The Art of Blowing Your Own Trumpet
With hundreds of author-created books, DVDs, CDs and downloads coming onto the market every day, and everyone trying to publicise through Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, WordPress (ha, ha) etc., it has created a media Tower of Babel—millions of voices fulfilling Warhol's prophecy and screaming: 'I want my 15 minutes now! By any and every means!' Clearly some find this trend annoying. Recently on Amazon a poster started a discussion thread to complain that the forums were being hijacked by authors self-promoting their books. Immediately those very self-promoters waded in to defend themselves, no doubt seeing the thread as yet another avenue for their public exposure—some even posted product links!
As an independent author I self-promote my book at any opportunity, but I have ambivalent feelings about the process and doubts about its efficacy. I'm reminded of the words of Groucho Marx, who said he wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have him as a member. And indeed who would want to buy a book whose author had to resort to standing on a street corner like a town crier singing its praises? There is something inherently down market, degrading and off-putting about self-promotion, which cannot help but reflect on the product itself… But then self-promotion is better than no promotion at all.
Every good solipsist knows he's created a masterpiece, but he also knows nobody else knows and never will unless the trumpet comes out. So what to do? I have come to the conclusion that whatever it is do it subtly, obliquely and not the in-your-face way. So it's not a good idea to post product links on Amazon threads and Facebook pages that are meant for discussion and information sharing. You will be viewed as a spammer, and you might even create a negative backlash against your product, in the manner of a really irritating TV advert. It's also not good to join a discussion thread, make a perfunctory comment and then go on to talk about your book, which deals with this very subject in terrific detail, was recommended by So and So and is available here (product link).
Much better to talk more generally in a conversational way, contribute something of actual value to a discussion that is likely to get peer group approval, and leave a trail—a website or blog address—that will lead to your product. Many established professionals do this and some have become experts, seeking out just the right platforms from where they will attract the most attention. It's not an easy process and it's also never-ending. With so much media circulating in a dizzying howl-around fashion, it's very hard to get heard and very frustrating when people appear not to be listening. But nevertheless, don't resort to blowing the trumpet too hard or too close to your audience's ears. Remember: the soft sell wins over hard the sell every time.

Americans Love Imported Foods but are Too Quick To Blame Them
Tags: antibiotics, automatic detention, Buy American, e coli, FDA, food, how much food is imported, import alert, imports, outbreaks, recalls, red list, River Ranch Fresh Foods, safety, salmonella, statistics
Americans consume an incredible amount of imported foods. For shrimp, over 90% of what we consume is imported, for produce, 35%, and some estimates claim that 20% of the total U.S. food supply is imported.1 Whether it's caviar or truffles or bananas or cookies, we love our food choices, in season and out, and would be devastated if our imported food supplies suddenly dried up. Yet whenever there is a food safety scare (E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, antibiotics), some Americans are quick to turn on "foreign foods" … READ MORE

The interpretation received by schools today that they are no longer permitted to subscribe to Rivals.com seems on the face of it like a relatively minor decision. In the realm of recruiting and scouting services, Rivals and similar services like Scout.com and ESPN are not the giants they may seem. The fact is if even a diehard college football or basketball fan knows about a set of recruiting rankings or analysis, it likely doesn't move the needle for coaches.
That's even is you take into account the owners of team-specific sites passing recruiting information to coaching staffs. I was unaware this was widespread, but it is certainly a concern.
The smaller reason this interpretation is important is that a well-intentioned rule has gotten away from the membership and the staff. The original incarnation of the recruiting and scouting services rule was focused on a single contagion in the recruiting process.
In the sport of men's basketball, coaches and boosters were buying multiple copies of sham recruiting services for thousands of dollars a piece from AAU coaches and handlers. In exchange for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, coaches would get names, height and weight, and generic rankings or ratings like stars or "high major." And more importantly, they got access to the AAU coach or handler's prospects.
That rule was then extended to all sports, a notable recent trend in NCAA legislation. Part is the accurate acknowledgement that many sports are seeing the same trends that men's basketball saw. And part is a dislike of sport specific legislation cluttering a rulebook that could stand to trim some fat.
This pulled in a number of other services in nonrevenue sports that are critical to coaches who do not have the recruiting budgets of major men's basketball and football programs. Designed to serve the specific needs of the sport, they were held to a set of requirements that was initially tailored to eliminate a certain type of recruiting service in a different sport. That lead to a fan-centric service being evaluated under that same standard.
The minor issue could be solved by expressly prohibiting the undesirable conduct. Institutions should not be permitted to subscribe to recruiting services controlled by individuals associated with a prospect. This prevents the need for distinguishing between a legitimate or illegitimate business, and doesn't set a set of requirements that could potentially be met by someone still selling access to prospects as the primary product.
But it's the reason Rivals is not a permissible service that shows the deeper underlying problem with the current recruiting regulations. It is not permissible to subscribe to a recruiting or scouting service that provides videos of prospects in non-scholastic competition, unless the videos are free and available to the general public.
The NCAA and its members have fought the growth of non-scholastic youth sports vigorously. Subscribing to video of non-scholastic contests is prohibited. In basketball, going to watch AAU events is tightly restricted. In football, coaches are prohibited from going to any non-scholastic event.
This has resulted in two things: the steady, continued growth of AAU basketball, 7-on-7 football, and all other club sports, and diminished NCAA influence in this area. By removing college coaches from many AAU gyms and football camps, it has become the lawless wild west that the restrictions sought to avoid.
There is a success story though: the July evaluation periods. With so many coaches in the same gym with NCAA enforcement staff, it has become a structured, almost business-like period. Coaches go and watch games, go back to the hotel and record their evaluations, sleep, and then get up and watch more games. There's no reason that a summer evaluation period in football couldn't be similar.
The NCAA should let go of high school athletics as the primary way prospects prepare themselves for intercollegiate competition. The entire of Bylaw 13 should be scrapped and rebuilt, reflecting the new reality that non-scholastic sports have overtaken high school sports in recruiting. This includes rethinking recruiting calendars to the non-scholastic schedule, changing contact rules to counter the influence of third parties, and altering inducement regulations to reflect the payoffs and under the table deals prevalent in club sports.
And by focusing on non-scholastic sports, the NCAA can become a force to improve them. Preference in recruiting calendars could be given to leagues and organizations that operate according to certain standards. iHoops could spawn a rival to the AAU circuit for talent and development that surpasses it in transparency. And 7-on-7 football could be built in the image of what the NCAA would prefer and what college coaches need, not in image of grassroots organizers and investors.
Every Division I institution being banned from using a recruiting service on the tip of every fan's tongue is a big story. But the bigger story is just how entangled one specific rule was in the philosophy that underpins recruiting. It's a philosophy that has become an uphill battle, one we should stop fighting before we lose the war.

For nearly a century, the American Judicature Society has supported merit selection, a non-partisan method for selecting qualified, impartial judges to serve on state courts.
We were pleased when Gov. Bev Perdue used an executive order to establish a commission to nominate candidates to fill interim vacancies on the bench in North Carolina. We were therefore dismayed last week, when the governor chose to bypass her nominating commission, to take advantage of a last-minute opportunity to appoint a justice to the North Carolina Supreme Court before her term as governor expires. Her choice seems to undercut the incentive for her successor, governor-elect Pat McCrory, to make use of a nominating commission when he is choosing interim appointees.
Since they were established in the 1970's, executive order nominating commissions in Delaware, Georgia, Massachusetts and New York have played an important role in the selection of those states' judges, through several subsequent administrations, regardless of their political parties. In order to advance partisan goals, Perdue is now sacrificing the very mechanism she created to help reduce the role of politics in selecting North Carolina's judges.
In the long term, we fear this will threaten the existence of the commission and its work.

Recently, N.C. State biologists gave a public presentation of findings from a two-year study conducted on Fort Bragg on the effect of coyote predation on the reservation.
The same study, done at Savannah River several years ago to the tune of $900,000, revealed that coyotes like to eat white-tail deer, especially baby deer.
What was really confirmed by this recent study is that the decision several years ago to drastically alter the ecology on Fort Bragg to make it more attractive to red cockaded woodpeckers destroyed the habitat for other species. Now, squirrels, deer and other minor wildlife are scarce on the Bragg reservation.
An endangered species section was set up at Bragg to handle the program to provide and alter the habitat for the woodpeckers. The decision was made to wipe out everything else rather than preserve a home for the species already there. The birds here were doing fine, but they had been wiped out in South Carolina by Hurricane Hugo, so the aim of the program here was to increase their numbers. The Endangered Species Act was used to threaten the government to wipe out everything but the birds. It seems to have worked; the number of woodpecker colonies are above target for over two years.
Fort Bragg's primary objective is a military mission. It also provides recreation for military and civilians. What was once probably the finest recreation hunting program in the world is gone, because the overzealous Endangered Species folks have nearly wiped out everything.

Pete Hanson's Daily Blog: Fifteen Two, Fifteen Four
My wife and I play a lot of cribbage. Sometimes I win. Sometimes she wins. Sometimes it's a close game right up to the end. Other times it's a blowout. Sometimes when she's way ahead, she'll ask me if I want to concede and start a new game. Never. Being way behind is a different kind of challenge. Sure the odds are against my comeback, but you never know unless you try. It becomes a different way of playing the same game we've played thousands of times. The only thing I know for sure is that if I quit, I will not win. Every now and then I do come back to win. Most of the time I don't.
What part of life doesn't this apply to?
Now I'm not saying that it never makes sense to throw in the towel. What I am saying is to give yourself a moment to think about it before you do. Once you decide to give up and walk away, you'll never know how close you were to success.

As a college student, my pockets were far from deep but they got even shallower when I stopped at the co-op to buy my books at the beginning of each semester. My wallet and I loathed the astronomical price tags (even for used copies!) with a passion because we both knew there had to be a way for me to get books and not be forced to subsist on Top Ramen until my next break. I was right…just kind of bummed it didn't happen during my collegiate tenure.
Data from the Student Public Interest Research Group's new survey disclose textbooks available for free online or sold in print for low cost could slash students' textbook bills from $900 to $184 each year. Using eBooks and textbook rental services like BookRenter.com and Chegg.com can also reduce book costs by $300. Though 93 percent of students surveyed said they would rent "at least some of their textbooks," Cerritos College student Donald Pass prefers the flexibility of open textbooks because he could read the material for free online, purchase a print copy with study aids or print it himself. (Daytona State's administration agrees and will begin offering eBook access to students this coming January.) Professors like Lon Mitchell of Virginia Commonwealth University, however, say this option is troublesome because students often bring only limited sections of text to class, making it difficult for instructors to review supplemental material in different chapters. Mitchell also said that a number of his students have resisted the online versions of the open textbooks because compared to the print versions, they felt the online text was lacking.
I hear what Mitchell is saying loud and clear but if a student can reduce their spending by up to 80 percent by using open books and textbook rentals, I have a feeling print editions are going to be seen less and less as the years go by. Students, are you utilizing eBooks and textbook rentals or are you still relying solely on hard copies you don't have to share or return? If you're using both, is there a noticeable difference in the material quality like Mitchell said? What's your preference between these options?

Montana State University has a glass-half-full outlook when it comes to graduation rates but its students aren't exactly sharing that mentality: Though the school announced it had enrolled record 13,559 students for the fall semester, only half that number will make it to graduation day.
Graduation rates aren't that different nationwide – about 57 percent of students who enroll in U.S. four-year colleges earn a degree in six years, according to the National Center for Education Statistics – but these low numbers are cause for concern and in order to reach President Obama's goal of making America the leader in college graduates by 2020, the country's public universities need to do whatever they can to shed the label of "failure factories." Things are looking up for MSU for the time being, though: The retention rate for last year's freshmen who returned this fall was 74 percent - 2 points higher than last year and a record for the past 10 years.
So what's being done in the Treasure State? MSU President Waded Cruzado says she plans to renew attention to the goal of graduation with the help of the Montana Board of Regents by getting more people to earn two-year or four-year degrees. But why are so many MSU students are dropping out in the first place? Despite the less-than-favorable economy, finding money for college isn't the issue; instead, students surveyed cited lack of direction, affinity/connection with the school and overall interest in college classes. MSU is responding by ramping up its career coaching with freshmen and advising to help undecided students pick a major and launching a campaign to lure back former students who have left the university in the last three years.
The university is doing much more than what's listed above (check out yesterday's article in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle) but will any of it work? Students leave school for myriad reasons and sometimes no amount of advising, coaching or incentives can change that. Then again, an extra push can make a difference for many students on the fence about their education. How would you respond to MSU's initiatives?

Finding a job has never been easy but over the past few years, that same task has become even more nerve-wracking and downright disheartening. This situation is all too familiar to recent college graduates, who – save for an internship or two – have very little experience outside the classroom but the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University just revealed the hiring of new bachelor's-degree graduates expected to increase by 10 percent this academic year.
Institute director Phil Gardner describes this news as the first step out of a deep hole – this year's increase is over last year's hiring, which held steady after it tumbled 35 to 40 percent in 2008. The report, "Recruiting Trends 2010-2011," says hiring will not increase across the board but will instead be seen in certain industries, for specific majors and in isolated areas of the country:
If these findings don't relate to your situation, there's still a chance you could snag the job of your dreams: Thirty-six percent of employers say they will consider applicants regardless of major. So, recent and soon-to-be college graduates, breathe those sighs of relief and start updating those resumes!

One would think that the condition of the U.S. economy would have undergraduates declaring business as their majors in droves. One would also, however, be wrong: Federal and college data show interest in the field is mimicking the Metrodome roof and falling.
Inside Higher Ed reports business is no longer the big man on campus in terms of majors and interest appears to be static and even waning at many schools. Since 2008, Pennsylvania State University has recorded a 30-percent decline in undergraduates accepting offers from its Smeal College of Business – a trend that's far from isolated: Though rates have remained stable and even increased at the University of Oregon and Indiana University, the share of business majors at University of Central Florida is down by nearly 15 percent this semester relative to 2008 and 13 percent fewer students are enrolled in Purdue University's Krannert School of Management this semester compared to two years ago; last year, the number of applicants dropped 26 percent from the previous year.
John Pryor, director of the survey-conducting Cooperative Institutional Research Program at the University of California Los Angeles, suggested student loan debt and the perceived lack of career stability in business may be fueling this shift. "Even though students have higher debt, some are seeing that business is not as likely to help them pay that debt back," he wrote. "We also saw business employees losing jobs and having lower incomes, so perhaps students see business as not providing as sure a track towards economic freedom as in the past." The survey also suggested undergraduate interest in business peaked long ago – 1987 to be precise, the same year Gordon Gekko famously declared "greed, for lack of a better word, is good" in the movie "Wall Street." Coincidence?
Students, has the economy influenced what you're majoring in? Are you more likely to take pages from the books of computer science majors Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg instead of emulating good ol' Mr. Gekko?

Welcome back, everyone! Have the holiday hazes, mall bruises and food comas worn off yet? If not, this next story may snap you back to reality…especially if you're a University of Missouri student.
Just before our break, the Chronicle and Columbia Daily Tribune reported the university is poised to truncate its degree offerings by 16 - a decision that came after a state-mandated review revealed multiple programs graduating on average fewer than 10 bachelor's, five master's and three doctoral degrees per year. While a change like this isn't new – SUNY Albany announced similar changes a few months ago – the method is: Some programs will be disappearing all together but the majority will merge with existing programs and create new degrees. Among the changes, Spanish and French programs will join to form a Romance language degree and the three master's programs within the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources may be rolled into one catch-all degree covering forestry parks, recreation, tourism, and soil, environmental and atmospheric sciences; education specialist and doctoral degrees in career and technical education, a specialist degree in special education and communication sciences and disorders doctorate and a clinical laboratory sciences bachelor's program within the School of Health Professions will be eliminated completely.
The proposed changes are expected to be approved by the Missouri Department of Higher Education and the Coordinating Board of Higher Education in February. The affected programs, however, will continue for a while – even years – because, says Deputy Provost Ken Dean, the university will not implement anything that would have a negative impact on current undergraduate and graduate students. Are you enrolled in any of the programs mentioned? Will this news impact your decision to remain in your current major? Are you considering transferring to a different school with a more specialized program?

Scenario: You've been accepted by College A and College B - your two top choice schools - and have been awarded generous financial aid packages by both. You decide to attend College B but one year in, a project is announced that would increase the fees you're paying...on top of the already hefty sums of tuition, books and housing. Are you on board? If so, you're in good company.
State funding for colleges isn't what it used to be so when a school needs new dormitories, laboratories and classrooms, students have become more willing to fund these endeavors because they will benefit their educational experience. In Colorado, mandatory student fee increases range from 18.5 percent (University of Colorado at Colorado Springs) to 611 percent (Mesa State) since 2006 but current students are readily handing over the cash…even though the majority will have graduated long before the projects are finished.
"I won't be a student here when the projects are complete, but I do know my degree will only gain in value," said Sammantha O'Brien, a student at Metropolitan State College of Denver. Brad Baca, vice president of finance and administration at Western State College in Gunnison, agrees. "We're in a very competitive environment and having high-quality amenities and facilities is an important factor," he said. And if the upgrades aren't reward enough, students at these schools are more informed and involved: At Western State, for example, 40 percent of the student population participated in the fee vote – a record turnout.
What do you think, readers? Would you pony up the dough for a dorm you won't live in or an academic building in which you'll never hear a lecture?

There's been a lot of talk about Harvard lately – its reinstatement of early action, a graduate winning the Best Actress Oscar, another Winklevoss lawsuit against Facebook, etc. – but this next story doesn't fall within the boundaries of its ivy-covered campus...and not that far away, either. An arm's length, shall we say?
Desperate to pay off their children's $20,000 worth of student loans, a Boston-area parent recently posted on Craigslist that he or she was willing to sell their body parts to combat the mounting debt. The posting did not include a name, gender or exact location but listed the "live cadaver" was 5 feet 10 inches tall, 200 pounds and had all organs in working order. "If you eliminate my children's student loans, I will give you my life!" the poster wrote. "Take my blood, take my plasma. Drill into my brain, my leg, my arm. Tap my heart, my liver, my kidney," the poster wrote, adding, "I am very very serious."
There are a lot of options out there to limit exorbitant loans (scholarships, grants and fellowships, to name a few) and consolidation can simplify the loan repayment process by allowing the borrower to combine several types of federal student loans and repayment schedules into one...but selling off one's body parts piece by piece? We're all for finding interesting ways to pay for school but this is just plain crazy. Would you ever consider taking this route to keep loan collectors at bay?

With the royal wedding set to happen in less than one day's time, many people's minds are filled with thoughts of excess, grandeur and all things sparkly. But instead of waking up at an ungodly hour to toast the new bride and groom with sapphire-hued Kate-tinis, the Louisiana Board of Regents has a rather opposite plan: cut more than 100 academic degree programs statewide.
The Regents labeled the programs averaging fewer than eight bachelor's degree graduates, five master's degree graduates or three doctoral graduates in the past three years as low-completers and terminated 109 programs directly, while 189 will be consolidated or shaped into new programs. Southern University, LSU, the University of Louisiana and Southeastern Louisiana University recorded the most degrees lost and no public historically black colleges will offer a bachelor's degree in a foreign language once the programs are phased out; a small sliver of positive news for students is that eliminated programs will remain in place until currently-enrolled upperclassmen graduate.
Though Karen Denby, Regents associate commissioner for academic affairs, said the colleges will be more efficient with class sizes, faculty loads and graduation rates as a result of the cuts, some administrators – like Mike Gargano, LSU System vice president of student and academic support – are still wary about the motivation behind the changes...and we'd assume students are as well. To our Louisiana readers, does this announcement impact your intended major or career path?
July 1, 2011
Do you get a headache when thinking about rising college tuition and fees? You're not alone...but your company may surprise you.
Yesterday morning, administrators at more than 500 colleges reached for metaphorical Advil bottles when the Department of Education decreed special reports detailing tuition and student fee increases must be submitted to the government for review. Schools cited include public institutions Arizona State University, Georgia State University, Alabama State University and roughly two-thirds of California State University's 23 campuses for tuition hikes of 38 percent, 46 percent, 43 percent and between 37 and 46 percent, respectively, over the last three years as well as for-profit colleges from DeVry University, Education Management and Corinthian Colleges. In addition to explaining why costs have gone up so dramatically, the schools must also discuss how they plan to address the rising prices.
Do you think these new measures will help students make more informed college choices?

When most people start a new job, it takes a while for them to find their way and perfectly arrange their tchotchkes before they feel truly comfortable. Not Susan Herbst: She took over as president of the University of Connecticut just 22 days ago but she's already made a huge impact on campus and beyond.
Herbst, the former executive vice chancellor of the University System of Georgia, and her husband, marketing consultant Douglas Hughes, have announced they will donate $100,000 to create a scholarship for needy UConn students pursuing degrees in the arts and humanities. "In these difficult times, UConn desperately needs increased private funding of student scholarships, faculty research, and building projects in order to become the top flagship university the state of Connecticut and its citizens deserve," she said in a statement.
The aptly-named Susan Herbst and Douglas Hughes Family Scholarship will be based on academic achievement and need and will be awarded for the first time next spring. Does this financial aid opportunity have you considering spending your college years in the Constitution State?

What's with the nero-ing & on such an "spammy/obnoxious" scale...
FFOS is not "Linux" & it's not "hacked-up Android", it's completely different in it's architecture.
Tizen again, completely different to FFOS, similar in that the focus is html5/js, but it also supports native code in the form of EFL.
Linux != OS
Linux = monolithic kernel

Ive been playing about with this for about an hour in practice seeing what times ive been getting by jungling with blood hunter from 1-6
It seems to be somewhat effective so far as it allows him to get solo lane exp and a large amount of gold, the most obvious drawback is not getting early ganks
Anyone have any idea as to weither this would be worth putting some time into or weither i should just lane with him? :P
Hmm well he isn't much of a ganker until level 6 anyway. But his silence is good to spam early game versus low hp heroes. I am guessing you buy poor man's shield first?
Its a bit of a pain at the start so im thinking of laning until about level 3 then jungling till 6, since by 3 you could have a loggers hatchet iron buckler (2?) and a health potion or 2 if things get a little bad
I think if its going to be a viable way to get to level 6 fast it would be in easy mode though
Played around abit with dual laning till 3 then going to jungle with 2 iron bucklers and a loggers hatchet and got to 6 in just under 8 mins non em so im gonna do a dual lane and compare them now (then single lane)

Don't play easy mode please, you will learn more from playing non em. Get Iron shield, rather than 2 iron bucklers. With your health regen move and iron shield, it shouldn't be too hard at lvl 3. Try it out and let us know how you go.
he said non-em
To all the people who said that I'd never be able to write a joke about Bukkake. Hah! In your face
Well doing dual lane takes longer than doing dual lane to 3 then jungle to 6
Iron Shield+Loggers Hatchet got me through the jungle with no extra support in just under 8 mins while dual laning took quite a bit longer, im guessing i would get roughly the same result as jungling doing solo lane but BH isnt really a solo laner anyway as theres generally gonna be more suitable heroes for that
And this isnt in EM no
taking roughly 3 mins to get to level 3 dual laning so once i return to base i hit the jungle at about 3:50
Hit level 6 at 7:32, seems mostly dependant on the creeps that spawn i got unlucky with 3 minotuar camps and they are a pain to do

A good choice would be to stack the closest creep camp to the lane(the one that always gets pulled), at 50ish seconds(before the 1st min), so that you can deny the entire 3rd creep wave and get a lot of xp, that creep camp should put you at(or near) the 3rd level(depending on which creeps spawn).
At 3(or 4) you can proceed to the jungle.
Doing this twice, usually results in one level more for both you and your lane partner, than the opposing team(depends on the creeps again), since you deny at least 6 creeps(in total) while your lane partner farms near the tower.
BH is one of (if not the best) solo hero to counter nukers in mid. He is often picked to counter selections like ThunderBringer, Plague Rider, Succubus, Moon Queen, etc. While he may not be as effective vs ranged agility, such as Arachna, he is still more then capable of handling a lane by himself.

I've actually never even thought about jungling Blood Hunter, it sounds very interesting! But it is abit of a waste I belive since BH is (one of) the strongest mid-solo hero.
Click Here and make sure it hasn't already been reported, because making duplicate reports or posting bugs on the forums means you are wasting everyone's time (Including your own).
My general rule of thumb is that melee agi's need to be babysat or very careful until lvl 11 when they can really start putting out some good dmg.
Not a bad idea. I'll try it sometime when we have a stronger solo than myself for mid and let you know what I think.

I am of the firm opinion that subtracting "raging stupidity" from anyone's voice can only cause them to sound more like myself.
He jungles very slow at levels 1-5, and only moderately fast at levels 6+. A option would be mass pulls top lane scourge, but realistically this hero should only be played under very specific conditions.
Andro is a terrible solo mid. Stun and Aurora can NOT put Blood Hunter out of a lane, unless the Blood Hunter is retarded. I solo'd against a Soulstealer today (Who has much more spammable and damaging nukes, not to mention superior lasthitting) and I dominated his face. A set of Runes of Blight can be used if your health drops a bit, and an HP pot is enough to cover the emergency of screwing up several last hits in a row.

These shoes are really comfortable and very well made, and, It must be said are in a class of their own. The only criticism that I could possibly make, would be to say that the colour in Navy isn't as blue as I would prefer - other than that - they're fab in every way. Well done Seebago/

The BBC and ITV have confirmed the split of live matches for next summer's FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
ITV will show the opening match of the tournament between hosts Brazil and Croatia on 12 June, while the BBC start with Spain v Holland, a repeat of the 2010 World Cup final on 13 June.
The BBC will show England's first Group D match against Italy. ITV will then show England's next two games, against Uruguay and Costa Rica.
The construction of new venues for the 2014 World Cup hasn't been without controversy and incident, but in Natal on the north-east coast of Brazil, a beautiful new stadium is taking shape, as these photos show:
Uruguay may have Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, but Roy Hodgson reckons the South American nation will be worried about facing England's own strikeforce next summer.
Fifa has confirmed that England's opening World Cup Group D match against Italy on June 14 next year in Manaus has been moved to 1800 local time, from 2100.
Zola to Gazzetta:"Goalkeeper and defence are England's weak links. The new stars that will find space are Wilshere and Barkley"
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque admitted the reigning world champions will have be at the top of their game for the opening match of the group against Holland.
We're going to have to prepare ourselves from day one and get in the right frame of mind. They are going to demand everything from us. But it's up to us to perform, it's not just down to our opponents.
Holland have changed since 2010, especially in midfield and in defence. But they've still got Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben.
Chile have been playing very good football, which is very uncomfortable to play against, for the last few years. They are very strong at pressing, they have very intelligent footballers who are very skilful. They will be very difficult.

Rutland to discuss surveillance cameras
RUTLAND The city is discussing the idea of using security cameras to monitor its most crime-ridden neighborhoods.
One landlord suggested the idea to the Board of Aldermen on Monday after one of his properties was the site of a home invasion.
Cam Johnston said he has no problem with cameras monitoring people walking down the street.
The matter was referred to the Public Safety Committee with almost no debate.
City Police Chief James Baker said a surveillance program in residential areas would have to be a community decision.
He said the city already had a number of privately owned security cameras around businesses. Baker said vandalism dropped around the downtown train station after cameras were installed there.MORE IN Vermont NewsIn a far corner of Elysian Hills Tree Farm in Dummerston are a couple of strange-looking...

My mother has been making this for as long as I can remember. It's my dad's favorite Christmas treat, and it's always been high on my list.
4 quart pan
candy thermometer
2 (9×13) pans, greased
6 cups sugar
3 sticks unsalted butter
12 ounce can evaporated milk
28 ounce jar crunchy peanut butter
13 ounce jar marshmallow cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1. Combine the sugar, butter, and milk in 4 quart pan. Boil 5 minutes or until thermometer reaches 234° F. Remove from heat.
2. Add peanut butter and stir until melted.
3. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well-blended, but don't overdo it. Do not scrape the sides or the fudge will be gritty.
4. Pour into 2 greased 9″x13″ pans. Allow to set in refrigerator overnight.
5. Cut into 1-inch squares. Makes 6 pounds.

CF slot reader/writers are now under $25, and as a matter of fact we offer this as an option on both our tower workstations on in our rack chassis. Recent prices on CF are at $50 or less for 512MB, so a "CD sized" boot image flash device is now trivial. If you look inside a Force10 network switch you will see the OS and firmware are loaded on a flash card. You can even buy CF packaged in a device that is a 40 pin female "dongle" that plugs directly to the motherboard HD IDE slot. These go for around $100 for 512MB Other flash types, like SD, XD, Memory stick, &c do not have the AT interface built in, so a chip and driver are needed to use them, pretty well ruling them out as useful for boot devices, unless you write the driver into BIOS, on, for example, LinuxBIOS.

We are very excited about the publication of Valerie's first cookbook, SWEET. A labor of love years in the making, SWEET contains the recipes to many of the most popular items from Valerie Confections, developed since the company was founded in 2004.
Beyond sharing her favorite recipes, Valerie uses SWEET to share the way she approaches baking, incorporating unique ingredients and techniques that will allow you to use the recipes as a starting point to create your own memorable desserts. Favorite desserts like petits fours, cakes, truffles, and cookies have been perfected with the addition of candied rose petals, atomized chocolate, fleur de sel, matcha tea, and other special ingredients. Valerie re-creates desserts from Los Angeles's lost restaurants such as Chasen's and the Brown Derby; she simplifies the process of making jam; she provides an accessible way to mix and match components so readers can design their own luscious cakes and pies. Filled with helpful tricks, recipes for a range of tastes, and gorgeous full-color photographs, Sweet is destined to become every baker's favorite cookbook.
We've loved sharing these treats with you over the years, and, with SWEET, love that you can now make them at home.

Randall Franks and Soren Fulton on the set of "Broken"
(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0291684/ )
Randall Franks (In the Heat of the Night) recently starred in the role of "Marv Headly" for director Damian Fulton for the feature film "Broken." Los Angeles casting director Gabrielle Evans-Fields cast Franks, who plays an investigator working to recover Soren Fulton's (Thunderbirds, Justice League) character, a kidnap victim, from Joe Steven's (True Grit) character.
While working since April to raise $1 million to rebuild homes for tornado victims in his hometown of Ringgold, Ga., Randall has fulfilled requests from four directors to join their films.
To support the effort to help Randall's neighbors, visit http://randallfranks.com/ or www.CatoosaCOAD.com.
Congrats Randall!!
