A Donner Party3 Nov, 2006 By: John Latchem
Two versions of Superman II hit DVD Nov. 28.
The next great geek debate is about to begin.
The cast and crew of Superman II gathered at the Directors Guild of America building in Hollywood Nov. 2 for the world premiere of Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut. The new cut of the 1980 film incorporates unused footage shot by Donner before he left the production, presenting an alternate version of a movie beloved by many Superman fans that is sure to set off heated discussions when Warner Home Video releases the DVD Nov. 28.
"I think this is such a better version of Superman II," said actress Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane. "It's night and day."
Those differences were the focus of a panel discussion involving Kidder, director Donner, writer Tom Mankiewicz, editor Michael Thau, and actors Marc McClure (Jimmy Olson), Sarah Douglas (Ursa) and Jack O'Halloran (Non). All praised the film's Superman, the late Christopher Reeve.
Ilya Salkind, who served as executive producer on the first three "Superman" films, was not part of the panel (and curiously was not mentioned at all by any of the panelists), although he was in attendance at the screening. Salkind and producer Pierre Spengler provide commentary on the upcoming special-edition DVD for the theatrical version of Superman II, also due Nov. 28.
As originally conceived, the first two "Superman" films told a single story, based on Godfather scribe Mario Puzo's script, which had been rewritten by Mankiewicz, who was given a creative-consultant credit. The first two films were shot concurrently, and Donner had 70% of Superman II in the can when the first movie hit theaters in 1978.
"I didn't get along with the producers at all," Donner said. "I banned them from the set. I had been paid for the whole job, so it didn't make any difference to me. I always say if the picture had been a failure, they would have brought me back to finish the second one. But it was a success, so they fired me."
Salkind paints a different picture. "If the first movie had been a failure, there wouldn't have been a second one," he said. He and Spengler in their commentary recount Donner being invited back to finish Superman II. When Donner demanded total control over the film — including the removal of Spengler — Salkind and his father, executive producer Alexander Salkind, let Donner go.
After Donner left the production, director Richard Lester re-shot much of the footage so as to claim more than 50% of the picture, per DGA rules.
"They threw out most of our scenes and rewrote them, but without the panache Mank had written," Kidder said. "Chris and I were really pissed off. He was a little more political about it."
Kidder described an interview she gave to Time Out magazine in which she described her feelings about Donner leaving.
"I said the producers were beneath contempt, which they printed," Kidder said. "I ended up having 12 lines in Superman III."
Much of the unused footage from the theatrical Superman II has been floating around for years, appearing in a number of television cuts of the film, especially in Europe, and online. The Mankiewicz script also has circulated among fans, who for years have attempted to piece together an unofficial Donner cut as an experiment to see the movie as it might have been.
Thau, after working with Donner on a director's cut of the original Superman for DVD in 2001, took on the task of creating the definitive Donner cut of Superman II.
"No one knew what Dick had shot that was still in the vault," Thau said. "So we did some digging. It took a long time to look though the six tons of material we brought back from England. We started slowly building this cut based on Tom's original shooting script."
The basic plot structure of the two versions is relatively the same. The Donner cut restores scenes shot by Marlon Brando as Superman's Kryptonian father, Jor-El, which were cut from the theatrical version after a contract dispute. His lines were re-shot with actress Susannah York as Superman's mother.
"It was a story of a father and a son, and it became the story of a mother and a son," Donner said.
"It didn't make any sense," Mankiewicz said.
To Salkind, the switch was easy to justify because the story of the second film focused more on the love story between Lois and Clark, which made the mother a natural fit.
Salkind said that while he enjoyed the new cut, many of the new scenes were takes the filmmakers never intended to use when the film was being shot.
He agreed there was just something about Reeve that made him the perfect Superman, and praised Donner's direction on the first film, saying it wouldn't have been a success without him. But, Salkind took exception to the idea that the best footage wasn't used the first time around, a few slapstick jokes aside.
"We were constantly re-writing the film, even then," said Salkind, who argues the humor in Superman II is consistent with the last third of the original movie.
Ironically, Donner was not the first choice to direct the original Superman. Guy Hamilton, a stalwart of the "James Bond" films and the director of Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever, had been tapped for the job, but had to drop out because of tax reasons.
Looking back, Mankiewicz said Hamilton, with whom he had worked on four "Bond" pictures, had a cynicism that made him less than ideal for directing Superman. Mankiewicz and Kidder both criticized Lester for having that same cynicism and injecting it into the movie.
"Richard Lester was not the right director for this material at all," Kidder said. "There's a lot of love that's missing. I think there's a warmth in this new version."
"The only way to direct these films is to get inside the material," Mankiewicz said. "[Donner and I] each had a sign in our office that said 'Verisimilitude.' We had to do this as if it were real."
That's why the first line in the original film (after the prologue) is Brando stating "This is no fantasy."
"We have I guy with an 'S' on his chest, so of course it's not real," Mankiewicz said. "But we wrote it as real."
Donner praised Mankiewicz's efforts to ground the screenplay in a real-world setting, saying the original script for the two films, at 500 pages, had a lot of "tasteless" jokes in it.
"In one scene, Superman was looking for Lex Luthor, and he's flying over Metropolis, and he sees a bald guy and flies down and taps him on the shoulder," Donner said. "And it's Telly Savalas, and he turns and says, 'Who loves you baby!' like he was Kojak!"

Does true love really exist?

Review of "Does true love really exist?"
"Unconditional Love!!"
Does true love exist? ABSO-BLOODY.LUTELY!!!
I admit to being in love on 3 occasions. Firstly there was my first serious boyfriend, Daniel with whom I was infatuated as only a 16 year old can be. My second true love started when I was 12 (so I suppose was my 1st love) but I didn't see him again until my 19th birthday. We met on holiday (he was 17!!), wrote for 6 years and then met up just after my 19th birthday. Got engaged and split up 3 months before the wedding.
Then there was the third time I fell in love (and continue so to be) my now husband.
But that's not the love I'm describing here. I'm talking about the true love a 30 year old woman feels for her baby daughter. The love that started way before anyone else could even know she was there and progressed through 9 months of vomit, nausea, heart burn and various blood tests. From the first glimpse of her shooting across the scan screen I knew we would get on famously. This child had MY personality and was going to be another version of me. Perhaps even better than I am.
On 18th December last year the child I would already have died for came into this world. I never knew that I could feel such overwhelming love for another person. But there she was. The person who could make me laugh and cry just by looking at me. The one who brightened my day by pooing a fountain of poo all over me. The one I fight my husband every day to get the first glimpse of. And the one who is going to cause me more heartache than any of my previous true loves.
Would I trade it in to spare myself that inevitable heartache? NEVER! I would die for this child. I will fight every day of my life to ensure she is happy. I will put myself last for her. I will spend the rest of my life loving her no matter what she does.
My definition of true love can be summed up in one word........

Don't forget to go green next Monday the 17th for St. Patrick's
Day! And when I say "Go Green!" I'm not just talking about your
underwear or tie. I mean "Go Green or Go Home!"
Print out your invoices, bills, receipts, memos or meeting
agendas on green paper, add green dye to your coffee, write with a green
pen, dye your hair green, dye your boss's hair green, bring your
iguana to work (there really should be an official "Bring Your Iguana to
Work" Day), have an "all-you-can-eat-celery buffet, wear green Vulcan
ears, paint your clown nose green, paint your office green, sod your
office wall-to-wall, or go golfing for the day (for those of you
fortunate enough to be able to find grass).
And failing that, if you want to stand out from the herd a tad,
send a Happy St. Patrick's Day card to your clients there's
very little chance it will get lost amongst the other cards!

40. Alvise Sagredo, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Doge and Senate.
The letters from England this week speak diversely upon the question of a rupture or an accommodation with the Dutch. In general since the arrival and the reports made by the Resident Douningh about the differences in question, it was announced that the king, to obtain the satisfaction that is due, cannot do less than move first with an intimation and then by force, and in this connection there is to note not so much the animosity and inclination of the people, as the orders which continue with all solicitude for preparing a number of ships of war and the royal proclamation recalling to the service of the crown all the ships, sailors and military men who are in foreign countries, although it was published under the pretext of the late accidents at Tanger. Thus with the appointment of the Palatine Prince Rupert, brother of the Elector, to be general of the English fleet, it would seem that everything points in the direction of war, repugnant as this is to the general interests of Christendom and most pernicious.
On the other hand, that is to say by private letters, we have heard that the assurance brought by Douningh to the king that the States are disposed to give satisfaction to the English merchants on the two principal points, namely in leaving their trade free on the coasts of Malabar and Guinea, and to appoint commissioners immediately by virtue of the last treaty to make a reasonable settlement with regard to the other claims for losses which have been made, since it is certain that the chief ones adduced about the two ships Good Hope and Henry Bonaventura are unjust. Further that they are ready in any case to refer the whole question to the equity of King Charles himself, who well knows the practice of the States in other matters in giving satisfaction to his Majesty, who cannot now give way to the various passions of the merchants interested.
The conclusion is that with strong reasons gaming ground and with increased offers on the part of Holland, with the king's inclination steadily growing weaker and for the convenience of his treasury, it is thought, as indeed has appeared for a week past, that the matter will calm down by negotiation and the differences likewise.
In any case the Dutch are prepared for all emergencies. They have given the command of their fleet to Admiral Opdam, and for this they have put at his disposal a powerful vessel of seventy-two bronze guns and a complement of 375 men. (fn. 1) This will be followed by eighteen others also armed for war, to go to meet the fleet which is expected from the East Indies with great wealth.
At the same time they have sent four companies of the guard to the fortress on the island of Bril, where fourteen other companies are in garrison which were sent there before, since they are reasonably anxious about that place, which was surprised by the English on another similar occasion. Similarly they do not linger over the equipment of another and more considerable fleet, which will be commanded by the Baron di Vassenhaer, to put them in a position to resist any attack. But with the arrival of the Dutch ambassador who left the Hague for London on the 17th it is thought that the desired adjustment will come about.
Lord Inchequin who is at present in command of the English troops in Portugal, is destined to succeed the late Earl of Tiviot as governor of Tanger. It is confirmed that the latter was surprised by the Moorish cavalry and slain with 300 men of the garrison.

41. Giovanni Battista Ballarino, Venetian Grand Chancellor at the Porte, to the Doge and Senate.
I have informed the English ambassador of the Senate's decree for the release of the tin and steel that were detained. My letter was sent to his villa where, for most of the time, he is staying. I will certainly give him no occasion for offence, but try to cultivate his goodwill. The English merchants declare quite openly that from this time forth the despatch of steel by ship to Smyrna and to Constantinople will be much more copious and frequent than it has been hitherto.

42. Alvise Sagredo, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Doge and Senate.
What I have said before about the time necessary for my advertisements to reach the Senate applies more particularly to the account of the affairs of England, since it is well known that letters sent straight from thence to Venice arrive at least a week sooner by Antwerp than by Paris.
What I now have to say is that Signor di Goch having arrived in London in the capacity of ambassador extraordinary of the States, having had a private conference with King Charles, and from him, after Colonel Kilgrey who preceded him, a person highly esteemed by his Britannic Majesty, he had learned in addition of the good offices which had been performed by the Resident Douningh, it was hoped, beyond a doubt, that the difficulties between that crown and the republic of Holland would be steadily taking a better turn towards an adjustment. It is true that King Charles had equipped seventeen ships of war at Portsmouth, and raised 100,000l. sterling at six per cent, from the companies of merchants with the assent of the council of the city of London, which undertook to pledge itself for both the interest and the capital advanced. Also that the Dutch on their side were constantly strengthening themselves at sea, as in addition to the fleet sent to meet the ships of the East India Company which are expected, they have despatched six other armed ships to assist their herring fishery at the far end of England. Yet in spite of all these preparations and precautions, on one side and the other, continued without intermission, it is, as I have said, very confidently expected that peace will very speedily be concluded to the satisfaction of both parties.
On the other hand we have heard something to arouse the dissatisfaction of the Dutch, namely the confirmation of the capture of Cape Verde (fn. 2) and of the violence which the English ships have done to the merchants of Holland on the coast of Guinea, so that without mixing oldstanding grievances with the present incidents, the States have sent an extraordinary courier to their ambassador in London, so that he may make a remonstrance about it, but also to compound everything so that there may be security for greater quiet in the future.
Your Serenity should know that the English proceed in exactly the same manner in the Indies against the Spaniards, since despite the protests and commands of King Charles directed to all his ships of Jamaica, they have taken three Spanish ships which were coming from the island of Cuba, that is to say, two were sunk and the third carried as a prize to Jamaica.
Two companies of the old infantry and 300 men of the king's own guards were destined for Tanger, and the Duke of York himself had asked for the governorship of the place, with an offer that Colonel Fitzgerard and Colonel Norvod might act alternatively as his lieutenants, as a charge not only compatible with the office of Lord High Admiral which his Highness holds but as an action worthy of the high spirit of the English, to avenge the death of the Earl of Tiviot, so treacherously brought about by Prince Gayland, and with this despatch they will join a certain amount of money to console that distressed garrison.
Letters of the Hague of the 28th relate that the corsairs of Algiers were awaiting with impatience the other fleet of Holland commanded by Vice-Admiral de Ruyter, which has already reached Cadiz, in the persuasion that they will arrange with him a fresh treaty of peace, to which end they have put aside all the slaves of that nation. If the corsairs promise on somewhat better security not to search the merchant ships, the States are disposed to make an accommodation. Under the present circumstances it is exceedingly undesirable that this should happen.
Moret, the 8th July, 1664.
|July 8.
43. Alvise Sagredo, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Doge and Senate.
The affair of England with Holland is taking a different turn this week from what appearances have hitherto suggested, and the Ambassador Borel who is still indisposed at Paris, has sent his secretary to impart to the Court what is happening, with the object principally of justifying the decisions which the States will be bound to take in any event. In conformity with this the secretary came to see me the day before yesterday and left me the enclosed papers which set forth the whole of their side of the case. In addition to this, the secretary, who is a very capable and discreet person, showed me, as a matter of confidence, a letter of the 24th June written by the States themselves to King Charles upon the matter of the taking of Capoverde and of the injuries inflicted by the English on the coasts of Guinea to the merchant ships and others of the companies of Holland. In this letter they declare, first that all their armaments are intended for nothing except to preserve their own safety and the liberty of their states, rights and subjects. It is not directed in the smallest way against England, either directly or indirectly, or to prejudice the observance of the three last treaties of peace with those realms, arranged in the years 1654, 1659 and 1662. The States further declare that it has never been their intention to obstruct or injure navigation in any way or of any sort, or to interfere with the well merited advantage of the crown. They repeat the necessity for them to secure the important Eastern fleet which their company is expecting at this moment, to protect the continuation of trade with their ships without prejudice to the English and the maintenance of the poor herring fishermen in unarmed boats scattered in several places.
In all this narrative and justification I notice that they refrain from giving the smallest possible offence to the king; but at the end of the letter they express themselves with great firmness. It concludes that if King Charles does not afford the States satisfaction, reparation and restitution for the last affair of Capoverde and the injuries at Guinea, with an adequate reply and a definite decision adequate to the case, the acts aforesaid will be interpreted as acts of hostility, and in such case they will consider themselves compelled to behave in a like manner at sea, to procure just redress for their claims, which has been denied them.
I thanked the secretary for this communication and confidence. I told him that this is certainly not the moment to proceed to a rupture, because we see that the common enemy, counting solely on the divisions among the Christians, aspires to absolute monarchy. To this the secretary replied that the ambassador has heard of the affair of the Turk with the strongest feelings, but at the present moment the States possess over a hundred ships of war and they know that their modesty shown in the time of Cromwell, increases the pretensions of the present time. Accordingly to show that they are not short of money either, in two days only the state exchequer has found, at interest at three per cent., a million of francs from the principal merchants of Amsterdam, although every one sees that they have not the smallest imaginable need for this money, but it is merely done to show the ease of the operation and the forwardness of the people.
The secretary told me in addition that as the States cannot trust the word of the Barbareschi for the purpose of coming to a new composition with them, they would be glad for the present difficulties with England to cease, fomented as they are by pressure from Denmark, for the reasons which I gave to your Serenity last week, because, as he says, so many armaments cannot be turned at the moment to anything else than the total destruction of the corsairs in the Mediterranean.
Moret, the 8th July, 1664.
|July 15.
44. Alvise Sagredo, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Doge and Senate.
I learn that the ambassador of the States in London had a special audience of King Charles in which his Majesty declared it was his royal inclination and will to be well satisfied with the arguments adduced; but with regard to the complaints of his own subjects against the companies of the two Indies, they had resolved in the Council not to do anything to encourage them by way of a rupture, though he could not refuse them assistance and protection until they received compensation. He regretted to see that while not a single warship was being armed in his dominions for this cause, he had just reason for astonishment if not for alarm in seeing that the Dutch were arming themselves with so many fleets and with such urgent orders to hasten their equipment. It was easy to see that this was not the right way to listen to his Majesty's requests and offices for the relief of his oppressed merchants, or a willingness to correspond to what justice required.
The ambassador on his side has not failed to soothe all discussions, and this has been his chief object and aim. As he has since been to audience of the Duke of York and has also seen the Lord Chancellor, who have always shown signs of an inclination to peace, it is hoped that in the end this will ensue, with the future quiet and concord of the nations. For this reason it is thought that the Dutch may directly have to submit to some outlay of money, principally in order that the important benefit of the fishery may not be contested in the future.
In any case, however, King Charles had ordered the Earl of Sandwich, admiral at sea, to proceed to the Downs to take command of the fleet, which was all ready there, consisting of twenty-two warships. In the same way, the Dutch in addition to the four fleets which they have at sea, namely two in the Mediterranean under Vice-Admirals Mepel and Ruiter; one under Admiral Tromp to meet the rich ships of the East India Company and the fourth sent to defend their herring fishermen, were hastening the despatch of a fifth fleet commanded by the Grand Admiral Opdam or the Baron of Vasseneur, to proceed wherever it may be most needed.
Moret, the 15th July, 1664.
|July 22.
45. Alvise Sagredo, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Doge and Senate.
Letters from London of the 8th inst. report the king's desire to settle amicably with the Dutch, although his Majesty has gone to Portsmouth to review the fleet; that Sandwich, who was sent to the Downs, has since been recalled; that Prince Rupert is preparing to go and command a fleet of thirty frigates and the Duke of York is said to be ready to command another of twenty. But the Ambassador Van Goes is working hard for a settlement, and though he forgot his credentials, King Charles generously waived this formality. The Resident Douningh is ready to return to Holland with the best disposition, and it is believed that we shall soon hear of the desired adjustment.
The relief for Tanger left Portsmouth that same week with a favourable wind and as the Moors are pressing that fortress hard, right up to the trenches, it is expected that they will proceed to get together more reinforcements to meet the dangers that are threatened by Prince Gayland because as he has broken his promised word several times, after the manner of the barbarians, they can trust to nothing except to put down force and fraud by resolution and steadfastness.
News has come that the corsairs of Algiers are devoting their attention to closing or straitening the mouth of their port, to make it quite certain that they can harass and repel anyone who should attempt to enter. Thus, the English finding that it will be more difficult to use force against them, in addition to the five ships left before the mouth there have ordered seven other vessels which shall always be cruising up and down outside, and if their quarrels with the Dutch should cease, they will intensify their attacks in the Mediterranean against the Barbareschi.
Moret, the 22nd July, 1664.
|July 29.
46. Alvise Sagredo, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Doge and Senate.
Letters from England confirm the hope of a very near peace with the Dutch, though both sides are pressing on with their armaments. This causes some misgiving because of the possibility of accidents, since an engagement has been reported between the two nations in the Mediterranean, with advantage to the Dutch, and if this is confirmed such an affair might upset the happy course of the negotiations which had previously promised the settlement of then differences by agreement.
The Dutch ambassador has taken a house in London, an indication that things are taking a favourable turn. As a set off against this King Charles has chosen two ambassadors for Sweden and Denmark respectively, (fn. 3) and the pretensions of those crowns against the Dutch have already been noted, principally over the affairs of Guinea. The Ambassador Estrades at the Hague has offered his mediation with the king of England on behalf of the Most Christian, and it is expected that the offer will be accepted. By the last letters from Amsterdam the plague has greatly increased.
Moret, the 29th July, 1664.

|Medical Spanish
Medical Spanish
The key to quality medical care is communication and cultural empathy. Seeking medical help can be very frightening to non-English speakers and being able to communicate in their own language can be all it takes to get them through the door.
Montanita Spanish School provides a specialty Spanish course which is designed specifically for those working in the health care industry. Our course is comprehensive and includes everything from medical terminology to dealing with cultural issues. Our Medical Spanish course provides you with the tools to build a good relationship with your Hispanic patients which will undoubtedly improve your ability to diagnose and treat.
Join us now for one of the most useful professional development opportunities of your life.
Montanita Spanish School provides the opportunities to use your new vocabulary through our medical volunteering program
Join us now for one of the most useful professional development opportunities of your life.
Medical Volunteering
Medical volunteering in coastal Ecuador is an excellent option for those wanting to experience the hands on, limited technology approach of third world medicine. You will find it enriching, rewarding and inspirational and go home with a better understanding of the difficulties associated with providing healthcare with very limited resources.
From day one you will be working side by side with local doctors and nurses, using your medical skills as they complete their daily tasks. You will have plenty of direct patient contact and the opportunity to participate in house visits as well as working in the lab and pharmacy. What makes Montañita a truly great medical volunteering experience is the level of patient interaction and the willingness of your supervisors to share their knowledge and skills. Both of which will contribute immeasurably to your professional development. Whilst developing your medical skills by gaining hands on experience you also will be making a real difference to the life quality of our impoverished rural community.
Our Organizations
The closest hospital to Montañita is located in Manglaralto, the adjacent town to the south. Manglaralto Hospital provides a different kind of medical experience through the delivery of community healthcare projects. The Hospital Director is excited about working with our volunteers out in the countryside and believes your assistance is much needed.
When we have received satisfactory personal information, we then need an official letter of recommendation from your dean, supervisor, or sponsor stating that you are in good standing and that you are being recommended to participate in our Medical Volunteering program.
Once you have satisfactorily completed the above, and there is availability, your volunteer placement will be confirmed. You will then receive a volunteer agreement that will need to be signed and returned to our volunteer coordinator before your arrival. When you arrive in Montañita you will need to bring a few things with you:

This 5-storey Christmas tree is decorated with students
Muskegon: It's not that an oversized tree adorned with ornaments is uncommon as a student choir sings carols. It's more that the towering steel tree is decorated with garland, twinkling lights, and hundreds of teenagers.
Students stand in the Singing Christmas Tree. Pic/AFP
The 67-foot-tall Mona Shores Singing Christmas Tree features 25,000 lights, 5,000 linear feet of greenery, and 15 tiers on which about 220 choir members stand. About 50 other students sing from the base of the tree.
Freshmen are relegated to the bottom of the five-storey tree, while sophomores and juniors populate the middle. Seniors set up shop in the upper levels. The top is the domain of the tree angel, a senior selected by Shawn Lawton, the director of the choir.

Exodus Continues: High Ranking Center Party MP, ETV Host Join IRL ({{commentsTotal}})
Two weeks after media speculation linked former Tallinn mayor and Center Party board member Jüri Ratas with a switch to the Reform Party, Aivar Riisalu, a parliamentarian since 2007, said he has left the party and joined IRL.
Riisalu handed in his notice on Sunday and took part in a IRL faction meeting today. According to the party, will run for office for IRL at the next elections in March.
"I decided to join IRL as I see better opportunities for myself to contribute to the development of Estonia," he said, adding that IRL does not compromise on Estonian security matters. A second important topic, according to Riisalu, is tax reform, which according to him last took place in the '90s when Mart Laar, of IRL, was in charge.
Besides politics, Riisalu is on the board of a number of private companies, has participated on game shows and is a well known TV and radio show host. More than 2,100 people voted for him at the 2011 parliamentary elections.
ETV host joins IRL
One of ETV's most prominent TV hosts, Maire Aunaste, said she is quitting show business and going into politics, promising to join IRL.
She said her TV career, lasting close to three decades, will end in December this year. She said she was invited by Mart Laar to consider politics 20 years ago, but declined, but now is her last chance as she might be too old in another four years.
Aunaste, who was also an anchorwoman for Aktuaalne Kaamera for eight years, said she is joining IRL as for her freedom and independence are priority, and both were embodied by IRL in 1992, when a Laar-led IRL won the first ever elections, Aunuste said.
The Center Party now only has 20 MPs, beginning with 26 in 2011. IRL has 23, with one (Andres Herkel) leaving and Riisalu joining. The Reform Party has 35 MPs, having won over two Center Party members (Deniss Boroditš and Kalle Laanet) and the Social Democrats have 21, also welcoming two Center Party members (Inara Luigas and Rainer Vakra). Besides Herkel, Lembit Kaljuvee (also ex-Center) are partyless.

Malphite Build Guide by PressPlay

Thank You!

Malphite 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.
Hi. This is a fantastic guide for Malphite, The Shard of the Monolith.
This is a fun guide and is pretty easy to understand your role as Malphite.
Dont be afraid to vote this guide so I know what you guys think and whether I should make another as this is my very first guide.
-Great Aoe damage from Brutal Strikes, Ground Slam, and Unstoppable Force
-Great disables with a single target slow Seismic Shard, attack speed debuff Ground Slam and aoe knockup Unstoppable Force
-Combination of magic and physical damage makes it hard for opponents to defend against you.
-Still, a great tank with his armor buff and Granite Shield
-Not as tanky as the general Malphite build everyone goes.
-Once you go in theres no turning back... so you have to time your entrance well. :(
-Yeah no more cons cause he is just that awesome xD
Greater Mark of Attack Speed for the lack of attack speed that malphite has to cope with.
Greater Mark of Desolation and Greater Quintessence of Desolation for the extra boost to his damage output.
Greater Seal of Armor and Greater Glyph of Magic Resist to compensate for the lack of tankiness that this build offers.
Alternative. Trade in your Marks and Quintessence for Greater Mark of Critical Damage and Greater Quintessence of Critical Damage for the extra critical damage that this build not really focuses on but is still viable.
This setup is designed to give the extra damage for Malphite to punish anyone who dares to come too close to him with a boost to his damage output and yet still abit of defence. As this build focuses on offence, 21 points is giving for the ouch factor and 9 in defence just to boost his tankiness.
Skill sequence
I choose to put a point in Seismic Shard at lvl 1 just for the slow as you can already tell, Malphite does not have many chasing potential without this skill.
A point in Ground Slam for the aoe slow and damage much needed against any dps.
I choose to max Brutal Strikes first because its a beastly skill and it has soooo much synergy with Tiamat. COME ON MAN. Tiamats? FYI it stacks. So what do you get? Pure awesomeness of 62%+50%+50%+100% damage to anyone around your target and obviously 100% to your original target. And whats this? 40% bonus damage + armor to Malphite? With the ending 277 damage predicted at lvl 18 for this build... 1 GREAT ULT AND YOU GET A PENTA-KILL with your approximately 400 damage with Exilir of Fortitude . Yes I know you guys love pentakills! ;)
Summoner Spells
Malphite can pretty much go with any summoner spell + Flash with the exception of Promote and Revive
Clarity for the mana problems any malphite has with harassing the opponent in lane. But then again... this build is for dps which means you will not be spamming that much. Not really recommended.
Exhaust best in my opinion as it gives an extra slow and damage debuff, making Malphite a threat in chasing and 1v1 situations.
Ignite for the extra damage to finish anyone off.
Ghost Malphite has not much escape options so this could be it.
Heal not much needed to be said here
Surge extra dps can come in handy ^^
Teleport Malphites crowd controls makes him a great ganker and tele allows him to farm freely.
Cleanse yeah the rock dies rather fast under crowd control with this build
Clairvoyance if you are playing the supportive role earlier on.
The main focus with this build is to give Malphite the maximum farming potential early game for him to scale into a best late game with his auto attacks dealing a ton of damage in an area.
With Tiamats, last hitting is a breeze... wiping creep waves in a matter of 3/4 hits.
Malphite is not only a great tank but also a great pure dps. Be warned though... if timed wrongly, you could be caught between a rock and a hard place xD Have fun summoners!

If things go wrong based on merges with concurrentmergescheduler in tests, its always more difficult to reproduce.
But we make it worse, CMS can base its behavior on:
- number of cpus.
- whether drives are SSDs.
We should just allow a (undocumented, for testing) sysprop backdoor to override both of these. This way, it can be set to values completely based on the random seed in LuceneTestCase init, and its not a reproducibility trap.
Its true we try to set explicit values for LuceneTestCase.newIndexWriterConfig() and so forth. But not all tests use randomized IW configs.

- Transitions
Patch. It adds the properties to CMS, and then sets random values for CPU core count and spins derived from the master seed ...
+1, this is great.
I think we just need tweaks to test.policy to add write access to the two new permissions. +1 to commit with that.

Unanswered: Access 2000 - Printing a form in landscape mode
I've been working on a project for a company this past week, and I brought it home to work on it. Problem: They use Access 2000, I use Access 2003.
Some of the features I programmed for them didn't work after I moved the database back to their network, as some of the code does not apply.
I've figured out how to repair all of the features to how 2000 wants to see them, except for one thing:
I have a button in the main form, which, instead of printing one of their various reports off, it is supposed to do the same thing as going FILE > PRINT > SELECTED RECORD and setting it to Landscape mode. The code works GREAT in 2003....... but I cannot find anything to save myself on this last feature.
This is the code for the subroutine that works in Access 2003:
Private Sub ScreenPrint_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_ScreenPrint_Click
Forms("Caller Request").Printer.Orientation = acPRORLandscape
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70

When I try to run the code on 2000, and I click the button, I get a debug dialog box telling me that the variable "acPRORLandscape" is not defined.
Is there another technique I could use to accomplish the same thing, but that 2000 will understand?
Please and Thank You!!!

This is why I always develop an application in it's source database. If you are going to implement on 2000, then develop in 2000!
You might want to consider developing a report for printing, set that report to landscape and just print the current record by passing a filter
DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", acViewPreview, , "RecordID = " & Me.RecordID

large room airflow - what approach?>>
I am looking to model a large room: 30ftx100ftx100ft, containing mostly open space and some floor equipment. We will be looking at airflow paths and contaminant transport. AIRPAK looked like it might be able to handle this. Can anybody recommend other starting points for a project like this(I am new to CFD and modelling in general)?
Thanks in advance
Re: large room airflow - what approach?>>
FLUIDYN does have a commercial software package designed for airflows inside closed spaces. It is called fluidyn-VENTIL and is usually used for air quality (pollutant dispersion), ventilation etc. Please contact me if you wish further details on this software or check the following website : http://www.fluidyn.com.
Thanks, I will look for more info on their site

Royal Bank of Scotland said on Friday that its net loss more than doubled to £528 million (594 million euros, $866 million) in the first quarter as the state-rescued bank was hit by large bailout costs.
The loss after tax for the three months to March 31 compared with a net loss of £248 million in the first quarter of 2010, RBS said in an earnings statement.
RBS is 83-percent owned by the British government after a state-bailout triggered by the 2008 global financial crisis.
It said on Friday that the net loss came after the Scottish lender was hit by a charge of £469 million linked to the government's Asset Protection Scheme (APS), or state insurance set against risky assets.
However the bank's underlying performance showed improvement, with operating profit rising 19 percent to £1.05 billion in the first quarter of 2011. The news helped send shares in RBS soaring in London trade.
"RBS first quarter results show progress continuing," the bank's chief executive Stephen Hester said in the earnings statement.
"We are strongly focused on serving customers well while building capabilities to improve further. Financial strength and resilience continue to show sharp improvement as core business profitability broadens and non-core risks are reduced.
"This recovery is also allowing us to absorb higher Irish impairments and substantially increased regulatory demands, and to self-fund other 'bills from the past' such as restructuring, disposals and the cost of APS support," Hester added.
Shares in RBS surged 6.27 percent to stand at 43.02 pence in midday trading on London's benchmark FTSE 100 index, which was down slightly.
"Given the headwinds of increasing Irish impairments, APS repayments and a revaluation of its own debt, the update actually implies some improving prospects for the beleaguered bank," said Richard Hunter, head of UK equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers.
"In all, there are some signs that the recovery continues at RBS, even if numerous and significant hurdles remain. The share price performance has reflected this plethora of risks, having dropped 20 percent over the last year as compared to a 13 percent gain for the wider FTSE 100," he added.
RBS was updating the market on its performance one day after another state-rescued lender, Lloyds Banking Group, said it had plunged into a loss during the first quarter.
LBG fell into the red after setting aside £3.2 billion to compensate customers who were mis-sold payment insurance.
British banks last month lost a High Court appeal against tighter regulation of payment protection insurance (PPI), which gives insurance for consumers if they fail to meet repayments on credit products.
RBS said on Friday that it was "unable reliably to estimate any potential financial liability, although it could prove to be material".
PPI became controversial after it was revealed that numerous consumers had been sold the insurance without understanding that the cost was being added to their loan repayments.
Britain's Competition Commission has since banned simultaneous sales of PPI and credit products.

From Sabledrake Magazine Contributors Page:
I'm a self taught writer and artist who, like everyone else here, has been drawing or painting all my life. It is only in the last few years that I started taking my artwork more seriously and only very recently that I decided to try my hand at fantasy work. I am drawn to this genre for two reasons. First, it is a departure from a lot of the stuff I have done so far. Second, I believe the art form truly challenges one's skills. I use a variety of mediums, but I primarily work in pencil, colored pencil and acrylic paints. I hope to learn and develop as an artist so that I might do more freelance work.

A MAN who was found with £840 worth of cocaine in his house has appeared before a crown court judge.
But Daniel Gladwin, 28, avoided going to prison after receiving a 12-month suspended sentence.
Gladwin, of Illingworth Road, Illingworth, Halifax, was arrested by police in October last year.
They found 21 bags of cocaine at 7 per cent purity, weighing 15.61 grams. They also found £105 in cash, several mobile phones and a small quantity of class C drugs.
Malcolm Knowles, defending, said Gladwin had now stopped using drugs.
He told the court: "He bought the drugs for one price and sold them for another price in order to fund his own habit.
"He only sold the drugs to people he knew and wasn't interested in making a profit."
Judge Jonathan Durham Hall told Gladwin: "You've stopped using drugs now which is an achievement. I should send you to prison for two or three years, but I think I can deal with you through a suspended sentence order.
Gladwin's 12-month sentence was suspended for two years and he must do 200 hours of unpaid work.
He will also be the subject of a curfew between 9pm and 6am for four months.

Pays To Recycle
Did you know it takes 23 beers to mill a sack of corn? Well, that's what management figured out after tracking Bubba Cody Slurpster's daily progress. Management found 230 empty beer bottles and 23 sacks of corn meal after Bubba Cody's shift. They make more money on recycling bottles than they do on a sack of corn meal.

Binding: Softcover
Size: 5" x 8"
Should youth leaders venture forth into cyberspace to reach today's online teens?
Do you know where your church's teens are hanging out? It may be the mall, or the local Starbucks, but chances are even better that they're hanging out virtual style. Almost two-thirds of American teens use Instant Messenger. MySpace.com has over 55 million members, adding over 85,000 profiles each day. These two technologies have redefined how the typical teenager spends time with friends. And they have important implications for today's youth leader.

Material has changed again
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 175lbs
The shirts I received are 87% merino wool, 13% nylon (as currently described on icebreaker's website), not 83% merino wool, 12% nylon, 5% Lycra as stated in the description. So they're probably not as stretchy but they do contain a little more merino wool. Sizing is about as I'd expect for a Large with it being a little loose at the neck hole and shorter sleeves. Probably could have gotten away with a Medium. I typically wear a Medium in polo shirts and a Large in tshirts.
- Height: 5'9"
- Weight: 130lbs
Bought this as a gift for my husband - the fabric wicks away moisture, dries quickly, and holds up against stink really well. He wore it for 4 days straight this past weekend (while camping / trail running) and it was in pretty solid condition towards the end of the trip. Kinda gnarly from bug spray and sunscreen, but still solid overall. Sizing is pretty true to fit, but if you're a Smedium, I might recommend going with a small. He bought the medium (and is a Smedium) and it's a shade over-sized on him. Not too bad though!
Quality you expect
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
- Height: 5'8"
- Weight: 160lbs
Quality you can expect from icebreaker and merino wool in general. Wore this thing touring on a yurt trip for 7 days and it barely stunk up. Sizing is spot on and no issues with durability. Would wear this piece in the mountains any time of the year.

Be careful with buying this shirt...you will end up with more. Despite a high price tag, I have yet to come across a t-shirt that equals the Icebreaker Tech Lite. This is just a do-it-all shirt. The wool ventilates well in the Texas heat while keeping me warm on hikes or as a base layer while skiing. It's also sharp enough for street wear. I've already purchased a second one, and I'm sure a third isn't too far away!
Runs short
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
I don't have a tall torso, but this shirt runs short, almost a belly shirt and definitely shows off my wanna-be plumbers bum. I like the shirt and still wear it though, just won't buy it again.
Daily Driver
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Height: 6'5"
- Weight: 200lbs
I was looking for a T shirt to wear during high output summer activities, as well as just on the daily for working out. This T shirt fits really well, is super soft and light on the skin, and most importantly, resists the funk like a champ!
For sizing, I am 6'5 and 200 lbs, the XL fits just about perfectly. Not clingy but not baggy, and with a pretty perfect length as well. Fits a touch smaller than what I would call a standard XL, so keep that in mind when considering size.
Great Shirt
- Size Bought: Large
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 175lbs
I wear these for ski touring, normally a medium, but I buy these in size large. I do throw them in the dryer so they shrink a bit but that's why I size up.
It doesn't get much better
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 170lbs
So I have read a few of the reviews below... There is some negative feed back on some small changes on this shirt but I went with it anyway and I have to tell ya... I wouldn't think twice about getting 10 more of the same color!
Icebreaker is not new to this and it shows in the comfort and fit of this shirt. Yes its only 83% Merino Wool mix with nylor and Lycra but the comfort is not gone, it still wicks sweat and couldn't be a better choice for an outdoor shirt.
What sticks out is the freedom of motion, light feel, breath-ability and soft touch. If you have owned a T-shirt or two you know that comfort and feel surpass looks... but this shirt hits all of that. Athletic fit, functionality and comfort bam! that's all she freaking wrote!
When it comes to usage and activities don't even bother thinking about if this is a good choice I promise it will handle whatever it is you are doing unless its 200' of sandstone chimney/ offwidth climbing then yeah!... you might have an issue, but what shirt doesn't get wrecked by that?
Conclusion... buy the shirt!

Love these shirts

Review from my husband:
This will be my 3rd one of these, I used the first two until they were literally falling apart on my back, to the point where I had to put sunscreen under some of the holes. They are wonderful to hike in, ski in, camp in, travel in, live in. If I could afford it I would own 5 of these and never wear anything else. It is a bummer that they are not 100% wool anymore, I have noticed that it does smell a little more than my earlier versions and it is not as soft.
Sizing: I am 5'10 150lbs and have had both small and medium. The small is juuust too small for me and the medium feels a little baggy. In the end I am sticking with mediums.
Great shirt
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: L
- Height: 6'0"
- Weight: 185lbs
Wore 3 of these during a ROUGH Dall Sheep hunt in alaska. Shot a sheep and then a moose and had to pack them both out a very, very long way. These shirts didnt stink at all at the end of the trip. Would highly rec them.
I'll never buy another one
The new non 100% wool shirts are just not the same.
Simple, Comfortable, Technical
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
- Height: 5'11"
- Weight: 150lbs
I love wearing merino for it's versatility. It looks nice so can be worn in a bunch of a different settings - it doesn't look super technical. I'm sure everyone knows about the benefits of merino wool, so I won't go through them, but I will say this shirt has all of those attributes.
My one complaint is that, even though the shirt is soft, it's not really, really, soft like the one I have from Ibex. I know Icebreaker is using a blend, which makes sense because pure merino is delicate and expensive.
I ordered a medium and it first perfectly (I'm a slim guy).
Good shirts
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I have two of these shirts, they are good for long activities and keep you cool and no bad oddors
Not the same anymore. In fact Ruined!

Icebreakers line of tech lites have been downgraded. They have reduced their wool content down to 87% from 100% They now feel cheap, pill like crazy, wrinkle far easier, and worst of all do not resist odor as they use to! Icebreaker has weaved in 13% cheap nylon to the merino wool. Which bacteria love therefore reducing its odor resistance. I should know as i have been wearing this shirts for close to 10 years now. I immediately noticed the change upon removing a new tech t-lite from it plastic packing wrap. And since i wear this line of shirts literally everyday as undershirts (read 365 days a year even have a few i designate as sleeping shirts) i can speak to the other quality issues like the pilling, and less odor resistance with authority. ICEBREAKER please revert to the old high quality version of this product. You are most definitely losing customers and compromising your name.
Thanks Michael for pointing that out. The description above, at least at the time of this writing, only denotes wool as the material but a check on the Icebreaker website confirms that the Tech T is no longer 100% wool. I was about ready to purchase, but no longer. Bring back the 100% wool!
Only Shirt You Need
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
- Height: 6'1"
- Weight: 185lbs
Be careful...you buy one of these Tech Lite Shirts and you will inevitably end up with more. The Merino wool that Icebreaker uses is lightweight, breathable and thankfully for my fiancee, odor resistant. I bought my first Tech Lite Shirt a couple years back and it has traveled with me over the world. I rarely washed it, wore it for days on end in the sweltering heat of Southeast Asia and it is still going strong. Now I own 3. Highly recommended! Feel free to shoot me any questions on Icebreaker products.

Nice running shirt
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: small
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 160lbs
I bought this for my husband for hiking and running. It is a nice, soft fabric and great for early fall hikes. The small might have been a little too small for him; he hovers between small and medium,
Super Comfy
Bought this for a friend, but I also own an Icebreaker Tech lite Shirt. They are great all around tees for everyday use and when you traveling and want to pack as light as possible. Buy multiplies, you won't regret it.
Another great shirt from Icebreaker
Okay, at this point I may be biased. My entire drawer is full of Icebreaker shirts. I've also branched out into their shorts and boxer briefs and love those too. The only Icebreaker item I haven't loved is their socks, but I digress.
I'm 6'1" and 180lbs and I usually go with a medium for a trim fit.
From a style perspective, I like the different tone around the collar, which makes for a nice break from my other solid-color shirts.
I wear it for any outdoor activity, especially on longer outings -- wool is great for managing sweat and then not feeling overly sticky afterwards.
Having owned a bunch of Icebreakers over the years, my one complaint is that they do tend to get small holes after a while. Maybe it's moths? Or maybe just wear. That said, I've gotten many good years out of all of my shirts.
So yeah, great shirt. Highly recommended.
So many activities!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend after he accidentally put his other wool shirts in the dryer. First note, don't dry wool shirts unless you're bringing back 90's crop tops.
He is 5'10" and about 160 lbs with a longer torso and prefers a baggier fit. The L was a good fit, but he sided with the XL for preference. The shirt also has nice long sleeves.
The copy recommends this for casual use, but I think wool is a great, breathable fabric for athletic activities. So far he has worn this biking and hiking. Wool shirts are also nice for backcountry skiing.
The only complaint I've heard from him about wool shirts in general is that the fabric wears where pack straps are around the waist. Hoping this one holds up and he doesn't get shrunk, so far so good!
Haha. If I don't wash my boyfriend's wool socks, our cat would be wearing them.
Great Shirt for moderate activity
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
- Height: 5'9"
- Weight: 165lbs
I have about 5 Icebreaker shirts and love them for their no smell, comfort, and insulation. The tech lite shirts are great for moderate activity like yoga, walking and hiking as they regulate body temperate and insulate well. It doesn't wick moisture or dry as quickly as synthetics and therefore not the best option for rigorous activities, like running. But I have ran in them and felt comfortable even if they weren't dry.
I love my Icebreaker medium weight T-shirt...
I love my Icebreaker medium weight T-shirt for its light weight, warmth, and odor resistance. It's wonderful for backpacking or jogging in cool weather. There's one thing, however that I don't like. It snags easily so I can no longer wear it in polite company. Ouch!
