As a graduate of Tech, I feel justified in asking: when did Tech forget that it was started for the common folks of West Texas? Probably about the time we stopped making fun of the "elitism" at Texas and A&M and started wanting to be like them. But where does that leave the folks Tech was put here for?

Good cleanser, horrible smell
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jul 30, 2014 | Verified Purchase
This is a good cleanser that leaves your skin clean and supple. It takes off my foundation completely without leaving my face dry and taut. iHerb's price makes it an even better deal. The only reason I will not repurchase is the awful fragrance. The fragrance is way too strong and it smells like cheap cologne. I hate the way the awful scent lingers around my lips after I've rinsed off the cleanser.

Most of us who own Apple devices have already upgraded to iOS 9, but we can't forget the latest OS version for Macs, dubbed OS X 10.11 El Capitan, said to be more tightly intertwined with mobile than ever before. Apple drop kicks a new OS X update so often it's been hard to keep up, and the company's determination to refine the software is no small feat. Apparently El Capitan isn't as "pretty" as previous upgrades (there's nothing wrong with subtlety), but many features have been added to boost productivity: like enhanced search functions, organization tools, and more. A nice, fast, upgraded operating system is truly important for the average OS X user, who relies on smooth running software in order to get their work done.
El Capitan doesn't work on all Mac devices, so don't get your hopes up if your computer/laptop dates back more than 8 years (that's just the universe telling you to upgrade, anyway). It's basically the next step up for anyone running Yosemite, Mavericks, or Mountain Lion. Speaking of Mountain Lion, that and Snow Leapord (anyone remember Snow Leapord?), were known as some of the best system upgrades in the history of Apple's OS X. Apple is hoping to follow the epitome of refinements these versions were known for, providing a lot of the same key features in efficiency. Of the three main items discussed on PC Mag, the first includes a Split Screen View that automatically adjusts to equal sized windows without fiddling with each one until they're perfect (finally!). The second involves a more relaxed relationship with Apple's Spotlight Search bar, which now allows a more natural language, such as "emails from mom" or "videos uploaded last month", as sufficient search phrases. Finally, is a feature set to steal my own heart- the ability to make those pop-up videos silenced! Most of us know what it's like to have several tabs open and spontaneously hear an unwarranted video start playing. Now, although Apple can't keep the websites from doing that, El Capitan can enable a mute button specifically made to stomp out the unwanted sound.
Other notable items in the OS update include some subtle changes in the interface, a few tricks in the Notes app, some drop-down menus in Safari, Mail and Maps becoming integrated into the rest of the OS, as well as a better connection between mobile and laptop. In El Capitan, Apple's efforts to tighten up overall performance can only be entertained by using it (and a million volunteer beta testers vouch for it). It's not hard to see that everything is faster- faster running, and faster to launch. Not to mention, if you're updating from Yosemite, the transition should be the simplest (everything you are used to will work slightly faster, slightly better). Most won't want to skip this update, as it involves both a more stable working environment for Apple users, and new features for the most-used default apps.

Evelynn Build Guide by rickyrascal
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.
Evelynn 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.
Eve is a stealthed assasin champion. She can be played in a number of ways including AP/Hybrid/AD. This build will focus on AP eve as I have had great sucsess playing her this way.
I strongly feel that she has amazing mid lane potential and Im yet to find anyone who can beat her mid. (Bold statment) but I have not lost a single ranked or Draft game that I play eve mid.
She has a ton of burst , great ability to dodge skill shots and with some smart play can out harras most champions.
This build will focus on Eve mid , and AP eve jungle. AP Jungle eve in my opinion is harder to play than AD jungle eve due to lack of life steal and basic attack damage. However the ganks from AP eve are far superior than that of an AD build.
Pros and Cons to AP eve
Great burst damage
Spamable Q spell while chasing or running away
Ultimate does a ton of damage and gives you a sheild - Great for turret dives
W spell will help you avade most ganks against you
Stealth great for scouting
Easy to backdoor as eve
Farm like a boss with your Q spell
Can dodge skill shots easily and close the gap on champs like gragas / morgana
Very squishy early game
A bad start can leave you unable to catch up
Pink wards can be a nightmare for you
Heavy CC champions can cause alot of problems
Lee Sin can really piss you off
Runes for eve are pretty basic.
My Personal Choice:
These are my first choice of runes , I build eve to deal enough damage to get kills and lay down insane burst in team fights. However I do like a bit of survivability.
These are some other optional runes for people who wish to be a bit more of a glass cannon.
Greater Seal of Vitality
Eves Masteries are pretty basic.
I take 21-9-0Picking up the basic caster choices in the offencive tree. In the defence tree I put more priority on and as this helps against the AP casters you often face in mid.
If I am playing AP eve in the Jungle I only take 1 point in and put the full 3 points on to help survive the minion camps and also give me a bit more defence against the enemy AD carry when ganking bot.
Summoner Spells
Here I will break down my choices for summon spells and a little bit of info on why I take them.
My Pick:
I take this spell becuase combined with my ultimate + DFG + Ignite most champions are a free kill. This works so well with Eves burst I always pick this when playing AP eve
Great to initiate or escape a fight , combined with your W spell you pretty much have a free escape from most fights , or the ability to tower dive with your ultimate even better.
Other Choices:
Works really well on eve , can slow a determined champion like singed. Or help you chase someone down. I find this works better on AD eve where AP eve has enough burst to kill people asoon as they see you apear. Good choice for people wanting a bit more saftey and can really help when running after someone spamming your Hate Spike.
This could mean the diffrence between winning a 1v1 and loosing it. However I feel that if you have droped all your burst as AP eve and they are still standing you are pretty much dead anyways. I personaly dont reccomend this on eve. However an Eve rolling Heal + Exhaust could be pretty dam hard to kill.
I have seen eve players use this , I understand why as Eve is very mana hungry expeshally when jungleing. However the fact she regains 1% of her mana per second while stealthed makes this a waste of a summoner spell. If your low on mana just run around stealthed for a bit and you will soon have enough for that next gank.
I would rather put a phillo stone on eve than use this spell.
This spell is actually pretty good. I would consider this on Hybrid eve but on a pure AP eve build I dont find it that usefull. Works very well with your spell so this is a maybe from me.
AP Mid Items
Here I will list the builds I use for Eve and why.
AP Eve Mid
Start Items
and 3X
This start will let you avoid skillshots from the enemy mid , help you avade an early gank and give you the mobility to quickly rush top or bot lane once you push your mid lane to the turret.
Starting with a Doran's will give you more health , a bit more burst and some mana regen. A good starting item but this will cost you the ability to gank top/bot early and could stop you avoiding an early mid gank. I would only recomend taking this if you really feel you cant push your mid lane from level 1.
First Recall
On your first recall if youve just been pushing your lane and have not been able to gank you should be coming back to lane with Kage's Lucky Pick.
If you have had some sucsessfull ganks and got that extra gold come back to lane with Kage's Lucky Pick and
Mid Game
When playing eve Mid I dont wait for my Kage to stack too much gold. I upgrade it into a as soon as possible. This item will be a massive addition to your burst potential with your Ultimate + Ignite
If you are easily winning then come back to lane with
and start building your
If you are sturgleing and not gaining gold too fast then come back with.
& &
This will give you more health and also more busrt damage. Ontop of this you will have increased mana regen and able to hold your lane longer.
Late Game:
My Final build looks like this:
Sorcere's Shoes Guardian's Angel
This gives me a ton of burst damage. Loads of Magic Pen , decent magic resist and armour and if I do for some reason fail to escape a team fight , my GA could keep me from giving them a kill.
AP Jungle Items
Eve Jungle Build and Why
AP Eve Jungle
Start Items
and 3x
This will give you early mobility for a fast gank on top lane.
First Recall
If you have managed to secure some kills from ganks upgrade your boots to either
If you want more burst damage. Or if you want to be able to move around the map and gank faster. I personaly take Sorcerers shoes as I have mobility quints and my W spell helps me navigate the map fast enough. Also becuase I dont always take when jungleing this gives me the extra magic penatration needed when ganking.
You want to be ready for the big team fights that are about to take place. Idealy you want to have atleast your boots + &
This will give you a big jump in burst damage and the sheen works well with your spell. Anything more than this is a bonus!
Late Game
You should atleast have the following: & & This will give you a ton of burst , the ability to 1v1 most people and the extra slow from the Gunblade to help you chase down enemys.
Final Items
If the game gets that far you can pick up any of the following final items.
Guardian's Angel For extra survivability
If you really need more damage , you shouldnt need it ! but why not aye ?
Why not lower the enemys magic resist if you took sorcerers shoes. Or if you took mobility boots pick up a void staff for more magic pen.
Jungle Tactics
Ok so AP eve cant clear the jungle quite as fast as AD eve does. However the ganking power makes up for this massivly. This is the jungle route I use when playing AP jungle.
Blue Buff [Get a strong pull as this will help loads]
Early Gank Oppertunity on top lane / mid
Double Golloms
Gank Bot
Use this to get behind your enemy before ganking.
Always make sure your lane knows your coming to gank.
Once you have your first item buy an early Oracle's Elixer and start to deward. This will keep map control for your team , stopping the enemy support warding drake is a great way to make the enemy bottom lane fear your constant ganks.
Pink wards are evil ! make sure you deward them or your stealth will be useless.
I will add more to this section later , however the key to playing a good jungle eve is being agressive and ganking every time the enemy lane pushes and over extends
REMEMBER : Green wards are useless against you , walk right over them and they still wont know you are coming. Making ganks easier early game.
Ok so im pretty new to making guides. Still trying to master changing the sizes of icons ect. Any feedback would be appreciated and I will be working hard to update this guide. Please if you find this guide helpfull give it a thumbs up to help motivate me to keep making guides :D yay!

In the Christian Church, the role of professional clergy (pastor, priest, etc.) is antiquated, cumbersome, and ineffective in the world in which we live. The concept of professional clergy setting certain people "apart"to do ministry, or as the ones who know more about connecting with God, or that which is sacred in the world is

If this is production, I would try to hold off for a week or two until fixpak 8 is available. Otherwise I would use 6a.M. A. Feldman

Write1Sub1 Week #11 Check In
Successes and failures, triumphs and disasters, brilliant ideas and insane dreams: we want to read all about them!
29 comments:
Hmmm ... feels like a failure of a week although it probably isn't - for a start I've written 9800 of Bridie 5, which is good although it doesn't count here. 1 rejection from Pigeon Bike, 1 submitted but not yet accepted to Scribble Scatter, four T10 instalments of a story which is now up to 4000 words and a 150 piece for Book Blurb Friday.ReplyDelete
I've got into a bit of a rhythm with the short fiction : this week I polished and submitted fantasy short The Library at the Centre of the World from last week and wrote/drafted another fantasy short - Lord Gryphon's Design - for submitting next week.ReplyDelete
Matt: Welcome! Excellent progress so far.ReplyDelete
Spaced: Cool! Give us the market link, and we'll add you to the Hall of Fame.
Sandra: You are one busy writer.
Simon: Very nice.
As for me, week 11 had its ups and downs. I wanted to write a weird western for the Pill Hill Press Anthology How the West Was Wicked, but it took longer than I'd hoped--and frustrated the heck out of me about halfway through. In the end, I finished it @ 5,700 words, polished it up, and submitted it. And I even like it!ReplyDelete
W1S1 Acceptances: 2 microfiction pieces by Cuento, 3 haiku by Scifaikuest, and 8 haiku by Blackdahlia.
Write on, everybody!
*le gasp* . . . 13 acceptances, Milo? Incredible. Congratulations.ReplyDelete
I got 2 from Trapeze, and managed to get a story out to the Mammoth Book of Steampunk. Plus am doing a new 5-hour story experiment which is proving interesting. Also getting a bit distracted by trying to work out what literary SF is, as a prelude to writing some. Brackets away.
Hall of Fame updated; Trapeze and Scifaikuest are tied for the most W1S1 acceptances! Would the 5-hour experiment involve writing a complete story from start to finish? =]ReplyDelete
Oooh. Everyone's been busy. Awesome. :)ReplyDelete
Here's my stats for this week.
Wrote: 2 - a short story (The Dragonwife) and a Twit fic (This Ain't AA).
Edited: 3 - short stories (Ice, Insomnia, The Hardest Kiss)
Submitted: 6 - three short stories (Ice, The Hardest Kiss, Pixie Dust) and three Twit fic (Dumped, Kink, Bugs)
Accepted: 1 (Kink @ One-forty Fiction)
At this rate the rejections, I mean, the acceptances should start rolling in any day. Right? ;)
Yes indeed! Hall of Fame updated.ReplyDelete
I managed to keep writing this week, though I'm still not getting enough done on the longer stories I need to finish. One key clack after another, I guess.ReplyDelete
W1: "Neighborhood Watch" (all dialogue flash); "Another Saturday Night" (flash)
S1: flash to Jersey Devil Press; flash to Eschatology; flash to Foundling Review; short story to Fix It Broken; flash to Emprise Review; flash to Caper Literary Journal.
Accepts: flash by Eclectic Flash
Pub: None this week
Congrats, everyone, on the acceptances!ReplyDelete
I've felt buried this week, but did manage to write two twitter fictions, sub four twitter fictions, and have 2 accepted by Cuento.
And on to week 12!
I wrote and submitted a short horror story (1,600 words) and also wrote and sent in my first twitter story.ReplyDelete
Trapeze published my Week 2 haiku yesterday :DReplyDelete
Cuento accepted last week's microfiction "Generations"
Trapeze accepted a microfiction "Delete" (written earlier this week)
Also wrote and submitted a 630 word flash fiction "A Box with Seven Lids" to Weirdyear - awaiting a response.
Congrats to Ellie for the ePocalypse acceptance from Pill Hill.
Wow, a lot acceptances this week, congratulations.ReplyDelete
Milo, my experiment is a five hour story (about 3K)from start to finish, including research. That's very fast for me. Might be slow for some people.
I'm always trying new ways of working. Abandoned two, one story subbed, and one in progress at the moment.
Wow. Lots of acceptances this week. Congratulations everyone! I have three to report myself. All to Scifaikuest. One scifaiku, one haibun and one senryu. Maybe that will push Scifaikuest into the lead.ReplyDelete
Made it about halfway through a story that stalled in the middle. So I cracked out a piece of flash. I submitted the story I wrote last week and another one to an anthology.
Sent my only completed novel in to a contest, and finally finished a short story that took a week too long to write. Most frustrating story of the year so far, and definitely needs a rewrite before it goes anywhere.ReplyDelete
Still behind in writing and submissions, but still plugging along as usual. Got a few rejections. But I love how all my friends are starting to leave writing quotes and things like that on my Facebook wall!
Wah! I got a story started last week, but I'm still working on it. And by working on it, I mean sitting around and wishing it were already written.ReplyDelete
I'm determined to get my week 8 story finished and polished, which will mean I've got everything submitted that I've written. Right now I've got 20 submissions out there, which is an all time record for me!
Steve: We salute you, Flash Master; Hall of Fame updated.ReplyDelete
A.S.: Onward and upward; Hall of Fame updated.
Nathaniel: Nicely done.
Dominic: Congrats; Hall of Fame updated.
Eric: Well played, sir; Hall of Fame updated.
Sparklecat: That's got to be encouraging!
Nicole: Keep up the good work.
Beth: AWESOME NEWS!
Wrote "Voices from the Dark" which, at 2250 words is the longest I've written so far this year, and submitted the same to Chiaroscuro.ReplyDelete
Also, congratulations, Beth! That's awesome.
Andrew: Great to have Chiaroscuro as an option again, isn't it?ReplyDelete
Ellie: The ebb and flow of it all -- two rejections were waiting in my inbox this morning. Keep up the good work!
This week I found out I had been longlisted in a flash fiction competition. It was my first listing so I'm really pleased with it.ReplyDelete
Great idea, people, thanks for setting this up! I've just joined up-- sent here by somebody on Absolute Write when I posted that I wanted to take the Bradbury Challenge. For starters I'm just aiming to do every week till Easter. I started last Wednesday, finished my first story on Saturday, started another yesterday. I won't be sending them out right away, but that first one surprised me-- I don't think it'll take much to polish it into publishable shape!ReplyDelete
Welcome, Donna; glad to have you on board.ReplyDelete
Wrote two stories, submitted one :)ReplyDelete
This week is all about dragging old stories out of the dust, polishing and submitting. Collecting rejections is what it's all about for me now :)
Plenty of those to go around, I'm afraid. Never give up, never surrender!ReplyDelete

First up is the mystic fortune teller!
I hadn't seen many people create this look before I posted it on my YouTube channel so it's a good one if you want to be a little different from the Harley Quinn's that will most likely be parading the streets!
You can watch the full tutorial above but I used a selection of high street and high end products to really build up that demented, mystical look.
Really hope you enjoy it, be sure to tweet/instagram me a picture if you try it yourself!
What are you doing this Halloween?

Olli Trailer (2013)
The story is about Vishnu, a geologist and his wife, Sumathi, a teacher. They have been married for the past seven years but have not been gifted with a child. Things change once Vishnu falls while carrying out his work in a cave. He then sees a bright ray of light. Since that day he experiences strange incidents around him and his wife. An old man who appears to know what is happening, passes Sumathi a book, telling her to read it and to be careful. It looks like Vishnu and Sumathi are targeted by beings from outer space.

(JNS.org) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cautioned world powers not to rush into a bad deal with Iran on its nuclear program amid reports that the P5+1 nations—the U.S., U.K., France, Russia, China, and Germany—are nearing a negotiated solution with Iran ahead of the Nov. 24 diplomatic deadline.
Netanyahu said in a statement that he sent a letter to the P5+1 countries that highlights Iran's desire to destroy Israel.
"[Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is] publicly calling for the annihilation of Israel as he is negotiating a nuclear deal with the P5+1 countries," Netanyahu said.
"There is no moderation in Iran," he added. "It is unrepentant, unreformed, it calls for Israel's eradication, it promotes international terrorism, and as the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) report just said, it continues to deceive the international community about its nuclear weapons program. This terrorist regime in Iran must not be allowed to become a nuclear threshold power. I call on the P5+1 countries—don't rush into a deal that would let Iran rush to the bomb."
Last week, the IAEA said that its investigation into the potential weaponization of Iran's nuclear program has stalled due to the Islamic Republic's refusal to cooperate with the probe. President Barack Obama, meanwhile, sent a letter to Khamenei in mid-October expressing the countries' shared interest in the fight against Islamic State jihadists in Syria and Iraq.

Gun control laws don't work
Sirs, we need outlaw control, and start with life sentences for crimes with guns or knives. No exceptions. Gun laws don't work; the FOID card proves, too, that only the honest have them.
It's past time to go after the lawbreakers. Leave us honest gun owners alone.
P.S. — The gangs never show up and disrupt youth shoots. Why do you think that is? They don't like a fair game?
