In otherwise healthy people, it is not usually necessary to distinguish respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection from a common cold. A doctor may suspect RSV infection as the cause of symptoms when there is evidence of a recent community outbreak. It is generally not necessary to confirm RSV infection with lab tests. But a medical history and physical exam may be done to evaluate symptoms.
A viral detection test may be done to confirm a diagnosis of RSV in symptomatic children and adults older than 65 who are at an increased risk for a severe infection or for complications. The test involves lab analysis of nasal drainage, obtained with a cotton swab or nasal wash. Testing may also be recommended for people who are hospitalized if the cause of symptoms has not already been determined and they have a high risk of developing complications.
The results of viral detection tests help determine whether precautions are needed to prevent the spread of infection. For children who are at risk for getting severe infections or complications of RSV infections, the results of these tests may help guide treatment, such as the need for medicines.
Certain tests may be needed if RSV symptoms do not improve or become worse or if complications such as bronchiolitis or pneumonia are suspected. These tests may include:
- A chest X-ray, which may show signs of pneumonia.
- Blood tests, such as a chemistry screening, a complete blood count, or arterial blood gases analysis.
- Oximetry, to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood.

text: Human Rights Observatory Putin Strategy With Ukrainian Separatists Differs From Crimea Russian President Vladimir Putin's approach to pro-Russian militants destabilizing southern and eastern Ukraine differs from his strategy on Crimea, where Russian forces took a more active role in breaking away the peninsula from Kyiv. Massing Russian soldiers along the Ukrainian border mirrors the troop build-up that preceded Moscow's annexation of the Crimean peninsula. Putin appears to have a different approach, however, to Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the southern and...Read complete article© Voice of America - Wednesday, April 23, 2014

Very cool!
Well, barring the gold and other precious metals (I'd rather nitrate them), I think I might have yet another project.
I really really wantses one.
Thanks for the video, everything is better ten times smaller (JSR bait).
/sarcasm, /hyperbole
Surely you have a few files and sandpaper, you just need patience.
All I need is the material for the bow, I've got it planned out already.
/sarcasm, /hyperbole
im tempted to try and make one from acrylic, anyone know where I can get the stuff to make a bow like that. Is the a type of steel rod I can use.
Ah, it's the infamous unlimited renter's insurance guy again.

text: I am trying to locate Dr. Overton L. Conrad or better known in the Adair County area as Dr. Connard (as they pronounced it). He was born May 5, 1873 in Shelby Co., KY to James V. and Emma Llwelleyn Overton. He first married Sarah "Sallie" and had 3 children, Vance, Florence and Overton L. (who also was a Dr in Jefferson Co., KY) He married Mary Moody 2nd and they lived in the Breeding Community of Adair County KY where he was the Dr for years with his signature on many birth and death records. I have found him throughout the years in the census and found his burial place for his 2nd wife Mary that was Spencer Co., KY because she was from that area. His brothers and some family lived in the Jefferson Co., KY area. I am trying to locate his burial place and his death date and have had no luck finding that information. My mother and her siblings and most from the Adair County area pronounced his name Connard instead of the way it is spelled Conrad. Most records show Conrad and his signature does Conrad as well on documentation throughout his years as a physician. Any help would be appreciated so much. firstname.lastname@example.com

|Our office provides a variety of information and technical assistance to business professionals, the individual landowner, and other units of government.
A summary of these services is provided below:
|What a Homebuyer needs to know
Are you thinking of buying or building a home? Then the following information is for you!
Here are a few things to consider.....
Soil and Drainage
* If you will be disturbing 5,000 square feet (or more) of land see the Erosion & Sediment Control Section
Is the soil on the home site a heavy clay with low permeability?
Will water pond or gather in depressions during wet times?
Are subsurface drains installed to drain depressions that may collect and hold water?
Do surface drainage swales cross the lot carrying water from upland properties; if so, will drainage swales limit potential building sites?
Is there a suitable outlet for surface and subsurface drainage?
Do the soils on the site have significant shrink swell potential; requiring the use of a coarser material for foundation backfill?
Will the lot be wet for several months out of the year due to a seasonally high water table?
Are slopes around the building site stable considering the textures of the soils?
Will low soil strengths add extra expense to building design and construction?
Sewage Disposal
Are public sewage facilities available at your potential home site?
Does the lot meet the Health Department minimum requirements of 40,000 square feet for septic tank leach fields?
Is the soil too shallow to bedrock to support a leach field sewage disposal system?
Are enough non-hydric soils present on the site to support a septic tank and leach field sewage treatment system?
What other sewage treatment systems are permitted in Medina County?
Is enough area clear of woody vegetation to support a septic tank leach field?
Will existing topography allow for gravity flow of sewage from the home site to the septic tank and then to the leach field?
Does the property have an acceptable outlet for the leach field curtain drain?
Is the lot large enough to adequately separate a septic tank leach field from a domestic well? The leach field should be at least 50 feet from the well and 10 feet from the property line.
Is the lot large enough to allow for relocation of the leach field; should this be necessary in the future?
How do septic systems function for other home owners in the area?
Flood Hazard
Is your potential home site located on a floodplain --- in the broad flat area adjacent to a stream or ditch?
Are debris piles or scour marks apparent on the land around a stream indicating the height and extent of recent flooding? Does it appear that flooding may reach your prospective home site or sewage disposal system?
Does your home site lie in the regulatory floodplain as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency?
Landscape Considerations
Can existing trees be saved to serve as windbreaks or shade trees?
Will topsoil be stockpiled and applied following final grade?
Is the native soil capable of supporting desirable landscape plants?
Are natural slopes stable on the site? Is there evidence of past land slips or slides -- i.e. hummocky ground, swept tree trunks, tilted trees, or deep parallel cracks in the soil?
Water Supply
Are public water supplies available at the site?
What are the capacities of water wells near the prospective home site?
How deep are the wells in your area?
What is the quality of well water in your area at various depths?
How do groundwater professionals rate the carrying capacity of the aquifer in the area of your prospective home site?
Are underground storage tanks, sewage disposal areas, or other waste disposal facilities in close proximity to your prospective home site that could contaminate your well?
Is a well drilling permit required before building?
Area Development Plans
Is your prospective home site in a rapidly developing area?
What type of development is planned for the area?
Are planned developments and present zoning compatible with your potential home site?
What effect will future development have on drainage across the site?
Subtle indications of potential problems:
When your potential home site is in a small patch of woods surrounded by cropland; check to see whether the wooded area is predominantly in hydric soils?
When the road is topographically higher than your potential home site; check to see that an acceptable drainage outlet is available for foundation, surface, and subsurface drains.
When surrounding properties are topographically higher than your prospective home site; check to see that upland runoff does not flood or pond on your site.

|Erosion and Sediment Control
OEPA Construction Site Inspection Checklist
The City of Brunswick, the City of Wadsworth and the City of Medina: Currently, the SWCD assists these areas by reviewing erosion and sediment control plans for proposed development sites on a requested basis. We work in cooperation with the city engineering departments to ensure best management practices are correctly specified on construction drawings. Compliance inspections are completed upon a request from city personnel. No fees are charged for plan reviews or for site inspections completed in these areas.
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency: As of April 21, 2003 the construction storm water permit has changed to incorporate all sites disturbing 1 acre or greater as well as post-construction storm water measures. These changes were made due to the NPDES Storm Water Phase II requirements.
For questions concerning the SWCD E&SC Program within the unincorporated areas of the County:
|Pond Construction
Our office assists landowners/contractors with pond construction. In order to ensure sound construction, a series of important steps need to be taken. Our office offers and highly recommends a landowner/contractor perform the three (3) optional steps, prior to the seven (7) required, to ensure proper placement and construction of a pond.
Design and Construction Process----(requirements)
Optional but Highly Recommended Steps:
Required Steps:
Frequently Asked Questions
Some ponds are governed by the state of Ohio, as a result, Ohio Department of Natural Resources has developed several fact sheets on Dam Safety.
For more information, contact Jim Dieter, District Technician by e-mail or phone at
|Drainage, Streambank, Erosion Problems
Our office assists landowners with a variety of drainage and erosion concerns:
We commonly perform site visits and distribute informational brochures concerning this topic. As a result, our office has developed an informational brochure, which describes surface and subsurface drainage, seasonal high water table, wet basements, and provides information on the Ohio drainage laws (see below). Additionally, we would be happy to visit your property for a more detailed review and comprehensive assistance.
Drainage Around Your Home
|Backyard Conservation
The conservation of natural resources is important on every level from a 100 acre farm to a ½ acre lot. For many years, conservation practices have been applied to farmland, and these practices can be adapted to your own backyard. By beginning at this individual lot level, each property owner can personalize and take pride in their unique backyard display. The USDA NRCS has developed a brochure giving tips and highlights for ten conservation practices. Even if you do not have a backyard of your own, consider applying this program to public property within your community.
NRCS has partnered with the Audubon Society to develop and promote a backyard conservation program called Audubon at Home. Click here for more information on this program.
Additionally, the ODNR Division of Forestry has a program, which helps to develop and manage Urban & Community Forestry.

|Impervious Surface and Runoff
With the urbanization revolution directly at hand, many land use changes are effecting our natural resources. Impervious surfaces include roads, streets, parking lots, rooftops, driveways, sidewalks, or other compacted surfaces which block or greatly reduce the ability of rain to infiltrate into the ground. Consequently, larger volumes of water run off the land.
The following information taken from the Center for Watershed Protection.
Land development impacts hydrology (movement/flow of water), geomorphology (geologic changes or changes in the shape and composition of streams), water quality, and habitat.
Hydrological impacts of urbanization include: disruption of water balance, increased flood peaks, increased storm water runoff, more frequent flooding, increased bankfull flows (a condition where streamflow fills a stream channel to the top), and lower dry weather flows.
Geomorphological impacts of urbanization include: stream widening and erosion, reduced fish passage, degradation of habitat structure, decreased channel stability, loss of pool-riffle structure fragmentation of riparian tree canopy, embeddedness, and decreased substrate quality.
Water quality impacts of urbanization include: increased stream temperature, increased pollutants, and increased risk of beach closure.
Several studies indicate water quality degradation generally begins to occur when 10% or more impervious surface area exists. Typical pollutants from urban storm water include: suspended solids/sediments, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), metals (copper, zinc, lead, and cadmium), oil and grease, bacteria, pesticides and herbicides, and temperature.
Typical pollutants from urban storm water include: suspended solids/sediments, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), metals (copper, zinc, lead, and cadmium), oil and grease, bacteria, pesticides and herbicides, and temperature.
Habitat impacts due to urbanization include: decline of habitat value of streams, loss of buffer zones, loss of large woody debris, creation of fish barriers, a shift in the energy source that drives streams, and increased algae growth.

Antonio is a sea captain. Though considered a pirate by Illyrians, he considers himself an honorable opponent.
Though due to his history of capturing Illyrians ships, he is not very welcome in Orsino's lands, he knows which is the best inn in town. He is deeply infatuated with Sebastian, whom he saved from drowning, to the extent of following him to Illyria despite the personal danger to him. He is shocked and wounded when Sebastian (as he thinks) later refuses to acknowledge knowing him, let alone having borrowed his purse. When the real Sebastian rushed up to embrace him and return his money, he is deeply confused, and incapable of telling the difference between the twins. What happens to Antonio, who discovers that Sebastian has been married since they last saw each other that afternoon, is uncertain. Generally he joins in with the reveling, if in a bit of a lonely way; but it is not impossible that everyone forgets about him and that he's executed after all.

Shaolin Abbot Trailer (1979)
"He is Judge and Jury...and there is no appeal!" 11 July 1979 Action, Foreign 84 mins
While international favorite David Chiang was best known for his roles as a grinning, streetwise, fighter in many Chang Cheh-directed classics, he rarely played a noble warrior monk. But here he portrays the great Chih Shim, the monk who saved the Southern Shaolin Temple. Making this production all the more notable is Lo Lieh, Shaws' first international star, who returns to a role he also made famous - that of Shaolin renegade Pai Mei. This, and even more, makes for a true martial arts epic of the first order.

An anonymous donor has gifted Cal State Long Beach (CSULB)'s College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics $2.3 million, the university announced today.
The gift will create an endowed dean position and a graduate fellowship.
This is the first endowed dean position at the local university and the third in the CSU system, as CSULB joins San Diego State (business) and San Jose State (engineering).
The endowed fellowship will provide funding for students to pursue graduate degrees.
"In an era of budget cuts and associated reductions in state funding, the philanthropy of the Beach Community is more important than ever," said President Jane Close Conoley in a statement. "Through their generosity, donors become partners in fulfilling our mission of student success."
The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is a leader in undergraduate and graduate student research with its six departments and 22 degree programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels and enrolling over 4,400 students.
CSULB is recruiting a new dean for the college to replace Laura Kingsford, who announced in September she would step down from the position to lead the university's campus-wide program, Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD).
BUILD, funded by the largest National Institutes of Health grant in CSULB history, offers intensive research-training opportunities for undergraduate students interested in pursuing careers in health-related research.
"This endowment will help the university recruit and retain a truly visionary individual to be the next dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics," said Conoley in a statement. "We are incredibly grateful for such a transformational gift."

This motor car is no longer availablePlease contact us for any further information you may require.
Ferrari's 201mph F40 is the definitive supercar and has a formidable reputation alongside the 250 GTO as possibly the best road Ferrari built to date. With the F40 Pininfarina produced an era defining creation, one that even today is instantly recognisable by old and young enthusiasts alike. F40's were closely derived from the experimental GTO Evoluzione's and the road 288 GTO (that the F40 replaced). The design features a tubular steel chassis with bonded composite inserts, most notably around the sills and floorpan, The 2936cc motor produces approximately 500bhp at 7000rpm with the help of two water-cooled IHI turbochargers running 1.1bar of boost - at 1202kg the F40 had a and still has a phenomenal power-to-weight ratio.
Shatteringly fast by any comparison (especially for 1988), the F40 can sprint from 0-60mph in just 4.4 seconds and hit 201mph flat out making it the first production car to surpass this mystical boundary. Whilst the GTO had pioneered the use of composite panels, the F40 was the first whose bodywork was constructed entirely from such materials. Comprising eleven panels made from Nomex, Kevlar and Carbon composite with a heavily ventilated Plexiglas rear windscreen. Sliding Lexan windows were fitted to the first 50 cars, these getting replaced by wind-ups thereafter. The F40 was a landmark not just on account of its crushing performance and stunning looks, but it was fittingly the last ever car presented by Enzo Ferrari, this taking place at Maranello in June 1987, 14 months before the great man's death. From 1991 onwards cars were fitted with catalytic convertors to meet ever tightening legislation and at this time adjustable suspension became an option.
Production was discontinued in 1992 after 1311 examples had been completed in five years (600 or so being bound for the USA and being noticeably different to their lighter and faster European cousins), the F40 was only ever available from Ferrari in left-hand drive and presented in Rosso Corsa. (Approximately 7 examples were converted to RHD for the Sultan of Brunei)At the start of January 2010 DK Engineering completed their 100th sale of this iconic supercar. Our workshops have maintained approximately 75 different examples at various points in their life over the past 22 years. With this we are generally acknowledged as one of the leading F40 specialists in Europe.
This F40, chassis 83185, was delivered by Garage Francochamps in Belgium in November 1989. This is a Non Cat, Non Adjust model with sliding windows. This is a very fine original example of the model that has recently received a major service by Charles Pozzi in Paris and has had the fuel cells pressure tested for potential leaks. The car has covered just 9,800 kms from new.

Are you ready to take some finals?
We can all agree that finals are definitely not the highlight of the year. Finals are not for me, but we all have to take them so why not make the best of it.
Here are some tips for you on how to survive finals with no problem…..
Healthy Eating
Choosing healthy eating options can really help you maintain great focus while studying or taking the actual test. You have probably heard this a bazillion times but make sure you eat a healthy breakfast. It is so important. Some examples of a healthy breakfast could be eggs and toast, a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter, or all natural Greek yogurt with fruit. My advice for you is to stay away from the sugary cereals and breakfast pastries because those foods can make you crash and lose focus fast. Eating a healthy breakfast starts you off right for the day and helps you survive that early morning final with great focus.
Refueling your body is just as important. When your stomach is telling you it's time to "feed me", you will need to put good healthy foods in there. Avoid junk foods like candy, chips, and pastry-like snacks. Trust me, if you put better foods in your body your focus and performance will be much better.
Another little tip is to drinks lots and lots of water. Focus on limiting your intake of soda and other surgery drinks. A challenge for you is to cut soda and other sugary drinks right out of your diet. If you cut out those drinks you will be amazed at how much better you feel.
I can guarantee studying is not on your top 5 favorite things to do. I know it's not on mine! We have to do it so why not make the best of it. The biggest tip I can give you is to not procrastinate. Procrastinating can cause unwanted stress and worry. You will find yourself rushing to study the material and you might miss over some important details about your test. This is not good.
Start studying about 4-7 days before your test. Study a little at a time because you don't want to cram a bunch of information over multiple subjects in one night. You won't retain the information as well as if you studied over a period of time.
When it comes to studying, index cards are so helpful. They help you memorize your information a lot quicker. I love using them. To make studying a little more fun grab some markers or colored pens and when you are writing on you index card use those instead. It jazzes up your studying!
Another tip for you is to ask your teachers if they have any additional study guides you could use to review. Study guides are essential to have when you are studying for a test. Personally, I always preferred to use a study guide because I like to know what the majority of the test will be over. And it's just my luck to study too much of the wrong material.
Get Those Brain Fluids Going!
When studying, it is important to be focused. If your brain is tired your focus is not going to be all there. Here are some tips to get those brain fluids going!
Exercise will help your brain get back its energy. It can be as simple as doing a few sets of push-ups, taking a run around the block, jumping a rope, dancing around your house, or even playing in the yard with your dog. Whatever activity you choose would work.
As I mentioned before, eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water is very important. Your brain really appreciates when you feed your body with healthy nutrients because it benefits you more.
One more tip is to get plenty of rest. You have probably heard this advice more than once. I know I have! But it's true. You want to get plenty of rest so your body can recover and rebuild itself. If you keep treating your body well then your body will return the favor by performing well.
After reading this post, I hope you will use these tips to survive final. As we all know finals can be a nuisance, however if we try to make the best out of them there will be some great results in the end!
P.S. – Summer is almost here. You're close to the finish line. Keep working hard and it will pay off 🙂

I move to the med room and cast a glance over the droid before ascertaining what I already knew; it will not suit my purpose. The tracking device is macroscopic—there truly is no technology for it to be otherwise, especially since Tyrannus needed to utilize it so quickly—but it is small, the size of a datachip. The droid could be programmed to remove shrapnel from a wound, but I can act more quickly than it can, can use the Force to find this intrusion myself, which is safer by far than the clumsy explorations the droid will embark on. I will not risk further damage to scar tissue, further restrictions of movement.
I set my cloak and tunic aside and take a syringe from a cabinet—this is anesthetic, carefully stored since before my near-death—and slip the needle beneath my skin beside the scar. It is an awkward angle; it will be difficult surgery if I do it myself. I do not want to inflict more damage than is necessary.
I must enlist Kenobi's aid, then, although it galls me to ask for it. He has surely been trained in the healing arts, as Jedi react instead of take action. This will be over quickly, and if he thinks to betray me, thinks that my setting a weapon in his hand offers him any sort of superiority, he will find himself gravely mistaken. I hesitate for a moment. Is there a better way? Is there a batter opportunity in which I may give him the false impression that I trust him? I can think of none that would serve so well.
There is a vibroknife which is designed for careful surgery on a shelf nearby, where there are also forceps, and I retrieve them and go back into the main hold. Kenobi is entering it as well, and he stops and looks at me.
I say, "I found the tracking device." After a moment—is that fear trickling through his thoughts?—I am forced to inquire, "Did you hear me, Jedi?"
"Have you disabled it?"
"It is a biological tracking device."
"Biological? As in hidden on your body?"
"In the scar tissue. Tyrannus must have implanted it after our fight." I indicate the scar with the knife. "They taught you healing at your Temple. You must help me remove it."
Kenobi takes the knife. He is, I note, right-handed.
I pull a crate from a nearby storage room—it is the packaging for one Dark Eye droid, one spare—and sit down on it.
I do not want this.
He hesitates, but after a moment the needle touches me, cold and painless, and I can see but not feel it pierce my skin, feel but not see the Force churning in restless emotion beneath Kenobi's façade of calm, beneath the focus on surgery which he insists he maintain (and I am pleased that he does! I will not expose myself to damage because of his lack of discipline). The emotions beneath are not easily named—they are like anger, are like nervousness, but perhaps this is what Jedi Mastery means, this hint of…stoicism that makes the world clear.
It is maddening, how much power is spent on such a useless endeavor. Why clean the world of its imperfections when they can be used? Why stifle power, why not let it take oneself over--
Kenobi, you shall at least be a distraction for Dooku, so that he will turn and look at you and expose his side to me, and I will strike--
I do not want this weakness, of sitting still while the Jedi does his essential work so that our greater mission might succeed. But he is stoic indeed, and I sense that he has found the device, and he reaches aside for the forceps.
(It is almost like my tattooing, this forced stillness, but yet it is entirely unlike that, because here there is no pain, and here there is no trust. And so, I will remove this from my memory quickly.)
These thoughts pass by and are forgotten. Far more comfortable is the now.
I would be able to move beforehand if he tries to kill me. I would, no matter how it would rend my skin to wrest the instruments from his hand.
Quickly enough, he extracts the device. It had simply been emplaced, nesting in the lowest levels of my skin. Subtly frightening. The wound does not bleed much; the vibroknife assures that. But it will need rebandaging. I want to get away from Kenobi quickly and be sure to treat the wound properly—I must not underestimate my guest, although it would be impossible for him to sneak up on me here, or perhaps anywhere. I know the Force more thoroughly than he does.
I stand, ready to let the medical droid finish patching the small wound. Kenobi asks the question I would have asked him if he had not spoken. "What do I do with this?" He holds the device up, a little machine-organ with slick sides and dull lights glowing from with its silver center.
"Destroy it."
I leave him, and close the door of the tiny medbay behind me before sitting down there and summoning the meddroid. Lights run across its surface, gradients of green.
It does its work, sealing the incision with synthskin which will protect and close it. This takes a few minutes; then I replace my tunic and seek out Kenobi, because perhaps he may have motive to keep the tracking device whole—perhaps he can use it somehow so that the Jedi may track us. I must circumvent this possibility.
He is sitting near the doorway of his makeshift quarters, meditating. The Force flows tempered around him, as if he struggles to know it in the way he usually does. Of course—the temple is a bastion of light (and yet so easily deceived--)
I say, "What did you do with the device."
"I destroyed it, as you told me to."
"Relinquish it."
"It's broken. I threw it out."
Anger burns through me—I must not admit that I could have chosen better words. "You did not think that I would want proof of its destruction?"
"I can't be expected to read your mind."
"I do not expect clairvoyance, simply practicality. Do they not teach you that at your temple?"
"Do not presume to know anything about my life or my training," Kenobi snapped, and now, finally, he was letting his anger show its dragon's-face to him, and he almost moved.
How different is the sensation of the Force between when an attack is going to come and when there is simply the potential of one.
Retorts tumble through my thoughts and I rein in a single, coherent one. "No matter the quality of your training, I require your aid. If you do not show yourself capable of giving that aid you are not of use to me." And I'll kill you if you seem liable to fail me, because I simply tolerate your presence here, Jedi.
"If our common mission is to eliminate the threat that Darth Tyrannus presents, then I believe we will be useful to each other."
Of course that is true—it was my motive all along. But now I envision failures of the plan—if Kenobi is cut down too quickly, if he betrays me. I am for a moment wordless (and comfortable there—I should have known, this is just like on Tatooine, I should have known, so much more he should have known, that I am liable to act in certain ways, that this verbal battle is not that at which I am most practiced. But I am distracting myself, careening off into the mists of thoughts which emerge like the subjects of dreams, things which I have been thinking of but not aware of their constant presence. Later--) Back to Kenobi's forced loyalty now. "Perhaps that too is something of which I require proof." I do not expect him to profess allegiance, or to pass a test—but simply to comply, to be able to comprehend what I ask of him. Any less could result only in my own forging of a trap for myself.
I did not plan this endeavor thoroughly enough. He has too much freedom.
He says, "I suppose that for the time being you will simply have to trust me, as I am trusting you."
"You are not trusting me. You are a captive."
He has no answer. I leave him there.
"Are we still on course?"
"Where are we on course to?"
"Nowhere." I look up from my dinner to find the Jedi standing behind the pilot's chair where I am seated, looking down at me. "Random jumps for now, to alleviate pursuit." And to be sure that he was not going to betray me—this ship does not really need conventional methods of hiding. If he asks our eventual destination, I will give it. But Vjun may mean little to him (although it is one crucible after another for me—calm--!) and I will give him no possible method of escape if I can avoid it.
I want to shake my head—I feel like thoughts will splatter on the consoles like blood from a cut if I do. Released from me, they can dry, can congeal, can be thrown away. They need not clutter me. I want action, not this impatient deliberation—
I must be patient.
Breath easing in and out.
The Jedi asks, "And where will we go when you are satisfied we are not being followed?"
"Vjun. Tyrannus has a stronghold there."
He does not move. I push the plate of food I set on the console toward him slightly. "Eat." He needs his strength.
I am forced to pay attention to him again only when he asks, "What is it?" He is holding up a cup of the Iridonian wine, and I tell him so. He drinks, then departs via the turbolift.
I give him a few minutes to pass out. Frail humans. All this sort of alcohol does is stain the teeth of my kind. I do not know how Lord Sidious kept it from fogging his mind.
I find the Jedi lying on the deckplates outside the lift. A crude method, yes, and nearly laughably simple, but easy. He won't bother me for the next twelve hours or so.
I've just made the quick decision to leave him as he is (again—soon he will learn to take care of himself. I suppose it was the Master I killed whom he leaned on--) when he mumbles something. "I thought I was meant to follow your advice."
He is drunk, mired in delusion.
"And when I judge wrong?" he slurs against the deckplates. Uncertain even in his stupors? Pathetic human. Derision compels me; I fold my arms and look down at him, considering how easy it would be to crush the thin bones of his hand with my foot.
I say, "Then you fail."
The Force swirls. He may be delusional; he may be having a vision. The latter could be dangerous to me; he might lash out.
He says, "I will not fail you."
I scoff, amused. Delusion. I walk away.
The thoughts I set aside earlier come to me again as I sit on the edge of my bunk and remember Tatooine. Uncertainty. Alien queries into my own thoughts. Memory.
Like the Dorvallan miners, Queen Amidala is my target, but is little more than an object because she does not know the Force. She is the cargo that I will steal from the Jedi. But the Master and Padawan are the living sparks in the darkness to me, while she is gray, another pawn for my master's army which does not know that it is his.
I know that it would come as a surprise to the Jedi that my master orchestrated the Trade Federation's invasion. Often he leaves me for stretches of time and has his hands in matters too complex for me.
During my first chance to capture the Naboo queen, I am so distracted by the Jedi. We converged, and although I could have snatched her up and flown away, I yearned to test myself. To feel the fray, to fall into the midst of the Jedi and tear them apart, proving that warriors who preach peace make no good guards--! (Hear the threat in my thoughts' voice, Jedi. I will extinguish you.)
The clash with the Master is fast and satisfying, hidden in sun, deadly as the desert.
Amidala escapes, and I rue but only for a moment that I left my ship behind. Now I have the Jedi, and I have been trained for them, not for the mundane--!
But I cannot go against my Master's words, even as actions like chemicals course through me from his conditioning.
I hunt them—the Jedi who do not yet know that they will die, the Queen (my target so hard to focus on), the bright beacon-boy that the Jedi and the Force found on Tatooine, the pack of servants. They run back to Naboo.
And again, I cannot resist. The Jedi give me an opportunity to corner them, to split their group, to cull the weak from the herd…there is a moment of crux; I could either turn aside and pursue her or forge ahead and engage them. The droidekas serve their purpose, menacing the soldiers.
Calmness, waiting, burning, controlled malignancy. I savor the moments while the doors open, when I let them see the way I, as Sidious does, control the fates of them all.
Their lightsabers scream to life, and I can do nothing to stop myself from walking the path they walk, because verbal constructs fail, the hums are behind my eyes, Amidala is gone, surrounded by the universe, and we are outside it, powers, forces, Force-swept, trilogy—white, grey and onyx--!
Memory intoxicates.
Long had Sidious taught me to react at the sound of a lightsaber, to take from it my wrath-fed power. And then he sends me on a mission in which I must choose between two Jedi and one mundane girl—no matter her title, not matter her weapon-skill, she is dim to my strongest sense—and expected me to choose correctly?
I would be so foolish to think him a fool.
He left me to die.
Part of me still admires him. What betrayal, what Sith perfection! How preemptive, if he feared me taking the long-upheld traitorous apprentices' route, and if the death of Kenobi and Jinn was not essential.
But I lived, invincible and patient still.
I cannot—it sours and twists—comprehend being greater than him.
Did he plan this as well? That could be why I am still alive. But Occam's Razor slits a plan like that. And what would Sidious want with Kenobi? With Skywalker?
There. My Master could utilize the beacon.
As if I require more evidence of his desire to replace me.
These thoughts accompany me to sleep. Although I know they are important, a small, weak part of me hopes that in the morning I will have forgotten them.
It is a young part. It is undistinguishable from my relationship with Sidious.
And while I want to preserve it, I know that I must leave it behind.

Ask the Swan Specialist
Date: 21 July 2015
Two weeks ago I found a tiny mute swan cygnet. It was alone and extremely weak, curled together on a field next to the ocean. No sign of any other swans around. I took it home, got it to eat - and now he happily lives in our garden by day, and in a box inside at night. Loves to cuddle.
I am going to leave for studies in august, and I know of a nice park area that wants a swan. I am scared though, will he be able to survive alone that early? He is still only covered in down. I guess he is 3-4 weeks old.
Other questions: The cygnet is pretty lazy, is that normal? He can swim around a little, but prefers to sit still and groom itself for hours. He also has a horrible balance, and only walks a few steps. Can I exercise him?
He has a problem with one of his eyes, but it is getting better since we started giving him eye drops. Could this be a reason for him to be abandoned? I thought mute swans were super protective, what could have happened?
Will he be able to socialize with other swans? Can he be bullied or attacked by other swans as he is smaller? When can a cygnet survive alone? Am I doing anything that sounds wrong?
I'd love answers and advice on what to do. It is not allowed in my country to care for wild animals, so I can't get profesional without risking fines. Hope you can help me.
Greetings from Scandinavia!

Frazier: Favre will stay as Viking QB
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Brett Favre is not going anywhere. Leslie Frazier made that clear yesterday when he became the interim head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.
Frazier replaces the fired Brad Childress - and he says Favre will be the starting quarterback on Sunday when the Vikings play the Washington Redskins.
The 41-year-old Favre sounded like he might retire after Sunday's loss to his old Green Bay Packers. He has not commented on the coaching change. But Frazier says he has full confidence that Favre will re-capture his success from last season - when he handily beat Green Bay twice and almost led the Vikings to a Super Bowl. The 20-year NFL veteran is having one of the worst seasons of his career. He has a league-high 17 interceptions, five lost fumbles, and the league's second-lowest passer rating at 69.8
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune says Frazier is one of Favre's biggest allies on the team - and he tried to be a peace-maker in Favre's distant relationship with Childress. Frazier says there might be tweaks to the offense, but he says Favre will have to play within the system. And Frazier believes all his players understand that and want to be part of a successful group. Minnesota is 3-7 after the Packer loss.

Stansberry's Credit Opportunities
Stansberry's Credit Opportunities is Porter's advanced research service designed to find the best investment opportunities in the distressed corporate bond market. The goal is to find bonds that yield between 10%-20% annually and have the potential to earn subscribers 50%-100% capital gains at maturity.
Porter and his team look for two major things in Stansberry's Credit Opportunities investment: safety and a high potential return. They use bonds to find them.
In short, buying bonds for pennies on the dollar is the absolute best way to make a fortune in the markets.
As a bondholder, you are simply loaning money at a set rate for a predetermined period of time. As long as the bond issuer doesn't default, you are entitled to receive the par value of the bond at maturity, plus interest payments.
As bondholders, you don't have to guess who has the best widget or which style of clothing people will like from year to year. You just loan money. You simply have to tear through a company's books and determine if it can pay you off in the time period your bonds are "in play."
Bond investing requires a little extra work to place a trade. And you must be patient. But the rewards can be outstanding. You can make high double and triple-digit returns without having to worry about what the overall stock market is doing. You know exactly when you'll get paid and what the exact returns will be. Once you understand the strategy and have invested this way for a while, you may never buy a stock again.

This is Karen from Starshine Salon.
Sin City Stamps has two new plates of Alice in Wonderland stamps! You can see them here and here.
I decided to create a Wonderland Tea with mine. The first piece I made was a centerpiece for the table.
I started with a vintage linen centerpiece. I love the lace border! A little dip in tea hid some stains, and I decided to place my panels so that one of them would hide the hole.
I stamped the images onto tea dyed muslin. Stamping on fabric usually works best with tightly woven fabrics. For this project, I chose a piece of muslin that was smooth but not stiff, so that it didn't interfere with the soft hand of the linen. I used Colorbox Chalk Ink in Dark Brown and heat set the images with an iron. For more information on stamping on fabric, check out this post.
I like to stamp onto a piece of fabric that I can discard if the image doesn't come out well. I also like to stamp on a piece of fabric that is larger than I think I will need, and then trim the fabric later. That way if I stamp crooked or off-center, I can make up for that when I trim the piece.
I trimmed all the pieces to the same size using a rotary cutter. Then I pinned them in place on the centerpiece.
I stitched each piece down with a zigzag stitch. Then I added vintage lace around each panel.
I'm still contemplating what other pieces I will make for my Wonderland Tea. I hope you'll check back and see what I come up with!
On these pages you will find the awesome projects created by our fabulous Inspiration Team. At Sin City Stamps, we are proud to offer deep etched red rubber stamps, hand made in the USA. From vintage to grunge and many themes in between, come check out our awesome stamp line! Want to get stamps made from your own designs? We can help, contact us!

Performance appraisals are viewed by many small businesses as a necessary evil. Managers hate: the bureaucracy, the form filling, the sheer emotional awkwardness, and the fact that they don't seem to change behaviour that much. And employees hate them for pretty much the same reason. One or two companies such as the SAS Institute and Glenroy Inc have taken the extreme measure of burning their employee appraisal forms as a public declaration of contempt for the process, such is the dissatisfaction with the appraisal process.
But, I wouldn't go this far, as research by Kluger shows that appraisals do improve team performance on average, but since 30% of appraisals do actually decrease performance, most appraisal process should be considered a work in progress rather than the finished product.
So, what steps can you take to improve you performance appraisal process, and which don't involve setting any paper alight? There are several less dramatic and terminal steps you can take to improve your appraisal process and these are are follows.
1. Have your appraisals occur more regularly, ideally monthly as research from Bersin by Deloitte shows that employers who adopt monthly performance reviews have 31% greater investment returns.
2. Appraisals should be more of a carrot than a stick. This study from globoforce shows that 90% of employees see positive feedback as more motivating then negative feedback. Also, research, such as this study from Michigan State University shows that carrots are more motivational than sticks. Get the message? Try addressing negative feedback in less of a critical, punitive manner, but more in a development manner by offering employees incentives such as a small bonus, pay rise etc.. if they can develop skills or competencies in a specific area. Don't scrap appraisals, but don't use them to beat your staff up.
3. Appraisals should be a catalyst for personal and career growth. The globoforce study showed that 70% of employees want appraisals to help them with their personal and career growth, which seems a noble and reasonable ambition. So, make sure to have a free flowing discussion with your employee prior to the appraisal to understand and agree their personal development and career aspirations. Then use the appraisal process to help them develop skills which will help them reach their personal and career development goals. Employees will value the appraisals more, as not only will they focus around them meeting company performance goals, they will also be geared to helping the employee reach their personal development and career ambitions.
So, in conclusion, you shouldn't scrap appraisals, but you certainly should give them a full service and MOT, so they are fit for purpose.

A dehydrated, underweight and hypothermic olive ridley sea turtle was rescued from a beach at Camp Pendleton Thursday, according to SeaWorld San Diego.
Veterinarians said the turtle had some damage to its shell and ingested some plastic trash.
Plastic bags are mistaken for food by sea turtles and can cause intestinal problems.
"Sea turtles tend to feed on jellyfish -- plastic trash that floats in the ocean is often mistaken for jellyfish," said Dr. Hendrik Nollens, a SeaWorld veterinarian. "This is a perfect example of why we need to keep marine debris, especially plastics, out of our oceans."
The 42-pound turtle is less than half the weight of what the species can reach. Its sex and age were undetermined.
Park officials are treating the sea turtle with fluids and antibiotics, and said they hope to return it to the wild this summer.
SeaWorld San Diego rescues nearly 400 marine animals and birds each year.
The olive ridley sea turtle species that breeds along the coast of Mexico is considered endangered, while those in other areas are listed as threatened, according to SeaWorld.

The image on the Flaming Basketball Visa Gift Card is best thought of in the context of celebrating a red-hot basketball team or player. The alternative seems to be honoring people with prefrontal cortex developmental issues (that would be all teenagers) who have difficulty making good decisions and like to post flaming basketball tricks on video sharing sites.

Otto and electro
In automobile manufacture, hybrid drives usually combine a combustion engine with an electric motor. Both drives can take on different tasks such as supporting acceleration via boosting, recovering energy during braking (recuperation) or charging a battery – through to pure electric driving.
The GETRAG dual clutch transmission can be hybridised according to the torque-split principle. This means the original drivetrain does not have to be changed as the electric motor is mounted directly on the transmission.

Happy Birthday Avatar!
The symbol to the right is a stylised version of my initials "LD" which is a sigil for my work. It is meant to look something like an opening heart.
Numerologically my name calculates to an 11/2 which is the number of the Spiritual Messenger. My birth date number is the same so I get two hits on that front. It's a lot to live up to, LOL.
Needless to say, I have been interested in all things esoteric from an early age but my main love in that respect is Tarot.
One of my other interests is old movies and culture, so I created the Golden Age of Hollywood Tarot Deck. The deck employs Old Hollywood movies and personalities to convey the meanings of the standard Rider Waite System (RWS) of Tarot.
My next deck is also about culture but with a very different twist. Stay tuned.
Now for some pictures of the lovely Anita Ekberg...
Cavorting in the Trevi Fountain...
Other images from La Dolce Vita...
She was very beautiful ...
Later years...
Most recently Ms Ekberg has fallen on hard times suffering from poor health and a robbery and fire at her home.
We wish her better things in the coming year.
We will leave with a quote from her from the Irish Examiner in 2013...
Claiming never to have under-gone plastic surgery, Ekberg believes "women who do that are crazy".
"Forget about the surgeons lifting things, each age has its own charm, it's all about living life to the full," she tells me. "Age is a state of mind, who is growing old? I am certainly not, my mind is as clear as when I was 20."
Happy 80th birthday Sophia!

The Matriarch/Empress in the Golden Age of Hollywood Tarot Deck
Key Words - Nurture. Fertility. Abundance. Cornucopia. Safety.
The Matriarch is the embodiment of mother love. Seated on her beautiful throne, with her cat, she is a symbol of fertility. She is blessed by the stars and surrounded by all good things that have flown from her cornucopia – flowers, wheat, fruit, nuts, money, luck and love. She symbolises nurturance, safety and growth. She is a safe haven, a place where the inner child grows and develops. A fierce protector when the need arises.
When you get the Matriarch, the advice is to look to your support systems especially your informal nurturing networks. They will be looking out for you. Things will develop in an organic rather than structured way.
I want to be alone...
Her androgynous appeal endeared her to both men and women and Garbo was reputedly bisexual although this was not public knowledge during her lifetime.
Garbo retired relatively early at the age of 36 having made 28 feature films in the previous 16 years. She continued to be offered roles all of which she rejected.
"I was tired of Hollywood. I did not like my work. There were many days when I had to force myself to go to the studio ... I really wanted to live another life."
Hollywood had played on this reclusiveness weaving it into parts of her dialogue in a number of films. But she later remarked about her private life,
"I never said, 'I want to be alone; I only said, 'I want to be let alone.' There is a world of difference."
Her later years were characterised by melancholy and a continuing avoidance of the limelight. She became an art collector and at her death had amassed a substantial and valuable collection.
The Four of Cups is a card that indicates ennuie, boredom, too much of a good thing.
When you get this card you are in a funk, bored with life and all it's offerings. You want to be left alone. The things that used to inspire, no longer do. I sometimes call this the hangover card – too much of a good thing, possibly at the party with the Three of Cups!
The advice when you get this card is that it is time to get out and about. Go for a run, start that book, watch a movie. Anything to take your mind off yourself for a while. Your funk will pass.
The Four of Cups in the Golden Age of Hollywood Tarot is modelled on Greta Garbo as Mata Hari (1931) and is intended to evoke her famous desire to be 'let alone'. Reclusive to a fault, Garbo shunned publicity throughout her career.
How they've changed!
Scenes from the movie...
The legend of the vampire is one of the most lasting themes in movies and culture since Bram Stoker's Dracula was published in 1897. Nosferatu (1922) was an unauthorised rip off of the novel and Stoker's heirs succeeded in gaining a court ruling to have all copies destroyed. Fortunately for us, one copy survived.
There have been many depictions ranging from Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Anne Rice's Lestat through to the more recent TrueBlood series from HBO. There are few spectres that constantly rise from the dead like the vampire tale and it is constantly being refreshed.
And yet these vampires, they seem to get ever more beautiful...
...from the 1994 movie adaptation of Anne Rice's "Interview with a Vampire".
Until there is this...
...my personal favourite.
How to read XIII Transformation
Usually called the "Death" card - number 13 of the major arcana. Some people find this card quite disturbing when they draw it in a spread. In the Golden Age of Hollywood deck I have called it "Transformation" as that is how it is usually interpreted. In my view it is the major tipping point card of the tarot deck. There are a number of cards that are also tipping points including The Wheel of Fortune and the Knights (or Foci in this deck), but this one is the most potent.
This card takes it's meaning very much from the surrounding cards in a spread. When you get this card, the advice is to go with the flow - swimming against the tide isn't advised. The change in front of you isn't optional. You will end up in a better place but things might feel chaotic and uncertain for a time. Your opportunity here is to work with the change and grow rather than resist it and languish.
The Transformation card indicates changes that feel quite sudden, irrevocable and inexplicable, and are often life-changing. Sometimes major change feels terrible as it requires new skills, talents, resources and often relationships, but this always makes way for something new and better.

Happy Birthday Gene Kelly
Happy Birthday Gene Kelly (1912-1996) and thank you for all the wonderful movies you danced, sang or acted in, as well as the ones you directed produced or choreographed, particularly Singin' in the Rain (1952) the inspiration for the Eight of Wands in the Golden Age of Hollywood Tarot Deck.
Singin' in the Rain tops the AFI's Greatest Movie Musicals list. It also ranks fifth in the AFI's Greatest American Movies list.
The Eight of Wands is about success and happiness - everything's coming up roses, so to speak! All your hard work and plans are coming to fruition. Gene Kelly certainly epitomised that!

At least publicly, Jon Jones doesn't appear too worried about losing to Daniel Cormier at UFC 200. He's already defeated the former Olympic wrestler convincingly and the only reason they are fighting again is because Jones was stripped of the title and Cormier won the belt in his absence.
Now Jones is looking to reclaim his belt, following suspension and one return win over Ovince St-Preux.
Jones is so confident that he's sort of treating the Cormier bout like it's a tune-up for something greater. What could that be? Jones wants to fight the one man who nearly beat him, and the one man who some feel was robbed of a decision victory: Alexander Gustafsson.
"Alexander Gustafsson was my toughest fight," Jones said in a recent interview with Champions MMA. "The fight we all need to be talking about is Alexander Gustafsson."
Jones is acknowledging that five-round epic battle that could have gone either way in the decision. It was the first fight where Jones was battered, bruised and nearly defeated. Jones rallied in the in the final rounds to eek out the decision, but not before Gustafsson proved that a long, tall guy like Jones can pose problems for the fighter. On that night, Gustafsson showed that the supposed pound-for-pound best was possibly beatable.
That epic fight from 2013 fight was never rematched. Gustafsson was then knocked out by Anthony "Rumble" Johnson and Jones experienced much personal turmoil outside of the cage. If Jones defeats Cormier, a Gustafsson fight could be right around the corner.
"He is the one who came inches away from winning," Jones said. "That is the fight I will probably lose sleep going into."
Jones said fighting Cormier is like fighting Rashad Evans or Glover Teixeira again. He said he beat all of those guys convincingly.
"Actually, I am just a lot better a fighter than D.C.," Jones said.
He said he even wants to fight Rumble Johnson, the guy who KO'd Gustafsson.
"I feel like fighting Anthony Johnson and Alexander Gustafsson are two really big, important steps in my whole story," Jones said.

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.
Hello Guys,
i want to do a little Guide for one of my favorite chars... WU KONG !!!
So there are already Builds, which works ... sure ... but i enjoy this one alot, because you dont have a real Counter (except of Darius read below).
The funny thing on this build is ... you just got Tank or Offtank Stuff and you are still doing enogh dmg to kill everything.
Just test it out :)
Pros / Cons
Here are the Pros:
+ Very Tanky
+ Still Good DMG
+ Nice Escapes
But as all Builds there a some contras too:
- Miss a bit DMG at Midgame
- Darius f***s you hard
- Vs. Fulltank Enemys you need Jungle Ganks Earlygame
But overall you get a very complete Champ here.
Okay why do i choose this Masteries ?
Pretty easy, you got 4% Cooldown reduction ! And Dmg + enough Armor to stay top very long.
You wont need that %atk speed and Crit dmg because you just got 15% crit in this Build which is kinda useless to waste the Masterypoints on that.
You can go for 13 / 17 / 0 too if you think you are too sqishy at start and want some more def and HP, but i don`t really need more Def at my style of playing him on top lane.
Okay thats the most important Point on this Guide...
Why do i choose these runes ... ?!?
I`d like to have 40% cooldown reduce on Wu kong, not only for the Ultimate which is very good to bring alot of cc and dmg in teamfights ... you also can ALWAYS get back close to everybody because you got only 4 Sec cooldown on your Jump (E) AND only 3 Sec for your Armor ignore (Q) Skill.
It may look a bit wild to you, because i mixed so many runes and mostly you got 9x same runes, but it issn`t.
I tried to get 6% Cooldown reduction at a Runebuild for AD Tops, so i just stacked Glyphes first but you waste too much % with the 8th Glyphe.
So I took 1 Glyphe out and put 1 Seal with cooldown reduce in for that and still got 6,19%
The Value of Cooldown Reduce at this Runes here on Mobafire don`t fit with the Game !!!!
Seals with Cooldown reduce: 0,36%
Glyphes with Cooldown reduce: 0,83%
7 * 0,83% + 1 * 0,36% = 6,19%
The Rest i think is explaining for themselves.
Marks: Armor Penetration > AD dmg ... thats why 9x
Quints: 1x Armor Penetration, 2x Flat AD Dmg
Seals: 8x Flat Armor (because you nearly always got AD champs infront of you)
Glyphes: 2x Magic Resistance per level (just to fill the blue ones and get a bit more magic def)
Okay theres not much new EXCEPT of Zeke´s Herald, which is one of the most underrated Items in LoL. 10% Lifesteal + DMG + HP + 20% !!!!!!! Cooldown reduction is just a really good Offtank Item and you support your adc and mosty your jungle too !
Together with The Black Cleaver 10% and Runes/Masterys 10% you`ll get your 40% max cooldown reduce.
I think i gave you with the purchase order a pretty good one, which i mostly use, but afforts sometimes to change a bit... the core item are still the same.
If you have to play vs. an AP champ at top like ... Teemo, Nida, Dianna or something like that, i recomment to finish boots first and only buy Ruby Crystal from Phage before finish it.
And sometimes your Mid fails and feed a bit, or the Enemy has alot of AP DMG, i recomment to buy Guardian Angel BEFORE Atmas. (Remember you are more like a tank and you don`t need that extra dmg that much)
But this is situational and you have to decide what you do and what item is better for you in that moment.
I don`t exactly write that you ALWAYS have to buy (as long as you stay on Top Lane) or at least have in inventory: 2x Healpot and 1x Ward, to reward your Toplane and get a little bit more sustain from the Pots.
There is no discussion here!
Port to get a kill or get away and Barrier just OP at Top Lane!
I`ve tried other Summoner Spells too, but nothing was that effective as Barrier is for Wu Kong.
But if you dont like that Summoner Spell you can take Exhauste too, i just recommended Barrier.
Ranked Play
Okay now i want to explain WHY i use 40% cooldown with Wu Kong.
(This works nearly everytime except vs. Darius so make sure enemy didn`t pick Darius or he was Banned)
You start on Boots, 1 Ward, 2 Heal pots.
Place the Ward at Min 2.00 on the middle of the River so you see somebody comming to don`t get earlyganked from enemy Jungler.
Than just keep farming without using Skills and with lvl 2 you start to harass the enemy q -> e -> + normal hit and go back, cost your enemy (when its not a fulltank) 30-40% of his life
and just keep on lasthitting creeps till level 3 -> e -> q -> 1-2 hits -> w
okay there is the first point here where you can get your first kill maybe ! if your enemy is not running ... just keep on hitting him and use your barrier maybe if needed ... he will run or port ->
just port behind use E (thx to 10% cooldown reduce you got this rdy again) and q -> firstblood
Port Back imidiatly !!! you should have like 700-750g now and be close to lvl 4
Buy Long sword, 1 ward, 2 healpots and get back to lane. your enemy is back at the same time like you, maybe a littlebit earlier.
Place a new Ward at Min 5:00, and just keep on harassing. GG you won ur lane!
(make sure you do my item purchase order)
At Midgame you got a little bit too low dmg to really instant kill something unless you got Atma`s Impaler ... BUT ... you ae so F**king tanky that you alone can make sure your team is winning the midgame Teamfights. Jump (E) -> Hit (Q) -> Ult (R) [maybe + Barrier] and get out with w ...
You dont get a kill maybe BUT your Teammates will do and ou got 5 Assists ;)
If you finished Frozen Mallet you can go and hunt solo farmers on the lanes ... thx to Jump (E) 4 sec and Hit (Q) 3 sec (Frozen Mallet works with your q), you got permanent the armor ignore on your enemys, permanent slow, and you get even somebody like Ezreal, because your Jump is faster rdy than his.
You got Fullbuild ? N1 ... welcome to the ROFL Land ! ... just jump in ROLFCOPTER with ur ult and see your enemys running ... or do they focus u ? No problem you got 3,2k hp and enough armor/magic def to always get away alive.
All together that Build is a very tanky Build for Wu Kong, you may not do this massive Burst DMG like you`ll do on other Builds, but i prefer (and many others do too) a tanky Toplane.
But as you can see on Examples, it deals enough DMG to get the one or other kill.
Hey, if you tested this Build or just read it, pls give me comments or votes and maybe if you played it and you like it send me some images per pn and i take that into my publication.
I hope you get as much Fun with that Build, as i do ^^
PS: if you`ve found some type / grammer or other Mistakes ... keep and have fun with them :p

Unanswered: Can I run a select statement w/o specifing the owners table name?
Can I run a select statement w/o specifing the owners table name?
How is it possible to run a select query without specifing the owners table name?
For example:
To use:
Query1: Select * from customers;
instead of
Query 2: Select * from user1.customers;
Now, when user1 or even user2 tries to open the Query1 I get the error that object 'customers' does not exist.

You can run it with out the owner name, if you are logged in as the object owner. Otherwise, you have to specify it.
