Blake, US start strong
Blake is in a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard alongside Germany�s Bernhard Langer and England�s Carl Mason.
Below that trio the only non-American in the next 17 places was Scotsman Sam Torrance, who shot a 69.
Carnoustie, widely rated as the toughest links layout on the British Open championship rotation, is vastly different from most of the courses on the Champions Tour.
�It�s a golf course where you can�t be aggressive because you can�t fly the ball at flags like we are used to over in the courses we play in America,� said Blake, who had six birdies and two bogeys. �I have had to learn a whole new game, which is fun. It�s exciting, but it�s tough.�
Among the Americans chasing the leaders were U.S. Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin (69) and former captain Tom Lehman (71).
Delahoussaye shoots 62 in Canadian Open
At Toronto, Brent Delahoussaye shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to match the Canadian Open record, making an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey in perfect scoring conditions at historic St. George�s.
Four others have shot 62s in the Canadian Open, the first three at Glen Abbey. Leonard Thompson set the mark in 1981, Andy Bean matched it in 1983, both at a par of 71, and Greg Norman did it in 1986, when par was 72. Hunter Mahan had a 9-under 62 at Angus Glen in 2007.
Delahoussaye, 29, also broke the course record of 64 set by Canadian George Knudson in 1968.
Vance Veazey and Brock Mackenzie opened with 64s.
Oosthuizen tied for lead
At Stockholm, British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen shot a 5-under 67 and was tied with Australia�s Richard Green and Dustin Johnson of the United States after the first round of the Scandinavian Masters on Thursday.
Just four days after his runaway victory at St. Andrews, Oosthuizen started full of confidence on an overcast, breezy day at the Bro Hof Slott course with a birdie at the par-5 578-yard first hole.
Pressel shoots 66
Morgan Pressel of the United States birdied the first three holes and finished with a 6-under 66 Thursday to lead after the first round of the Evian Masters in Evian-Les-Baines, France.
Melissa Reid of England and Sun-Ju Ahn of South Korea each birdied the last hole to join her in the lead. Michelle Wie (68) was tied for sixth.

When two specks in the distance start shooting at Ferdinand Bardamu on the first page of Céline's Journey to the End of the Night, he quickly comes to the unshakable conclusion that it is all a big mistake. His only viable option is to get out of that situation as soon as possible. The colonel overseeing his fate, a man with no use for fear, is deemed a "monster" and "worse than a dog", but absolutely typical of the army as a whole:
"…I realized that there must be plenty of brave men like him in our army, and just as many no doubt in the army facing us. How many, I wondered. One or two million, say several million in all? The thought turned my fear to panic. With such people this infernal lunacy could go on forever….Why would they stop? Never had the world seemed so implacably doomed."
Bardamu's attitude is one of absolute revulsion for his commanding officers. The report that his sergeant has been blown up while going to meet a bread wagon is an occasion for celebration ("that makes one less stinker in the regiment!…In that respect you can't deny it, the war seemed to serve a purpose now and then!"). The countryside? Even on the best of days "dreary" and godforsaken, "if to all that you add a war, it's completely unbearable."
If a reader wants to understand the driving force behind Jacques Tardi's It was the War of the Trenches, that person need look no further than Céline and his famous novel. Here bravery is seen as the enemy of logic. The heroes of Tardi's comic are hate, fear and cowardice, the only sensible reactions to being asked to perform the impossible under insane conditions. This is not a wholly truthful or complete picture of the Great War and it is one which is unlikely to be recognized as such by any surviving veterans. So much the better as far as Tardi is concerned:
"This is not the history of the first World War told in comics form, but a non-chronological sequence of situations, lived by men who have been jerked around and dragged through the mud, clearly unhappy to find themselves in this place, whose only wish is to stay alive for just one more hour…"
"It was not my goal to create a catalogue of weapons and uniforms…I avoided any and all "historical" events that have long ago been analyzed and filed away by historians, or better yet, related by witnesses…The only thing that interests me is man and his suffering, and it fills me with rage."
There are no great deeds in Tardi's comic. No Légion d'honneurs, no Croix de guerres, no Victoria or Iron Crosses. No suggestion that only the brave and courageous have the right to cry out in protest. No sense of fellowship, no pitched battles to gratify our base senses and desires, and certainly nothing of that most typical of war time sensations, boredom. There is certainly truth in most of these presentations of war, all ably presented by those who seek to find meaning in adversity (a very human predilection), those who seek to honor the fallen, those who seek to relate personal truth and, yes, even those whose jobs are to fill the ranks of our modern armies for reasons of national defense. But Tardi's purpose is not commemoration or exaltation but to elucidate what he feels is the most important and "banal" lesson of this and any war: the absolute horror of it. Or to be more precise:
"What retained my attention is the man – whatever his color or his nationality – who is considered disposable, whose life is worth nothing in his master's hands..a banal observation that remains valid to this day."
The purpose of this is indeterminate. Is it so we should not too willingly enter into such ventures or as Count Otto von Bismarck once said in a speech to the Reichstag in 1867:
"Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war."
Is it an antidote to the means and "phrases" used in recruitment and channeled through society with techniques both obvious and subtle (and the gradual washing down of our resistance to the same)? Perhaps, these are the most obvious and mundane answers. It is sufficient to note that Tardi's polemic is firmly anti-war though not strictly pacifist.
[See commentary on use of living shields from Belgium in War Time]
All of this seems to be conveyed with the cynical understanding that those who remember the past are condemned to repeat it anyway. The force of intent, the relentless focus on everything that is hateful about war over shadow the intermittently dry and clumsy narration, the sometimes innocuous expressionistic terror (something which does not come as easily to Tardi as it does to, say, Alberto Breccia for example) and the overly familiar tales (such as the use of Decimation as a form of punishment for cowardice).
The soldiers who populate Tardi's story are umbral figures who elbow past us in this subterranean inferno; ciphers and strangers with unknown histories, known to us only by rumor and anecdote before they meet their ends within a few terse pages. They have names but we can barely remember them. There are only the images: the man with his guts in his hands; the soldier with his half his face annulled by shrapnel; the nameless penitents who line the amputee's sanatorium; the grands mutiles provided with "secluded rural settlements…where they [can] holiday together." (The First World War, John Keegan)
The effect of this curt catalog of pain is not individual remembrance and is the opposite of the propaganda which once emanated from pens and brushes of Allied writers and artists during the war; that which led the British war artist, Paul Nash, to famously remark that,
"I am not allowed to put dead men into my pictures because apparently they don't exist."
But it is a kind of propaganda nonetheless, and it finds expression and feeling in one of Nash's letter from Passchendaele:
"I have seen the most frightful nightmare of a country more conceived by Dante or Poe than by nature, unspeakable, utterly indescribable. We all have a vague notion of the terrors of a battle, and can conjure up with the aid of some of the more inspired war correspondents and the pictures in the Daily Mirror some vision of a battlefield; but no pen or drawing can convey this country…Evil and the incarnate fiend alone can be master of this war, and no glimmer of God's hand is seen anywhere. Sunset and sunrise are blasphemous, they are mockeries to man…The rain drives on, the stinking mud becomes more evilly yellow, the shell holes fill up with green-white water, the roads and tracks are covered in inches of slime, the black dying trees ooze and sweat and the shells never cease…It is unspeakable, godless, hopeless. I am no longer an artist, interested and curious. I am a messenger who will bring back word from the men who are fighting to those who want the war to go on for ever. Feeble, inarticulate, will be my message, but it will have a bitter truth, and may it burn their lousy souls."
The object here is not to elicit pity but to portray the unrelenting dehumanization and madness of armed conflict. It is, of course, not a first hand account though some of these memoirs are mentioned favorably by Tardi in his introduction (Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel for instance). The other difference between these books and Tardi's comic is apparent but seldom highlighted – they were frequently written from the viewpoint of officers. Two of the most celebrated accounts of the Great War are written from this perspective, the aforementioned account by Jünger and Robert Graves' Good-bye to All That.
The horrors are ever present in Jünger's memoir: a leg hangs loosely from a tattered body; an artery is struck and packets of lint exhausted soaking up the mess as the man bleeds to death; the dead are sprawled across no man's land in various stages of decay, the corpses left to rot unburied, in eternal rest yet in visual and olfactory communion with the living. There is little time for lengthy contemplation as one might expect from a work derived from a war time diary. Instead what we get are straight descriptions of foreboding and fear. The war – its horror, its excitement – moves ever forward. The tension here is not between good and evil or even war and peace (though this occasionally rears its head) but between simple adventure and patriotic sacrifice – a terrible portrait of resignation, accommodation and the acceptance of murderous intent:
"We were up for it, in the best and most cheerful condition, and expressions like 'avoid contact with the enemy' were not in our vocabulary. Anyone seeing the men round this jolly table would have to tell themselves that positions entrusted to them would only be lost when the last defender had fallen. And that indeed proved to be the case."
And later of a steel helmeted infantry man…
"Nothing was left in this voice but equanimity, apathy; fire had burned everything else out of it. It's men like that that you need for fighting."
It is very far from the ideas surrounding anti-war fiction and the reader will find it quite easy to understand why the novel was embraced by the Third Reich. The whispered shout above the morass of detail is not "beware", "avoid" but we sacrificed, we overcame, we looked into the abyss and became men.
Written several years after the close of the war, Graves' memoir is a different kettle of fish. In the biographical essay which accompanies the Berghahn Books edition of Good-bye to All That, Richard Perceval Graves writes (quoting Grave's essay "P.S. to Good-bye to All That"):
"From the first Graves intended the Good-bye to All That should be a popular success; and later wrote that he had: 'more or less deliberately mixed in all the ingredients that I know are mixed in other popular books…murder…mothers…T.E. Lawrence…the Prince of Wales…But the best of all is battles, and I had been in two quite good ones…So it was easy to write a book that would interest everybody.'"
Paul Fussell adds a further twist to this in his reading of Graves' book in The Great War and Modern Memory:
"Of all memoirs of the war, the "stagiest" is Robert Graves' Good-bye to All That…working up his memories into a mode of theater, Graves eschewed tragedy and melodrama in favor of farce and comedy…And what is a Graves? A Graves is a tongue-in-cheek neurasthenic farceur whose material is 'facts'….His enemies are always the same: solemnity, certainty, complacency, pomposity, cruelty. And it was the Great War that brought them to his attention…If it really were a documentary transcription of the actual, it would be worth very little, and would surely not be, as it is, infinitely re-readable. It is valuable just because it is not true in that way. "
Graves' was scarred by his war time experiences, yet much of his memoir suggests a man who still wants to keep up appearances. There is everywhere the feeling of camaraderie, a sense of duty tinged with irony and admiration. There is a certain pride taken in the proper running of the infantry battalions as well as the discipline required thereof; an interest in the proper conduct of trench warfare, the niceties of military drills, the maintenance of boundaries between officers and enlisted men and the perfection of communal action in combat.
[Two facing images from Tardi's comic]
Tardi will have nothing to do with this. The soldiers of It Was the War of the Trenches are the laggards and liabilities so despised by Graves and Jünger. They are unpatriotic, poorly trained, lacking in initiative, misanthropic, cowardly and completely lacking in esprit de corps. They are in every sense bad soldiers and in almost every instance dead soldiers.
Such is the case with Binet, the bloated corpse we see at the start of Tardi's comic, mocking and hateful in all his ruminations.
The portraits of his trench mates are lined up like the half-remembered prisoners of a death camp: the put-on artists, the kiss-asses, the morons – Binet "loathes them all". It is the only way he knows how to survive. And it is because Binet cannot forget that he finally dies, rushing into no man's land in search of the long forgotten corpse of a "friend".
Tardi's tale is crammed with these obliterated figures: carcasses tossed into trees at the behest of artillery shells…
…an infantry man destroyed by shrapnel even as he remembers his fear when faced with the order for mobilization…
…the black market trader caught in a bear trap whose body becomes a shelter for rodents…
…mad men, cowards, murderers, thieves; all of them anonymous, all of them looked upon with disapproval in times of war, all of them remembered in this book because of what war has made of them; an echo of Ferdinand's conversation with Lola in Céline's novel:
"But it's not possible to reject the war, Ferdinand! Only crazy people and cowards reject the war when their country is in danger…"
"If that's the case, hurrah for crazy people! Look, Lola, do you remember a single name, for instance, of any of the soldiers killed in the Hundred Years War?…Did you ever try to find out who any of them were?…As far as you're concerned they're as anonymous, as indifferent, as the last atom of that paperweight…Get it into your head, Lola, that they died for nothing! For absolutely nothing, the idiots!"
Tardi's story has "idiots" to spare. One of the more effective vignettes occurs over two pages where a solider introduces a filthy needle into his arm in order to escape the front via a suppurative wound; here juxtaposed with images of a Renault FT-17 ploughing relentlessly through fragile defenses, leaving crumpled and masticated bodies in its wake.
Tardi offers a modest amount of this kind of artistic reinforcement throughout. The French tricolore is brought up for ridicule in the placement of these atrocities within the confines of three uniform rectangular panels per page (Art Spiegelman sees a relentless beat in this repetition; Sean T Collins identifies them as "miniature trenches"). The litany is taken up by the recurrent imagery. Men are strung up like scarecrows, some hanging from trees, others draped on barbed wire like flaccid dolls. Corpulent military policemen are dangled like fresh meat outside a butcher shop by the sheep they were suppose to guard; …
…a barely recognizable horse – a disemboweled half-human thing – is seen peering curiously from a tree.
[The Disasters of War No. 37 "This is Worse"]
But there is little time for such meditations on these Stygian fields. Time and death wait for no man. The artillery shells are laid out in neat rows awaiting direction, the hospital theater is a strangely sterile and unmuddy trench, the zombies laid out for inspection.
One solider is worried about lice, another about digging a trench in a cemetery. Now nameless and dead on the day of armistice.

(4) Sean T. Collins on Tardis' art, a review of Tardi's comic at Joes' Reviews, a review by Dan Nadel and Kristian Williams' take on the book
Tardi's comic is a complex work which can be approached in a number of ways. I've simply chosen the most obvious one in this instance.
There is of course the question of whether Tardi's comic brings anything new to the table with regards the Great War. We should first dispense with the idea that the work is notable simply for being executed in the form of comics. Such a notion might be acceptable for people who have a particular investment in comics but is of little use to vast majority of readers.
Having said this, there are elements inherent to comics which do enhance the experience of reading Tardi's book. Some of the reviews above address Tardi's comic from this viewpoint. The short episodes that comprise It was the War of the Trenches work quite well when thrown together to form this impassioned collage of black ink. The lack of overt markers signaling the end of one story and the start of another allow these tales and characters to meld into one another in a way which I suspect would not have been as satisfying if filmed or as visceral if conveyed in prose. Much popular fiction relating to the Great War (actually war in general) has an overriding narrative enforced over the proceedings. Tardi eschews this and what we are presented with seems closer to the experience of viewing a series of paintings or photographs elaborated upon for context and emotional resonance. This abbreviated, staccato-like approach is something which grew out of the album's serialized roots. The reader dictated pace at which these static, forceful and occasionally multi-layered images unfold adds to the comic's power; that ability to set aside, reread and to dwell inherent in narratives transmitted in the form of physical "books" accentuates our experience of these war time accounts.
Some might say that the Tardi's comic has limitations in terms of its conceptual strength but I often find that an overzealous sheen of "artistry" hampers truth when it comes to the subject of war. That act of elevating some formal aspect or literary quality often has the effect of diluting and obscuring the essential truth of conflict. Tardi provides just enough of this to keep us engaged but his focus on a very particular and one-sided truth is steady and unrelenting; that "truth" being that war is unmitigated suffering and devoid of value. I imagine that such an unnuanced view of war isn't the whole of Tardi's conception of it but it is the undeniable thrust of this comic. It is an unusual artistic object in that sense, especially if one considers the vast majority of depictions of war in film and comics where there is often some light or redemption.
A quick note on one of these reviews. The writer at Joe's Reviews suggests that Abel Gances' J'accuse was "obviously an influence on Tardi". I have no firm knowledge of this and perhaps the reviewer cites Gance's film only for its imagery (especially in its third act). But lest there be any confusion, let me just say that Gance's film is considerably more romantic and theatrical than Tardi's comic. It is truly a product of its time filled with a surplus of strained caricatures, varied acts of heroism and camaraderie, awkward anti-German propaganda and a profusion of gothic and poetic elements. The almost ridiculous chivalry and melodrama found in this important and seminal film seems to me to be the very anti-thesis of Tardi's comic.

What does Peter Jackson have to say about the $800 Middle-earth Limited Collector's Edition?
Cliff and Justin from theOneRing.net had a live stream tonight in which they discussed the "ultimate fan" set, and revealed that PJ and Michael Pellerin (producer) were not involved in the making of the it. In fact, Warner Bros. was approached about including the coveted unseen footage from the films that we have been longing for for well over a decade, but that didn't work out.
"In addition, there was the added difficulty of [Warner Bros.] needing to access the original negative and scan the outtakes, bloopers and additional sequences. They declined to do this." – Peter Jackson
Cliff and Justin brought up a lot of good points as to what should have been included, such as never-before-seen documentaries for each film. Justin also showed many of his copies of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit on DVD and brought up the great point that we are the perfect customer for this kind of product! The films have been released on different formats with a bunch of different packaging and many of us gladly bought them, myself included.
Just to refresh your memory: this Collector's Edition (which has recently been lowered to $599.99 USD on Amazon) comes with both trilogies, extended scenes and appendices already released in past editions, so there isn't anything new for us to watch. It has been repackaged to look like it could have come straight from Bilbo's study or Elrond's library; real pretty packaging, there's no denying that. Anyone who buys it will also receive a Red Book of Westmarch styled sketchbook with sketches and film artwork, and exclusive art prints by John Howe and Alan Lee.
Watch tORn's video to hear everything they–along with Peter Jackson and his team–had to say. You can also read PJ's full statement on their site.
What about you? Will you be buying this collector's item? Or are you still holding out for the 25th anniversary edition that, we hope, will actually involve the people who worked on the films?

acrylic on canvas.
One man summarized this painting with these words
"I hypnotised myself to ask the question, what is my sub-conscious? Under hypnosis I stood before an apparently infinite bleak vertical wall of water before me. Out of the darkness appeared a massive ancient silent face, with a tadpole like tail below its entangled beard. It floated before me, knowing me, but no verbal communication passed. I 'asked' if it could come through the barrier of water, it replied by distressing images of itself flailing about on the ground before me, a massive mouth gasping for breath as I tried in vain to push its gigantic wet bulk back into the water; a most upsetting image. I then asked pensively if I could enter its realm, by which it projected that for a short time that I could. I floated in a sea of emptiness, with no above or below, each direction a blackened sea of eternity. The gravity of eternity pressed hard against my mind. I screamed silently to escape as I could not comprehend it. I returned to where I stood and asked what does this mean? It replied by wordless thought that neither could survive in the others place, one constrained by time and the other by eternity. This being was ancient, perhaps all-knowing and almost silent, resting in the minds of men. It could communicate, but only by fleeting whispers seeping into the consciousness of temporal man.
This painting is a representation of my 'vision' If held upside down it has a person sitting reading reflectively from a book, while this opposite eternal entity waits and watches patiently for the acquirement of knowledge to reveal some part of its universal self."
I asked him for some of what he'd been smoking..

text: Earlier this summer I had planned to buy one or two Nautilus NV reels. I talked to one dealer about getting an NV G5 model, and a second dealer about the NV G7. These are both Nautilus dealers, and are located near me in SW Montana. Both assured me they had these reels on order, and expected to receive them by the end of May, or the beginning of June. However, to make a long story short, neither dealer has received these reels yet, and after talking to a third Nautilus dealer, I understand that Nautilus has a reputation for not always delivering reels to their dealers when promised - something about not having a sufficient staff in Miami, Florida. This has got me to wondering if their customer service is as delinquent as their delivery of new fly reels to their dealers. Anyone have any experience in that regard? Even though I think Nautilus makes some pretty nice reels, I'm not sure I really want to own one if their customer service isn't top notch as well, in case I might need it at some future point in time. Thanks, John

that one time of the month when the lioness in me goes to rest, or riles up in unexplained strength…
it depends on the moment I guess.
that week when all the thoughts and emotions that I've held together -kept control of- comes tumbling. like the little trick cans that you open and everything comes flying out. that one day when if what you're saying isn't logical then I just don't want to deal because my emotions are on hiatus, or at the forefront…
it depends on the moment I guess.
I say "it's that time, so don't judge my reactions" but the truth is, this is the perfect time to understand me, because whatever I've been holding in, is now breaking through.
I unravel.
like a mummy coming undone. the skeleton of my thoughts/emotions being exposed.

Three vintage Maigret novels by legendary mystery author Georges Simenon
One of the world 's most successful crime writers, Georges Simenon has thrilled mystery lovers since 1931 with his matchless creation Inspector Maigret. In My Friend Maigret, Inspector Maigret investigates the murder of a small- time crook on a Mediterranean island. Told in Simenon's spare, unsentimental prose, Inspector Cadaver is a haunting exploration of provincial hypocrisy and snobbery, in which Maigret encounters a rival sleuth from his past. In Maigret and the Man on the Boulevard, Simenon's tenacious detective pieces together the life of a man who for three years lived a secret life-until he is found stabbed to death in an alleyway.

At first, Nina turns Jim's world upside down, but as time goes on, the quiet librarian reveals a provocative alter ego. Laura Colella's dramedy turns into a film within a film as the actor-character barrier dissolves and one cast member attempts to turn the tides by changing the story line.

Arrested: Fernando Mariscal, 19, Boise
Charges: Malicious Injury to Property
Citation Issued:Minor Consumption
Boise Police responded to calls from two
citizens of a vandalism taking place in a neighborhood near
Fairview and Five Mile early this morning, November 2nd, at
approximately 2:00 a.m. Witnesses tell police that three suspects
were seen riding bicycles through the neighborhood striking
vehicles and mailboxes with a baseball bat as they travelled. When
officers arrived, one witness pointed out the suspects in the yard
of a nearby residence. One juvenile suspect immediately fled on
foot. The baseball bat was recovered nearby. Officers determined
the suspects had been drinking alcohol and appeared to be
intoxicated at the time, resulting in the minor consumption
charges. After a detailed investigation Fernando Mariscal was
arrested and issued a citation for minor consumption. A second 18
year old suspect was cited for minor consumption and officers will
route the investigative information for a warrant on the malicious
injury charge. Officers identified the third juvenile suspect who
fled on foot and that investigative information will be routed
requesting a warrant on similar charges.

For years we've seen businesses focus on creating a positive customer experience to help drive the success of their business. Until recently, however, there hasn't been a focus on developing an irresistible employee experience. The idea is simple, yet powerful–take care of your employees, and they will take care of your customers. Ensuring the wellbeing of your employees is an absolutely essential part of the foundation of your organizational culture. When you focus on the wellbeing of your employees, you begin to directly impact the employee experience.
The three essential elements for driving a positive employee experience are wellbeing, culture and engagement. By creating consistent positive experiences for your employees, you will create cultures that attract talent and retain high performing engaged employees.
By foundationally focusing on the wellbeing of your organization, your employees will genuinely know that you care about their health and happiness – in and out of the office. What does this encompass?
The employee experience encompasses so much more than perks and free snacks; a strong employee experience empowers and supports employees to be their best and meet their goals, at work and beyond. This includes diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Employees should be encouraged to bring their whole self to work so that they can feel included in a company culture that supports them. By fully integrating employees into the company culture and giving them the tools to thrive in their roles, you can heavily influence the employee experience across your organization. Take care to listen to the voice of the employee because it shows you care about what your employees desire: having a purpose in the company, the opportunity to grow, and to feel like they are being holistically taken care of by the business.
As an organization, two key questions to ask are "Why would someone talented want to work at our organization?" and "How do we retain our talented and engaged employees?"
These questions both tie directly to building an irresistible employee experience. It starts by creating daily positive experiences that will transform company cultures to drive broader employee engagement.
Technology plays an important role in your employee wellbeing program. Delivering a consistent, simplified employee experience that engages employees in all aspects of their wellbeing, while also promoting your organization's culture, mission and purpose, can be incredibly difficult. This is where technology can help.
Look at how you can extend your wellbeing initiatives and wellbeing technology platform to:
Concrete data linking wellbeing investments and business performance already exists. With the right analytics tools and partners, HR and benefits executives will gain concrete data and actionable insights that will help advance company performance, organizational goals and the employee experience.
The advancement of wellbeing analytics isn't merely a function of analysis and assessment; it's directly linked to innovations in technology. Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI), wellbeing analytics tools will completely disrupt the way HR leaders currently influence employee experience and business performance within their organizations. It won't be long before machine learning and AI will be embedded into employee wellbeing technology, providing insight into member behavior, program utilization, healthy habits, and their real-time, immediate impacts on performance, engagement, and culture.
To have a workforce that is excited, energized and motivated, you must invest in your employee experience. At Virgin Pulse, we're committed to engaging employees and igniting better businesses around the world by helping organizations deliver employee experiences that matter.
By challenging organizations to put the spotlight on employee wellbeing, 2017 will become the year that organizations embrace the employee experience as their most significant differentiator. Not only does a continuous, positive employee experience inspire healthy, happy employees, it drives engagement and culture, and significantly impacts business performance.

Ford Makes Its Way to Silicon Valley with New Research Lab

(Source: blogcdn.com)
The lab is expected to help the automaker develop new partnerships with tech firms and universities
Ford announced a new research lab today that will represent the automaker's first step into Silicon Valley.
Ford is planning to build and open the Silicon Valley research lab early this year. The idea behind the new structure is to create new partnerships with a variety of technology firms as well as surrounding universities like Stanford in an effort to develop
affordable and innovative technology
for personal mobility.
The new lab will be placed in the San Francisco Bay area in California. Ford made it clear that this new lab will not replace or duplicate work from the automaker's Research and Innovation Center in Dearborn, Michigan, its technology office in Nanjing, China or its European facility in Aachen, Germany. Rather, the Silicon Valley version will focus on independent technology projects and the development of partnerships with surrounding companies like Microsoft in Redmond, Washington.
"Ford has an incredible heritage of driving innovation in the transportation and manufacturing sectors during the past 107 years," said Paul Mascarenas, Ford chief technical officer and vice president of Research and Innovation. "Now it's time to prepare for the next 100 years, ushering in a new era of collaboration and finding new partners to help us transform what it means to be an automaker.
"An open attitude to
new ideas
is critical to solving the transportation, environmental and societal challenges we expect in the future. With increasing pressures from urbanization and the need to reduce energy use, we're going to see energy storage, wireless connectivity, sensing systems and even autonomous vehicles as key parts of the solution."
Ford mentioned that the number of employees at the new lab will be "comparable to what you expect of a startup," meaning probably not many for now.
Ford has outlined a few areas it hopes to focus on and accomplish in particular via the Silicon Valley lab, including personal mobility, the use of sensors to improve a range of driving functions such as intelligent windshield wipers, and open-source hardware and software developer kits to supply developers with important vehicle data for the creation of new services and cloud-based apps. In fact, Ford is launching research platform OpenXC for developers along with New York-based Bug Labs.
More ideas for the new lab will be described by Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally when he attends the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas January 11.
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

Ch. 4 - Ecosystems and Communities
4.1 - The Role of Climate
4.2 - What Shapes an Ecosystem?
4.3 - Land Biomes
A biome is a particular physical environment that contains characteristic plants and animals.
4.4 - Aquatic
determined mainly by depth, flow, temperature, and water chemistry
Climate and Microclimate
Climate is important in determining a biome's characteristics.
2 main factors in determining climate:
temperature & precipitation
The Major Biomes
Tropical Rain Forest
Tropical Dry Forest
Tropical Savanna
Temperate Grassland
Temperate Woodland
and Shrubland
Temperate Forest
Northwest Coniferous Forest
Boreal Forest
Rain Forest
Dry Forest
hot & wet year round
nutrient-poor soil
ferns, broad-leaved evergreens, orchids, vines
jaguars, monkeys, toucans, insects, anacondas, boas
warm year round, alternating wet & dry seasons
tall deciduous trees, orchids, aloes
tigers, monkeys, elephants, monitor lizards
Tropical Savanna
warm temps, seasonal rainfall, frequent fires
perennial grasses, fire-resistant trees or shrubs
lions, cheetahs, zebras
low precip., variable temps, mineral rich soil
cacti, bushes, plants with short life cycles
lizards, insects, rattlesnakes, coyotes
Woodland & Shrubland
moderate precip., cold winters & hot summers, fertile soil
perennial grasses resistant to drought, fire, and cold
wolves, bears, rabbits, hawks, insects, snakes
hot dry summers, cool moist winters, nutrient -poor soil
evergreen shrubs, fragrant oily herbs that grow during winter and die in summer
foxes, mice, quail, lizards, snakes
year-round precip., warm summer, cold winter, fertile soil
deciduous trees, conifers, flowers/herbs, mosses
deer, bears, turkeys, skunks
Northwestern Coniferous Forest
abundant precip. during Fall, rocky, acidic soil
Fir, spruce, hemlock, redwood
bear, elk, deer, owls, bobcats
Boreal Forest
long cold winters, short mild summers, nutrient poor soil
coniferous trees, some deciduous tree, small berry-bearing shrubs
timberwolf, moose, beaver, weasel-like animals
strong winds, low precip., permafrost, long cold and dark winters
mosses, lichens, sedges
migratory birds, arctic foxes, caribou
Land biomes are grouped geographically and aquatic ecosystems are grouped according to abiotic factors
What are the abiotic factors in this ecosystem?
Freshwater Ecosystems
Two Main Types:
flowing water ecosystem
standing water ecosystem
Flowing-Water Ecosystems
Ex. rivers, streams, creeks, & brooks
Begin in elevated areas, usually from an underground water source.
As the water flows downhill it picks up dirt and sediment which enables plant life.
Standing-Water Ecosystems
Ex. lakes and ponds
Some water does flow in and out, but most is continually circulated.
Plankton which are tiny free-floating organisms can survive here.
Freshwater Wetlands
An ecosystem in which water covers the soil or is near the surface for at least part of the year.
Very productive ecosystem where insects, fishes, amphibians, migratory birds, and aquatic animals may be found.
3 types:
What is Climate?
is the day to day condition of earths atmosphere at a particular time and place.
is the average year after year conditions of temperature and precipitation in a particular region.
Greenhouse Effect
The natural situation in which atmospheric gases trap energy from the sun.
The Effect of Latitude on Climate
Three Main Climate Zones:
- cold areas where the sun's rays strike at very low angles, found between 66.5 and 90 degrees N and S
- affected by the changing angle of the sun over the course of the year, found between polar and tropic zones
- receive direct or nearly direct sunlight year-round, found between 23.5 degrees N and S
Heat Transport in the Biosphere
we have winds and currents because of the unequal heating of the earth's surface.
Biotic and Abiotic Factors
Biotic Factors - biological influences on an organism within the ecosystem
Abiotic Factors - physical or nonliving factors that shape an ecosystem
A habitat is the area where an organism lives and it includes both biotic and abiotic factors.
The Niche
The full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions.
Snapping Turtle
Community Interactions
- occurs when organisms of the same or different species try to use the same resources at the same time.
Can two species occupy the same niche?
- interaction in which one organism captures and feeds on another organism
- any relationship in which two species live closely together
The resources can be any necessity of life.
Competitive Exclusion Principle - no two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time
- both species benefit
- one benefits, the other is harmed
- one organism lives in or on another organism and harms it
Ecological Succession
Primary Succession - succession that occurs on surfaces where no soil exists
The series of predictable changes that occurs in a community over time.
The first species to populate the area is known as the pioneer species, this is often lichens.
Secondary Succession - caused by a disturbance of some kind changes an existing community without removing soil. ie. abandoned farmland or wildfires
Whale-fall Community

Liberia, a country in West Africa, suffered under almost constant civil war from 1989 to 2003. It is estimated that over 250,000 people were killed. Today, there is a democratically elected government, but the economy still struggles.
Nearly 43% of the population of about four million is under the age of 14. Believer Bible Chapel, a small Liberian congregation, recognizing that education is the hope for Liberia's future, has established a school that now serves 135 students 3-13 years old, many of whom are orphans as a result of civil war, AIDs, and Ebola.
Founded in part by Christ the King's members from Liberia, our Liberian Partners Ministry works to support education and growth in Liberia by providing financial support to the school established by Believer Bible Chapel.
In the past, CtK members have sent school supplies, clothing, and financial gifts to purchase food and to build a new roof on the school building. This summer, we gathered school supplies like notebooks and pencils that will soon be sent our our partners.
Join us this Sunday, Oct. 6 during all services to learn more about this continuing partnership.
Donations made this Sunday will be put towards the construction of a new two-story school building with classrooms and desks Donations can be made to Christ the King, designating the Liberian Partnership.
Liberian Partners is one of many Social Ministry initiatives at CtK. Learn more.

Not just those with Down syndrome
Re: "Cherished Children" (News Analysis, Oct. 2), I wanted to share my thoughts and input. I appreciated the stories about families of individuals with Down syndrome and in particular, the focus on the many gifts that these children and adults offer. However, I would like to challenge OSV to include all persons with intellectual disabilities (formerly referred to as mental retardation), not limiting the stories to those with Down syndrome.
While Down syndrome is a particular type of intellectual disability that is most often recognized by the greater society, there are thousands of others with intellectual disabilities. These individuals also possess inherent gifts that they share as they are able—and as others are open to receiving them.
As the director of a faith-based community for adults with and without intellectual disabilities, I would like to encourage you to expand your understanding and coverage beyond those with Down syndrome.
Again thank you for the article that addresses the gifts of those with disabilities.
— Amy Finn-Schultz, Jacksonville, Fla.
Repeal. Then what?
The Oct. 2 issue included two letters to the editor in opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and none in favor. The Republican agenda to repeal this important legislation has apparently been very effective and ignores the legislation's many positive provisions.
Does the legislation need a conscious clause amendment? Most definitely.
But what about other important protections of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act? When evaluating the new law we as Catholics must rely on facts, not opinion, as to the strengths and weaknesses of the law and on how well it meets Catholic social teaching.
Pope John Paul II, in his encyclical "The Gospel of Life" spoke about millions of human beings who are forced into poverty because of an unjust distribution of resources between peoples and social classes.
Repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act would play into this unjust distribution. If the law were repealed, when, if ever, would a replacement be passed? And any replacement of the law by this Congress would most likely put insurance companies back in charge.
Would that best serve the poor and middle class?
— Fay Helmon, Issaquah, Wash.
Charity in parishes
Re: "How the rising poverty rate is putting the squeeze on one community" (News Analysis, Oct. 9), I applaud the Providence, R.I., Catholic anti-poverty efforts, but even more could and should be done by our Church.
Bishop Thomas Tobin is obviously a kind and competent cleric, but he misses the point when he asserts "it is only the government that has the financial resources and political infrastructure necessary to respond in a systematic way to the enormous social needs of our time." This is a cop-out!
The Catholic Church is pre-eminent to the federal government in organization, infrastructure and members. The federal government doesn't have the financial resources. It simply takes money from us and returns an unacceptable remainder because of excessive overhead, inefficiency, wrongful indoctrination and political favoritism.
Here is my proposal. The director of social services in each parish should initiate and monitor an anti-poverty partnership program. Those of us who have been blessed by Our Lord with above average assets and capabilities would be ideal candidates.
Volunteer partners could, in effect, adopt an impoverished applicant family and provide financial assistance and general advice to ensure that the entire family is prepared for meaningful participation in business, community and church affairs.
In poorer parishes with inadequate partners, volunteers could be sought from neighboring parishes. Let's get started.
— David J. Young, Supply, N.C.
Staying in touch
Re: "Newspapers, new media and reading from iPads in Mass " (Openers, Oct. 16).
Thank you for your article regarding social media and the dissemination of information. I am one of those people who love techno gadgets, as well as Catholic news and readings.
My iPad is one way to carry such items as daily readings, the Catholic Bible and other books. It also allows me to stay informed via Catholic news from the Vatican.
On the other hand, I absolutely am excited when I get the Catholic Virginian (our diocesan paper) in the mail each week.
— Adrian Stevens, via email
Getting the joke
Wow! The letters printed in the Oct. 9 issue might have set a new record for snarkiness.
But the one lecturing Jesuit Father James Martin about "Priest-author makes case for lightening up — even in church" (In Focus, Sept. 25) should have set off irony alarms for everyone concerned. Except the author, of course!

Paul E. McMahon, "Virtual Project Management: Software Solutions for Today and the Future"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 1574442988 | PDF | pages: 345 | 10,4 mb
Virtual Project Management: Software Solutions for Today and the Future explores the technical management issues involved in the revolutionary new way of building complex software intensive systems faster and cheaper by employing the power of distributed operations. The book examines the implementation issues that cut deep inside present day collocated engineering organizations and recommends practical and affordable actions to aid organizations seeking increased productivity through distributed operations.
The demand for integrated solutions constructed from a combination of existing and newly developed software increases daily. Many organizations find themselves with shortages of the critical skills necessary to compete in many of these newly created markets. Employing virtual collaborative development provides a dramatic increase in a companys opportunities to successfully compete. Virtual collaboration provides a broader skill and product knowledge base coupled with a deeper pool of personnel to potentially employ. It removes two of the major barriers - company affiliation and physical location.
Virtual Project Management: Software Solutions for Today and the Future focuses on critical characteristics underlying how work actually gets done in traditional collocated engineering environments. It examines the changes taking place on virtual projects through a series of anecdotes based on real project experiences. The book provides an 8 step practical and affordable plan that can be used as a framework in either setting up and executing a new virtual project, or in instituting improvements to a project that has drifted off course. Others have lived through the pain of learning lessons the hard way. You dont need to follow their path. The insights and solutions offered by Paul McMahon answer the questions virtual project leaders will be asking well into the 21st century.

As the entire Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference girds itself for the last epic weekend of road racing for the 2014 season, and looks to the start of the first full track racing season, there will be plenty of emotions abound— as there should be. Let's set aside the nostalgia of those with college in the rearview mirror as they drive into adulthood and the real world. ECCC '14 has been incredible in the sense that the conference made strides towards improving itself, from an open women's forum to improve the state of bike racing to official steps to include riders all across the board to race bikes on the weekend. Let's not forget the ECCC declaration of "2015: go big or go home-" the long term mission to solve some of the problems that plague the state of bike racing.
The state of bike racing. For the week after the Eastern Championships, getting on your bike for more pain and pleasure might be the furthest thing on your mind. Giving your body a rest after eight straight weekends of travel and competing notwithstanding, a lot of people will not think about racing bikes until next season. Then, starting at the November 2014 meeting, it will start all over again; the excitement at the upcoming season, the endless plans and preparation, the head scratching on how to improve the bike racing experience in the Northeast.
It is an incredibly hard thing to streamline and troubleshoot hosting major events for twenty schools with twenty different schedules in the Northeast during one of the most troublesome weather periods of the year- I can count the number of times I did not have to lather on layers or Embrocation for a race and weekends my team did not have some racing-related incident for this season on one hand. Despite all of the discomfort or frustration, I would not trade those experiences for anything. Invaluable bonding aside, those experiences are important lessons we all learn from to better ourselves for the future. Heck, call it 'stretching things' a bit, but arguably the skills you learned on and off the bike will be useful down the road. Probably the most valuable lesson I have ever on a bike is struggling during a race and telling myself, "Suck it up- everyone here is dealing with the exact same problems you are." Talk about epiphanies of a shared humanity while deep in the pain cave.
We can learn a lot from bikes, in and out of the race. Eight weekends is only so much time to take it all in and absorb as much as you can. Shame there's no other period of the year that has organized bike racing to participate in.
So, sarcasm aside. As a daring and relatively unfounded statement, here's a suggestion to everyone that wants to improve the biking experience in the saddle or behind the racing scene: get involved this summer. Go to Bikereg.com and sign up for some summer racing. Get involved with some biking community and see how they do things. Volunteer at a biking event, and appreciate just how much work race organizers do and more for us. Organize group rides, bring along someone new to biking and show them how great the sport can be. Have some amazing bike epiphany and write about it on the ECCC blogosphere. You put in this much time invested into collegiate bike racing, you certainly can afford a bit more to go hang out with other people on bikes.
If there is a 'cure-all' solution to improving the state of bike racing, it would be a pretty impressive one to tackle all of the usual problems; race organizers not going broke, creating a better pipeline to teach riders racing skills, addressing how latent sexism in a male-dominated culture hurts the state of bike racing. Yes, whether you like it or want to argue the semantics, these are problems that hinder the process of bike racing that we as a conference are trying to solve. Eight weekends is not enough time to observe and test new solutions. Strong racing ability and a better spring racing experience is something everyone can work on and realize during the summer. You can learn something new to use in your next ECCC or USAC bike race. Who knows, maybe from your summer experience you will realize the 'cure-all' solution to ECCC's "2015: go big or go home" challenge.
At the very least, enjoy camaraderie of being on the bike with others while not freezing in the March rain.

Can you tell I've been watching Seinfeld re-runs? Hahahaha! How about those Fishnet socks?
You wait long enough in the world of Fashion & everything comes around again right? I mean let's be frank here, no style is ever truly new is it? Take fishnet tights for example. Or "stockings" as they were originally worn back in the 1920's – The diamond-shaped netted hosiery have re-emerged many times over the decades, including Punk, Madonna & a little later the Grunge Gen.
So incredibly sexy & alluring, with the advent of pantyhose fishnets became the easy go to accessory for bad girls like me. Oh my how I cringe at the memory of my teeny tiny cut-off denim skirt & those flesh exposing black fishnets! Hard core…Sigh
How I wear my Fishnet tights now
Of course today Fishnets have become so mainstream they regularly feature in Designer runway shows! Although until recently it had been a while since we'd seen them in a modern fashion context. Todays outfit is clearly more subdued elegance than slutty party girl – She says with a knowingly grin
Inevitably the practical version of this new look is Fishnet socks which I absolutely adore! As a massive fan of wearing socks with all types of shoes in Winter (see here here & here) I'm completely on board. However because I loved wearing my Fishnets so much back in the 1980's, when they popped up again in early 2000 I decided to invest a little more money in the beautiful quality of Wolford. At this stage of my life I was a well-travelled career-minded Woman in her early 30's. My tastes had matured so I ditched the black for colour & they became a different kind of statement albeit still a rather sexy one…wink
Additionally I was well & truly shopping consciously making every purchase after careful consideration. I mean doesn't it make perfect sense that if you loved a look the first time you wore it you'd be back on the band wagon for its next incarnation? Naturally you wouldn't be able to do this with a cheap pair of Fishnets as those barely last more than a couple of wears. Unfortunately the harm to our environment from manufacturing & disposal lasts much longer. It's a no brainer really.
Therefore all my Wolford Fishnet tights are still in the cotton dust bag I kept them in 15 years ago! Red, cream, brown & this purple pair. There's absolutely no need for me to buy the popular sock version when I have ample to choose from already, besides they're so completely comfortable to wear under jeans I don't even notice I have them on! Mind you this stunning pair I just spotted in the Wolford sale could persuade me to add just one more to my collection. Darn you Blog post research!
Shop my Look
If the idea of what is essentially tights made of string leaves you cold (pun intended) you have to take a look at these beauties. Also half price in the Wolford sale are these sheer matt tights with a grid pattern that afford you the look of fishnets yet with the full coverage of regular tights.
Ladies remember to always wear sunscreen even in Winter. Mines in the Maybelline BB cream I'm wearing today so it's super easy. These fab sunnies are hand-made from 3.1 Philip Lim who is worth checking out for unique pieces.
Happy New Year You Gorgeous Lot!
Sadly Finally the children go back to school on Monday allowing me to get back to regular weekly posts HOO-RAH…
I have a few in the pipeline one of which is a Hair Tutorial for this braided bun I'm wearing today & another is the next Menopost – An update on the effects of HRT on me.
My next outfit idea is to pair Fishnet tights with a floral dress. I love the contradiction of feminism these two pieces represent – Although as you'd expect when I looked on Pinterest it'd already been done!
By for now, Mx

text: I got married through Bharatmatrimony, recently. I should say, the site helped me out in every possible way in finding a good spouse. Though i registered just six months prior to my wedding, i had a complete and thorough search. Though i came across many profiles and finalised upon my husband, i was very apprehensive about starting a new family and having a successful marriage. That was when the marriage counseling feature was started in BM. I made full use of it and learnt all the requirements of a successful marriage. I think BM has gone a step further in providing a complete matrimonial service. I strongly recommend Bharatmatrimony for people who are on the look out of a life partner.

Released August 31, 2016 (PDT)
- Fix for displaying all reporting data for collaborated sessions
- Backend change for former GoToAssist Express users
Bug Fixes
Fix for Displaying All Reporting Data for Collaborated Sessions
- A fix was implemented to ensure all reporting data is displayed for sessions that occurred where another agent joined the session (i.e., session collaboration). Previously, some reporting data (i.e., session ID and date) was displayed out of order for those sessions where collaboration took place. (GTARS-6269)
Backend Change for Former GoToAssist Express Users
- A backend change was implemented to add the ability for former GoToAssist Express users to select "Companies" from the reporting service. Previously, this feature was not available to GoToAssist Express account users as each account was maintained by 1 expert, thereby only having 1 company for reporting. (GTARS-6479)
- Note: GoToAssist Remote Support users are not affected by this backend change.

Ms. Momsen without the slap!!I am one of those relatively few people who adore her "racoon" eyemakeup look (when applied correctly) and in these pics it is absolute makeup perfection with fake lashes applied to both top & bottom.
And without a doubt though, this girl has a stunning smile!
And her full on ensemble.....
My only criticism is the lack of shape to her too-thin looking legs, though I do know that her natural frame has always been on the smaller side.
Either way, gorgeous makeup & outfit on a stunning girl.
What do you guys think??

Tryndamere Build Guide by Dragon4Athene
Not Updated For Current Season

Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Tryndamere 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.
This is how I and everyone should play Tryn. By the end of this build you will be doing 1400+ at almost a 100% crit rate. when you do that kind of dmg there is no needs to worry about defense. if you build him diffrently you are doing it wrong
Early game- tryn is really squishy and cant really harass at all. avoid conflicts unless you know you have a strong advantage and are going for the kill. his early game squishyness is why i unlike most guides recommend getting bloodlust at lvl 1 for the bit of healing use it often keep it on cd so long as you are not over healing. early game is very important for tryn. he needs to stay in a lane and stay alive getting gold and xp as fast as possible. if you get out lvled and out geard you will become useless and will be hard for you to catch up because they will probably be trying to gank you often if they are smart. final words on early game, avoid conflict and make sure you last hit minons!!!!
Mid game-tryn should start to be getting pretty strong hitting like 600s should be 2 shotting most minions by now. now is when you start to **** with the enemy team, talk with your team and set up ganks, catch lone enemy champs overextending. tryn is a great chaser if you can catch an enemy over extended you have a high chance of getting an easy kill. in ganks target the enemy with the lowest hp dont go after the tank (obvious right? apparently not going by how many ppl i see focusing tanks still even in the recent championships some pros got ****ed up for targeting a tank).
Late game- by now you should start noticing you are doing a bit more dmg than every1 els hehe. now you can start rocking the enemy. if you are playing right even groups of 3 enemys should be running from you by now and you should be able to kill at least 2 champs b4 your ult wares off. by lvl 18 and once you get all your items you should be able to kill nearly all 5 enemy champs. be careful with the occasional lag you might want to make sure you ult when you know you are still safe instead of try and wait for just b4 that very last blow, once you get to about 10% hp pop your ult and wait until its almost over b4 you pop your bloodlust heal. that heal if timed right has given me enough time to get me that last kill after my ult wore off. if you got the 2nd bloodrazor you will now be even better 1v1 than a fully geared Warwick w/o even using your ult.
Pros / Cons
PROS- you get to do 1600+per hit that should be enough right there for anybody but since you're greedy
-you have a guaranteed 5 seconds to rape as much face as possible. lets see you will have about a 1.5 attack speed 1.5x5=7.5 hits during undying rage, being low of hp your passive will make you at 100% crit so 7.5x1400=10500dmg you will be guaranteed during your ult this is not including the dmg you do b4 you pop your ult or the dmg you do after your ult is over if you manage to regen a bit of hp.
-great farmer can kill minions really fast and nearly take out an entire wave of them with 1 spinning slash
CONS- really squish early game untill you get your ult
-high chance of being the target of lots of ganks
-if you get harrased too much early game and dont lvl and get gold fast you will do poorly for most the game
-a well timed cc can prevent you from ulting and dying easily
if you get all the rues i say to your crits will do 50% more dmg plus infinity edge you will be doing 300% more crit dmg (for those of you who are slow, thats a lot of damage). just do it, get the crit dmg runes
Summoner Spells
this is where im kind of lenient,i wont say there is any perfect spells but my favorite for tryn is exhaust to make his chasing even better and ignite to finish off guys who just escape you. because try nhas low hp its not advisable to tower dive so if they are running to their tower you can ignite them and lol. it also makes a good harass early game so you are not so bad. ghost is ok but the enemy will probably reach a tower if you need ghost to catch them, id think its much better for tryn to slow them instead of out run them. teleport can be ok because mainly because tryn can kill towers fast so if you see a wave of your minons close to a tower you can port in and kill the tower easy. i think its cd is too long to be too effective. flash a lot of people like but i dont care for it kinda the same reason i dont care for ghost on this champ also you have spinning slash to hop walls. any other spell is kinda garbage for tryn.
