Hydraulic Storage using Coastal Salt Domes
Ocean and wind power technologies can generate power during the off-peak periods and large-scale thermal power stations operate most reliably when boilers, steam lines and turbines remain at constant temperature and constant pressure. The combination of electric railways and thermal power stations serve many cities around the world. The massive and instantaneous fluctuations in power demand for power from such transportation systems create difficulties at thermal power stations. Hydraulic and air-pressure based power stations respond more easily to sudden and extreme fluctuations in demand for power.
Coastal Salt Domes:
There are coastal mountains where evidence exists of sections of emptied salt domes that had been pushed up to elevations above sea level. Some caves that were easily accessible were vertical-circular in shaped while other caves had large domed roofs. Salt domes usually occur in groups and the existence of these caves suggested the possible presence of many other larger phenomena hidden within the coastal mountains or below them along the oceanic coast. Some still intact salt domes may lie hidden below sea level near the coast.
Modern seismic techniques can accurately pinpoint the locations, approximate dimensions and elevations of salt domes or sections of salt domes as well as the presence or absence of rock salt. Salt domes that are located very deep in the earth's bedrock and that measure several miles in vertical height by up to a mile in diameter would be suitable to store pressurized natural gas or compressed air. A dome of perhaps 3000-feet in diameter by 3500-feet in vertical height that lies within less than 2000-feet below maritime sea level would be suitable for underground pumped hydraulic storage.
Seawater under Salt Domes:
Voith-Hydro has developed high-capacity turbine pumps that can pump massive volumes of water uphill over elevations of 2000-feet or 600-metres. The corrosion-resistant version of that technology would be suitable for operation is a seawater environment and could pump water from a subterranean chamber of 3000-feet in diameter. The water volume within the chamber may only need to fluctuate over a height of 100-feet to serve 6-hours of peak hour needs of most coastal cities and their electric rail transportation systems.
The water flow rate would exceed 32,000-ft3/sec or 925m3/sec and deliver over 2400MW of power at 89% overall efficiency over an average vertical height of 1000-feet. The power output could exceed 4500MW over a vertical height of 2000-feet, the apparent design limit of the Voith-Hydro pumping technology. A compound pumping and generation system may be applicable where the vertical-circular section of a low-height salt dome is located at some 3500-feet depth below sea level.
An airshaft may connect the atmosphere to the top of the storage dome to allow air to move in and out of the cavity in response to changing water volume within the cavity. Incoming and outgoing air would pass through a bi-directional impulse-style air turbine that drives electrical generation equipment. The output could sustain a portion of the local overnight off-peak power demand and provide additional power during peak periods.
Excavated Cavities:
The Riverbank Power Company of Toronto, Canada is pioneering a technique of excavating cavities into the bedrock next to large rivers at depths of 2000-feet or 600-metres below river surface level. Their technology could also be adapted to excavating such cavities into the interior of coastal mountains at elevations of 2000-feet above sea level. Such excavation is unlikely to attract opposition from environmentalists if there is no seepage of ocean water into the surrounding water that may be at a great distance from the excavation site. The excavated cavity is an option where no suitable remnants of salt domes may exist either within a coastal mountain or below the coastline in the general vicinity of where remnants of salt domes exist. There are plans to introduce excavated subterranean cavities into the State of Maine, USA to convert wind energy and ocean energy to stored pumped hydraulic energy.
Relocating Salt from Salt Domes:
While salt domes in coastal mountains may have long been flushed of rock salt, several deep level coastal salt domes that lie below sea level may still contain rock salt. There would be potential to make productive use of that salt in tropical and sub-tropical locations where seawater desalination may prevail. It may be possible to excavate large circular cavities near the ocean coast into which to place excess salt and brine from thermal desalination plants.
While potable water would reflect the infrared spectrum of solar light, the salt in a brine pond would capture that spectrum. The temperature at the bottom of a brine pond may reach 95-deg C or 200-deg F while ocean temperature may be considerably cooler. Cold northbound ocean currents flow along the western coasts of South America as well as Southern Africa, southbound along the coast of northwestern Africa and eastbound along the southern Australian coast. Water temperature may often be below 25-deg C or 77-deg F and often much cooler.
Energy from the Salt:
The thermal energy in coastal brine ponds in tropical and sub-tropical regions can help desalinate ocean water or it can be used to energize engines that are designed to operate on low-grade thermal energy. In either case, a large sealed and corrosion-resistant spiral pipe may be installed at the bottom of the brine pond to collect and transfer heat to either a desalination plant or low-grade heat engine that may operate at about 9% thermal efficiency. Many commercially available solar photovoltaic panels operate similar efficiency.
A transparent cover that is immune to the UV spectrum would allow the infrared spectrum to enter the brine pond, minimize evaporation and provide insulation during the cooler overnight hours. Ocean water may be used to regulate and optimize the concentration of salinity as well as provide the heat sink for either the desalination plant or the heat engine. In terms of long-term costs and operational longevity, the brine pond may have an advantage over photovoltaic technology.
A company called ElectraTherm offers low-grade heat engines of up to 1MW output each that can generate electric power at up to 10% efficiency from the temperature difference between coastal brine ponds and cold-current ocean water. That efficiency is higher than the 2% efficiency of air-based solar-thermal chimneys. Suitable Pacific Coast locations are available in northern Chile and along the desert region of Peru. Suitable Atlantic Coast locations occur along the desert region of Morocco, northwestern South Africa, Namibia and Angola.
There are many parts of the world where pumped hydraulic storage may involve the use of sections of subterranean salt domes located either below sea level near an ocean coast or within a coastal mountain. An optional technology would involve excavating cavities either inside coastal mountains or into the coastal bedrock located below sea level. Such pumped hydraulic storage operation could enhance the operation of other power generation technologies, improve their cost effectiveness and even extend their longevity. Whatever salt is flushed from coastal salt domes can be transferred to coastal brine ponds to generate electric power or to desalinate seawater.
Business Development Manager, ABB Inc.
For the solar thermal pond, besides ElectraTherm, United Technologies also has a commercialized heat-to-electricy system called PureCycle200. It has operated with inlet tempertures as low as 165 deg-F.

Antisemitism in Canada Skyrockets
The words "Gas the Jews," and a Nazi swastika were spray-painted on the ground in Hamilton's Escarpment Rail Trail, in Ontario, Canada. This incident is just the latest in a string of anti-Jewish hate crimes and vandalism that has occurred in Canada in the last few years.
Jews are the most heavily targeted group in Canada, with 33% of all hate crime listed as antisemitic in 2016. In 2015, Jews reported being harassed for wearing yarmulkes in public, and had their homes vandalized with antisemitic graffiti. The risk is growing. In April 2016, several Hassidic homes were vandalized. According to a report, one was destroyed due to arson.
In Montreal, more than 300 swastikas were spray-painted on buildings and public property during the last year. According to Statistics Canada, Canadian Jews (who compromise a mere 1% of the population) were the most targeted minority group in Canada and eight times more likely to be victims of a hate crime than Canadian Muslims, who make up 3% of the total population. In 2013, Canadian Muslims were victims of 6.2 hate crime incidents per 100,000 people while Canadian Jews experienced 54.9 incidents.
The growing wave of anti-Semitism in the U.S. and Canada is stronger then ever, and the public and government officials need to prevent and report these attacks.

For the last few days I've been carrying Nokia's answer to iPhone with me — the 8G N81 entertainment phone. Piano black with brushed aluminum, and a slick slider, it feels solid and comfortable in the hand. Moreover, it's stuffed with finishing touches like the individual buttons that illuminate on demand for particular applications. The N81 is a gorgeous device.
Others have compared this device to the N95, but really it's a successor product to the N91 music phone. The N91 used a 4G hard disk to store the music; the N81 has 8G of solid state storage. Like the N91, this phone hides the numeric keypad under the slider. The slider itself has all of the music controls exposed on the outside, which makes it easy to browse, select and play music.
The media applications are activated via a brushed aluminum button on the front of the phone. In a nod to Apple, the ring around the D button is also touch sensitive. When using the media applications, this capability is activated, allowing you to brush your finger around the ring to make selections. It's cool, but not as well implemented as the iPod.
Like most recent N-series phones, the N81 also sports WiFi. Early indications are that it may be more power efficient than prior N-series phones, though. In addition, although Truphone will tell you that their Series 60 client software isn't certified for the N81, it runs just fine. Within a few minutes of installing it, I was making and receiving calls over the Truphone network.
The N81 also sports a game pad interface, for use with a suite of games that Nokia is planning to market under the nGage brand. I found the pad a little stiff. Not being a hard core gamer, I don't know if this would be a problem or not. The nGage site itself is not yet online, however Nokia is promising early December.
Like the nGage site, the Nokia music store isn't online yet either, except in the UK. However, the music experience is much cleaner than previous Nokia phones. Synchronizing music with Windows Media was a breeze. In 90 minutes I downloaded 7 gigabytes of music to the device without any hiccups. The sound quality is excellent, even with the supplied earbuds. Nokia also has bluetooth stereo headphones available for those who want to be unplugged.
The N81 is $629, and available direct from Nokia.
No doubt this is a beautiful phone. However, unless you're a hardcore music or gaming fan, you may find that the 8G N95 is more to your liking. The N95 sports a 5 megapixel camera as compared to the lowly 2 megapixel camera on the N81. In addition, the N95 has a built-in GPS, and a pretty good media player. So, are the gaming and music features of the N81 enough to win customers over? Only you can tell. But whether you choose the N95 or the N81, they're both amazing phones.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Portland Trail Blazers - 11/16/15 NBA Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Portland Trail Blazers (4-7) at San Antonio Spurs (7-2)
NBA Basketball: Monday, November 16, 2015 at 8:30 pm (AT&T Center)
The Line: San Antonio Spurs -12.5 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The Portland Trailblazers hit the road to take on the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center.
The Trailblazers will be desperate to avoid a sixth straight loss after falling to the Hornets in a 106-94 defeat last night. Damian Lillard had 23 points and five assists while Allen Crabbe added 17 points off the bench, but it was never enough against a Hornets outfit that stormed out to lead by 71-45 at halftime. CJ McCollum struggled mightily, scoring 16 points but making just five of 18 shots while Lillard was only slightly better, making nine of his 25 shots. With the loss, Portland falls to 4-7 on the season and 2-4 on the road.
USA TODAY Sports
Meanwhile, the Spurs have been rolling lately with four straight wins and seven wins in their first nine games of the season. LaMarcus Aldridge has been solid this season with his new team and once again led the scoring with 17 points to go along with 19 rebounds while Tony Parker chipped in with 16 points as the Spurs stormed out to an early double-digit lead against the 76ers before winning by 92-83 on Saturday. Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard were both rested for the game but you wouldn't have noticed until late in the game when the Spurs allowed their 19-point lead get cut to just four points late in the game, but they managed to escape unscathed, leaving them now at 7-2 on the season and 3-0 at home.
In ATS trends, the Blazers are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 road games and 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games against a team above .600, while the Spurs are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games against a team with a losing record and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall.
Head to head, the Blazers are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in San Antonio and the home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall.
These two teams had just met back on Wednesday night and it was the Spurs who won at the Moda Center by 113-101. Aldridge and Leonard had a field day for the Spurs who shot a sizzling 56.1 percent from the field and I'm expecting a similar result tonight.

It will jam if you use paper. The instructions are not entirely..." --Pandit
"We've been using this for years, but since our veggie & fruit intake has increased, this is not big enough. We are a household of four adults with two eating a produce box of food a week. If you are small family eating a regular amount of veggies, it works great. Taking it out every day keeps the fruit flies down. It never stinks, which is great.It cleans/disinfects well in the dishwasher." --

"I've only had this compost bin for a few weeks, but I like it so far. First off, it's made of 100% recycled plastic. Awesome. Secondly, it's easy to use. The instructions said it was supposed to come with some hardware, but didn't. But I don't see why it would need hardware anyway. You just put down the base, put the bin on the base, and spin it. It seems to me like if you were to attach..." --dana1981
"I have owned this composter for a while now. The literature says that I can actually "harvest" a load of composted material once month. I find that that is not true for me. It seems to me that a person must really load the tumbler quite full before the organic material will heat up enough to decompose. AS a suburban dweller, I don't generate enough waste to load it up each time. When..." --MagdalenaC
"I started with a home-made bin from Sterlite type containers and this one is definitely an upgrade. I like the ease of dealing with the 3 levels I got and adding food and cleaning. Problems I have had are worms falling through the bottom and clogging the spigot - fixed by putting a layer of garden cloth in the bottom of the first level. Also the worms squeeze between the walls up from the..." --Sherrye
"I love this set-up. I used to have a home-made worm habitat that was heavy and bulky and ugly - but it WORKED. Then TopLine had a sale and I got my new sleek designed multi-level worm farm. It makes harvesting the liquid fertilzer MUCH easier, and soon I will have some composted soil to kick-start my garden.

I received a lot of attention from dealers while visiting car yards with the intention of buying a car. My fiancee received a lot of attention, too - unfortunately, it was the wrong kind.
The salesman spent a large amount of time staring at her chest, while addressing all questions to me.
This experience is by no means unique. When it comes to selling cars to women, car dealerships have a long way to go, says Melissa Pye, director and founder of W Communications Group.
Pye formed the W Communications Group to improve the customer experience for women shopping in traditionally male-dominated industries.
Pye has an undergraduate degree in economics, psychology and women's studies and a master's in marketing from the University of NSW. She also has 15 years' experience in marketing, which she decided to apply to car sales.
"I started talking to dealers and they said, 'Look, the only thing we are really looking for is for someone to please tell us how to sell cars to women. We know that women are really important, but we need to know what we are doing wrong, so we can sell more effectively,"' she says.
Pye spent two years researching women's car buying and ownership patterns and believes their influence accounts for up to 80 per cent of car-buying decisions. However, she thinks problems are caused by more than gender bias.
"Men and women aren't just different on the biological level in terms of chromosomes [and] brain structure, but are also different through the evolutionary process. Traditionally, men were responsible for gathering food, whereas women were responsible for nurturing and rearing the families," she says.
Francine Garlin, a marketing lecturer at the University of Technology, Sydney, agrees. An expert on consumer behaviour, she says the traditional gender roles still exist.
"The woman is often the information gatherer in the household, whilst it could be perceived that the male role is to provide," Garlin says.
"These differences exist. Women aren't having a good experience buying a car, so I have applied this knowledge to the sales process," Pye says.
"Selling cars in the past has traditionally been a male-to-male negotiation, so the environment in which the selling techniques were created meant they were created on the basis of a male-to-male negotiation."
Women are generally better able to read body language, which may be overlooked by salesmen, Pye says.
Broadening the basis for negotiation was the foundation upon which Pye built her business, holding workshops, individual consultations and seminars. Through these, she hopes to change the dealership environment to encompass women's needs, while still meeting the needs of men.
The gender issue is being addressed by car dealers. Suttons City Holden at Rosebery requires its salespeople to do a training program called "Road to Sale", which aims to eliminate bad sales practices such as gender bias.
Sam Ramsey, a 23-year-old salesman with the company, says at least half of his sales are to women, though he says his high success rate may be "because I am young and non-threatening".
Ramsey says company policy also helps eliminate bad sales practices. "My company has a policy of only employing people from other industries. Not having employees who have been in the game for 35 years means they are better able to distance themselves from the traditional image of salesmen as sharks," he says.
Nigel Wannacott, head of communications at Britain's Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, says global institutional change in the car industry has begun.
"There's been a sea change in attitudes in the showrooms. The industry as a whole has made a change, with very few manufacturers able to get away with a sexist approach," he says.
Pye recognises that differences will always exist, but she believes that teaching salespeople to listen to the needs of consumers will result in greater customer satisfaction and more sales.
Melissa Pye's seminar, "How to sell cars to women the W way", is on Wednesday at the Stamford Grand Hotel, North Ryde. Visit http://www.howtosellcarstowomen.com.au

Vladimir Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi there,
My name is trippies and I'm a decent casual player, I don't play ranked games but I roll normals. This build has takes bits and pieces from several other builds, I will not reference them because it is none in particular, it is just my assessment of what I think is a (nearly) optimal build for vlad.
**NOTE***2LTR people, summary at the bottom will cover everything in short words. I recommend skipping if you are already very familiar with vladimir.
ALSO, stats on top are incorrect, does not seem to add health from AP bonuses/vise versa. Everything else should be right.
My rune page is pretty basic, I don't own that many runes, but I believe the ones I have work fine for vlad.
YELLOWS=Health Regen/lvl
Blues=CDR (MR runes work here as well, though I prefer to be able to pool more often)
quints= 2 health quint
1 movement speed quint(this is because while I normally take swiftness sometimes you require merc/sorc
For masteries I usually go typical caster style, 9/0/21.
**DISCLAIMER** going 21 in utility will require you to take many dump masteries.
3 points in Good hands, 1 point in gold/5, 2 points in monster buff (if you prefer to take flash instead of ignite, you can take one of the points from the above mentioned masteries to put into flash, I would recommend 1 out of Good hands.)
I start the game off with a DORANS SHIELD. Many people question this, allow me to explain. Health bonus = AP (like 7-9), 8health regen will synergize with your yellows, and the armor will help mitigate some damage giving you much longer lane staying power. If you're mid or side lane try to recall after earning about 1550, thats enough to get a hextech revolver and a pair of boots. If you cant afford all, try to get at LEAST boots of speed, amplifying tome, and 1-2 health potions.. Once you have built your hextech revolver, build up either boots of swiftness if you aren't having trouble in lane. If enemy team has heavy CC, get merc treads. If they are tank heavy or you feel they will stack MR and are LOW on CC, get sorc shoes.
Once you have hextech revolver and tier2 boots, upgrade your revolver into a WILL of the Ancients. The reason for this, is that while revolver has been changed to have unique passive spellvamp, unique auras do not count as the same, because of this, you can still stack 2.
After building a WotA, IF you can afford a needlessly large rod, buy it and build deathcap, otherwise build towards another hextech revolver.
At this point you should have about 80-90ap, and 45% spell vamp. This is crucial as prior to level 9 you will be watching every second tick on your drain. Having spell vamp will give you enough healing to make up for the time in between.
At this point, you have options, if you are doing well, you can rush a rabadon's deathcap or if you need more healthrylai's scepter.
At this point you should have:
boots, will, revolver, deathcap.
At this point you have plenty of options
If you want to focus on staying alive, and support in team fights, take rylai's. The extra health keeps you alive+small ap boost, and the slow is amazing. 35% slow on your Q, 15% AOE slow on your Tides of Blood, and 15% on your pool, which stacks with the slow it already has.
If you want to focus on single target kills to help your team, I'll usually rush a Deathfire's grasp. DFG gives you a fair amount of AP, kage's pick gives you extra gold, and the active on DFG synergies with your ultimate.
If team is MR heavy, and you don't have AP heavy team: void staff is great
If team is SOME MR, or you have AP heavy team, abyssal.
Other good options for vladimir are,
Blue=great Green=good w/circumstances Yellow=good but not optimal
Rylai: see above, the health and ap combined give you about 82ap and 570hp, this combined with the slow gives you MAJOR survivability, E becomes an AoE slow making it paramount in team fights,
Deathfires grasp:see above, Deathfires grasp is an amazing weapon, however the active focusses on single target annihilation, if you plan to focus on team fights and general support, the slow from rylais combined with health is a better 'general' item.
Void Staff: if you need MR and there arne't many AP casters on your team, always a good one.
Abyssal scepter: MR, AP, and MR removal, great buy
Banshee's veil: hp(more AP),useless mana, MR, and spell shield is great.
Force of nature: MR, health regen up the ***, movement speed!
Lichbane: not optimal, still decent ap, 80ap is great, mana useless, movement speed is wonderful, and magic resist gives you survival, the passive on it is simply wonderful! Vlad has a pretty decent attack speed later game and synergizes great with your Q and E as the cdr on both are very low. You can easily do upwards of 500-700 every 3 seconds with this, more with your ultimate.
People ask about this, it is NOT optimal!!! I will almost always sell my second revolver once I have enough AP to make up for the healing,so that I can get end-game items. If you think you cant lose, building your 2nd revolver into a gunblade still provides a lot of great bonuses. The AD will make you push turrets MUCH easier, which I find happens often when you run swiftness on vlad. The AP bonus is nothing to scoff at, combined with deathcap even more so. lifesteal+spellvamp makes you nigh invulnerable, and MOST importantly, the active slow allows you to help your team catch an enemy without you using the most useful tool you have, SANGUINE POOL, 300 dmg isn't much, but when you combine it with your ultimate, ignite, and the fact they cant get away from your drains = sitting ducks.
Skill Sequence
My spell sequence with vladimir almost NEVER changes.
The only time I change this sequence is when my entire team expect to gank a jungler+backup, then I take sanguine pool first, as the slow gives a better chance of successful gank. Otherwise I ALWAYS take my skills in this order.
Basically take R whenever you can,
RUSH your Q at EVERY level possible until you max it, except to take R.
Get your W to at LEAST level 3 before taking anymore points in E, you can take *1* extra E before your W is level 5, but no more than that.
The reasons. Q at lvl 9 provides you with your best dmg/healing available.
W lvl 5 will give your sanguine pool a MUCH needed cooldown reduction.
Sanguine pool WILL be your get out of jail free card. NEVER USE SANGUINE POOL TO INITIATE. Once you come out of it, you WILL die if you cannot kill them with your Q.
Summoner Spells
Quick and easy, I take ghost with mastery point for extended length, and I always take ignite.
Ghost = escape/catch
Ignite...= ignite synergizes with your ultimate, allowing you to be able to take most people down at lvl 6. Also, ignite is CRUCIAL against certain champions. Vlad vs fiddle before lvl 9 will almost always lose w/o an ignite. Ignite helps shutdown a LOT of champions that rely on healing (including other vlads).
Creeping / Jungling
Vlad is NOT a jungler, however, once vlad hits level 9, he can jungle anything besides dragon or baron without problems. Early game you want to play conservatively, your cooldowns are FAR too high to rely on healing and pools for every situation where you will take damage. Try to last hit with auto attacks and save your Q for a SAFE harrass, if you are getting pushed back, use it on minions to keep your health high, your Q should never be off cooldown for longer than 1-3 seconds if possible.
At level 4 you get tides of blood which will make killing creeps a lot easier. Careful because tides AND pool both use health, and at this level your Q is too high on cooldown to rely on it to make up the health lost.
At level 6 people will be more cautious around you, at level 9 you are a monster. Spam Q as much as possible, and use it to constantly peck at your enemies, bringing them down enough to do your ult combo.
Team Work
Teamwork with vlad is pretty straight forward, during lane just peck enemies and keep last hitting, any time your partner goes in, try to make it hurt that much more with a Q on top of it. Any time your partner will GET a kill, but might not catch the enemy, use your pool and stay under him, this will slow the enemy letting your partner finish him off. ~~~ONLY stay under the whole time if you KNOW you two will get the kill~~~ (otherwise pull back right before the end to be safe again).
TEAMFIGHTS: this is where vlad truly shines. You want to stay towards the back and run in/out pecking whereever you can safely, once all hell breaks loose, wait until the enemy team is grouped together, drop your ultimate, hit your E, and pool immediately underneath the group, make sure to leave the fight BEFORE your pool is over or you will get focus fired and die.
Once you have gotten some distance, go back to step A and heal yourself/kill with your Q and safe-distanced E's. You will rack up tons of assists, and last hitting with Q is relatively easy, specially if you have swiftness.
If you took DFG, your new spell combo is, R, (activate DFG), ignite, Q,E,W,Q,Q,Q,Q,Q,Q etc. :)
Notes about vlad.
NOTE(about pool): pool WILL dodge the following: karthus ult, caitlyn ult, fiddlesticks ult, lux ult, MF, etc.
Pool will NOT cancel the following: fiddlesticks drain aka(channel spells), any "chain spells" (nocturn fear, morgana ult, etc.) also, ~~ANY~~ damage over time that is on vlad BEFORE he pools, will CONTINUE to do damage while you are in pool.
This means that if enemy ignite you at 200 health, and you pool. You'll guarantee that you kill yourself. Pool costs 20% current HP, at max health thats a lot, at low health that puts you even closer to dieing.
Because you RELY on pool to get away, be careful of status effects, such as stun, fear, and SILENCE. I cannot tell you, how many times silence has gotten me killed, and it typically lasts longer than normal stuns. If you cannot pool away from CC you will die.
*exception*: snares, if you are level 9+, and you are 1v1, snares will not be nearly as dangerous, the reason for this is, you can mitigate damage if they are in rage of your Q, you can also POOL, even though you will be stuck in place, often times when I get snared, I will Q them, and right before snare is over, i pool away. If you panic and pool too early, you will be untargettable but also unmoveable, when you come up, if you're in a bad situation, ghost (or flash if you prefer), can save your life here.
last note: when it comes to using your pool, there are many tricks you can do. If caitlyn ults you, don't let your teamates take the hit, make sure to pool.
Also, if someone BEGINS an animation for an attacck, and you pool, they LOSE their target, this will cause them to stop their 'casting animation' as well as their movement. Its an easy way to 'ghetto juke' someone as they don't expect to just stop moving, and by the time the click you have increased the distance between you. Timing is tricky, and crucial you have to basically anticipate the move.
ex: if you pool while a turret is firing at you, an early pool can cancel the shot entirely, a late pool will still get hit by the turret shot, AND you spent 20%hp.
Sions stun, will dissappear if it JUST started travelling, if you wait too long it will 'snare' you while you are in pool.
Practice is really the only way to master the pool, by far his most useful skill. (you cant drain if you are dead).
masteries: 9/0/21, spell pen, utility side, fill in time dead, gold, monster buff, drop 1 time dead for flash if you prefer it
runes: mpen red, Hregen yellow, CDR blue, 2xHealth, 1x MS quints
items: dorans shield, boots, hextech revolver, tier2boots, revolver>will, 2nd revolver, deathcap....(see items section for late game options).
Skill priority: R,Q,W,E (Q by 9 ALWAYS).
Thanks for reading my long *** guide, please critique and comment :)

This has got to be one of the best animations I've ever seen. Your other animations are pretty cool, but I would love to see more animatons of this calibur.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I Think Nine Inch Nails is the BEST music out there and your animation style was proffesional and awesome. I just did not like the ending. A clown penis is the last thing I want to think about when listening to Nine Inch Nails. Other than that I liked it


text: Hey guys, I have seen other posts about this with no real resolution. Wondering if anyone else has found a fix. Since I updated, my youtube widget constantly says "Connection problem. Touch to try again" When I touch it, either on 3g or wifi, it tries to refresh and comes back with the same message. All of my other data-related things work. It is just this widget. I have tried removing it from the desktop and then placing it there again, and this does nothing to help either. I have rebooted the phone numerous times as well. Again, this didn't help. Anyone else having problems?

How to Calculate the Total Expenses From the Total Revenue and Owners Equityby Bryan Keythman ; Updated April 19, 2017
Expenses are the costs a company incurs running its business. Revenue is the money a company earns by selling its products or services before paying expenses. Net income, or profit, equals total revenues from an accounting period minus total expenses from the same period. You can calculate a company's net income using its statement of stockholders' equity. This statement shows the items that cause a change in stockholders', or owners', equity during an accounting period. You can use net income to calculate total expenses. Lower total expenses results in higher profit.
Find a public company's income statement and statement of stockholders' equity in either its 10-Q quarterly report or in its 10-K annual report. You can download these reports from the investor relations section of the company's website or from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's online EDGAR database.
Identify the company's total revenue, listed on the income statement. For example, assume a company has $500,000 in total revenue.
Determine the amounts of beginning stockholders' equity, ending stockholders' equity, shares issued, treasury stock purchased and cash dividends paid, listed on the statement of stockholders' equity. The statement shows amounts of treasury stock purchased and cash dividends paid enclosed in parentheses to designate that these amounts decrease stockholders' equity. In this example, assume the company has $600,000 in beginning equity, $720,000 in ending equity, $50,000 in shares issued, $10,000 in treasury stock purchased and $20,000 in dividends paid.
Add together ending stockholders' equity, dividends paid and treasury stock purchased. In this example, add together $720,000, $20,000 and $10,000 to get $750,000.
Subtract shares issued and beginning stockholders' equity from your result to calculate the company's net income or net loss. A positive result represents net income. A negative result represents a net loss. In this example, subtract $50,000 and $600,000 from $750,000 to get $100,000 in net income.
Subtract the net income or net loss from total revenue to calculate total expenses. Treat a net loss as a negative number in your calculation. Concluding the example, subtract $100,000 from $500,000 to get $400,000 in total expenses.

Aizawl, Jan 4 (UNI) The Mizoram Presbyterian Church has stepped in to help people in the state avoid an impending famine after the acute rice shortage due to Mautam season.
Synod social front, an organ of the church, has earmarked Rs 722,691,840 for the 'famine relief for the state of Mizoram' project. The project cost has been set based on State agriculture department statistics as on October 31, 2007, according to which 13,839.01 hectares of croplands amounting to Rs 2,71,244,596 were destroyed by rats, Mizoram Synod social front executive secretary Rev Zosangliana Colney told UNI here today.
With the Zoramthanga government's alleged failure to combat the Mautam famine, the church's intervention plays an important role in the present situation.
''If our actions has no bearing on the role of the government. It is our collective responsibility to help the needy, irrespective of class and caste,'' Rev Colney said, adding that Chief Minister Zoramthanga has heartily thanked the social front for its initiatives.
He stated that of the total project cost, Rs 672,480,000 would be used for sustenance fund and the remaining Rs 50,211,840 would be allocated as start-up fund for buying food grains for the next season. Elaborating on the sustenance fund, Rev Colney said it is meant for the sustenance of the 29,888 families affected by famine (based on agriculture department records) residing in 431 villages.
As immediate relief, the social front has distributed 512 quintals of rice to different villages just before Christmas, so that no one starves during Christmas, said Rev Colney.

It's Aliiiiive! is our real-time, mentored course on Character Design for Animation, Games and Comics.
This course is taught by Brett "2D Bean" and Chris Oatley.
This FAQ will help you understand what to expect from the course and how to prepare for the audition process.
If you have further questions, simply email Oatley Academy Support and they'll take care of you.
How Many Spots Are Available?
We plan to offer between 20 and 25 spots in Brett and Chris' next It's Aliiiiive! course. Spots in future sessions will fluctuate based on the Mentors' availability.
Small class sizes enhance the personal experience and allow the Mentors to adapt to and focus on your specific needs, goals and dreams.
We also do our best to select students who we feel will elevate each other. We have had wonderful experiences with this process in previous OA courses.
How Does The Audition Process Work?
We give priority to current, active students. If you are a current, active student in The Magic Box, The Storytellers' Summit or The Backstage Pass, then you will receive an e-mail with the audition instructions for Round 1.
We will open auditions further to those on the notification list (and later to the main email list) if the course does not fill up with current students. We don't know for certain, but it seems likely that the course will fill up with current students.
Round 1 Applications will be accepted through an online submission form.
We will accept 40 auditions per week, until the class is full. When we have reached the maximum number of auditions for the week, the submission form will disappear. It will reappear the following week and we will accept up to 40 more applicants (if the class is not already full).
Round 1 auditions include a letter of intent and your three best portfolio pieces.
After you submit your application, you'll be granted access to the It's Aliiiiive! Auditions Forum.
The Oatley Academy team will be using the forum threads to communicate:
- Important updates throughout the audition process.
- The names of those who are accepted into Round 2.
- The names of those who are accepted into the course.
We will also notify you via email if you are accepted into the Round 2 audition process.
Round 2 is a video interview.
The audition process is challenging because the course is even more so.
If you apply and are not accepted, please don't psych yourself out. There are many aspects to our decision making process. Plus, we plan to offer many more It's Aliiiiive! courses in the future!
To maximize your opportunity though, you might want to make sure you're avoiding the Audition Dealbreakers.
What Will We Accomplish?
Brett and Chris will teach you how to design good, compelling characters for animation, games and comics and provide insight on every aspect of a professional character design process – from story analysis to production style guides.
You'll gain a deep understanding of silhouette, appeal and how to make your characters feel alive.
…and if history is any indication, you will establish new, lasting friendships and collaborations with your fellow students.
When Does It Start?
We're still discussing the tentative date for the next It's Aliiiiive! course.
How Does The Live Class Work?
Class will meet for ten weeks via Zoom on Thursday mornings, PT. Class sessions are about 3 hours, give or take.
Homework will be given during most weeks.
In addition to the lessons, most of the class sessions will include assignment critiques. If you do not deliver a completed assignment by the deadline, you will not receive a critique. No exceptions.
If you miss more than two class sessions you will be removed from the class and your enrollment fee will not be refunded. (Devastating events like a family tragedy, etc. are the only exception.)
No lurking. Engage like a true professional. The Oatley Academy is not for passive consumers. This is a community of creators. We strive to provide the most personal art education you can find online. …and by "we" we mean the teachers, team AND students.
Please do not contact Brett directly about the audition process or for details about the course. Brett's job is to develop a great course, to be the amazing teacher and expert/ professional character designer that he is. One of the reasons we have a support team and a support tickets system is so our teachers don't have to get overwhelmed with messages and logistics and our applicants don't get lost.
Thank you – in advance – for being professional and cool about this.
Should I Go For It?
Although It's Aliiiiive! is definitely not a beginner course, artistic skill is not the main thing we consider. It's one of the last things we consider, actually.
We have found that communicative ability, professionalism, generosity, thirst for knowledge, ingenuity, grit and heart are far more effective predictors of success.
- Join the Notification List.
- Stay updated throughout the Audition Process in our Audition Forum.
- Make sure you're avoiding the Audition Dealbreakers.
- If you have any further questions please email Oatley Academy Support.

TIP: Backup Wireless Network Settings (Windows 7)
One of the many advantages of Windows 7 over its predecessors is the wide array of options in backing up the system. Already inherent in its line-up of tools is the capability to create its own repair disc. But the most overlooked capability, which I think is just as useful, is the capacity to backup wireless settings.
This feature can be beneficial to you in two ways -- a backup of the configuration and a way to share wireless network configuration to another computer. Since it can backup the wireless network security key, it also serves as a way to recall the that key.
In order to create a backup of the wireless settings, go to Start --> Control Panel --> Network and Sharing Center (if using the view by icons). If your Control Panel is displayed in Category view, choose Network and Internet --> Network and Sharing Center. A similar window like below is displayed.
Click on Manage wireless networks (on the top left column).
You will be shown a list of wireless network infrastructures or ad-hoc networks that your computer can connect to. Double-click the wireless network you wish to backup.
Next, click on "Copy this network profile to a USB flash drive".The backup process requires a USB flash drive (UFD) to write the configuration files to. If your computer doesn't have one, you may plug one in. Then, click "Next".
A few files will now be written on the UFD. The files "AUTORUN.INF" and "setupSNK.exe" are now present on the UFD, together with the directory "SMRTNTKY". These files contain the backup of the wireless network settings of the computer system.
You may choose to plug the UFD on another computer and run the executable "setupSNK.exe" to configure that computer to use the same wireless network settings as the original computer. This way you have imported the wireless network settings to another computer without having to do much work.
Since the UFD already contains a copy of the wireless network settings, it is a backup that you can secure in a safe place. You might be needing it one way or another in the future.

Dario Marianelli
Pride & Prejudice [Original Score]
Customers Also Bought
One reason why it is better to be a music critic than a film critic is illustrated by this album. The poor film critic may be left to ponder why filmmakers have chosen to do so many screen adaptations of Jane Austen's 1813 novel -Pride and Prejudice for both theatrical release and television broadcast, especially in recent years, and to weigh the competing talents of, say, Laurence Olivier, Colin Firth, and, now, Matthew MacFadyen in portraying the character of Mr. Darcy. But the music critic isn't really called upon to compare Herbert Stothart's score for the 1940 film with Carl Davis' music for the 1995 TV mini-series, and, now, Dario Marianelli's. They are entirely different entities and can be treated separately. As stated in a producers' note, the intention of the creators of the 2005 theatrical film Pride Prejudice was to have Marianelli compose music that conceivably could have been heard at the time the story is set, in the late 18th century. Thus, he has come up with a couple of dance cues ("Meryton Townhall," "Another Dance") that actually recall the dance music of the period, as well as a march ("The Militia Marches In") that a military band actually might have been expected to play at the time. But the main scoring, calling upon Beethoven's sonatas for its inspiration, finds Marianelli providing music for pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, sometimes accompanied by the English Chamber Orchestra, that has a strong Romantic flavor to accompany the familiar romantic plot. No doubt Stothart and Davis (among others) also did their homework in preparing their scores, but they may not have been as concerned as Marianelli with essentially impersonating an 18th century composer. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

Cheap Trick.
The greatest fucking rock band you've ever seen...
Cheap Trick.
before every recent Cheap Trick live show
I want you to want me.Cheap Trick is an American rock / Power Pop band from Rockford, Illinois, that gained popularity in the late 1970's. The band consists of Robin Zander (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick Nielsen (lead guitar, backing vocals), Tom Petersson (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Bun E. Carlos (drums, percussion).Cheap Trick created a substantial fan base through a hard-edged yet melodic pop sound that combines the tunefulness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of Punk Rock, making them probably the most popular Power Pop band. Their biggest hits include "Surrender", "I Want You to Want Me", "Dream Police" and "The Flame." Cheap Trick also performed the theme song "That '70s Song" for That '70s Show from the second season onward and the theme song "Baby Muggles" for The Colbert Report. Songs by the band even appear in two of the cult animated films of the early 1980's, Rock & Rule with "Born to Raise Hell" and "Send Love Through" with Debbie Harry and Heavy Metal with "Reach Out".Cheap Trick continues to tour with the original lineup, and their most recent release, 2009's The Latest, has gained critical acclaim. The band is most popular in Japan, where they have remained popular superstars since their first album — what's more, they only climbed to similarly large popularity in the USA with the 1978 Live Album At Budokan, initially a Japan-only release. They have been often referred to in the Japanese press as the "American Beatles".Bands citing Cheap Trick as an influence include Nirvana, Weezer and several dozen Power Pop bands. Kurt Cobain once said about Nirvana: "We sound just like Cheap Trick, only the guitars are louder."

- "Surrender" - Probably their most widely recognized song.
This band has examples of:
- Adults Are Useless: Not really. Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird...
- Plus, momma told me, yeah she told me, I'd meet girls like you - and father did say, after all, that your mother's right; she's really up on things.
- Arena Rock: While much of their output is quirkier than that of the usual arena rockers, they influenced the genre and even dipped into it themselves during the Lap of Luxury era.
- Audience Participation Song: "I Want You to Want Me", as evidenced on At Budokan. After the line "Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?" the audience shouts "CRYIN'! CRYIN'! CRYIN'!", mimicking the echo heard after the line on the studio version.
- Bookends: Their concerts usually start with "Hello There", and end with "Good Night".
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Rick Nielsen and Bun E. Carlos carry cartoonish stage personas, but Nielsen can carry a set on the strength of his guitar playing alone, and Carlos has superb chops as a drummer.
- Cover Version: Their live version of Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame", from Budokan, remains one of their biggest radio songs. Heaven Tonight has a cover of The Move's "California Man". "Don't Be Cruel", the follow-up single to "The Flame" from Lap of Luxury, is a cover of the Elvis Presley classic, and went all the way to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. They recorded a version of Big Star's "In the Street" as the theme song for That '70s Show as "That '70s Song".
- Driven to Suicide: An oddly recurring theme.
- Drugs Are Bad: The creepy "Heaven Tonight" is about an overdose.
- Early Installment Weirdness: Their first album is a lot darker (well, it's Black Comedy) than the next two or three, which are generally regarded as their most characteristic output. "ELO Kiddies" is crackling with menace; "Daddy Should Have Stayed In High School" is an unbelievably creepy power pop song sung from the POV of a paedophile, complete with recorded playground voices; "He's A Whore" is a brutally unsentimental look at a heartless gigolo, etc. What the hell did teenage Japanese girls see in these songs? (Other than they seriously rocked.)
- Epic Rocking: Live versions of "Gonna Raise Hell" and "Heaven Tonight" could get pretty long. "Need Your Love" as well: The version captured on At Budokan lasts nine minutes.
- Intercourse with You: The main theme of She's Tight.
- Long Title: "The Ballad of T.V. Violence (I'm Not the Only Boy)".
- Lyrical Dissonance: "Auf Wiedersehen" has to be the happiest ever song about suicide.
- They like jarring mood swings, as in "How Are You?": In the middle of a bouncy, cheery, singsong melody is a sudden, accusing "How could you? Why did you?"
- Nice Guys: They had a good reputation among other bands who toured with them, and were respectful towards their supporting acts. When The Angels / Angel City's equipment was stolen, Cheap Trick provided them with gear to finish their tour. By contrast, The Kinks the same year found Angel City's act too difficult to follow and dropped them from the bill.
- Nice Hat: Rick Nielsen.
- Notable Music Videos
- Power Ballad: "The Flame".
- The Power of Rock: Rock & Rule.
- Real Song Theme Tune: That '70s Show. The theme song, "That 70's Song", is a loose cover of "In the Street" by Big Star.
- Re-release the Song: The studio version of "I Want You to Want Me" was released in 1977 but failed to chart. A live version from Live at Budokan two years later became their first Top 10 hit in the US.
- Also counts as Rearrange the Song — the two versions are barely recognizable. In fact, the only version people seem to want to acknowledge the existence of is the At Budokan version.
- Rock Band: "Hello There" is Rock Band 2's intro song. Also, three of their hits were released for Rock Band 3 as DLC (all of them from the At Budokan live album except for the last one): "Surrender", "I Want You to Want Me" and "Dream Police".
- Sampling: "Taxman, Mr. Thief" samples The Beatles' "Taxman."
- Self-Titled Album: Twice! Exactly twenty years apart, no less.
- Shout-Out: "When I woke up / Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch / Rolling numbers, rock and rolling / got my KISS records out."
- At concerts the band would toss KISS albums into the audience during that part of the song.
- Smoking Is Cool: Averted. While Bun E. Carlos was famous for his ever-present cigarette while he performed, he quit smoking in the '90s.
- Three Chords and the Truth: One of the most common praises of At Budokan is that it presents the respective songs in a comparatively "raw", energetic fashion in comparison with Tom Werman's "overproduction" on that period's albums (something which even the band members criticized for In Color). For example, compare the album and live versions of "Surrender": The live one nearly drowns out the synth, cranks up the guitars, gives the drums more punch and still includes really loud audience cheering, adding to the atmosphere. The In Color version of "I Want You to Want Me" was released as a single and never charted in the USA, but the Budokan version of "I Want You to Want Me" was released as a single, peaked at #7 and became one of their best-selling singles.
- Their 1977 self-titled debut gets similar praise. It was produced by Jack Douglas in a noticeably rawer fashion than Werman's work on the following albums.
- The band wised up to this starting in The '90s (presumably the viciously criticized sound of The Doctor played a part), and all their albums since Woke Up with a Monster have returned to that kind of direct sound. They even re-recorded In Color with Steve Albini in 1998 to make it sound rawer, but said result was never officially released. It did leak online though.
- Torch Song: "The Flame".
- Unusual Euphemism: "Big Eyes". Doesn't sound like he's really looking her in the eye.
- Up to Eleven: Double-necked guitars, which usually added a second, 12-string neck to the body of the guitar, were a popular gimmick in the 1970's. Neilsen went and got a three-... No, four-... No, FIVE-necked guitar made for himself.
- Heaven Tonight was the first album ever to use a 12-string bass.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Bun E. Carlos fell out with the band in 2010 and stopped playing with them, primarily because he insulted Robin Zander's family (because Zander wanted a shortened playing schedule that year to spend more time with his family). Nevertheless, when the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2016, they sucked it up and played with him when they performed.
- Westminster Chimes: Hi there, "Clock Strikes Ten".

Fighting for Peace.
Websters Dictionary could list that as a definition of one of the
biggest oxymorons of all time. Right up there with "you gotta be
cruel to be kind." hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Well, how's this thinking working for you, the world and it's
population of all species. Is this the experience, product and
manifestation of dis-eased thinking and choices???? Is this what
your moderators want to "shri" about?? Is your 'shri' making sense
to you??? Take the good (that which can serve your purpose whatever
that may be) and leave the rest, but at least be conscious of it.
Be aware of it, and alert. Be as wise as a fox and as innocent as
a dove. But do be conscious and alert dear ones.
I'm not judging or criticizing here, other than using thinking
skills on which to base my choices/experiences. Hey, I'd be the
first one to vote Daffy Duck, the Road Runner Goofy as my "shri
Daffy and Shri Goofy. In all sincerity their great.
It's ALL neither Good or Bad, it just Is....along with consequences
of actions and choices that this all creates. And create it does!!
Creating a world where your scared to go out on the streets and need
a military man just to hold things down.
Just reminding you again....
What are you choosing here???? Do you know what your choosing?
Confusion on all ends of this spectrum I see. (just a little verse
from "shri" yoda there.) There is benefit to be gained in it all,
[for a lack of better words,] though I seem to have no lack tonight -
Amen, although I just wanted to take the time to point some of
the obvious conflicts that can lead to more altered ego state, and
isn't that what your "shri" Judi is really trying to do from a very
emotional perspective and just the other pendulum swing?? And in
that sense it's good/fine/whatever, just pointing out a little
perspective to BE AWARE of here. I'm just offering a little help
along here ~ or not. That's up to you. You Shri who you want to
shri, of course, I'm just offering some perspective for those of
your readers who may need a little bit of broader insights to help
them make choices.

LapJockey has released Flatpack 3, a ReFill sound source for Reason.
Flatpack 3 is the latest in the award-winning series of ReFills for electronic music producers and sound designers. Taking full advantage of Thor, RPG-8, and the enhanced Combinator, FP3 is tailor-made for Reason 4. You'll find advanced drum machines and groove boxes, lush texture and pad generators, and hybrid synths of unprecedented clarity and depth.
FP3 adds new instruments to your Reason rack, based on four families of new Combinator designs. Dive into the extensive patch library, or explore endless sound design possibilities by combining elements from the carefully linked modular source library.
The Flatpack team takes the opposite approach to traditional sample libraries: "What excites us is making programmable instrument patches and sonic environments in software like Reason, then sampling the waveforms, textures, drum sounds, and loops that we need. If our users are anything like us, they'd rather use creative tools for making their own sounds, rather than trawl through a bloated sample library."
Flatpack 3 is available now for £50.

Glorify Thy Name
Today's Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 50:16-23. In this Bible study lesson, we will study the Scripture in the second half of Psalm 50. In the first part of Psalm 50 we saw the promise that God will return, and it was mostly addressed to believers. This portion of the Scripture talks to unbelievers.
God says the wicked hate instruction. They steal, lie, and slander other people, and many other things. He addresses them saying they thought He would be silent and leave them to their destructive ways, but He reminds them that He will judge them for their wicked ways and unbelief.
He declares that those who offer praise glorify Him. He says those whose conversation is right will see the salvation of God. Have you received the salvation of God through His Son, Jesus Christ?
In this world there are both wicked people and those who believe in God. As you read the Bible you will discover how God honors His people by showing favor to them and how He punishes the wicked for their evil ways. We all have a choice to make whether we choose to follow God or reject Him. He doesn't force His salvation on anyone; He gives us the freedom to choose Him. It's not His will that any should perish, but He gives us a free will. Have you chosen to follow God? This is the most important choice you will make in your life. The choice you make will determine where you spend eternity.
Daily Bible Reading:
Psalm 50:16-23
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
Things to think about:
- As you read this Scripture, where are you in the decision-making process?
- Are you described as one of the wicked ones or as one who praises and glorifies God?
- How can we help others to see the light?
Prayer of the Day:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 50. We see that You will judge both the wicked and believers. Help us to honor You with our lives. Forgive us of our sins and help us to praise and glorify You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Featured Book:
The Book of Psalms:
Part 2 Chapters 31-60
by Deborah H. Bateman
About the book:
The Book of Psalms: Part 2 Chapters 31-60 by Deborah H. Bateman is 27th book in the Daily Bible Reading Series. The book of Psalms contains 150 chapters. Deborah divided The Book of Psalms into five books to make it easier to read and study. Each book will contain approximately thirty chapters from the book of Psalms.
Psalm 119 will not be included in The Book of Psalms since Deborah has already published a book about it called: Psalm 119: Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet. The book of Psalms is one of Deborah's favorite books of the Bible. It is a great book to read if you're ever feeling down or need to renew your relationship with Christ. King David went through a lot of tough times in his lifetime, but he loved God and trusted God to protect him from his enemies.
The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.
The Book of Psalms: Part 2 Chapters 31-60 contains thirty-five Daily Bible Reading Lessons. Each lesson contains a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scriptures, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day. It is a great Bible study for individuals or group studies.

A few questions regarding SMP
Posted 26 April 2017 - 12:48 AM
I have my consultation coming up in early May (I'm a California resident), so I'm sure they will fill me in accordingly then, but I wanted feedback from the customer base.
I'm 24, and have been dealing with hair loss since I was 20 or so. Currently I have pretty decent coverage minus the forehead area, but the top is pretty damn thin and I imagine won't be around too much longer. My question is, with said thinning hair, is SMP for me at the moment? Or should I wait until it's gone? Ideally, I would do it now, but my concern is over the dotting/tattooing process. Is it blended with the remaining follicles on the top?
My second and last question is regarding going out in the sun (tanning etc). I've seen many posts about this issue(?), so excuse me for beating a dead horse. Im a big outdoors guy, so are there any limitations for tanning my face/head? For instance, pool/beach etc.
Thanks in advance for the replies my ex-bald brothers!

I think the one thing people have to remember about the sun argument, it just that it might lead to fading. It won't turn blue, or disapear overnight. It will react as a regular tattoo would. If you don't take care of it, it will fade, and you will need to pay for a touch up. Don't want to touch up? Where a hat or sunscreen.

Speak to your practitioner about your concerns and desires during your consultation. I went into my treatments with more hair than many of the cases I've seen on here. He was able to do a great job blending the SMP into my existing hair.

What length should my hair be at coming into the procedure? I normally wet shave it every other day, and was curious if I should allow for a little growth or just wet shave the night before or day of?
Thanks in advance.
Posted 24 May 2017 - 10:39 PM
Hey guys, as my procedure date comes up, im left with one last question.
What length should my hair be at coming into the procedure?
My practitioner said to shave the night before (no technique specified). He said not to worry about it, because if he were to want it any shorter, he could always shave it himself.

FOXBORO -- "My heart was here all along," said Matthew Slater. "I wanted to be here."
New England's special teams captain, working out Tuesday at Gillette, was exceptionally gracious when discussing his recent contract extension. This spring marked his first experience in free agency since being drafted by the Patriots in 2008.
"I was just happy they felt the same way about me and they wanted me back," he said. "For me, it was a no-brainer. I'm just very thankful they wanted me back here and they've given me an opportunity to continue my career here, just as they did four years ago. They gave me an opportunity to keep playing football when maybe not a lot of people would have. I'm just thankful to be here."
Where signing a three-year, 5.4 million deal doesn't let him forget last year's Super Bowl loss, it helps in looking toward the future. Yes, he's watched the game -- at the urging of his three-time NFL All Pro dad Jackie Slater. He's even been haunted by dreams of XLVI, dreams where the Patriots actually win.
But it's time to move on.
"I think it's important for us as a team to understand, we're not a Super Bowl team at this point. This is a new team. This is not the 2011 team. We shouldn't come in there expecting for teams to say 'Oh, that's the Patriots. They were in the Super Bowl last year.'
"We have to re-establish an identity. There's new players; we have to create an identity for this 2012 team. We're going to have to earn everything all over again. So we're back at ground zero now. We have a lot of work to do.''
