text: A Kenai Penninsula wedding weekend it was! Philip in Moose Pass and Karen and I both in Cooper Landing shooting with Josh and Heather.. 5 Chugach'ers down south in one day! Good times. Josh and I tore up Laura and Charle's wedding and took so many photos, I don't even want to edit this wedding now. There's thoussssands and thousssands… I think Josh must have just held the motor drive and walked around all day with a 200 gig hard drive on his back. I might have done something similar too. Either way, there were so many cool spots we went to with such a cast of characters that this blog post won't do it justice as is typical of these posts. You really need to just sift through an entire wedding to understand all the stuff we're getting. Anyway – the wedding was great and Laura and Charles were great too. They were married at the Alaska Heavenly Lodge, which I must say, is a pretty heavenly place to take wedding photos if you're into good backdrops and mountain beauty. If you're not into those things, you might not like it. As you can see from the pics, these two are totally cute together and despite the constant threat of rain, the weather held strong and it was a good day!

South Korean ferry disaster company's licence to be revoked
Related topics
Watch: S. Korea ferry owner detained, presented to media
South Korea is to revoke the licence of the company which owns the ferry that sank with the loss of around 300 lives last month, as prosecutors prepare manslaughter charges against its chief executive.
Kim Han-sik, head of Chonghaejin Marine, was arrested at his home south of Seoul yesterday and taken into custody in the southwestern port city of Mokpo.
"Kim faces various charges including manslaughter and violating maritime law," senior prosecutor Yang Jong-jin said.
The charges stem from allegations that Kim was involved in, or turned a blind eye to, the overloading of the Sewol's cargo consignment - seen as a major contributing factor to its capsize on April 16.
Meanwhile the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries said it planned to close down Chonghaejin's ferry operations entirely.
In a statement, the ministry said it would begin by revoking the company's licence to operate the route taken by the Sewol from the western port of Incheon to the southern island of Jeju.
At the same time it would pressure the owners to give up the licences to its two other routes between the mainland and outlying islands.
"The name of Chonghaejin Marine Co will never be allowed to darken the ferry industry again," a ministry spokesman said.
Handcuffed and wearing a cap and surgical mask that hid his face, Kim was paraded before television cameras after he was detained.
"I apologise to the victims and the families," he said. He then refused to answer further questions from reporters, staying silent with his head bowed.
The captain of the Sewol ferry has already been arrested along with 14 crew members and four lower-ranking Chonghaejin Marine officials.
The ferry had 476 people on board when it sank after listing sharply to one side and then rolling over. Initial investigations suggest it was carrying up to three times its safe cargo capacity.
The confirmed death toll stood at 269 yesterday, with 35 people still unaccounted for.
Ko Myung-sok, spokesman for the federal disaster force, said operations to recover the remaining bodies had been repeatedly suspended because of treacherous conditions at sea.
"So far, 24 divers have been treated for injuries and decompression sickness," Ko said.
The death of a diver on Tuesday has fuelled debate as to how long the recovery operation should continue. The deciding factor so far has been the sensitivities of the relatives of those still unaccounted for.
The coastguard has promised that the giant floating cranes to be used in the salvage operation will only be brought in once all the bodies trapped in the submerged ship have been retrieved.
But with some bodies being recovered several kilometres away in the past week, it is unclear how many remain trapped.

Melia Robinson/Business InsiderOf course Bryan Cranston participated in his high school's chemistry club.
The actor starred as Walter White, a high-school chemistry teacher turned meth-industry kingpin, in AMC's critical darling "Breaking Bad."
We found other celebrities' pasts less predictable.
Basketball star George Clooney tried out for the Cincinnati Reds, Tom Cruise studied at a Catholic seminary, and James Franco interned at Lockheed Martin.
But there were a few common threads: A lot of them spent time in the principal's office, and most of them knew from the start that they wanted to take over Hollywood.

On Oct. 29th, Hurricane Sandy barreled through the New York area, hitting the Rockaway peninsula especially hard. West End Temple, a fixture in the Neponsit section of the Rockaways since it was founded in 1939, was flooded with up to five feet of water on its first floor, buckling its floors and ruining much of the interior. Odyssey Networks spent a day with temple leaders and volunteers as they began the process of digging out, and moving forward.

Travel Planning Advice – Part 2
If you were following along with your own trip in mind, you should have a compiled list of all of the things your group would like to see, ranked in order of what your group would like to see the most, and a map with all of these places laid out on it. If you haven't done that yet, I suggest you go back and do that before reading this article any further. It will be awfully difficult to start planning the "how", or the logistics, of your trip if you don't yet know what you want to see and where those things are. Continue reading

Kayle Build Guide by gromesh

Kayle 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.
A word to the start
and i must first apologize for the less amount of pictures and maybe a bit for my english.
I hope you still like the guide and i promise i will soon change it,which means that i show more pictures and proves,but at the moment my computer has a problem it has to be fixed but i dont know why i just wanted to make a guide to show how great AD Kayle is.
Mobafire is great btw.
Chapter 2
In a world far away where an ancient war still rages, Kayle was a great hero - the strongest of an immortal race committed to destroying evil wherever it could be found. For ten thousand years, Kayle fought tirelessly for her people, wielding her flaming sword forged before time itself. She shielded her delicate features beneath her enchanted armor, the sole remaining masterpiece of an extinct race of craftsmen. Though a beautiful, striking creature, Kayle, now as then, avoids showing her face; war has taken a terrible toll upon her spirit. In her quest for victory, she sometimes would try to lift the wicked up from their morass of evil, but more than often she instead purged those she herself deemed beyond redemption. To Kayle, justice can so often be an ugly thing.
Ten years ago, Kayle's war against evil was nearly won... until her rebellious sister Morgana, a pariah amongst their people, suddenly gained powerful new allies: magicians of a hitherto unknown world called Runeterra. Morgana traded servitude to a number of the summoners in Runeterra's League of Legends for powerful new abilities that, if mastered, threatened to bring Kayle and her people to their knees. To save her world, Kayle had no choice but to make a pact with the League herself. She approached the leader of the League, High Counselor Reginald Ashram, with a deal of her own. In exchange for a thousand years of Kayle's service, Ashram halted all League interference on Kayle's world. With Ashram's disappearance five years ago, Kayle has new causes on Valoran: find out who or what caused Ashram to disappear, defeat her sister Morgana upon the Fields of Justice, and bring her own brand of justice to the League of Legends.
''In the League of Legends, Justice comes on swift wings.''
Chapter 3
Most people really underestimate Kayle.
It is really hard for you to talk to others when they hear that you want to be solo Top with Kayle and not even AP or Hybrid built.
But after 15 minutes they all congratulate you and just say how owerpowerded AD Kayle is.
Your focus is at your e attack called Righteous Fury. When you activate it you get a nice range vs your opponents and often at solo top you dont fight vs champs who are solo top champs,even though they have skills that are ranged,for instance the stun of Sion or Gankplank´s shot.
Try to push your opponent often with an activated e.If you see he is running from you press q and activate your Reckoning,it will slow down your enemy and Righteous Fury will make even longer,which means more^^ Damage. The w spell is when you play Kayle as an AD Kayle not so strong but still it is very useful because who ever gets the heal of Kayle´s Divine Blessing will get movement speed for 3 seconds,very good to chase champions or escape from them.
The Ulti is the reason why Kayle can win even a 1on5 if you time it right.
Intervention can be cast on yourself and to your teammates !!!never forget this.
When cast you are immun to any dmg in the game and i experienced too often that this 3 seconds can decide a teamfight.
The passiv:Holy Fervor - When Kayle attacks a champion, the target loses 3% Armor and Magic Resistance for 5 seconds. This effect stacks up to 5 times;makes Kayle in my opinion one of the best solo Tops ever.
Pro and Cons
+The passiv in combination with Madreds is very good also vs very tanky champs
+ Righteous Fury gives range
+Kayle´s w gives movement speed to chase or escape easily
+Reckoning slows down enemies
+you kill minions and towers very fast,thanks to your built and your Righteous Fury
+the ulti is one of the best teamfight ultis and will save your life very often
+Kayle is a champ that can make Pentakills and keep his mates alive,thumps up !
-long cooldown at e and in my opinion a bit too long at q
-Kayle is very squishy
-in early game you get high mana problems;you can buy mana pots,but that of course costs gold
-very depended at Righteous Fury;if this is at cooldown you need good movement and AD runes.
Summoner Spells
I take Ignite because it deals rather good damage to your enemy and halfs his heal.
And flash is good to escape;it is very useful in early and mid games when you have low mana or you need to chase someone but your Righteous Fury is at cooldown then you may use flash.
I also recomend to take spells like exhaust,which slows down enemies or you take Ghost by yourself.
If you sometimes think you need to make backdoor pushes to help your team and you will see with Kayle as AD you make very fast damage at towers you should take Teleport.
Well dont take Heal it is wasted spell for a solo Top and smite is just for junglers,surge is good for Kayle if you are AP or Hybrid but not as an AD.
Farming with Kayle is very nice.
Thanks to Righteous Fury you are in Range to your enemy champion and of course to your enemy minions.
Kayle is even very strong vs. Superminions.
Dont waste spells like Reckoning or your ulti for minions but Righteous Fury is very strong and helpful to farm.
I often have the most minions in a game farmed;even more than the carry.

Hankering for an episodic steampunk ghost story rock opera set in the Steel Tycoon era of Pittsburgh's Industrial Revolution? The project, fiscally sponsored by NSR, "is designed to take the things that people enjoy about opera, namely quality singing and the spectacle of world-building, and combine it with modern story-telling & technology through the art of film."
The performers (including costumer & vocalist Liz Richel, whose previous credits include her own production, "Evenings in Quarantine: The Zombie Opera") are involved in every aspect of Steam the Opera, from writing an original story, to composing & performing all of the music, and each performing as a character.
Donations will go toward professional recording & mastering at Mr. Smalls (via the Creative.Life.Support. program), constructing a large steampunk machine, costume research & design, and renting a warehouse space in which to build & film.

Government Grant Money Needed For Anxious Family Of MS Disabled Father
by Lisa
(Cincinnati, Ohio, USA)
We need some grant money help and fast! I'm a mother of four boys and one of them has Down's syndrome.
Four years ago my husband was a mechanic. He started to have lots of medical problems, which they now think is MS.
He hasn't worked 'cause he can't balance, sit, walk for short amounts of time and many other things.
He's being treated for this and for depression and so am I.
We adopted our five-year-old grandson who just lost his mother Tuesday from a heroin overdose.
I can only work 25 hours a week or the county takes our medical card, which I need for hubby.
We have fallen so far behind in our rent that if it's not paid in full or darn close to it by August 31 we will be homeless and my grandson will return to the county.
I don't want this to happen. I have called and went to every organization that I could apply at and there is just no help.
My Down's syndrome son Michael is close to his school and doctors. So is my son Shawn and my grandson Donnie.
Please, please help us with some kind of government grant. We have nowhere to go. I'm scared 'cause I feel like I'm failing as a mother and a wife.

Johnson's fourth 1890s romance (after Sweet as the Devil) skimps on the plot but not the passion. Griselda MacKenzie is brazen, confident, and independent. At a country house party, she's introduced to wildly handsome libertine Alec Munro, earl of Dalgliesh. He wants her in his bed, but she hesitates because he's married. This morality feels out of place among the cast of adulterous thousands, especially considering how quickly Zelda succumbs to temptation, and reformed rakes extolling monogamy are hard to take seriously. Zelda loves sex, Alec is only slightly daunted by her forward manner, and the bedroom scenes feel like one long and somewhat repetitive bacchanal. Only true fans will be able to plow through the endless orgy and wearisome discussions of how and when Alec will divorce his wife so he and Zelda can be together forever. (Dec.)
Good versus evil
Larissa Ione builds a complex world brimming with legends and supernatural beings in Immortal Rider. The only female among the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Limos has been engaged to Satan since infancy—yet a sexy human, Arik Wagner, snares her attention. He feels the attraction, too, but a single kiss sends him to a hellish torture chamber. Complicating matters, Limos is cursed with her brothers to lead the world into Armageddon. They have dodged calamity until recently, when one of the Horsemen began working on the side of evil. Now Limos must rescue the blameless Arik while also keeping clear of her now-demonic brother. Once free, Arik realizes he wants the beautiful immortal more than ever. Is there a way to release Limos from the ancient betrothal? Can they be together without unleashing more dark forces into a world braced for the end times? A sizzling story filled with adventure, violence and the tug-of-war between good and evil, Immortal Rider sets the stage for further battle in this series.
As hot as its title, Seductive as Flame by Susan Johnson is a smoldering love story set in the England of 1894. During a country party, independent Scottish beauty Zelda MacKenzie meets the seductive Alec Munro, Earl of Dagliesh. Theirs is an instant attraction of two sophisticated, headstrong people, and while Zelda briefly resists, entering into an affair with Alec is impossible to refuse—despite the fact that he's married. Everyone knows Alec's marital arrangement is miserable—with his spouse to blame—but Zelda figures her heart is safe against the Earl, who goes through lovers at a world-renowned rate. Yet it seems Alec's legendary casualness is over once he comes under Zelda's spell. Soon he finds himself imagining a happier life, with Zelda at his side and his small stepson as part of their family. But will his witch of a wife let him and the boy go? Can Zelda trust in Alec's promises? Filled with scorching love scenes and a hero and heroine who have sacrificed much for family, Seductive as Flame is an erotic and entertaining read.
Published posthumously, Beverly Barton's Dead by Nightfall is a chilling romantic thriller that wraps up mysteries exposed in the first two books of her Dead By trilogy. The Powell Private Security and Investigation Agency goes on high alert when Nicole, wife of the agency's founder, wealthy Griffin Powell, is kidnapped . . . by a man Griffin thought he had killed 20 years before. It appears the sadistic and vengeful Malcolm York has risen from the dead and is back with his sexual and violent games. When she was taken, Nic had been in the process of leaving Griffin due to long-buried secrets. Will he get a chance to win her back?

The other day a two-year-old touring NYC with her parents fell into the East River.She darted away, slipped and slid saliently into the water in an instant. Fortunately, she was saved by her alert father within moments. He's my hero. As a Mom with ADHD and three young and impulsive children (including a two-year-old) I can relate.
Thank God we've been blessed to have avoided near-death experiences, but I completely understand both the sheer terror of such a situation and the reality of how easily that could happen. I know that a child can move fast and can often be unpredictable. In addition, my own distractibility can be difficult to keep in check when I am somewhere with a lot of visual stimulus, so keeping a close eye on my little ones can be a challenge. Therefore, I AM that Mom in the store with the two-year-old tethered on what seems to be a leash. 😉
I've found the wrist-to-wrist link a helpful and practical solution to the battle of wills with my toddler in a store. The rule is: if she is going to walk then she must hold my hand (anyone with a toddler knows that loses luster fast) or hold on to the bracelet/leash. (OK, wear it). I've even tried to make it beautiful with ribbons which she loved, but inevitably even that is not enough. There are times when she just can't stand not being able to run, walk away, or hide. I feel for her little free spirit, I do, but keeping her safe comes first for me!
I have gotten everything from praise and laughter to raised eyebrows and even rather nasty looks for this very visual representation of my parenting choice to do what I can to keep my child safe. I understand my personal attention challenges and the developmentally appropriate impulsivity of my two year old and I am doing the very best I can in order to teach my child limits and boundaries while respecting her need for independence and choice. There have been a few instances when my child threw a grand mall tantrum amidst the aisles of some store while tethered in protest of the confining reigns of Mom. She did not want to be in the cart, she did not want to hold my hand, and she did not want to wear the bracelet, but it was the lesser of the three evils so to speak as it minimized the power struggle. She screamed and rolled around on the floor as toddlers do while I leaned against a wall in embarrassment and self-doubt, with the other bracelet on and still tethered to her. I'd like to say that I calmly waited for her to stop and I read a book or something, but no, I just waited red-faced and tried to breathe. My anxiety was through the roof.
When she was finally calm and could choose to either walk with me or ride in the cart, I told her we could keep going through the store. The plan was if she didn't stop the tantrum in 15 minutes then I'd pick her up and leave. I only had to do that once and it was more like 25 minutes of on-and-off-again tantrums; she did not want to stay with me at all, so we left! I didn't get what I went to the store for that day and we were both mad as we got in the car, but at least I was able to leave with my child rather than the unthinkable, and hopefully she learned the lesson I'm trying to teach her: Stay with Mommy in stores and busy places so you are safe and don't get lost.
As my older children have grown I've slowly introduced the concepts of being lost and helping them problem solve what to do if that happens through role playing with me, and having them demonstrate it (under my supervision) in various stores and public locations. Yes, I still hold my tether per se with them too. We have also talked about the ways someone might easily lure them into believing or befriending them and possibly wanting them to follow them. We've talked about what they should do if they encounter a suspicious person, too. I only pray that what is practiced is put into play if ever needed. I'm trying my best at each of their developmental levels and I know that inevitably, I can only hold their hands for a while, but they are tethered to my heart eternally.

Free and Open to the public
Poetry will be translated on stage
Five scholars and two artists explore poetry, music, society, performance. The performances and symposium are in conjunction with the South Asia by the Bay Graduate Student Conference.
Parvathy Baul is a practitioner, performer and teacher of the Baul tradition from Bengal. She is also an instrumentalist, storyteller and painter. She has performed in over a dozen countries, including such prestigious venues and festivals as the Noh Theater in Kyoto, the World Music Center in New York City, and the Festival of World Sacred Music in Fez, Morocco. Parvathy's technical virtuosity – her mastery of vocal pitch and tone while playing multiple instruments and dancing – has been lauded by music experts, while the overall impact of her performance has been described by critics as "riveting" and "spellbinding." She is the founder of Tantidhatri, an international women's performance festival, and co-founder of the Ektara Kalari school in Kerala for training in both song and traditional spiritual practice.
Parvathy's performance work emerges from a long lineage of master Baul singers, dancers, and spiritual teachers. Practitioners date the Baul tradition back as far as the eighth century C.E. Baul songs are revered by Bengalis and others around the world and have been declared a "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO. Parvathy studied closely with two of the most respected Baul singer-gurus of the previous generation, Sri Sanatan Das Thakur Baul and Sri Shoshanko Goshai. She was recognized by Sanatan Das Baul as both a musical and spiritual teacher, carrying forward his spiritual legacy.While fully embodying traditional Baul music and practice, Parvathy is also renowned for her continued efforts in renewing this ancient heritage. As the most recognized woman Baul performer in the world, she is making systematic training in traditional Baul arts available to women on a scale that has never occurred previously. She is a tireless advocate for both preservation and renewal of the tradition.

Custody and Interrogation Myths
Written by Randy Means
0 Comments
The famous words from Miranda, "You are under arrest; you have the right to remain silent," are routinely used by police and are essentially known to everyone in the country. However, the idea that the words "You are under arrest" should always be promptly followed with the words "You have the right to remain silent" is a myth. And it is a myth perpetuated in police lore and practice through entertainment media and sometimes training. For many, a belief persists that these phrases must be used in unison, as if they were one thought. In fact, they are two distinct declarations. They should often NOT be used together.
The frequent use of these phrases jointly in popular media has convinced the public and even some law enforcement officers that police are required to use these words every time they make an arrest. This creates the perception that police are somehow unprofessional if they fail to articulate them promptly after every arrest. The truth is that advising a suspect of Miranda rights immediately upon arrest is NOT required. There are often lawful and legitimate advantages to NOT giving Miranda warnings immediately upon arrest. Well-informed officers know this, but training and supervision have not always been consistent on this point.
Pursuant to the Miranda decision, police are required to provide Miranda warnings when they conduct "custodial interrogation." The need for Miranda warnings is only triggered by the simultaneous occurrence of both police custody and police interrogation. When police have a person in their custody (as they do in any arrest), only one of the two Miranda criteria is present. As long as there is no police interrogation, Miranda warnings are not required.
Similarly, when police interrogate a person who is not in their custody, only the second criterion is present, and again Miranda warnings are not required. Custodial interrogation involves the combination of "custody" plus "interrogation" and, in the context of Miranda, these words have special, explicit meanings.
There are two ways police officers can create the kind of "custody" that triggers the Miranda rule. The first way is by formal arrest. Formal arrest is the easier form of custody to recognize because it involves the familiar trappings of arrest, such as verbal acknowledgement ("You are under arrest"), and is usually accompanied by physical restraints (handcuffs) and relocation of the suspect (transported in a patrol car). If a person is under arrest, then that person is also in custody for Miranda purposes.
The second form of custody, the less-defined variety, is when the situation does not rise to the level of a formal arrest, but may nonetheless establish "custody" for Miranda purposes. This type of custody occurs when police create conditions that involve a substantial deprivation of freedom so similar to a formal arrest that a reasonable person might mistake it for one.
For example, if a Terry stop escalates to include a show of force or physical restraints, extends beyond a limited duration of time, or involves the police involuntarily moving the suspect to another location, those conditions are so similar to arrest that they may create "custody" for Miranda purposes. Note, however, that the Supreme Court consistently holds that ordinary Terry stops (which do not escalate as just described) do not require Miranda warnings.
The location of the police-suspect interaction influences this custody determination, but it is not conclusive. If the contact occurs in a police dominated atmosphere, such as in a police station or in a patrol vehicle, the location weighs in favor of a determination of custody.
However, this appearance of custody can be, and regularly is, overcome by police specifically advising the suspect that he is not under arrest, and proving that the suspect came voluntarily to the meeting with police and freely chose to participate in questioning.
On the other hand, a person who is in his home is presumptively not in police custody, though an overbearing police presence in his home may create an arrest-like environment that would qualify as custody for Miranda purposes.
If a person is "subjected to restraints comparable to those associated with a formal arrest," then the person is in custody for Miranda purposes, even if there is no actual arrest. The test to determine whether the situation triggers the custody requirement of Miranda is an objective analysis conducted from the perspective of a reasonable innocent person.
A suspect who is detained in handcuffs in the backseat of a patrol car is likely to be in custody for Miranda purposes, even if he is later released without charges. The officer's intentions and the suspect's subjective beliefs are not determinative. The query is simply how a reasonable person in the suspect's position would have understood his situation.
Another prevalent myth is the belief that Miranda warnings are required when the suspect is the focus of the interrogation. The Court consistently states that whether or not the suspect is the focus of the investigation is irrelevant to the question of Miranda requirements.
Interrogation is the second condition necessary for a requirement of Miranda warnings, and it also comes in two varieties. The first form is express questioning. This is the type of verbal exchange between police and suspects that is normally recognized as interrogation. Envision the exchange between a police investigator and an arrested suspect, in a small room in a police facility, in which the police subject the suspect to relentless accusatory questions. That is interrogation in the classic sense. It is the simpler and more obvious form of interrogation under the Miranda rule.
For purposes of Miranda, the term interrogation also includes the "functional equivalent of interrogation," which is a more elusive concept. The "functional equivalent" of police interrogation is any police conduct that police should know is likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect. It includes a whole host of police actions that would likely provoke a response from the suspect in the same manner as would conventional interrogation.
For example, police presenting compelling physical evidence to a suspect and raising their eyebrows as if to say, "How would you explain this?" may be viewed as the functional equivalent of interrogation. When suspects interject themselves into a conversation that is not directed at them, their statements are not protected by Miranda because they are not the product of police interrogation.
A conversation between two officers that unexpectedly prompts the suspect to speak is not interrogation or its functional equivalent. However, a conversation between officers that centers on the suspect's strong religious beliefs and plays upon his known susceptibilities to those issues is likely the functional equivalent of interrogation, even if the conversation is purportedly only between the officers.
Sometimes it is preferable for arresting officers to forego giving Miranda warnings, leaving that task to an investigator who is more informed about the charges and who may be better able to establish rapport with the suspect. The time that an arrest is begun is often the time of peak agitation for the suspect (and sometimes the officer) and may be the worst possible time to bring up silence and lawyers.
A freshly arrested suspect may be more defensive and resistant to law enforcement initiatives, and he may be more likely to demand a lawyer when he hears the Miranda warnings. This demand blocks all further police-initiated efforts at interrogation, at least as long as custody continues. Often it is a better choice to delay that discussion until it can be conducted in a more comfortable atmosphere, and perhaps even with a different officer. There is usually no need to Mirandize immediately upon arrest.

1.7.1 Defining Functions
In this part of the book, we have seen many examples of functions that are built into Mathematica. In this section, we discuss how you can add your own simple functions to Mathematica. Part 2 will describe in much greater detail the mechanisms for adding functions to Mathematica. As a first example, consider adding a function called f which squares its argument. The Mathematica command to define this function is f[x_]:=x^2. The _ (referred to as "blank") on the left-hand side is very important; what it means will be discussed below. For now, just remember to put a _ on the left-hand side, but not on the right-hand side, of your definition.
In[1]:= f[x_] := x^2
In[2]:= f[a+1]
In[3]:= f[4]
In[4]:= f[3x + x^2]
In[5]:= Expand[f[(x+1+y)]]
In[6]:= ?f
f[x_] := x^2
Defining a function in Mathematica.
The names like f that you use for functions in Mathematica are just symbols. Because of this, you should make sure to avoid using names that begin with capital letters, to prevent confusion with built-in Mathematica functions. You should also make sure that you have not used the names for anything else earlier in your session.
In[7]:= hump[x_, xmax_] := (x - xmax)^2 / xmax
In[8]:= 2 + hump[x, 3.5]
In[9]:= hump[x_, xmax_] := (x - xmax)^4
In[10]:= ?hump
hump[x_, xmax_] := (x - xmax)^4
In[11]:= Clear[hump]
When you have finished with a particular function, it is always a good idea to clear definitions you have made for it. If you do not do this, then you will run into trouble if you try to use the same function for a different purpose later in your Mathematica session. You can clear all definitions you have made for a function or symbol f by using Clear[f].

Skoda is due to launch its new family estate, the Octavia Scout, at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
The Czech manufacturer has revealed the first pictures of the new model, which will go on sale in the UK later this year.
The 4x4 estate is designed to be more capable in off-road situations than previous models. It features 17in wheels and a Haldex four-wheel-drive system. Skoda has also increased the ride height of the original Octavia model by 33mm, and added plastic cladding around the lower parts of the vehicle.
Available engines will consist of two diesels and one petrol unit.
Skoda will unveil the car at the Geneva motor show in March, where it will go on display alongside its new Vision C concept car.
Prices have yet to be confirmed but the Octavia Scout is likely to be a low-cost rival to other 4x4 estates such as the Volkswagen Passat Alltrack.

With all the lecturing I do about keeping a journal and planning flowerbeds before heading out to the garden center, one would think that the arboretum would have some of the best planned beds around. However, nothing frightens me more than the prospect of combining height, color and texture into a public display for all to see.
While I have a reputation in my family for a strong palate and taste memory -- when other people look into the fridge and find it empty, I can put together something akin to gourmet -- as far as my sense of color and color combinations are concerned, the kindest thing anyone has to say is nothing at all.
For several years, I was able to avoid displaying my lack of color sense by working with a marvelous horticulturist who could paint with bedding plants effortlessly. She produced some of the most breathtaking and often wonderfully quirky garden designs I�ve ever seen. Much to my chagrin, her husband took a teaching job on the West Coast making this spring my first solo garden design experience in five years.
As planting season sped around, I found myself in a bit of a time crunch and without a true plan for the design of the perennial border and demonstration flower beds around the arboretum. I decided (telling myself it was conscious rather than procrastination) that I would put together the plantings with the leftovers from our annual spring sale.
So it was with a great deal of trepidation that I found myself standing in front of a sea of unrelated leftover plants. Perhaps unrelated is not exactly true because these plants did have one thing in common --their color. As I surveyed the remnants of the sale, I was stunned to discover that the majority of the plants I had to work with were either dark red or dark purple with distinctly black leanings
Despite the hype of a dozen gardening magazines about the drama of dark colors, and the plethora of �black" plants available from the nurserymen, apparently dark colors were not in favor around town this spring.
The list of near-black plants lined up in front of me was long: Pepper �Black Pearl" boasting not only black fruits but black leaves as well; a black sweet potato vine in case I needed a splash of darkness cascading over the sides of walls or containers; Eucomis �Oakhurst" a pineapple lily with deep reddish-purple sword like leaves; and several types of coleus, all with mottled dark red or purple leaves.
How would I ever turn this group of somber plants into a display worthy of public viewing? Armed with a color wheel and an issue of Fine Gardening dedicated to �learning how to make the most of color," I approached the task. I discovered the excitement of using contrasting colors from opposite sides of the color wheel, and the harmony that is created by using analogous colors that sit side by side.
I�m still learning how to look at color, getting the hang of seeing shades within a color and understanding that warm colors appear to advance and cool colors seem to recede. All I can say is that those dark red and purple plants do indeed look dramatic on a bed of thin-leaved, chartreuse Joseph�s coat, blended with a carpet of lovely sky blue fan flowers and sprinkled with orange zinnias for spice. Who knows? With time and practice, I may just gain a reputation for possessing a strong palette.

After first hearing Cooper's story from a friend, Southworth says, "I was drawn as much to Cooper's copycats as I was to Cooper. Some were simply hijackers that came after, but the strangest were those that 'confessed' to be him, often as a final, dramatic gesture on their deathbeds."
"I also couldn't help but notice," Southworth goes on, "how as the writer of my version of his story, I was assuming the role of another copycat, and how readers would be doing the same. The decision to use second person came from that—from the image of more and more copycats rippling out from the center of the story."
There is fun in "Copycats," originally published in Willow Springs 75, the kind of fun that comes from entering a mystery that can never be solved, like the mystery of D.B. Cooper himself.

Attacking his congressional opponent for allegedly avoiding public appearances, GOP candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford held a mock debate on the sidewalk with a cardboard cutout of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday. The cutout was apparently acting as Elizabeth Colbert-Busch's stand-in due to her supposed aversion to appearances.
"My opponent continues to run a stealth campaign, avoiding public appearances and refusing to commit to televised forums for the benefit of 1st district voters," Sanford said in a press release. "Since Elizabeth Colbert Busch refuses to articulate her views publicly, we are left to draw inferences for what she stands for on the basis of the groups that have made substantial monetary investments on her behalf."
Sanford hit "Pelosi" with several questions relating to the South Carolina congressional campaign. He even joking criticized the cutout for its silence.
"She's not going to answer that one," Sanford said after asking the inanimate object a question about the National Labor Relations Board.
Watch some of the "debate" below via Now This News:
The Colbert-Busch campaign released its own statement ridiculing Sanford for the theatrical display.
"While Mark Sanford continues his desperate campaign to deceive voters, Elizabeth Colbert Busch is spending her time with real people who support her campaign," the statement read. "Today alone, she's meeting with a group of Republicans for Elizabeth Colbert Busch and a rally at Burke High School. She doesn't have to resort to phony cardboard cutouts to talk with the people of South Carolina."

'I've various pots - I'll choose the mix that suits me'
I'm 58 and retired as head of public relations at the University of Ulster in 2014. I have a pension from the Universities Superannnuation Scheme.
I am also due to receive a small personal pension I paid into during my decade as a freelance journalist. It's to kick in when I am 60 - but I understand I might be able to get at it a little earlier due to the current reforms.
I won't get any state pension until I am at least 67. I think the new flexibility will be helpful. But people will have to be careful. The money will have to last them a long time.
My USS pension is an annuity, but I'm thinking about taking the small private pension as a lump sum. I've worked out that I'd have to live another 50 years to exhaust the pot at the rate they are proposing to dole it out to me. If it's only going to pay out a few hundred pounds a year, I can pay that to myself - and have access to the full lump sum. Being prudent means being able to assess the options for making the best use of your savings and investment, and choosing the best investment mix for your circumstances.

"and it's the same Derek that upon seeing you come out of my house in your new bikini stumbled into my pool, fully clothed."
ROFL. Love it.
I loved the Clueless reference, even though I've never seen it. xD I've heard a lot about it, though. I should probably watch it.
Feel good Derek moment! xD
I dunno what you're talking about, this was amazing. I loved it! Don't be so hard on yourself.

Hey now, we got plenty. This was great. And I loved the "built like a rock" line. Classic.
Good job!
BTW, did you see OTH on Tuesday?

i liked this story very cute and funny at the same time.
| MaybeBaby27 chapter 1 . 1/9/2008
I really liked it! It had a sweetness to it that rivals that of a box of chocolate. haha. cheesy. To be honest I do think it wasn't your best story, but it was no where near as bad as you made it out to be. I truly enjoyed it!
| lisa1022 chapter 1 . 1/9/2008
That was great.I Loved it...Good Job write more soon
| Vengeful chapter 1 . 1/9/2008
That was not bad. Not at all bad. True, it wasn't as phenomenal as some of your others, but still, it was very good.
I liked the light-hearted humor, and the jealous Derek. Always fun. Always. You handled the Casey-Derek-Noel triangle well, in a way that didn't overdo anything in particular. Nice use of chocolate-I swear, it cures everything.
Overall, excellent job. So, stop putting yourself down to earn reviews. Yeah, I know what you're doing: I've already used that trick ;)

This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Standard Nasus Build
Nasus Build
Nasus Build - AD
Nasus Build - AP
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.
Summoner Spells
Take Flash or Ghost for an escape.
Take Teleport as a second summoner as you will not be having an aggressive play style with Nasus.
Build Spirit Visage first against AP Laners.
Build Frozen Heart first against AD Laners.
Mercury treads are recommended as it will allow you to not get kited easily.
Build Trinity Force after you have built your defensive items.
Build Last Whisperer if you are winning and require damage against tanks.
Build Guardian Angel if you are losing and require more defensive items.
You will farm your Q for the most part. Max it first for CD reduction.
You will use your W to escape ganks and to catch up to opponents. Max it second to have it ready for mid-game.
You will use your E to farm when zoned badly and for armor reduction. This ability is great but the mana costs are too high without frozen heart and sheen. Max it last.
Like normal, max your ultimate whenever available. You can use this to bait enemies or provide extra damage.
Here are some guidelines for your Q.
10 Minutes - 100 stacks
20 Minutes - 300-400 stacks
If you hit these marks, you will do a lot of damage late game.
Thanks for reading my poorly written guide!

Going to the Birds
My buddy Rob and I went over to the National Aviary in Pittsburgh today so I could put my new digital SLR and my LensBaby to the test. I learned two things: 1) I really need to work on my focusing skills; and 2) I need to go to the aviary more frequently, because that place is awesome. Here are some quick photos for your viewing pleasure.

Lorraine writes,
Should I scrub cabinets down before or after treatment with Temprid SC? also, floors and baseboards?
Temprid SC Insecticide works best when applied to an area that has already been cleaned. This will allow for the insecticide to get into the cracks and crevices. Be sure to follow the product label for correct areas of application.

How To Choose The Right Dance Costumes
Alright all you dance teachers out there,it's getting close to recital time. What does that mean? Having to choose costumes. This is one of the very stressful things about having the recital look the best it can be. You don't want to choose the wrong costume. Sometimes you know exactly what you want, other times you don't have the slightest idea what you want. There are so many things that go into choosing just the right costume. It can be very overwhelming. But, have no fear. I am going to give you some tips on how you can choose the right costume for your dancers.
Before you choose a costume, choose a song. It is so much easier to choose a costume around a song than a song around a costume. I have witnessed many dance teachers fall in love with a costume choose it then have no idea what song they should use. Trust me, know the song before you pick the costume. It'll save you time and stress. Once you choose the song, know what it's about. Every song has a story behind it. Know what that story is. Do the research. Know the meaning behind the lyrics, and know the meaning behind the beat. This will help you know what your dancers should look like when they are dancing.
Match the costume to the song. Once again, do your research. Go ahead and look online at different dance costumes. Dance costume companies have online magazines that you can look through. This is really helpful. Also, Pinterest is a good site to help you as well. Don't know any dance costume companies? Here are some great companies you can use: Kelle Company, Weissman, Revolution Dancewear, Cicci Dance, Curtain Call Costumes and A Wish Come True.
There are a few things you need to keep in mind. The age of your dancers; don't choose a mature costume for 5 year olds, and vice versa. You don't want the dancers, or the parents, to feel uncomfortable with the costume. Usually the model in the picture will give you an indication of the age range that is appropriate. Body types; make sure you pay attention to the body types of your dancers. They are all beautiful no matter what their body shape is. However, let's be honest, not everything looks good on everyone. In fact, everyone has something that they don't look good in, and that's ok. Be aware of your dancers shapes and sizes. Choose something that is going to flatter the majority of them.
Choosing dance costumes isn't an easy thing to do. However, if you keep these things in mind hopefully the process will be easier for you. Don't panic if it takes you a long time to find the right costume. Remember, great things take time, and just like with everything else, when you know, you know.

Women think Ryan is good-looking, and yes some women is are that shallow. My ultra-liberal Aunt mentioned she was considering supporting R/R only because Paul Ryan is such a cutie and she doesn't really like Obama or Romney.
I think the VP debate hurt the Obama/Biden ticket with women voters.

Welcome to basenotes, Aasia!
l think you might enjoy Lady Vengeance by Juliette Has a Gun, or Guerlain lnsolence.
I love the smell of Gina by BenefitCosmetics. Iit only comes in an eau de toilette which just doesn't last long enough for me. I want a eau de parfum which will be a little stronger and have more staying power.
I absolutely love this fragrance and I have searched for something similar but just can't find it. I impulse purchased Chanel Mademoiselle and for me it was a complete waste of money as the fragrance is nice but gives me a headache for want of a better word (i think my body chemistry doesn't agree with orange/citrus notes, forgive my ignorance I'm not very fragrance literate but i hope you get my point) I don't like sharp smells. Also i know this scent mentions vanilla in the description below but i don't like strong vanilla scents.
Gina is described as having the following:
Top notes: pink pepper, bergamot, tangerine
Middle notes: peony, wild raspberry, white lily
Bottom notes: patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla bean
woody oriental - an alluring affair of pink pepper, wild raspberry & patchouli. a seductively provocative scent
Thank you
Welcome to basenotes, Aasia!

"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
Perhaps Solo Amore by Luciano Soprani (this just a guess based on the notes of the one you like)
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve my or other Basenoters' acknowledgement or respect.
Marni comes to mind. Good luck!

NATIONAL and local media have made much of the disruption to rail services occurring throughout the 2015 Easter holiday period. For example, ITV News stated: Delays and engineering works could cause a nightmare for travellers hoping to make a holiday getaway Those relying on the rail network face disruption due to major engineering works with one train company telling people not to travel between Good Friday and Easter Monday.
What they didnt say, however, is that this sort of upheaval is likely to continue into the future as the rail system is modernised and enhanced (just consider recent events at London Bridge) to cope with ever-increasing demand both from the ever-growing number of passengers and from freight forwarders.
Moreover, the kind of disruption seen at Easter 2015 would likely become endemic most weekends if the opponents of HS2 had their way and, instead of building the new railway, major enhancements were attempted along the existing West Coast, Midland and East Coast main lines.
Indeed, it should not be forgotten that on the West Coast Main Line the main cause of the Easter disruption was not just work deferred from two months earlier (because of a giant landslip on another route) but actually was work originally deferred from the West Coast Route Modernisation programme. That ended in early 2009 six years ago but the Watford work was delayed to stop the project exceeding its then budget of £9 billion.
Since then, passenger journeys have continued to increase exponentially overall at something like 6.5 per cent a year, and on Virgin West Coast they have doubled in 15 years so the number of passengers affected by this years disruption is much greater than in earlier days of West Coast route modernisation.
Indeed, Sim Harris, Managing Editor of Railnews, has calculated that if growth continues at the present rate for a further decade the number of journeys that would have to be dealt with in 2025 would be MORE THAN DOUBLE those currently made on the network.
Where are they all to be accommodated?
With current enhancement projects largely seeking to catch up with earlier growth, there must be real concerns about the networks ability to cope with continuing demand ahead of the completion of even the first phase of HS2 which has been planned on the assumption of only two per cent growth per annum!
And then there is freight, with demand already outstripping the rail industrys ability to handle it
Part of the problem is the way the industry organises itself: for example, the major food retailers, already increasingly big users of rail, are keen to shift the bulk movement of perishable foods onto trains. But this requires assurance of reliable journeys with no delays on seven days every week. However, with much engineering work still being undertaken at weekends, this is often a demand that it is currently impossible to satisfy.
The railfreight operators are keen to make much of their contribution to the economy. The latest report, published by the Rail Delivery Group, says railfreight is now contributing some £1.6 billion to the British economy every year up from £1.5 billion last year. That is significant but not enough.
Way back in 1994, the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution produced a landmark report. It covered all forms of transport, and stated: Trains, buses and trams are significantly more energy efficient on average than cars or lorries.
And the Royal Commission stated that an essential element in any sustainable transport policy is to move as much freight as possible by the less damaging modes recommending that the proportion of freight tonne-kilometres carried by rail should increase from 6.5 per cent in 1993 to 20 per cent by 2010
But the reality is that often because of network capacity limitations arising from lack of investment by previous governments, which deliberately encouraged reductions in network capacity todays railfreight operators still only convey around 11.5 per cent (as recorded by Eurostat) of the total freight/tonne kilometres in Britain five years after the Royal Commissions target for 20 per cent.
The problem with finding rail network capacity to cope with more freight was highlighted recently by the closure for several weeks of the main line between the Midlands and the Thames Valley the former Great Western line at Harbury, Warwickshire caused by a huge landslip.
Media attention tended to focus on the landslips impact on Chiltern (and to a lesser extent CrossCountry) passengers. But the real logistical significance of that route is its role as THE primary freight corridor linking the North and Midlands with the Port of Southampton. Something like 50 freight services, equal to around 2,000 HGVs, are scheduled to pass through Harbury cutting and tunnel every day.
And while some cynics might say it was no bad thing this calamitous event for a while slowed the import of goods into the UK from Asia and the Pacific Rim, there is a sizeable amount of valuable export traffic carried in the opposite direction to Southampton notably Jaguar Land Rover products. Just one trainload of top-of-the-range Land Rover Evoques for shipment to China or India is worth around £5 million on the balance of payments.
And Jaguar Land Rover recently secured a £4.5 BILLION export deal with China for the supply of 100,000 vehicles equal to around 1,300 trainloads, or 16,000 HGVs which has to be good news not only for the UK economy but for railfreight operators.
JLRs finished products come mainly from Halewood, near Liverpool, and from Castle Bromwich and Solihull in the West Midlands. The latter the third largest exporting region in the UK now leads UK exports to China, which last year were worth £5.3 billion, an increase of 32 per cent on 2013.
West Midlands is the only UK region running a trade surplus with China and the railway contributes significantly to this success. But when the landslip occurred at Harbury, Network Rail was faced with a major problem as the only alternative route cleared for W12-gauge freight trains is . . . the West Coast Main Line.
Given the demands on the WCMLs limited daytime capacity never acknowledged by HS2s critics, including the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee whose recent report focused only on the number of passengers using long-distance trains, not the number of trains demanding capacity on the tracks emergency arrangements had to be made to create diversionary paths for trains to and from Southampton.
As a result, essential night-time maintenance along the southern section of Europes busiest mixed-traffic trunk railway route, including Watford, had to be deferred. There was similar impact on the Great Western Main Line between Acton and Reading, which formed the other part of the diversionary route during the line closure at Harbury.
It really comes to something when a major part of Britains growing export success (exports to China) has to rely solely on, for example, a stretch of railway completed by I K Brunel 163 years ago, in 1852.
And the West Coast Main Line, which cannot offer up much more in the way of freight capacity but which HS2s detractors maintain should continue as the basis of future growth and enhancements is even older, having been completed between London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester 177 years ago, in 1838!
Who on earth can sensibly believe that we can forge forward economically in the 21st Century relying so heavily on railway infrastructure dating back to the early 19th Century?

There are huge amounts of cultural appropriation in occult circles. So many magickal traditions base themselves on ancient Egyptians, Native Americans, Indian gurus, or "Gypsies" (which is the Romany equivalent of the n-word, so don't use it. Ever). They romanticize non-white spiritual practices while simultaneously not giving a shit about the people of that culture. Sure, there are things that can be learned from those groups, same as knowledge of any subject can come from many sources. But (for example) writing off modern Egyptians as being "Muslim terrorists" while simultaneously believing that the ancient Egyptians held all the sacred wisdom is insulting and racist. And you see that a lot in some occult circles, especially ones rooted in European traditions like the Golden Dawn.
Part of it comes from a desire for continuity — following a trail of secret knowledge established in prehistory, the wisdom of the ancients. But a lot of it is just a racist penchant for the exotic, codified into "tradition" by Victorian whites. It bugs the hell out of me.
(I brought this up with an Egyptian-American friend last week, as I've been thinking about it a lot. She says she's had people ask her who the current Pharoah is. WTF, white people?)
