What to Watch 4: Alshon Jeffery vs. depleted Packers secondary
Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who has not scored a touchdown in six games this season, has an opportunity for a break-out game against a Packers secondary missing starting cornerbacks Sam Shields (concussion) and Damarious Randall (groin), plus top reserve Quinten Rollins (groin).
Shields, who has not played since Week 1 against the Jaguars, was put on injured reserve this week. This will be the first Bears-Packers game Shields has missed since he entered the NFL in 2010 — when he had two interceptions in the Packers 21-14 victory in the NFC championship game.
Second-year cornerback LaDarius Gunter, an undrafted free agent from Miami, has played well as a replacement for Shields, but struggled last week against the Cowboys. With Randall — the Packers' 2015 first-round draft pick— and Rollins out, Demetri Goodson, a 2014 sixth-round pick, is the next-man up.
"I don't care who's out there guarding me," said Jeffery, who has 29 receptions for 487 yards (16.8 avg.) this season, including gains of 54, 49 and 38 yards. "Whoever's out there, we're going to try to take advantage.
After gaining 389 yards in a 17-16 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, the Bears' offense improved from ninth to seventh in total yards, but dropped to 32nd and last in the NFL in points scored. That minus-25 drop is by far the lowest for a team in the top 10 in total offense in the NFL (the Redskins — fifth in yards, 15th in points — are next at minus-10.).
In the last 30 years, the largest drop for a team in the top-10 in total offense is minus-17 — by the 2015 Chargers (ninth-to-26th) and the 1999 Bears (eighth-to-25th).
Newcomer Eric Kush is expected to start for left guard Josh Sitton, who is doubtful after suffering an ankle injury on the second-to-last offensive play against the Jaguars. Sitton has started 81 consecutive games and 129-of-131 since becoming a starter for the Packers in 2009.
Kush, primarily a center, has played in 10 games (one start) in four NFL seasons — three (with the one start) with the Chiefs in 2013 and seven last year with the Rams.
He's ready for the moment if it happens.
"Absolutely," he said. "I came in and learned everything. I get here early every day and work and study and get ready to roll regardless [of the situation]. I'm ready to go when the time comes."
One advantage for Kush is that the rest of offensive linemen have been starting for the past six weeks. That should make it easier for him to fit as a plug-in player.
"I know where everybody's going to go. I know the concepts," Kush said. "You just need to build some trust [with linemates] and stuff like that. And you work on that through the week. We're going to have some damn fun out there — that's what we're going to do."
Overcoming injuries is a weekly hurdle for the Bears. Wide receiver Eddie Royal, who is out after suffering a toe injury last week against the Jaguars, is the latest starter to go down.
Sitton, Jay Cutler (sprained thumb), nose tackle Eddie Goldman (high ankle sprain) and running back Jeremy Langford (ankle) are doubtful. Reserve cornerback Deoindre Hall (ankle) is out.
Starting cornerbacks Tracy Porter (knee) and Bryce Callahan (hamstring) and tight end Zach Miller (ribs) are among seven players listed as questionable. The others are linebackers Jerrell Freeman (wrist), Leonard Floyd (calf) and Sam Acho (ribs) and running back Ka'Deem Carey (hamstring).
Running back Eddie Lacy (ankle) is among seven players who are out for the Packers. The others are running back James Starks (knee), tight end Jared Cook (ankle), cornerbacks Damarious Randall (groin) and Quinten Rollins (groin), safety Chris Banjo (hamstring) and wide receiver Jared Abbrederis (quad). Wide receiver Davante Adams (concussion) is questionable.

Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star has had a rough year.
The star, much like the man behind the piece of sidewalk, has been repeatedly defaced, the last of which happened early this morning.
Deadline has exclusive video of a man dressed as a construction worker viciously demolishing the terrazzo and brass star with a sledgehammer on Hollywood Boulevard at approximately 5:45 a.m. Wednesday morning.
RELATED: Salma Hayek Claims Donald Trump Planted False Tabloid Rumours
Following the destruction, a Trump sticker was placed on the star.
The LAPD tweeted when the investigation was underway:
And a day later, Commanding Officer- LAPD Hollywood Division Cory Palka tweeted the suspect has been arrested.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has released a statement concerning the vandalism.
"The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an institution celebrating the positive contributions of the inductees," said Leron Gubler, President/CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. "When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways than to vandalize a California State landmark. Our democracy is based on respect for the law. People can make a difference by voting and not destroying public property."
Gubler also said the Chamber is working with the police and intend "to prosecute to the full extent of the law." The star will be repaired immediately, but requires several days of seasoning before it is polished.
The Trump campaign has yet to comment on the vandalism.
Back in January, a reverse swastika was spray-painted on the star and then in July an LA-based street artist referenced Trump's vow to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, by building a miniature wall around the Hollywood attraction.

Josh was born into a family that had the alcoholism gene on both sides. He also struggled with depression. In his teenage years he tried alcohol, along with many others...unfortunately this became his way to feel better and in no time was trapped in the horrible disease of alcoholism.

My team only ergs once a week but we are still an extremely well known competitive team. I am wondering if this is normal as most people seem to erg multiple times a week. And also will going from a once-a-week erg to a multiple times a week erg in university be a hard transition? Thanks!
I wouldn't say it's totally abnormal. In the winter my team would erg every day but once spring season rolled around we'd only erg once every two weeks for their 2k test. If you're only erging once a week during winter training that's definitely unorthodox but if your team isn't suffering any ill effects (I assume because you're rowing the rest of the time?) I wouldn't worry about it.
Regarding making the switch in college I would say this: just because your team right now only ergs once a week doesn't mean you only have to erg once a week. You can erg as many times a week as you want. It might be an adjustment switching to a more "normal" erg schedule in college but I don't think it will be that difficult. It's like when the semesters switch and your class schedule changes – it's weird for the first few days but then you get used to it after the first week and that becomes the new normal.

Issue No. 01 - January (1978 vol. 27)
pp: 64-67
R.C. Pearce , Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Waterloo
In computer architecture investigations a major interest is in the analysis of organizations which explore parallelism, and therefore, may have multiple instruction and multiple data streams (MIMD). In this paper, a MIMD structure with one shared resource is analyzed for both synchronous and asynchronous request arrivals. Although the analysis is somewhat restricted, it appears that a similar approach can be used to extend the model to more general MIMD cases. Results presented for one particular set of parameters indicate that an optimum resource replication is possible such that an optimum cost performance is achieved.

HemiFever is the MAN!
2 Attachment(s)
I wish I would have seen his add for the t1000 with his tunes already installed, would have saved time and money. I was not to overly impressed with Diablos tunes. Plus after installing all the programs, pulling and copying files and downloads and several tunings, what a pain I could have saved myself with preinstalled tunes.
I Highly recommend, do not buy your tuner from anyone else, if you are looking for real performance. I have had vehicles custom tuned before, and his tune is one of the best overall improvements I have ever had. If you want a couple of mods and just a better drivability and gas mileage then Diablos stuff is fine, not bad at all.
I am talking by the way the truck drives now, everything I have wanted to be able to do in a tune, he has done it. I notice that the vehicle downshifts and takes off better at mid throttle applications, my truck now feels much like a custom tuned sports car. It holds the gears a little longer when you are romping around. At WOT the shifting is right on gear banging machine, real firm and fast. It downshifts with much less throttle application and takes off faster when you want more speed. I had to really mash the throttle to get it downshift before. When just putting around or driving to work, I barely touch the gas now. When getting on it just a little the truck just hauls ass. I swear I think he just completely got rid of the torque management. At low rpms, the truck is totally different, it feels soooo powerfull, like what I thought a 400hp truck should feel like.
I remember back in 88, my Mustang LX with a 5.0 and 5 speed, could smoke the tires at a whim, doing donuts in an empty parking lot was a breeze, kicking the tail out in corners with a little drift on track days was a blast. That was only 215hp and 300tq, but it would only pull 15 second 1/4s even with a bunch of bolt ons. I thought this truck was a slug with 390hp and 407tq and I could barely chirp the tires! Now it reminds me of how my first vette ran, and its almost as fast. Wait till I finish my engine mods. Now I know I might blow the tranny with all this weight and power, but I understand you gotta pay to play sometimes. This truck stock was running 14.5's in the 1/4, and 6.5 0 to 60s. I got some pics of some runs now with Hemifevers tune in it. Now with the Diablo tunes, after a couple of days of driving I ran some numbers and barely ran any faster, 0 to 60 in the low 6's.
This thing even with 3.55s, well look at the pics. First pic is my first run, peeling out like crazy, plus nice 1 to 2 chirp, the second pic is after I got used to modulating the throttle, my best run, but my average was about 5.75 second runs. Stock fastest was 6.48s, 6.5 to 6.6 average, and Diablo tune fastest was 6.28, average 6.3 to 6.4 with a nice chirp off the line.
I am gonna need some more rubber in the back, and now am totally rethinking about keeping the 3.55s and forgoing the 4.10 gear swap, especially after I get my torque converter. Keep in mind, this is Vegas, 2000' elevation average, what would this run in Cali? My vehicles always feel much faster when I am in California.
Well that is really nice Sir, i have to add some mpg or kmperliters improvement i have experineced!!
I would not have believed it if i hadnt experienced it myself!
Before installing trinity and hemifever custom tune, i filled my truck with 161 liter LPG and drove it to work, same route everyday on cruise control @ 90 km an hour! In the weekend driving around town, groceries etc... All in all got 757 km.. It comes to 4.7 km per liter.
Now with trinity and hemifever tuning i drove same route during the week, but in the weekend i drove more then normal in town and had my foot down for some WOT runs for the sake of data logging ..
Today LPG pushed its last drop through the system and got me @851 km, this comes out 5.30 km per liter.
That is a serious improvement of 94 km.
I also believe i can get it to go 900 km per full tank, because of weather conditions the last couple of days (snow)
From what ive been told is that the engine uses 25% more LPG compared to gas.
Im very happy with this device and give my thanks to Sean@hemifever!!
Any chance you can share some of those tune settings?
So how does this work, does hemifever send you a "canned tune" made by him or does he actually customize something based on your individual truck?
HemiFever does do awsome work, i was gonna use him to tune our company truck, however we are now going a different direction with it, but still at the end of the day he has some awsome tunes.

I ran a couple 1/4 mile times, and again knocked off some good number, post pics.
So about .5 second gain average improvement over my best 0 t0 60 and 1/4 mile runs.
awesome! I have one of his tunes and love it, best decision I made as I got the tuner from him as well. You can knock down those 0-60 times. I'll post the picture if you like but I have mine down to 5.9 with open diff 3.55's :D I've thought about a 4.10 upgrade as well but I think I'm just going to get a Limited Slip for the time being and run a smaller tire when I go to the track. Last time I went before I was tuned I ran a 14.9 so if this alone takes off half a second I'll be very happy.
I didn't want to start a new thread so I'll just post here.
I plan on buying the basic hemifever tune for my predator for $125 but I haven't finished all the mods I've wanted to do. (e.g. my exhaust isn't finished, in probably going to change up my intake, and there are some other things I'd like to do without needing the stage 1 tune)
So my question is, does purchasing the tune include free tune adjustments? Like after I finish my exhaust and do other performance mods
Thanks for the info. hodgeee I'm buying either a trinity or DCX intune today and your experience has def. forced me to follow through with buying one of these without backing out :LOL:

Donatella Versace took to the ocean to inspire her Spring 2012 collection, painting seashells, starfish, seahorses, and fish on a series of dresses and chic separates.
Blacks and whites set the foundation, as muted blues, purples, greens, and yellows played on seaworthy patterns.
Stud embellishments brought select garments to life, either dotting bodices or peppering waistbands.
Accessories included funky studded handbags and signature platform sandals decorated with sea creatures:
Certified Versace fan Nicki Minaj will love those.
The collection was definitely restrained for Versace, but there's beauty in simplicity. I would wear any of the abbreviated cocktails in a quick second.

Cute Back-to-School Backpacks/
Maybe when you get older, your It bag of choice will be something more chic and glamorous (Chanel? Givenchy?) but for now, you're stuck with the seminal backpack. You carry it every day, it serves a important purpose, and it must be sturdy to carry all those books that will make you totally smart. However, fear not! You don't have to sacrifice style for utility -- you can have both! Here are five that will get you through the school year.
♥ Multi-color Backpack, Poketo ($48, pictured). Even when you haven't studied for your trig exam and your dog ate your homework, this bright rucksack will cheer you up!
♥ Hershel Supply Company, Madewell ($55). A simple, smartly designed bag always looks good, and this collaboration between Hershel Supply Co. and Madewell makes us squee in utter delight.
♥ Brandy Floral Backpack, Tillys ($30). Floral patterns were everywhere this summer, and the trend continues into fall with this dusty rose, violet and white print.
♥ Canvas Backpack, Asos ($38). Rugged in a brown canvas with leather straps, you might want to wear an exploring outfit when you throw this one over your shoulders.
♥ L.L. Bean Deluxe Book Pack, L.L. Bean ($32, sale). For the serious student. No frills or fancy patterns here, but lots of roomy compartments and places to organize supplies. It may not have a lot of flair, but for a small fee, you can add some by monogramming your initials.

Complaint #16 (I hate winter). I'm so glad to see all the signs of spring. No big freezes here so all our plants just need trimmed back and we will have almost instant flowers. I do have to trim the date palms as I did not trim them at the end of the year.
Mary and I hope to get around to a lot more car meets this year. The Prowler is easier to drive and has dependable air etc so that will help.
Take care,
Jerry Joke of the Day!
The Hamster Show
A guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender if he will give him a free beer if he shows him something amazing. The bartender agrees, so the guys pulls out a hamster, who begins dancing and singing "Tuff Enuff" by the Fabulous Thunderbirds. "That IS amazing!" says the bartender and gives the guy his free beer.
"If I show you something else amazing, will you give me another beer?" The bartender agrees, so the guy pulls out a small piano and a hamster and a frog. Now the hamster plays the piano while the frog dances and sings "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
The bartender, completely wowed, gives him another beer. A man in a suit, who's been watching the entire time, offers to buy the frog for a princely sum, which the man agrees to.
"Are you nuts?" asks the bartender. "You could've made a fortune off that frog."
"Can you keep a secret?" asks the man. "The hamster's a ventriloquist."

Five Hours In, Dishonored 2 Is Pretty Fun
I spent all of yesterday creeping through the shadows and stabbing people in the back in Dishonored 2. It's a damn fine stealth game. Here are some early thoughts on what works and what doesn't.
I spent all of yesterday creeping through the shadows and stabbing people in the back in Dishonored 2. It's a damn fine stealth game. Here are some early thoughts on what works and what doesn't.
Sometimes I think a golden age of DLC was kicked off by The Ballad of Gay Tony for Grand Theft Auto IV. Minerva's Den for BioShock 2, Freedom Cry for Assassin's Creed IV, Left Behind for The Last of Us, and maybe even Burial at Sea for BioShock Infinite were all expansions that matched, or even exceeded in some ways,…
Harvey Smith—who you probably know as a chief architect of Deus Ex and of last year's hit stealth/action hybrid Dishonored—has made games about secret alien UFO labs and supernatural steampunk assassins. So you might expect a novel from the co-founder of Arkane Studios to be heavy with genre trappings and filled with…
Harvey Smith, who has worked on stuff like Deus Ex and was most recently lead designer on Dishonored, has written a novel. You can check it out here.
He's not just responsible for one of the coolest games of the year, Dishonored designer Harvey Smith is also a man with impeccable taste.
Have you played Dishonored yet? The folks who made it wrote out a great deal of lore to flesh out the game's steampunky, alt-fiction, whale-filled world. So it stands to reason that they might want to make a sequel.
Okay, so Dishonored is excellent. That won't stop me from nitpicking and critiquing some of the things I didn't like about the new stealth-action game.
Dishonored has no multiplayer. At all. That's right: it's both an original IP and a single-player-only experience. It's the unicorn of the gaming industry.
Revenge ain't easy. While playing Dishonored, an excellent new stealth-action game that's out today for consoles and PC, you might find yourself face-to-face with a pack of pistol-brandishing guards or surrounded by a swarm of hungry, plague-infested rats. Or maybe you just don't know where to go next.
There are no boss battles in Dishonored, no massive, drawn-out fights where the doors suddenly close and you have to take down a really tough enemy to get to the next level. There are some difficult encounters—like the Tallboys, pictured above—but there are no bosses.
Improvisation is a word normally associated with jazz and comedy. You are presented with a situation, it changes, and you adapt. You start out with a key and a tempo or an audience suggestion and a scene but you end up with something different by the end through key changes, an unexpected turn of phrase, or that one…
That right there? That's Dishonored, the new stealth assassination game from Bethesda, Arx Fatalis dev Arkane Studios and Harvey Smith, one of the creative forces behind Deus Ex and Thief: Deadly Shadows. Why does it sound so interesting?
Some of us succumb to copying the habits of friends by playing the same games or watching the same TV show. Harvey Smith is another developer giving in to a different pressure.

Had my blood work done this AM and my CA125 is...........(drumroll, please)..............
I was totally prepared for it to be elevated, as I have a UTI, so this was a very pleasant surprise.
For anyone who'd like to compare, here is my CA125 history:
I have two more sessions of chemo, then a new CT scan. I am very apprehensive about the scan. My de-bulking surgery was sub-optimal, as I had major caking of the omentum and enlarged lymph nodes that could not be removed. But anything is possible......not just the bad stuff, either, but ANYTHING.
Jan 08, 2010 - 5:37 pm
Thanks for sharing your good numbers. I know that feels really good. Keep on trucking!
Jan 08, 2010 - 7:25 pm
It's the best feeling in the world!!!!!!!! When that CA-125 number keeps going down. Congratulations. Oh, and by the way, you look fantastic. Paula
Jan 09, 2010 - 1:44 pm
I joined the board before I had any treatment, so the photo on here is me in 2008, pre-chemo. You can copy/paste this URL into your browser and see photos of me taken on Christmas...http://s139.photobucket.com/albums/q291/cmfromtx/Christmas/
I really need to change my avatar photo, I guess. I don't think I look significantly different, but neither do I want to mislead anyone.
Full disclosure, folks.....my hair in the profile pic is my own, and in the other photos, I am wearing my wig.
Jan 08, 2010 - 7:36 pm
That's really great. I seldom comment but just had to as I've been reading about your strugle. I've been in remission from stage 3-c for 22 months and my ca has been going up but just this week went down to 15 so I am also happy. Hope that this trend continues for both of us.

V Girl....
Wow! A remission of 22 months is wonderful! And the recent decline in your CA125 is great, too.
All kinds of things can elevate the number, evidently. I developed a bowel obstruction prior to having my first one drawn and it shot the number thru the roof. After surgery they ran it again, but I had all kinds of complications, including a really stubborn ilieus that eventually meant being fed thru my port and an abdominal incision that did not heal (had to be opened back up, in fact), so my first three test results - 4000, 2400, and 2200 - were skewed by all those things. Also, I insisted on starting chemo while I was still pretty fragile - home health care workers were coming twice a day to pack my incision and take my vitals. My doctor told me not to expect a huge change in the numbers until I was in better shape, over all. Turns out he was right (imagine that...LOL). Once I was on the mend, my CA125 dropped by 90% in a month's time.
Jan 08, 2010 - 9:07 pm
I am so happy for you. What a good feeling when that CA125 goes down, and yours really went down.
Jan 08, 2010 - 9:32 pm
that's such wonderful news, I'm sure yur scan will reflect the reason for the drop in the CA125.
Jan 09, 2010 - 3:17 am
WHOOO HOOO!! Doing the happy dance with you, such a great feeling isn't it?
Jan 09, 2010 - 5:56 am
So great to come here and read your good news. PTL!
Jan 09, 2010 - 7:53 am
Couldn't ask for better news this morning!
Jan 09, 2010 - 8:35 am
Good News to read first thing this morning!!
What are you doing about your UTI??
Jan 09, 2010 - 9:53 am
drumroll indeed....... I'm so very pleased for you! I'm starting my 2nd go round on the chemo trail the week after next. I've was 3 years dancing with NED (3C) and my oncologist told me that it would take 3 doses of chemo to see the numbers come down. You've given me such hope today. (((HUGS)))) Maria
Jan 09, 2010 - 11:54 am
You have given ME hope today!! I have danced all my life and never longed for a partner like I am longing for NED.
Jan 10, 2010 - 7:08 pm
I haven't been on in a few days and I'm so glad that I did to see your good news!! I'm soooo happy for you!!! You go girl!!! You'll be dancing that most wonderful dance with NED!! I know it!!!
Jan 11, 2010 - 12:44 pm
Girls, what is NED?
Jan 11, 2010 - 4:40 pm
Hizzy_Fitz: Love your numbers..congrats!
Jan 12, 2010 - 8:24 am
That's awesome news! From 4,000 to 19, wow. That's so encouraging. My moms chemo starts today (I think) so I pray for the best. I praise God with you for your progress, keep going. WHOOHOOOOO!
Jan 12, 2010 - 11:04 am
Way to go!! May those numbers keep on going down.
Jan 13, 2010 - 12:34 pm
Congratulations!! It's very encouraging to see such a change in the numbers!! My mom started with 1,600. It was only when they told us what the standard range was for CA125 that my mouth fell open. She goes in for weekly blood work - today is her first round post-chemo, so I'm hoping we eventually see the same trend.
Congratulations again!

Jamie Carragher: Why Manchester United double-header is massive for Liverpool
They are six points off Manchester City, who currently occupy the fourth and final Champions League spot.
But Klopp's side seem to be peaking at just the right time and Carragher believes there is "light at the end of the tunnel" after their latest success.
"I think it will be difficult to get top four," the ex-Liverpool defender added. "But what it does is just give you a little bit of hope as a Liverpool player and fan that the next eight or nine games are not just going to peter out.
"There is something there, a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel that something could happen if three or four teams drop points."

A few weeks ago, Jordan and I sat down over skype and had a little chat. That skype was meant to be the beginning of a photo essay for Cloudhead. It turned into a 2-part series about photography, collaboration, historical and cultural changes in human beings.
You might know Jordan from G+. He's all over the photographer community there. Or on Jordan's Facebook page. Or maybe you know him from Wandering Educators, where he's the photography and outdoor adventures editor. Or maybe you've heard of him traveling through your town. Or through a collaboration or… Yes, Jordan is everywhere.
Here, we have part one of The Jordan Oram Manifesto from a corner suite in Vancouver.
It's important to be aware that every photographer, every person has something to say that no one else can say. Where you are, is unique. When you are, is unique. Who you are, is unique.
Where you walk right now, the vast majority of the world's population will never set foot. Of those few who will step where you step now, the world will have changed around them. Leaves open, flowers bloom, clouds drift, the light changes. The streets get wet with rain or watering or festivals. They get scorched with the dry rays of summer sun. It all changes. That building is being built up. That building is being torn down. That car is parked there. That parking space is empty. Our world is dynamic and in flux. Realize this, and you can see it everywhere, slowly.
Think of how fast or slow we appear to move, to a hummingbird.
Think of how fast or slow we appear to move, to a tree.
Think of how fast or slow we would appear to move to a mountain, that could see.
It's important to be aware that every photographer, every person has something to say that no one else can say. Where you are, is unique. When you are, is unique. Who you are, is unique.
This world is in flux. It is dynamic. This photograph that you are about to take, can never be taken again.
My parents changed their backyard. I can never take a picture of what that backyard used to look like before they changed it. You'll never see it now. That was a unique time and place that is no longer. Plus you're not likely to get into my parent's backyard. Who I am, where I am, the relationships I have, and the things I see, are part of me and my vision. They permeate my photographs and are different than your photographs. Were you in this time and this place, able to look around, compose and frame, and take a picture, it would be different than mine.
This is what other's could look back and say was our style, our vision, our eye. I'd say don't stress about that, go out and look and see and shoot the things that you notice. My dad sees lines. You see a lot of lines in his work. He sees lines where I see concepts in juxtaposition. I'll shoot nature and human creation intermingling in a scene where he spent 10 minutes taking pictures of the shadows and lines on a park bench.
What we've experienced, what we notice, and who we are, gives us access to scenes and ideas that no one else will see because they are not in our heads. No one else could have done what you can do, where you are, and when you are.
Once you realize how unique you are, in that exact moment, then you know without a doubt that what you see is really amazing and wonderful.
You have the opportunity to share that with others.
This is the introduction to all my photography classes.
Unparalleled moments from a window in a corner suite in Vancouver
I could not have made this elsewhere. This is a unique set of moments from a unique place on a unique day. I was able to take these photos because I happened to be in Vancouver for a week without having a place to stay. I was offered a corner bedroom to stay in on a tenth floor apartment because a friend's friend's roommate had just moved out, and she, having hung out with me a few days earlier with our mutual friend, welcomed me to converse, share stores and ideas, and to hangout for as many days as I wanted. This may seem odd to you because you are not me, or also haven't met me or seen me interact with people and share stories, stoke, and awesomeness. My friends will chuckle upon hearing this story and think of it as another one of those 'Jordan' things.
What we've experienced, what we notice, and who we are, gives us access to scenes and ideas that no one else will see, because they are not in our heads. No one else could have done what you can do, where you are, and when you are.
You have your own unique opportunities.
Yes, I talk about this in the introduction to all my photography classes, but it doesn't require a camera for each of us to raise awareness of our unique place in history and existence. All of us have this ability, and the more you are aware of the power of your own lives in the exact moment, and aware that you have control over your own choices, the more you will engage in the world, and the more you can engage in your own life in powerful, pertinent, ways.
Presenting photography through this philosophy allows the camera to be just a bit less intimidating. You can see it practically. It's also not just philosophy, because even if you don't think of yourself as a particularly philosophical or intellectual person, you can still relate.

Heimerdinger Build Guide by beltani

Heimerdinger 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.
Welcome to my Heimerdinger build for Dominion / The Crystal Scar! I started playing LoL after the introduction of this wonderful gametype. Everything I wanted from a hero arena game is here; faster games, faster leveling, more teamfights, and less creeping.
This guide includes two builds: one for high damage output, and the other which is my take on a "tankerdinger."
With the new mode comes changed viability across the champion roster and a new metagame! While this guide is for new heimer players, you will still need a thorough understanding of the dominion gametype (and the new roles players must fill) before you read this guide.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, please refer to Zemiazas' guide here.
The secret to winning every game...
...is MAP AWARENESS. If you know where the enemy team is at all times, you will never get ganked and never miss an opportunity to neut or cap a tower! I can not stress enough how important this is. A 5-man team with voice communication who has good map awareness and talks often will almost never lose!
Know your role and shut your mouth!
Heimer was born to be an unstoppable force in dominion! Playing according to the current dominion metagame, he is one of the most viable champions for the "bottom lane" or bot role.
As the bottom lane player, you will be responsible for holding your team's bottom tower as well as pushing friendly creeps towards the enemy's bottom tower in an attempt to disrupt or capture it.
Let's take a closer look at how heimer's mechanics affect his role in the game!
Pros / Cons
Unparalleled tower defense.
Pushing ability on bottom is almost impossible to overcome.
Reduced need for autoattacks compared to other bottom laners with turrets and your 'W' ability.
You will very rarely need to initiate vs. other heroes.
Cannot tower dive or jump enemies, only lure or kite.
No chasing ability and no escapes.
Reliant on turrets for much of damage output.
Summoner Spells
To be effective on bottom, you have a limited selection of summoner spells that make sense.
Garrison is an absolute must for any player on bottom. With your turrets, auto-targeting missiles, and grenade, you should have no problem interrupting enemy captures; instead, save that extra regen for situations usually unique to the bottom lane. Use it to quickly gain momentum or stop your opponent's push.
-If you're pushing into their bottom tower with creeps, but your lane opponent is harassing from under his tower, pop your garrison! The reduced tower damage means with a big enough creep push you can neutralize or take it without even coming close. When you get the hang of it, you'll be able to push the creeps while keeping your lane opponent occupied and guessing.
-Enemy pushing you onto your tower with creeps? No matter how well you defend, you're going to die. And when you die, your opponent will take the opportunity to push towards your tower. If you end up on your tower with creeps coming in and no turrets up, pop the garrison for some relief. The tower can mop up the creep wave and allow you to focus on the 1v1, and place your turrets in a way that allows you to push back out without having to fully commit to defending the tower.
Promote is my personal second choice. More straightforward than garrison, but can still be used both offensively and defensively. The biggest drawback is its lack of scaling as the game progresses.
-Having problems early on against your lane opponent? Pop a promote to buy some time. Wait until the lead mob from your current wave is about to die, as he'll be healed back to full. Take the opportunity to push back, recall and buy, or call for help.
-Opponents leaving a tower next to one you control unoccupied? Quickly kill an enemy creep wave, and pop your promote. If their team isn't paying attention or is otherwise occupied, you can pick up a free neutralization.
Exhaust is a possible alternative to promote. You can use it to escape if your lane opponent tries to jump you early, or to escape an attempted gank from the middle. If you pick up exhaust, don't forget...
-Use it in conjunction with your grenade. The reduced movement speed will help you land your skill shot.
-Use it to help ensure a character with escapes receives the punishment they deserve if they try to jump you near your turrets or a tower. If multiple enemies are about to dive on you, grenade one target and exhaust another.
Flash is similar to exhaust in utility. Escape a gank, or use it to enhance your kiting skills.
Ghost is not for you. Now go back bottom and do your job!
Like any other champion, heimer's masteries are often debated and often come down to preference and play style. I choose to drop a full 21 points into offense, with a splash into defense for armor and MR, and the rest into the utility tree's MP/level. I like the magic pen, extra AP, and CDR. Doing extra damage to low health targets is handy for bunkering down. I've included an alternative build for defensive-minded player who want more survivability. I'm not going to wall of text you here, go read a different chapter or something.
There are lots of options here for Heimer, so I'll try and keep it general and give you some choices.
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration - This is the highest magic pen rune available. A solid choice.
Greater Seal of Armor - The armor/level rune does not surpass this until level 10, and I recommend this flat armor instead.
greater seal of vitality - Another solid choice, swapping one defensive stat for another. Can't really go wrong here either.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power - The AP is my favorite choice here. A nice damage boost, especially in the early game.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist - Is another excellent choice. Combined with the armor seal, you can get a juicy defensive boost early. The MR/level doesn't surpass this until level 10, so I'd stick with flat MR. You can still pick up AP from your quints if you want.
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power - Almost 15 AP from 3 of these bad boys is hard to pass up.
Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed - The only alternative I like to passing up the extra AP. The movespeed will help you with tough matchups early game and to escape ganks, especially before you have boots. Worth your consideration, at least.
If you came here looking for a skill sequence, too bad! You should actually read the chapter instead! Go on, do it! Mwahahahahaha!
Heimer is a fairly simple character to play once you have a firm grasp of his mechanics. Your skills have a very simple leveling order, and most of the skill you'll need to develop lies in his skillshot CH-1 CONCUSSION GRENADE. Let's break down his skills first, and then we'll move into tactics.
H-28G Evolution Turret is your most important and effective skill. It will be the majority of your damage output, and allow you to bunker down on a turret and fight off multiple enemy champions. This is the skill that will separate the good heimers from the bad. Keep in mind that your turrets will not upgrade with your skill increases once placed, so distribute points before you drop your next turret. You can have a maximum of two up at a time, starting at skill level 2.
Hextech Micro-Rockets is a fantastic skill. Up to 3 missiles at a time, all auto-targeting and fast. A good heimer will always use their range to maximize the effect of this skill, making sure 3 rockets are always landing if there are 3 targets. Your rockets will consistently do solid damage as the game progresses.
ch-1 concussion grenade is your skillshot and the most difficult ability to use. Practice and patience will be required to be successful. The projectile has good range, but it is incredibly slow moving and requires a direct hit to proc the stun. Use of this ability is what separates great heimers from good ones. Don't forget that an indirect hit will still damage and blind the target!
A good strategy for new players is to focus on landing your grenades just as a melee initiates; try and drop it just in front of you or directly on you as they enter. Early game it's useful for AoE on creeps, and you can practice with it by poking on your lane opponent from a range.
UPGRADE!!! is your ult. Popping it will net you an upgrade to every one of your abilities, and will make you a juggernaut for the next 6 seconds. It has the following effects:
-Heals your turrets to full.
-Adds slowing frost damage that scales with the skill (20/25/30%).
-Gives you two extra missiles for your Hextech Micro-Rockets ability.
-Increases the missile speed of your ch-1 concussion grenade from 750 to 1000.
Your ult will be most effective when you're dug in, with 2 turrets up to maximize your damage output. Additionally, because it heals your turrets back to full, it can turn the tides in an emergency. If you're desperate to escape a gank, use the slow on the turrets to run. You can even drop another turret behind you as you run to ensure your escape, but this becomes less effective towards the middle game.
Like any other champion, heimer has a handful of "core items," as well as many useful items to counter-build with. I'm going to separate this chapter into three sections: starting items, core items, and defensive items.
The items you walk out the gate with are very important; it may be a while before you get relief or find an opening to recall. Core items are the things you should be building between defensive items, or when you're having zero problems with survivability. Defensive items are the hardest to catalog, as what you should be buying is incredibly situational; my goal here is to outline some items I think you should consider, my opinion about when and why you should buy them.
This is BY NO MEANS a complete look at all the items you'll ever need on heimer. That would be impossible; this game is too subjective and every match is different. Item building is arguably the mechanic most suited to personal taste and playstyle, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt! Play enough and you'll have your own build for heimer that might be way better than what I've suggested here :)
Mana Potion will be important for the very beginning game. Buying 2-3 will ensure you have enough mana to do your job until you can buy some new items.
Fiendish Codex is my personal favorite out of the gate. A nice AP bonus, mana regen, and CDR, all of which benefit you early on. However, best of all, it upgrades to Morello's Evil Tome for paltry 1105G!
Chalice of Harmony and Boots of Speed can be an effective starting strategy as well. The passive will continue to give you scaling mana regen throughout the game, and you can almost always afford your Sorcerer's Shoes as soon as you have a chance to buy them. For me, however, the AP and CDR of the Fiendish Codex are still to hard to pass up. I would only recommend this build if you know you'll be facing an AP character on the bottom lane that will be able to jump you, or that you've struggled against in the past.
catalyst the protector might be a better decision if you want magic resist early. The extra health will help your survivability out of the gate, and there are two upgrade options once you have a chance to buy; Odyn's Veil for another 1390G will give you some serious MR, HP, and mana if you're still struggling against another AP; or, if you'd rather have some extra damage instead, pick up Rod of Ages for an additional 1710G.
Sorcerer's Shoes will be your preferred pair of footwear on heimer. A good item to finish 1st or 2nd, depending on how your mana pool is holding up.
Morello's Evil Tome is an item I've grown to love on my time as heimer. The two-stage build with the Fiendish Codex (meaning it's 1245G + 1105G or 2350G), excellent AP, CDR, much needed early mana regen...did I mention the price?
Rylai's Crystal Scepter is commonly referred to as the "caster's Frozen Mallet," and it's hard not to agree. This is a *critical* item for you, and I would recommend building it 3rd (after your Sorcerer's Shoes) if you're having no problems with survivability yet; or, if you're getting thumped on, pick up an appropriate defensive item first and build this 4th. The slow will not stack with your turrets, but that's okay! You still have missiles, grenades, and autoattacks to proc it, and when you have your UPGRADE!!! up - nobody is leaving your turret alive. Dun-dun-DUNNNNNNNN!
Rabadon's Deathcap is a pretty self-explanatory item. Lots of AP (140) and a scaling 30% AP bonus, this will make you hurty and angry. Mostly because of how expensive it is at 3600G. Don't build one until later in the game, maybe as your 4th item at the earliest.
Void Staff is a sexy little beast of an item, clocking in at a frighteningly reasonable 2295G. The 70AP is nice, but the magic penetration is what makes our little friend here irreplaceable. Building this is a great way to overcome the MR that your enemies have been building (thanks to your domination, I'm sure!) by the mid to late game. If the game lasts long enough, you should almost always end up with one.
Abyssal Mask might look like a counter-build or defensive item at first glance with 57MR, but don't be fooled; the 70AP combined with a 20MR aura means there's more offense than defense present here. For only 2650G, this item can be incredible in the right circumstances. The price means you can grab one for your 3rd item without too much trouble, and if your lane opponent is AP or their team is AP heavy, this is a must have!
Odyn's Veil is one of the better MR items you have at your disposal. A moderate chunk of health and mana, 50MR, and best of all, a flat 10% reduction vs. magic damage. Use the active to dish out some extra punishment when you have a good charge going. Yours for 2715G.
Zhonya's Hourglass is considered a core item by many heimer players, but I beg to differ! While excellent against an AD in your lane or against an AD heavy team, the 3100G price tag and active effect make me hesitate. In the right situations, a Zhonya's can turn the tides for you; the 50 armor and 2 second invulnerability will give you massive survivability against AD, while the whopping 100AP means you're getting more damage output while increasing your lifespan. Just make sure you're not building this every game, only when you need to make the enemy AD sit up and pay attention.
Frozen Heart can also be a good defensive item for those pesky AD. Unlike Zhonya's, the Frozen Heart is almost exclusively defense focused; 99 armor, and an aura that reduces enemy attack speed by 20% within 1000 range. The extra 20% CDR and 500 mana are a nice bonus too, and the price is moderate at 2775G.
Lich Bane is a balanced way to pick up some MR. The biggest problem is the price tag at 3470G. AP, a little MR, mana, and movespeed are nice, but the best part of the item is (per usual) the unique effect: your physical attacks do 100% of your AP as damage once every two seconds! I wouldn't consider Lich Bane until you're mostly built out (i.e. as your 5th item) and looking for an interesting item to finish with.
Thornmail will give you a massive armor boost and 30% damage return, but you're paying 2000G for a single stat item, and enemies can negate the damage return with MR (yes, it's returned as magic damage, huhwat). Don't buy it unless you have no other options.
Guardian Angel is more viable for a tower-camping heimer than it is for most other heroes. Better to not die, but the extra life can prevent a tower cap or get the kill. And I say can, because most of the time it won't. Inconsistent at best, for 2600G this is basically an expensive way to troll people. You could build worse things, though.
Hopefully you're now familiar with heimer's skills and some basic strategies for them. Now it's time to move on to the metagame and your role as the team's bot. Wait, just kidding, I'm getting back on my soapbox!
MAP AWARENESS IS EVERYTHING. If you're going to avoid ganks, you must know where the enemy team is at all times! When they push mid, be careful and don't let them set up on you! If they go for your mid or top instead, resume business as usual. You will not be successful as an individual or a team without this.
THIS. Once you have a firm grasp of how to maximize your turrets' effectiveness, you can start dominating your lane. The beginning of the game is very important for you, much more critical than your team's success in the first teamfight at top. Let's take a look at how I like to do it!
When the game starts, make a break for your team's bottom tower. When the creep waves meet in the center of the map, pop your missiles and a grenade until you hit level 4 and can drop a second point into H-28G Evolution Turret. (Remember, once your turret is placed it will not upgrade as you put more points into the skill). Now it's time to place it! Drop it just to the north of where the creeps are battling. If you're getting pressured early, back off and play it safe or promote, and hang in there until you can get some assistance or turn the tides. Otherwise, try and position yourself to have free access to the health pack until you push through. Time for a visual aide!
When you start to push, place your next turret so that it will be in range of the enemy creeps as they come out of the spawn, and be able to hit any champions that come off their tower to poke you. Here's a visual aide.
Ready to have some fun? If you push hard and cap your enemy's bot, or they push you back and you find yourself needing to defend your tower, get ready to have some fun! Try and drop your turrets as close to the base as you can get them. This will stop them from being picked off without enemies engaging the tower itself. Now, become the master baiter you were born to be! Walk to the edge of the tower and path back again, launching your Hextech Micro-Rockets just after you turn around. Use your grenades to stun enemies trying to poke or harass you, or who get careless and try to hold it for their friends to jump. If you know the rush is coming, save the grenade for a stun under the tower. Use your ult when enemies have fully committed to ensure the slow keeps them in range. Kite them around the tower, spamming your missile when it's available and dropping stun grenades at their feet. Make sure none of them are clicking the tower to neutralize it, as it will provide DPS you desperately need. Here's where I usually drop mine:
"AHA!" you say, "but where are the creeps so I can have a better frame of reference?" Well fret not dear reader, for lo I present unto you, more screenshots! These will be more similar to what you'll see in game. Note that I have my CH-1 CONCUSSION GRENADE selected to give you an idea of how far away you can harass from.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my guide, or referencing it! This is my first guide, and I'm a relatively new player, so give me your feedback! I plan on keeping the guide as updated as it can be, so let me know how to do that!
See a mistake? Comment! Have a better alternative item/build/rune/etc.? Comment? Did I forget something? You get the idea :) Or just say hi!
Special thanks to Azch for helping me with the screenshots and for proofreading!

PS, I'm putting this in here ahead of time because I guarantee I'll get flamed for my Morello's Evil Tome and I wanted it on record that I saw it coming! :(

Property management has changed dramatically over the past couple of decades according to Spencer Pang, Executive Director of DTZ Debenham Tie Leung. Since the days of simply sorting out the garbage collection and setting the watchman roster, property management has become a huge multi-disciplinary business.
Mr Pang joined the industry nearly two decades ago after deciding to switch over from a promising career in construction.
"At the time, the construction industry was particularly active, but entering the profession was far from simple," he recalls. "Even with a Polytechnic diploma, it was difficult to get a good foothold."
About that time, in 1982-1983, the local property market suffered some turbulence, which set the young Mr Pang thinking about alternative career routes. Some friends who were already in property management had good things to say about the field, so he decided to switch.
A growing skill set
Since then, he has accumulated 18 years of professional experience in building construction, design, project management, facilities and property management. Mr Pang was a Senior Associate Director of Jones Lang Wootton before joining C Y Leung & Company - which merged with DTZ and Edmund Tie & Company to form DTZ Debenham Tie Leung in 2000.
"Since I started out in the business, property management has changed radically, encompassing a broad knowledge of research, valuation, property investment, management, interior design, building construction management and facilities management activities," says Mr Pang. "In the early days property management was just about organising the watchman and the cleaners, but in modern buildings there is a plethora of facilities such as clubhouses and shopping centres. As a result, clients demand a greater range and higher quality of services."
Property management is highly regulated, and coupled with the multidisciplinary demands of the industry, Mr Pang decided to undertake an MBA course to complement his associate memberships of the Chartered Institute of Builders, the Hong Kong Institute of Builders and the Hong Kong Human Resources Management Association.
"In this business, many senior professionals are qualified chartered surveyors and also members of the UK-based Chartered Institute of Housing (Member of Institute of Housing - MIH)," notes Mr Pang, who opted for the MBA route of self-improvement, as he does not fulfil the MIH's entry requirements. "One of the great benefits of getting an MBA was that it gave me a better overall view of how businesses are run and helped me to understand companies' and customers' needs."
Attitude and aptitude
Knowledge will become an increasingly important factor for property managers in the future, and Mr Pang notes that post 1997 the government has ushered in new requirements for public sector housing management. On-site managers now need to have MIH membership and be Chartered Surveyors whereas previously, strong working experience and good industry references were sufficient. Mr Pang notes that these increasing levels of regulation simply reflect the nature of the modern property management.
"To be successful in this field you need a wide knowledge base and be able to handle both the frontline and backroom aspects of the job," he says. "From an administrative perspective, a property manager must pay close attention to detail when setting staff policies, safety precautions and supervising frontline staff, but should also remember that this is a service role above all else."
On a more general level, Mr Pang believes that years of economic prosperity in Hong Kong has resulted in a generation of workers with a more cynical attitude to the workplace. He counsels those entering the profession to be patient, continue learning and improve their competencies to gain long term rewards.
"I've never been a company hopper, and I'd advise others not to follow this method either," he says. "This way you can build up trust and earn loyalty and eventually earn your rewards. The current attitude tends to be that workers want rewards before they put in the effort, but the market doesn't always operate like that, especially in times of economic difficulty. If a worker can prove his worth first, he is in a much stronger position when it comes to negotiating his own package."
Mr Pang believes, China is clearly the way to go with its huge geographical area and volume of business, and this will lead to an associated demand for skilled management professionals.
He says: "Now 70 per cent of our property management operations are in China, and a particularly attractive point from the property management perspective is the sheer size of properties we can manage. In some cases the developments can reach 500,000 square meters and combine a wide range of facilities, ranging from shopping to leisure, office, residential and serviced apartments - this is very rare in Hong Kong."
Pang identifies a strong command of Putonghua and familiarity with local laws and regulations as major advantages in operating on the mainland. He notes that in many areas there is a completely different regulatory structure to Hong Kong; hence on-site staff must have the relevant licences for their locality, which can range from fire safety, electrical issues and even the collecting of management fees.

Favorite Characters
First graders were doing character studies in their classrooms so I thought it would be fun to meet a few characters in the library. We "met" new characters each class for a few weeks. After we met Frog and Toad, Squid and Octopus, and a few other fantastic book characters, students introduced their favorite characters. They are now hanging around the library inspiring readers to try out their books. You can find a free copy of the character introduction paper we used in my TPT store!

Implementing the First Best in an Agency Relationship with Renegotiation: A Corrigendum
The insect antennal lobe is the first brain structure to process olfactory information. Like the vertebrate olfactory bulb the antennal lobe is substructured in olfactory glomeruli. In insects, glomeruli can be morphologically identified, and have characteristic olfactory response profiles. Local neurons interconnect glomeruli, and output (projection) neurons project to higher-order brain centres. The relationship between their elaborate morphology and their physiology is not understood. We recorded electrophysiologically from antennal lobe neurons, and iontophoretically injected a calcium-sensitive dye. We then measured their spatio-temporal calcium responses to a variety of odours. Finally, we confocally reconstructed the neurons, and identified the innervated glomeruli. An increase or decrease in spiking frequency corresponded to an intracellular calcium increase or decrease in the cell. While intracellular recordings generally lasted between 10 and 30 min, calcium imaging was stable for up to 2 h, allowing a more detailed physiological analysis. The responses indicate that heterogeneous local neurons get input in the glomerulus in which they branch most strongly. In many cases, the physiological response properties of the cells corresponded to the known response profile of the innervated glomerulus. In other words, the large variety of response profiles generally found when comparing antennal lobe neurons is reduced to a more predictable response profile when the innervated glomerulus is known.

Chief Claypool was shot and killed with his own weapon during a struggle with a suspect.
He had responded to a report of a suspicious person and became engaged in a struggle when he made contact with the suspect. During the struggle the suspect gained control of Chief Claypool's handgun and shot him.
The man was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death. He appealed on insanity and his conviction was overturned in 1990. He was removed from death row and committed in a state mental hospital when it was discovered that the state psychologist who deemed him fit for trial was a high school dropout practicing medicine with fake credentials.
Chief Claypool had served with Hurtsboro Police Department agency for seven years.
