text: RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 45220025 LA English T1 Across an untried sea : discovering lives hidden in the shadow of convention and time A1 Markus, Julia,, PB Knopf : Distributed by Random House PP New York YR 2000 SN 0679445994 9780679445999 AB This volume explores the interlocking circles of female friendships among Victorian women, especially those associated with Jane Welsh Carlyle and Charlotte Cushman. Cushman was the most acclaimed actress in America and England in her day, and Carlyle, wife of Thomas Carlyle, is remembered for her volumes of letters. Both women attracted and supported other artistic and literary women, notably, in Cushman's case, the young American sculptors Harriet Hosmer and Emma Stebbins. Many of these independent women challenged conventional roles and society in their professional and private lives, from writers and poets to sculptors and social reformers. They were celebrated in their day, but forgotten in modern times. Retrieves the lives of Victorian women--writers, actresses, poets, journalists, sculptors, and social reformers--celebrated in their day but forgotten in ours. Focuses in particular on the American Charlotte Cushman, the most famous English-speaking actress of her day, and on the Scottish Jane Welsh Carlyle, a brilliant London hostess who gave up private ambition to become the wife of her friend Thomas Carlyle, a difficult, demanding man with whom she had a sexless marriage. Cushman became an international star on the New York and London stage, and her Romeo and Hamlet were sensations. An independent woman with shrewd business sense who made her own fortune and supported her entire family, she dressed like a man from the waist up and had a succession of female lovers, each one of whom she planned to live with for life, each of whom she 'married.' Interweaving the worlds of expatriate Rome, literary London, New York, and St. Louis, Markus gathers together a number of interrelated and renowned women who were relegated in the public eye to the position of Virgin Queen (no matter how much married) or Old Maid, but who were, in fact, privately leading vibrant, independent, sexual lives.--From publisher description.

The controversial decision that sent X-Factor Carolynne Poole home and saved Rylan Clark on Sunday was met with criticism, not least of all from judge Gary Barlow. In fact, the Take That singer felt so strongly against the decision following Poole's stunning sing-off performance that he stormed off the stage.
All this played out after judge Louis Walsh, who initially wanted to save Carolynne, changed his mind and opted to save Rylan leading the decision to a deadlock.
With fellow judge Nicole Sherzinger predictably voting to save Rylan, her act, Barlow opting for his contestant Carolynne, and Tulisa Contostavlos also voting for Carolynne to stay, Louis Walsh had the final vote.
In the end, Rylan received the most votes from the public, which meant that Carolynne became the first of the contestants to be booted off this year's X-Factor.
Barlow left the stage as soon as the decision was revealed, in an act that suggested his disgust the chain of events and this brought gasps from the audience. He did not wait to hear what Carolynne had to say, but took some time to criticise Rylan, from Essex, for his poor performance. Rylan also left the stage shortly after that.
While other judges were not as harsh, they all agreed that Carolynne's performance was visibly the better performance.

It's a sony dvd player, has anybody experienced this and how was it resolved. Also since it's driving me crazy suggest some new dvd players you like or ones to avoid? __________________

I will be taking a cruise with my daughter in January, during her winter break from college. One of the stops will be in Cartagena, and I have arranged for a private tour with a guide that seems to be widely recommended on the forums over at Cruise Critic.
I have done private shore excursions before on other cruises, but have never contemplated sharing my tour with others because on the other cruises I was traveling with additional family members who joined us on the tours and we split the cost.
However, this time around it's just my daughter and me, so it is an attractive thought to share the excursion and split the cost with other people. I would be posting this on my roll call at Cruise Critic, but since I've never offered to share my excursion before I've got general worries - my main concern is that if I've got 4-6 other people (I would limit the group to 8 people max) who say they will join the tour and then some of them no-show. This would put the remaining people who did show in an uncomfortable spot of having to pay more than they originally thought. Granted, not my fault, but as the "organizer" I would feel bad.
If I chose to share my excursion I will share my communications with the tour guide so everything is up front re costs, planned itinerary (though I would be flexible on the options the guide offered, like going to an additional site or not, some shopping or no shopping) - but essentially I will be making arrangements with people I don't know.
So I'm wondering for those that have shared their private excursions - what did you do to ensure that everything went smoothly - the people that committed to go actually showed and how you got a group together that got along generally well together?

Sharing private shore excursions
I will be taking a cruise with my daughter in January, during her winter break from college. One of the stops will be in Cartagena, and I have arranged for a private tour with a guide that seems to be widely recommended on the forums over at Cruise Critic.

I have organized many private tours and had nothing but great success! I would scour the travel boards and find out who others used and the reviews of that guide. I think that you would not have any problem sharing a tour if you are the organizer. I would first contact the tour guide you are interested in and see if he is available for the date of your tour, find out how much he would be charging for the tour, whether he will accept payment for the tour on the day of the tour, how many participants he can take in the tour, what type of vehicle he would be using and any other criteria you would need to organize the tour. I personally do not like having to guarantee the tour w/ my credit card but I know others have done this. Most of the tour guides I have worked with are happy w/ payment on the day of the tour. Also find out what type of currency they will accept for the tour. If you have to exchange currency then you have to factor in the exchange rate of the country. If a tour guide has a good reputation then he/she is not looking to destroy that credibility he/has with his followers. If all things meet your criteria, then go ahead and post on Cruise Critic and see how many might be interested in the tour. You can set the number of participants for the tour so you don't have too large a group. Depending upon the vehicle used, I like to keep my tours on the smaller side - 8-12 people. Once you have received your tour price then you can tell everyone the approximate cost of the tour and whether the tip is included. I prefer to add the tip into the price so there is no worry about whether people will tip or not tip. I have not had any problems organizing my tours this way. People are so happy to have someone else organize a tour and they don't have to do anything but show up! I can give you more info if you decide you want to pursue your tour.
I send out several emails once people commit to the tour, updating them on what is happening, giving them details about collecting the tour money prior to leaving the ship, where you will meet everyone to collect their money and deciding upon the meeting place where you all will meet to join your tour guide. It is also important to get the full names of your tour participants, what cabin # they have so if anything does change you have a way to contact them. The cruise line will not share this information with you if you don't have this info at your disposal. It is not as daunting as it sounds! LOL
I love organizing these private tours, meeting so many wonderful people, etc. I can give you my email address if you would like to contact me for further info. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. I have already made the reservation with the tour guide, and payment is due in cash at the end of the tour. If I share the tour, I think I would rather have each couple/person pay the tour guide directly their share rather than me collect money prior to the tour.
Getting the cabin numbers is a good idea - I would probably suggest a brief meet up on the first sea day prior to the tour so we can confirm our plans.
So I guess you've not had a problem with no shows? Maybe I'm worrying unnecessarily.
Report Abuse
Hi chepar, good for you, you are already booked with the tour guide. If you feel more comfortable having everyone pay the tour guide individually at the end of the tour that is your prerogative. I used to do my tours this way but I always worried if someone would forget to pay the guide. LOL
I would suggest that you do a "Meet 'N Greet" on a day other than day 1 for several reasons. Everyone is just getting acclimated to the ship, settling in their cabins, unpacking luggage, having to do the muster, and becoming familiar with the ship, so that another day would be better unless your tour is the next day. Pick an assigned spot on the ship (a lounge or other spot) and let everyone know before you leave home where your meeting will be. If you don't have that many people in your tour you could always just contact them on their cabin phone. I like to meet everyone prior to tour time, makes for a more comfortable tour.
No shows - not ever had one! That is one reason I like to collect the money prior to the tour because you know that people have paid and will show up. However, I wouldn't worry about it, I think it will be fine. Once you post your tour you will be surprised how quickly people will respond. Get backup names, emails, and cabin #'s in case something happens. I send a final email out confirming date of tour, meeting place (either all get together on the ship and get off the ship together or designate a spot on the pier to all meet. It's really quite simple organizing these tours!
Good luck.

Following reports that Russian athletes inhaled xenon to boost their performance at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, the World Anti-Doping Agency has announced it will begin enforcing a new ban on the gas beginning early next week.
The amendment was prompted by what WADA President Sir Craig Reedie called "significant and pressing topics" discussed at a meeting last spring.
Enforcement on other newly banned substances -- including the gas argon -- are also set to begin on Monday.
Last winter, a report from a German broadcaster claimed that Russian team members had been inhaling xenon dating back to the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Russian sports officials subsequently denied that its team had used xenon.
Argon and xenon are elements that are inert gases.

text: Hi guys, I'm having problems with my Wifi connecting to my home Router. It has been fine for months, even past the O2 2.2 update, always been fine. But since this morning, when I try and connect to my home wireless router, it says Remember WPA/PSK2 and sees its in range and tries to connect but just flicks between Connecting/Disconnected constantly. I've tried connecting to a BT Hotspot and that connects fine (Internet doesn't work, but thats cause you have to pay). Nothing has changed in my router config for months and months and not a single change on the phone either for weeks. So why is this happening now?! Any help would be appreciated, cheers!

Tender price escalation for major construction projects in Australia is set to intensify as trade shortages worsen and a booming apartment sector drives a shortage of subcontractor availability on major residential and commercial developments, a new report predicts.
In the report, quantity surveying outfit WT Partnership said activity within the construction sector was back on the rise notwithstanding the resource sector pull-back amid a strong pipeline of public sector infrastructure work and massive levels of private investment going into multi-residential developments.
According to WT, this was creating significant pressures on the availability of some trades and driving upward pressure on trade prices, with the impact spreading beyond the residential sector and into the commercial building space.
"Subcontractor capacity currently absorbed in residential construction is impacting on other sectors," the report states.
"Recent market feedback from contractors working in the retail sector for example indicates difficulty in sourcing adequate subcontractor coverage. The trend of subcontractors, and increasingly main contractors, to be more selective in tendering continues and some of our offices are experiencing increased difficulty in sourcing sufficient and appropriate tender interest."
In its report, WT said the economy remained subdued and an absence of pressures on inflation meant interest rates were likely to stay low for some time. The value of construction work done rose in the June quarter as a stronger building sector helped to offset the continued pull-back in resource related work.
In addition to the shortage of trades, cost pressures within the building sector are also stemming from persistent weakness in the Australian dollar, WT said, which could yet depreciate further if US interest rates rise.
State by state (According to WT):
Amid massive amounts of money going into multi-residential and infrastructure developments and a strong pipeline of work in office fitouts and upgrades, upward pressures on costs throughout New South Wales are extremely strong and tender price escalation of five per cent is expected to continue over the near term.
While prices for structural trades appear to have peaked, tier one contractors are reporting that those for finishing trades in areas such as ceilings, partitions and joinery are finding a new 'norm' at higher levels on the back of major projects.
Strong price escalation is also expected for Queensland, where a booming townhouse and apartment building market is absorbing capacity amongst all tiers of contractors and has created trade specific bottlenecks in areas such as formwork, concrete, post-tensioning, reinforcement fix, partitions and linings, painting, tiling and mechanical and electrical services. The Gold Coast in particular has a strong pipeline of work in the lead up to the Commonwealth Games, not least now that the federal government has agreed to help fund the Gold Coast Light Rail project.
In Victoria, WT says the market is difficult to read as recent tenders have seen some contractors show discretion toward the type of projects for which they bid but others display keener tendencies for new work. Such difficulties are being compounded amid a growing number of factors. Commentators are predicting a downturn in the market and uncertainty over the impact of new planning restrictions on high-rise apartments and subcontractor availability remaining challenged in some areas, though there are continued strong levels of apartment building approvals. Overall, modest to strong levels of tender price escalation are expected.
More modest levels of escalation are expected in the improving market of Tasmania, as well as Western Australia and the ACT. In Tasmania, contractor and associated subcontractor capacity in the tier-one segment of the market is likely to become saturated amid a healthy pipeline of new projects including the massive Royal Hobart Hotel and NRAS 430-bed student accommodation. With many subbies having left the market for better opportunities in other states during recent lean times, a shallow pool of available subcontractors is putting pressures on the supply of partitions and lining and electrical service trades.
While a growing pipeline of smaller projects in sectors like retail, hospitality and infrastructure looks likely to drive improving conditions in some areas of commercial building in metropolitan Perth, price pressures across WA will be restricted by the freeing up of contractors and tradespeople from work on major resource projects as well as the recent expansion of eastern state contractors into the Perth market.
Despite growing property sector confidence and a likely medium term improvement in detached house building following the recent release of more land, meanwhile, price escalation in the ACT is expected to be restricted as subcontractors remain hungry for work amid a subdued outlook across most commercial building sectors.
In other states, subdued market conditions and competitive pricing are expected to remain in South Australia in the short term, while no information or forecasts have been supplied for the Northern Territory.
Companies can still bring out as many "professionals" as they like without any requirement for local labour market testing under the 457 guidelines. But, things might not so good for employers in the future. As the article states, as declining Aussie dollar may not be so enticing to attract new 457 entrants as the UK market seems to be booming so their labour pool seems to be drying up. Could there be a solution to the "shortage" of skilled labour in Australia? such as offering apprenticeships, cadetships and traineeships for new entrants, and training older people from other market sectors that could (sorry, want) work in the construction sector?
One issue for subcontractors is insolvency caused by non-payment- wrongful withholding of money and extremely unfair contracts and payment conditions being forced upon them currently. Why would subcontractors enter this industry under the prevailing conditions? The recommendations from the Senate Inquiry into Insolvency in the Australian Construction Industry will be interesting and the governments response even more so. Time for a rethink about this industry.
whenever a head contractor goes bust it seems to always emanate from NSW – i.e. St Hilliers, Reed, Kell & Rigby, ICMG, Waltons and Southern Cross. Not to mention Leightons wheels almost coming off…There is something fundamentally wrong with the culture of NSW companies and risks that they take. Their margins and risks are seemingly beyond their capabilities. Must be a case of those giant Sydney egos getting in the way of common sense….

Mexican inflation pressures eased towards the start of Q2. Inflation fell to 2.5% year-over-year in April from 2.6% in March, due to a sharp fall in energy inflation--as a result of the introduction of new electricity tariffs in the warm season--and a fall in the rate of increase of fresh food prices.

On Feb. 16, the SCAD Museum of Art hosted the reception introducing this year's showcases, presentations, productions and events making up the annual deFINE ART. The event exhibited the works of Daniel Arsham, Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt, Steven and William Ladd, Lavar Munroe, Cornelia Parker, Robin Rhode, Alec Soth, Corinne Wasmuht and — with special recognition — this year's guest of honor and keynote speaker Carrie Mae Weems.
DeFINE ART 2016 took place between Feb. 16-19, and the reactions toward the reception and this year's art was positive.
"There's a fantastic quality to it. It's very surreal, and it's a place you want to go," said third-year advertising major Noah Brennan from Gainesville, Florida, when exposed to Corinne Wasmuht's "Gewalt."
"The longer you look at it, the more you see. Her colors move, pulsate, and merge," said third-year architecture major Barrett Higginbotham from Starkville, Mississippi, alongside Brennan.
Third-year photography major Emily Galvin from Orlando, Florida and third-year fashion major Jackson McCabe from Clemmons, North Carolina could not agree more with the students viewing Wasmuht's work beside them.
These SCAD students of varying majors are among many that were in pure awe and intrigue at the work of the artists. Keep an eye out for deFINE ART 2017 and contact the SCAD Museum of Art for further information.

What are your options?
If you are a Contractor/Freelancer/Temporary Worker working in the UK then you have 4 main trading options that are easily available to you:
- Recruitment Agency PAYE (Assuming your Agency provides this service)
- Working via a PAYE Umbrella Company
- Providing your services through your own Limited Company (PSC or Personal Service Company)
- Working Self-Employed through the Construction Industry Scheme(CIS) or as a Sole Trader
To decide which option is the best route to follow to fit in with your personal circumstances have a look at all the information below together with all of the contractor resources we have made available in the sections – Useful Guides, Jargon Buster and FAQs.
Recruitment Agency PAYE
Most people find work these days through Recruitment Agencies and some Recruitment Agencies still process the payroll of workers themselves. Whilst they pay you and sort out your Tax and National Insurance contributions on a Pay As You Earn (PAYE) basis, it is important to understand what you don't get from them. The Agency doesn't employ you so therefore you do not get the benefit of full employment rights such as Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) etc.
Some Agencies only work with a small number of Clients so in order to keep in regular work you may end up having to change Agency frequently to get new assignments. The Agency will also pay you at a lower hourly/daily rate to protect their profitability on each assignment as they incur additional employment costs by processing your payroll directly.
Good option if:
- You are only going to be temping for a short while and expect to have a new permanent job soon
- You are not incurring any expenses on food and travel in order to carry out the assignment
- You are happy for someone else to do everything for you and just want a regular payment rather than the highest amount of pay available to you
Not a good option if:
- You don't want to be reliant on just the one Agency to keep you in regular work
- You expect to be Contracting for a longer period and therefore change assignments frequently
- You are incurring expenses on each assignment and this is affecting your take home pay
- You want full employment rights
PAYE Umbrella Company
An Umbrella Company, such as your umbrella enables you to get paid with full employments rights under a PAYE scheme with the added benefit of being able to offset the expenses you incur whilst on assignment against your Tax and NI costs to increase the amount of money you take home. All Umbrella Companies Are Equal in the way that they operate apart from the fees that they charge and the quality of the work that they do. Some Umbrella Companies generate more money for themselves by charging extra to process expenses, make same day payments or carry out any additional admin on your behalf.
When you're on the umbrella company's payroll, your pay is determined by your specific assignment, and the umbrella company will invoice, chase and retrieve the money due for the hours/days you have worked in any given period. A good umbrella company will also provide a full contract of employment, HR support, guaranteed hours of work, invoicing and timesheet management and be fully compliant with all Tax and Employment Legislation.
Good option if:
- You are going to be in regular work on short term assignments from 1 day to 6 months
- You will be working with more than one Recruitment Agency
- You want to try contracting for a while before committing
- You want to be fully protected from IR35/MSC Legislation and enjoy full AWR rights
- You are incurring expenses on each assignment and this is affecting your take home pay
Not a good option if:
- You incur more expenses than just travel and subsistence
- Your assignments are longer than 6 months
- You're not afraid of paperwork and are quite happy taking on additional responsibility for your accounts
- You don't have internet access
- You have no expenses
- You are a high earner, e.g. over £35K per year
Limited Company (PSC)
Setting up a limited company is the most popular option for contractors, because it's often the most profitable. For example, you may pay significantly less in National Insurance contributions.
Limited liability Companies are their own individual legal entities, which simply means for a contractor that your personal finances and company finances should be treated as two separate things. As a contractor, therefore, you will not be personally responsible for any company debts (although as a company director you might be asked to give a personal guarantee for securing any borrowing such as bank loans etc).
However, it does come hand in hand with added responsibility; you'll be running your own business, which means setting up a company, arranging your own insurance, finding an accountant, taking responsibility for your accounts, checking your IR35 status and making sure you're paying the right tax.
Carefully choosing a specialist Contractor Accountant such as your psc will enable you to have the vast majority of responsibility taken off your shoulders and certainly nearly all of the paperwork off your desk.
Contractors often test the water by going with an umbrella company first, then move on to setting up their own limited company if they decide that contracting is their long-term career choice.
Good option if:
- You're working on multiple short projects and want to be your own boss
- You incur a wider variety of business expenses and want to increase the amount of your contract income that you take home
- You've decided to commit to contracting for the longer term
- You're accepting of the extra responsibility and not afraid of risk
- You're comfortable with managing your own finances and responsible enough to set aside money to pay your tax
- You don't do it all yourself and use a Contractor Accountant, like your psc, to take minimise the workload
Not a good option if:
- You just want to get paid for your work and don't want any extra workload or responsibility at all
- You don't or don't want to understand the principles of tax, IR35, National Insurance contributions etc.
- You want to pay your tax regularly under a pay as you earn scheme (PAYE), instead of with one big tax bill
- You earn below £35,000 a year
- You've been bankrupt in the past
Self-Employed (Sole Trader)
Working as a sole trader is the simplest form of contracting, however, it is arguably the riskiest also. It's the simplest because all you have to do is register as self-employed with HMRC and you can then receive all of your payments gross of Tax and NI – don't forget that you will need to put money aside to pay this at the end of the tax year! It's the riskiest though because, unlike the Limited Company option, you are personally liable for any debts that your business runs up, including Tax and NI, meaning your home or other assets could be at risk if things go wrong.
Working as a sole trader means you will need to complete a self assessment tax return every year in order to calculate the exact amount of Tax and NI that you owe to HMRC but, as with running a limited company, a good Small Business Accountant like your sole trader specialising in accounting for self-employed contractors will be able to handle all of this for you.
As ALL expenses relate to the work that you do then being a sole trader enables you to offset a larger amount against Tax and NI than you would be able to through the Umbrella solution. Although you are able to reduce your NI bill with expenses as a sole trader you are still better off with a limited company when it comes to NI payments because by paying yourself a dividend rather than salary your money is not subject to NI.
There is an employment risk involved for a recruitment agency engaging with you directly as a sole trader; so unless you use the services of your sole trader to act as your intermediary accountant then you may have to find most of your work yourself.
Good choice if:
- You work for a number of different clients simultaneously
- You incur a significant amount of expenses in your line of work
- You are capable of retaining money on account to take care of your end of year liabilities
- You want to reduce your legal responsibilities
- You want to be your own boss
- You want to set up quickly, easily and cheaply
Not so good if:
- You want to maximise your NI efficiency
- You don't want the responsibility of finding all your assignments by yourself
- You have longer assignments
Self-Employed (Construction Industry Scheme)
If you're a self-employed construction worker then you'll probably know all about the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). The CIS is an efficient way for construction workers to account for their tax as a sole trader with gross status or by paying tax as you go, on account, at either 20% or 30% depending on your tax status with HMRC.
By completing a Self Assessment Tax Return at year end you are almost certain to be able to claim a tax rebate. The good news is that a registered scheme provider such as your cis can take care of everything for you regardless of where you are contracting in the UK at any moment in time.
Good choice if:
- You want to set up quickly, easily and cheaply
- You are comfortable with being self-employed
- You want a better return than PAYE
Not so good if:
- You don't want the responsibility of paying your tax and NI bills at year end
- You prefer to have someone else do all the work on your behalf under a PAYE scheme
Our expertise means it's your choice. If you want to know more, it's all available for you on our website, right here. Or pick up the phone, we're nice.

Nothing too exciting to report tonight. I had one of the worst runthroughs of my life this afternoon - I literally thought I was going to fall asleep on stage. (I think I didn't get enough sleep because the cleaning woman tried to come into my room at 8:50 in the morning.) But tonight's run was a million times better.
The only dicey thing was that I hurt my throat a little bit in one of my big scenes. So I'm not doing a lot of talking tonight. I'll probably just stay up a bit longer to see what happens in the wild card race (baseball) and then hit the sack. No rehearsal 'til 2 t'm'row...I'm excited...

This four part documentary series looks into the issue of racism in Australia. Despite what it seems Australia is a nation built on the foundation of racism. Aboriginal men and women were killed from the onset of the establishment of settlements in Australia and later on aboriginal children were kidnapped and forced into schools under the pretext of education and assimilation. These very children latter became known as the stolen generation who brought about shame and regret for the Australian government. Yet despite the government apologies and the spirit of reconciliation the problem of racism is imbedded in Australian society, and it is not merely aimed at indigenous Australians. This documentary reveals the racism felt first hand by immigrants and Aboriginals alike.
Down and Under-p1
SOUNDBITE [English], Stephen Ridgway, Aboriginal Elder: "We are in a place called Prefer lee Mission, its situated 3 kilometers from the main town Taree on the mid north coast of NSW, we are standing on the ground of my people, and I was born on the back of this mission in 1948. This place brings a lot of memories and I love it very much. As the Old People told me, my Mother and my Grandparent, I was born in 1948 but my mother being sixteen and the Aboriginal protection board being around then so she was constantly on the run from the Aboriginal protection board and she never registered me till a year later, 1949. Around Taree, We lived off bush food and the sea and the river, so pretty healthy until we were put on rations, our people were put on rations, a bit of flour and sugar so it changed our lifestyle, other than the manager being there. He controlled everything. We didn't have much say. You are only allowed in the town at a certain hourI had a good upbringing from the Elders there and they led us through wisely."
SOUNDBITE [English], Stephen Ridgway, Aboriginal Elder: "But it wasn't until January in '57, I think it was, that these blokes in suits came into the door and they were the Aboriginal protection board. I was 9 years old and it was exactly platform one here, this was the north coast line which went to Kempsey. Behind you, yeah, over this way, and behind me a couple of platforms back was the south coast line were my brother and sister were taken to Cootamundra, yes, and that was my first encounter with the police. That's my mother. That's what I remember her as when I left central, a young woman. This was us three, before we got sent away. Mum's gone now. She has been dead for a while. I think she died from a broken heart really. The racism back in them days, you know, you can imagine. Yeah, I never had seen my sister until I turned fifty. We were separated that long, we never got to knew each other. Ah, my brother Les, he lives in Redfern."
SOUNDBITE [English], Stephen Ridgway, Aboriginal Elder: "The police dropped us off at this institution, Kinchella boys home. It was about 40 miles out of the main town, on the river, on the Macleay River. The river was just across the road from the boy's home. It was a 32 acre farm and they had a school, two dormitories, you know, we all had jobs but the sad thing about it, we never had names and we had numbers, Very traumatizing experience, sometimes well. All we had was each other the boys. We are all families. That's me there. We couldn't even talk to our own people when we were going to the school. What they used to call the mission blacks, that lived in these homes and we were under the Aboriginal protection thing so we was like we were white. That was one of the main punishments in the boys home, when you land there, they drilled into your head that you were white. So, yeah very sad really, but it happened you know its fact."
SOUNDBITE [English], Ray Jackson, Aboriginal Elder: "The governments of this country actively took Aboriginal children from their parents and changed their names and put them out to other people. There are still people out there who can't find their families and there are still those out there who don't even know about their Aboriginal heritage. My earliest memory is, I must have been about four or five with my adopted family and prior to that I have no recollections. Now my mother, my adopted mother, she was very strong that I and especially the government, were not to know that I was of Aboriginal background otherwise they could take me again."
SOUNDBITE [English], Ray Jackson, Aboriginal Elder: "It was only in my mid-30's that I found out about the Aboriginal side but she wouldn't give me any names. I don't know why. Maybe she didn't want me going off on that tangent. Maybe she just wanted me to be what I was supposed to be, part of the normal race, you know, I don't know. She died. So I have no idea why she done that. I was told that my birth mother came from Orange which is over the mountains and I've been to Orange and I've tried to find people, Aboriginal people, who might know something but they don't know anything. It's very very difficult when you don't have names so I've just got to let it go. I mean, I am 72 now so I don't know how much longer I am here, whether it's one year or ten years or what bloody every but without names you're gone,. the Stolen Generations that were apologized to by Rudd still have that trauma, still have that biting need to know, if they don't know their family. They have the pain of being taken from their family, not just from their birth mother or father, but from their family. Their community. Their culture. The whole thing."
SOUNDBITE [English], Kevin Rudd, Former Prime minster of Australia: "It's time to reconcile, it's time to recognize the injustices of the past, it's time to say sorry, it's time to move forward together as prime minister of Australia I am sorry, on behalf of the government of Australia I am sorry, on behalf of the parliament of Australia I am sorry and I offer you this apology without qualification. I know that in offering this apology on behalf of the Government and the Parliament, there is nothing I can say today that can take away the pain you have suffered personally. Whatever words I speak today, I cannot undo that. Words alone are not that powerful, my proposal is this: if the apology we extend today is accepted in the spirit of reconciliation, in which it is offered, we can today resolve together that there be a new beginning for Australia. And it is to such a new beginning that I believe the nation is now calling us"
SOUNDBITE [English], Ray Jackson, Aboriginal Elder: "There are still out there now, a lot of grandmothers, a lot of Aunts and Uncles, who having got over the pup piece that Rudd done and the crowd felt good on that day but yesterday, tomorrow there is no difference to your lifestyle. There is no difference to what you go through every bloody day. The police don't stop knocking on your door. Racism doesn't stop. It was not enough. I am not talking about compensation. I am talking about the apology for what had been done to the mobs in this country, the traditional owners. It's more than just the stolen generations. It's more than that. I think a greater apology was Paul Keating's Redfern Park speech in which he, Paul Keating, totally outlined the errors that had been done to the Aboriginal people, from the time that the invaders first came here in 1788 up to the present day."
SOUNDBITE [English], Paul Keating, Former Prime minster of Australia: "The starting point might be to recognize that the problem starts with us non-Aboriginal Australians.
It begins, I think, with that act of recognition, recognition that it was we who did the dispossessing. We took the traditional lands and smashed the traditional way of life. We brought the diseases, the alcohol. We committed the murders. We took the children from their mothers. We practiced discrimination and exclusion. It was our ignorance and our prejudice, and our failure to imagine that this things being done to us."
SOUNDBITE [English], Ray Jackson, Aboriginal Elder: "It encompasses much more than just the stolen kids. Its much more than that. There were stolen wages, there were stolen land, there was stolen everything. We lived in peace for sixty thousands years. Over the last 225 years, since the invasion, we have lost practically everything. We have had to fight, scream, argue, march, rally, do all these things trying to get a bit of justice."
SOUNDBITE [English], Len Ang, Director of Institute for Culture and Society: "Racism you can find everywhere, I think, so Australia in that sense is not unique but there are versions of racism in Australia that are quite historically specific to this country. We have to go back to how Australia was originally settled. It was Aboriginal land to begin with and back more than 200 years ago it was settled by the British, the Europeans and they became the dominant group in this country. It's a settler colonial country so I think the notion of settler colonialism is really important, that structurally Australia is a country that was settled by people from outside who came here to displace the original inhabitants which were the Aborigines. So in a way, that situation endures in this country. I mean, the Aboriginal will never get their country back. It's been taken away from them, now there is slowly some recompense and some reconciliation and so forth but structurally speaking it is the modern Australia, is an Australia dominated by the original European settlers. That is the starting point of modern Australia and I think we have to keep that in mind all the time when Australia became an independent nation in 1901, it was very much, the design of the people in charge of that process, that this would be a white outpost in an alien region so the white Australia policy which was established then was very much foundational for Australia as a modern nation state. Racism, was in that sense, was structurally embedded in the very foundation of Australia as a nation state."
SOUNDBITE [English], Ray Jackson, Aboriginal Elder: "When we look at history and we need to do that. Going back to 1788 they brought the convicts out, they brought the troopers to look after the convicts and settle any other problems. Now, over time the troopers turned into doing acts that they called 'clearing the lands' which means killing our people, the genocide against our people. That ethos of the troopers of treating Aboriginal people as some sort of flora and fauna is still in the minds of the police today, because the police was born out of the troopers. The troopers became the police. That same ethos, that same historical understanding is still there. The Aborigine is the enemy of society. They want things. They want their land, they want rights, they want this and they want … why should they have it? We won. That's the attitude."
SOUNDBITE [English], Stephen Ridgway, Aboriginal Elder: "what happened back then is still happening now with our people. The coppers, as I say, divide and rule. It' still embedded, don't matter how many generations you go through in white Australia."
SOUNDBITE [English], Ray Jackson, Aboriginal Elder: "Any police officer in this country can kill, they know that. They could kill me when I go downstairs to the shop. They will then turn around and say that I attacked them with a knife but the knife is lost, but the knife can't be found and because it is police who are investigating other coppers, 'that's the truth, Ray Jackson had a knife and he attacked me. I had to shoot him to defend myself'. That is their power and the governments allow them to get away with it. The police in this country can kill with impunity and immunity, that is their power and they are backed up by governments."
SOUNDBITE [English], Protester: "We don't recognize their sovereignty at all. This is our sovereignty and it always was and always will be."
SOUNDBITE [English], Tony Abbott, Former Prime Minister of Australia: "I was asked a question at a door stop yesterday morning and I made the point that a lot happened in 40 years and I think we have moved on from the issues of 40 years ago which caused the aboriginal tent embassy setup."
SOUNDBITE [English], Ray Jackson, Aboriginal Elder: "How do you change that? I've been involved in DIC issues since 1987. A damned long time and I don't mean just going on a few marches a year. I mean, everyday active in some way anybody who comes to a meeting as far as I'm concerned is a member of ISJA. If they want to stand with those involved with ISJA that consider you a bloody member. The situation now with deaths in custody is that ISJA is getting involved, we are doing the marches we're doing the protests, public meetings. We are doing things We have a constitution that is very much English racist constitution I don't call it the Australian constitution at all, I call it the English because that's what it's based on, and for many many years. Aborigines were forced off their land, forced into missions, their wages were stolen, their kids were stole and everything was done under the letter of the law. Since the end of May 1989 up to the present day, there has been over 300 more deaths in custody and it works out to be roughly, there is a DIC about one a month. So every month, there is a DIC, either at the hands of the police or in jails. That's national."
SOUNDBITE [English], Protester: "We are here to tell Kevin Rudd thathis got to recognise our seventy and we want to get rid of the intervention laws. We have got to demand that the intervention laws be dropped straight away."

Big Brother housemates Lydia Louisa and Deana Uppal have clashed after the latter talked about periods at the dinner table.
The pair, who have had an uneasy relationship since Deana nominated Lydia for eviction on launch night, accused each other of playing up to the cameras when discussing the Indian beauty queen's "disrespectful" choice of conversation.
"We're supposed to be friends," Deana stressed to the backing dancer after the meal. "We spoke about a lot in here. Couldn't you have given me a dirty look or something? Why shout [your objections] out across the table like that?"
Lydia responded: "Has no-one ever taught you in life that when someone cooks a meal you don't talk about certain things at the table? You did it twice. You did it once and it got let go and then you did it again."
Arguing that other housemates have brought up far more offensive topics in her presence, Deana asked Lydia: "And you were that insulted by that after we were supposed to be friends and I trusted you in the house?"
"You genuinely don't know that's wrong? You as a lady, you don't think that's wrong?" Lydia hit back, before sarcastically stating: "You're right, periods are a perfectly acceptable conversation...to talk about at the table."
After being branded "harsh" by Deana, the fiancée of Andy Scott-Lee claimed: "Ask people in here, people say I'm very caring".
"Yeah I'm sure they will because it's a game," her fellow housemate noted, prompting a frustrated Lydia to accuse her of making a scene in front of the cameras.
"You just don't like the fact that no-one agreed with you and everyone thinks it's wrong," the 26-year-old finished.
Lydia had a furious fight with Arron Lowe earlier in the week after he accused her of "s**t stirring".

Medical Definition of Congenital hip dislocation
Congenital hip dislocation: One of the most common birth defects, characterized by an abnormal formation of the hip joint in which the ball at the top of the thighbone (the head of the femur) is not stable within the socket (acetabulum). The ligaments of the hip joint may also be loose and stretched. The degree of instability at the hip varies. The usual treatment is the use of a device called the Pavlik harness. If the harness is not effective, the hip may be positioned into place under anesthesia (closed reduction) and maintained with a body cast (spica). Also known as infantile hip dislocation, congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH), and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

$35.00 Each (8 shown in the picture. I can't believe I have to clarify this...)(Please specify whether you would prefer the long side pointing to the right, or left. Otherwise we will choose for you).
Suspension Bridge... with Bling!
Designed with chew-proof, authentic, gemstone beads! (The same sort of stuff the stone chillers are made from.) We use jade, amethyst, lapis, agate, turquoise, adventurine, obsidian, chalcedony, etc. These are NOT glass, acrylic or wood beads!
This thing is tons of fun... and shiny! We use 8" wide kiln dried pine slats, with rounded edges for added safety. Our chew-proof spacer beads keep little toes from getting pinched. Comes with heavy duty lanyard hooks to attach directly to the side bars of your cage.We now make all our bridges custom to fit your cage. Please designate the span of your cage in inches, NOT the desired length. These are bridges, not ladders. They should be tight across and will gently sag with use.
$1.50 per linear inch for the first 30".
Flat rate of $45 for bridges between 30" - 36".
bridges over 36" are and extra $1 per linear inch.
It's very important to "cap" the ends of your bridge with ledges 12" or larger. Ledges sold separately.
Chinchilla Cradle
AKA: Swing with Bling!
For environmental enrichment. Made with kiln dried pine and poplar, and now enhanced with rock hard gemstone spacer beads. Some chins actually swing themselves by pushing off from the cage bars! Also makes a colorful and interesting hay rack.
If your cage is taller than 24", you will need the catwalk with eye hooks to attach the swing at a safer, lower level.
Scatterguards: Cage Bottom Surrounds
By popular demand! Our cage bottom surrounds are created to make better use of those shallow Ferret Nation, Critter Nation and Feisty Ferret brand cage pans to help contain litter.
$25.00 Cage Bottom Surround
Ferret Nation (left), Feisty Ferret (right)
Cage Balcony (The Catwalk)
A simple, rigid plank that spans the cage width. Premade to fit Ferret Nation/Critter Nation and Feisty Ferret brand cages. Excellent adjustable height, particularly for the "open" double stack cages.
A perfect addition to use to attach your Swing with Bling for your more acrophobic chins.
$20 each
Hanging Tube
These are a comfy addition to any enclosure. Chins absolutely love snuggling in them. We make ours a generous 10 inch long, 6 inch diameter. We also sand away the outside edge so it's smooth and safe. Comes complete with hardware to install virtually anywhere inside a cage with bars.
Some people make fleece covers in wild colors and patterns to discourage chins from chewing on their tube. Make sure you offer copious, healthy chewing alternatives.
Natural Wood Perches
Mixed wood of the 6 varieties we keep in stock. No variety specification available on perches. Prices for ONE perch. Approximately 6-7" long. We are phasing out our smaller perches and switching over to all JUMBO size.
Photos show representative sample.
$7.50 each
Whimsy's Wigwam
An economical version of a hidey house.
Flexible, bendable, but strong enough to support the weight of a chinchilla.
Made of kiln dried pine with NO funky dyes. Large enough to accommodate a pair of snuggling chins, or one sprawling one.
Carousel Hay Holder?
~*~New Reduced Price!~*~
Who can resist this fun cage accessory?
For those of you who just hate the idea of piling your chin's hay on the cage bottom floor, this colorful hay holder may be just the thing you need. The geometric poles swivel to make hay stuffing easy and adds just enough resistance to keep your chin busy. And it doubles as a safe chew toy!
Comes with an extra large, heavy duty lanyard hook.
Combo Kit
After many requests we've finally managed to come up with a great deal on a starter ledge package. This is a perfect combo to outfit or modify a new cage or to revamp an old set up. These cage shelves completely fill a flat rate box, so there's no room for substitutions or additions.
Package includes: one Food Bowl Ledge, a 16" Luxury Ledge, a 12" Lounging Ledge, two 8" Lookout Ledges, two 6" Leaping Ledges and one Natural Wood Perch. And to distract your fur baby from chewing those nice new ledges, we've managed to fit some of our ever popular chew toys in the free spaces: 1 Whirly Wafers, 1 Orb-bits, 1 Hugs & Kisses Garland.
$140 (includes domestic shipping!)

FourFourTwo-Australia - Ward: My Battle For A Game - Richie Young
"Former A-League star Nick Ward has revealed he faces an uphill battle at Queens Park Rangers and may be forced to leave the club in January.
The highly-talented attacking midfielder joined the club on a two-year deal following the first Hyundai A-League season.
The Perth Glory pin-up Ward lit up the league in that season, subsequently winning the "Rising Star" award which is given to the most outstanding U-20 player.
But since former manager Gary Waddock left QPR, the 22-year-old has struggled to make the starting side and was briefly loaned out to Brighton and Hove Albion.
While keen to fight for a place at the London club, Ward may be forced to look elsewhere in his bid to secure first-team football.
"The last year was a tough one for me," he told au.fourfourtwo.com.
"The manager that signed me got the sack and it was a bit of a shock to the system. A new manager came in and didn't really speak to me a lot and sort of pushed me aside.
"I was never really out of the squad, I was always on the bench but it was a bit of a shock for me because I wasn't used to that."
He added: "This year I got my head right again and I knuckled down and got fit and I've been performing really well in the pre-season games.
"I played one of the Cup games but it's just a battle. If you're not one of the manager's signings it's an uphill battle but I'll just keep going and if it means I have to move in January then maybe I'll move."
Ward was a top performer for Australia's U-23s in their recent Olympic qualifying match against Lebanon, scoring a fantastic volleyed-goal.
But while admitting he misses the A-League, Ward remains keen to pursue his career in Europe rather than return to Australia-. FourFourTwo-Australia

Authentic Greek Cucumber Salad Recipe
The conventional Mediterranean diet refers back to the dietary patterns typical within the early 1960's of some Mediterranean regions, together with Crete and different components of Greece and Southern Italy. Aside from eating a weight loss program consisting mainly of fresh and homegrown meals as a substitute of processed items, other very important parts to the Mediterranean food regimen are day by day train, sharing meals with others, and fostering a deep appreciation for the pleasures of maintaining a healthy diet and scrumptious meals.
Although wholegrains were included in the Mediterranean weight-reduction plan rating, they were not associated with profit by themselves, and it will, as an example, be doable from this data to show that a Paleolithic food plan score" of eggs, meat, fruit, greens and fish, but no grains, was associated with as much profit as the Mediterranean diet score.
The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios have been zero.70 (95% confidence interval CI, zero.fifty four to 0.92) and 0.72 (ninety five% CI, 0.54 to zero.ninety six) for the group assigned to a Mediterranean diet with additional-virgin olive oil (96 occasions) and the group assigned to a Mediterranean eating regimen with nuts (eighty three occasions), respectively, versus the control group (109 occasions).
The elements of the Mediterranean Diet Score could be discovered within the full paper and supplementary tables It seems meals like dairy, eggs, and tofu were additionally discovered to be protecting however weren't included within the Med food plan score; whereas lower meat consumption wasn't protecting but was included; and wholegrains weren't protecting, however have been included.
Potential drawbacks: preliminary weight reduction could also be fast but not always sustainable; the ketosis-inducing diet might strain the kidneys; your saturated fats consumption could also be too excessive; proscribing potatoes, corn, bread, fruits, vegetables and sugar for as long as it takes to reduce weight, might not be a user-pleasant food regimen plan for you.

Guys, warning light came on so I need to change the offside bulb. How easy is it to do?
Have a look at the following pages I copied from the ElsaWin electronic workshop manual...
rear lights - overview
rear lights - remove
rear lights - install
Nice and easy, as per David's links theres a black plastic gromet that covers a nut, undo the nut and the complete rear lense comes off.
All done....thanks for your help guys.
Right, I finally get fed up of that yellow warning light letting you know that the brake light is worn.
So I go round to replacing it and try to follow the instructions above but I couldnt remove the black plastic gromet that covers the nut. Ive tried using a pliers.
Any thoughts?
I always go back to the dealer for replacement bulbs. They do it for free (bulb costs 50p or sometimes they don't even charge - shock!)
Its a PITA to do it yourself.
From the instruction posted above "rear light - remove".
Plug (2) flicks out with a screwdriver. When you get past that Cap nut (1) has a slot in it. Unscrew it using the screwdriver.
Pulling the lights off can then be a real pain. On mine they were really tight first time off.
I've tried to screw it off. As it wasnt moving I thought I had to remove the black plastic cover first.
I'll give it another try this wkd.

Lobdell, LA – Shortly before 6:00 pm Saturday State Police Troop A began investigating a two vehicle fatal crash involving a pedestrian on LA 415 north of Interstate 10 in West Baton Rouge Parish.
The crash took the life of 25 year old Cai Zhenshenh of China.
An initial investigation revealed that the crash occurred as Zhenshenh was walking in the center turn lane of LA 415.
Police say for unknown reasons, Zhenshenh walked into the path of a northbound 2014 Dodge Ram driven by 52 year old Vernell Morgan of Baton Rouge, LA.
Morgan's vehicle struck Zhenshenh throwing him across the center turn lane into the southbound lane of LA 415.
Zhenshenh landed in the path of a 2010 Toyota Highlander driven by 53 year old Shari Vidrine of Covington, LA.
Vidrine's vehicle struck Zhenshenh in the left lane of LA 415 southbound.
Police say he sustained serious injuries as a result of the crash and was transported to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center where she later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead by doctors.
Morgan and Vidrine were properly restrained and were not injured, according to police.
Impairment is not suspected to be a contributing factor in this crash but a toxicology sample will be taken from Zhenshenh, Morgan, and Vidrine for analysis.

20 Jan-19 Feb
Remind critics who find you unconventional (ditzy even) that there's method in your madness and brilliance in your view of the world. Your reading of the public mood is currently canny, whether you're getting there by instinct or analysis. If you get the the ear of someone higher up the social pecking order, bend it. Speed in all decisions is required.
20 Feb-20 Mar
The starring position of Jupiter puts faith and hope high on your agenda. Not blind faith, however; you carve your own destiny. This week emphasises the role of sympatico senior executives and peers, plus, if you're bothered, a splodge of romantic action and a highly active weekend.
21 Mar-19 Apr
It's annoying when colleagues want to know what you're up to, but for now show your hand and maintain such professional profile as you can muster. Keeping romantic intentions secret also looks problematic; next weekend's full Moon questions how dedicated you are to an ongoing romance. Be prepared. If you're single, however, it's a fine week to shop around.
20 Apr-20 May
Give your competitive streak some fuel and space and engage your toughest problems and most annoying critics in combat. You might not win every battle, but there's no better time to try. Keep aggression and charm (ie Mars and Venus) in your armoury - your mind is doubtless made up, but others may need persuasion. Got a reluctant lover? Lean on 'em a little. That's a little.
21 May-20 Jun
'Multi-tasking' comes naturally to a Gemini, but it's time to focus on the main prize. Professionally and creatively, you're on a hot streak that will, with a couple of interruptions, carry you through to your birthday - talk up your chances. If, sigh, true love is the quest, next weekend narrows your options by eliminating time-wasters. New prospects? Oh yes.
21 Jun-22 Jul
Handy week ahead, partly because you get to leave behind business/ property issues that have been hanging round, partly because someone sending out ambiguous signals about their romantic availability (or willingness to make an alliance) climbs off the fence. Whether you want to do hard-nosed practical deals or make whoopee, Thursday and Friday are especially useful days.
23 Jul-22 Aug
Ah yes, the 'c' word: commitment. Professionally, it arrives as a challenge to be seen as dedicated and organised. In personal partnerships it means showing loyalty and passion. As an especially moody full Moon in your sign is looming next weekend, expect some scrutiny and awkward questions.
23 Aug-22 Sep
You have one month between the last set of backsliding planets and the next - time to clear your desk and forge an understanding with whoever has been twisting your tail of late. Clearly negotiated boundaries are not everyone's thing, but they should be yours. If, socially, you're casting round for some novelty, here it comes.
23 Sep-23 Oct
Providing you don't simply drift off into reverie, you remain in an optimum position to mint creative solutions to your problems and win over those who've doubted your prowess. Get a move on, though; organisational issues turn soggy in a few weeks' time. Not so your love life, which gingers up from hereon until April.
24 Oct-21 Nov
Jupiter has, hopefully, awakened that fabled Scorpio appetite for life (and maybe the spending power to go with it). With so many planets stacked in your way, however, your cravings are best kept under restraint, for a week or so more. Meanwhile, look out for Capricorns and Pisceans with whom you can enjoy a snack... or whom you can devour.
22 Nov-21 Dec
The power of the mind - to persuade, mislead, inspire and provoke - is well attested. As such potential is written large in your horoscope this week, you should choose your words and aims with particular care and scrutinise incoming communications with equal vigour. Briskness is a virtue - you will find yourself relatively stalled in a few weeks' time. Up close and personal issues? Pretty giddy for now.
22 Dec-19 Jan
Venus is still lingering, meaning you get a second bite of last December's cherries over the next few weeks: the project you couldn't complete, the money you didn't make, the date you couldn't quite land. As you are such a hot social ticket (especially on Thursday and Friday), best put yourself in situations where you can soak up the admiration you've earned.

Darius Build Guide by A true Carry
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Darius 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.
begining the game
You are solo..Your job is only one..defend your lane...keep tower safe and wait for the jungle or the mid(if mid knows his/her job)..The first 8 minutes are crucial...you must go back and forth back and forth...kill as many minions as you can and then back next to tower...your aim is to make them come near tower so that you will have the upperhand..try not to get hit..not to push..you are a defender..play them..make them be anxious to kill you...they will do the mistake trust me
changing roles ;)
''Hey man y are Darius!!!you gonna defend all the game??''No,after you have finished phage and you go for bloodthirster you are a true bully..you wont have any problem with your lane...you will be also able to help with mid gangs...and try to hit wolves for extra gold as you go for mid....your role is to defend your rale..but always look at the map for possible gangs that you could assist
tips and tricks
remember to constantly poke them, w/e/q combos...and generally playing def the first minutes with an offensive way...as the one returns back for example..and has left the other one back poke him with some extra damage...it would be a good idea to have some wards..at the typical brashes or at the entrance for buff so that you can kill a prominent jungler....
carry on lane
If you had a carry on lane dont panic...this means low life and tower dives are kill for you..if carry isnt with support play as i said..def and you will find the opportunities to damage the carry..now if there are two carries in your lane..which happened to me yesterday..things are tough...change imidiately lanes with the bottom lane if you are top..they will understand you and do the change...if they dont try to go forth hit one carry and then run to tower...mark the easiest carry for your target..for example ashe/teamo pick teamo...for ashe/vayne pick ashe
Pros / Cons
[*] early and late champion [*]not easy escape
[*] passive which works like ignite
[*] easy tower dives with ulty
[*] ecan stop skills like
katarinas ulty or warwicks
Team Work
You are the off tank..so try to be the first one in battles..the one which will pull and hit...if there isnt a tank in the team...you can also combo really well with ability power champions...taunt them..get them close and let ap in a safe distance destroy them
Unique Skills
If i had to say that there is something unique with this build is that you are not going to lose lane..and you are going to sustain in the game..be the leading role
q is like a paradise for farming....q the minions around you and with second q there are dead...passive will also help y get the last hit on minions
Darius is like Riven or like Yorick...Is megatherion that will not stop..will get what he wants and then walk smiling at base..enjoy him
