Jarvan IV 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 build will help you have an better understanding of Jarvan IV and how to play him correctly.
A good Jarvan IV is one that is hard to kill, someone who poses a challenges for 2 or 3 if ever ganked. Jarvan starts of with an above average amount of health and armor which makes it very benefitial to build up apon. Around level 10-15 champions will start finding it extremely hard to kill you, and you will only get harder to kill as you approach level 18.
Why is it important for Jarvan IV to be extremely difficult to kill? Because Jarvan IV is supposed to be played as an initiator. Jarvan IV is supposed to lead the team into battle, and for the enemy to target him first.
Why Jarvan IV?
Why you should play Jarvan?
- You hate dying
- Love being a teamplayer getting plenty of assists, while getting some kills
- Using Fun Skills
- Like starting fights
- Enjoy Winning Games
Pros / Cons
+ Hard to Kill
+ Almost Impossible to kill one on one
+ Does a nice amount of damage
+ Great in team fights
+ Can isolate targets
+ Can stun/interrupt
+ Great at tower diving late game
- Mana dependant early game
- No self heal (Chances are you wont be building bloodthirster.)
- Costly, some games you wont of built your last item
Summoner Spells
By far the best summoner spell for Jarvan IV. It is useful in many situations, some examples are:
- Flashing away from an enemy
- Flashing towards an enemy inorder to kill a fleeing enemy
- Tower dive in, then flashing out
- Flashing behind an enemy
- Flashing out of a destructive AOE attack, such as nunu's ult
- Lets you engage and opponent from the jungle by flashing out
The second most effective summoner spell for Jarvan IV. Ignite is also useful in a handful of situations such as:
- Killing a fleeing enemy with low hp
- Helps by doing extra damage to a champion if you are evenly matched
- Reduces healing by 50%
- Pervents an enemy from going invisible or teleporting back to their base
Personally I like to put my Masteries into Offense going 21/9/0
I feel that Jarvan IV is tough enough to kill as it is without focusing masteries into defence and because of this, I put the masteries into offense helping his damage output so he can still be effective at hurt enemies in battle.
In my build I put marks into Armor, Glyphs into Magic resist per level, and Seals into health per level. Then I split up my Quintenessence into Armor, Health and Magic resist.
In order to increase Jarvan IV survivability it is crucial to boost the three most important aspects to survive. Armor, Magic resist, and Health.
Martial Cadence:
(Passive): Jarvan IV's first attack on his target deals 10% of the target's current health as bonus magic damage, caps at 400 damage. This effect cannot occur on the same target for 6 seconds.
Dragon Strike:
Jarvan IV extends his lance through his opponent, dealing 70 / 120 / 170 / 220 / 270 (+1.10 per bonus attack damage) physical damage and lowering their armor by 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 26% for 3 seconds. If its lance contacts his standard it will pull Jarvan IV to its location, knocking up all enemies in his path.
Golden Aegis:
Jarvan IV forges a shield protecting him 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 (+20/25/30/35/40 per nearby enemy champion) damage for 5 seconds and applying a 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35% slow to surrounding enemies upon activation. The shield adds more mitigation for every enemy champion nearby when activating.
Demacian Standard:
(Passive): Grants Jarvan 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 26% bonus attack speed and 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 26 armor.
(Active): Jarvan IV throws a Demacian flag to a nearby area, dealing 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+0.80 per ability power) magic damage to enemies in the area and granting his passive benefits to nearby allies and again to himself for 8 seconds.
Jarvan IV heroically leaps to an enemy champion, dealing 200 / 350 / 500 (+1.50 per bonus attack damage) physical damage and creating a circle of impassable terrain around them for a 3.5 second duration. Jarvan IV can destroy the area by activating it again. Champions can still leave or enter the area by using teleport abilities.
Using Jarvans Moves
Demacian Standard is Jarvan IV's best move. It can harass enemies, reveal bushes, give bonus attack speed and armor to allies, and do decent damage. Use it as much as possible.
Dragon Strike should almost allways be used in succession with Demacian Standard. When used in succession it will damage and throw enimies into the air interrupting and stunning them for a second. This combo can also help you escape combat incase you get ganked. In addition Dragon Strike can be used to hit enemies who are just barely out of your reach. Another important use of Dragon Strike is when farming, when serval minions are low health, make sure you use the move to kill them all and obtain their gold.
Golden Aegis is another great move. It should be used after initiating combat as a way to prevent large amounts of damage. Also thanks to its short cool down it can be used as a way of slowing down fleeing enemies, slowing enemies from reaching a teammate who is fleeing or as an escape move helping players reduce the damage they take while slowing down the enemy.
Cataclysm Jarvan IV's ultimate is a strong and useful move which does good damage, and traps the enemy. You can also trap your teammates in it so becareful, only trap your teams if they are able to take some damage and can help you kill the enemy quickly. Use Cataclysm to trap squishy enemies away from the group, stop enemies from fleeing, split up the opponents focus so they are no longer all targeting the same champion, and as a way of slowing down the opponent protecting fleeing allied champs.
*Note* If using Cataclysm make sure you are using it on a champion who does not have an escape teleporting type move. For example: Caitlyn's net can be used to escape Jarvan IV's Cataclysm. Instead of using it right away, force Caitlyn into using her move then use Cataclysm perventing her from escaping and most likely giving you or your team a kill.
Starting items
Health Potion and Boots of Speed
Early Game Buys
Complete Mercury's Treads and start working on Warmog's Armor
Mid Game Buys
Around level 8-11 you should of finished Warmog's Armor and now must make a crucial decesion.
You must look at the other team and figure out if the team is more Attack Damage, or more Magic Damage. If the opposing team is practically only Attack Damage (4 or more champions) build Thornmail and ignore Force of Nature. If the opposing team is practically only Magic damage (4 or more champions) ignore Thornmail and just build Force of Nature. If the opposing team is split between Attack and Magic damage (2 atk and 3 magic or 3 atk and 2 magic) always build Thornmail first and then Force of Nature.
Late Game
Depending on your mid game build you will either have 2 or 3 spots open. Build Atma's Impaler. Atma's Impaler is a great weapon for Jarvan IV because it adds 2% of his health to Attack Damage and with this build you will have lots of health. It also increases the chance of critical striking and adds armor.
After Atma's Impaler you will be left with 1 or 2 slot inventory slots available. I recomend you fill those slots with one or two of following items.
Frozen Mallet Jarvan IV is not the best chaser and this item would help out alot. It would also add to his crowd control which can help the team out alot.
The Bloodthirster Another great item for Jarvan IV because it adds to his attack damage by a large amount, helps heal himself which is something he is not good at, and because at this point death will be extremely rare even when playing slightly carelessly you do not have to worry about losing its stack.
The Black Cleaver Adds attack damage which is always nice, and helps Jarvan IV's armor penetration. A good item if the other team has alot of armor, but my least recomended item because Jarvan IV has Dragon Strike which reduces his opponents armor already.
Warmog's Armor Adds lots of health and health regen. Helpful because it will help Jarvan IV recover faster from a battle, make him a ton harder to kill, and slightly increases his attack damage by around 27 thanks to Atma's Impaler
Jarvan IV is a great champion and should always be the first to engage in team fights due to his high survivability. That is it for my guide, I would like to thank you for reading it and hopefully it was exactly what you were looking for. I have gotten great results with this build so far, and I hope you will too. If anyone has a question feel free to ask it in the comments below.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or genetically "engineered" (GE) foods, are live organisms whose genetic components have been artificially manipulated in a laboratory setting through creating unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and even viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.
GMO proponents claim that genetic engineering is "safe and beneficial," and that it advances the agricultural industry. They also say that GMOs help ensure the global food supply and sustainability. But is there any truth to these claims? I believe not. For years, I've stated the belief that GMOs pose one of the greatest threats to life on the planet. Genetic engineering is NOT the safe and beneficial technology that it is touted to be.
If the biotech industry has its way, 184 million acres of native forests around the world will be bulldozed down and replaced with plantations of genetically engineered (GE) trees.
On these proposed GE tree plantations, there are essentially no other plants, insects, birds, or wildlife — just rows upon rows of cloned Frankentrees growing at accelerated rates on a crust of dead, lifeless soil above dwindling groundwater reserves.
Trees are being genetically engineered with unnatural characteristics, such as the ability to kill insects, tolerate colder temperatures, resist toxic chemicals, and grow faster — but these "advantages" come at an unacceptable price.
"Synthetic Forests" is a documentary exposing the truth about GE trees. In this short but hard-hitting film, leading scientists discuss the devastating and irreversible impacts of allowing GE trees into our global ecosystem.
Why Genetically Engineer Trees?
Industry wants to market designer trees with a variety of traits that will increase their income-generating capacity — at least over the short-term. Trees have varying degrees of commercial value, depending on their characteristics, as well as how quickly they can be harvested.
For example, some trees like the fast-growing Eucalyptus are being engineered to grow even faster.
In collusion with the paper industry, trees are being engineered to have lower lignin, as this natural polymer must be removed from wood pulp before the pulp can be made into paper, which is an expensive part of the process.
The problem is, lignin is what gives trees their structural integrity — it's what allows trees to stand strong in wind and other harsh weather conditions, and to withstand diseases and damage from insect and animal browsing.
Low-lignin trees are weaker and less able to withstand these environmental stresses and do not optimally nourish important fungi once they are put back into the soil. Dead low-lignin trees also decompose faster, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere more quickly, which contributes to climate change.
The best thing for trees is to stop using them for paper. Paper doesn't need to be made from wood pulp, because far more Earth-friendly materials exist, such as agricultural wastes, recycled material, hemp, tobacco, and even banana leaves.
Fruit trees are also being genetically altered so they can be marketed as "disease resistant."
However, despite these marketing claims, many GE trees and other plants are actually weaker and more susceptible to disease than their natural counterparts and end up needing massive amounts of chemicals to remain viable, usually in the form of herbicides and pesticides.
Not only that, contamination of wild and organic fruit trees by GE genes has been devastating to nearby wild groves. For example, cross-contamination by GE papaya plantations has crushed Hawaii's wild, organic papaya industry.
Expert Says Genetic Engineering Is Based on 'Lousy Science'
The problem with genetic engineering has to do with the fact that GE plants and animals are created using horizontal gene transfer (also called horizontal inheritance), as contrasted with natural reproduction, which involves vertical gene transfer.
Vertical gene transfer, or vertical inheritance, is the transmission of genes from the parent generation to offspring via sexual or asexual reproduction, i.e., breeding a male and female from one species.
By contrast, horizontal gene transfer involves injecting a gene from one species into a completely different species, which yields unexpected and often unpredictable results due to the wake of mutations it generates.
Proponents of genetic engineering assume they can apply the principles of vertical inheritance to horizontal inheritance. But according to award-winning scientist and geneticist David Suzuki, Ph.D. this assumption is flawed in just about every possible way and is "just lousy science."
Genes don't function in a vacuum — they act in the context of the entire genome. Whole sets of genes are turned on and off in order to arrive at a particular organism, and the entire orchestration is an activated genome.
When you change a genome, nature can respond in unpredictable ways. It's a dangerous mistake to assume a gene's traits are expressed properly, regardless of where they're inserted. The safety of genetic engineering is only a hypothesis, and in science, hypotheses often end up being wrong.
The Spread of Seed and Pollen Is Uncontrollable
Genetically engineered trees are vastly different from other annual GE crops like corn and soybeans because trees can live for decades and even centuries in the wild. Once GMO trees escape the confines of their plantation, they are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to eradicate.
Many tree species, such as pines and poplars, can spread their pollen and seeds over great distances. Pollen can blow hundreds or even thousands of miles, dusting native trees with GMO pollen.
Consequently, the risks, regulation, and assessment needs of GMO trees may be even greater than those of more seasonal crops like GMO corn and soy. Disrupting forest ecosystems endangers the health of the entire planet.
Native forests have been called the "lungs of the Earth," supporting food and wildlife habitats everywhere. Forests absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, filter water and release it back into the atmosphere, as well as building the soil.
With GE trees, contamination of native forests is both inevitable and irreversible. Many tree species regularly interbreed with similar species, and some are highly invasive, including Eucalyptus — a "bully" that's spread out of control across California.
Once wild tree species are contaminated, GE trees could take over vast geographical areas, and there's no do-over — you can recall a dangerous drug, but you can't recall a dangerous tree until it is too late.
GMO Trees May Be the 'Greatest Threat to Forests Since the Chain Saw'
Genetically engineered trees threaten native forests, which are already endangered by mining, agriculture, pollution and other factors. When you lose a forest, you don't just lose trees — you destroy an entire web of life.
Critical biodiversity is lost.
We don't even know the extent of what we're losing, as many species of plants, animals and insects have yet to be studied. This biodiversity may hold undiscovered cures for cancer and other diseases. Loss of native forests also has negative effects on indigenous communities and world climate.
The health effects of GE seeds and pollen introduce additional concerns. Birds eat the seeds, and we have no idea how they'll be affected. People inhale the pollen — how will our immune systems react? No one knows because it hasn't been studied. Entire Filipino villages have been stricken with a mysterious illness thought related to Bt-corn pollen, but an official investigation was never done.
In addition to that, as noted in the film, only about 1 percent of sprayed herbicides and pesticides hit their target — the rest ends up in our food and water. Like GE food crops, GE trees are heavily reliant upon these chemicals. One half million pounds of toxic chemicals already rain down on the U.S. each year in rainwater — much of which is atrazine. Arial spraying of atrazine is used almost exclusively in forestry.
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) advises physicians to warn patients about the potential health dangers of eating GMO food, including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system.
GE trees can only add to these risks.
The majority of research and development on GE trees has come from a company called ArborGen, the industrial "love child" from a tryst between Monsanto, International Paper, Westvaco, and Fletcher Forests. ArborGen is the largest US corporate proponent for GE trees and is hoping to follow Monsanto's blueprint for commercializing GE crops. If GE trees are approved by the USDA, ArborGen is projected to grow 2,000 percent by 2017.
A scientist from the Center for Food Safety recently exposed a secret letter from the USDA to ArborGen, dated August 2014. In it, the USDA made the unprecedented decision to allow ArborGen to pursue unregulated commercial cultivation of a loblolly pine genetically engineered for altered wood composition. The trees could be planted anywhere in the U.S. without public knowledge or access to information about them.
Loblolly pines are native across 14 states throughout the southeastern US and are grown in plantations around the world. Their pollen is known to travel for hundreds of miles. Groups from around the world are rising in protest, as this is the first GE tree to be legalized without any government or public oversight or risk assessment.
According to ecologist/biologist Rachel Smolker, Ph.D., of Biofuelwatch:
"If these GE loblolly pines are released on a large scale in the U.S., there will be no way to stop them from cross contaminating native loblolly pines. This is deliberate, irreversible and completely irresponsible contamination of the environment with unknown and possibly devastating consequences.
Forest ecosystems are barely understood, and the introduction of trees with genes for modified wood characteristics could have all manner of negative impacts on soils, fungi, insects, wildlife, songbirds, and public health. And all this for short term commercial profit."
In addition to loblolly pines, ArborGen is also seeking USDA approval for Eucalyptus trees engineered for cold tolerance. If granted, ArborGen plans to sell hundreds of millions of seedlings to be planted every year across the southeastern US, from Texas to South Carolina. They are also promoting development of a GE American Chestnut tree that's resistant to blight, as well as many others.
The Global Campaign to STOP GMO Trees
Genetically engineered tree plantations threaten to spoil native forests, displace local farmers and destroy sustainable economies. Pollen and seeds from GE trees are impossible to control, with potentially grim ecological consequences.
Self-sufficient communities will be forced to leave their land, adding to the growth of city slums.
Despite knowledge of these probable outcomes, the biotech industry, with the full backing of the U.S. government, is pushing GE trees forward with ever-increasing zeal.
Fortunately, there is some good news on the horizon. Organizations from all over the world, and all angles of interest, have banded together to form a global network opposing GE trees. The Campaign to STOP GE Trees includes more than 200 organizations in 49 countries. If you care about this issue, please visit their website and sign their petition to the USDA. But don't stop there! Following are several more things you can do to help preserve our native forests:
- Refrain from buying paper products made from trees/wood pulp; instead, buy recycled paper (toilet paper, tissue paper, writing paper, computer paper); Greenpeace and NRDC have handy downloadable guides for buying recycled, Earth-friendly paper products
- Reuse and recycle the paper products you do use
- Eliminate your need for toilet paper altogether by installing in a bidet
- Say no to napkins, especially when you're handed a stack of them; use cleaning cloths instead of paper towels
- Cut back on printing; ask yourself if you really need to print a document; use both sides of a paper before tossing it; use old receipts for notes; reuse wrapping paper, or make your own from newsprint or magazines
- Opt out of the yellow pages
- Boycott the new GE apples (called "Arctic apples") and GE potatoes, which just passed FDA inspection. For more information on GE apples, read "Genetically Engineered Apples: Any Way You Slice It, a Rotten Idea." Choose only produce that you know is organic, preferably grown near you. The Center for Food Safety has a free Shopping Guide to Avoiding GE Foods.

Grace and Ted Chapman. Literary power couple. On the surface, they seem to have it all. Beneath, what no one sees, is Ted's rages. His mood swings. And the precarious house of cards that their lifestyle is built upon. When Ted's longtime assistant and mainstay leaves, the house of cards begins to crumble, and Grace, with dark secrets in her past, is most vulnerable.
To the rescue comes Beth, a new assistant. Someone who will help handle Ted. Someone who has the calm efficiency to weather the storms that threaten to engulf their household. Soon, though, it's clear to Grace that Beth might be too good to be true. And that this new interloper might be the biggest threat of all, one that could cost Grace her marriage, her reputation, and even her sanity.

I listen to many books and I am hard to satisfy, so when I find something that I can't stop listening to I have to share. I always read others reviews and I want to write one on this book. Basically, it kept me hooked wanting to find out what going to happen. Great character development and tension build up. I couldn't stop for 6 hours! If you liked Gone Girl you will like this. It was better.
"One of my new favorites"
This story is spectacular. I love Jane Green and her amazing imagination. These characters are so believable and i could not stop myself. i felt like i had to know what would happen next.
"Random and unrealistic"
What a hideously fake and unrealistic story. Absolutely dreadful and laughable. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! So ridiculous.
"Not the best from Green"
Very average at best, kept thinking it would be better as it went on and it wasn't. Did finish it, but was sort of happy to move on to something else. Have read most of Green's novels, this is one of the worst.
"is "Ted", her?"
this felt like she was just fulfilling her publishing contract. even down to the amount of words required. i put it down a few times but eventually came back out of respect but Jane phoned it in on this book.
"Amazing Twists and Turns..."
I love Jane Green and have read every one of her books. This was pergolas the best. Different from any of her others and this kind of story suits her well. I couldn't stop listening to this book. I think I got through it in less then a day! I loved it!! Now if we can get her to do a sequel !!
"Good premise.."
The plot started out well, but the story became a little predictable, a little too tedious. I love Jane Green. Maybe this wasn't my favorite of hers, but she is one of my all time favorite storytellers. Her stories have an intimacy that makes me feel as if I am a friend sitting across from her at lunchtime, catching up.
"Longest Dr. appointment ever... I do NOT recommend"
This is my first time to write a review on a book that I just can NOT finish.
I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, because it started out to be an interesting story. By chapter 19 (about half way through the book), I felt like I was sitting in a very long doctor appointment. I kept trying, but by chapter 28, I threw in the towel. It was like reading a bad pharmacy text book, and I no longer cared what happened to any of the characters that were developed in the beginning.
"Loved it"
Took a bit of time to get into it but I am glad I did. This book was captivating. Highly recommend
"Not the best for Jane Green"
I didn't enjoy the narrator, who I know is also the author. I love her books, but both the narration and the story in this one left a lot to be desired. I almost stopped listening but it did pick up in the second half. I can't say I'd recommend this book but I do recommend many of Jane Green's other novels.

Sure, the Mountain West Conference team that will be at The Pit this weekend isn't the first choice of the local fans. But
The New Mexico folks likely will get behind their rival, Utah, at least a little bit for the Sweet 16. In fact, the Utes probably won't know what to think when they hear some cheers for them in Albuquerque.
If there's one advantage the Utes have in this regional, it's that they're quite familiar with the venue -- they make the trip there every year. Normally, they are the "bad guys." Now, they'll be carrying the MWC banner when they face the winner of Tuesday's game between Ohio State and Boston College (ESPN2, 9 ET).
The No. 5 Utes defeated No. 4 Arizona State on Monday, advancing Utah to the program's second Sweet 16. The first one was in 2001, when Utah was also a No. 5 seed but was the host for the first two rounds because fourth-seeded Iowa
had a facility conflict.
And there was a Canadian standout on that Utes team, too: Amy Ewert, who was from Vancouver, B.C. This season, of course, there are six Canadians on the squad, including the two stars: Kim Smith (British Columbia) and Shona Thorburn (Ontario). You'll see both of them in the WNBA this summer.
The Utah women's team is vastly underappreciated in Salt Lake City, a contrast to the attention the Lobos get in Albuquerque. But the Utes are very worth watching, and anyone who thinks they're going to be just happy to be in the Sweet 16 is wrong.
Oh, at this point, I do have to say that when you're too much of a smart-aleck, you deserve to get stung. A couple of days ago, I was talking about Utah being the Beehive State because there are a lot of bees there, ha-ha, which is not really funny not to mention inaccurate.
Several very nice folks from Utah e-mailed to make sure I had the story straight, how Deseret, which was the initial proposed name for the state, means "honeybee." Which was an insect admired by Brigham Young, who wished his followers to be productive, industrious and work together, like honeybees do. I guess ants do, too, but they don't produce anything for us to eat on biscuits plus "Anthill State" wouldn't have sounded nearly as good.
Elaine Elliott's Utah program definitely has long had the honeybee mentality.
I should also mention some other people e-mailed to give me grief for another previous smart-aleck remark about the MWC and Big 12 having the same number of teams in the bracket. And how the MWC went 4-0 in its openers, while the Big 12 went 2-2 -- including a loss in the conferences' head-to-head matchup in the first round, TCU vs. Texas A&M. And I deserved that grief.
But in the second-round matchups Monday, the Big 12 prevailed. Oklahoma defeated BYU 86-70, and Baylor downed New Mexico 87-67.
It was a weird year in the Big 12, which was mostly a young conference, having lost a lot of really good seniors in both 2004 and 2005. And two of the teams that were thought to be league-title contenders, Texas and Texas Tech, had very difficult seasons and ended up not making the postseason. This is the only time since the inaugural NCAA Tournament in 1982 that at least one of those schools wasn't in the NCAA field. That year, Texas would have made it, but opted instead to play in the dying AIAW tournament.
Those two are marquee names and typically play very high-profile nonconference games. So when they struggled, the perception of the conference dropped. Considering Texas A&M fell and Missouri played so poorly (first-round blowout loss to Virginia Tech) -- and those were the teams that finished third and fourth in the league -- it's obvious that the Big 12 definitely had a separation point between everyone else and the "big two" of Oklahoma and Baylor.
One other thing that is notable, though, in relation to the Big 12 and the NCAA Tournament, is that three pretty new Big 12 coaches saw their former teams perform in the Big Dance.
Bonnie Henrickson, in her second season at Kansas, recruited the veteran players who have led the way to Virginia Tech's meeting tonight with UConn. Kathy McConnell Miller, who took over at Colorado this year, put together the inspiring Tulsa team that almost made the Sweet 16 before falling to DePaul. And Oklahoma State's Kurt Budke, who had to endure a 0-16 debut season in Big 12 play, watched his old Louisiana Tech team make the NCAA Tournament for the 25th year in a row.
But, no question, Oklahoma and Baylor established themselves all along as the league's best bets for another Final Four appearance. OU lost a few surprising games in the nonconference, but even Courtney Paris is allowed to have a hiccup or two in her first college season. You sure aren't going to see that again, though.
And Baylor, the defending national champion, is trying to prove it can overcome the loss of three key players from that 2005 team. Bet against Kim Mulkey-Robertson at your own risk.

The Nasty Women rallying cry has been a bright spot in a pretty depressing election cycle. After the Republican nominee, an accused rapist and admitted sexual assaulter, insulted pretty much everyone from Muslims to Mexicans, women, China, New Jersey, a disabled reporter, journalists in general, accused Hillary Clinton of being a nasty woman.
Not being "nice" is a big deal to those of us socialized female. We were taught from an early age to be considerate of others' feelings, to be nice in the face of meanness. As adults, we know that not being nice enough has very real consequences. There are frequent stories of women who weren't gentle, nice and considerate enough in rejecting men who were interested in them, and got attacked, assaulted, or killed. Being perceived as too brusque or too bossy can hurt a woman's career, even when those brusque and bossy actions are doing her job or doing exactly what a man in that position would do. Women are constantly expected to be nice.
So I'm delighted by the number of women agreeing that we don't have to return endless insults with niceness. I was reluctantly With Her, but I am honestly pleased to be among other nasty women.

Sports Direct boss vows to pay staff more than national minimum wage
Budget leisurewear chain Sports Direct - which is expanding in Northern Ireland - has pledged to pay its employees above the national minimum wage from January 1, in a move which will cost the firm £10m.
The group - which is controlled by Newcastle United FC billionaire owner Mike Ashley - said it will apply to casual workers as well as all of its directly employed staff.
In November, the Belfast Telegraph revealed that Mr Ashley had bought Donegall Arcade in the heart of the city, and is set to open his first city centre branch of Sports Direct.
It is understood rival retailer Lifestyle Sports had been due to take over the Currys store before the sale of the building.
It is Mr Ashley's first major property deal in Northern Ireland, though in October it emerged he was on course to take over Irish discount department store Heatons, which has 10 stores across the region.
While the property agents behind the sale, Lambert Smith Hampton, would not reveal how much Donegall Arcade had gone for, one expert said it would "be in excess of £10m".
Sports Direct operates a handful of stores in Northern Ireland, including two in Belfast, and in Newtownabbey, Bangor and Coleraine.
Now, the latest issue around pay comes after the company faced allegations from the Guardian newspaper earlier this month about low wages, and claims that it forces compulsory unpaid 15-minute searches of staff as they leave, while also docking wages for clocking in just one minute late.
The probe prompted condemnation from the Unite union, which called the atmosphere at Sports Direct "gulag working conditions". Senior Labour MP Chuka Umunna described the retailer, which runs around 400 stores across the UK, as a "bad advert for British business". Business Minister Nick Boles said HMRC could take enforcement action over the non-payment of the national minimum wage at the business. The Guardian sent undercover reporters to work at Sports Direct's warehouse in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, last month and alleged that the group is so concerned about potential theft that it even asks staff to roll up their trouser legs and show the top of their underwear as part of compulsory searches. The investigation also alleged staff are harangued by a public address system for not working fast enough.
Earlier this month Sports Direct posted half-year results showing a 3.6% rise in underlying pre-tax profits to £166.4m for the six months to October 25.
This latest controversy follows a storm of protest from trade unions over staff treatment at the group's annual shareholder meeting in September, when claims over staff searches first emerged.
Mike Ashley - who is said to be worth more than £3bn - has said he is personally launching a review of the retailer's employment practices.
His fortune is spread across his retail empire, along with his stake in Newcastle United.

If you can't serve effectively, you won't dominate on the volleyball court. Here are nine tips volleyball players can add to their serve routine to boost their scoring potential and make them more productive athletes.
Serving Tip No.1: Make Contact
Watch where you make contact on the ball in practice. You can focus on making good contact with the ball once you've lined up your body and faced where you want to serve.
Serving Tip No.2: Decide to Attack
Decide mentally that you are going to begin the play by attacking with your serve. Have the same mentality with your serve that you have with your spike unless your coach instructs you to serve short to the front row.
Serving Tip No.3: Practice
Serve 50 to 100 balls before and after practice. Set a goal and aim for each of the six positions on the opposing court. Meet your goal before serving to the next position.
Serving Tip No.4: Run
Mix up your serving practice by doing laps or sprints between serves. You often go back to serve in a game when you are out of breath. Get used to recreating game-type situations so you are used to stressful situations when serving in a game.
Serving Tip No.5: Homework
Practice your toss at home without your arm swing. The toss is the one element of the serve that can allow many young players to become point-making machines when they correct.
Serving Tip No.6: Consistency
Do at least 50 to 100 reps a day three times a week until the ball goes up the same height. Aim for two feet in the air, coming down in the same spot twelve inches in front of your front foot every time.
Serving Tip No.7: Look in the Mirror
Practice your arm swing at home, in the mirror. Do 50 to 100 reps every other day three times a week until you automatically pull your elbow back, keeping it high above your ear.
Serving Tip No.8: Visualize
Visualize yourself serving a tough serve that lands in the court to the specific position you choose. This is a great way of conducting your serving practice outside the gym.
Serving Tip No.9: Think Aces
Envision yourself scoring an ace serve over and over again. Play it in your mind. This mental exercise helps you automatically perform your tough serving action.

text: I found a MA compliant AUG09 M&Pc 9mm for $450 out the door (new)....but...the MA compliant scares me. They have a 10lb trigger rather than 6.5, 10rd mags instead of 12rd, and a trigger safety. Can the MA compliant gun utilize 12rd mags? Any other differences other than ones I have mentioned? I would have to have a gunsmith adjust my trigger back to 6.5 or down to 5lb...and buy all new mags....which would put the cost back to over $500. Watcha all think? I only own the M&P 9mm Pro - this would be my carry gun...nervous about that MA stuff!

August is a big birthday month in our family! Now that all of the kids are adults, presents are basically money and gift cards. Yes, I know cash and gift cards are welcome gifts, but it always seems so impersonal to me. I know it's the best gift, though I am happier giving it if there's a little razzle dazzle involved! How about a birthday "cupcake" topped Mason Jar to deliver cash or a gift card? A Styrofoam ball, some ribbon flowers and a real birthday candle and this ALMOST looks like a real cupcake! The jar is useful, it's a sweet birthday reminder and who doesn't love Mason jars?
My inspiration came from the black, polka-dotted cupcake liners. I'm sure no one is surprised at my black/white/pink color scheme. Yes, it's definitely girly – use this as a jumping off point to make one perfect for your birthday girl or guy!
Here are the supplies I used:
- Pint-sized Mason jar
- 2 ½" smooth Styrofoam ball
- ¾" satin ribbon
- Ribbon flowers in your choice of colors – I used pink and white
- 2 cupcake liners
- Glossy black Spray paint
- Cardstock, small pearls, ribbon, birthday sticker and tacky glue
- Multi-temp glue gun and glue sticks
First, I spray painted the Mason jar lid and screw ring glossy black. I used an old knife I keep around for cutting Styrofoam to slice a small piece straight across the bottom of the smooth Styrofoam ball so that it would sit flat. I found the center top of the ball (or as close as possible!) and used an awl to create a hole for a candle. I was going to cover the entire ball with pleated ribbon to resemble frosting. I wasn't loving the amount of time it was taking! I did one row of ribbon frosting, which covers the bottom of the ball. I hand pleated the ribbon and attached it to the Styrofoam ball with low temp hot glue, so there's a little look of "frosting" at the bottom of our cupcake.
You could use a regular Styrofoam ball and just push a small piece of the wire bottom of each flower into the ball. Since this jar may be opened and closed a lot, I decided to hot glue the flowers so they are very secure! I cut the flower stems as closely to the ribbon rose as possible and hot glued them in rows, starting just above the ribbon "frosting," overlapping slightly. Sizes of ribbon roses vary, so I worked my pink/white alternating combo as best as I could! I made sure not to cover the hole at the top.
I glued two cupcake liners together and glued a small circle of cardstock to the outside, flat part of the cupcake liner. With low temp hot glue on the flat bottom of the flowered "cupcake," I glued the completed Styrofoam ball inside of the cupcake liner. At first, I was going to make a paper or dowel candle, as I do in scrapbook or card projects, then I thought – wouldn't a real candle just look too cute? Use tacky glue on the bottom of the candle and push into the center hole, holding in place until dry. You could probably use some low temp glue; I forgot which glue gun I had plugged in and accidentally hit the first candle with high temp glue! Wow, the melt time was impressively fast! Just remind your gift recipient not to light the candle. 🙂
You can use either high temp glue or Goop to glue the lid of the Mason jar to the screw ring and let dry. I glued the finished "cupcake" to the lid of the Mason jar. I finished with a tag made with punched cardstock, a birthday sentiment sticker, ribbon and some pearls.
A cute and useful "cupcake" jar, ready to fill with a little cash, gift card or small gift and deliver a special birthday greeting! What do you think?
In case you missed them, here are two ideas to deliver a gift with a little razzle dazzle. I know, I REALLY need to do something for the guys and I promise I will!
"Bee" Beautiful Beauty Gift Jar
I'm having way too much fun with these Mason jars – and I've got some fun ideas to share in the fall and winter! Expect a few more birthday ideas this month! Thank you so much for visiting and even if it's not your birthday, eat a cupcake and have a sweet day!
Linking up to these great parties!

Hyundai rolls out new Azera trim with smaller engine
We reviewed a 2007 Hyundai Azera Limited not long ago and found the sedan from South Korea (actually, it's built in Montgomery, Alabama) to be a looker with a less than inspiring interior. While Hyundai has yet to address our criticisms inside the car, it has added a new model to the lineup aimed at courting folks who value fuel economy over the raw charisma of the current car's 263-horsepower 3.8L V6. The new GLS, available in dealerships now, will come with a smaller 3.3L V6 producing 234 hors

'Get outta ze cab!'
By Simon Busch, CNN • Updated 21st August 2013
Who hasn't left a strange airport wondering not just whether you should be
this taxi but whether it even
one -- only to be charmed, amused or unexpectedly edified by the person behind the wheel.
Or, it's true, bored to death, humiliated or even ripped off.
Now an online booking service called Airporttransfers has released a survey of 2,162 recent British vacationers, asking them to name the meanest, nastiest, take-the-longest-route-and-still-expect-a-tip taxi drivers on the planet.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on how C40 is helping cities take action against climate change.
Travel shocker! British tourist
consider French cabbies rude
CNN talks with Johannesburg Mayor Parks Tau about his vision for the South African city's future.
And get outta ze cab! It's the French.
Rooftop gardens to floating homes, CNN looks at how Rotterdam plans to become the world's most sustainable port city.
But -- and here we perform some fabulously expressive gesticulation whose meaning is "leave my hired vehicle immediately" -- it's also the Italians.
That's right: the two European nations have drawn up level at the traffic lights and been judged equally rude.
But for every offensive action, there's an equal and opposite reaction -- which brings us to Greece.
Some of its taxi drivers, those on the island of Rhodes, were judged among the friendliest on the planet.
The news comes on the heels of findings that people on another Greek isle, Ikaria, are among those with the longest life expectancy on Earth.
Diet has a lot to do with it, but so, too, does a famously laid-back attitude -- something that might have infected the Rhodes cabbies.
But what about those British vacationers?
Could it be that their collective offense-taking at the cab driving Jean-Pierres and Patrizias of this world comes from the famous reluctance of the French and Italians to speak English just because the British do?
Rides worldwide
NYC cabbies -- let them tell you a story.
Spencer Plat/Getty
To broaden the field a bit, what do non-Brits think of cab drivers worldwide?
Asking around our well traveled staff produced some passionate responses.
Tokyo cabbies wear suits, white gloves and put doilies and plastic covers on all upholstery.
But they're easily inflamed.
"Don't touch the door!" warns one editor. "That's for the driver to operate in your first moment of ultra-impressive service."
"Hong Kong taxi drivers can be mean and whiny if you're not going far or stuck in a lucrative traffic jam," says associate producer (and local) Maggie Wong.
"And, as second-jobbing small businessmen, they all have multiple mobile phones on the dash, so forget about small talk."
World's best taxis
Top storytellers
Next to London's beetle-shaped black cruisers, New York yellow cabs must be the most recognizable in the world. You'd expect New York cabbies to be sassy -- but rude?
"Are you rude to them?" parries Payal Dixit, an Upper West Side NYC resident in her early thirties.
"I've found that New York cab drivers are some of the best storytellers -- a simple 'hello' can get them going.
"Some don't want to be bothered, but most enjoy sharing their adventures, whether it be about celebrity passengers or their lives in a foreign country you dream of visiting."
View from the front
Now, we bet he'd have reason to be cranky ...
Dixit raises a good point. What's the view from the front seat?
"You know, 99% of people are as nice as pie," says Steve McNamara, general secretary of the British Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association, himself behind the wheel of a London cab for 30 years. (Another,
global survey
, it should be said, has consistently rated London's legendary black taxis the best in the world.)
"Cab driving restores your faith in humanity. It can be trying when people say, 'I'm staying at the hotel with the green door.' Don't you know there are 8,000 hotels in London?
"And you get obnoxious people who've been drinking -- but that's not as common as you might think.
"The 1% -- the loonies -- can be right wing, left wing, Christian or Muslim. Drivers always say, put 'em all together in an island in the Atlantic!"
Pull up here
We're getting out here.
In the comments section, share your stories of being charmed, amused or unexpectedly edified by the person by the wheel.
Or bored to death, humiliated or even ripped off.
Where the next adventure begins
See all Wonder
Ancient beauty, mystery and an impossible empire.
Frozen warmth, colorful darkness and gorgeous landscapes.
French Alps
Days of thin air and adrenaline, nights of wine and glory.
Lush grasslands, dry deserts and a different world below the waves.
Fly back in time, trek a volcano and hop on a boat in the real Garden of Eden.

$20 Business Bear Challenge
On November 1st, EPIC Residential College students and faculty gathered for a $20 Business Bear Challenge. EPIC@Bear teams started a business with only an Andrew Jackson and a month to discover, build and market their ideas. Why only $20 and a month?
According to Dr. Dan Fisher, Associate Professor of Innovation & Entrepreneurship and the EPIC@Bear faculty mentor for this event, this model "forces people to make their ideas tangible and take them to market so they can quickly and cheaply learn about what works and what doesn't."
Teams completing the challenge were Kallie's Kards, led by Kallie Benedict and Purple Pride Photography, led by Zachary Hull. Both teams were composed primarily of freshman and sophomore students, greatly impressing the judges with their poise and professionalism. "The transformation in just one month was incredible to watch," says Fisher.
Dr. Ron Duggins (Assistant Professor of Innovation & Entrepreneurship), Mr. Bill Doshier (Marketing & Management Executive-in-Residence) and College of Business Dean Michael Hargis served as judges for the event. The Norris Taylor Residential College Fund provided cash awards to the businesses based on research, presentation, and potential.

London's ultimate luxury shopping destination,
Westfield Shepherd's Bush, has joined forces with Northampton Museum and Art
Gallery to create My Favourite Shoe, a ground breaking exhibition showcasing
leading shoe designers from UK. The exhibition will run at the destination
London shopping centre from 11-29 September. My Favourite Shoe explores how
vintage shoes inspire and influence contemporary designers, with interviews
about the designers' work, design process and inspiration.
This exhibition showcases some of the most exciting
contemporary shoe designers working in UK: Atalanta Weller, Camilla Skovgaard,
Joanne Stoker, Mr. Hare and Sophie Cox. They selected a favourite shoe from the
Northampton Museums and Art Gallery archive and paired it with a shoe from
their own collection, illustrating the links between current shoe design and
the internationally designated shoe collection at Northampton Museums and Art
The pop up is part of a wider
drive - dubbed The Cinderella Syndrome - to raise awareness of the Northampton
shoe heritage collection and make it accessible to new audiences by taking
items from the collection into non-museum venues.

Thanks mate. Probably the tire I will go with.
I think they are good tires. Good all around traction, should last a few years of driving.
Many don't buy them just because here the prices are a little higher because it's a higher quality tire.
bridgestone turanza serenity plus, any good or junk? theres a deal in a local firestone for these.


text: I really need help here. Call it writers block but I am all out of inspiration. So the client gave me a word document showing a rough idea of the design he wanted. I then designed it up. (Attached picture "Word concept" LEFT, My Design RIGHT). I have attached his critique below but in my head I just cant work out how it will look, any help would be appreciated! CRITQUE " LOGO For the PRODUCT AVENUE logo, would you please create some concepts around my Brief, both on a New York street sign and free floating as just words on the left hand corner of the page. I like the font I have chosen in the Brief but welcome any suggestions on font choices. STREET SIGNS/MENUS As per my Brief, I prefer actual street sign pictures/photos from NY rather than ones that are created. We don't like them on the pole but free floating or like the pics in the Brief. Can you show me some variations please." Like I said, any help would be appreciated. Just pointers please :icon_smile:

Beware this Ryanair 'free tickets' scam sweeping social media
RYANAIR has warned customers of an online scam offering two free tickets to mark its 35th anniversary.
The budget airline took to its social media accounts to flag up the bogus "offer" doing the rounds online.
Their warning post featured an image of a what appeared to be a Ryanair boarding pass, including a url to "ryanair.com-freechance.com".
But the supposed ticket had a flight number for Qantas – a different airline – and a seat number that meant the customer would be sat on the wing of the plane.
On Twitter a spokesperson wrote: "Please be aware of an online scam offering free Ryanair tickets. This is not an offical promotion."
"Please be aware of an online scam offering free Ryanair tickets. This is not an official promotion."Ryanair
Responding to the tweet, one user said: "So many people are falling for this. Sad really."
Another user posting on Facebook wrote: "So seat K would be on the wing then????"
It comes after Aer Lingus had to warn customers of a fake offer on August 10.
They said: "We're aware of an online scam offering free Aer Lingus tickets.
"This is NOT an official Aer Lingus promotion."

text: Received my g2 last week, and speeds are no better than my g1...I'm in san diego where the new network is in effect, so I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that I'm still using my g1 sim card instead of the new one that came with the g2. Years ago I wasn't able to get service at all in the las vegas area because of an out of date sim card so I'm thinking this is a definite possibility. Any input?

The Red Wings have backed the Lightning into a corner after taking a 3-2 lead in the first-round series with a 4-0 victory Saturday in Tampa Bay. Desperate for a win Monday to force Game 7 and avoid elimination, Lightning coach Jon Cooper has voiced his concern about Detroit's use of interference and the advantage it gives them.
"There are 30 teams in the league and nobody does (interference) more than the Detroit Red Wings, hands down," Cooper said, via the Tampa Bay Times. "The old saying is, 'If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.' They do it to a 'T'.
MORE: Capitals, Islanders gearing up for Game 7 | Blues collapse nothing new
"My message to our guys is you've got to suck it up, got to fight through it. And if they're bringing it, you've got to bring a gun to a knife fight. That's how it has to go. So to get on them, we have to be better."
The Lightning scored a league-high 262 goals in the regular season (3.19 per game) but have been held to 10 by the Red Wings in the first five games of the first-round series.
Red Wings forward Drew Miller was quick to dismiss Cooper's comments, saying the objective has been to offset the Lightning's speed.
"They might not be happy with what we're doing, but usually when things make someone not happy they're effective, so I don't know if that's a penalty or what they're thinking it is, but it's the way we play, and I don't see it changing," Miller said. "Maybe he's just trying to rile his guys or put a thought in the referees' heads or something, I'm not sure. It's just a situation that I'm not really worried about."
Detroit will host Tampa Bay for Game 6 on Monday at 7 p.m. ET. If the Lightning can hold on, they will host the Red Wings for Game 7 on Wednesday.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!

Singer and former Disney star Christina Aguilera has been arrested for suspected public intoxication.
According to a report by TMZ, the star was described as being "extremely intoxicated" and "unable to take care of herself".
Thirty-year-old Aguilera and her boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, 25, were spotted in the early hours of 1 March "driving erratically".
The pair were pulled over immediately and arrested.
They were taken to the Sheriff's substation in West Hollywood, where Matthew was charged for driving under the influence.
Chief public information officer for the L.A. Sheriff's Department, Steve Whitmore, spoke at a press conference and described the situation as "unique":
"When she got out of the car, she couldn't stand. We had to help her stand.
"She didn't know where she was and she didn't know her own address. We took her into custody for her own protection.
"She was co-operative and she was not belligerent in any way whatsoever. She was just intoxicated"
Aguilera has now been released without charge and Rutler's bail has reportedly been set at $30,000.
This is just the latest in a series of embarrassing events for the star.
She was forced to apologise for mixing up the words to the National Anthem during her performance at the Super Bowl on 6 February.
Aguilera also tripped and fell on the floor at the Grammy's while taking part in a tribute to R & B legend Aretha Franklin.

text: This might be a question for the Green Room battery guys... but it's gear related... but it's not "wood gear"... Each year my mower (Deere 757 ZTrak) sits out the winter in a shed, which is dry but cold. I have never done anything with the battery other than just leave it in the mower. Every year, someone tells me that battery will be dead by spring, but every spring I go out and fire up the mower, and it just starts with no trouble. Now, maybe I shouldn't mess with what's been working, but my FIL gave me a battery maintainer last week. I'm thinking of hooking it to the ZTrak for the winter, but have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that this will be the thing that finally kills my battery. What do the experts say?

The first responsibility of nonprofit directors, officers, and managers is to make decisions that ensure that their organization's scarce resources are used in the most effective and efficient way possible to accomplish its mission. Failure to do so can be catastrophic, not only for the organization, but for the individuals responsible as well. When confronted, however, with the maze of complex regulations, shifting priorities, and remote but foreseeable risks that attend every nonprofit decision, how can anyone make such choices with confidence?
A Desktop Guide for Nonprofit Directors, Officers, and Advisors offers a comprehensive overview of the legal, accounting, and financial issues that nonprofit directors and managers must grapple with every day. It provides the solid foundation that decision makers need to ask the right questions, understand the answers, and determine the best possible course of action in any situation.
Author Jack Siegel explains the duties and responsibilities that come with the territory and shows readers how to read and analyze tax statements, obtain and maintain federal tax-exempt status, report and substantiate charitable contributions, and comply with state registration and reporting requirements, including Internet solicitation. Siegel also explores such issues as fundraising, pledges, and endowments; identifying and protecting against event and operational liabilities; director and officer indemnification and insurance; operational insurance; and risk management.
Other important topics covered include:
Peppered with practical examples from a wide range of nonprofits, including social services agencies, schools, religious organizations, arts groups, museums, and foundations, A Desktop Guide for Nonprofit Directors, Officers, and Advisors is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to make better decisions, avoid both organizational and personal liabilities, and ensure that the nonprofit organization delivers on its promises to donors and regulators alike.

Stayed here on our drive from Michigan to New Jersey.
We were quite tired. We got a queen room and a room with 2 doubles. The queen bed was beyond bad. It was hard as a rock, and if either of us moved the slightest bit it shook and rocked. It was not a good night sleep.
We like a cool room to sleep in, but the ac/heat unit in the room only allowed heat. No fan or cooler temp setting in November. We put it on the lowest heat setting and hoped for the best. It wasn't terrible.
The bathroom was small with no room to lay out a toiletry kit. The shower was pitiful. It peed on us. The shower openings were clearly encrusted and blocked with hard water deposits. Clean them out?
The hotel appeared to be generally clean. They were updating some rooms and doors were propped open and they appeared used but not cleaned up. The breakfast was not bad, but we did not stay for a long breakfast. Just grabbed a few things and left.
Check-in was terrible. It was late - around 11:00pm and we were all tired with sleepy teens. It took at least 25 min. to get checked in - maybe a little longer. The clerk did not seem to be in any hurry to get us situated.

Henry Cavill Talks "JUSTICE LEAGUE" Script And George Miller Rumor
Last week, a rumor started floating around the internet, saying that Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller would work alongside Zack Snyder as a producer for Justice League. However, in an interview with MTV News this weekend, Henry Cavill (Superman) himself debunked those rumors:
"I've heard nothing so far."
When asked to share his thoughts about the upcoming Justice League movies, Cavill responded:
"Absolutely! We're talking about Justice League here! It's the DC Cinematic Universe finally getting its chance to really grow in this one and I think all the characters are fantastic."
You can check out the full interview below, where The Man Of Steel also talks a little bit about the highly anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

A Newsy Tossed Salad
Translation: A Manly Man's Bangle Bracelet
Bill Prince, a deputy editor of GQ, has explored the rise of the "mangle." He tells the 'Scoop that "the men's bangle bracelet is the latest contender in men's accessories." Prince's pick as the best of the bunch? The Leatherman Tread bracelet.
Leatherman is an Oregon-based multi-tool company that produces a pocket knife that makes the Voctorinox look anemic. It incorporates every screwing, cutting, adjusting and measuring implement known to man in a Transformer's idea of a pocket-knife. They've come up with Tread, a wrist-borne device laden with all these handy tools that snaps on like a sturdy watch.
Tread is on-trend wearable technology plus style that's a piece of jewelry even a Special Forces vet should feel comfortable with. Leatherman's Tread bracelet is available online at leatherman.com from $165.00. Sounds like a holiday shopping solution to us!buy something and you haven't worn it in three days, it's unlikely you're going to wear it. If you weren't that excited to wear it the next day, you weren't that excited to wear it to begin with," Rogien explained. "If you haven't worn it in seven days, you're definitely not going to wear it, so make sure you return it in fourteen. Get it out of your life within 14 days or you're never going to return it."
It's fascinating, but it totally makes sense. If you don't feel excited to wear an item you just purchased, it's probably not going to make you feel excited when you open your closet a few days later.
Interesting? Definitely take this rule into consideration the next time you go shopping.
