Blast Monkeys Free
By Yobonja
This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.
★ Dowloaded over 11 million times across all versions! ★
"Blast Monkeys is a game you should play."
-Jeff Marchiafava , Game Informer
"This is one of the most entertaining puzzle games I've played in quite a while"
-Eric Pankoke, Technobrains (Highly Recommended)
Moki is a hungry monkey, and only one thing can fill his rumbling belly. BANANAS! Help Moki fly through fun and creative obstacles in search of a giant bunch of bananas. In order to make him really full, and to get the highest score possible, collect the three elusive individual bananas on each level.
Blast Monkeys Free is a free version of the full game Blast Monkeys powered by ads and MokiCoin. Meaning it's an alternative, not a demo.
Moki's path is not always going to be clear. Getting bananas is hard work. Sometimes you're going to have to use your wicked fast fingers to help Moki move through spinning platforms and more canons than you can shake a banana at. Make sure to avoid the pesky spikes as you make your way to banana bliss.

Great for my toddler, my teen, and me
Rarely have I found a game that my 3 year old and I take turns playing! I use this game to bribe him "as soon as you go potty on the big boy potty you can play the monkey game!" And let me tell you... We are nearing the no more diapers stage! At first it seems like it would be too hard for toddlers to get... Don't underestimate your little one. Give them the game and walk away. I found if I'm not there to do the hard parts he figures it out. He can time the cannon to hit the moving parts so the head bounces off and collects bananas just in time to bounce in a bubble and reach the goal after about ten tries. Yesterday he asked sissy (16 yrs old) to help him with a level and next thing you know she has cleared 12 levels and he is cheering her on while on her lap. And now writing this review because I've been playing while drinking my coffee and noticed I could get more "monkey coin" if I write a review so I can get my monkey a cute outfit and I am not one of those people who do this crap!! You do not have to write reviews to get monkey coin either... When you finish a level completely you get 15 "monkey coins" and I have hundreds .... I should say my kids have hundreds lol but doing things like writing a review or liking on Facebook gets you a ton. So in closing I have to say its addictive, fun for the whole family, and there are a ton of levels getting progressively harder as you go. We love it!
Cruel Critic
Cruel Critic is here and do I have a review for you! 👍
Awesome game actually, I have this app on my nook to. I got the game from animal zoo club on my nook and when I got this IPad mini, I thought, I wonder if they have animal zoo club on here. So they did. (That is another great game too BTW) and it said I should get blast monkeys! So I was like YES! And it has more levels then on the nook, so what a plus! And it has mini games! The only complaint is how the levels have different things to do than on the nook. Like level 23 was different than on the nook. Hope u liked my review and use it! P.S. I recommend that the second level you buy is the junkyard one. P.P.S. You have to BUY the other levels which is upsetting since on the nook the levels are FREE!
Fantastic Game... And Especially With The Toddlers
I am always searching for new apps to explore with my two toddlers and I am glad I found this app. It is lots of fun & simple but it makes the kids think and I like that. I love to watch their eyes light up when they figure out how to solve the board or find the bananas. Also, this game is great because it has many boards that gradually increase in complexity...or the kids can go back to old boards and figure out how to get all three bananas as an added challenge. Great app.

On entering the Riad you are amazed by the incredible decor. The ceilings and furniture in the public areas are lovely. The rooms themselves, whilst small, are nicely presented and opulent. If you manage to get a sea view room, the view is also spectacular, as this is one of the few Riads right on the ocean.
Pros:- Decor, Service and location
Cons:- My only minor issue was the stairwell lighting, which wasn't good and you need to take care
If you have heavy luggage, hire a man with a trolley as vehicles are not allowed within the old town walls and the streets are crowded and narrow.

We are excited to announce that MVBA's tree efforts has received a total of just under $25,800 in the past two years from several grant sources to support our tree planting effort. We are using these funds to create and support new tree pits and expand existing tree pits to help our trees thrive around Mt. Vernon. Look for the work to create and expand more tree pits to continue over the summer and into the fall of 2015.
But, as we continue to step up our tree effort, we are constantly seeking funding to purchase needed soil amendment ($5 per bag), mulch ($3 per bag), and tree gator bags ($20 per bag) to help our trees survive.

Coming Soon to a Library Near You is a weekly feature inspired by Jill at Breaking the Spine that looks at upcoming books.
This Week's Book: But I Love Him
Author: Amada Grace
Release Date: May 2011
Summary: Tonight was so much worse than anything before it. Tonight he didn't stop after the first slap. At the beginning of senior year, Ann was a smiling, straight - A student and track star with friends and a future. Then she met a haunted young man named Connor. Only she can heal his emotional scars; only he could make her feel so loved-and needed. Ann can't recall the pivotal moment it all changed, when she surrendered everything to be with him, but by graduation, her life has become a dangerous high wire act. Just one mistake could trigger Connor's rage, a senseless storm of cruel words and violence damaging everything-and everyone-in its path. This evocative slideshow of flashbacks reveals a heartbreaking story of love gone terribly wrong.
I'm sensing a theme here. Two weeks in a row I've had books about abusive relationships. I like this genre; I think it's important to have books that talk about this sort of thing, because abuse is not an 'adult' problem.

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.
Keeping this short
Don't expect a super in depth build here because it's 6am right now and I need sleep.
Hate it?
This build may seem a little tanky and you might not like the fact I skip the big jungle items but you should really give it a go! So much damage and so much health guaranteed
Reasons for the items
When I jungle I like to be constantly ganking whilst being able to burst down the jungle at the same time.
Brutaliser was a must have for a first item because of the damage it gives you for early ganks and buffs.
The reason I rush black cleaver is because I want to get a little bit of health so I have more sustain and a lot more damage for early game.
I get warmogs to start the tankiness. It makes it easy for me to gank a hard lane and leave with a kill without having the great risk of dying
Frozen mallet
A perfect item that needs to be built. The amount of hp and damage on this item make it awesome for vi. The passive makes it even better! with the slow no one will be able to get away from you!
Atmas impaler;
At this point in the build, as well as the armour, this item will give you around 65 AD.
Enough said.
Spirit visage;
Increased Health regen, life and magic resist. Awesome last item.
(optional last item)
Trinity force!
Tonnes of Damage.

Urgent Care Centre
Citizens with urgent health problems expect timely access to health care in the most appropriate setting by the most appropriate provider. Three family practices in the East Dartmouth community work together to provide patients of Cole Harbour Family Medicine Centre, Pleasant Street Medical Group, and Woodlawn Medical Clinic with same-day access to medical care on the weekends for urgent, non life-threatening health conditions that require prompt treatment.
The family physicians on duty at the Urgent Care Centre are able to provide better continuity of care than is typically provided at a walk-in clinic and give patients a better option for urgent health conditions that can be treated by a family physician rather than visiting an emergency department.
One of the objectives of the Urgent Care Centre is to reduce the number of patients presenting in the emergency department with health conditions that can be treated by a family physician. Results have shown a reduction in the number of Urgent Care Centre patients visiting an emergency department with less urgent / non urgent complaints, when compared to the previous year. With these positive results, Primary Health Care is looking at the possibility of forming more Urgent Care Centres within the Capital Health district.

"Worries about my baby in Intensive Care 2011"
About: St Thomas' Hospital (London) St Thomas' Hospital (London) London SE1 7EH
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
When my daughter was born she was taken to intensive care and the service I received was very poor. There was zero communication between myself and the doctors. There was no advice given to me on the medication that my daughter was receiving. When I asked questions to the doctors it was frowned upon and they were not helpful.
The service I have had from this hospital over many years has been excellent. However on this occasion it was bad.
Response from St Thomas' Hospital 3 years ago
We are very sorry to hear about the treatment you received while your daughter was in intensive care. Please contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) on 020 7188 8801 or email email@example.com so that we can investigate the matter further.

NOWHERE IN AFRICA [2001] movie review – recommended
April 27, 2014 · Print This Article
After spending time in a cypress wetlands along a river at midday, in the afternoon I was in the mood to see a movie set in Africa. Doing a little searching and getting frustrated as usual with Netflix streaming only having about 10% of titles I ever search for, I found NOWHERE IN AFRICA [2001] and was treated to a true hidden gem of a movie.
I need to go through the list of best foreign language film winners as all the ones I have seen recently have been amazing. NOWHERE IN AFRICA was the 2001 winner and is a movie that will stay with me for a long time. A Jewish family leaves Germany just before the Nazis solidify their grip on the country. First the father, Walter, gets a job in Kenya and then sends for his wife and young daughter. There are a few early scenes in Germany and Kenya that establish the characters, often in subtle ways. The character arcs for the mother, Jettel, and daughter, Regina, are especially grand recalling those initial scenes where Regina was scared of even small dogs, but took to life way out in the middle of nowhere in Africa from the moment she arrived. The transformation in Jettel was much slower, but very satisfying to see a character be given the screen time to go from not willing to unpack the good china since they would not be staying long, to embracing what life in Kenya could be.
The movie focuses on the mother, father and daughter almost exclusively, save for the loyal family cook, Owuor, who could easily be considered one of the most endearing characters in movie history. Playing on the subtlety of the directing, how Owuor becomes so beloved is not through grand things, but a series of simple things. Just how he greets little Regina when she first arrives sets the tone for his character. The bond between those two was one of the strongest I have ever seen in a movie, without any melodrama.
This is a German movie actually, with mostly German spoken, though everyone learns and speaks Swahili too. You see almost no wild animals at all, yet you never forget the movie is set out in the African plains. The stars of the movie are Africa itself and Regina. We see her played by one actress at a young age and then another as a teenager. How neither of those actresses went on to act in but one more movie is beyond me as both gave outstanding performances, especially the young actress.
I highly recommend NOWHERE IN AFRICA as a very fresh take on many movie genres and themes: WWII, Africa, Jewish refugees and also coming of age.

KENYAN security forces are in the final stages of flushing out Islamic extremist terrorists from a besieged shopping mall, the vice president says, two days after the upscale mall was seized by members of a Somali group linked to al-Qaida.
It is unlikely that any more hostages remained inside Westgate Mall, said another official.
But similar claims of a quick resolution were made by Kenyan officials on Sunday and the siege has continued for another day. It is not possible to independently verify their assertions.
The security forces are locked in a fierce, final battle with the Islamist gunmen inside the shopping centre with huge explosions and a barrage of heavy gunfire echoing out of the complex.
Three attackers had been killed in the fighting, officials said, and more than 10 suspects arrested. Eleven Kenyan soldiers were wounded in the running gun battles. By evening, Kenyan security officials were claiming the upper hand.
"Taken control of all the floors. We're not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them," Police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter.
A thick cloud of black smoke billowed out from the Westgate mall as Kenyan officials said the 50-hour-long siege - which has seen the gunmen massacre at least 62 people and take dozens more hostage - was close to being resolved.
"We think the operation will come to an end soon," Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku told reporters camped outside the vast part Israeli-owned complex, which was popular with wealthy Kenyans and expatriates.
"We are in control of all the floors, the terrorists are running and hiding in some stores... there is no room for escape," he said, adding that some hostages had been freed, but without giving specific numbers. Two gunmen were also killed in the fighting. Around 200 people have been wounded, officials said.
"Thumbs up to our multi-agency team, we have just managed to rescue some hostages," police chief David Kimaiyo said in a message on Twitter on the third day of the standoff.
"We're increasingly gaining advantage of the attackers."
The explosions sent smoke billowing from the shopping complex, and initially, reports suggested it was either an attempt by the Kenyan military to blow a hole through the roof of the mall, or the rebels inside had blown themselves up.
A Kenyan Minister told Reuters the smoke is from militants burning matresses.
The area around the mall was teeming with Kenyan soldiers and armoured personnel carriers, as emergency workers and reporters were told to take cover.
Ambulances were also seen accelerating towards the scene.
A Kenyan special forces officer told AFP troops had moved in to end the siege with force.
''I saw them only once, I could not see them much,'' he said.
''It was hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek. In the end we had to use full force, we had to finish with these guys.''
It comes as an alleged commander in the Somali Shebab rebel group denied press reports that Westerners or women are involved in the hostage standoff at a Nairobi mall that has killed at least 63 people.
The man, who claimed he had been in contact with the Islamist attackers inside the Westgate shopping centre, also said the militants would not negotiate an end to the siege.
The man, who called himself Abu Omar, was speaking to BBC radio after several British newspapers reported that Samantha Lewthwaite, the widow of one of the suicide bombers in the 2005 attacks on the London transport network, could have masterminded the attack.
"There are some rumours spreading around that say that there have been American, British and other attackers of different nationalities involved," Abu Omar said.
"I can confirm to you that none of that is true, I know that is baseless rumours that have no justification for them."
He claimed that women would never be involved in perpetrating such attacks.
"To verify, we do not employ our sisters to carry out military attacks of this type so these are just baseless rumours that have no substance to them," he said.
The man added: "There will be no negotiations."
"We've spoken to the mujahid inside Westgate and they told us that the Kenyan government was urging them to negotiate and was also giving them some incentives to come to the dialogue table.
"Every mujahid goes out to fight in the only true way... he wants to die for the sake of Allah to achieve martyrdom and that's something which has obviously confounded many Westerners and they have failed to come to terms with that."
Heavy gunfire and loud explosions were heard at the mall on Monday as Kenyan troops fought Islamist militants who were still holding hostages.
Somali Shebab militants had threatened to kill any hostages they were holding.
"We authorise the mujahedeen inside the building to take actions against the prisoners as much as they are pressed," Ali Mohamud Rage said in a statement posted on an Islamist website.
A Kenyan military spokesman said the fate of hostages inside a mall besieged by al-Qaeda-linked terrorists was not clear despite statements that "most" hostages had been rescued.
Military helicopters circled over the mall at daybreak, when about five minutes of sustained gunfire broke out at the mall, a clear indication that at least one of the estimated 10 to 15 gunmen who attacked the mall when it was filled with shoppers was still on the loose.
A large military assault began on the mall shortly before sundown with one helicopter skimming very close to the roof of the shopping complex as the loud explosions rang out, far larger than any previous grenade blast or gunfire volley.
Officials said the siege would soon end and said "most" hostages had been rescued and that officials controlled "most" of the mall.
But officials never said how many hostages had been rescued, and Kenya's military spokesman today was still not able to provide clear details.
"We are yet to get confirmation from what's happening in the building," Col. Cyrus Oguna, a Kenyan military spokesman, told The Associated Press.
Late on Sunday, Kenya's National Disaster Operation Centre said on Twitter that "this will end tonight. Our forces will prevail."
Melbourne architect Ross Langdon has been named as one of the victims of the Nairobi shopping centre terror attack. His pregnant partner Elif Yavuz from the Netherlands was also among the death toll of 68.
Six Britons are now believed to have been killed in the attack, UK Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said.
"Our current best estimate is we now have six British nationals who have died in this incident," he said after a meeting of the government's emergency committee chaired by Prime Minister David Cameron.
Mr Cameron cut short a stay with Queen Elizabeth II at her private Balmoral estate in Scotland to return to London on Monday to chair the emergency response committee COBRA.
Many of the rescued hostages - mostly adults - were suffering from dehydration, Colonel Cyrus Oguna, a military spokesman, told The Associated Press.
"The criminals are now all located in one place within the building... We have as good a chance to successfully neutralise the terrorists as we can hope for," Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said in a speech to the nation.
"They shall not get away with their despicable and beastly acts," Kenyatta said in an emotional speech, in which he announced he had lost a nephew and his fiancee in the attack. "We will punish the masterminds swiftly, and indeed very painfully."
Kenyatta said he had received "numerous offers of assistance from friendly countries" but that for now it remained a Kenyan operation.
However, a Kenyan security source confirmed that Israelis "are rescuing the hostages and the injured". The Israeli foreign ministry refused to confirm or deny its agents were involved.

Officials estimated some 200 people have been wounded, and the Red Cross made a nationwide appeal for blood donors.
Kenya now a "war zone": al-Shabaab
An al-Shabaab leader says his group considers Kenya a "war zone" and that the group will continue to attack the country until Nairobi withdraws its troops from southern Somalia.
"We will hit them anywhere we can," the unnamed leader said in an interview aired on Britain's Channel 4 on Sunday.
He says Kenyans are the group's "enemies" and that Western nations should stop backing the government or their citizens in Kenya will also be at risk.
The upscale Westgate mall in Nairobi was targeted because it is lucrative and that is "where they will feel pain", he said.
Long and bloody siege
The comments from al-Shabaab's leadership follow the final assault which came about 30 hours after 10 to 15 al-Shabab extremists stormed the mall Saturday from two sides, throwing grenades and firing on civilians.
The number of people killed in the ongoing siege, which began on Saturday, is feared to rise sharply from the 68 people confirmed dead, police sources said after entering the building.
"We fear the death toll ... it could be much, much higher than what we have, judging from the bodies sighted inside,'' a police officer said, after reports from inside of multiple corpses.
"There are more people dead inside, and some of the attackers are still armed and throwing grenades and shooting at the officers,'' the officer added.
The disaster centre reported "sporadic gunfire'', while an AFP reporter outside the mall said a loud explosion had been heard as troops moved inside the sprawling complex.
Journalists at the Westgate mall said the explosion on Sunday afternoon was by far the largest in the 30-hour siege. There big blast was followed by silence.
US MEDIA: FBI investigating claims that at least 2 of the #Westgate terrorists are Americans from Minnesota and Kansas City, Missouri— NTV Kenya (@ntvkenya) September 22, 2013
Meanwhile, CNN reported the militants included three people from the United States, two from Somalia and one each from Canada, Finland, Kenya and the UK. The report cited al-Shabab militants who are known to exaggerate their claims. But NBC reports as many as five of the militants may be from the US.
Aussie talks of chaos and terror inside the centre
Victorian lawyer Heidi Edwards was with a group who sheltered in a stairwell, having fled from a yoghurt shop when the shooting and explosions began.
The University of Melbourne law graduate, who is working as an associate at the Kenya Human Rights Commission before returning to Victoria next year, told the ABC that at first she did not realise the loud bang she had heard was a weapon. She then thought it might be a robbery, before she grasped how serious the predicament was.
"It sounded like scaffolding falling at first, I wasn't that concerned," Ms Edwards said.
"Then there was some panic going on and then another one (noise) in quick succession and then some gunshots."
She found an unlocked "staff only" door leading to a service exit and used the stairs to get down to the ground floor along with a group of people.
"Somebody else, not us, poked their head out and saw a gunman," Ms Edwards said.
"I don't know if it was one of the assailants, it might have been a police officer.
"So we had no real choice but to stay in the stairwell."
When she heard the grenades start up again, "it was clear it was not under control".
"When they started again it was clear to me that there was someone with a lot of artillery and that was when I started to get quite nervous," she said.
"There was no sirens which, for a Westerner was quite surprising - if that happened in Australia there would be sirens everywhere.
"It was just confusion more than anything else."
Dual Australian/British citizen killed in the violence
Acting Foreign Minister Andrew Robb said the Australian government condemned the Nairobi terrorist attacks in the strongest possible terms.
Mr Robb said the government "deeply regret" the loss of an Australian-UK dual national in the attack on the Westgate shopping mall.
"It should be noted that the situation on the ground remains fluid," Mr Robb said.
"Our travel advisory for Kenya flags the high risk of terrorist attacks in the country and advises Australians to exercise a high degree of caution."
All Australians currently in the city have been advised to avoid all public places in Nairobi for the next 24-48 hours and closely monitor the Kenyan media, Mr Robb said.
Consular assistance will be extended to the family of the person killed.
Meanwhile, a Melbourne woman and a former Adelaide man have survived the terrifying siege in an upmarket Nairobi shopping mall, as Kenyan troops remain locked in a fierce firefight with Somali militants inside.
Former Adelaide man Greg Aldous escaped the killers by hiding in a box, but saw a man gunned down in front of him. Read his story here
"They were coming through the front, they were coming through the back, and we were just sitting ducks," he said.
Sarah Williamson, 23, from Melbourne, was trapped in the mall for six hours, huddled in a phone store as carnage unfolded around her. Read her story here
Ms Williamson was in the mall with her father when she heard the first explosions.
"She heard the first grenade go off and said, 'What was that, dad?'," mum Linda said.
"Then he heard the guns firing and he knew exactly what it was and he said, 'We're under attack, everybody to the back of the room.'"
People with concerns about family or friends in Kenya should try to contact them directly or if unsuccessful phone the DFAT consular emergency centre on (02) 6261 3305.

Gardaí vote overwhelmingly for industrial action on pay
Rank-and-file gardaí have voted for industrial action - Independent.ie can reveal.
Members of the Garda Representative Association were balloted on whether they were willing to take industrial action over pay - despite them being legally restricted from going on strike.
It has emerged that 95% of those polled voted in favour.
Results, seen by Independent.ie, reveal that 9,875 members were balloted, 6,505 votes were counted with just 136 spoiled. A total of 6,069 (95.3%) voted in favour with just 300 (4.7%) voting against.
The ballot pre-empted the weekend deal on the Lansdowne Road deal.
- Read More: Garda strikes averted as pay deal is agreed
A spokesperson for the GRA said the ballot outcome will be discussed at a Special Delegate Conference in Tullamore tomorrow, as well as the pay deal brokered last week.
If they back the deal, a freeze on their pay increments will be lifted and a €4,017 rent allowance will be restored to new recruits.
Other concessions have been made in garda demands for a 39-hour working week and flexibility in the way they work 30 extra hours a year.
In return, gardaí would have to back the Lansdowne Road agreement.
Ciaran O'Neill, President of the Garda Representative Association, said: "We surveyed our members to find out if there is an appetite for industrial action. The reason for this is because our members have done everything that was asked of them, and the reluctance of the Government to reward our patience has driven us towards this move.
"It is not surprising to hear that our members are willing to take some form of industrial action to see their pay and conditions restored.
"A draft agreement was concluded with the Department of Justice following negotiations. This was discussed by the Central Executive Committee yesterday. It was decided that our Special Delegate Conference tomorrow will discuss this draft agreement further and decide the best way to proceed."

TEENAGE striker Luke James was the star of the show as he scored twice to help Hartlepool United to a 4-0 victory over 10-man Carlisle United, writes Craig Hope.
The 17-year-old – who only made his senior debut last month – netted in each half to compliment goals from Tony Sweeney and Colin Nish as Pools cruised to their biggest win of the season and climbed to 10th in League One.
It took just six minutes for Pools to find the breakthrough, Andy Monkhouse scampering clear down the right before drawing back for James who fired home from 12 yards via the boot of the closing Danny Livesey.
Pools were in the ascendancy and Gary Liddle fizzed a shot wide from 20 yards before James Brown swept into the side-netting when teed up by Sweeney inside the area.
But Sweeney himself made no mistake on 17 minutes as the hosts doubled their advantage.
Neil Austin lofted a right-wing centre towards the fringe of the six-yard area and it was the Pools midfielder who climbed highest to nod into the bottom corner.
And things went from bad to worse for the Cumbrians when former Middlesbrough striker Lee Miller was shown a straight red card on 28 minutes for a dangerous lunge on Monkhouse.
With a man advantage Pools set about extending their lead and Brown, having jinked inside Lubo Michalik, was unlucky to see an 18-yard drive bounce narrowly wide.
Carlisle made two changes at the break and the visitors started the second period in positive mood.
Twice from almost identical positions they went close with curling free-kicks, Liam Noble first to try his luck before Jon-Paul McGovern dinked inches the wrong side of the crossbar.
But the day belonged to one young man and the outstanding James got his second on 68 minutes.
Goalkeeper Adam Collin dithered in possession and James blocked his clearance with the ball squirming loose.
Monkhouse retrieved and fed his young team-mate who did the rest as he burst into the box before blasting into the roof of the net beyond a crestfallen Collin.
Sweeney was then denied a second when his header was hacked from the line by Francois Zoko.
And it was left to Nish – back after two months on the sidelines following knee surgery – to crown a memorable afternoon as he poked beyond Collin from close range with seven minutes remaining.

Wukong Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to my first guide of Wukong - The Monkey King. In the next chapters i would like you all to understand and learn how to play the crazy monkey. I don't like much blah blah but i do like to help people out. A short and effective guide is what i'll try to bring forth.
Since Wukong is the newest champion many people think is op and some people think is up. Wukong is not up or op, he is a balanced champion who needs some changes.
I hope you read and like my guide (since is my first one) and i hope i'll help you out.
9x Greater Mark of Desolation - Armor penetration is must for Wukong and specially for ad champions
9x Greater Seal of Clarity - In early game i like to spam my Nimbus Strike so a good mana regenaration will help me do that.
9x Greater Glyph of Warding - Magic resistance is must since in my build you won't have items with it. (except your passive)
3x Greater Quintessence of Fortitude - Health Health Health
21/0/9 is the build Wukong must play with since your physical damage is your attacking stance. You will burst squishy enemies down a bit quickly since you will ignore a lot of their armor.
By entering Summoner's Rift you need to purchase your Boots of Speed and 3x Health Potion.
You need to be a bit defensive in lane (except you have a good harass company).
You need to farm as much as you can since you need to complete Trinity force asap. Trinity Force is the item that will help you a lot to kill your enemies.
After completing your Trinity Force, finish your Mercurie's Treads and immediately start farming your Warmog's Armor. (you need hp regenaration and more health).
The next step of your item build should be Stark's Fervor. It is good because it gives you lifesteal, attack speed, hp5 and it also reduces the armor of your enemies by 20.
At the end you need to complete 2 more armor penetration items. First of all is Last Whisper and either Youmuu's Ghostblade or The Black Cleaver.
By completing these items i am sure you will 2-3 shot squishy heroes down and you will be amazed with the burst damage of Wukong.
Summoner Spells
Flash will help you out with escaping or even catching up enemy heroes while ignite will give you extra kills when an enemy hero tries to escape. (Ignite is an extra ability).
Tips N' Tricks
Use your ulti to knockback enemies and then stop it. Your damage will be more without it.
Try to burst easy targets first. Don't concentrate your burst damage at tanks and heavy armor dpsers.
Don't forget to use your CHEAT ability : Decoy. In certain situations you can trick your enemies and make them use their abilities or even their ultimate on it.
This is my mini Wukong guide. I hope you liked it and i hope it will help you out learning Wukong and having fun with him. Attack them and burst them down. Don't forget your Decoy it's your crazy illusionist spell.
I will be updating this guide frequently and i will try replying to comments.
Thanks for reading,

Hello! I'm not sure if anyone is still out there, it's been so long since I've shared anything here, but I decided I couldn't stay away forever!
Here's a quick rundown of what life has been like over the last 5 months (has it really been that long!?)
We moved in October. And after going through my pictures, I realized I don't have a good photo of the outside of the house. I'll try to get one! We just moved across town, but anyone who has moved knows how much work it is! We've been unpacked for a long time, but we are finally starting to get more things hung on the walls. It's amazing how much little things like that make it feel like home!
Emerson turned 3 and we went on a week-long "famcation"to Florida. It was much needed time away after the move.
We went to Cedar Rapids for Thanksgiving and Christmas and had a great time with our families. It's especially fun to see the boys playing with their cousins!
I started blogging for Des Moines Mom's Blog! I'm loving this community of moms and writers and also the accountability to at least write one post a month! Here's my latest post about what I'm learning as a mom.
We found out we're pregnant! I'm due July 31. There will be a short period where we have 3 kids ages 3 and under. Pray for us! Now that I'm out of the 1st trimester (January was a rough month!) we are excited to grow our little family. Next week we find out if we're having a boy or a girl!
I went to If:Local for the third year. As always, it was an encouraging, challenging, and inspiring weekend. Leave it to Jennie Allen and her team to preach it!
I've also been reading some really good books lately, but I feel like I need a separate post for that!

Whilst intoxicated, I wandered into a dark corridor and was met with a man whose motives were questionable. Needless to say I feared for my life.
If I had a dollar for every time a would-be robber asked for my belt and I could have quickly pulled out a knife, I'd have zero dollars. But, this belt buckle knife still is an awesome idea to fend off potential attackers. Nothing is scarier than a man with a belt buckle knife and pants on the floor.

Yes, I had a c section with my 1st and a successful VBAC with my second.
I had an epidural with my 1st baby which I believe contributed to my c section as I couldn't move around, which I believe helped to stop my labour. I had a section due to failure to progress - I got to 5cm. With my second, I decided to avoid an epidural and keep moving around. I think this helped my labour progress. The labour and birth took about 8 hours.
Obviously not all sections can be avoided, but I think there are things you can do to reduce the risk and a VBAC is possible.

I had 2 VBAC's after my Cesarean. And yes they were both successful. It is completely possible to do vaginal birth after having a cesarean. What they will not tell you is. The reason that alot of people say it gets easier after the first child is because your body forms elasticity after births and so if your first child is born as a cesarean and your second child is born by VBAC then its really like going through labor the first time unless you made it all the way to 10 and started pushing and just had the cesarean at the last minute. My first child 3cm before I had a cesarean. My second child 21 hours labor and delivery my third 4 hours labor and delivery.

This started off as an absentminded doodle of the adult drone. Somehow, I managed to forget that, if you don't compose your shots, the composition sucks. I'm a background disaster right now!
Oh well. Better luck next time. The xenomorphs look good so I count this as a win!

Wonderful work! You are quite the artist
They are so adorable when bursting !
Cute chestburster...if my brain hadn't already been cracked by the internet this might have done it LoL.
That is adorable.
Awwww it got its tail
... How in the world did you manage to make the chestburster look CUTE? With it chewing its tail the way a baby will chew on their toes, that just so adorable, I can't even count the typos I've made typing this up.
the chestburster is ssoooo cute!
Too cute.
Awwwwww! <
D'awwwwwwww, it's all cute and bloody and derpy 8D
awwww.......look at the wittle chest buwster :3
There is something beautifully sick about putting a picture with a bloody chestburster in a group called MovieCuties. Me gusta.
i find face huggers cute.. they just want a cuddle.. they hunger for hugz. :/
but i think i'm a little odd that way, i don't find the alien films scary.. even tho i know i should.
but i think i'm a little odd that way, i don't find the alien films scary.. even tho i know i should.
That little one there will grow up to be part of the lesser known caste of Xenomorphs known as "Derp" XD
If that drone had a face, he'd be all like "I don't know what this generation is coming to, tail nibbling in public? Disgraceful!" XD

Derpmorphs are known for their unpredictable fighting style and confusion when faced with mirrors
Lol, too cute <3
Dawww.... It's the penis-cobra/facehugger.
Love the work you did on the xenomorph, well done.
Love the work you did on the xenomorph, well done.
Awesome pose! I love the way the tail is poised for the attack!
aww, the little chestburster on the ground is so cute, chewing on his tail. the Xenomorph looks awesome!
Is that big xenomorph the mommy?
~ Cute!
Do xenomorphs ever do canniblisiam? The hybrids kill narmal xenomorphs so ah.
sweeet one
:3 D'aww
so cute :3
If you ignore the trail of blood and the fact that xenomorphs can be terribly vicious, this is a pretty cute and well-drawn scene. It's like the typical heartwarming adult watching over a youngling scene…only with manhunting aliens. The adult xenomorph's pose turned out great, especially combined with how its tail curves. And I love how the mini-morph is nomming on its own tail.
that chesh burster to so cute when he biting its tail
the Chest Buster in the corner has got to be the cutest Xeno I've ever seen. Nice.
puppy alien? nice work btw
great sentences. looks real class.
great one! I know a lot of people alredy told you that, but the little-one is AWSOME! I really liked that way you imagened him chasing its tail like a little puppy!
Thanks! He was a fun last minute add on. I might do more with these two. I haven't decided yet though.
What if... a Xenomorph was combined with a Necromorph. The horror! The Murder! Imagine if Isaac teams up with a Predator. 'whats up.' 'nice mask.' 'thanks, nice knives.' 'Yeah, its alright, gets bigger though.'
The universe hates Isaac enough already. Throwing in yautja and xenomorphs is just mean-spirited!
lol you have to admit its cute with the little one nom noming on its small tail as the adult seems to think its strange
Aww too cute how its nibbling on its own tail.
ahhh...it's so cute when a chestburster is nibbling on its tail, until it lurches at you and rips your throat out...

CARBONDALE, Pa. (AP) — The cops have been buzz-ted.
A swarm of bees has forced officers at a Pennsylvania police department out of their station.
The (Scranton) Times-Tribune (http://bit.ly/2celBDh ) reports Carbondale police had to abandon the station Tuesday when the bees arrived.
Most of the buzzing insects settled into cracks and crevices in the third-floor brick exterior of City Hall, but others managed to get inside the first-floor police station.
The station was to remain closed to the public Wednesday.

This "ultimately meaningless, frivolous, pointless, fatuous exercise"
Karl Smith notes, contra Bryan Caplan, that giving someone life is not like giving them $100 because life can't be freely disposed of. And Adam Ozimek argues, inter alia, that we can't just poll already-existing people to figure out the wishes of possible people.
And various commenters want everybody to stop talking about such obvious stuff.
2 comments:
Karl Smith has another relevant post on pessimism:ReplyDelete
I don't know why anyone takes Bryan Caplan seriously. His attitude toward others may be polite and superficially reasonable and sympathetic, but to me at least it's not especially serious, and mean, narrow, and unempathetic to boot. His libertarianism and neoclassical economics is of the most facile and adolescent variety, like Megan McArdle's. I just see no point in reading anything he writes when there are people like Tyler Cowen (on good days) and Robin Hanson who write about similar topics from politically similar perspectives but do so in a way that's generally more penetrating, that indicates that they've seriously thought about the flaws in their positions, that doesn't casually dismiss or ignore counterarguments, and respects the complexity of whatever issues are at hand rather than reducing nearly everything to Econ 101 and EvoPsych 101.ReplyDelete

Merry ChristMyth
Christmas in Yellowstone, but we only caught part of the program, so I decided to record a later showing in high definition; unfortunately my MythTV box is about 360 km southeast of my current location. I thought MythWeb might be useful but I was not familiar with it, nor had I installed it. Now that I am, and have, I wish I had set this up earlier. Off site management access is just the beginning of MythWeb's feature set.

Direct Inward Dialing with Asterisk and Broadvoice
When I wrote about building my own PBX, I mentioned that I set up Direct Inward Dialing (DID), a feature which allows virtual phone numbers to be routed directly to extensions while using shared trunks (phone lines). I figured out how to accomplish this after reading this discussion, but made improvements along the way.
Quick Fix for Asterisk/BroadVoice Number Conflict.
I have a strange issue on my Asterisk box. If I call BroadVoice tech support using one of their trunks, I connect normally and hear the initial IVR, I press "1" and hear "Your call is being transferred." Then the weirdness starts: I remain connected, but I hear my own hold music. As near as I can figure, while I'm on hold in their call queue, Asterisk has dumped me in to hold and I can't get out. If I stay on long enough for a tech to pick up, they either hear nothing or my hold music and hang up. Free beer goes to anyone who can identify and solve this issue, meanwhile I have developed a workaround.

Red Box
I finally built a red box, not the phone phreak device that generates coin tones for pay phones, but rather a Linux PBX which gives me the power and flexibility of a commercial grade phone system at a fraction of the cost. I call it a red box because the primary VoIP number I chose suggests [1]June 20, 1963-- the day the "red telephone" went live between Washington and Moscow. Once I painted the side panels a nice, shiny red, I decided that in keeping with the metallic network naming I use (cobalt, tungsten, strontium, etc.) the best name for my new PBX would be 'copper'.

Voodoo Programming
One of the reasons I'm a consultant is because I love to solve problems; this does not mean, however, that I enjoy all the problems I solve, nor that the pursuit is always rewarding in itself. This week I got stuck in a mind-bender that had all the satisfying crunch of a soggy pretzel.

Competition is good.
The Common Council of the city of Peekskill, New York had a public hearing tonight to hear citizens' comments on the proposed granting of a cable franchise contract to Verizon. Some Verizon suits were in attendance, as well as an obligatory Cablevision weasel; what surprised me was the vocal support of Peekskill residents, most of whom are not Verizon employees. It's nice to live in a forward-thinking community. It will come as no surprise that the Council's vote in favor of the contract was unanimous, but the epiphanic moment was toward the end of the public commentary when a Verizon rep. was attempting to recall the website address for more information: he got stuck after "it's verizon.com, eh..." and nearly the entire gallery finished "FiOS".

Multiple Recipient Delimiters in Postfix
Some time ago I enabled recipient delimiters (e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com) as a convenient way to know if shady web forms are contributing to my spam folder. The idea is that when House Depot requires me to have an account before I can see if they have loose screws in stock locally, I can sign up with email@example.com instead of my usual e-mail. With recipient delimiters enabled, postfix will try to deliver any incoming mail to garrison+housedepot but when it finds no such user, it will try garrison and I get my mail. The problem arises when I discover that House Depot's broken web form rejects any e-mail addresses with "+" in the user name as invalid. I'm already using garrison+foo style addresses elsewhere so I don't want to change the recipient delimiter, but neither do I trust my real address to a company that can't even create a proper web form.

Music on the Go (part 2)
The first Ogg-friendly music player I purchased was a Neuros II; this was late in 2004 and hardware support was fairly new as the Vorbis codec didn't reach 1.0 until 2002. Then, as now, the best place for information on Ogg-friendly devices was XiphWiki. I recall being quite impresssed with Neuros' willingness to open up the device specifications and embrace the Open Source community, unfortunately the device suffered from a number of design flaws that no amount of firmware hacking could ever resolve. Ultimately the combination of charging problems, a design plagued by awkwardness and bulk, and the manufacturer's shift to focus on newer devices doomed the Neuros II to my technology junk drawer.

WiFi Expansion
Summer in Peekskill has turned out to be quite nice and my wife and I have spent the last couple weeks refactoring our hardware configuration with procedures occasionally referred to as "foundation planting" and "buying porch furniture". Naturally, porch life in the Hoffman home requires adequate wifi coverage, so I got to thinking about how to extend my router's wireless signal.

Music on the Go (part one)
I have music on my mind. I'm listening to Voodoo Child (ten point bonus if you know how this relates to Doctor Who) and thinking about my next portable music player. Like most geeks, the first question I ask about any digital music device is, "does it play OGG?"
Generally superior to MP3, Ogg Vorbis is a must for any lossy digital music collection, but it's not the only feature I look for in a music player. I use four basic criteria to judge music players:

Dell Agress with Codefix
Dell didn't ask but if they had I would have told them that Ubuntu Linux is a good choice. I have generally refrained from the usual histrionics whenever something Linux-ish makes the news, but I'd would like to voice a couple remarks regarding Dell's Ubuntu announcement.
While I'm always happy to see Linux reaching a wider audience, Dell has been something of a fair weather friend to the open source crowd.

A Linux Success Story
I'm working on a marketing letter, and I'll be using one of my favorite success stories which is about Russ, owner of a small Internet service provider (ISP) providing web hosting, e-mail, and related services to his local community.
Once upon a time, I would listen to Russ complain of problems with his proprietary e-mail server, then I would suggest he let me set up a Linux server running open source software, and Russ would sigh, "Yeah, I really should..." but he could usually get his e-mail running again without too much help and everything would continue as before.

Managing Line Endings
Moments ago I was asked to help figure out why a simple bash script was producing a "Bad interpreter" error on a Linux box. After checking that the bash interpreter was indeed where the script believed it was, I deduced that the problem was none other than the invisible gremlin that has plagued electronic text for over thirty years: line endings.

Digital Photography with Linux
During the summer of 1982, I borrowed a 35mm camera from my father and enrolled in a photography workshop; I took surprisingly decent photographs with that old Argus C3 and found that I very much enjoyed working in the darkroom as well. Still the oldest camera I own, the Argus has long been retired to my camera collection in favor newer models, most recently a Canon Digital Rebel XT. Today I am writing from the perspective of one fortunate enough to enjoy the intersection of two interests.

Good Advice, Bad Advice
Earlier this month Debian 4.0 (codename 'Etch') was released; many web pages now sport instructions for upgrading, but not all of these are wholly correct and some aren't even safe. Naturally the best source for all things Debian is the official Debian website, where one may find comprehensive upgrade notes, but quick and easy tends to be the order of the day.

About Lorraine
My Technique | Curriculum Vitae | Care of Textile Art
Like many women of my generation, I was introduced to the fabric arts at the earliest opportunity, at my mother's knee with a needle and thread. This was the start of a long creative journey that led to a full time career in art textiles. I have been working as a professional artist in the textile medium for thirty years.
For my formal education, I earned a BSc in Agriculture, Majoring in Ornamental Horticulture, and have been studying developments in tree research since graduating in 1978. In my work I draw upon my background in science to create images in fabric which evoke the strong connection I feel with the natural world. Since fabric is itself a plant or animal product, it is an ideal material for expressing and capturing the attributes of natural forms, and the techniques I use mirror processes that bring order to diverse and humble materials.
With my sewing machine, I use distinctive raw edge appliqué techniques and an evolving visual vocabulary to interpret and illustrate biological organisms and systems. My intention is to arouse emotional connection by shining a warm light on critical unseen forces. Most of my wall pieces are inspired by the biology, mythology and symbolism of trees, classic emblems of the communion of earth and spirit.
On our half acre of property on the Niagara escarpment, my husband, fine art photographer Janusz Wrobel and I built a self standing studio and gallery surrounded by gardens. We participate in local open studio events, and visitors are also welcome by appointment. You can also see my work at any of my representing galleries. My Facebook Page is the best way to keep up with all the latest news.

Around 900 antifa demonstrators took to the streets of Berlin on Saturday to join an annual memorial rally for murdered left-wing activist and squatter Silvio Meier. He was killed by members of a far-right group 24 years ago at the city's Samariterstraße subway station, where the rally began. The activists carried banners and lit fires as they marched through the streets. Some protesters got on a roof and set off fireworks. Tensions were high during the event, and two policemen were injured.

Pittsburgh, PA (PressExposure) August 21, 2014 -- Property management companies have a great deal of tasks lined up on a daily basis. They take care of buying and selling properties, managing client queries and the other essential process of accounting, bookkeeping, broker price opinion and further plan on improvisations of business. Holding a bunch of tasks to complete within the limited time, most of the in-line processes are left undone with no further assistance.
Besides the production and development oriented activities, client handling is a crucial subject that has to be dealt with the utmost attention. Being a realtor you might have already known how precious the clients are and how they affect both the profit and loss of an enterprise. Customers experience the discomfort if they do not get a proper response at the right time they want. This may leave a chance of missing out a potential client.
Likewise the financial documents of a client or property management concern has to be grappled on a regular basis. If a robust focus is not given to the books of accounts, then it would induce troubles during the sales of any properties.

Lindsay Lohan's new reality show2:14
Lindsay Lohan clashes with Oprah Winfrey on her new reality show as she battles addiction and career challenges. Courtesy OWN.
SHE recently revealed that she'd suffered a miscarriage, now Lindsay Lohan has dropped another bombshell — she's been seeing a married man.
In the interview with KODE magazine, Lohan spoke about the man, but did not reveal his name.
"Oh this guy I'm seeing sent me a jet because he wants to see me … but he's married with kids."
The interviewer also revealed that Lohan drank vodka and soda during the chat, despite the actress declaring that she'd had only one glass of wine since becoming sober.
Despite drinking during the interview, Lohan said: "I'm not an alcoholic."
One wonders what Oprah Winfrey will think of Lohan's latest revelations, after she tried to help her get her life back on track by putting together a reality show for the troubled star on OWN.
For her part, Lohan spoke glowingly of Winfrey, saying, "She's taught me so much and really believes in me, nothing like Barbara Walters."

ANDY Murray took time out from his preparations for the ATP World Tour Finals at the weekend to answer questions from rival Roger Federer.
The 25-year-old showed his softer side during a verbal rally with the Swiss world number one, as they geared up for the tournament at London's O2 Arena.
The pair swapped tennis whites for smart suits to attend the gala event at the Royal Courts of Justice along with the rest of the world's top eight players.

The Dunblane-born world number three, who took gold in the men's singles at the London Olympics and went on to claim his first Grand Slam title by beating Novak Djokovic at the US Open in September, is guaranteed a rapturous reception in London.
He has been drawn to face Djokovic in Group A, which also features Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Federer heads Group B, which also contains David Ferrer, Juan Martin del Potro and Janko Tipsarevic.
