Hecarim Build Guide by Gatorade4YoMama
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Hecarim Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
My first build so please be gentle ;) Hecarim has amazing AD capabilities. With this build, by simply auto attacking, you can be doing approximately 1200 DPS, THAT'S ****ING CRAZY! his abilities also make him a great initiator/ganker/and adds survivability. A good AD Hec will demolish teams.
HP - Health Points
AD - Attack Damage
AP - Ability Power
AS - Attack Speed
AA - Auto Attack
CS - Creep Score (Minion kills)
XP - Experience points
AOE - Area of Effect
Pots - Potions
Since his first sighting on the northwestern shores of Valoran, the towering, armored specter known as Hecarim struck a chilling fear into the hearts of all who laid eyes upon him. No one had ever seen anything like his titanic, ethereal form before, and the mystery of his sudden arrival was deeply unnerving. When Hecarim began to march eastwards, leaving a trail of desolate, lifeless ground behind him, the villagers of the plains fled their homes for the safety of nearby Demacia. In the city's now-overcrowded taverns, rumors about this inhuman phantom spread in hushed whispers. Some claimed that he was the vengeful shade of an ancient warrior, intent on destroying all living beings; one man insisted that they had seen him leading an entire legion of spectral cavalrymen; others still believed him to be the creation of some hateful necromancer. One Demacian commander, seeking to dispel the terror that had gripped the city, assembled a few of his finest soldiers and rode out to turn back or destroy Hecarim.
The commander led his soldiers to stand in Hecarim's path and braced for his assault. As the apparition bore down on them, an overwhelming sensation of dread gripped the warriors. The men, frozen in fear, could only scream as the ghostly titan ran them down, tearing them apart and trampling them beneath his iron hooves. Hecarim turned to the crippled, cowering commander and uttered a chilling statement: "This is merely the beginning. No mortal army can withstand the might of the Shadow Isles." With that, Hecarim departed, resuming his grim march. Driven to insanity by his nightmarish experience, the commander stumbled back to Demacia, where his dire warnings were dismissed as the ravings of a madman. While Hecarim's origin and intent were still a mystery, his destination became clear when he reached the Institute of War and, in a voice both ominous and commanding, demanded entry into the League of Legends.
"You don't understand... the shadows will consume us all..."
Former Demacian Commander
Pros / Cons
-Ridiculous amounts of attack damage!
- Onslaught of Shadows provides a means of escape like a free Flash
-Spamable Rampage for some additional Sheen damage
-Great initiator with both Devastating Charge and Onslaught of Shadows
- Warpath Turns movement speed ---> Attack damage, makes getting movement speed for chasing more viable
-Can chase down champs like a boss (which also makes him a viable jungler)
-Less HP than most solo tops (since most solo tops are tanks ie. Nautilus Amumu Jarvan IV.
-Pretty squishy late game
- Spirit of Dread doesn't give enough sustain and HP pots are required to stay in lane
I believe that the Mastery set up I made is pretty simple and shouldn't require much explanation. The point of these runes is to increase your damage output. I think it's also acceptable To make up for your lack of tanky-ness by doing a 9-21-0 mastery tree; however I feel that the standard AD masteries will wield better results.
I use Summoner's Wrath because it's easily worth it for the bonuses on Exhaust and Ghost.
I chose Sorcery over Vampirism because the cooldown reduction will help massively with spamming Rampage
Lastly, I chose Vigor over Durability because that HP regeneration will really help your sustain early game.
I decided to take the safe route and pick the stereotypical AD rune set up. I think there is actually hope for the otherwise useless Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed due to Warpath, however 4.5 bonus movement speed only equates to 1.125 Attack damage, so I still feel this isn't worth it.
Other choices (all in quintessence form)
- Greater Quintessence of Health (for additional tanky-ness early game)
- Greater Quintessence of Cooldown Reduction (for spamming Rampage)
- Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed (could be useful, but I think it's a waste)
- greater quintessence of vigor (sustain)
- Greater Quintessence of Life Steal (also for sustain)
Keep in mind when it comes to Runes/Masteries, I personally feel it is greatly based on personal preference, and everything I said should be taken with a grain of salt.
Start of game - At the very beginning seeing as though you're not very tanky, and Spirit of Dread doesn't give enough regeneration to keep you in lane, I recommend Boots of Speed and 3 Health Potions to give a small speed boost, and early sustainability.
1st item- TRINITY FORCE!!!!!! I will admit I doubted the effectiveness of Trinity Force on Hecarim compared to a(n) Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, or Wit's End, but I will explain why it's so effective.
Zeal is good because when you're looking for more damage attack speed, and critical chance is the way to go (other than flat damage). And the bonus movement speed is good too for chasing, and adds a little more AD.
Sheen is good because you get bonus damage for activating any abilities, and since you can spam your Rampage it can add up to a lot of bonus damage.
Phage is good because it gives some health for more survivability, and more importantly a slow with more AD!
Now add it all up and you get the mother of all items for Hecarim
2nd Item- Boots of Swiftness This one's pretty straight forward Movement speed ---> Damage movement speed + Damage = ownage chases and ganks
3rd Item- Wit's End This is great, it will give a little magic resist for survivability, and Attack speed. It will also add 42 magic damage per hit, which can be up to about 120(ish) per second and that's a lot for only one item.
4th Item- Phantom Dancer What is there to say? tons of critical chance, tons of attack speed, and some bonus movement speed (and if you haven't noticed the trend, that means more attack damage too)
5th Item- Infinity Edge This is the game ender. now your critical chance is through the roof and does 250% damage! Not to mention the extra AD you get!
6th Item- The Bloodthirster Can be very effective in survivability with all your damage output, and it also gives some nice damage.
7th Item- Madred's Bloodrazor Replace your Wit's End with Madred's Bloodrazor For me this item is a personal preferance, it makes getting blessing of the elder lizard (red buff) a snap. It also adds to your attack speed and damage, but most importantly IT RAPES TANKS!!!
Other Good Items
- Frozen Mallet is a good item because it gives you HP for survivability and bonus attack damage. It also adds a slow for better chases; however, I don't like it very much because it isn't as good as the other choices above. Yet it's a good replacement if you don't like Madred's Bloodrazor
- Last Whisper This is good for armor penetration, However unless they're stacking armor, I'd avoid it.
- The Black Cleaver It gives armor reduction and more AD/AS, so I perfer it over Last Whisper (more info Black Cleaver V.S. Last Whisper) However like with Last Whisper unless they are getting armor, I'd avoid it.
/ - both good if you need more survivability; However doesn't help much in the killing department.
Misconceptions/Don't Pick
- Atma's Impaler You have very little HP, so it's not worth it.
- Wriggle's Lantern It's basically a weaker less useful The Bloodthirster.
- Manamune Doesn't have enough mana (or need for mana) to make this item worth while.
Skill Sequence
Yay! No unit collision (as a Fizz player, it feels a bit like home) but more importantly now movement speed equates to damage (I tried to take as much advantage of this as possible) I noticed that by the end of the build I had a total of 45(ish) bonus attack damage!
Rampage is a great additional source of damage, especially with sheen, and keep in mind it doesn't stop auto-attacks so it's basically an extra attack. This is why I max it first.
Rampage can be used while farming to take out multiple creeps for more efficient CS
Always use Rampage after initiating a team-fight for the AOE damage.
Spam Rampage as much as possible for extra damage.
Spirit of Dread Is your only means of sustain. Unfortunately it's not very effective, for the mana cost is pretty high for the amount of life you actually get back. Even so it's important to use it whenever you have HP missing, or if you're going to attack a champion.
Devastating Charge is an ability that has multiple purposes, it's like a Swiss-army-knife.
1.) Initiating, you can use Devastating Charge to quickly attack for a good amount of damage and a push in whatever direction you desire your target to go. /league-of-legends/ability/devastating-charge-487 /league-of-legends/ability/devastating-charge-487
Keep in mind you get pushed with your enemy making this dangerous around turrets It's not like Alistar's Headbutt which just knocks the enemy back.
This is like your second Swiss-army-knife. Uses include:
1.) Initiation, fears and scatters their entire team making solo targets easy prey.
2.) Chasing, could close the final gap and do the final blow to your victim.
3.) Escaping, It's a free flash, you can use it to hop basically all terrain, or smash into your chasers and fear them to give you a leg up in distance.
Summoner Spells
As an AD carry Exhaust is what you use to get a few more seconds of oh-so precious auto-attack.
Usually Ghost is only useful for escaping, and or chasing, but now with new and improved Hecarim you also get bonus attack damage making this summoner spell better than ever, and a must have!
Teleport is my least favorite but if you're not good at maintaining good HP/Mana, or if you just can't wait to get your shiny new toy from the shop, this is the spell for you. Also, since you're a solo top, you can write it off ;)
Honorable Mentions
Ghost is much better because of the attack damage increase, and your Onslaught of Shadows is basically of a Flash anyway.
This ability is more for AP carries, it's better to Exhaust and get more auto attack in.
Perfect for heal-baits, and gives a little more sustain but other than that useless.
The attack speed is nice but the ability power is useless and the benefits are too small.
Great to escape from CC with all your speed, and Devastating Charge it can be a viable escape mechanism.
Noob alert!
You're not a support, it's not your job to have this spell
In rare occasions this can work, but for the most part it's useless. Please avoid this spell.
This is only useful if their hitting your base, but if that's happening, you have to solo 5 champions, and all you will accomplish is another death
This is only useful for jungling, and you're soloing top.
Acceptable for noobs that can't control their mana usage but mostly useless.
You're Role in the Team
As a Laner
1.) To defend your turrets.
2.) To stay alive.
3.) To kill the enemy.
4.) To make the other person(s) underfed.
5.) To get CS.
As a Ganker
1.) Not to die.
2.) Use Devastating Charge to knock them back towards your towers (or at least not towards theirs).
3.) Secure the kill make sure someone picks up the kill.
4.) Make sure you're tower is ok.
5.) Push the lane/take the tower.
6.) ???
7.) Profit
In a Team-Fight
1.) Initiate with Onslaught of Shadows.
2.) Kill the weaklings.
3.) Stay alive.
4.) Chase low HP champions.
Early Game 0:00 - 12:00
Your main job this early in the game is to get levels and gold through CS, and Champion kills. The person you're laning against is looking to either smack your face in, or ignore your existence and feed off creeps.
If you're facing and enemy that harasses hard, be cautious. You need constant ganks from your Jungler, and a "leg up" on your opponent (a higher level or more items), to keep your dominance over the lane.
If he is going for CS then try to out-CS him; however if he starts beating you in CS, then start harassing them, then he will either harass back, or accept submission and hide allowing you to feed harder than Cho'Gath Feasting during thanksgiving.
Why do this? Because late game you will have a higher level and more/better items than your opponents allowing you to rack up kills harder than pre-nerf Shaco.
Try to recall as little as possible, the more you're in lane the more gold and XP you get, and try only to recall when the other person in your lane is gone, or pushed to his turret, you could also use this time to gank mid or bot (if you have Teleport)
Middle Game 12:00 - 28:00
Ok now it's time to share your gigantic fatness with the other team. Your responsibility here is to make sure your lane is taken care of then run mid/bot/jungle, to grab kills and help with team-fights. During this time, just remember it's great to be fed, but give your AD and AP carries some kills too, for it doesn't matter how fed you are, one Hecarim can't kill 5 champions o solo mio. And don't forget to farm.
Late Game 28:00 - 45:00
Do your job to initiate, and help in team-fights, if you have Madred's Bloodrazor make sure you're getting the tank after making quick work of the lesser HP champions. Don't solo turrets, if you want to take a turret down without minions get your tank in there. Don't forget to be getting Red (if the AD carry is ok with it) Dragon and Baron Nashor (with your team of course!).
Extended Late Game 45:00 - End
Remember everyone's fed at this point. Doesn't matter how many kills you have, or your team have, nor does it matter how many kills the enemy has. One good push, one backdoor, or a single ace will cost the game. Be careful and win with good teamwork and great strategy.
Post Script
This build is incomplete! I rushed this build to get it out ASAP, but there's more to come! Pictures videos and more! Tell me how to make this build even better in the comments, please give feedback! Although I love thumbs up please rate what you think it deserves and if you do chose to down vote please tell me why.

- Frederick ForesteireSuperintendent of Everett Public Schools

Superintendent Foresteire: Reinstate the Theatre Curriculum of Everett MA High School
To: Frederick Foresteire
Superintendent of Schools
Everett Public Schools
Administration Building
121 Vine St.
Everett, MA 02149
Dear Mr. Foresteire,
On Sunday, July 7, The Boston Globe published an article titled "Students protest drama cutbacks: Schools chief says other priorities must be met first" by Kathy McCabe. In it, you articulate a plan for the cessation of theatre as a curricular option for Everett High School students.
We, the undersigned, urge you and the School Committee to reconsider the elimination of theatre classes.
By reinstating the theatre curriculum at Everett High School, and carrying forward the gains made in said curriculum over the past years, you offer students the means by which they:
• engage in the arts, and participate in the cultural life of their community and nation
• foster good citizenship by learning to empathize with people beyond their own experiences
• increase practical skills like teamwork, public speaking, project management, and personal accountability
These skills are key in creating a well-rounded educational experience, and in preparing teenagers for the rigors of college and their professional lives, regardless of whether they pursue a career in the arts, sciences, or business.
The American Alliance for Theatre & Education lists quantitative benefits of theatre education for high school students, including results from a study which show that students participating in theatre courses outperform their non-arts peers on SATs; have higher rates of attendance; and that classes in performance help to bridge achievement gaps for academically and socially at-risk students.
According to the reporting in the Globe, you believe, "Drama was always meant to be an extracurricular, after school and on weekends." However, it's clear from the petition signed by nearly 15% of the student body – theatre participants and audience members alike – that regular theatre classes are a valued part of the curriculum at Everett High School.
With this petition, we, the undersigned community members, support the students in their efforts and ask you to reinstate Everett's theater curriculum. We want to thank you for all that you do on behalf of Everett students and families and appreciate you taking the time to receive these thoughts. We hope you and the school committee will earnestly consider the positive impact you can make by continuing to include theater education in Everett High School's class offerings.
- Superintendent of Everett Public Schools
Frederick Foresteire
- Assistant Superintendent of Everett Public Schools
Dr. Thomas Stella
Theatre is more than just an extra-curricular activity. I support the students of Everett, MA, and ask that you reinstate the theatre curriculum of Everett Public High School in time for the 2013-14 school year.

Aren't you glad he's your president?
Let's hope he's a Star Wars fan.
President Obama on Thursday gave British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a set of 25 classic American movies to mark his historic visit to the White House.
Brown, the first European leader to visit Obama since his Jan. 20 inauguration, was presented with a "special collector's box" of DVDs during his two-day visit to Washington.
Downing Street, which reportedly tried to keep the present a secret, declined to say what movies were included in the set.
"One reason for the secrecy might be that the gift seems markedly less generous and thoughtful than the presents taken to Washington by the Prime Minister," London's Evening Standard newspaper reported.
The Daily Mail, however, reported the movie set included ET, Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz and was produced by the American Film Institute on "special request" from the White House.
Brown, who is not known to be a movie buff, gave the president and his children several uniquely historical gifts.
The first of which is a pen holder fashioned from the oak timber of HMS Gannet, a Navy vessel that served on anti-slavery missions off Africa.
Another treasure given to Obama is a framed commissioning paper for the HMS Resolute, a Royal Navy ship that came to symbolize British-American goodwill when it was rescued by the U.S. from icebergs and given to Queen Victoria. It is the sister ship of the HMS Gannet.
Finally, Brown gave Obama a first edition of Martin Gilbert's seven-volume biography of Winston Churchill, whose World War II partnership with President Franklin Roosevelt symbolized the U.S.-Anglo alliance.
For Sasha and Malia, Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister's wife, gave each an outfit from Topshop, a British chain of clothing stores, and selected six children's books by British authors which have yet to be published in the U.S.
In return, First Lady Michelle Obama presented the prime minister's two boys with toy helicopters modeled after Marine One.
Obama was so touched by the gifts, he called Brown on board his plane on Thursday to thank him. The call was placed after Brown addressed a joint meeting of Congress, the White House said. The two reportedly spoke for 10 minutes.
The White House later issued a press briefing to put on record how much Obama appreciated the gifts.
"The pen set is being displayed on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office and the books are in the President's personal study adjoining the Oval Office," the White House said in a statement.
During Brown's first trip to America in the summer of 2007, he was given a fur-trimmed brown leather bomber jacket by President George W. Bush.
The prime minister's reaction to the DVD set is not known
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses
Ravishing Ric
What do you expect?
of this kind of President? You really do not want to get me started
ravishing Ric
No I really would.....Let's hear some thoughts
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses
And other gifts in the future
For the president of France, here's a set of Dub 22's for your limo, and for the King of Saudi Arabia, here's a chain you can wear so you be pimpin' at the next OPEC meeting, playa!
"I have always been a soldier. I have known no other life. The calling of arms, I have followed from boyhood. I have never sought another." From The Virtues of War, by Steven Pressfield.
prez gifts
a carton of Newports and a case of 40 oz. bottles of Old English 800!oh wait,that is the forthcoming american stimuliae package!
DVDs What format?
I heard on the news the DVDs were in American and Canadian format, not Europe's. Has anyone heard whether that was true or not.
The gun that won the west wasn't registered
What is the diffrence?
BTW I see your a vet. Thanks for your service!!!
01*20*2013 Obamas last day!

I know its not prepping, its not survival gear, it not anywhere near any of that, BUT! I'm gonna have fun killing myself
I've decided if (thats a big if) my son decides he wants to do the boy scouts Philmont high adventure mountain hike, and our troop is lucky enough to win a spot (thats a bigger if), i'll sponsor him and go with him. knowing i have a year plus to get ready, i just started working on my light weight hike gear. My first purchases have been a light weight down sleeping bag, a self supporting hiking 4 season tent, and a new backpack. I took a class at REI the weekend before last to start to understand the whole thru-hiker thing. And i been buying and reading backpacker magazine since the spring.
The pack got here today. Its a Gregory Baltoro 75, and it is fantastic! its everything the guys at REI made it out to be, and more.
The tent is a Snugpac Scorpion 3. I got the 3 man because it will be my son and i and gear. it got here 2 weeks ago.
The sleeping bag is a Klymit KSB down 20. I'm really happy with it. its light, amazingly warm, and has funny stretch baffles that make it hug you.
Being that I'm not a thru-hiker, and other then a few overnight trail hikes with out troop where we went 10 to 12 miles, i'v never done anything like this 12 day hike, let alone cover this kind of milage, i wonder if any of you have done some of this. Michigan is flat like a pancake, and nothing like the mountains in that part of New Mexico. What things should i being to do to get my 55 year old (by then) body and mind ready.

There is a lot of plot in this movie - probably too much. The best thing to do is to accept the plot, and then disregard it, and pay attention to the scenes of passion. They really work. show more
It begins promisingly.... But the film has no center, succumbs to drift, and gets away from Hackford. [03 Mar 1984]
The story wanders unconvincingly and tediously into corporate law offices and big, splashy nightclubs. Still, Mr. Hackford has the documentary maker's eye for realistic detail, so it all looks right. [01 Mar 1984]

Eureka! Scientists just discovered that Comets on Fire is the missing link in rock 'n' roll evolution. The hard-hitting noiseniks provide the connection between late-'60s vintage Grateful Dead and Paranoid-era Black Sabbath, long theorized but until now never established. A few savvy researchers, including Comets themselves, saw this coming: The San Francisco Bay Area five-piece is indigenous to the Dead's original stomping grounds, and its earlier records were blues-based, psych-metal monuments, full of deafening riffs, droning electronic ambiance, and relentlessly hypnotic rhythms. With Avatar, Comets back off the volume, distill the distortion into eerie filigree, and take a logical step toward sonic refinement. Imagine Tommy Iomi jamming on Anthem of the Sun, the Dead's weird, trebly, 1967 studio joint. It's all there on Avatar wiry, dual guitar interplay, muddled vocals, choogling bass lines, a sense of dark, open-ended experimentation tucked into cogent, six- to eight-minute songs. If you're a metal fan and snicker at the Dead's freewheeling ethic, you might rue the influence, but you can't deny it. And if you're a Deadhead, try something a little heavier. Both camps can come together and hesh out/get high to Comets on Fire. And the boys at the lab already proved you all have the same haircuts anyway.

Geneva Live: Qoros 3 hatchback unveiled
A bit of a car freak and a bike nut, and a fan of trucks and technology too. Expect sharp stories that focus on those four fronts. As always, stay tuned to IndianAutosBlog.com for quick and unassuming updates from across the world.
Followed by the its launch last year, Chinese brand Qoros has unveiled the Qoros 3 hatchback at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show. The Qoros 3 hatchback gets the same powertrain as the Qoros 3 sedan which was launched at last year's show. It will be marketed first in China in the middle of 2014 and later in Europe.
The car is available in four variants – Essence, Experience, Experience Plus and Elegance.
A pair of 1.6-liter engines power the hatchback. A four-cylinder 16 valve naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine powers the Essence, Experience and Experience Plus models, for which it produces 126 hp (power band not specified) and peak torque of 155 Nm at 3,900 rpm.
A turbocharged version of the same 1.6-liter engine is available as an option for the Experience Plus model and as standard on the top Elegance model. This engine produces 156 hp and 210 Nm between 1,750 and 5,000 rpm.
The Essence model comes only with a six-speed manual, while the other 3 variants come with a 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. The DCT unit features an electromechanical control unit that also allows the driver to shift gears manually.
The five-door five-seater also has the same Qoros Crash Management System that gave its sedan a five star Euro NCAP rating.
Check the press release for in-depth details.

Durability/Reliability Testing Across the Photovoltaic Development Value Chain
This webinar will provide a detailed examination of the appropriate durability tests, those required as well as those recommended, at each step of the value chain. There are several steps required in the development of photovoltaic systems for the generation of solar energy, from the screening and selection of materials that comprise cells and modules to the field deployment of a system. Durability tests, whether dictated by contractual agreement or as a basic component of a prudent development program, are necessary at each significant step to ensure acceptable long-term performance of PV systems.

Carl Pettit
Carl Pettit is a writer and editor with interests ranging from international relations and political humor to the arts and modern media.
Water adds so much to a garden. And while ponds and pools are nice, the trickle and splash of an active fountain breathes fresh air and even a bit of a mystical quality into your garden oasis. When it comes to choosing or building a fountain for your garden, there are many options available to you. Some of these options can be quite complex (if you so desire), but they don't have to be.
If you want to get your kids outside, away from their Xbox or Wii, and interested in some of your backyard garden projects, you'll probably need to be somewhat inventive with your gardening ideas. Pulling weeds and planting flowerbeds just won't cut it for most of children. Think incentive here.
We have some ideas.
Sure, you could take the easy route and head on over to Ikea or your local lawn-and-garden shop and pick up a few pieces of outdoor furniture for your backyard. But if you really want to impress your friends and indulge your creative flair, you might want to consider some of these more unusual options:
Sometimes gardens are for growing things, and sometimes gardens are for constructing massive playgrounds for you and your friends.
You can add a lot more to your backyard garden than border stones, flower beds and creatively shaped patches of lawn. If you really want to transform your outdoor sanctuary into something special, why not turn it into a mancave paradise?
Everyone wants to amaze their friends now and again, making them jealous of your adventure-filled life. You could post photos of you and your parents sitting camelback in front of the pyramids in Egypt, or maybe make your pals sit through a video of you riding a zipline across a tropical canyon somewhere. But hey, we've all done that, right? Let's kick it up a notch.
Man is widely considered to be the deadliest animal on the planet, mostly because it's hard to match the killing power of our guns and nuclear bombs. Even so, there are plenty of lethal predators out there that are more than willing to take us on and, if fortune favors these creates in battle, rip a chunk out of our flesh, or even end our lives.
When it comes time to celebrate the passing of another year, people around the world often gather together and make a lot of noise in order to demonstrate their good cheer.
Everyone knows Christmas Day is all about tearing open presents, spending time with loved ones, gorging on lots of good food and celebrating the holiday spirit in general. Even though most of us have got the holiday thing down by now, some folks out there might not be aware of some of the unusual and history-making events marking Christmas Day and Christmas Eve in the past.

Next Level Gaming has posted the following:
- NBA 2K6 Review (PS2, Xbox - 85/100)
"One area Visual Concepts has never had to worry about is presentation. And they retain their edge this year too. The level of detail in the character models and arenas continues to impress. The player models have been refined to look and move more realistically, and include some signature moves from players, like Shaq's hook."
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 Review (PS2 - 87/100 Xbox - 89/100)
"Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 is easily the best golf game to date on a console. The gameplay is solid and has been refined over the years. The course selection is great, and the Tiger Proofing adds more to those courses. The new control system takes the series a step closer to becoming more realistic."
- Cricket 2005 Andrew Flintoff Q&A (PS2, Xbox, PC)
Next Level Gaming: "Do you play any other sports, if so which ones?"
Andrew Flintoff: "I'm a natural competitor so I love football and rugby too. I'm also learning how to play golf and getting better all the time!"

Vocations on the rise in Australia
Vocations to the priesthood in Australia are flourishing, after a decline in applicants during the1990s. the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference has announced. Seminaries in all the dioceses of Australia are admitting increasing numbers of students. The Good Shepherd Seminary in Sydney has 42 resident students, the highest number in recent years. Another seminary in Sydney, the Redemptoris Mater, opened by the Neo Catechumens, has 50 students including sixteen new candidates to the priesthood admitted this year. Other dioceses are registering similar increases in vocations. The Diocesan Seminary in Wagga Wagga has formed 25 priests now working in various parts of Australia. This year the seminary welcomed seven new students. Perth Seminary has 22 students and Melbourne seminary has two new students this year. Vocations director Fr Paul Stuart said that vocations to the priesthood were particularly coming from university students. He said this tendency was promising for the future of the Australian Church and society in the years ahead. Local Catholic sources said the increase in vocations was a fruit of renewed and intensified pastoral work with young people which has been a priority for Church in Australia in the last decade.

text: I just spend some time over at cars.com in the CarTalk section. For those of you not familiar with the CarTalk it is a comedic call in show on public radio where two brothers who are long time mechanics (and MIT grads I might add) give advice on car problems. Now, I've known for a long time that public radio is a haven for liberal thought (not that there is anything wrong with that). And I know that the hosts are against cell phones while driving and SUVs. And I must agree with their positions in this matter. However, what prompted this posting was my interest in the CarTalk brother's opion concerning the Subaru WRX. Much to my suprise they absolutely hated it. They called it over-powered. After some investigating on their site I find that they are agains any car with a power to weight ratio excceding .06. For refrence our cars with a V-6 just barely reach that ceiling in 99+ trim, and the V-8 guys are pretty much screwed. They consider high power to weight ratio cars to be just as irresponsible as gigantic SUV's. The condemn subaru, ford, GM, and Chrysler for marketing to the 16-24 year old age group who are the ones they feel who have the most accidents. Article Subaru Rant This seems rediculous to me. Am I bad person because I want to mod my car then? I don't think power in cars is a problem at all. First off, 16-24 year olds can't afford Vipers, Cobras, and Corvettes. And those that car lie in the far margins at best. And I know people who are down right scary with civics, accords, and other underpowered boxes. On the other hand I do think any type of media, marketing, or product that promotes street racing is idiotic. (Read "The Fast and The Furious) What do you guys think?

New Way completely changed life for me and my son. It is a great school providing greatly needed services for students who are overlooked and undereducated in the public school system. As a result of my son's New Way education, we have several options to consider for the future! We will be forever grateful for this school!
Previous Stories
My son became student at New Way just over a year ago. The progress he has made both academically and personally is amazing. He works hard in all his classes and for the first time has been willing to participate in sports, something he was never willing to do in the past. Before New Way, homework was an emotional battle and often did not get done at all. Now he completes his work, independently. New Way assessed and addressed his learning challenges and figured out the best way for my son to learn. I am so grateful for the Teachers and Staff at New Way. With their support I believe (we both believe) that anything is possible for my son's future!
A year ago we were at a total loss as to help our son in regards to school. The frustration and anxiety he felt at school translated into intense homework battles. He never felt "good enough," "smart enough" or able to ask for/receive the help that he needed. New Way Academy has made all the difference in our lives. I now have a son who loves school and who actually looked forward to the end of Fall Break so he could get back to his friends and teachers. He finally feels like he can be himself and not be judged. New Way has made an incredible impact on my son's (and family's) life.
New Way is a school community of teachers and professionals who are passionately dedicated to students with learning differences. The teachers utilize research-based, multisensory curricula and a compassionate understanding of students who are often misunderstood in other settings. The New Way experience helps students who have endured academic struggles find success and the motivation required to persevere on their learning journeys. The athletic program as well as an array of other extracurricular activities help each student feel valued as a unique member of the school.

The Name of This Book is Secret Pseudonymous Bosch
presentation by: Hannah Taylor
If I had one word to describe this book it would be interesting!! However, sections of this book were difficult to understand. The author wrote a suspicious story. It kept me wanting to read more and more. In my opinion, some parts of the book reminded me of the Lorax. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to you.
Cassandra- Cassandra is the main, adventurous character. She is also a survivalist and likes to be called Cass.
Max-Ernest- Max-Ernest is Cass's friend. He loves logical adventures.
Ms.Mauvias- Ms.Mauvias runs the Midnight Sun, and is a devil in disguise.
Dr.L(Luciano)-He is a partner with Ms.Mauvias. He too is a devil.
Grandpa Wayne + Larry- Grandpa Wayne & Larry are Cass's adopted grandpa's. They own a fire station in their town.
Benjamin Blake- Ben is a boy in Cass's school. He was trapped in the Midnight Sun.
The conflict in this book was that Cass and Max-Ernest was trying to find the magician. They also wanted to know what the Symphony of Smells does.
Eleven-year-old schoolmates Cass and Max-Ernest are nothing alike. He is pleased when Cass becomes his first real "friend." Together they find the Symphony of Smells and a notebook about a suspicious magician. Cass's mom goes on a trip to Hawaii and leaves Cass behind with her grandpa's. Cass and Max-Ernest's adventure --- and danger --- begins.
The solution of this book is that Luciano was found, and Max-Ernest and Cass discovered why and who made the Symphony of Smells.
Cass and Max-Ernest try to figure out who the magician really is. Then they get caught in another situation...a boy in there school was kidnapped by the Midnight Sun. They try to save Benjamin Blake when they find out that the magician is there!!! Dr.L is Luciano the magician. Now they are trapped in the Midnight Sun. Read the book to find out if they ever get out!

Mancie, Take the Power Back, Bernardo, Sister Nicodema
The Rock Shop
249 4th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11215
Doors 7:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Mancie is a garage rock band led by Andrea Montgomery. Based in Williamsburg, they've enthusiastically been called "The Runaways meet Black Sabbath" at a recent show on the up-and-coming New York concert circuit, and the comparison is clear when they bring their gritty distorted guitar parts and emotionally-driven rock sound to the stage.
Take the Power Back
TAKE THE POWER BACK established themselves as the world's first and only all-female Rage Against the Machine tribute band in October 2008 in Nashville, Tennessee. Since that time, they've shared stages with many popular all-male tribute bands, and they've followed in the footsteps of RATM by performing at benefit shows for local non-profit organizations such as Southern Girls Rock and Roll Camp. At TAKE THE POWER BACK shows, RATM devotees offer their ecstatic approval. Those expecting a novelty act instead find a gutsy rock band and the skeptical are converted.
Upon hearing RATM's self-titled first record for the first time in over ten years, guitarist Sarah Rose Jones rediscovered why Rage's songs resonate with so many people - including herself as a teenage girl in the mid-1990s. She then made it her mission to find three other like-minded women to share the experience of playing Rage's fervent and passionate music. Local drummer Laura Taylor was excited enough by the idea to immediately go home and play the only RATM song on her iPod (for the record, it was "Bulls on Parade"). Though bassist Sarah Shepherd will be quick to tell you that she was previously completely unfamiliar with RATM, she soon found herself to be a new Rage fan. It would take a special person to capture the intensity as well as the sensitivity of frontman Zack de la Rocha, and the logical choice was Katy Odenbaugh, even though this would be her first time in a band. An administrative professional by day, Katy has managed not only to express de la Rocha's distinct voice with a powerful feminine style, but also to capture his ferocious screams in a way no one could imagine upon first glance.
These four ladies aspire to carry forth the ideals represented by RATM. Rap legend Chuck D once made the statement that by naming their band Rage Against the Machine, de la Rocha and his bandmates made a promise to their fans to do just that. TAKE THE POWER BACK chose their own band name in that same vein rather than going with a girly twist on a Rage song title (of which they've heard quite a few... and they're all amusing). Conscious of the unconventional rarity of being an all-female rock band playing protest music, TAKE THE POWER BACK seeks not only to rock RATM fans by staying true to the songs, but also to change minds and shift attitudes about what it means to be in the minority, much in the same way their forefathers in RATM did.
Michael DeMinico, Eric Clay, Takei Yamasaki, Jake Adams, and Matthew Bernardo (no relation), hailing from the Park Slope, Brooklyn vicinity, bring catchy, soulful, crowd-pleasing original rock anthems to your ears. Your time and energy will be put to work during this boombastic presentation that at times resembles a battle between two bears named Earthquake and Hurricane. Expect rock. Expect fun.

Robert Lewandowski has put a "hungry, young striker" on his Christmas list. So Olivier Giroud?
Olivier Giroud could now be a doubt for the north London derby after pulling out of the France squad...
A round-up of all the international action from Friday. Lukaku equalled a record
Who are the most used substitutes at your favourite clubs. WARNING: Includes 'quail nonce'...
Frank Lampard thinks that Arsenal will be helped this season by their decision to hold onto a key player.
Former Everton boss Ronald Koeman has revealed that he had Olivier Giroud "in the building".
Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte missed out to ZInedine Zidane as best men's coach.
Not a bad goal, that. He's up against teenager Deyna Castellanos and a goalkeeper!
Olivier Giroud gave it plenty of thought, but opted not to join Everton in the end. Lucky Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger praised Jack Wilshere as "outstanding" and Olivier Giroud's "remarkable achievement".
Olivier Giroud is the obvious place to start, but what of the other 19 Premier League clubs?
"I said to the boss 'our story is not finished' and everyone was pleased with that." What a man.
Jack Wilshere is "getting stronger", while Francis Coquelin "is out for three weeks". So the season.
Nine Arsenal players have deals expiring in 2019, although Chuba Akpom might not expect a call.
Olivier Giroud's "heart" and "soul" can be credited with the assists in his stay at Arsenal.
"It is fantastic," says Arsene Wenger after revealing that Arsenal's match-winner won't be leaving the club...
Marseille boss Rudi Garcia has given up hope of signing Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud.
He thought Bobby Madley made the wrong decision in booking Willian for simulation in the first half.
"Giroud fancies the competition." Let's see if that's still the case when he's benched at Burnley in November...
But just look at him, Rudi. Regardless, the Arsenal striker won't be joining Marseille...
There's a suggestion Giroud and Sturridge should exchange benches. Also in the weekend Mailbox: not much, actually. Sort it out.
A Chelsea move for Aubameyang could have repercussions for Arsenal, while Liverpool close in...
It is not Dean Saunders' silliest suggestion ever, but that is hardly saying anything. Giroud to Liverpool, eh?
"Make no mistake, we are working hard every day, but it is not easy." Positive thinking.
Nainggolan to United, Aubameyang to Chelsea, Giroud to Dortmund, Lucas to Lazio, Nasri to Roma.
Olivier Giroud was wheeled out to look sexy in the new kit but confirmed that he could never actually play in it.
A "bargain" compared to another striker target who Napoli are demanding £25m for, that is.
The Daily Telegraph says that Alexandre Lacazette's arrival makes Olivier Giroud 'most likely to leave'.
Giroud, Hart, Sanchez, Lukaku, Morata, Mbappe, Gibbs, Costa, Bakambu, Jorginho, Hernandez. Busy...
Can West Ham deliver on their promise this summer and bring in some decent strikers?

Release Notes: A test mode and the option to specify the mail server to use were added. This release also limits the size of an email message when the included log files make it to large. The patterns to detect a worm are now stored in a file, which makes it easier to add patterns. Some new patterns were added.
Release Notes: The scripts now use a GDBM database to keep statistics about the warnings that were sent. This database is also used for rate control to avoid sending too many warnings for the same IP. The ATD-Mass exploiter was added to the recognized attacks. The IP and timezone of the host which runs the script are included in messages to the ISP. Some small bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: A conflict with newer versions of the Mail::Sender module was fixed. A bug which caused wormwarner not to log for some specific email server problems was fixed.
Release Notes: Wormwarner now runs as a daemon which lets it respond within minutes after an infection attempt. The abuse.net database is queried before starting whois queries to find the email address of the ISP to warn. Code cleanups were also made.
Release Notes: This release features improved whois lookup functionality, and can now execute commands (which could be used to modify adaptive firewalls).
Release Notes: warnisp.pl has now the --attack option which will report scans with sfind.exe to the ISP of the scanning host. The SSL log file is no longer used. The whois lookup function was improved. There are also some bugfixes.
Release Notes: A script which parses the log file of wormwarner to warn the ISPs of the hosts that could not be reached was added. Support for the sadmin worm was added. The Scalper worm is now recognized by parsing the error log, and is no longer mentioned as the FreeBSD Scalper worm, but just as the Scalper worm. The logline is now added to the logfile for the warnisp.pl script.
Release Notes: The documentation was improved. Some command line features were added, and the program now uses a configuration file. Some minor bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: Some Apache servers write the date as [9/Nov/2002 instead of [09/Nov/2002. The script is now able to recognize this date format.
Release Notes: The Linux Slapper worm is now detected by parsing the Error log file instead of the ssl log file. This should improve recognition.

Kolkata, Dec 1 (IANS) Amid allegations that three suspected ISI agents arrested from Kolkata had allegiance to the Trinamool Congress, union minister and BJP leader Nitin Gadkari, without taking names, claimed on Tuesday that appeasement of terrorists had been taking place in the country.
"National security is not a question of politics and it should never be politicised. But unfortunately, the situation in the country is such that for vote-bank, appeasement of terrorists and terror organisations also happens," Gadkari, who is the minister for road transport, highways and shipping, said on the sidelines of an event here.
Gadkari made the remarks while commenting on the arrest of three suspected ISI agents, one of whom was allegedly a member of the students' wing of the Trinamool Congress while another was a union leader owing allegiance to West Bengal's ruling party.
Gadkari's comments came a day after the BJP tore into the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool government, accusing it of turning the state into a 'safe haven for terrorists'.
The union minister, however, praised the Banerjee government for its commitment to the Rs 12,000 crore Sagardwip sea port project in the Bay of Bengal.
"The Bengal government's support towards the Sagar project has been good and Mamata Banerjee has shown a keen interest. We are confident that together we will get the project started soon," he said.
Blaming Pakistan for resorting to a proxy war against India, Gadkari stressed on the need for fighting collectively against terrorism.
"Pakistan knows it cannot win against India in a war, so it has been indulging in proxy wars and trying to break India's communal harmony.
"It is also not true that people from a particular religion or belief are involved in (terrorism). We all need to collectively battle terrorism. Across the globe, nations including Muslim counties have agreed to fight against terrorism," he said.

I've had a frantic few weeks. Okay, couple of months.
We've finally reached a detente on the crappy weather here - we're getting glorious summery weather interspersed with mank - pretty typical in June here really.
I've been busy making a quilt. I didn't realise making a quilt could be a full time job and more but boy did I work on that quilt for weeks for many many hours a day. However, until it reaches its recipient, you can't see the quilt.
Instead, I offer you a bit of knitting. It's a cardigan, believe it or not. I started off with a bold choice for me - burgundy and gold and white stripes. And I hated it. Not me. Not colours I wear or have stuff to wear under it. So I changed it, overdyed the gold yarn to make it green, changed the burgundy for blue and SURPRISE! Colours I will wear happily.
|This is not an FO
::Rolls eyes::
I've had some quilts done for ages. I'm having a bit of a love/hate with the first one - I love the fabric, I think it is so pretty and lovely but I'm not so pleased with the fabric designer. It's not a personal thing, mind, it's just something that made me somewhat more of a Tula fan.
|I have fun with my free motion quilting. I just do stuff as it happens.
When I'm doing the backing, I often like to have co-ordinating fabrics and also use up scraps and excess blocks from the front. Sometimes I have to cheat. I nearly always do pieced backings, though the most recent finish doesn't have anything from the front on the back. This one does.
|The back - this is a really badly centred shot, sorry!
|One day I'll stop relying on phone shots of the quilts for blogs.
That day has not yet come.
|Front or back?
|Front or back?
I've got some other quilts done earlier in the year so I should share them. Some of them need to find new homes too. I've done a bucket-tonne of knitting too. It occurs to me that I don't have beauty shots of the knitting. Should get them.
Finally a few shots of happiness and joy in my garden. Some Austin roses and hyoooge poppies like we are not allowed to have in Australia. We can have Flanders/Corn poppies and Californian ones and Icelandic ones but we cannot have ones that look like opium poppies. Woecakes!
And strawberry season has arrived!

'Lowe leaves Mercedes for Williams'
10 January 2017 – Mercedes technical chief Paddy Lowe has left his post to join Williams, according to reports.
Lowe joined Mercedes in 2013, playing a key role in three successive double title-winning seasons, but his contract was set to expire in May, and he had been heavily linked with a switch to Williams.
Sky Sports reports that Lowe has now chosen to exit Mercedes for Williams, in a move that could speed up Valtteri Bottas' move in the other direction, following discussions between the two outfits.
Nico Rosberg's shock retirement freed up a space at Mercedes, and Bottas quickly emerged as the German manufacturer's primary target, with Felipe Massa set to replace him at Williams.
Asked about the growing speculation over Lowe, a Mercedes team spokesperson said: "I am afraid we cannot make any comment at this stage; we will be in touch if and when that changes."
James Allison has been mooted as a potential replacement for Lowe.
Lowe started his F1 career with Williams in 1987, completing a six-year spell as Joint Head of Electronics, before a 20-year stint at McLaren, where he rose to technical chief by 2011.
Lowe worked alongside Toto Wolff as Mercedes dominated F1 from 2014-16.

The Senior Courts Costs Office has heard all the evidence and must now decide if the 'massive risk' run by Leigh Day & Co justifies the firm's 100 per cent uplift totalling £105m.
One of the most controversial cases of the decade is being heard by senior costs judge Master Hurst and Mr Justice MacDuff in the Senior Courts Costs Office last week (6 December), with Leigh Day & Co attempting to justify its £105m legal bill for its part in the Trafigura case.
The revelation that Leigh Day had claimed a 100 per cent success fee as part of its £105m bill stunned the profession.
Trafigura's counsel, Sean Wilken QC of 39 Essex Street, told the High Court that the fee was "staggeringly high", adding: "I'm told that this is one of the largest – if not the largest – costs claims in legal history."
Yet Leigh Day partner Martyn Day, who represented the 30,000 Ivory Coast residents who sued oil company Trafigura, insisted that the risks involved meant the firm could justify the 100 per cent uplift.
"These cases are a massive risk," stressed Day. "You're talking about claimants who live in a war-torn country and you're up against a company that turned over $80bn [£54.41bn] last year. They're fighting for their reputation and the battle's fierce. The risks are extremely high. It's entirely right that we should be compensated for that risk."
But the case never reached the High Court and the £100m claim was settled without Trafigura admitting liability, although it did pay £30m into a compensation fund to be distributed among the 30,000 claimants.
In the build-up to the trial media firm Carter-Ruck was instructed by Trafigura to shut down press rumours about the company's alleged involvement in the dumping of toxic waste.
Claims were launched against the BBC and The Guardian, while Day was the recipient of a libel writ from the defendant company.
When the settlement was reached MacDuff J, who is also hearing the costs case, commented: "I've beenfollowing what's been happening in the media, in the newspapers and on TV and radio. I've witnessed how wildly inaccurate some of the statements have been."
This will no doubt be a point of contention at the costs hearing, with Trafigura's counsel scrutinising the itinerary of costs built up by the firm.
Judgment is expected to come early next year and cause yet more controversy. But it could still be that Trafigura, whose legal bill for the case amounted to £14m (£91m less than Leigh Day), comes out on top.

Lupin Arm to pay Bayer Damages Over Patent Infringement
Posted On 07 Apr 2017
Tag: featured, law, news, regulations
An Australian court has asked the Australian arm of Lupin to pay A$30 million to Bayer in a patent infringement case. Bayer began the lawsuit over alleged infringement of its patent for its Yasmin contraceptive. Bayer claimed that Generic Health, the Australian arm of Lupin, violated that patent by marketing its Isabelle drug. Lupin acquired a controlling stake in Generic Health in 2010 in a move that gave the Indian firm access to the Australian pharma market.

Pimco Bravo Fund
5 RepliesJump to last post
Does anyone have knowledge of this fund? It is a private placement I believe with a 500k minimum? I had someone ask me about it but I am not having much luck finding anything out yet. I will add to this when I find out more.
100 views and no replies?
Well I found out is is supposedly only offered through MSSB and Citi Private Bank. I doubt PIMCO will get a Snyder Kearney report which means there isn't a way I know of to research this fund unless a MSSB or Citi guy on here knows anything.
Is anyone looking into ways to buy troubled assets from banks? What about foreclosed properties? Is this area still too speculative? I would think it could offer nice returns over the long term.
Franklin has some sort of fund if I recall, that specialized in dealing with bad assets. Might not be such a bad idea to look into that? Yup, it's the Mutual Recovery Fund. FMRAX is the symbol. I'd be curious to what folks think? Might be a good non correlation type holding. I'm concerned now, that stocks, bonds, oil, and metals are all seemingly correlated.
BTW, anything from Pimco in my eyes, is Bravo Sierra...
Bravo Sierra, haha good one and I agree. But FMRAX's top holdings doesn't really reflect "troubled assets" -
I will do some more digging.
Yeah, I saw that. Also, they have like 11% cash. SO, maybe they don't see what they are looking for, yet?

Q: I read a report on Denver Broncos Football player Rahim Moore having an injury called "lateral compartment syndrome." The story caught my eye because it said that anyone who is an athlete could suffer this dangerous injury stemming from any sort of hit or fall. I'm a cyclist and train pretty hard. I've also taken a few spills that have bruised me up. Can you explain to me what to look for and how to prevent this injury when I'm training or racing? -Ed; Denver, Colorado
A: By way of background, Denver Broncos safety Rahim Moore suffered a leg injury in the first half of last Sunday's game against Kansas City and was out the rest of the game. When the pain persisted during the night, Moore alerted the Broncos trainer who astutely referred Moore to a specialist. On Monday, Moore underwent emergency fasciotomy surgery, a procedure that repaired the bleeding in the muscle sheath in Moore's left lower leg, which decreased the pressure and restored the leg's blood flow.
Lateral compartment syndrome is an injury that can occur from a hard impact that causes bleeding and swelling in the limbs. This results in restricted blood flow to the muscles and nerves that supply them necessary oxygen and nutrients. It can be very serious if left untreated, and lead to muscle damage, loss of a limb, infection, nerve damage, kidney failure, or even death. LCS typically develops over time when one has suffered repeated injury to a limb. The danger is that when the tissue swells there is no room in the surrounding compartments for the limb to expand, causing the muscle, vessels and nerves to become squeezed, which in turn, results in severe pain. The good news is that there are warning signs: Decreased range of motion, pain that does not let up, numbness and the "pins and needles" feeling (legs and feet fall asleep), and in the late stage, paralysis of the limb.
Competitive athletes, of course, are more prone to repeated impact injuries, and thus, at a higher risk but other causes of lateral compartment syndrome include falls, fractures, casts that are too tight, prolonged limb compression, legs elevated in surgeries longer than six hours, intravenous drug injections and anabolic steroid use that can cause muscle swelling. You'd be interested in knowing also that competitive cyclists can be afflicted with "chronic compartment syndrome," or CCS, from sitting too long on bike seats. It's recommended that when out for a long ride or race, you stop and get off your bike seat every now and then to get your circulation turned back on. Make sure you schedule some rest days between training days and if you do take a spill or two, keep a close eye on the injury – ice and elevate the afflicted area – and if it gets, worse see a doctor right away.
The bottom line is that you can really do yourself some harm if you try to "tough out" an injury. Train smart – be smart – and get medical help when you need it.

Audio Vitamins have introduced Contra Free, a freeware feature-limited version of their commercial Contra (£40) mixing utility and plugin wrapper for Windows and Mac OS based DAWs.
Contra can do a number of useful things, although its main purpose is comparing multiple plugins (or different settings of a single plugin) in order to help the users come up with important mix decisions. The full version of Contra can be used to compare up to eight different plugin slots, whereas Contra Free offers only three slots. In addition, the full version can do longer loops (up to 32 bars per plugin slot).
So, how does the plugin work? Once the plugin is loaded for the first time, you can tell it to scan your computer for VST plugins and add them to its internal plugin list. After that's done, you can load the different effects (up to three slots are available in the freeware version, as mentioned above) and adjust the parameters for each plugin to your liking. Once you're happy with the settings, push the play button in your DAW and activate the loop in Contra. This way, Contra will solo each plugin for a certain number of bars (as determined by the loop length parameter setting), letting you decide which setting and/or plugin sounds best in your mix. In other words, it automates the process of soloing each plugin manually in your mixer, thus making it easier to focus completely on the sound of each plugin.
What's really cool, though, is that Contra also provides automatic gain matching of the active slots, so that your ears (providing that the automatic matching is done right) shouldn't be fooled by different loudness settings of different effects. In addition, Contra will match the delay compensation for every plugin in the chain, so that the transitions between the plugins are completely seamless (otherwise, the loop would be choppy if a particular plugin had higher latency). In terms of stability and CPU usage, I didn't run into any issues while testing Contra. The CPU hit is almost non-existent and I didn't run into any stability issues whatsoever, even during the initial plugin scan (although Contra does notify you in advance that it might freeze during the initial scan).
When the loop is switched off, Contra acts as a regular channel strip (all loaded plugins are active at the same time). Since Contra can save custom user presets which preserve the parameter settings of each loaded plugin, it can also be used as some sort of a custom multi-effect rack, as well as a tool for expanding the number of plugin slots offered by your DAW's native mixer. In other words, you can create, for example, a custom multi-FX mastering chain in Contra and save it as a preset for later use. Nifty!
Another handy feature offered by Contra is the ability to load VST and AU plugins in Pro Tools. I'm not sure if there are any other freeware utilities out there that would let you do this, but either way, this seems like a pretty damn useful feature for Pro Tools users.
The only drawback I noticed is that it isn't possible to choose a custom VST plugin directory for the scan. This is quite a bummer, since I keep all of my VST plugins on a separate hard drive. The developers are aware of this issue and they're working on an update which will fix this. They explained that, since they're Mac OS users, they overlooked the fact that Windows users can install plugins to non-default directories.
Contra Free is available for free download via Audio Vitamins (22.2 MB download size, EXE installer, 32-bit & 64-bit VST/VST3/AU/AAX plugin formats for Windows & Mac OS).
