Arguing On Twitter With Facts

Boss: Watch me win this debate on Twitter by providing facts and logic. Now we wait for everyone in the world to change their minds. Dilbert: How's the first minute going? Boss: What is wrong with these monsters?!!

Man: Your email was ignorant and arrogant. Dilbert: How do you know it isn't just a reading comprehension problem on your end? Let's use logic to see which one of us is right. Bad decision 2. Bad decision 3.
Saturday September 28,
Dilbert sits at his desk looking at his computer. Dilbert says, "I have become one with my computer." Dilbert continues, "It is a feeling of ecstasy . . . The perfect blend of logic and emotion." Dilbert says, "I have reached . . ." Dogbert says, "Nerdvana."
Wednesday December 04,
Zimbu the Monkey sits at his desk working on the computer. Dilbert says, "It's time to end this charade, Zimbu!" Dilbert continues, "Your language skills are simple rote behavior. Monkeys are incapable of logic and reasoning." Dilbert looks at the computer screen and says, "Ha! And that program you're writing -- it's probably in 'Basic.'" Zimbu asks, "Do you ever work?"
Thursday July 23,
Dilbert says to the garbage man, "I know that my computer model is accurate, but nobody believes me when I predict that squirrels will conquer the earth." The garbage man replies, "Of course, you're aware that according to 'Chaos Theory' any complex iterative model is no better than a wild guess, even if the logic is perfect." Dilbert replies, "You're making that up." The garbage man says, "You caught me; I'm really a giant spy squirrel in disguise."
Friday June 10,
"I've never seen you do any real work around here, Irv. How do you get away with it?" "I wrote the code for our accounting system back in the mid-eighties. It's a million lines of undocumented spaghetti logic." "It's the Holy Grail of technology!!" "You boys may find a little extra in your envelopes this month."
Sunday December 02,
Dilbert says, "I made a nice avacado dip for us, Dogbert." Dogbert sits on the hassock holding a bag of potato chips. He says, "I hate avacados." Dilbert sits in his chair and asks, "How do you know, if you haven't tried them?" Dogbert says, "How do you know you don't like cramming potato chips up your nose? YOU've never tried THAT." Dilbert replies, "Fair enough . . . I can't dispute your logic." Dilbert says, "If you try the dip, I'll cram potato chips up my nose." Dogbert says, "Deal." Dogbert tries the dip and says, "Hmm . . . Good." Dilbert stuffs chips up his nose and repeats, "Ouch . . . Ouch . . ." Dilbert says, "Id feelth aboud like I thoughd id would." Dogbert says, "I lied. I've liked avacados for years."
Sunday July 07,
Dogbert and Dilbert walk through the park. Dilbert asks, "Do you think people are basically good or evil?" Dogbert replies, "Well, I know dogs are basically good." Dogbert continues, "And dogs are better than people." Dogbert continues, "But people are better than cats." They sit down under a tree. Dogbert continues, "And cats are evil . . ." Dogbert continues, "Therefore, all people are stupid." Dilbert says, "I don't follow that logic." Dogbert says, "Yes, my theory predicts you would say that."
Monday December 30,
Dilbert stands at the reservation desk in a hotel. He says, "No rooms?? If the Pope showed up, would you have a room for HIM?" The clerk replies, "Yes." Dilbert says, "Okay, then give me HIS room!" He thinks, "I am so clever." Dilbert says, "Let's see you squirm out of THAT logic, weasel-girl." The Pope stands behind Dilbert.
Saturday February 22,
The Boss tells Dilbert, "I've decided to abandon logic and manage by cliches." The Boss continues, "It won't be easy, but I'll take it one bird at a time." The Boss continues, "And remember, the customer is always right-handed." Dilbert says, "This is actually an improvement."

Boston scored both its runs in the third inning, as Mitch Moreland and Pablo Sandoval each had RBI singles.
Sunday, March 12 at Philadelphia Phillies. L 6-5. Eduardo Rodriguez had a very encouraging start, giving up three hits and one run in four innings.

When it comes to a road trip, sometimes it's less about the destination and more about how you get there. But is this also true when it comes to time travel devices? Sure, you could just go into a plain room like in "12 Monkeys," but where's the sense of style with that? Let's face it, driving a Delorean is cooler than going back to 1955 and having your mom try to get into your Calvin Kleins.
We explore the Rushmore of Time Travel Devices with the help of our good friend Paul Lurie, who suggested the topic. He is one of the best Duck Boat drivers in Boston, which means he knows a thing or two about cool forms of transportation. As far as we know, the Duck Boats aren't time travel devices, though. Yet.
So join us for an episode that was prerecorded, which means it's basically a time travel device right there. (And definitely not as cool as a Delorean.)

Some Great Locksmith Advice That You Can Trust
Locks are vital for security in everyday life. They also prevent possibly bad guys from entering into places they shouldn't be. This article will provide you with everything you need to know about hiring a good locksmith . Keep reading to learn how to find the right one for you.
Tape off the locks in your home prior to painting. If you paint over the key hole and seal it, the key won't fit in and you'll need to contact a locksmith. Although covering your locks takes time, it is worth it when you consider the cost of replacing locks.
You need to ascertain the individual will have your best interest. Some locksmiths are scammers and will make copies of your permission.
Be careful of any locksmith who gives you a quote then raises the price upon arrival. Unfortunately, there are some locksmiths that are scan artists. You should get rid of them if a locksmith tells you it will be more expensive than the previously agreed price.
Avoid higher fees by using a locksmith during regular hours. The price a locksmith services that are required after hours can vary widely. The after hours fees can almost double the fees charged during normal business hours.
You should always check with the Better Business Bureau before hiring a locksmith. This will let you know if the locksmith is reputable.
Check the BBB site to see if you can rely on a locksmith is reliable. This will help you know if the locksmith is an established businessperson with your choice.

The Internet is a valuable tool that will help you to easily verify a locksmith's credentials, so be sure to use it.
Do not use a locksmith that changes their quote upon arrival. There are many locksmiths out there who want to rip you off.
Try finding a locksmith way before you're going to need their services. If you only wait until you have an emergency, like when you forgot your car keys or house keys, you will not have many good choices of locksmiths on hand. You may even end up using someone with a less than stellar reputation.
Choose locksmiths who are active participant of the professional community. It helps to ensure that you have a locksmith who stays updated on your locks. It also help you he is not some fly by night operation that will leave you for all you've got!
Never hire a locksmith after only considering one. Call a few to get a feel for the options available. This will go a long way to helping to familiarize yourself with what the market price is for locksmith work. Once you know this, it will be possible for you to choose a locksmith that is charging a fair rate.
Get references before you hire a locksmith in your home.Call all of the references before hiring them. You need the locksmith and a person that you can completely trust.
If you're not satisfied with services render, let the company know immediately. If you fail to do so, they may not fix the issue for free. If the answer you receive from the company is not satisfactory, turn to the consumer protection agency in your area.
There are a number of reliable websites that can be found online. Make sure review websites are not however tied to any locksmith service or sponsor. Check the BBB before you hire a locksmith.
Find out what the problem is if you find yourself locked out. Are your keys in the car still? If so, you will require a different set of services than you would if your keys had been stolen. The one means you just need to get in, the other means you will need to have the lock rekeyed, replaced or more. This means informing the locksmith of your full circumstances.
Check the credentials before you let him entry to your home. You can check out their business address with their given phone number. With the World Wide Web at your fingertips, it has become increasingly easy to look someone up and make sure that they are trustworthy, so don't skip this step!
Don't think that you'll get charged what you got quoted on the phone when the locksmith appears at your home. It can be tough to provide price quotes sight unseen. If they quote a new price wildly different than the original, however, you may want to call someone else.
Be sure to check the identification for any locksmith you are thinking of hiring. A good locksmith will be in uniform and have ID ready to show his credentials before beginning to work on your lock.
Ask a locksmith about worst-case scenarios, as well as what is more likely to happen, when you get a quote. A locksmith that knows what they're doing knows that a problem can occur for you that you need to pay extra for, and that's why you should get yourself a quote that covers all of the problems you may have.
Find out how long the locksmith has. If it's been a long time, they are probably reliable. You should always be careful about hiring locksmiths lacking much experience as this could indicate that they may not be trustworthy, but do know that not having many years of experience is a caution flag.
If an ad claims that the locksmith will beat any price, give them a call and ask what the terms of that promise are. As an example, you might need a written estimate in hand, which means you will have to speak with another locksmith to obtain the necessary quote.
Don't hire locksmiths when you only consider one. You should call three or more quotes before making a hiring decision. This will give you a better idea of the average charge is.
Research locksmiths beforehand so you're prepared if you ever have an emergency. When you are struck with an emergency situation, you will make rash decisions without preparation. Instead you should get a good quality locksmith you can call so you have their number on hand.
Beware locksmiths who say they must drill out your entire lock or replace it when you are locked out.
Think about using locksmiths for a variety of things. Often, a good locksmith can put a hidden safe in your home and show you areas where your security system is weak. They can make both homes and businesses safe.
A locksmith won't charge you for showing up. This is not something most locksmiths will do, so it is an indicator of a bad apple. If you end up asking them to leave, and won't go unless you pay them, call the police.
Ask if there are additional costs when asking for a locksmith. Does that price include tax? Are any kind of discounts? Do they charge extra for late night calls or if you live outside of a certain radius. Figure out the total will be before you agree to anything.
Do not forget that you are providing access to your home.If you don't feel like they're trustworthy, use someone else. You should always arrange the first meeting at their business before letting them access to your home.
If there's a complaint against some services, tell them your problem immediately. If you don't, you might exceed the deadline where the company lets you make changes. If the answer you receive from the company is not satisfactory, speak to a consumer protection agency in your area.
Talk to your police to see if any locksmith company you're considering has complaints against them. You will be able to quickly ascertain if the complaints that are on file. Do not hire a locksmith who has had numerous complaints.
Keys and locks mean a lot more to people than they realize at times. Many of us don't realize how important locksmiths are. Use the information you learned here to make sure you are well prepared in any type of situation, with the best locksmith on your side.

Spoke with Seema. She said she would leave messages with the business but she would never receive a return phone call. The business never fixed the fog light and the rain drain was clogged when the vehicle was returned to her. She is not sure if the estimator put the fog light on the initial report or not. Seema said she would not recommend the business for reasons previously stated.

Rory McIlroy closed with five straight birdies to overtake Justin Rose and win the Dubai World Championship on Sunday, ending a year in which the 23-year-old won the PGA Championship and the European and PGA tour money titles.
McIlroy recovered from early putting woes to shoot a 6-under 66 for a 23-under 265 at the season-ending European Tour event in the United Arab Emirates. Rose closed with a 62 for a 267 total.
"I wanted to come here and finish in style," top-ranked McIlroy said.
The win, worth $1,354,000, put his European Tour total at a record $7.16 million. He won $8,045,000 on the PGA Tour.
Luke Donald (71) and Charl Schwartzel (68) shared third at 270.
Motor sports
Sebastian Vettel won his third straight Formula One title, overcoming an early crash to finish sixth in a Brazilian Grand Prix won by McLaren's Jenson Button under pouring rain in Sao Paulo. "It's difficult to find the right words," said Vettel, who at 25 became the youngest three-time champion in F1. "I'm still full of adrenaline."
Vettel was bumped shortly after the first lap and spun. He fell to last place before he could turn his Red Bull car around. But he steadily worked his way up the field and did what he had to — holding off Fernando Alonso, the only other driver contending for the title, in the 71-lap race. Ferrari's Alonso was second at the 2.68-mile Interlagos.
Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher was seventh in his final race. He's retiring for the second time after struggling in his return with Mercedes.
Los Angeles' Landon Donovan is hinting that Saturday's MLS Cup final against Houston could be the last match of his career. "I'm going to take as much time as I need and decide if and when I'm ready to come back," he said. It'll be David Beckham's last competitive match in a Galaxy uniform.
Winter sports
Kathrin Zettel held off Austrian teammate Marlies Schild to win a World Cup slalom in Aspen, Colo. Zettel finished two runs in 1 minute, 42.46 seconds to edge Schild by 0.67 seconds. American Lindsey Vonn skipped the race as she recovers from an intestinal illness. Mikaela Shiffrin (1:45.52) was the top American at seventh.
Track and field
Usain Bolt won the IAAF World Athlete of the Year award for the fourth time after successfully defending his 100- and 200-meter gold medals at the London Olympics. American Allyson Felix won the women's award. She captured the 200 in London.

How to start your own Munch
by Count Boogie and Perverted Podcast
Not every city, town or village is lucky enough to have an open BDSM/Kink play facility with
regular play parties and classes.
At least not yet.
So until that time we must do what we can to help create a place that kinky people can meet, get educated and hopefully find someone to consensually connect and play with.
The first step in building a community where there is none is to host a munch.
What hell is a munch?
Simply put, a munch is sharing a meal, tea or desert at a specific place with a group of kinky people.
Usually held at a restaurant, coffee house or pub.
A munch is casual atmosphere and meant for someone to get to know like minded people in a non threatening environment.
People who are new to the kink lifestyle feel much safer going to a public munch before wandering into a strangers home or a dungeon for a BDSM play party.
Conversations at a munch can be about the lifestyle, kink and BDSM related topics, but they are also filled with jokes,
movies, music and other light hearted topics.
The intention is getting to know people away from the pressure to play or
defend yourself from unwanted sexual advances.
There is no play and no sexually acting out at a munch.
That's why it's called a munch and not a play party...:)
We have seen and heard countless positive stories about people discovering the BDSM lifestyle by starting at a munch.
It is so important for kinky people just to be able to talk to other kinky people without being judged, or shamed for being who they are.
Even if your just talking about movies or stupid stuff, it is still wonderful to know you are
talking to someone who gets you.
The best part is that starting a munch is it's actually pretty easy, and other than the money you spend to buy yourself food and a little gas, it doesn't really cost anything.
So now it's up to YOU.
You can be the person that just says " Fuck it...I can do this!"
Let's start a munch! Don't wait for someone else to do it...they won't. Live the dream and
face your fears to touch the sky.
We'll show you how!
The worst that can happen is it doesn't work.
The best that can happen is you change lives including your own with positive relationships with kinky people.
This is our point of view based on our experience and the experience of many others that have ran or
currently run munches around the world.
It is not law or the only way to have a munch.
Hopefully our opinions will inspire you to have a great munch and give people in your local area a chance
to connect and communicate with like minded people.
NOTE: We are going to write this information with the point of view that you are starting a munch that
has a goal of helping people who are curious about or new to the lifestyle as well as those that have
been in the lifestyle for years.
A lot of this is going to be how to avoid problems that have all come up during actual munches, so it's not all gloom
and doom but we want you to be aware of what you are getting into so you can not be caught off guard and have a plan
of action.
What you need.
* A host
The host organizes and runs either alone or with a team of people that can attend a monthly munch.
A host is someone who can hold a conversation and be interested in other people's lives.
A host has the comfort, safety and enjoyment of people who attend the munch as his/her priority.
* A date and time
Pick a monthly date that works for the leaders of the munch:
This works best if it's a certain day on a certain every month e.g. " Every 3rd Wednesday" or "Every 4th Sunday"
That way people will always be able to figure out when your munch is as opposed to a changing number.
Side note:
If you are going to have a munch prior to a play party or private play party that is great to do on weekends where people have more time.
Also many groups demand that you go to a munch prior to being invited to someone's house/party
Some even make it a certain number of munches you have to attend before being allowed to the party.
This gives you time to get to know someone and see if they are going to be a respectful party goer ,
or overly creepy or awkward.
For example: Munch at 4pm-6pm and play party at 7pm-1am the 2nd Saturday of every month.
* A place
A restaurant, coffee or tea house, pub, pool hall or any public place with seating and a low level of noise that you can converse without yelling at each other.
Do not pick a family style or kid friendly eatery to have a munch.
Your guests are going to be talking about sex and kink, some louder than others.
People will hear things they say and if they have kids they will absolutely complain about it
the management of the eatery or venue.
Try places that have a separate back room away from the main public areas, or a pub / bar where kids are not allowed.
DO NOT have a munch in an unsafe area.
No matter how awesome the place is, if it's in a bad neighborhood, many people will not show up.
Make sure that the venue has well lit public parking close to the venue and be ready
to walk people to their cars if it doesn't.
Reality check:
If you live really far from where other people live, it may be you who needs to drive a ways to have a munch in a place
where people will go to.
Driving an hour to your own munch once a month is not too bad if it helps build a great munch.
If you have a couple people near you, maybe you can carpool.
I know a number of people who are willing and do drive an hour to get to their munch.
Of course I'm in Los Angeles, where driving a city block can take hour...lol
More than an hour and most will start to lose interest.
* Patience, determination and optimism.
It may take a while to get people to this munch.
Have a plan, bring a book, a deck of cards, a good game on your cell phone etc. in case people don't show up.
Usually if no one shows up for six months...then you know...it's not going to work.
But you have to know, it's going to take some work, so roll up your sleeves and get to it.
Now that you got your host, place and date, lets get into the munch!
Relationship with the venue
Do your best to build a good reputation at the place you are having the munch.
Be kind and courteous to your servers, make sure that you tell your guests to tip.
Always make sure you if you have the munch at a restaurant that it's a place that will allow
you to have separate checks for all individuals in your party, otherwise you will deal with the monthly
nightmare of math, guests that don't tip, guests that don't leave enough money to cover their bill or
get up and "forget" to pay at all and now YOU are stuck with that.
Nope...no way...been there done that...never again...separate checks for everyone.
Separate checks means that you can still maintain a good relationship with the servers and staff, even if
one of your guests fucks up.
There is no need to tell the managers of the restaurant what type of group you are, they will likely find out over time.
Your job is to make sure that your group does not make bad business for them.
Dress code
Always casual at a public place.
Many of the people going to the munch will not be 24/7 lifestyles, so to walk into a public
place and hang out with a bunch of people wearing leather and fetish type clothing would drive them away
for fear of being "outed" by association.
The risk to their confidentiality is actually worse at a munch than a play party, because the play party
is behind closed doors, where as a public place is out in the open and vulnerable.
What if their boss, co-worker or mother walks into the restaurant?
You want everyone around them to look like everyday normal people.
Depending on the venue you use for the munch, many of those places would prefer if you
dressed casual as well.
Please make sure that you include your dress code rules into all of your publicity and promotion ads,
groups or postings.
Anyone who gets defensive about not being able to wear their BDSM gear to a public munch, does not really
understand what is at stake for people who have something to lose by being outed and thus, might not be the best person to have at the munch.
IF don't want a munch that caters to new people or people who don't want to be outed,
then just disclose in your promotion that their might be people at the
munch wearing BDSM attire so they can be risk aware before showing up.
Let your guests know that they are not obligated to use their real names or give ANY personal information
to ANYBODY including you.
They should have the right to do whatever they have to, to be comfortable attending the munch.
Also you can empower your new guests that it's ok not to answer questions about their, work school, sex life,
where they hang out etc.
If they don't want to. It is not considered rude, we understand.
Make sure that nobody takes pictures of other people at the munch without asking permission of everybody
in the picture or near the picture.
Angry ranting people SUCK at a munch
A poison to any group is the angry debater who loves to raise their voice and argue with people
about politics, religion and whatever is up their ass that day.
Oh, they are fun online where you can turn them off when you need to but
they are toxic to a group.
Especially with new people present.
If you have someone at the munch who does this often...get them to stop or leave.
People can yell and scream at each other at work or at home all day, but they
come to a munch or play party to explore their kink, have fun and experience positive
Why they are angry and butthurt is another whole story, but all you need to know is that these types
of haters don't change quickly.
After you warn them once, if they continue, get them away from the group.
That being said...this next point might start a debate. *sigh* It's not a perfect world. lol
Listen for bad advice to new people and intervene
Example conversation
New person:
"Does a submissive have to submit to everyone?"
Douchebag pretending to be experienced in BDSM:
"Yes...a true submissive obeys any person who calls themselves Dominant and should be
of service to any Dominant that asks...otherwise you are not a real submissive"
You to New person:
"Ummmmm...actually that's not really true. You only submit to who you CHOOSE to submit to.
Your submission has value and should be inspired by a Dominant because of their personality, intent and way they build
up and care for their submissive. Not just because they bought a leather vest and say they are Dominant"
If you hear someone telling someone you know to be new to the lifestyle something blatantly wrong,
unsafe or coercion based then speak up and disagree with the person giving bad advice.
Bad advice gets people hurt and or, makes them think they made a mistake by trying the BDSM lifestyle.
Just disagreeing with someone in a conversation shows the new person that their are different points of view
in the group which will inspire their critical thinking on the topic.
If no one says anything, then the new person might likely think that is what the whole group thinks.
You can't control everything everyone says at the munch, but if you here lame advice...speak up!
Kicking out problem people
Most of your guests will be respectful and great fun to be around.
On occasion you will have that one that is all about themselves or socially awkward.
They suck the life out of the room very quickly and you have to act quickly and decide
if the can remain part of your group.
Sometimes they can be pulled aside and educated and everything will be fine.
Sometimes...you gotta get them out of your group.
If they are consistently making the people at the munch uncomfortable by their actions
or creepy behavior...it's either they go, or the other people at the munch will go.
The good news is you are in a public place that has a staff and management.
If you have someone that needs to be kicked out, you can ask them to leave, and if they
won't you can go to the management of the place and ask them to help you.
Social media groups both kink and non-kink.
Meet up type group sites that let you form your own group to promote your munch.
Word of mouth
Create a post that talks about the munch you want to have and clearly states all the rules of your munch
in the hopes that they will read and understand.
NOTE: Not a bad idea to keep a copy of the post you made so if anyone argues with your rules you can
show them that you were upfront about your expectations of their behavior.
The quick list of rules for your munch to send out
Elaborate as much as you feel you need to.
* Dress Casual
* No play, spanking demos, rope ties etc.
* When talking about sex or play, keep your voices down
* No arguing or aggressive debates
* Pay your bill and remember to tip so we can keep our place
* Be respectful.
* If someone doesn't want to talk to you they don't have to.
* No play or sex in the establishment parking lot
* Have fun
* Don't be a douche wad
Build a group email blast
Once some one gives you their email they feel comfortable with, you can put them on a monthly announcement.
Do not abuse someone's email by sending too many group emails.
Once a month is great.
Follow up
Contact people individually or have someone on your team do it, to check in with those who have attended the munch.
ok...there...now you know the ins and outs of a munch.
If you have any questions or comments please contact us and we will do our best to help.
We will be constantly updating this guide as more good information comes to light.

Katarina Build
Starting items
Early game
Late game
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to my first guide about my very favourite champion: Sexy, but dangerous sinister blade Katarina.
If you play her, you will show your enemies the real hell... On a mid lane, when you gang or in teamfights! She is still one of the most overpowered heroes in the league and just for 3150 IP? You would be fool, if you didn't give her a chance.
Her role : AP carry
Assasin - she can pretty quickly kill enemy carries
Melle - her basic attack has no range
Mage - her spells deals mainly magic damage
(Only Sinister Steel and Death Lotus deal also physical damage. Mixed items like Hextech Gunblade and Guinsoo's Rageblade will give you bonus to both.)
Pros and Cons
+ + +
Easy to learn
No mana!
Very usefull passive
Multi-target ultimate
High mobility
No skillshots
Great farmer
Amazing ganger
- - -
Hard to master
Extremly squishy
1st targeted in teamfights
Her ultimate can be interrupted by a stun/kick/silence/taunt
Melee range on mid
Skills, skill sequence and skill combo
Every time you get a kill or assist, your basic spells are instantly refreshed, and your ultimate's cooldown is reduced by 10 seconds. It allows her to towerdive with Shunpo jump on a low-health target and after the kill she can use it to get back! Her other spells hit more targets, so it is very easy for her to get assists. And not much difficult to get kills ;)
Bouncing Blades
You throw a dagger which hits 4 enemies, the damage is reduced with each target. It marks your targets and another spell deals bonus magic damage. This ability is good for harass the enemy mage. The dagger will get to him because of bouncing through the minions, so you can low his health without hurting yourself by his spells - you are out of his range! By the time, when he is half wounded, you mark him again, jump on him and finish him off! It is also great for farming plus sinister steel. You are on mid lane, so you are not far away from jungle → wolves and ghosts are dead with this combo in 2-3 seconds. If your enemy pushes during your absence, give signal to your jungler and get him down together.
Sinister steel
sinister steel
You turn around with daggers in your hands and damage all enemies in the circle. You deal both magical and physical damage and it has a low cooldown - that is the reason why you should max this ability first!
You jump on an enemy target and you are protected by incoming damage a little. It is amazing for gangs or chasing. If you have Flash too, noone escapes! This ability can be used on you own minion or allied hero, when you are getting away. It deals no damage in this case, of course :D Bad thing is, that it has bigger cooldown than other your spells, so use it wisely. If you jump on the enemy, he won´t be alone and your Flash won´t be ready, it is possible that you won´t survive that...
Death lotus
You spin in circle, shooting out blades dealing like 2/3 magical and 1/3 physical damage. This ability now also applies grievous wounds, which reduces incoming healing by 50% for 3 seconds. Great against enemy tanks like Dr. Mundo, Volibear, Singed etc. But it has also some disables... Range is only 10, so enemies can easily flash or jump from it and then come back. And if you get stunned, taunted, silenced or kicked, the ultimate is over :( Best timing is when your tanks iniciate the fight and enemy use their disables on them, then you can safely jump in and spin around. If you apply your Bouncing Blades first, it deals to marked targets more damage for each dagger. The number of daggers you throw in you ultimate is 30! So that is a big reason to cast Bouncing Blades before you spin.
Combo 1v1
Bouncing Blades → Shunpo → sinister steel → Death Lotus → sinister steel → Ignite when enemy tries to run, you just stay typing /laugh to chat and watching him slowly, but surely dying ;) If he has got Heal, Barrier or Cleanse and he survive, you can chase him and towerdive with Shunpo / Flash. Or you can just throw the final Bouncing Blades.
Teamfight combo
Wait for your tank(s) to iniciate the fight and let enemies waste their ultimates and disables on them. Your AD carry such as Graves/ Miss Fortune Caitlyn/ Ezreal are attacking them from the safe distance. Now it is your turn... Don't ever go first! You would be eaten alive. Bouncing Blades → Shunpo to their AD or AP carry → sinister steel → Death Lotus and do the ****ing PENTAKILL! :D Someone may ask: ,,How is it possible to do a pentakil with you ultimate, if it deals damage only to three targets?" Well, when you kill three of them, your cooldown on your ultimate will be refreshed! Dont't forget to your passive Voracity! You can spin again and finish those two who left ;)
Summoner spells
It is great to escape or chase, when your Shunpo is not ready. It has helped me to kill and to survive many times.
I love this spell, because it deals damage and slows healing. It is great to finish someone when your cooldowns are not ready and you basic attack is not engouh.
Can be used:
If you are standing against AD carry this can be lifesaving, because it reduces enemy's damage dealt and slows movement speed.
Can be used:
It helps you to chase or escape by incrasing your movement speed, but i prefer flash, which allows you to teleport through the walls. I think, you will be fine without ghost, because you have pretty high mobility.
Great when you enemy has a hard CC.
You can bluff your enemy, who thinks you have low health. You wait for him to come close to you, heal yourself and kill him. Also you can cast it in teamfight and save your allied...
A role of jungler doesn't fit you. Your place is on mid lane. You can go sometimes jungle or gank, but you don't need it.
You have no mana!
For masters:
Amazing spell, when you have some skill and use it in the right time - before you ultimate! It impowers your champion, increasing Ability power and it will make your dagger much more deadly :P
I won't mention the other spells, because it is meaningless...
With 21 points in Offense you incrase you ability power, magic penetration and you have lower cooldowns. With 9 points in Defence you have extra health, some magic resist and armor (I prefer
, because on a mid lane you usually face another mage). And I go for 0 points in Utility... Yes, for Kat is usefull
, but unfortunatelly you don't have any points to spent yet...
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration
Greater Seal of Ability Power
Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
This is my favourite pick according to the fact, that I build Katarina rather offensive than defensive, because i know when to fight and when to fall back.
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration All of your abilities deal magic damage, so it is good to get through enemy's magic resistance. However, it can be replaced with Greater Mark of Ability Power.
Greater Seal of Ability Power You are mage, you need ability power, nothing more to say... And when you combine this stats with Greater Quintessence of Ability Power your early-game spells will be more powerful.
Another great choice is Greater Quintessence of Spell Vamp which gives you spell vamp. With this rune plus Hextech Revolver (and a quite high ability power) you can heal yourself almost to full.
Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction Everyone wants to have cooldowns reduced and you are not an exeption. With your mastery points in Sorcery you will be able to literally spam abilities. And the best part? You will never get OOM :) Another posilibilty is Greater Glyph of Magic Resist in order to protect yourself against enemy mage. This rune will go pretty well together with your mastery points in Resistance .
Early game
I always start with boots of speed and three health potions.
Boots are very important to chase your enemy, escape from ganks or dodge. Your health potions will keep you on line for a long time.
WARNING: Doran's stuff are not good choices... Doran's Ring is great for other mages, but you don't need mana. Doran's Shield would be fine if you go solo top and Doran's Blade is for AD carries. So never ever buy it.
Farm (but not push, do only last hits), harras the other mage with Bouncing Blades, if you have time - go jungle or gank. How to gank? Push your line a bit to get some time and go bot or top, but don't make it obvious to your enemy. Act like you are going to recall or jungle. And don't forget to give a signal to your allied and mark the target. When you get there, wait in the bush until the enemy steps into a caution or danger zone. You don't need to use an ultimate, you can rely on preponderance. It doesn't matter if you get a kill or assist, so don't argue about KS, just say GJ and go back to mid.
If you lowed during the harrasing your enemy's health on mid bellow 50%, jump on him and finish the job. Now try to push mid, but be carefull... Watch your map and chat, someone may call ss. If there is a chance, that you will be ganked, recall. Shop, because their mage have done the same and you don't want to be a stepp behind.
* You should have engouh money to buy Hextech Revolver. But don't try to finish the whole item Hextech Gunblade or Will of the Ancients first, save it for the late game.
* Sorcerer's Shoes should follow, because they give you magic penetration and they are the best boots for Katarina. However, if the other team has a lot of CC, take Mercury's Treads instead.
Mid game
All champions (both allied and enemy) are waiting on the mid lane in order to destroy the other-sided turret. What now? Noone wants to towerdive... You wish you had Blitzcrank in your team to grab :D
However, Kata is not useless here. With Bouncing Blades you can deal damage from the safe distance, so do it a couple times. They are prepared to die! Your tank goes first taking some damage from the turret while the rest is killing enemies. It has to be quick!
After you scored an ace, destroy the turret. You still have a few seconds before your enemies revive, so kill the dragon, steal their blue and red buff. Then recall and shop again.
Rabadon's Deathcap and Rylai's Crystal Scepter are a matter of course for every AP carry! Ability power + HP guaranteed.
Late game
Stay together as a team, move a lot through the lined and jungle, so enemies can't know where you are. Gank them, try to destroy their turrets and inhibitors. This is a list of possible items should purchase in the store before the final push all the way to their Nexus:
* Abyssal Mask gives you more ability power and magic resist. It also reduce MR of your enemies!
* Zhonya's Hourglass will give you ability power and protect you from their AD carry because of armor. It has amazin passive, too! You become invulnerable for 2 seconds!
* If you are making a hybrid AP/AD build, finish Hextech Gunblade and buy also Guinsoo's Rageblade
* But... You can from your Hextech Revolver make Will of the Ancients which gives you more AP than Hextech Gunblade and due to its aura it gives AP and spell vamp to all your nearby allied!
* Does your enemy have a big magic resist? Void Staff is a solution. If enemy has some MR, but it is not so serious problem, buy just Haunting Guise if you already don't have Sorcerer's Shoes
* Mejai's Soulstealer Are you getting kills quickly and barely die? MUST HAVE!
* Deathfire Grasp When it is activated, it deals bonus magic damage equal to their health and your ability power.
Unfortunately, you have to forget this cool items: Lich Bane, Rod of Ages, Archangel's Staff etc. However, there is one champion very similar to Kata, melee mage, but with mana. I recommend you Diana :)
My score
I enjoy playing Katarina very much, almost every time I pick her, we win. The only problem is my lagging PC so I have some deaths too, but when you have a good team it really does't matter :)
The end
Thank you for reading, I hope you understood my english.
Don't forget to comment and vote. HATERS GONNA HATE!

'Doctor Strange' TV Spot Turns Back Time
Posted on Wednesday, October 5th, 2016 by Angie Han
Doctor Strange promises to be Marvel's trippiest movie ever, and a new promo leans further into its mind-bending weirdness. The latest Doctor Strange TV spot runs in reverse, so that we're traveling back through time to the start of Strange's journey. Sprinkled throughout the video are odd, nonsensical bits of dialogue that only reveal themselves when you play it backwards.
The time-traveling nature of the Doctor Strange TV spot seems to add further credence to the theory that the Eye of Agamotto is the Time Stone, the fifth of sixth gems that Thanos needs to complete his Infinity Gauntlet. Watch the Doctor Strange spot below. Read More »

Pr. George's schools say last year's problems with class schedules are over
Thursday, August 19, 2010; 4:03 PM
Prince George's County school officials say they are on track for the first day back to class next week, and that there will not be a repetition of last year's problems, which kept thousands of high school students waiting for days with no class schedules.
Parents have been able to access their children's schedules online since Monday, and there have been scattered complaints that some schedules are missing classes, or that there are classes on the schedules that they didn't expect to see. But Prince George's School Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. said Thursday that those issues are probably the result of ordinary scheduling conflicts and not computer glitches.
"These are not an inability to produce a child's schedule, and that is different from where we were a year ago, when 8,000 kids did not have a schedule," Hite said. "This is really an issue of trying to resolve selection and choices for students."
The Prince George's school official in charge of high schools, Monica Goldson, said that as of Thursday afternoon, 97 percent of students had schedules, and that the remainder were newly enrolled in the system or had transferred schools since an early August cutoff date. Students who signed up for conflicting classes will have to fix schedules once they are back at school, she said.
The Prince George's Gazette reported Thursday that a number of parents at Charles H. Flowers High School in Springdale had discovered incorrect class schedules when they logged in to the school system's online portal this week.
Hite said he expected scheduling conflicts to be more likely at large high schools such as Flowers, Oxon Hill and Eleanor Roosevelt, where there are specialty programs and many classes that have low enrollments and are taught only once a day.
"Quite frankly, in some cases, students will need to make choices," he said.
Last year, many Prince George's high school students returned to class only to discover either that they had no schedules, or that their schedules were radically different from the ones for which they had signed up, the result of glitches in the SchoolMax software used to track student information.
Many students waited for days in cafeterias and auditoriums as administrators struggled to get them into classes. The school system ultimately decided to repair and retain the software.

David Skoblar is my nephew so that you may think that this review is biased. I am an attorney and occasionally offer advice to Dave as he fights to establish this charity. I have seen him selflessly dedicate himself to this project over several years. I can proudly say that he is done a lot of good for a lot of people-both the victims of disasters as well as the charity's volunteers. This was never more evident than during the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy. David is a bear of a man. Soon after the storm a "kindhearted" landlord told him he had to vacate the premises immediately. This entailed moving thousands of pieces of donated furniture, appliances, construction materials-you name it. Not only did David collect all the stuff for the needy, he now had to move it at the worst time. My nephew spent countless hours doing so much of the work single-handedly. I was never more proud of him. Anyone who participates with this charity should be glad to have someone like David in charge.
Sincerely, Robert A. Skoblar, ESQ

Tsauchab River Camp Naukluft view Reviews
46 reviews
private beatiful place Sep 14, 2009
Our next stop was the Tsauchab River Camp. This place was about 95 km drive from Sesriem. At the reception we were given the choice between a few photo's of different campsites, all of them a few km drive away from the main reception building. We chose Naukluft View about 9 Km from the main place. We bought a bottle of wine and some fire wood at the small shop and drove to Naukluft View witch had 4 secluded sites. At our camp site we met Jan. He took really great care of us! He gave us a key for our own private facilities (a toilet, washbasin and shower just for us!). That was a pleasant surprise. The campsite was very private and had its own fire place, a water point and a wash-up basin. Jan lighted candles from the campsite to our little facility building when the sun went down. That was really magical!
If you are looking for somewhere to camp in this area we would highly recommend this place!!

I bought my girlfriend a day at her favorite Raleigh Spa
So… I bought my girlfriend a day at her favorite Raleigh Spa for her birthday, and then I realized that I bought her that same gift for her birthday last year so she is super upset with me. I can't believe I made that mistake, I thought that I had thought of a great idea, but it turns out of tonight dear that I had before. Now I remember that last time I had the idea, when I bought her the gift last year, she really really liked it, which is probably why it was so convinced that it was a good gift idea. Unfortunately, she is now very upset with me. I suppose if I would have asked her "hey,
did you like that gift you got last year, and would you like to get it again?" it would not have been a very big deal, unfortunately since I didn't ask her anything like that, it became quite clear that I forgot that I had bought it for her in the past, and she felt very upset about this… I think I can understand why, but still I kind of can't, but I guess that is how men and women are pretty different. I wish I would have been wise in the moment and pretended like it was some kind of plan, but for a while I actually argued that I had bought her that gift for her birthday last year, and I had talked about how last year I bought her this kit she needed for a course she was taking, and wish you remind me that was her birthday 2 years ago, so she was even more upset because it was clear that I forgot her birthday last year, too, and that I was not being very diligent in my memorization of her birthdays. So, she's pretty upset with me, I have dealt with this in the past but somehow it seems like every time the solution Escapes Me, Or maybe it is just new every single time. Well, what can you do, except for do your best and try and work it out.

As I'm sure I've mentioned here before, although I grew up in Sonoma County and still live here, I don't lead a very "Wine Country"-oriented lifestyle. I guess it's there in subtle ways (I mean, it's hard to escape the gorgeous weather, countryside, laid-back folks and delicious restaurants), but I'm not a huge wine person and haven't gotten into that oenophilic culture too much.
Don't get me wrong – I love a great glass of wine, but I'm pretty simple in my tastes. I like sweet and dry, white and red (and rose!), old and young, etc. As long as it doesn't make my tongue curl up and want to die from sulfites, I like a small glass every now and again. But you know how people who grow up in Manhattan often have never been to the Empire State Building? I think my lack of wine country snobber is one of those kinds of things.
All that said, I do get to explore all kinds of beautiful places when I shoot portraits and weddings, and am more than familiar with lots of the North Bay and Bay Area's parks and beaches, and so on. I have a loooong list of places to go and places to eat, and place to shoot for sure! But it's easy to fall into the trap of feeling like I need to travel to SF or Berkeley/ Oakland for beauty and culture, which is ironic, considering how many folks travel to my 'hood every day for those same things, in a less urban form.
So I've been making a concerted effort to connect more with people up here, venues all around wine country, and to familiarize myself with the hospitality industry and, well, fun things to do where I live. The Bohemian, our local weekly independent, just ran their "Resident Tourists" issue, and I thought, yeah, precisely! We don't have to go far for these things; but just as it's a strange feeling to vacation in your backyard, I sometimes forget to open my eyes to our local world-class wineries, restaurants, hotels, hikes, beaches, parks… I could go on and on.
When I was younger, I would assist my father on his service calls to wineries and farms around the North Bay (he sells and repairs the huge pumps and generators needed to irrigate the grapes and crops). I got to explore some of the most beautiful wineries and nooks and crannies of Sonoma and Napa counties, without even knowing what I was seeing. I remember loafing around by a pond on someone's private estate somewhere out there, reading and relaxing in the 100 degree weather; playing on a hill in the midst of acres of grapes with no one around anywhere; things which I took for granted them.
But no longer! I'm starting to explore these places from their "proper" entrances – big, gorgeous wine tasting rooms, restaurants, B&Bs, hotels, banquet halls, etc. I get to see spots that I wouldn't've known about if I wasn't shooting so many weddings, and I get to photograph beautiful, happy folks in these beautiful, peaceful places. It's a hard job, but so it goes 🙂
Okay, I'm getting too wordy. Jessamyn's Wine Country Education, to be continued (both on the blog and in life)!

Since the park was not open yet, we all just hung out by the Dinosaur ride & was one of the first ones to ride it that day! Now in December we will be eating again at Donald's breakfast. We have an 8:00 PS. I am hoping to be finished again by 8:45. But this time we are thinking of heading up to the Safari ride after we are done. Is it possible to head up to the Safari ride & hang out there until the park is open? Or do they have some areas roped off? How near can you get to the Safari area before the park is officially opened?

Ms. Do Thi Cuc has more stable income since she worked at the cooperative. Although she had a secure job at a State-owned enterprise, in 2009 Tran Thu Hang decided to change her career direction by setting up a company specializing in clean food. At first, the company sold rice boxes to a garment company in Hoang Mai district. Then Hang expanded her business and sold clean food directly to consumers. She said: "The company managed every step from planting, harvest to sales. We paid the farmers and encouraged them to grow clean agricultural products". To gain a foothold in the market, the Vietnam Agricultural and Food Product Import/ Export Joint Stock Company set up a raw materials processing area to assure clear origin of the products. The company established plantations and cooperatives to grow and provide vegetables. Do Thi Cuc of Vinh Phuc province works on a farm growing clean vegetables: "I used to grow vegetables on my farm and had a lot of difficulty selling my produce. My regular customers were neighbors. My income was unstable. Since I joined the company's model, my life has been much better and my income more stable". Hang worked with a vocational training center run by the Hanoi Women's Union to help kitchen workers at companies and schools improve the quality of meals. Her company cooperated with the Vinh Anh Food Company to build a facility in Hanoi's Thuong Tin district to produce and deliver vegetable dumplings and cakes to supermarkets, schools, and food shops in Hanoi and its outskirts. Hang's Company has set up links between growers, processors, and distributors. She always demands that her suppliers guarantee safe products at reasonable prices: "We will continue this model and plan to expand it to canteens at industrial parks. We hope to provide safe, clean food at reasonable prices to more consumers. The model of clean food not only helps farmers escape poverty but also provides safe food to consumers". A cooperative providing clean vegetables of the Vietnam Agricultural and Food Product Import/ Export Joint Stock Company. For 10 years, the Vietnam Agricultural and Food Product Import/ Export Joint Stock Company has worked with cooperatives and partners to provide clean food to 20 schools in Hoang Mai district – approximately 20,000 servings per day.

Christmas time is a period of love and compassion, and at Keepoint we are proud to support the Shoebox Full of Love Homeless Appeal this Christmas.
Running into its 3rd year, the Shoebox Full of Love is a Liverpool based appeal that looks to help the homeless, as well as vulnerable women, men and children in the run up to the Christmas period. The idea is for shoeboxes to be donated, filled with helpful clothing, blankets, sleeping bags, toys, toiletries, travel tickets, books, non-perishable goods, and other things that you deem suitable.
Donations are asked to be labelled clearly for the gender and age they have been packed for, and left unsealed so as to prove quicker and easier to check for safety before being passed on for use.
The Shoebox Full of Love began in 2014 and soon grew into a sizeable appeal after becoming popular through Social Media. Last year the appeal reached over 5000 people, doubling in size from year one and it looks like it'll be even bigger in 2016!
There are a number of charitable services that will be helped directly by the Shoebox Appeal, including Whitechapel Centre, The Basement, YMCA Liverpool, YMCA St Helens, YMCA Birkenhead, The First Step Centre, Zoe's Place, Amadudu, CRI, James Bulger Foundation, MALS, Wirral Womens and Childrens Aid, University of Liverpools Help the Homeless Society, Alt Bank House, Wirral Ark, Fourth Dimension and more!
To do our bit to support such a great cause, we have designed their website and will be hosting it for them. We will also be acting as one of the drop off points for your Shoebox donations at our Liverpool city centre offices.
As a team we have also decided to forego our usual Secret Santa within the office, and instead are committed to each member of our staff making up their own shoebox to add to the campaign.
If you'd like to volunteer or help in anyway, you can find further info by visiting Shoebox Full of Love.

A bronze-colored fiberglass shoe sculpture erected in front of a children's orphanage in Saddam Hussein's home town of Tikrit, Iraq has been dismantled and thrown out a day after it was erected. The Salaheddin Provincial Joint Coordination Center ordered its removal.
Salaheddin Deputy Governor Abdullah Jabara told CNN, "We will not allow anyone to use the government facilities and buildings for political motives."
The sculpture, which was about 12-feet high, was erected to commemorate the insulting action taken by an Iraqi journalist. During a press conference last December, the reporter took off his shoes and threw them at President George W. Bush, shouting, "This is from the widows, the orphans, and those who were killed in Iraq."
The orphans helped to build the sculpture. "Those orphans who helped the sculptor in building this monument were the victims of Bush's war," said Faten Abdulqader al-Naseri, the orphanage director. "The shoe monument is a gift to the next generation to remember the heroic action by the journalist."
Like the American Left, Mr. al-Naseri chose to use the term "Bush's war" to describe the United States Military's action to liberate 25,000,000 Iraqis from the despotic grip of a murderous thug. Now that the children have accomplished the work of erecting a monument to ingratitude, they can meditate on the gift of freedom that enabled them to express themselves in this way. They can also give thanks to "Bush's war" and the US military for the provincial elections being held in their country on January 31, 2009.

Bangladesh burst into celebrations with hundreds of revellers taking to the streets after their cricket team beat Australia in a one-day international, arguably the biggest upset ever in the history of the game.
Bangladesh are the lowest ranked nation in the International Cricket Council table and Australia are reigning world champions. At the start of their game in Cardiff on Saturday, one British bookmaker had Australia 500-1 ON to win.
Bangladesh won by five wickets.
"This is not just a win. This is when Bangladesh has conquered the world," chanted university student Kaushik Ahmed, celebrating on the streets of Dhaka.
"Let there be no mistake that Bangladesh can upset the world, especially when it comes to cricket," said 57-year-olfd Mozammel Huq, a businessman.
Morning newspapers cheered the victory.
"Tigers turn world upside down," wrote the Daily Star.
"Tigers trounce Aussies," said the News Today. "Brave Bangladesh bash Australia," was the headline in the Independent.
Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia was quick to congratulate the Bangladeshi players, saying she believed they would keep the winning spree going.
In reply to Australia's 249 for five in 50 overs, Mohammad Ashraful struck a run-a-ball century, only the second ever scored in one-dayers by a Bangladeshi, as his side reached 250 for five with four balls to spare.
Bangladesh, rated by one firm a 50-1 against chance to beat Australia, had not won against the world champions in six previous one-day meetings and had only beaten two of the leading test sides before, Pakistan and India, in 107 games.
Students of Dhaka University took out a victory parade in the campus on Saturday night while hundreds of city residents came out of their homes, waving the Bangladesh flag, chanting "bravo", dancing and singing.

LOS ANGELES -- Price boys' basketball coach Michael Lynch poked his head out the locker room door Tuesday night, peered down the hallway and, finally, cracked a smile that screamed relief.
After Price defeated visiting Windward, 76-62, for the third time this season, Lynch could finally exhale.
"It's incredibly tough to beat a team three times," Lynch said. "Windward coach [Miguel] Villegas is a really good coach and he's got a good team. We knew we were in for a war. Really, I wouldn't have scheduled them had I known what the divisions would be like."
Fourth-seeded Price (22-7) advanced to face top-seeded Gardena Serra in the CIF-Southern Section Division 4AA semifinals on Friday night, with the winner moving on to play the winner of Crespi-La Verne Lutheran in the title game at Anaheim Arena. The Knights had beaten Windward, 69-64, in the Santa Monica Tournament on Dec. 7 and again, 65-41, at the Fairfax State Preview Classic on Jan. 28.
But there was much at stake in the third meeting. Price's two prior victories would mean nothing without a third.
"Every time you play a team you want to pretend like it's your first time playing them," said Price senior forward Skylar Spencer, who had 14 points and five blocks.
Teammate Kahlil Johnson scored 15 of his game-high 23 points in the first half, and put an exclamation point on the game with back-to-back breakaway dunks in the final moments. He sank two 3-pointers late in the first half to pace the Knights to a 37-32 lead at intermission.
"Kahlil is a shooter," Lynch said. "He can really shoot the basketball. Once he gets on a roll and feels it, the ball is going down."
The third time wasn't the charm for the Windward Wildcats (20-9). They closed to within two late in the third quarter despite the absence of leading scorer Nick Stover, who was whistled for his fourth foul just two minutes into the second half.
"At halftime we talked about [Stover] having three fouls," Lynch said. "We said, 'Whoever he's guarding, we're going at him.' The referees were calling the game pretty straight up on both sides. We knew they'd blow the whistle if we really attacked him."
Stover, a Loyola Marymount signee, finished with only 13 points, well below his average of 22 per game. Guard Jordan Wilson had 14, and Luke Silverman-Lloyd and Charles Dawson each had 10 for the Wildcats.
"We knew the third time would be the hardest," Johnson said. "And it was."

|In preparation for Manufacturing Day 2015,
U.S. manufacturing facts and figures
by David R. Butcher, Marketing Communications, MasterControlIn recent years, a swing in public perception has led to widely held misconceptions of United States manufacturing – that modern manufacturing environments are dark, dangerous and antiquated factories designed for low-skilled workers.
On Manufacturing Day (MFG DAY) 2015, this Friday, manufacturers all across the U.S. will open their doors in a coordinated effort to correct this public perception by showcasing modern manufacturing as it really is today: technologically advanced, using sophisticated automation, robots and 3-D printing, and employed by highly trained professionals.
MFG DAY is an annual event that sees manufacturers across the nation host open houses, public factory tours, career workshops and other events. On the first Friday each October, manufacturers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico are joined by community and technical colleges that host similar events to showcase facilities and course offerings that lead to fulfilling, in-demand manufacturing careers. Last year, more than 1,675 MFG DAY events attracted nearly 400,000 participants.
The purpose of MFG DAY is to demonstrate to the public the potential of modern manufacturing and to foster interest in manufacturing careers.
This article is related to the Whitepaper: Understanding ISO 13485 - A Brief, Yet Comprehensive, Overview. To get the full details, please download your free copy.
American manufacturing consistently proves itself to be a vital part of the nation's economy. In the U.S., manufacturers produce $2.1 trillion of value each year, or 12.5 percent of U.S. GDP, and directly employ more than 12 million workers, or 8.8 percent of total U.S. employment. In fact, for every dollar spent on manufacturing, another $1.37 is added to the economy, the highest multiplier effect of any economic sector.
While a strong manufacturing industry is fundamental to the U.S. economy and job growth, manufacturing generally remains a less popular career choice than other industries.
A series of studies conducted over the past six years by The Manufacturing Institute (MI) and Deloitte consistently reveals that while Americans consider manufacturing one of the most important domestic industries for ensuring a strong national economy, they rank it low as a career choice for themselves. In addition, only 37 percent of respondents in the most recent MI-Deloitte study (2015) indicated they would encourage their children to pursue a manufacturing career.
However, the findings also indicate that industry familiarity increases positive perception. Those with high industry familiarity tend to have more favorable views toward manufacturing and are twice as likely to encourage their children to pursue a manufacturing career.
The key takeaway of the MI-Deloitte findings is that manufacturers must engage the public through community and educational programs to improve the perception of the U.S. manufacturing industry and create a supply of workers with competitive manufacturing skills – engineering, skilled trades and production.
Executed at the local level, MFG DAY gives individual manufacturers an opportunity to amplify their voice and deliver a coordinated message about modern manufacturing by opening their doors to show visitors what they do and how they do it. Through this collective effort, MFG DAY draws public attention to manufacturing's present-day reality and encourages job seekers to develop the skills they need to qualify for long-term careers in this important sector of the economy.
In observance of Manufacturing Day, explore a variety of interesting figures about the importance of U.S. manufacturing and its workforce in the infographic below.
MFG DAY is organized by the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association (FMA), the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the Manufacturing Institute (MI) and the National Institute of Standards & Technology's (NIST) Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP).

Metallica: The Black Album Trailer (2001)
The coolest way to hear The Black Album that you may not know about... surround sound re-mixed in 5.1 Audio and mastered especially for DVD-Audio and designed to kick major ass on your surround sound/home theatre system. This disc will ONLY play on your DVD player (it won't play on a compact disc player) and was released several years ago, but was not readily available. Now that home theatre equipment is more affordable and easier to find, we had the label press up some more for us and it's the best way that we know of at this point listen to this album!

New York is huge! It's enormous. There is so much to see there that you need a lifetime, and that probably won't be enough. I am putting both NY State and NY City together on this page. Here are but a few of the New York Daytrip Destinations that we have been on in the past few years.
I know most of our travels and daytrips are in New Jersey, but we do venture out to NY and PA quite often. I think they absolutely belong with NJ Travels!
Robert H. Treman State Park
June 2016
Ithaca, NY
This place is amazing. You really have to see it for yourself to understand just how beautiful it is. I would love to go back soon. Once you see it, you understand what "Ithaca Is Gorges" really means.
New York Renaissance Faire
August 2016
Tuxedo, NY
This year we finally made it to the New York Renaissance Faire. We went with a few friends, that know the place well, and had a great time!
Statue Of Liberty
October 2013
Liberty Island, NJ
This iconic landmark is a must. It's not just the destination, but the entire process itself that makes this trip special.
Empire State Building
August 2013
Manhattan, NY
Come with us on the visit to the Empire State Building! On our son's birthday we decided to make it up there. It was an expensive day, but once in a lifetime definitely worth it!
Museum of Natural History
September, 2012
We always have a good time when we head out to one of the great museums of NYC. This place has so much to see and do, one day might not be enough. That's why it always feels like new, every time we come there!
