Former state Assemblywoman Lori Saldana is in the race to unseat Rep. Brian Bilbray for the newly created 52nd Congressional District seat.
Saldana, 52, said Tuesday her campaign will focus on environmental issues she is known for championing as well as and health care, including resisting privatization or weakening of Medicare benefits.
"I know I have the skills and experience to push back against draconian proposals," said Saldana, who had earlier said she would run for the state Senate. "The fact is Brian Bilbray is out of touch and not engaged with the community."
Bilbray campaign consultant Duane Dichiara fired back, saying Saldana's three terms in the state Assembly from 2004 to 2010 were marked by anti-business votes. Saldana was a co-author of the state's controversial greenhouse gas legislation.
"Lori Saldana spent the last several years in Sacramento voting against small business and making it harder to do business in California. Now she wants to take that to Washington and that's a bad idea."
The national Republican and Democratic parties each view the new 52nd District as one of the key battleground districts in California. The district is nearly evenly split between Republicans and Democrats and nearly one-third of its voters are registered as independents.
Bibray and Saldana, a former community college instructor, both reside in the Clairemont area of the district.
Saldana grew up that area. Her father was a career Marine who later became a newspaper reporter.
She is among the first of a host of incumbents and prospective candidates to lay out plans for the 2012 congressional and state legislative elections after the state's Citizens Redistricting Commission gave final approval Monday to new districts.
The remapping mandated by state voters and intended to create more competitive and geographically logical districts changes the political landscape for numerous lawmakers and prospective challengers in North San Diego and Southwest Riverside counties.
Barring any challenges that delay their implementation or alter the boundaries, the new districts for North County and Southwest Riverside County are:
---- 42nd: Stretches from Norco to FrenchValley and includes the cities of Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake,Menifee and Murrieta. Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona, has announced hewill run for the right to represent the new district. He hasrepresented the Corona area since winning election to the House ofRepresentatives in 1992.
---- 49th: Begins south of Solana Beach andextends along the coast north to include Encinitas, Carlsbad,Oceanside, Vista and Camp Pendleton as well as the Orange Countycities of San Clemente, Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano.Six-term Rep. Darrell Issa is the only announced candidate for theseat.
---- 50th: Represents inland areas of San DiegoCounty east to Imperial County starting in Jamul to the south andencompassing Ramona, Escondido, San Marcos, Valley Center,Fallbrook and includes Temecula in Southwest Riverside County.Two-term Republican Duncan Hunter has announced he will run for theseat which under the new maps is considered the safest GOP districtin the state.
---- 52nd: Starts in Coronado, goes up to theLa Jolla region and then turns inland to include Miramar MarineCorps Air Station and the surrounding area and Poway.
The Redistricting Commission gave final approval to the congressional, state Assembly, Senate and Board of Equalization maps on Monday.
The state Republican Party is considering backing a referendum to put the maps up to a public vote while some Latino groups say they may seek a U.S. Justice Department review. Either move could result in the state Supreme Court publishing a set of maps for the 2012 elections.
Individuals and groups have until Sept. 29 to file a challenge to any of the maps directly to the state Supreme Court.
The GOP is primarily upset with the state Senate districts, contending the maps approved by the commission give an unfair advantage to Democrats.
Republicans are particularly concerned that a Democratic pickup of a handful of legislative seats would give that party a more than two-thirds majority in the Assembly and Senate and prevent the GOP from having any voice on budget issues.
A new Senate district for North County and Southwest Riverside County is the 28th, which includes Temecula and Murrieta and is vacant.
In North County, the new 36th District stretches from Encinitas to well into coastal Orange County and is represented by Republican Mimi Walters.
North County also has the 38th District, which includes Poway, Escondido and San Marcos. That area is now represented by the GOP's Joel Anderson and Mark Wyland, who is termed out when his current term expires.
North County also is part of the new 39th, which runs from Coronado to Solana Beach along the coast. The area is now represented by Democrats Christine Kehoe and Juan Vargas.
Kehoe is termed out in 2012 and Vargas is expected to seek the congressional seat representing eastern San Diego and Imperial counties that Democrat Bob Filner is giving up to run for mayor of San Diego.

Absolutly where's striving for that. We want this to be as seemless as possible.
I'm right there with you. But the thing is, I'd like a lot of the benefits and options I see in React and Vue. If this gets pulled off the way we hope, then we get the best of both worlds (or close to it).
This move to a Blaze2 over Vue is us thinking of all the people that invested in Blaze. It's the reason we are trying this approach at all. Try to keep compatibility with existing Blaze projects, at the same time, get all the features and performance of a modern front end framework like Vue. Let's hope it works out for the best.
Yes, I have asked him, this is his response:
Indeed. And it's growing in popularity and features.
Well, if this were to support Blaze's syntax, I see no reason why it should not.
But who knows, because by the time Meteor 1.5+ come out, its kind of unknown whats going to happen with all the existing packages...
And that one dev worth xx devs. Beating React and Angular 2 in term of performance is such accomplishment. We should consider quality rather than quantity.
Reading github issue, it look like just replacing Spacebar Compiler with Vue Compiler so then Vue will take care rendering part. Therefore, Blaze will take advantage of Vue rendering performance.
So you use Blaze as you know it, with Vue for rendering
There are also community core developers working on Vue.
For me the biggest reason I want to see the continuation of Blaze is that it would be too much work for me to migrate my current production Blaze app to Vue/React or anything else.
You should be able to create Meteor apps the old way with the last version of the experimentation with Blaze-style events map. Some Spacebars tags and other things like data context, helpers params and passing props are not implemented yet, but it has new features thanks to Vue.
If it can be compatible with blaze 1.0 I am all for it. However I just spent a good amount of time trying to make a project in feathers and vue and ultimately fell back to doing it in meteor. Mainly I needed to use many jquery components and it wasn't straightforward at all on integrating them into vue. In meteor its very easy to do. For me if I can't integrate easily with components that already exist then I don't really care if it's a bit faster. I don't want to recreate components like select2, datatables, etc. Not to mention all the great things in blaze like autoforms and simple schema, etc. If all this stuff works like it already does in blaze then great, but be very careful about backwards compatibility. Its the one thing that is really worrying me about meteor and made me try those other two franeworks in the first place. I would take speed and ease of coding over a faster framework any day. After all most of the projects we work on never actually hit performance issues. If they do we should be making enough money to be able to fix them.
I agree. Blaze 1.0 compatibility is a must. And - at least for me - this would also mean, that most of the cool existing Blaze extensions should still work as expected. For instance, I am heavily using aldeed's template-extension which allows to overload certain templates. This comes in very handy if you have a core product with several spring-offs for different customers.
I will put my 2 cents here as an "experienced" Vue developer and teacher... Ok, the project history is in its early stages compared to other frameworks, but with almost one year using Vue I think I'm there enough time to say something.
The evolution between Vue 1 and 2 was amazing! All the things that React made us open our eyes to, are now on Vue 2, better than in React IMHO (more about it here). The community is growing faster than I could believe. Here in Brazil, currently we are translating the Vue documentation with help of the open source community, something I had already tried in the past with Meteor but with no success since we hadn't enough helpers.
I believe that in very small time we have reached a interesting markeshare and proudly attraction to Vue. During the same time, MDG shifted its priorities and Blaze has become more and more "old" and frozen. Since DDP is nice, Apollo is amazing, client-server reactivity is beautiful and Tracker does it well enough, it seems to me that the official frontend framework is the only thing that keeps Meteor "outdated" nowadays. Vue can definitely changes it positively!
If that idea grows up and matures in the future, I'll do my best to attract people from Vue community to Meteor. It'll be advantageous for both worlds!
I'm new to Meteor relatively. I've done a few small projects in it, and I'll be honest. It's what I was looking for over a few years.
I Love BlazeIt allows me to make sense of my front end, and use a really nice backend that just does things for me 'magically'. All things that I've done myself in NodeJS on my own, and with a lot of effort and time, and now it literally takes me minutes to make changes that might otherwise take hours or days.
A HUGE part of that is Blaze. I love it. It is so easy to pick up and start to understand. This community is amazing in helping with it's use, and it has seriously allowed me to jump into some large projects with far less time and effort, but still amazing results.
I want Meteor to Continue and Grow, but...I want to see this project to continue forward and grow in popularity. I'm hoping that I can convince the dev team at my work (where I work as a Product Manager) to start using meteor for some of our enterprise level work.
That means, however, they'll want something fairly new and up to date, well maintained, but also something where they feel confident in it's longevity.
Not a React FanI've seen it, tried it, done tutorials on it, and honestly, I'm not impressed. I think it's a lot of hype because Facebook "made it". I really don't like trying to combine dom and javascript in the way they do it.
The Angular TrainAngular is interesting....I really didn't like the Angular 1.x stuff, and Angular 2 has made some vast improvements, but still, it's just not something I like. It seems laggy and slow, and maybe that's just my perception, but it is wha it is.
Please keep Blaze backward compatibleWhatever you do, please keep the next phase of Blaze (be it Blaze 2, Vue, or whatever) backward compatible, and as beautifully simple and powerful as it has been. If you can improve on that, then Awesome!
Finally, a big THANK YOUTo everyone who works so diligently on these amazing projects, libraries, plug-ins, frameworks, and everything Meteor - THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! You are amazing, incredible people.
Thanks @ErickPetru for the thoughtful post.
Personally, I think the next step is the meteor guide, we need a VueJS chapter there. This will benefit both communities.
I also believe that having Blaze style wrapper is not a bad thing. It would be great for newbies and help transition of a large group of developers (based on surveys more than half developers on this forum - the silent majority)
+1 on making Vue like React/Angular/Blaze: as a first-class citizen.
Lovely thread, I'll enjoy following this
I'd say backwards compatibility with the Blaze/Handlebars syntax is huge. We've got a large app, and we simply cannot invest resources in migrating to either React or Vue syntax right now. So for adoption, keeping the old syntax is an enormous factor.
I completely agree. MDG should invest the same amount of resources they invested into making React work well with Meteor.
Just a thought. Shouldn't the powers that be reached out to Evan and get his input on all of this? He did work at MDG for some time and is the one who started the vue framework. So he should be able too say with some authority what is and isn't feasible.
Like most young developers I came to meteor because of Blaze. Without it most of the people who use Meteor today would NOT be using it. I think it would be unwise to move forward with vuejs and leave Blaze 1.0 behind.
As it stands now most of the Meteor hype has died down and the cracks/splits in the community is now evident. You have the Meteor React camp, the Meteor Angular camp, the Meteor Blaze camp and now the Meteor Vuejs camp is getting started .
To those who have production apps out there running on Blaze, has any of your paying clients ever come to you and said "Hey can you switch to (React, Angular, Vuejs) or we are going to take our business and go elsewhere?"
I say the folks managing the Blaze repo get a list of the top 10 bugs and top 10 features folks need in Blaze and see what's easier to do, implement them or switch to a Vuejs hybrid.
Blaze isn't perfect but its simplicity is unsurpassed and sacrificing it in the eternal chase of perfection isn't what Meteor needs right now (which is DB support other than Mongo )
Just my 2c.
I've been using Meteor since 2013 (yes, way back in the early v0.x days).
I have no idea why people go crazy over React and Angular. I've used both, and they both, frankly, suck.
It's like we don't appreciate what we have with Blaze. It's so easy to use and simple, that we underestimate how powerful it is. But the simplicity of it is what makes it great! And the way that React combines Javascript with dom - yuck!
We're forgetting why we picked up Meteor in the first place. Meteor wouldn't be what it is without Blaze. But I think the people in this thread agree with this, and I'm glad to see so many people (finally) speak out about it.
With that being said, I don't really care what is going on under the hood. Blaze's rendering engine can be Vue for all I care, as long as we do not abandon the patently "Blaze" developer experience.
I totally agree and support the argument here.
Sorry for not contributing anything substantial here, but instead of calling it Blaze2, wouldn't the name Bluez be just great?

I'm happy to share the map that will be in the final book of my epic fantasy series, The Bringer Trilogy! Having grown up with the art of the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, I've always wanted to see a map of Lynden and Jonathen's world. I hope it helps readers follow their journey.
Live Long and Prosper, J.R.
Bringer of Lore launched in February 2016. You can find it at https://amzn.com/B01C66G306 or at Reader's World in Lee's Summit, MO. Here's the blurb:

Forced to enter a foreign court as a noblewoman of Arten, Lynden battles intrigue and politics to discover Jazmin's intended target. Culminating in a deathly trial set by the mad prophet, Lynden must keep her friends alive and reach a book meant only for her. But time is running out.
I am currently prepping my plot for the final book in the Bringer Trilogy for Camp NaNoWriMo in July. It should be out in Winter 2017. I've ordered a map, so I will post it soon!

Book Blurb: Cowboys and gunslingers meet wizards in this high fantasy set in a world inspired by the American Wild West. Silas Vendine is a mage, a bounty hunter authorized to hunt down renegade wizards. He's also a freedom fighter, committed to protecting the non-magical people of the Wildings from the overreaching ambitions of the mages. It's a dangerous life, and Silas knows it. Still, when he comes to the town of Bitterbush Springs, he finds far more trouble and excitement than he bargained for…
Silas is on the hunt for a renegade mage who has brought Bitterbush Springs to the brink of open warfare. In the aftermath of a shootout, he meets Lainie Banfrey, a young woman who is both drawn to and terrified of her own developing magical abilities.
Silas and Lainie team up to stop the lawless mage who has torn Lainie's hometown apart. Their hunt takes them deep beneath forbidden lands held by the hostile A'ayimat, where only Lainie's untamed, untrained gifts can save them from the rogue mage and the dark power he has discovered.

Review: This book had me from page one. It has fantasy, mystery, and western with a great romance plot throughout. The intrigue kept me turning the page, and the well-developed characters made me care about what would happen next.
The plot was evenly paced, and it pulls you along to the end where you will immediately need to buy book two. There are western shootouts and farm hands looking out for their boss's daughter. There were other magical races with an interest in one of the main characters. And there is a romance that changes the course of two character's lives.
Lainie is a well-developed character with layers and competing motivations. She's stubborn and loyal as all heroes tend to be. She's not one to wait around to be rescued, but if she does need help she joins in to help her would be rescuers. She's spent her life being told that magic is bad and Mages are soulless, but she believes in herself and trusts her instincts in the face of all she has ever been taught. She's young and naive, but also strong and insightful.
The magic system is well thought out. The magic has a color/essence and leaves an energy residue. It also has a cost and can be depleted. An overlord style mage council controls the bloodlines and procreation of Mages. The Mage School is used to break them and remake them into something unrecognizable. I can't wait to learn more about the secret council, and the underground movement to protect plain folk (muggles).
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed Brandon Sanderson's The Allow of Law.

Tryndamere Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey guy's, Duff here.

This one's fairly straightforward, and I can't take full credit for it either.
However, I can tell you it's MIND NUMBING how effective this is. I haven't ever played anything like it. It's entirely satisfying the way you crush every lane and how easy it feels doing it, and yet simultaneously how high of a skill cap a champion like Tryndamere has, allowing you to play skillfully, and kill cleanly and easily.
There's a bit of a story behind this build and the accompanying strategy here...
It's derived from a build and a concept used and created by a high elo (2200 roughly, he was top 10 not long ago) player who plays under the IGN of Q1imax. I don't use his exact runes/masteries, I don't even 100% follow his build order, but it's really similar and functions VERY smoothly and powerfully.
All he told me was that he generally has Infinity Edge before minute 20. I assume this means he goes Berserker's Greaves -> Infinity Edge, but I could be wrong. I would think at least a Vampiric Scepter would be a nice pick up before the Infinity Edge. as a solo laner.
I personally prefer Berserker's Greaves / Vampiric Scepter / Zeal / Infinity Edge, and I'll go over these items more later.
Now, what he and I did discuss in depth was Heal / Ignite. He called it his "Cheese" that he was running. And he went 25 wins out of 30 games when playing with the top level of players.
I've personally run it a good 50 times now, and I have literally never lost with it. I only ever lost 1 lane but we still won the game. I've run a good hundred custom game match ups and only lost 2-3 of them.
So how does it work, and why does it work?
I can't speak for Q1imax here, but I can tell you how it's worked for me personally.
Why take Heal/Ignite? *Important*
Heal and Ignite are currently the BEST summoners for Tryn.
They are BETTER than Ghost Ignite and BETTER then Cleanse Ignite
Many people ask me, why? What if they Exhaust you or CC you? Isn't Cleanse Ignite better?
No, it isn't, it's just different.
Exhaust Ignite? Shouldn't that be better?
Exhaust Cleanse?
Again, no, they are different functions.
Let's consider Tryndamere for a moment. What is Tryndamere trying to accomplish?
He wants to farm. He also wants to get kills and snowball his lane.
If you take Cleanse/ Ignite, as Tryndamere you're gonna have to be tactful about your fights pre 6.
However, due to the nature of the solo top lane, if you can land a kill pre 6, there's a very real possibility that you will snowball the lane out of control.
Consider this. You kill your opponent at level 2-4. You catch him unaware on his tower with a Spinning Slash 1 crit and Ignite, eat 2 tower shots, pop Heal and walk away.
By the time you're 6, they are still 5, or even level 4. You kill them again using your ult. Then Ignite comes up, you base, buy gear, and you kill them again with ult + Ignite.
If you kill them 3 times in lane before they hit level 8, you will generally win the game. Not just the lane, the entire game. It sounds silly, but it's true. Their team is down a strong solo lane. Your team's solo is huge - and it's Tryndamere.
They try to gank you, your Heal is up, your items are big, and you kill one or both of your gankers while ult is up. The other has to run away.
This is all because of what Heal / Ignite allows you to do PRE LEVEL 6. Even if you don't kill them, you force them out of lane, you put them behind early, and when Tryndamere gets ahead, he stays ahead forever.
That is the aggressive early nature of Heal/ Ignite on Tryndamere. They set you up to win lane, and that sets you up to win the game.
In my experience, these summoners are superior to all other summoner spells for solo lane Tryndamere... Without a doubt. They are the core reason to why I've decided to make this guide, and I don't believe anything else at this current juncture will yield more profitable results.
I've tried crit and I've tried AD and I've tried it all, honestly it all works.
Personally, I've finally landed on a "No-BS" rune page of AD reds, AD quints, Armor yellows and MR blues, and I use this page every game now.
Q1imax uses the same page, the only difference being that he takes 6 ArP, and 3 flat AD reds.
As I said, almost anything works, be as creative as you like.
I take the same masteries every game, this never changes.
It's very straightforward AD carry style masteries.
I've seen Chaox take Havoc instead of Vampirism on his ranged AD carries where a support is healing him but, but we're taking the life steal because it's too good and because sustain "Es Opie~"
Just run down the line of offense, nothing in the AD half of this tree will betray you as Tryndamere.
Utility for death timers and move speed is the world's greatest thing ever. Nothing else is better, seriously. A bit of armor and HP will be outclassed all game by death timers and move speed. We still get our improved Heal however with Summoner's Resolve , because that's a major part of our trick.
The only thing you could even remotely argue would be a 24/6 or a 24/4/2 or something, where you take Havoc and some armor instead of the movespeed and death timers (Not worth it)
Skill order?
Why take Q Bloodlust first?
Well, it supports the entire idea.
You level Q Bloodlust, and you go attacking minions. You MUST hit level 2 first, and build your rage bar to full before level 2.
You will clear one full wave, and kill ONE more minion from the next wave, and hit level 2.
1 full wave + 1 minion = level 2.
At this time, you will level your Spinning Slash, and immediately E Spinning Slash onto them (I smartcast my E Spinning Slash) and try to land a crit or two. If they get in range of death from ignite, land your kill with the Ignite. If not, wait, zone, and if they try to farm, do it again and land the kill with Ignite.
If you get low HP, use Heal. I will often take 1-2 tower shots and use my ignite and Heal to safely land the kill with no strings attached.
I take one point in W Mocking Shout at level 4, chiefly for the slowing, and Power level my Q Bloodlust first, and then E Spinning Slash next.
Why? Because I killed them once at levels 2-4, and I intend to maximize my damage so I can continue to kill them again and again. They are behind me, I am strong, I'm not worried about their damage, I'm gonna be diving them in most instances (Unless jungle camps top, which he will learn do to) and that means lowering their damage is useless, since most of it will come from tower. Better to maximize damage and land more kills. A lower CD spin is safety in a sense as well.
If a lane were potentially threatening to me, I'd consider maxing W Mocking Shout, but due to the nature of what I am doing here with the goal being landing repeated kills on my opponent, maxing E Spinning Slash is much better when it comes to functionality, and smoothly landing kills, one after the other, with almost no chance of missing those necessary kills.
Because we use the Heal Summoner, we are safe to maximize our damage potential with our skills. Keep in mind that Spinning Slash has both offensive and defensive uses and as you level it up the CD lowers substantially. With enough crit, and a level 5 Spinning Slash you'll essentially be spinning around constantly. It's the best skill to max after your Q when using Heal and Ignite on Tryndamere.
Now as previously mentioned, I never did discuss in depth with Q1imax what items he used, but these builds are my personal answer to the thing I've come into contact with. They work, and they work very well.
My "bread and butter" build for Tryndamere is VERY simple. It is as follows.
Berserker's Greaves.
Life steal item.
Infinity Edge.
That's it. No too hard right? In fact, in most games I legitimately never even get the chance to finish I.E. They surrender at B.F. sword, generally speaking.
Note; If I have Berserker's Greaves - Vampiric Scepter - Zeal - and B.F. sword complete, at this point I begin buying Green pots and keep them active for the duration of the match generally speaking.
What do I do when I'm against an annoying problem like Riven, Garen, or Renekton?
I kill them.
If I can't kill them, snowball the lane and use my bread and butter build, well, we now have a problem.
LUCKILY, all 3 of these champions can be countered, and luckily, the same counter works for all 3.
Next buy your life steal, either Vampiric Scepter. DO NOT FINISH Wriggle's Lantern!~!~!
In these lanes vrs Riven, Renekton, or Garen, IMMEDIATELY after your Vampiric Scepter, buy a Chain Vest, Berserker's Greaves and then finish Atma's Impaler against these opponents. What's that? You think it's inefficient to build Atma's Impaler that early? *Sticks tongue out* NOT IN THESE LANES IT ISN'T. You shut down your opponent, you give Tryndamere MORE crit, and you add a little more AD into the mix. It is a counter purchase, designed to even further shut your lane down for a low price.
Build Zeal next or Wriggle's Lantern here.
At this point, you may opt to finish Wriggle's Lantern, the Zeal, or you may decide instead to build a Blood Thirster out of the Vamp, it's up to you.
Get an Infinity Edge ASAP after the core items used, to shut down your opponents forever.
The 3rd build is really very simple.
It ends with a Blood Thirster for mega deeps.
Build 4 is self explanatory.
Do they have CC?
Bread and Butter build + Quiksilver sash. Gets the job done, cheap an effectively!
Build 5 is even more self explanatory.
Awww... Armor... Awwww... You bought 150+ armor to counter me in lane phase? Awww I bet that cost you like 3k gold, cute little thing.
*Buy Last Whisper early for 2k*
Optional Items?
Good optional item's might include...
Frozen Mallet
Guardian Angel
Sword of the Occult
The Bloodthirster
Tiamat (No I'm not trolling you. Think about it... Just think about it)
Trinity Force
The Brutalizer
Youmuu's Ghostblade
The Black Cleaver
Madred's Bloodrazor
Executioner's Calling
Zeke's Harbinger
Spirit Visage
Now keep in mind these are not in the main builds for a reason, and I don't generally recommend most of these items.
Tryn is fairly easy to understand. Make every crit count, and crit often.
Don't get CC'd.
Damage and Quiksilver sash is all you need to build, but if you wanna get crazy, these are some items to consider anyway.
Play style of Heal Ignite Tryndamere?
Kill them at level 2 if you can. Or 3.
Kill them whenever they get desperate enough to try to get CS. Kill them.
Kill them, always and forever!
Don't miss any CS, but kill them!
Once you've killed them, get some CS, base, and buy your Vampiric Scepter. BUY TWO WARDS AT THIS TIME.
No matter how many times you kill them, don't break their tower yet. You want to become super man before you break that tower. Their tower is what's protecting you and causing them to be vulnerable and lose a lot of CS when you either kill them or cause them to base.
DON'T BREAK THE TOWER and tell your jungler not to break it. If he ignores you, tell him not to come top anymore. Insult his family line, do something to make him go away. You are STRONKOMERE, you don't need jungle ganks when you're winning, maximize your win potential by having your jungler dominate the other lanes while you take care of yours.
When you are huge and feel capable of WINNING 1v2's, and/or when mid tower falls, break top and seize control of the upper part of the map and their jungle. If you break tower too early, you'll need to buy two-four wards, one at their blue and one at their jungle exit to baron to safe from potential ganks (Or one at red and one closer down to their AP, depending on which side you're on. It' harder for Blue side to ward top enough to be safe for pushing. Purple lane has the advantage vrs the blue solo lane all game long). If you wait for mid to fall, you can buy only one ward and place it at the lower corner of the bush at their blue buff to gain sight from all potential paths of entry.
If you choose to down top first, use that to your advantage. Go gank mid from time to time if you're feeling strong and have your ulti, or go steal their jungle a bit. If you find a jungler in there, farm him as well! You're a highly mobile champ with a strong slow and the ability to dive towers if the situation calls for it and the kill is there. If you do it correctly, and time where their jungler is, you can start to swing the game in your favor.
If you do it wrong, their jungler shows up right as you dive, and you die for free. Don't be that guy. Use map awareness as one of your weapons, just as strong as your summoner skills.
You have to take some educated risks, because as a kill champion who can be shut down in team fights with CC, you'd prefer to win the game before the team fight phase ever comes around.
The type of player who sits back afraid and farms passively and sits back and never makes "Game winning plays" will never be truly successful in League. You have to be the aggressor, you have to be the play maker. You have to be one step ahead of your opponent, and try to get your team on the same page.
That is the fine line that separates Bad players from Average players, Average players from Good players, and Good players from Great players. What kinds of plays do you make each game to win your game? You can have all the CS in the world and group in all the right places and it does not mean ****, and it means even less when you play a kill thirsty champion like Tryndamere. You have to make the plays that win the game to be a great player.
Those plays are different with every champion. Cho for example, flashing and landing a nice pop up on retreating opponents at minute 30-40 can mean towers, inhibs, and a free Baron. With Tryndamere, making plays means driving your opponent into the ground, and getting 10 kills by the end of lane phase. All the best Tryndamere players are hyper aggressive and get lots of kills. That doesn't happen on accident.
Intelligent aggression wins games!
Landing kills.
Landing kills in lane phase earns your team three important advantages.
1; Gold in your pocket
2; Your opponent is not farming or getting kills during this entire time that they are dead and returning to lane
3; Map presence. Any time your team has more players active on the map, you have an advantage. Any time your team has less players active on the map, that is time spent at a disadvantage, meaning less objective control, less gold income, less map control in general.
Due to those 3 factors, if you can successfully land consecutive kills, you're literally winning the game bit by bit just by crushing one lane. Focus will be shifted towards top lane, and if they don't react in time, you will be big enough that their attempts to shut you down will be unsuccessful or even backfire. I will be ganked after a kill or two, and result in killing 1-2 of them often using this strategy.
Be careful about lvl 2-4 ganks, but once you have ulti, the whole name of the game changes.
This is why landing kills is so effective, it effectively accomplishes the three most desirable goals of lane phase.
Gold income for your team.
Shutting down their solo lane's gold and experience.
Map control and therefore objective. (They can't get dragon if they're trying to get the Tryndamere. The Tryndamere that their solo lane cannot fight 1v1 even under tower.)
Match ups?
This is the ironic joy here...
Tryndamere does have counters, and he does lose some lanes.
Ryze and Olaf for example historically beat Tryndamere, although they are workable. Lee Sin is the hardest counter to Tryndamere, you might consider banning him if you plan to play Tryndamere.
However, with Heal and Ignite, you get to "break" the rules. With enough early aggression, you can even win those lanes using Heal and Ignite if you land an early kill, which sets you up to win lane, and thusly the game.
Learn your dangerous match ups, play them wisely, and you can win almost any lane using this set up properly. If there are any free lose match ups I will list them in the future, but so far I have only lost a few lanes using this strategy, I could count them on one hand.
As far as I know right now, Lee Sin, Ryze and Olaf are bad for Tryndamere, and people tell me Malphite is bad as well, but I'll have to run it more. So far, I tend to just kill them early and it's not an issue. To be honest, I beat almost every Olaf I come into contact with when I play Tryndamere, and I beat every Tryndamere that I come into contact with when I play Olaf. I think it's a skill match up.
Questions? Suggestions?
Please find me on Facebook/Twitter if you have any questions and contact me there, as I will not be updating these guides any longer or checking in to answer questions!
Sorry for the inconveniance, look forward to seeing your questions on Facebook and Twitter! =]
DuffTime Guarantee!
I know this build works, I've tested it in over 100 match ups in custom games, with some good players (And some bad ones) and played hundreds of games and rarely do I lose a match when I get my hands on Tryndamere.
I welcome all comers who would like to run a lane match up, I'm always eager to find out if a champion loses a lane!
The lay out is simple, we run a short custom game lane match up, to see who feels stronger in the lane and then I add this information into my guide after the results are taken. In my Olaf guide this resulted in a couple 1700-1900 players coming forward to test things, and my Olaf stood strong in all the matches, just as I anticipate my Tryndamere will stand strong too.
I've already beat several 2k+ players using this exact layout, and LOADS of 1800-1900 players. In my normal games I regularly face off against 1800-2k ranked players, as my normal elo is around 1900.
If you have a legit counter to Tryndamere, please PM me so we can run the match up and improve the accuracy of this guide! All champions have counters, I am just waiting for them to be shown to me so we can share this info with the future guide readers!
Thanks, and enjoy!
Hopefully you've learned and benefited from this guide and the information presented, and feel free to leave your thoughts in either PM's or in the comments section!
Special thanks to Q1imax for the inspiration and the core idea, he's the mastermind behind this, this is only my version of what he originally did!
I will continue to update this guide over time as I receive feedback for it.
I look forward to your thoughts, although I've tested extensively all the options available, and the perspective of a high Elo player, and bring to you what I truly believe to be the best options!
Cheers and good luck getting the pre-six kills with Heal and Ignite Tryndamere! :)

COLUMBUS, Ga.- This weekend dozens of people cast their ballots for the local leaders of the NAACP. Tonza Thomas was reelected as the president and Freddie Williams was reelected as the First Vice president of the NAACP. News 3 spoke with them to find out what's next for the organization.
Tonza Thomas ran against Rev. Walter Taylor for President of the Columbus NAACP.
She won by a vote of 32 to 13.
Thomas says despite the low number of votes, she's still pleased with the results.
"When I looked and I saw that 32 people voted for me, although it's a small number. I saw that 32 people came out to cast a ballot for me I was excited," said Thomas.
Freddie Williams, the reelected First Vice President, said he had a sigh of relief when the results came in.
He says his priority is serving the people of Muscogee County .
Williams said, "We know now that we can continue to move forward and we don't have to worry about people coming in and tearing down the work that we have already started.
Williams also says this term they will continue to fight for equality and justice for all.
"The NAACP is not a hate organization, but we will deal with hate and we will not run or back down from anybody," said Williams.
Thomas explains what the civil rights organizations plans are moving forward, "We plan on continuing our work with the Muscogee County jail project as well as going back and evaluating rapid resolution, which is a tool that we use with the Muscogee County Jail to make sure it isn't over crowded."

La Liga: Real Madrid beat Deportivo la Coruna 2-0
Madrid: Real Madrid bounced back from their 4-0 derby humiliation by Atletico Madrid last weekend with a 2-0 victory over Deportivo la Coruna to move four points clear at the top of La Liga on Saturday.
Karim Benzema
The hosts started nervously but could have been well in front at the break as Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale both struck the bar before Isco's curling effort opened the scoring.
Deportivo had their chances to level early in the second-half with Celso Borges hitting the post, but Karim Benzema put the result beyond any doubt with Madrid's second 17 minutes from time.
Barcelona can move back to within a point of the leaders when they host Levante on Sunday. "It wasn't an easy game. We only played well in parts and we had difficulties," admitted Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.

From Destiny's Palm - Poem by Savita Tyagi
From destiny's palm
Like a fledgling we eat
Have no doubt or qualm.
An unknown force
Capable of paving the way
In whatever way it wills
Like a light in pitch dark
Pulling us to tread on its path
Our will drawn to its direction
All our efforts in working
To meet the set destiny
At right time in right conditioning
Aided by our sense of fulfillment
We guard life's chosen votive of
Countless passion and desire
As a soldier with all his heart and might
Defends his post in a razing war
Carrying the orders of a knight.

Illustrated destiny is really much abstract to communicate. Actually we are very much aware of the next moment to come. That's also quiet unknown to us. So I don't bother of any such destiny, rather Almighty is much more easy to communicate with. If destiny also controlled by God, then point of attraction should be the supreme.....Simply I think this way.....Thank you, well written. (Report) Reply

Destiny controls us without our knowing it and we act as per the dictates of destiny! I am reminded of Omar Khayyam's lines.....
'The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
Great write Savita! (Report) Reply

It seems counterintuitive that we have to 'work' our way towards our inevitable future, but that's the way it is. (Report) Reply

Beautiful poem Savita. In one sense our destiny is written in our palms. But one should know the proper reading.
lines keeps on changing along with our destiny. But every thing takes place in our life at proper time and at proper place.......Loved reading it. (Report) Reply

that Nova is being quite the little post whore today?
Don't hate
I think that would have given it away that I am not.
ok....I'll be quiet. I won't post anymore. I won't attempt to enliven our boring forum....
no... enliven!! enliven!!!
Rob is not a postwhore.
A whore, possible...
A whore in Florida, definitely
A postwhore, never.
Motion to change "The Closet" ---> "NovaJock's (well lit) Corner?"
uhhhhhhhhhh no
I like it, perhaps a vote?
Enlivening the forum is good. I just found it funny that there were new threads out faster then I could read them!
Time for glasses old man.
I have glasses and Im only 25.

Reading the text would probably be easier if my screen size wasnt so damn big.
I didn't mean you, woman!
But it's ok if you want to tell me about your sex life.
Well you did quote me, thats why I responded.
There isnt much to talk about in my sex life other then the lack of it. Too bad too, for some reason, my drive has almost tripled in the last few weeks. I could be making somebody very, very happy right now.

Making tapioca pudding. The tapioca always turns out wrong.
more threads the better!
How I wish I could be doing something else instead.
he was making up for the lack of CoCo for the week...

From the video, you can see I've tried to parse the speech so that it can find the commands and devices even if the command is spoken differently. I used three different phrases:
I was trying to avoid having only simplistic commands like the last one. The first one demonstrates that ability to speak a command for multiple devices, and the ability to preface the command with "Can you" or pretty much anything like "The dog wants you to" ;) The 2nd command shows that it's not restricted to parsing "kitchen light" together. The last command is a typical HA VR command. My parser also has the ability to decode multiple commands in one, such as "Turn off the kitchen light, the guest bath fan and living room light and turn on the back floods." The only challenge is saying everything you want to say without much of a pause, otherwise recognition stops and the partial command will be sent.
A few advantages of using this setup:
A few more details. Using SL4A, I cannot control the default speech recognition sounds - it can get annoying after a while. I'm using Nova Launcher as my launcher instead of TouchWiz. Nova Launcher let's you remap the home key behavior on the home screen. When pressed, instead of showing the zoomed out view of all my screens, it kicks off the script. Also, my HA device database is stored in mySQL, which allows for powerful searches and easy matching of what's spoken to actual devices - even when the device name isn't exactly the same as what was spoken. I've been using the mySQL setup, IM interface and command parsing for many years now, (although the parsing was more primitive) so integration was extremely simple. At some point, I would like to implement NLTK, the Natural Language ToolKit, for more complex language processing.

The American dream — the idea that anyone can own their own home and do better than the previous generation with the right amount of hard work — has been fading for years, with rising house prices and stagnant wages. Now, people who want to achieve it may be better off seeking it in Canada, the U.K. or Denmark according to a new study published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
The study, authored by Raj Chetty, professor of economics at Stanford University, defined the concept as the ability for children born in the bottom fifth of income distribution to reach the top fifth. In the U.S. the likelihood of that is 7.5%, whereas in Canada children born in that group are twice as likely to rise to the top — at 13.5%. In the U.K. the likelihood of achieving that move from the bottom fifth to the top fifth is 9% and in Denmark it is 11.7%.
"When some people initially see these numbers, they sometimes react by saying, 'Even in Canada, which has the highest rates of upward mobility, the rate of success doesn't look all that high," Chetty wrote.

Ever want to feel like you're flying? Well let me introduce you to the Flying Fox. This is an exciting activity that challenges you to a different stage of fear that you probably have never personally experience before. Flying fox is located in Loola Resort and is like an upgraded version of the normal zip line you may have seen. Instead of just hanging until the people help you get down, you're landing straight into the salty pool that's been filled with ocean water. Although the water may seem cold, the heat from sensation of ziplining will surely warm you up. On the first look, you'll freak out, but trust me, you do not want to miss this activity. Everyone who tried would agree that this is one nerve wracking activity. As I climbed up the ladder and looked down, it was pretty frightening. In my opinion the worst part was standing on that platform and telling myself its time to jump. The cold, windy air didn't seem to help either. But when I finally did that leap of faith I couldn't forget the experience. However, if you're afraid of getting hurt, honestly don't be. Take risk and challenge yourself. Because if you're geared up and you have listened to the instructor carefully, all you'll be worrying about is not being able to go twice.
"Love you mom and dad!" – David Huynh
"Kangajew!" – Dinh Anh Truong
"AHHH!" The students scream lingered across the clear blue ocean surrounded by small islands. The Boom Net activity is something you do not want to miss out, because it made my friends and I real close. When I mean real close, I mean real close. Boom Net is when you're jumping off a platform into the empty water, but don't you worry, there's a net that will catch you from being pulled away. The Boom Net activity has two level, which you'll have to do level 1 on the deck before going to level 2, where all the fun happens. It's located in the middle of the ocean, which you'll be brought to by a smaller speedboat. They have picked a pretty good location for your safety because for sure you do not want to jump into rocks. To be honest, the experience made me felt like a fish from being caught in the net, but in a good way. It was pretty entertaining watching everyone get stuck together in that net. As the boat stride across the ocean, all of us were being pushed against each other. Some of us were holding onto each other and the end of the nets, while some of us were being pulled away to the other side. What's great about this activity is the unlimited turns, and you definitely would want to go as much as possible before the time is over.
"Rescue me, don't save him!" Don't leave me!" – J.S Jeon
"Cannonball!" – Kyu Hwan Choi
Let me introduce you to Changi Airport. In my opinion it is one of the best airports in the world. It is located in the amazing and very well developed country of Singapore. After those five days of mentally challenging yourself, you can finally shop and discover the stunning airport with your friends. The scenery is indescribably stunning with all the trees, and air with not even a single speck of dust. The airport itself is pretty overwhelming to be honest, because I can't make up my mind where to go first. It's filled with shops that people can die for and the outrageously delicious aroma of food is unbeatable. I won't be surprise if it were to be in the top ten airport around the world, because it's clean, modern, and very spacious. In my opinion, it was a work out trying to get to wherever I wanted to go. So far, it has to be in one of my favorite places out of all the places I have been too. Students really enjoyed their time at the airport because we were all suffering from Bintan's heat. Therefore it was a great way to relax, cool down and have fun. Singaporean citizens are quite lucky to have this heavenly airport. Enjoy and spend your time wisely here because by the end of everything, you will not want to leave one bit.

text: If you have read some of my posts you know I really want my wife to cheat on me, especially with a BBC. I have slowly tried to feel out how interested she might be. Last night we were talking after an incredible session of me serving her needs and she shocked me. She told me she wanted me to do some research and find her some temporary types of tattoos she might be able to wear. After chatting a bit more, she specifically wants a rose and to my shock, a HOTWIFE tattoo on her tit, and a QoS tattoo on her ass. I got so excited I got hard again. As the tease, she just stroked me off to take care of it. I think she might be working herself towards slutting herself and making me a cuckold. So excited. Does anyone have any ideas of tattoos? I have seen the notes on here about the already made tattoos you can buy, but she doesn't want cheezy, she want them to look real. Thinking maybe Hena or something like that. Suggestions?

What is Vanilla Fantasy?
Aside from finding out that Orcs have no genitals, last session my player also had a very brief discussion on the definition of vanilla fantasy. One of them used it in a fairly derogatory fashion to describe a campaign setting that will not be named. One of my other players was quite confused by this as he had never heard the term.
Then I discovered something. Though I know what vanilla fantasy is it's rather like pornography: I know it when I see it. I was completely unable to give a definition for "vanilla fantasy." So I ask you, what makes something vanilla fantasy? Is it necessarily a bad thing? Does it need to be self serious? Can it have rayguns in it? Does Tolkien count?
When someone says vanilla fantasy to me, I immediately think of Might & Magic. Of course that's a rather screwed up view of vanilla fantasy, since M&M is secretly a sci fi setting, but it's what I think of none the less.

"Imagine a flower: A climbing orchid, to be exact; the one of some twenty thousand varieties that produces something edible. Now imagine that its blooms must be pollinated either by hand or a small variety of Mexican bee, and that each bloom only opens for one day a year. Now imagine the fruit of this orchid, a pod, being picked and cured, sitting in the sun all day, sweating under blankets all night for months until, shrunken and shriveled, it develops a heady, exotic perfume and flavor. Now imagine that this fruit's name is synonymous with dull, boring, and ordinary. How vanilla got this bad rap I for one will never know." - Alton Brown on "Vanilla"ReplyDelete
How about "High Fructose Corn Fantasy?"ReplyDelete
I'm willing to stick with vanilla. A lot of people miss the point, but some of us enjoy the myriad subtle flavors it encompasses. I'm speaking both literally and metaphorically here. A good vanilla ice cream with no topping can be wonderful.ReplyDelete
I think three things put -players- off vanilla fantasy: similarity of PC choices (i.e. the 7 types that made it into Basic D&D, plus a smattering of others, like paladins, druids & assassins), Western renfairish faux medieval setting and expectations as to how the PCs should be spending their time (grand epic quests and/or smelly dungeon diving).
I'm another vanilla fan. Nothing wrong with other flavours, though.ReplyDelete
I'm seeing a lot of "it isn't bad" but not a lot of definitions.ReplyDelete
expectations as to how the PCs should be spending their time (grand epic quests and/or smelly dungeon diving).
I think this was the key to his derision (the epic quest part, I'm pretty sure he's a fan of smell dungeon delving). Though I will point out that my crazy-orcs made him say that my setting wasn't vanilla, so I'm not so sure how what he's basing his definition on.
I think vanilla fantasy is good when you and your players need something new and fresh. It gives the GM the flexability to run his world as he see's it. It also gives the players the opportunity's to create a "new" path for the character.ReplyDelete
Just my two cents,keep up the good work!
See "The Tough Guide to Fantasyland" by Diana Wynne Jones.ReplyDelete
It's a guidebook to adventures (aka 'tours') in the generic medieval-stasis fantasy setting. The book outlines exactly who and what you will encounter (from Anglo-Saxon Cossacks to Vestigial Imperialists and the mysterious Other Continentalists), the significance of clothing colour, merchants and their bales, the five types of queen, the six things that glow significantly, and the rigidly codified steps of the Dark Lord's evil master plan.
It is a must-read for any worldbuilder or would-be dethroner of JRRT.
Anything that hews close to traditional fantasy or rpg tropes.ReplyDelete
I don't think you can really define vanilla fantasy to the level of detail that you might like, if only because of the breadth of fantasy tropes from which to mine.
Hey! Nilla wafers are the second best mass-produced cookie there is!ReplyDelete
Since you're wondering, here.
Course nothing beats homemade...
I always thought vanilla fantasy meant euro-centric settingsReplyDelete
I'll second the Tough Guide recommendation. It's pretty brilliant, and makes it (even more) impossible to read Eddings, Jordan, Brooks, or Goodkind with a straight face.ReplyDelete
I think of vanilla fantasy as fantasy that unconsciously adopts all the tropes of post-Tolkien quest bilge, often without realizing that there's any other way for fantasy to be presented, and often with some minor twist which the author clearly thinks makes the whole subversive or innovative. Sort of the setting equivalent of the Fantasy Heartbreaker.
Defined this way, I think, say, the Forgotten Realms and Kalamar qualify, but the World of Greyhawk (often pilloried or dismissed as "vanilla") does not - I think it's just too baroque and, in some instances, genuinely weird. (Please don't ask me to articulately defend this opinion.)

Please don't ask me to articulately defend my complete agreement.
If Greyhawk seems non-vanilla it's because of all the other genre elements stirred in - sci-fi (Barrier Peaks), pulp adventure, genre bending (Castle Greyhawk), Greyhawk-City-as-Chicago ...ReplyDelete
I see vanilla fantasy (I call it Medieval Fantasy, in all its incarnations from Geoffrey of Monmouth to Tolkien) as potentially flavorful, but tasteless and bland when made with synthetic ingredients. At its worst (Jordan) you get the feeling that if his heroes lived in our world they would be buying spiky replica swords at the mall and wearing three-wolf shirts.
Vanilla fantasy shoulf have liberal lashings of Tolkien but little if any rayguns.ReplyDelete
The exotic once revealed becomes mundane. In vanilla fantasy many a town has elf serving maids, a countryside dotted with Dwarven prospectors, the emperors guard ride on dragon back and everyone seems to usually leave the halfling alone in their shires.
Vanilla fantasy is displaced in time, or never seems to change all that much. Knights, Ancient Gauls, pyramid building egyptians, vikings, really late Romans and barbarians clad in fur bannana hammocks all rub shoulders.
The world is either in a perpetual dung-age and the common man doesn't seem to care or the gardens are always green and larders are filled to the brim even in late winter.
Religion while present has little impact on things and hardly goes noticed unless the dark lord is tied to a given faith or minion of an evil god, and then it still doesn't matter overly much. Vanilla Fantasy people are amazingly tolerant of unusual and alien faiths. Churches are there to dispense healing and blessings along with the occasional "tsk tsk".
Magic is awesome and grand, it provides great power and is mostly ignored even if seemingly ever-present.
Vanilla fantasy is supposed to be familiar and comfortable.
I see vanilla fantasy as based in the core books - lots of stock monsters, treasures and classes. I run vanilla fantasy a lot. I am currently running two different campaigns in Judges Guild "Verbosh" setting. I like vanilla fantasy as it is easier in the DM, and the players have a nice base comfort. Then you start to deviate in minor ways and the weird seems weirder and more effective. It's like the blues - 12 bars in the standard 3-chord pattern - but it is how you deviate and come back that makes it effective.ReplyDelete
So to me, vanilla fantasy should not be a derogative term.
Verbosh is pretty brilliant, in large part because it's a knowing piss-take of bog-standard fantasy. It does *not* take itself seriously, and one of the most fun campaigns I ever ran prominently featured Verbosh and its environs. In fact, I can't think of a better published setting for use with Tunnels & Trolls.ReplyDelete
(I'm the last person on Earth who'd have anything against "traditional" fantasy, insofar as there is such a thing. I just loathe the garbage cluttering bookstore shelves and bestseller lists.)
In the context of role-playing I think 'vanilla fantasy' tends to be used as a milder form of 'fantasy heartbreaker': meaning that the thing being described is like D&D, not because the author chose to make it like D&D, but because they either didn't think about it or don't have a wide enough knowledge of fantasy or role-playing.ReplyDelete
I think the definitions been covered pretty well here and post-Tolkien pretty much sums up the genre. I agree that Forgotten Realms and Dragon Lance would be the epitome of vanilla fantasy while ray-guns, Lovecraft influences or gender neutral orcs hint at a more chocolate or tutti fruity blend of Fantasia.ReplyDelete
