Hello and thank you for reading my guide. This is my first guide so please don't be too harsh :) This is my build that i use to rape in Solo Que ranked 5's. Please read and do the build before you rate!
By following this guide you will make a GOD!
I have 70% games won on him with an average kill/death ratio averaging at about 2 or 3
If you have any tips or Recomendations for this build please message me on Mobafire or on LoL at OpenBackpack
Play Style
Play very defensive until you have a good mushroom spread. Have mushrooms to cover your escape route is critical if you want to get in and get out unharmed. Ill have a section on shrooms later. Once you get your boots and 2 Daggers your can start to be the little annoying boy scout you are! Make sure there is no one in near bushes luring you in. With your boots and Move Quick you should not be touchable! Once you get you'r Madred's and Frozen Mallet you will be doing ridiculous amounts of damage.
Some Recommended Champions to lane with:
Fiddlesticks - Although squishy lane, the FEAR with shrooms and blinds you should be shutting down any AD Champion
Sion - Stun is AMAZING if you can plant a shroom under neath them just as he stuns.
Alistar - Amazing CC with a heal.
Dr.Mundo - Very tanky with a very nice SLOW.
Evelynn - although a squishy lane, then STUN is amazing.
Mordekaiser - Although Morde is lacking in CC, he provides some AMAZING harass and will keep minions off of you.
Rammus - TAUNT... Enough said.
SINGED - This is one of the best champions your could lane with and i recommend him. With his knock back and mega adhesive you will DOMINATE this lane.
WARNING: ALWAYS ONE SHROOM ON BACK UP READY TO BE PUT DOWN.(see more in Skillz that Kill section)
One of Teemo's most reliable abilities is Noxious Traps. These mushrooms will be watching your back as well as doing some crazy damage. Always think of where you going to need to run before engaging in your lane or before setting up a team fight. For example, if i'm laning on top i will have 2-3 mushrooms next to baron coming back to the middle bush. I'll also have 4-5 mushrooms on the top row of bushes. Following this build will make you pretty beefy but always have mushrooms in front and behind you before engaging.
Start of with 2
before my
After the blades you will have quite a bit of heath and decent life-steal, sometimes if i have the money i will pick up 3 blades before my boots.
Once you get your start on your , get two , don't worry about the .
After your have you'r you have a choice, if your feeling confident and doing well you can start on your or on . Most of the time i will get but is very nice as well.
For Madred's get > Madred's Razor > Pick Axe
After you'r / you have another choice!
Pretty simple just like /
if you are in trouble get the and if you are owning it up grab the .
Situational Items
- I sometimes get this if i feel i don't need the survivability items such as Banshee's Veil
- Gives you two lives!
Skillz that Kill
Some people have been asking the skill sequence I use in ranked matches its pretty straight forward.
If it is a close quarters champion start by and putting a right under their feet. Stand there until it blows up.
If you are winning the fight you can just keep up your auto attack. However if you are losing you need to listen up.
You need to pop just as the pops. Because of the mushrooms slow you should be able to out run them even if . Keep running to your that are covering your back. Also, keep them as soon as it comes off CD, at level 18 your blind will last for 3 seconds.
Thank you for reading my guide and please try it out. If you have any questions please message me on Mobafire on this account or in game, my summoner name is OpenBackpack

The perfect applicant shows up, but what will happen if he hires him? And, what makes him such a good fit for the position?
About the Author:
TD Trask is a writer of horror. A self-described reformed Scottish-Irish barbarian, he lives in Binghamton, NY with his wife, Dena and their two feline overlords, Ralphie and Gracie.
He has lived on both American coasts, has gotten his kicks on Route 66 more than once, visited Area 51, received an abrupt military invitation to leave Area 51, and is one degree of separation from Mel Gibson, Lou Ferrigno, James Whitmore and Bill Maher.
His first published novel, "Still Waters", is about a man who forms a deep and unexpected connection with a most unusual neighbor. "Legend of the Tiger" is an epic fantasy-thriller depicting the dangerous mission of a band of domestic animals trying to protect our planet from ecological terrorism. His latest effort, "Deadsville", co-written with author Dale Elster, is an anthology of short, throwback-style horror stories set in fictional Rock Creek, NY, where strange and terrifying things happen to everyday, rural people. Works-in-progress include "The Callers", a horror story set once again in Upstate's Rock Creek, as well as his next short story collection, "Banquet of Souls".

Never before has there been such an inside look at the Gotti family and their world of danger, betrayal and redemption. John Gotti was head of the Gambino crime family, which in its time was the largest and most powerful crime organization in the country. Known as the "Dapper Don," John Gotti's flamboyant style and outspoken personality made him one of the most famous mobsters of the 20th century and he ruled the underworld until he died from cancer in 2002 while serving a life sentence. In 1988, at the age of 24, Gotti Jr. became a "made man," and was officially inducted into the Mafia, making him the heir-apparent to head the Gambino crime family and follow in his father's footsteps. But in 1999, Gotti Jr. paid a now-famous last visit to his imprisoned and dying father to tell him he was ending his life of crime and getting out of the family business. During the years that followed his father's death, Gotti Jr. had a long legal battle ahead of him and served three jail sentences, totaling approximately nine years, for a variety of charges. Gotti Jr. was finally released from prison in December 2009.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy flew to Rome on Tuesday in a bid to patch up relations damaged by a festering row over thousands of Tunisian migrants who have been crossing into France from Italy.
France wants to "turn the page," a source in Sarkozy's office told AFP as the French leader held talks with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
The source said that the meeting, which comes after weeks of diplomatic squabbling, would result in "an initiative by France and Italy in Brussels".
Sarkozy and Berlusconi plan to issue a joint letter to European Union leaders calling for a revision of Europe's open-border treaty that would make it easier to impose temporary controls at the frontier, Italian media reported.
France and Italy will also demand a bolstering of the EU's Warsaw-based border agency Frontex and a bigger EU effort to establish immigration agreements with countries in the southern Mediterranean, the reports said.
Paris has accused Rome of abusing the Schengen pact by issuing temporary residence permits and travel documents to migrants fleeing North Africa in the knowledge that many among the French-speaking Tunisians want to go to France.
"Tensions have never been so high," Italy's Corriere della Sera daily said, explaining that the traditional France-Italy summit was only due to take place this summer but had been brought forward because of the dispute.
France has close ties to former colony Tunisia, and many would-be migrants among the more than 20,000 Tunisians given papers by Italy have friends and relatives in French cities and have been streaming across the border.
Both Berlusconi and Sarkozy -- who faces a presidential election in a year's time -- are under right-wing pressure on immigration at a time in which unrest in North Africa has displaced thousands of people around the Mediterranean.
First signed in 1985 as a giant step towards European integration, the treaty opening passport-free travel to 400 million people in 25 nations is in the line of fire as divided EU nations squabble over the migrant arrivals.
Italy has complained for weeks of being left alone to cope with the arrival of a total of nearly 30,000 migrants from North Africa so far this year, some fleeing the conflict in Libya, the majority economic refugees from Tunisia.
The two leaders are also expected to discuss policy on Libya, after Italy on Monday announced it would participate in NATO air strikes against the regime after initial reluctance due to Italy's colonial history in the country.
Rome is also preparing to host a meeting of an international contact group on Libya early next month that is expected to outline financial and material assistance measures for the opposition to embattled leader Moamer Kadhafi.
The two leaders are finally set to debate the thorny issue of recent inroads by French companies into the Italian economy with a string of takeover moves, which have raised nationalist sentiment in the weakened Italian economy.
Earlier on Tuesday, French dairy giant Lactalis launched a 3.4 billion euro ($4.9 billion) takeover bid for Italy's Parmalat saying it would create the biggest dairy products company in the world.
Lactalis already owns a 29-percent stake in Parmalat and controls Italian firm Galbani. Italian critics have raised fears that its takeover of Parmalat could give it a monopolistic position on the Italian market.

This is an old, apparently half-finished post that I found in my drafts folder. This project is from 2012.
Inspired by an opportunity to participate in a sanctioned yarn bombing event outside a nearby art museum, and a bag of free (and gloriously hideous) acrylic yarn to select from, I cast on this month for the Hanging Shoe project from Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet and Knit Graffiti.
This turned out to be a very quick knit, though it was slowed undocumented errata in the directions. Really, if anyone *at all* had read through the instructions as written, they would have found and fixed these mistakes before going to press.
For example, the instep directions leave off with "ending with a RS row," and next line begins "Row 1 [RS]: K2tog, k to end, 20 st." What happened to the WS row? Also, I chose to do the optional letter chart on the sole, but the soles are worked in garter stitch and I think the initial would have come out better if the chart portion were worked in stockinette.
The instructions suggest weighting the shoe with chestnuts and using pine cones as stuffing. Instead, I used snack bags of sand taped to the cardboard insole. For stuffing I used a coffee-stained skein of acrylic (my own) that was otherwise heading to the trash bin - cutting it in half and stuffing each toe. for the ankle, I used a plastic shopping bag and paper. In that way the paper was semi-protected from the rain.
Links to photos taken at the event can be found on the facebook page.

Jersey Royals Inspire British Summer Potato Frenzy
It might be raining, hailing or even snowing, but when Jersey Royal potatoes arrive in the shops, everyone knows it's the unofficial start of the British summer. There's always a mad dash to get the first batches of marble-sized Royals, thanks in part to a flurry of intense marketing not unlike that accorded to Beaujolais Nouveau.
Iconic Jersey Royal potatoes can only be grown in Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands that sit between England and France, and they boast a Protected Designation of Origin logo as proof of authenticity. Each Jersey Royal can be traced to its field of origin. Shallow-eyed with a fragile, golden skin and creamy yellow flesh, the chestnut-flavored taste of a true Jersey Royal is immediately distinctive.

» Nana's creamy potato salad becomes an heirloom dish
» 8 foods that can save your summer vacation
Jersey is a singular place, a Channel Isle not even in the Channel, proud of its convoluted constitution and relationship with the British crown, its ancient independence and parish individualities. It's an island as pretty as a postcard, yet with an air of suburbia. It's an Englander's dream of social order and old-style courtesies, but also une petite France — a little bit French — with roads signs in French and Jersais Norman names for places and people. It's France without tears — and without the French.
The island's steep, south-facing slopes, light and well-drained soil, and mild climate make it ideally suited for early potato crops, but sadly it is not uncommon to hear sighs of nostalgia that Jersey Royals are not what they used to be.
The island has only about a half-dozen commercial customers for the crop — the giant chains that buy 90 percent of the harvest. This creates particular pressures. Very few farmers use the traditional seaweed fertilizer known as vraic anymore; the use of artificial pesticides and fertilizers is high and most fields are covered with perforated polythene to force the potatoes ever earlier (a source of some environmental controversy).
Few farmers take the trouble or can devote the labor to hand planting and harvesting the steepest slopes, or côtils, which catch the morning sun like the best vineyards. However, if you can find them, these traditionally cultivated Jerseys will always stand out from the norm.
Local farmers also scorn the supermarket-led trend for "Baby" Jersey Royals — the earliest of the early are not always the best. A degree of maturity is needed to bring out the full, nutty richness, and many islanders prefer to eat their Royals later in the summer.
Jersey Royals: Where to find them, how to cook them
The dense but not overly waxy nature of these potatoes makes them best suited for boiling, frying, gratins and salads, because they do not disintegrate when steamed or boiled. The potatoes are best cooked with the skins on to preserve nutrients and flavor, and they only need a quick wash — scrubbing breaks the papery skin. At their finest Jerseys are true luxury ingredients, simply served with butter, mint and flakes of sea salt.
Indisputably, though, the best way of sampling the potatoes is via the island tradition of roadside farm stalls, where money is left in an honesty box — and no one abuses the system. As one islander explained to me, it is the best way of knowing you're eating potatoes that night that have been picked the same morning. Slathered in sunshine-yellow Jersey butter, they're rightly named: a royal feast, and a reminder that heaven can wait.
Here are three recipes that showcase what makes Jersey potatoes so special. Ninety percent of Jersey Royals are exported to the United Kingdom, but if you can't get your hands on any, these recipes also work well with other varieties of firm and waxy new potatoes.
Posh Potatoes to Impress the Neighbors
These are retro favorites making a comeback. Instead of baking the potatoes, you can boil them, but the slightly crunchy skin that comes from baking them is rather good.
Prep time: 40 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
3 to 4 cups small new potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
Small jar caviar, salmon or herring roe
1. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
2. Place the potatoes on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
3. Cut each potato lengthways in half and let cool to room temperature.
4. Spoon a little sour cream onto each half and top with some caviar or roe.
5. Serve straight away.
The Most Popular Potato Salad in Finland
This is a simple but extremely delicious way to prepare new potatoes that originated in the Karelian region of Finland.
Prep time: 40 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Yield: 2 to 3 servings
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups small new potatoes, boiled in their skins
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Fresh dill to taste
1. Melt the butter in a pan, then add the potatoes, salt and pepper. Stir carefully to coat the potatoes. If the potatoes seem too big for a mouthful, cut them in half.
2. Stir in the eggs and transfer to a serving dish.
3. Sprinkle with dill and serve either warm or chilled.
Pretty Pink Prawn and Potato Salad
This is a refreshing and light salad for summer days. Make sure the potatoes are nutty and well-flavored to get the full effect..
Prep time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 2 hours
Yield: 4 servings
4 cups Jersey Royals or waxy new potatoes (peeled and/or chopped to your preference)
1 to 2 avocados, peeled and chopped (sprinkle with lemon juice to stop browning)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
Half a small cucumber, peeled and sliced
Several radishes, thinly sliced
1 cup peeled, cooked small shrimp
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Mix all the ingredients in a serving bowl and toss to mix well. Serve with a bowl of mayonnaise or a yogurt dressing on the side.

Board of Directors
Ruth Parkin, DVM – President & Chair
Veterinarian, Self-Employed
Vancouver, Washington
Board Member Since 2002
Ruth grew up on a small family farm in Washington State. She graduated from Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005, and fell in love with Colorado. After working as a small animal veterinarian in Denver for several years, she recently moved back to Washington State to be closer to her family.
"I participated in my first spay/neuter clinic in Playa del Carmen during the summer of 2002 – I was in my second year of vet school at the time. We had a successful clinic, but there was obviously so much more to be done. The streets in the area were covered with sick, starving animals – a direct result of pet overpopulation and lack of resources to adequately address it. We recognized the need for a sustained presence and vowed to provide as much as we could. Four of us, all classmates at CSU, founded ViDAS that same year and have been working hard toward our cause ever since, sending down several crews a year to do high volume sterilization clinics while keeping our medical and safety standards as high as those used in clinics in the US. We are seeing changes and know that our approach is working! I am so proud of ViDAS, our crews, volunteers and our accomplishments so far and know that we will continue to do great things! Working with ViDAS has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life, and I look forward to working with our great vets, students and volunteers year after year. Thanks everyone for all your hard work!"

Cape Coral, Florida
Board Member Since 2008
Eric lives in Commerce City, Colorado in the Reunion neighborhood with his cat, Lennon. He is the CFO for Upstate Colorado Economic Development, a non-profit agency serving Weld County, Colorado. Eric joined the ViDAS family in 2008. He kept hearing about the clinics and decided to see what all the excitement was about going along to serve as the crew's house chef. He was so excited about the work the crews were doing that in addition to his exhausting duties preparing meals for over twenty-five people, he also lent his skills to the crew in the form of instrument scrubbing, technician and recovery assistance. As our clinics have grown, his duties as chef consume most of his time, but he does get to take the occasional photograph. Eric looks forward to many more successful ViDAS clinics keeping animals healthy, crew members fed and happy!

Afterwards, she worked as the Hospital Manager and Area Manager at a small animal clinic in Littleton, with Dr. Ruth Parkin. She lives in Lone Tree, Colorado with her husband, son and Staffordshire Terrier.
It was through her friendship and working with Ruth that Kristine came to ViDAS. In August of 2014, she went on her first trip as a vet tech/photographer and really enjoyed the experience. The people, the crew, the community, the dogs, the hard work … all of it equally amazing and wonderful. She looks forward to being able to attend and support future ViDAS trips.
Katie Thomas, DVM – Secretary
Veterinarian & Clinic Owner, Left Hand Animal Hospital
Niwot, Colorado
Board Member Since 2013
Katie grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania and was always playing with the dogs, barn cats, draft horses, and turtles around her family home. She had an interest in science and medicine growing up, but started her education in engineering at the University of Iowa. Finally, though, she decided that veterinary medicine was the perfect blend of her passions: medicine, animals, people, teaching and problem-solving. She finished her bachelors at UC Boulder and attended Colorado State University for vet school. She obtained her veterinary acupuncture certification at the same time.
In 2014, Katie and her business partner opened Left Hand Animal Hospital in Niwot, CO. Her veterinary interests include anesthesia, surgery, dentistry, ophthalmology, pain management/osteoarthritis, neurology, and chronic problems/client education. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, doing volunteer spay/neuter surgery, scuba diving, snowboarding, listening to music, and reading. She enjoys playing with her sassy cat, Brogan, and hiking with her BVHS rescue dog, Dobson.
Stacie Knapp, CVT – Social Media Coordinator
Veterinary Technician, Self-Employed
Denver, Colorado
Board Member Since 2002
Stacie became a Certified Veterinary Technician in 1992. She then went on to get her Bachelor's in Animal Science at the University of Denver in 1995. From there she spent several years in general practice before specializing in Oncology. She works with Veterinary Cancer Specialists in Denver Colorado where she has been since 2000.
In 2000 after several Caribbean trips marred by heartbreaking encounters with stray dogs and cats in dire need of medical attention she wondered if there was a way to marry the two worlds. To be able to go to places in need in the tropics and to use her veterinary skills would be the perfect match. Animals in the tropics face a myriad of challenges related to parasitism, different economic means and cultural differences in standards pet care. She found a small group that focused on the Yucatan and after they changed their focus to the Baja region she found VIDAS.
Stacie has been with VIDAS since it's an inception back in 2002. She is a board member and veteran veterinary technician volunteer having lost track of the number of clinics she has attended. Her main focus has been the Akumal/Tulum region. She has donated months of her vacation time and hundreds of dollars to help the mission of VIDAS. Having recently had a baby she donated a car to be auctioned with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit VIDAS in lieu of her skills until she can get back to volunteering her time. Volunteering for VIDAS has been life altering. She has learned that with the right people involved you can affect a change for the better in whatever is your personal passion.
Travis Linney, DVM, MBA, MS – Board Member
Veterinarian – Austin Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center
Austin, Texas
Board Member Since 2011
Dr. Travis Linney grew up Just outside of Denver, Colorado at the base of the beautiful Rocky Mountains. At the age of 6, after realizing his natural draw to animals, the outdoors, and all things science, he decided that being a veterinarian was his only path forward, and so it came to be. He started his college career at Colorado State University and completed his BS in Biology in 2009. Shortly after completing his undergraduate degree, while working as a technician at a local emergency vet, he heard about ViDAS through one of his friends/mentors/coworkers and got on board. Following his first volunteer experience in Mexico with ViDAS, he was absolutely hooked. Since that first trip, Travis has attended 12 ViDAS clinics to date and his involvement has grown in the non-profit each year. Back in Colorado, still working on his lifelong dream of becoming a Veterinarian, he pursued an MS in Biomedical Sciences in 2010, and was accepted into CSU's joint MBA/DVM program in the fall of 2011. Travis graduated from Colorado State University in 2016 with his DVM, continued on to an internship in emergency medicine in Phoenix, AZ, and now works as an emergency clinician in Austin, TX.

Pod Ratings and Reviews
It was the worst experience ever. With the reservation we have to wait 30 min. Noise level was really high and server forgot to bring cake for my wifes birthday eventhough mention them in advance.
I wouldnt recomand this overpriced place with bad service to anyone.
This was my first time trying Pod and it was a very pleasant experience ! Good menu selection, ambiance was modern/futuristic. The space was larger than i expected. There was a conveyer belt that I'll definitely have to try next time. Our server was attentive and friendly. A little pricey, but the food was delicious. I recommend at least trying once. 😁
Came with a group of 6 people for an early dinner and they put us in an elevated little room/pod which was fabulous. As the dinner progressed, it got louder out in the rest of the restaurant, but stayed really easy to hear our guests in the pod. I would definitely come with a group and request that table. Food was really good. Some of us had sushi, some had rice or noodles, and we all enjoyed a variety of vegetarian appetizers that were all great.
Had lunch date with our 23 year old granddaughter. We like to try different restaurants when we get together with her every few weeks. Selected Pod on location (University City) and menu. We were quite pleased with my choice. The food and service were excellent. Great ambiance; felt like we were visiting a futuristic space station. Surprised to learn Pod has been in business many years. How did we miss it? Look forward to returning when we are in the City next; we live 40 miles north. Worth the drive.
Excellent mix of sushi options along with a Robata Grill. The chicken in lettuce leaves with peanut sauce is outstanding as are the chicken satay skewers. On the day we were there service was very spotty took a long time just to get water or even a drink at first. It's a great place to order a number of different things and share them at the table.
Pod is awesome -- checks all the boxes! Love the ultramodern decor. Great sushi, even though that is only part of a highly varied menu. And the chef is clearly having a lot of fun: particularly fond of the fluffernutter egg rolls and their presentation in a Chinese take-out box. Very cute.
Pod was once a pioneer. It is still a good restaurant especially popular with University of Pennsylvania students when their parents visit. That said, it's old. Many years and it's allure is wearing thing and in need of updating physically -- and the menu. Again still good, just not what it was 15 years ago
Food was excellent. We got a few maki rolls and a delicious macadamia chicken stir fry with brown rice, which was super fresh! Service was great too! Beautiful ambiance with the colorful lighting. We will definitely be back!
Two years ago four of us had a truly underwhelming meal at Morimoto. In the review I said the sushi is better at Pod. Both restaurants are under Stephen Starr's very large umbrella and the contrast was interesting. Morimoto is meant to be taken very seriously but didn't deliver whereas Pod, which certainly does not appear to take itself too seriously at all, has never failed to deliver the (best) goods.
We have been to Pod about 10 times and have always been impressed. Yes, you can go there and get pad thai and various Chinese dishes, but the star attractions are the sushi and the Japanese fare.
A good yardstick for determining how good a sushi restaurant is, is the tuna when it is available in varying degrees of fat. At Pod, you can get lean tuna plus medium and fatty. Get a flight of the three and see which tastes best. At most sushi places, the lean tuna is translucent pink slap with a slightly grainy texture. At a good sushi restaurant, the lean tuna is distinctly red and dense and has an intense flavour. Pod is such a place. The cheap one on the left end of flight may very well be the taste winner.
What makes Pod fun and interesting are the less traditional sushi offerings. The Rockin Spicy Tuna is a spicy tuna roll with a tempura rock shrimp atop each bite. Hardly legitimate sushi, but tasty and extremely well executed. Likewise the Hamachi Salsa Roll. But be warned; the jalapeño on top of each piece is hot.
The Frosty Wagyu Fried Rice with foie gras is also very good but it is a bit heavy so best left until later in the meal.
And finally there's the house favorite Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice. One might have cause to be wary of the one dish that is clearly singled out on the menu. But the spicy tuna on top of a rectangular log of fried sticky rice is really excellent. But again, save it for the end of the meal.
Food was excellent, service efficient and hostesses accommodating and seated immediately. However, I doubt I will return. The noise level is more than "energetic." Add the music to the equation and for anyone over 60 it is not an experience that a choose to revisit. I have eaten at Pod for years, however, as my group ages this is not the atmosphere we opt to dine.
The atmosphere is always nice. I'm disappointed that the Chilean Sea Bass, apricot sauce, sweet/hot mustard, and seafood rice are no longer on the menu. The $9.50 seafood fried rice has been replaced with a $19 crab rice that is not as tasty. The quality of the food has not declined. However, quality has taken a noticeable hit.
Great family get together with 10 people in a Pod. Being in a Pod definitely brings the noise exposure way way down. Zach was a great server, patient and helpful. Everything was perfect. I still miss the drink selection and the Caesar salad that is no longer on the menu. It is still our favorite Starr restaurant.
They were out of a few popular items like the sea bass. But they did make a dish I love that was no longer offered on the menu. I substituted the Bronzino and it was just ok. It in no way replaced the sea bass. Everything else was very good. My date ordered the chicken stir fry, that was excellent. The Haddock appetizer was also very good.

300 Arguments (Graywolf, 2017)
300 Arguments, a pocket-sized foray into the frontier of contemporary nonfiction writing, is, at first glance, a group of unrelated aphorisms. But the pieces reveal themselves as a masterful arrangement that steadily gathers power. To read them is to witness acrobatic acts of compression in the service of extraordinary psychological and spiritual insight. Manguso's arguments about desire, ambition, and failure add up to an unexpected and renegade wisdom literature.
"Sarah Manguso is a poet-philosopher of the highest order who combines a laser-sharp intellect with a lyric gift and a capacious, generous heart. With 300 Arguments she deepens her inquiry into the very essence of what it is to be human."
Dani Shapiro
"300 Arguments shook me." (John Jeremiah Sullivan)… "Almost mathematical in its precision." (San Francisco Chronicle)… "I wanted to gift it to everyone I know, read it aloud to strangers on the bus, and transcribe it by hand in its entirety like a holy text." (Portland Mercury)… "A great, great, great book. If Springsteen wrote this, we'd be screaming about it." (Penn Jillette)… "So good that I keep throwing it across the room and going to pick it up again." (Entropy)… "The best example of this genre I've experienced since reading Nietzsche in college."

Published: Tuesday 25th November 2014 by The News Editor
Alastair Cook and his England team are in a state of shock at the plight of Australia batsman Phil Hughes, as they prepare for the start of their one-day international series against Sri Lanka.
The stricken Hughes has undergone emergency surgery and is in an induced coma and critical condition after being felled by a bouncer during a Sheffield Shield match at the Sydney Cricket Ground .
Cook's tourists woke up to the grim news in Colombo, where they are due to face their hosts in the first of seven ODIs on Wednesday.
Messages of concern, support and hope that the 25-year-old Hughes – who was struck just below the line of the helmet on the back of his head as he swivelled to try and hook a Sean Abbott delivery – will make a full recovery have been communicated throughout the cricket world all day.
At Cook's press conference, he expressed those same sentiments.
Previously pressing issues such as the captain's form, and England's need to begin their World Cup winter with some more convincing performances, were largely set aside as Cook instead spoke for his team in wishing and praying Hughes' condition improves.
Cook said: "Since we woke up this morning, the whole team have been in a bit of shock all day.
"All our thoughts and prayers are with Phillip."
Most of the England team have played against Hughes at some time, and three have been county colleagues in his stints at Middlesex and Worcestershire.
"It's a really saddening incident," added Cook.
"Fingers crossed, he can show the same fight he's shown throughout his whole career and he can pull through."
The battling opener was desperately unlucky, it seems, to have been hit on an unprotected part of his head in an era when helmets have made serious injuries of this nature so rare.
Cook was reluctant to discuss the issue of whether any improvements in equipment need to be made.
"It's probably not the time and place to be talking about that in this moment in time.
"The whole dressing room is just massively concerned for Phillip.
"As for player safety (and equipment), at the moment it's kind of irrelevant. It's all about him, and his family and friends.
"We send him our best from here.
"This is just something very unexpected. For that tragedy to happen on a cricket field, I'd never heard of anything (like it)."
By cruel coincidence, Pakistan batsman Ahmed Shehzad was struck on the head in a Test match earlier this month and suffered a fractured skull – an injury which, thankfully, does not appear to have been as bad as it might have been.
"Thankfully, they are rare," said Cook.
"It does make you aware that when a guy is bowling 90mph it is a dangerous game. But we hope it is an isolated incident."
England, along with millions of others, will be waiting to hear of Hughes' medical progress in the coming hours and days – but they must also put their minds to the impending action at the Premadasa Stadium.
"We will have to concentrate on our cricket," added Cook.
"We have this chunk of one-day cricket, which certainly I've never had – six months of it leading up to the World Cup.
"I hope we can make some really big improvements in a short space of time."
The tourists have been beset by bad weather, which washed out their second warm-up match, and Cook anticipates the Sri Lanka rainy season will cause more interruptions.
He is set to open with Moeen Ali, who made such a favourable impression in last Friday's warm-up win.
But if the weather does intervene, England may have to think on their feet – in selection and tactics.
"We can't control the weather, and I'm not sure we're going to be able to control it over the next couple of weeks," Cook added.
"Things might change on the day. We're going to have to be flexible on that."
Cook knows too it is time for England to deliver after a run of ODI series defeats under his leadership.
"Obviously, it wasn't ideal our second practice game getting washed out," he said.
"Only two batters have really had any middle time in a game situation.
"I think we've made some really good progress in this week-and-a-half.
"We've talked a good game so far in meetings and nets, and I could not ask the lads for any more effort.
"But the crux of the matter is how we pull up tomorrow, and how we play."

is SET NAMES still common practice
Is it still common practice to use this
PHP Code:
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
This is the first i have seen this and from what i understand it is not widely used that much.
I plan to convert it to
PHP Code:
mysqli_query($dbconnect, "SET NAMES 'utf8'");
Update I do see where it has to be set prior to mysqli_real_escape_string

Original paper
Epibryic diatoms from ombrotrophic mires: diversity, gradients and indicating options
Poulíčková, Aloisie; Bergová, Klára; Hnilica, Radek; Neustupa, Jiří
Nova Hedwigia Band 96 Heft 3-4 (2013), p. 351 - 365
published: May 1, 2013
The present study focuses on comparison of recent diatom diversity within the unique Central European ombrotrophic wetlands in two regions with contrasting levels of past atmospheric depositions (Jizerské hory Mts. and Jeseníky Mts.). Further, two methods of mire diatom sampling (squeezing and mineralization of the entire moss sample) are compared at the same localities to determine whether bryophyte herbarium specimens could be used for studies on the historical development of peat bog areas. There were a total of 47 diatom species at 59 sites within 13 ombrotrophic mires along the Czech-Polish-German border areas. The regions did not differ in diatom species richness. The two-group pattern along the Axis 1 in NMDS ordination analysis did not correspond with the regional distribution. The inter-site variation in diatom assemblages was lower than the intra-site variation. The combination of three environmental variables (conductivity, pH, and height above water table - HWT) appears to be able to explain the diatom distribution patterns. No significant differences were found between the composition of diatom species of moss and squeezed samples. However, moss samples can be characterized by significantly greater species richness, most likely because the mineralization of the whole bryophyte minimizes the losses of diatom frustules caused by the squeezing method. These results allow us to reccommend herbarized bryophytes as a source of missing information on the sub-recent diatom diversity of mires.

It's good to be here. When we come together, we find a safe, friendly place; in a way, it is sanctuary in a world of turmoil and change.
I remember when Sunday morning was almost entirely for sanctuary. Church was for seeing people of similar background, for shared music, shared ideas about God and how the world works, and especially for assurance that life's most important answers were in hand.
Now I am older and I am here, at C3—a Creative, Compassionate Community. Here, in addition to a sense of friendship and sanctuary, we experience a sense of the world's complexity and its pain, and the sense of having few answers. It can feel both like an easy place to be, and a difficult place to be. I wonder sometimes what it is that draws us as individuals to go in a more complex and more demanding direction than many other folks who meet on Sunday mornings.
I know that some here are motivated primarily by compassion for people; some are motivated by compassion for the earth. For others, creativity propels them to share themselves; and others, their sense of adventure. I think we each have a special personal energy that moves us.
One motivating force we sometimes forget: the force of curiosity, the shear desire to know. And what is more interesting and complex to know about than other human beings: people with different languages, different geographical homes, different appearance, different religions and different views of life. They are so different in so many ways, yet in the end, we find they are so much like us.
Here is a poem about drawing the circle of people in our lives continually wider, starting perhaps where we all start.
I'm living in a little world,
nicely safe and quite confined.
Little views are all I share
with people of my kind.
My thoughts are rarely challenged
so my mind is little too.
It's time to open up my eyes
and get a larger view;
I'll stretch my little circle out
to get you inside the line,
so I can learn about your life
and you can learn of mine.
And never mind your clothes, your looks,
your job or politics;
just join me as we stretch ourselves
to join the human mix.
Let's circle in some different folks
in a different part of town,
some that have lots more—or less
and some that got knocked down.
Let's draw life's circle out larger yet,
we can't discriminate
—draw in the ugly and sublime
—some who love and some who hate.
Swing the arc out wide and long
to hold all kinds of folks and clans
—of every color, every faith,
—from every climate, every land.
Make it wide, and wider still
to circle all; leave none alone
—until we're circled by the world
and all the world is home.

The Leadership School is proud to sponsor the Leadership Community
Our vision at The Leadership School is to create a community of local business managers and leaders who are there to support (and sometimes challenge) each other. We know that managers and leaders can sometimes feel isolated or disconnected and believe that the challenges we face are 'ours' and are not also being faced by others
In reality we often all face similar challenges and it can be reassuring to be able to discuss what these are with like-minded people who are ready to share their thoughts, experiences and ideas
We host quarterly Round Table events as opportunities not to sell your business but to connect with others. There are no 'one-minute' rounds and the focus is on relaxing, having fun and connecting with each other to build supportive relationships
Each time there is a different topic and sometimes we invite a speaker to join us whilst other times we use the time to explore the topic in more depth and to spend more time connecting with each other
Our next event will be held on Wednesday 6th December at The Olive Shed in central Bristol - Our topic for this breakfast event will be confirmed shortly but feel free to book your complimentary place in the meantime and we will keep you updated

San Franciscan Joseph Denevy used to head down the coast in the late 1940s to play the links at the Sharp Park Golf Course. He liked the area and one weekend drove down with his wife Frances and their youngest daughter Mary, 11, to give the surrounding area a good look-see. Their eldest, Joanne, wasn't with them.
The family ended up buying a house on Palmetto, just so many doors south from the soon-to-be-opened Seavue Movie Theater. Joanne was not happy about it.
"It was 1949, I was 14 and I was going to Sacred Heart High School," she said. "I had gone all these years to school with the same friends and now all of that was going to change."
The family moved from a flat in San Francisco's Hayes Valley District. The house in Pacific Manor was brand new and had a yard. She liked that immediately and has lived in Pacifica ever since.
Her dad worked as a supervisor at the main post office in San Francisco. He had also been a driver with Yellow Cab. Her mom worked as a Yellow Cab driver during the War. In fact, she was San Francisco's first female cab driver. She went on to work at the Bank of California.
"This area was very different back then," Joanne said. "So much open space and of course that was before the widening of the highway."
Joanne transferred to Jefferson High School in Daly City. There were just a few students on the coast and their bus driver lived in Linda Mar. He was also a biology teacher as well as the drummer at Nick's Restaurant.
"Back then we kids used to meet at Louie's Creamery after school," she recalled, "or at Tic Tock for hamburgers. On Friday and Saturday nights we'd dance to the jukebox over at the Quonset hut in Sharp Park."
Joanne learned how to drive on her father's 41 Packard. When she turned 16 the car was hers.
"I used to speed down the highway in that car, just like all the kids," she laughed.
Back in her teen years, Joanne also rode motorcycles.
"I used to get into 'teen' mischief with my three girlfriends," she said.
They would go swimming at the archery range, "they had a puddle there and we were in it," and would ride horses out of Happy Hollow Stables in the back of Pacific Manor.
"One time one of those horses ran away with me, all the way from the top of Pacific Manor, across the old highway, and out into the sand," she said. "It stopped just at the cliff. Thankfully my dad didn't see it because he would have kicked my butt."
Joanne was raised Catholic and until Good Shepherd opened, she used to walk to Rockaway Beach where church "and confession" was held in the Trading Post.
She started working in San Francisco at age 16. Her future husband Don Wright drove a truck in the city and also worked at the gas station just across the highway in Pacific Manor. He saw her walking one day to her job on Brannan and honked. She didn't pay him much attention until she ran into him in Pacifica at the gas station. She was 18 when they married.
Their first child Joseph was born when they were renting a place on Pacific Avenue in Sharp Park. Their son Donald Jr. came along when they were renting on Moana Way, though he only lived a month. The couple then moved to Vallemar where they bought a "small house" on Juanita Avenue. Their daughter Patricia was born there. They moved to a bigger place on Adobe Drive in Linda Mar and then eventually back to Pacific Manor.
All of Joanne's family lived in Pacific Manor, which included her husband's folks, his brother and his family, her sister Mary and her husband Frank Nash and their family.
In 1954, Joanne's father-in-law and her husband bought the Surf Club, which was renamed the Surf Lounge when they moved to the west side of the highway. They owned it for 38 years. Joanne did the bookkeeping and office work and Don handled the bar.
"We knew everyone back then," she recalled. "We couldn't go through the grocery store without running into half the town. And everybody loved Don. He was a good guy."
"My brother-in-law's barbershop was right next door when we moved to the west side of the highway," she continued. "That was a lot of fun to be there with Frank."
She lost her husband Don in 2002. They were married almost 48 years.
"I've lost a lot of family," Joanne said, "including my oldest son, my sister, and my niece. But I still have family here and they mean everything."
"I have a lot of good memories here," she went on to say. "Heading over to Nick's for dinner and dancing or to the Mori Point Inn. I still have the Mori Point Inn cocktail book. We used to make some of those drinks at the bar."
In the summer of 2006, she married Bob Capparelli. They had known each other as friends 40 years back and both had lost their spouses.
"After all my complaining to my parents about moving to Pacifica back in 1949, it's turned out to be a pretty great place to live after all," she said.

text: The person behind the blog was eventually outed, so any revival would have to deal with that.We may never get more of the Upper East Side gang, but it's nice to know that Lively is at least willing to consider the possibility.Xoxo.[via: Variety] Posted April 20, 2017 by Stephanie Topacio LongSpotted: Blake Lively talking about a "Gossip Girl" reunion.It looks like six seasons of playing Serena van der Woodsen wasn't necessarily Lively's limit. The former "Gossip Girl" star discussed the possibility of a revival of the CW drama during a recent interview with Variety, and she revealed that she is willing to consider it should the opportunity arise."I don't know. Why not?" she said when asked if Netflix could reboot the series.Of course, she wouldn't reprise her role for just any revival attempt. They eventually aged out of school, but one thing that stayed constant was a the mysterious blogger "Gossip Girl" revealing their secrets online. "Would I do seven years of the show? No, because it's hard work and I've got my babies, and I don't want to be away from them that much."Returning to New York City, though, seems like something Lively would enjoy if a "Gossip Girl" reunion came to pass."We had so much fun shooting and living and working in New York City," she said.When it began airing, the series followed a group of students at an elite high school on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Lively specified that she'd only want to be involved "if it was good, [and] if it made sense." Plus, signing on for several seasons doesn't sound appealing to her — not as a mother of two."It sort of all depends," she said.

text: Lorenzo Goetz, Jesus Elephant Todd J. Hunter December 20, 2007 Reviews Open the jewel case for Jesus Elephant to find just that: a pachyderm with a halo, or more specifically, a cartoon pachyderm with a cartoon halo. The merry pranksters of Lorenzo Goetz maintain this same angelic appearance amid original material such as "Flagrante Delicto (3some)." The challenge for a Lorenzo Goetz album is to stand on its own, even if no studio recording can compare to the bacchanalian revelry that makes Lorenzo Goetz such a popular concert draw. Nor can a single song epitomize the pudding of pop, hip hop, Brit and stoner rock, and mariachi that more or less is Lorenzo Goetz, although "Muy Macho" and "Flagrante Delicto (3some)" come close. Two sides of the same coin, the former is coy and buoyant and signals that this album means business, while the latter is a sultry slow-burner that conjures images of some Gypsy tea parlor an hour inland from the Mediterranean. The rest of Jesus Elephant leans more toward standard pop. Most fun is "Several Days Away," an ebullient number new to the live set and prime single material despite colorful language. "Jesus Elephant," the title track and lead single, sounds like a one-off collaboration between The Flaming Lips and Grandaddy, except that Larry Gates has a stronger voice than Jason Lytle. The one misfire is "Buddah," a hip-hop track so overshadowed by guest talent that any musical link to Lorenzo Goetz is unrecognizable until the three-minute mark. Jesus Elephant is a good album, fuller and overall more focused than what preceded it. If only it better reflected the chemistry and spontaneity of Lorenzo Goetz, it would defy easy categorization as local or regional music. Even so, it is a welcome menu or tour manual for the next trip. Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.

Before J. Cole came out, the big screens flanking the Liberty Stage showed a montage of cops brutalizing black men and women. It was set to the doleful strains of Cole's "Be Free," a track he rush-released as a response to the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.
Was the party atmosphere at Made in America about to get a polemical rebuke? No, the North Carolina rapper's performance was notably free of racial commentary. Instead he gave an energetic reading of his tracks, strutting, stumbling, and jumping around the stage like a crazed scarecrow to act out the sentiments of his lyrics.
After a guest appearance by rapper Bas on on "Lit," Cole built to a volcanic climax of "Can't Get Enough," "Crooked Smile," and "Power Trip." It left the performer drained. The crowd clearly wanted more.

text: URMC / Labs / Rand Lab Rand Lab My research interests are deeply rooted in understanding the molecular mechanisms of how environmental factors impact neural development. Our laboratory is therefore focused on investigations of the environmental neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg). We have long understood from historic accidental MeHg poisonings in Japan and Iraq that the fetal nervous system is the preferred target for MeHg toxicity and that permanent neurological deficits can result from prenatal MeHg exposure. Widespread human exposure to MeHg persists in today's society, largely originating from mercury released in fossil fuel emissions and culminating with the intake of dietary fish that has bio-magnified MeHg from the environment. Despite its unquestionable toxicity, there remains considerable uncertainty in determining the risks associated with MeHg exposure, which has propagated controversy over the harm versus benefit of fish in the diet. Our studies are therefore pointed at addressing a priority concern for human health. At the same time, we are seeking a deeper understanding of fundamental mechanisms of neural development and their vulnerability to environmental insult. Our investigations use a unique combination of methods of toxicology and molecular genetics based in a premier model of developmental biology: Drosophila melanogaster (the fruit fly). Our overall approach is one of gene discovery and functional validation. We are discovering novel genes and pathways that influence developmental toxicity of MeHg through methods of whole genome screening and bioinformatics. In parallel, we are characterizing newly and previously identified MeHg tolerance and susceptibility genes in the context of whole animal development using transgenic flies. We are invoking a translational component to our research through integrated genetic analyses of several conserved genes in humans by probing DNA samples from the Seychelles Child Development Study, a longstanding cohort study of MeHg and development based at the University of Rochester.

See an extract from the Introduction to the first Quarterly Report below.
The cost is £50 for the year. For that you will receive four reports. You can subscribe by clicking the link Add to Cart below, or visit the Store page on this blog.
Subscribers so far have included QCs, academics, solicitors and legal executives.
Many of us now have to plan our Continuous Professional Development and record the tasks completed. By subscribing to my Quarterly Reports you can keep abreast of legal developments in clinical negligence and build your knowledge of that area of law. Each report has links to the cases referred to so that you can build a library of case law. You can meet many of your CPD needs by subscribing.
"2017 has got off to an interesting start. The first seven cases of the year, decided in the High Court and Court of Appeal, were all won by Claimants with the next three being decided in favour of Defendants. There have been some fascinating decisions and no fewer than five clinical negligence judgments in the Court of Appeal compared with two for the whole of 2016. All the cases are listed with links on my blog, but there is also a list of the cases reviewed in this Quarterly Report with links below.
HHJ Robinson's decision on the scope of the duty of care of an A&E receptionist was upheld by a majority decision in the Court of Appeal. The issue of consent following Montgomery has been significant in two of the leading cases and these are discussed at length in this report. The relevance of the Bolam test to histopathological reporting was considered by Kerr J in Muller v King's College Hospital. The Courts' approach to expert evidence was once again a significant feature in clinical negligence case law. Jeremy Baker J adopted and applied dicta of Green J which may become standard text in future skeleton arguments and judgments. The Court of Appeal upheld a trial judge's approach to an expert's failure to disclose a connection with a party to the litigation and the Courts' willingness to openly criticise experts remained evident but with an intriguing reversal of fortunes for two particular experts. The Court of Appeal began the quarter by upholding a generous award in respect of a second home and ended it by upholding a judge who had over-shared his own experiences of knee treatment when dealing with a case involving treatment of a knee. Perhaps the most important development in this quarter has come not from the courts but from the Ministry of Justice with the Lord Chancellor's announcement of a new discount rate of -0.75% which came into force on 20 March. Although not within my self-imposed remit, I have included a section on the new discount rate in this review."
