Ein Ranglistenspiel ist ein Draft Pick game type available to level 30 summoners with at least 16 champions available (NOT including free week champions). Summoners are placed on a game ladder and ranked against one another according to a hidden Matchmaking Rating (MMR).
Players are divided into Challenger, Master, Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers, with Diamond to Bronze tiers further subdivided into 5 divisions. Once gained, a tier can be lost only by four weeks of inactivity in the particular ranked mode (this applies only to Platinum and higher tiers, not Gold or below). Also, a tier can be lost if your hidden MMR drops a full tier (from Diamond 5 to Platinum 5, for example). Furthermore, inactivity may result in a change of league placement upon re-activation.
Players who have not played their first 10 "placement" games will not be able to see their rating in their profile until the 10 are played, at which point they will be placed in a particular League, and corresponding Tier and Division. Ranked games are considered the competitive alternative to normal games.
Dynamic Queue Bearbeiten
The dynamic queue was added to Ranked in January 2016 and it fully removed the old Solo/Duo queue system. Dynamic queue gives the opportunity to play with not only a single premade, but makes it possible to queue with as many premades as possible until platinum tier. Furthermore, you can only queue with friends when they are your tier or one tier above/below you, those regulations become more strict in diamond and above. Dynamic queue received much criticism by the community, claiming that the competitive aspect of Ranked is taking a backseat. In followup to this, Riot released some changes that balanced for example the Winrate of team5's vs team4's+1, but also claimed that the playrates of ranked have reached an all-time high. In July 2016 they released an icon that shows wether your primarily either a solo, group(2-4) or team(5) ranked player, this however has no effect on placement and gameplay.
Champion select Bearbeiten
Since January 2016 the champion select is based on the updated Draft Pick. If you launch it, you will get in a lobby, where you will be able to pick a primary and secondary position (Top, Jungle, Mid, Bot/ADC, Support).
- Banning Phase: At the start of champion selection, the last 3 picks of each team have the opportunity to ban a total of 6 champions. The bans alternate between the teams, blue team starting. During the banning phase, each team can see their opponent's available champions in order to ban viable options.
- Champion Selection: Players are given a position, based on the 2 positions that they chose in the lobby. The team that receives first ban gets the first pick. After the initial pick, teams alternate and pick two at a time until each champion has been selected. No champion can be selected more than once in a game.
- Trade: When all the members of a team have locked in, there is an opportunity to make a trade within your team. Both members of the team must own both champions involved. One player can initate the trade, and when the other confirms it their champions are swapped. It is possible to execute multiple trades before the game begins. Therefore, trades are often implemented in order to secure high tier champions early on to be swapped with the intended player instead of risking the other team taking them.
- Leaves: Queue dodging is punished by 6 minutes of wait for the first offense and 30 minutes to 1 hour for subsequent offenses. Leaves are punished by a loss of elo for the player regardless of the match's outcome if the player is AFK for at least 5 minutes before the game ends.
Teamranked Bearbeiten
Teamranked is a Ranked queue where you can play as a premade team of 3 (Twisted Treeline) or 5 (Summoner's Rift). It is only available in certain periods of time troughout the day, depending on the server your playing on. Matches played in Teamranked don't interfere with your personal Dynamic Queue MMR/LP, they only count toward your team's LP.

My accountant husband has been staring at our 2011 income and grumbling over this aspect of retirement planning. He points out that any couple with taxable income of more than $69,000 in 2011 will pay 25 percent in taxes on the portion of the income that is above that income. Anything below it is taxed at 15 percent.
Keeping taxable income below $69,000 is a reasonable goal for anyone whose income is close to that amount -- 10 percentage points is a big jump. Now's the time to do what it takes to make that savings possible.
The federal tax personal exemption for 2011 is $3,700 -- or $7,400 for a couple. Married couples with two personal exemptions and the standard deduction of $11,600 -- a total of $19,000 -- can earn $88,000 without leaping from the 15 percent tax bracket to the 25 percent bracket. You get an additional $1,250 if you are single and an extra $2,000 if both halves of the couple are older than 65. You also can claim $1,250 if one spouse is older than 65 and the other one isn't and you file a joint return.
Of course, if you have other deductibles like high mortgage interest rates and property taxes, significant healthcare expenses or big short-term losses in the stock market, or you are a particularly generous donor to charity, you may push yourself above the standard deduction and be able to shelter more income, but many people living in retirement or not far from it are ahead of the game if they take the standard deduction.
If you decide the standard deduction makes the most sense, one good way to shelter income is by saving more in tax-advantaged retirement accounts. You can do it as long as you have earned income, such as income from a part-time job. If you have a 401(k), 403(b) or a 457 at work or you operate a small business, you can save $16,500 with an additional $5,500 catch-up contribution if you're older than 55. If your employer doesn't offer a retirement planning account, then you can still save in a traditional IRA, but those limits are lower -- $5,000 with a $1,000 catchup contribution.
Tailoring your tax-advantaged savings to keep you from sliding into 25 percent tax rate territory is definitely worth the effort. Why give Uncle Sam more than his due?

Joe Biden, the man (we use that term loosely) who wishes to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency, defamed truck driver Curtis Dunn with a false accusation of killing Biden's wife and daughter while driving drunk.
- Last month INSIDE EDITION reported that in December 2007, Biden opened up to a group of University of Iowa students, saying, "Let me tell you a little story. My wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree, a tractor trailer, a guy who allegedly, and I never pursued it, drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family, killed my wife instantly, killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons."
Noting that "Curtis Dunn was cleared of any wrongdoing in the accident, but the tragedy would haunt him for the rest of his life, until his own death in 1999," and that a police investigation found that neither driver in the accident had consumed alcohol, this makes Biden a liar. It matters that he is a liar because his lies affect Mr. Dunn's family. We doubt that anyone would want someone, even if he suffered the kind of tragedy that Mr. Biden did, to call one's deceased father a drunk driver with blood on his hands. For the record,
- "The rumor about alcohol being involved by either party, especially the truck driver, is incorrect," said Jerome O. Herlihy, a Delaware Superior Court judge who was chief deputy attorney general and worked with crash investigators in 1972.
"If it were some part of a cause of the accident, there would have been a charge, simply because if you're driving under the influence and kill someone in the process — whether it's the wife of a U.S. senator or anybody else — there's going to be a charge," he said.
We are of course sorry that the fatal accident took place no matter who was at fault. However, the fact that Biden made this false accusation against a man who is no longer alive to defend his reputation in court–noting that a false accusation of a felony like killing someone while driving drunk is automatically slander or libel–while bringing untold grief and pain to the man's family makes Biden a coward as well. Any questions?

The Wrong Angle
By Taz
from Catonsville,Md
Purchase Reason
When I saw this poster of this beautiful rose, I fell in love. When I received the first poster I was not happy because the picture was shot on an angle not showing the center of the rose like the advertised poster. I called an expressed my feelings about the poster and a very kind sales lady decideed to send out another poster. She really made my day. When I received the second poster it was the exact same poster. I still really love Allposters and I would still recommend the company but something must be but in place to ensure the customer get what they see. I like my poster but I am not in love with, i really fell in love the advertised poster, this is the second time I have experience this out of the many times I have purchased posters.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Katie Salen on the first day of school at Quest to Learn in New York City.
Katie Salen is a game designer, executive director of the Institute of Play and recently appointed professor in the College of Computing and Digital Media at DePaul University. Several years ago, while teaching at Parsons The New School for Design, Salen and her collaborators began more closely observing how kids learned and played videogames. Kids spent hours unpacking the rules and learning the idiosyncrasies of each gaming environment; they developed creative "work-arounds" when they discovered better ways of playing or advancing in a particular game; they shared their knowledge with each other; and, perhaps most basically and most importantly, they went back again and again and again in order to master the game. What would it be like, they wondered, if kids gobbled up school like they gobbled up these games? What would school be like if—instead of demonizing the very activities that got kids concentrating, thinking critically, and collaborating—educators embraced gaming as an innovative platform for education? And they weren't just thinking about video games, but games in general. What is it about games that hook kids, be it Monopoly or Skip-Bo or chess? After years of research and experimentation to harness the best games have to offer and rethink education in the process, Salen helped open Quest to Learn, a public middle school in New York City, in 2009 . Now, this new model of education is going national and the first stop is Chicago, where ChicagoQuest opened to sixth and seventh graders last week.
My son is one of those 6th graders. As the mother of a kid who is smart and curious and imaginative and has never even remotely liked school, much less felt engaged by it, I can say that ChicagoQuest and the methodology that Salen developed at Quest to Learn is, as the Quest team likes to say, a revolutionary movement in education.
It's been difficult describing to friends and family what the Quest model would "look" like in a school setting. And it's been difficult to know how to answer well-meaning questions of concern, like this one from my father: "I read recently that 40% of today's high school students don't know which century the Civil War occurred in. Please tell me that at this new school he'll learn when the Civil War took place." Friends and the parents of my son's friends were curious. But quite often, the moment I mentioned that game designers were among the developers of the model for the school, the parent I was talking to would get distracted, trying very hard not to roll their eyes or to mask their concern for my sanity. I found that it was never a good thing to start a conversation by trying to convince someone that the kids weren't going to be playing video games all day.
After week 1, I can say that my son did not for one moment have a videogame controller in his hand at school. He spent much of the week working in small groups; the uniformly enthusiastic team of teachers worked closely with the kids to develop the foundation for collaboration and cross-functional teamwork that are among the core values of the school. Interdisciplinary classes that integrate math and language, math and science, English and social studies (ah, an integrated humanities class!), and basic design and critical thinking are the building blocks of the curriculum.
I recently read a New York Times op-ed piece on Cathy Davidson, another digital learning expert that CHF is pleased to be presenting this fall. Davidson asserts that 65% of the jobs that will be available to our kids 20 years from now have not even been invented yet. Schools like ChicagoQuest are taking the realities of 21st century educational theory, globalism, and the economy and revolutionizing how kids are learning. I know I'll be in the audience on Saturday, Nov. 12 to hear Katie Salen discuss the origins, successes, and aspirations of the Quest schools. Whether you are parent or not, if you are someone interested in how education must adapt and innovate for our wired world, I encourage you to be there, too.

WELL, well, Terry Banfield: how did I know that your cage would be rattled with my response to your letter of the January 9 re-child punishment and the Bible!
How very cunning of you to twist my response! I actually informed you that you were composing the negative scriptures with child punishment. It's a pity that a section of my original response to you was omitted so I will quote them again. Mark Chapter 10 verse 16 – "Then He (Jesus) took the children in His arms and Blessed them." Ephesians Chapter 6 verse 14 warns fathers not to exasperate or provoke their children, but to bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Colossians Chapter 3 verse 21 tells us not to embitter our children as they will not be discouraged. Terry Banfield, in the closing days of time, you (as an atheist) and I (as a Christian) will surely know who believed and accepted the truths of "superstitious goat herders". I pray that you will come to your senses and ignore questionable science that is fallible in most cases.

London - Britain's Holly Becker is the queen of interiors blogs, and her website Decor8 (decor8blog.com), has spawned a bestselling book.
Now she has a second out: Decorate Workshop, a step-by-step guide to grappling with your own interiors project, beautifully illustrated with inspiring pictures.
Becker shares her best tips for small budgets:
"Shop around your own home before heading to the shops. Go from room to room and list what may work better in another space. Often, swopping round curtains, throws, a lamp, some pillows and a few decorative objects can make a huge difference. You may not need to buy anything new at all.
"If you are bored, embellish: stitch some trim to your plain linen curtains or paint your curtain rod a fun colour – hot pink, say. If your bathroom doesn't excite you, create a focal point through a beautifully patterned shower curtain, rugs and towels.
"Turn things you already have - books, magazines, vintage cutlery - into something decorative with some thought to their arrangement. Perhaps your teas could go into glass jars arranged on a shelf above your counter. Maybe those bath products would look nicer poured into dispensers or see-through bottles to create a spa-at-home vibe."
"Perhaps your linens are too pretty to keep in a closet - stack them in a cabinet with glass doors instead."
"Embrace happy accidents… maybe you'll hang the wallpaper upside-down (I did this once). Stepping back, you may prefer the pattern upside-down and even find it a great conversation piece. Often the wonky bits bring personality and charm into a home.

New CEO Signals end of Turnaround at Edmonton's ZCL
EDMONTON - After leading a dramatic turnaround at ZCL Composites, outgoing CEO Rod Graham is clearly relishing his next role.
Once new boss Ron Bachmeier takes over the top job Aug. 8, Graham will get to be a regular dad once again, moving back to the Calgary home he shares with his wife and three kids.
"We've got an eight-year-old, a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old, and because of athletics and academics it was just too difficult to move them here," says Graham.
"For two years now I've been going back and forth, and I've kind of missed two years of my kids' growing up. So I'm really looking forward to driving the kids to school in September," he says.
Of course, that's not all the former private equity financier will be doing. Graham will remain a director of ZCL — a maker of environmentally friendly fibreglass storage tanks for the oil and gas industry — while also serving on the boards of four other companies.

Crazy for Crabbing
Searching for new adventure in the Oregon outdoors? Consider going back to school for an adventure that may leave you a little crabby; head to the Yaquina Bay at Newport to find a new way to catch fresh Dungeness crabs.
Each October, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife offers a unique Outdoor Skills class that teaches folks how to catch their supper from the sea. It's the sort of experience that draws lots of beginners to Yaquina Bay at Newport, noted instructor Mark Newell. He said that the class is perfectly suited to folks who want to learn the ropes of Dungeness crabbing.
"We want people to care about the environment and the best way to do that is to get them out enjoying it. Crabbing is a great family activity that they can do together, boating, pulling pots and all of that. There are lots of places to do it."
One of those places is along Newport's Bayfront Avenue where Steven DeMars demonstrated his new gear and technique that catches crabs called the "CrabHawk." DeMars said that CrabHawk (the name comes from a South American raptor that actually eats crab) allows anyone with a rod and reel to cast the trap from a dock or shoreline to reach the big crabs. He came up with the idea after years of frustration with traditional traps and pots that were big, heavy, messy and limited him to one spot on the dock. The CrabHawk gives the fisher lightweight portability and flexibility to move to a new spot.
Initially, DeMars used coat hangers and old fishing net to create different prototypes. It took a couple of years to perfect the stainless steel folding trap that opens like a book at the bottom. The crabs walk onto the trap to feast on the chicken drumstick that's used for bait. Why chicken? "The crabs love chicken and sea lions don't! That's why it works so well. I've had three keepers in one pull and when the crabs are really running, it's nothing to get doubles every other pull," said DeMars.
DeMars recommends a ten or eleven-foot rod that holds a spinning reel loaded with 50 pound test line. He can easily cast the CrabHawk 150 feet into Yaquina Bay, then prop up the rod and watch the rod tip for a bite. "That's the key to this; the fact that you can see the bite. If you're a fisherman and a crabber you get the best of both worlds," he said.
The release of small crabs is easier than traps too; simply unfold the trap and the small crabs fall right back into the bay. Recently, DeMars has become a part of the ODFW crabbing classes, demonstrating how his new, innovative design works and catching lots of new customers along the way.

MunchausenByProxy 13 Oct 2012, 09:40 posted on 0 0
Curious that the specs do not list LTE antenna, especially since the processor is capable of LTE and that is the standard for today's smartphones. I thought I have seen a couple descriptions of this phone that list it as having LTE, so perhaps when the phone is officially announced, we will see that included. It would also make sense since the Ativ S is basically the same phone as the Galaxy S III (which has LTE) but with the WP8 OS. Guess it will be a few more weeks until we know for sure.
1. the888pineapple888 (Posts: 1; Member since: 15 Oct 2012)
I don't think carriers have been officially announced yet. I think once a carrier like Verizon or at&t that have lte is announced, the version of the ativ s they get will have lte......could be wrong though.
2. rennyavm (Posts: 1; Member since: 08 Jan 2013)
Expansys-USA posts two versions of the Ativ S, the SGH-I8750 and the SGH-T899M. I understand that the T899M is the T-mobile version (though unlocked on expansys) which supports the 1700 HSPA band and 1700/2100 LTE (which would not necessarily be compatible with other networks than T-mobile).
I've found remarkably little about the T899M otherwise; phonearena doesn't list it except that it was the supposed model number for the Samsung Odyssey (Verizon), which is no longer the case.
As far as I can tell for international purposes the T899M is the way to go, or am I missing something?

'We swear by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each other and fight to defend our rights and liberties!' The diggers' oath, 30 November 1854.
The home of Australian democracy
The battle at the Eureka Stockade near Ballarat in 1854 changed Australia forever. It has come to represent popular struggle and has been called the birthplace of Australian democracy.
No votes, no rights
From the early 1850s, hopefuls coming to the Victorian goldfields were required to pay high fees for mining licences and were ill-treated and harassed by the authorities who were meant to protect them. The government dismissed the complaints of this itinerant population, who had no vote and couldn't buy land.
The diggers' flag
By 1854, the diggers of Ballarat were fed up. When their appeal to the government for justice was refused, they declared that they would stop buying gold licences and beneath the diggers' flag – the Southern Cross – swore to defend each other against the authorities. In a time of great hardship and brutal law their resistance was brave. The men of the stockade were risking all and the flag that came to represent their courage and vision now hangs in the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka as a monument to their struggle.
Battle for victory
Before dawn on 3 December 1854, government troops stormed the diggers' flimsy stockade at Eureka Lead, Ballarat. In a fiery battle that lasted only 20 minutes, more than 30 men were killed. Charged with high treason, the diggers' leaders were all eventually acquitted. Within a year the diggers won the vote and the hated gold licence was abolished.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/9/2013 (1425 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A veteran Manitoba criminal lawyer has been stripped of his licence following repeated procedural and ethical violations.
Ron Nadeau was disbarred following a recent hearing before the Law Society of Manitoba. He had been charged with 60 violations, which were uncovered by an audit of his private practice.
"It's the most serious disposition we can arrive at," Alan Fineblit, CEO of the law society, told the Free Press this week. "It's taking away someone's livelihood forever."
The rare declaration is a product of the extremely serious breaches committed by Nadeau. On average, the law society disbars fewer than one lawyer a year.
"The deeper we dug, the more we found," said Fineblit. This also marked the fourth time in his legal career, which began in 1990, Nadeau had been called on the carpet for his conduct.
In the most serious example of this recent case, Nadeau was found to have improperly pocketed retainer fees from clients rather than placing them in trust as is required.
Nadeau was based out of Winnipeg doing plenty of work in northern Manitoba communities and would often take payment from clients in the form of credits on his Northern Store account. He would then use the money to purchase groceries, clothing and other items such as cigars.
"You're not allowed to take money on your retainers. He was using it for personal use and before he was entitled to do so," said Fineblit.
He said no criminal investigation has resulted, as it appears the services that were paid for were in fact rendered.
But Nadeau made his personal situation worse by misleading the law society when questioned about it and even falsifying records in an attempt to cover up what he'd done, Fineblit said.
The method of payment he received made it difficult for authorities to initially detect.
And all of this was occurring while Nadeau was already under the watchful eye of the governing body after being found guilty of seven counts of professional misconduct in 2011.
His penalty at that time was a 60-day suspension, $7,000 fine and an order to only resume his practice under supervision.
Nadeau was also banned from having a trust account, or any signing authority on a trust account. That meant retainer fees were supposed to go through his supervisors.
His offences in that previous case also included improper handling of trust cheques, failing to remit GST and PST and failing to provide proper documentation to the law society.
Nadeau was also found guilty of five counts of professional misconduct in 2006 and 10 counts of professional misconduct in 2005.
All those incidents primarily involved failing to keep proper, up-to-date records. He was given $8,500 in fines and court costs as a result of both hearings.
"We've cut him a lot of slack over the years and tried to work with him," Fineblit said this week.
"But he started to kind of work around that."

Melbourne Airport Noise ToolThe Melbourne Airport Noise Tool shows the current approved noise forecasts (2008 Master Plan) and what is now proposed (2013 Master Plan). It also includes noise forecasts for the proposed third runway.
We'll explain the official plans of current and future noise, and how they impact you. Launch tool
What is Melbourne Airport doing about noise?
By comparison to other Australian airports, Melbourne Airport's noise footprint on surrounding urban areas is considerably less.
Melbourne Airport works with Airservices, governments and airline carriers to manage noise in the following ways:
- Noise abatement procedures – the size and shape of noise contours around an airport resulting from aircraft operations can be influenced by both in-flight and ground-based operational procedures;
- Compatible land-use planning to direct incompatible land uses (such as homes, schools, etc.) away from the airport environs and flight paths and to encourage compatible land uses (such as industrial, commercial, etc.) to locate around the airport facilities;
- Operating restrictions to limit or reduce an aircraft's access to the airport, for example by limiting or prohibiting noisy aircraft.

Dogs are back on the to-do list for the Worcester City Council.
This time, it's easier. The state's "An Act Further Regulating Animal Control," in force for a month, puts the hard-fought pit bull ordinance the city enacted last year in the doghouse. Officials must bring the city into compliance with state rules — and those rules include a firm "no" on breed-specific regulations.
Worcester will drop requirements that pit bulls be licensed, registered and muzzled in public. But the new rules don't let up on irresponsible dog owners.The state delineates that a dog is dangerous if it attacks a person or domestic animal without justification, or otherwise behaves in a way a reasonable person would interpret as an imminent and serious threat.
Now, instead of the police chief ordering measures against problem dogs — restraint, removal from the city, or euthanasia — the city will have a complaint and hearing procedure. According to City Manager Michael V. O'Brien, hearings will be conducted by Elvira Guardiola, the city's parking administrator and municipal hearing officer, who will decide whether a dog should be confined to the owner's premises, muzzled in public, neutered, or destroyed.
For responsible owners of pit bulls, the state has made life a little easier. But owners of any breed still cannot be lax or irresponsible. People and property must be kept safe from their pets.
According to City Solicitor David M. Moore, the amended city ordinance — retroactive to Nov. 1 if it is adopted by the City Council — will retain key provisions. Owners must not allow dogs to run free off their premises; to be in any city park, playground or public cemetery; or to be in public downtown areas unless the dog is licensed at an address in that area.
At the heart of the rules, both new and old: pet owners must respect others, beginning with the innocent animal in their trust.

Gandhinagar, Sep 17 (ANI): Gujarat Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, who turned 63 on Tuesday, met his mother Hiraben here to seek her blessings.
"This is one of life's great opportunities, a mother's blessings," Modi told media after meeting his 94-year-old mother.
He further thanked his supporters and followers across the nation for their greetings.
"I have faith that people's blessings won't go waste, it will give me strength to go on with my work."
Modi said September 17 also happens to be the day of the worship of Lord Viswakarma, the mechanic-god and this day signifies the day of the dignity of labour.
"On 17th September our country celebrates Vishwakarma Day, today is the day for the dignity of labours. On this day, Sardar Patel liberated Hyderabad from the rule of Nizam's," he added.
BJP on Friday announced Modi as its prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 general elections.
The announcement came after a meeting of the party's parliamentary board in Delhi, which unanimously decided to project Modi as the prime ministerial candidate.
Modi assured his party workers and supporters that he would leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the BJP emerges victorious in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
"With the blessings of the national leadership and love of the party workers, I am sure we will win," he added. (ANI)

Gale – Metastatic Breast Cancer, Numbness in Arm, Taste in Mouth, Shortness of Breath, Stiff Tongue, Neuropathy in Feet, Kidney Dysfunction
Gale was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in September 2015. She underwent a full course of radiation and seven weeks of chemotherapy before quitting because it was extremely toxic to her body. Gale also tried other alternative treatments such as acupuncture and integrative medicine but none were effective. The symptoms of her cancer included numbness in the right arm, metallic taste in her mouth when eating, shortness of breath, neuropathy in her feet and kidney dysfunction. After a few treatments, she noticed that her symptoms have decreased. She no longer experiences numbness in her arm, shortness of breath or neuropathy in her feet.*
*Patient results may vary and there is no guarantee of performance.

One aspect about fashion that I love, is the intersection between clothing and music. All musicians that I have the utmost respect for have also been trendsetters sartorially, as well as, through their music. I always think about Michael Jackson's sequined gloves, socks and jackets, as well as, the uniforms of bands from the '60s. Punk music has always had a super recognizable aesthetic, and has found mainstream recognition— most recently as the theme of the 2013 Met Gala. While the theme puzzled many attendees who were seemingly confused as to how to make a Valentino gown appear punk, the unofficial uniform of patchwork jackets and shaved heads is one that still appeals to me.
This Fashionisto's outfit intrigued me because of all of the patches on his studded vest. I'm a huge fan of semi-DIY projects—things that let you integrate aspects of your personality, but don't require more work than adding embellishments. He explained some of his pins and patches to me, pointing to one on his chest as his favorite. He described the depicted band, The Lawrence Arms, as, "A good punk group from Chicago." While my knowledge of good punk groups is limited to "The Basics" tab on iTunes, I love that this Fashionisto's love for music bleeds into his personal style, as well as, casual conversation.
While I would never advocate copying a style that feels inauthentic to you, integrating your music taste into your clothing is incredibly easy. I like to wear band T-shirts, as well as, incorporate pins of musicians into my outfits. It's pleasantly surprising how many interesting conversations have been sparked by these pieces. Support your artists and possibly make new friends by proudly donning your favorite concert merchandise or semi-DIY projects.

It gets annoying. These Render leaks. It is a cruel tease, and most of the time, they are not what we actually get when the final product hits the market. The HTC M7 has become a highly-anticipated phone, and there already has been a "render leak" that displayed an edge-to-edge screen. That got me kind of excited, since the HTC DNA's screen is so clear and crisp, an edge-to-edge would look pretty amazing.
Then we get on the internet today, and a NEW picture of an unknown HTC poses pretty in pictures. Yes, the images on this page are supposedly what the ACTUAL M7 is going to look like. Android Police has been debunking the old photo leaks, and are pretty sure that this one is legit. I would have to agree on these photos. We get a front and back image that displays all the familiar attributes of an HTC phone. Also below, you find some screenshots of the supposed Sense 5 showing us what it could look like. Sense is getting slightly better folks, but all that white still gets to me.
Are these real? Possibly. In time we shall tell. Let us know what you guys think or if you have heard anything.

In Reply to: Crows wedding day posted by Jemima Dunsmore on March 02, 2009 at 12:17:
: I heard one time that the 1st March was said to be "the crows wedding day". I would love to know, is this a saying?
There's an old saying or rhyme in the UK:
"On the first of March the crows begin to search;
By the first of April they are sitting still;
By the first of May they have flown away!
Croupin', greedy, back again, wi' October's wind and rain."
This can be found on page 610 of The Encyclopaedia of Superstitions, Folklore, and the Occult Sciences of the World, Volume II, edited by Cora Linn Daniels, and C. M. Stevans. They don't give a date, but at http://www.famous-proverbs.com/19th_Century_Proverbs.htm, the first line of the verse is quoted, and dated to the middle of the 19th century.
I don't know of anything traditional specifically involving crows' weddings on March 1st, although in Victorian eyes I suppose you might be expected to get married before setting up home together. But perhaps we need someome from Ireland to help us. At http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/learning/getwritingni/sp_sf_crowswedding.shtml we have a recent poem from one Susan Farrell in Rostrevor, whose poem ends:
"An invitation stick down the chimney,
to the crows' wedding,
the first of March."
An Irish legend making a stronger link than I've been able to make would be pleasing.

PM Post-Cabinet Press Conference: 01 July 2013
By The Scoop Team
***Former High Court Judge Andrew McGechan has become the new Inspector General of Intelligence and Security.
Former High Court Judge Andrew McGechan has become the new Inspector General of Intelligence and Security.
Prime Minister John Key says the appointment is seen as an interim position.
"I'm grateful Mr McGechan has agreed to move into this important position at a time of great change within the NZ intelligence community."
Mr McGechan replaces Paul Nezor, who began his tenure in 2004.
The GSCB is currently undergoing a series of internal reforms, in line with the recommendations of a report by cabinet secretary Rebecca Kitteridge.
Mr Key says the organisation is well on the way to making these changes but that there is still work to be done.
"I'm under no illusions that bringing about these changes and regaining the public trust will be easy," he says.
Mr Key went on to speak about the governments work promoting tourism, with an additional $158 million allocated to the sector in this years Budget.
$28 million of this is directed at funding "business innovation and growth initiatives".
Mr Key faced questions about Christchurch City Council's loss of accreditation to issue building consensts, a move he describes as "unprecedented."
"I don't think there's any other city council that's lost its authority," he says.
The Prime Minister said this dispute must be resolved as soon as possible, describing the matter as critical for the Christchurch rebuild.
When asked for his thoughts on the abuse allegations against Owen Glenn, Mr Key said he took the man at his word and continued to see merit in the domestic violence inquiry Glenn is leading.
"At the end of the day he's free to spend his money as he sees fit," says Mr Key.
When asked about recent allegations that the government is planning to step up efforts to push the mentally ill off the benefit and into full time work, Mr Key said he was unable to comment.
He said he had not read the article in which these claims were made and said the government had a wide ranging welfare reform agenda.***

Screen Australia will pump more than $5 million into three locally-produced films, including a sequel to Wolf Creek, which starred John Jarratt.
The $5.5 million investment will trigger more than $17 million in production, Screen Australia said in a statement.
Writer/director brothers Michael and Peter Spiereg, who shot the vampire flick Daybreakers in Brisbane, are behind Predestination, a film noir science-fiction crime thriller.
Predestination is about the life of a temporal agent who has to recruit his younger self to pursue the one criminal who has eluded him for a lifetime.
It will be produced by Paddy McDonald and Tim McGahan, and is based on the short story by revered sci-fi author Robert A Heinlein.
Well-known indigenous actor David Gulpilil will team with veteran filmmaker Rolf de Heer on Charlie's County, an uplifting tragi-comic portrait of one man's struggle to define himself as an Aboriginal in modern Australia.
According to reports, Jarratt has been cast in Wolf Creek 2, which will be directed by Greg McLean, who along with Aaron Sterns, wrote the script.
Screen Australia's chief executive Ruth Harley said the decision to finance a second instalment of Wolf Creek after seven years was to tap into an existing fan bases.
"The long-awaited return of the mad killer Mick Taylor in the sequel to Wolf Creek comes from an experienced team which can take advantage of the significant pre-existing market awareness both in Australia and overseas," Harley said in the statement.

Welcome to the Nelson Mandela Digital Archive Project. Our aim is to locate, document, digitise, and provide access to all archival materials related to Nelson Mandela. This is a work in progress. Here is a selection of materials arranged in exhibits for your enjoyment.
Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory
Title: Long Walk Original Manuscript (Image #468)
Date: 1975
Transcript: (NOTE: Re my speech at Addis check and add I dealt with the Pietermaritzburg conference, the demand of a National Convention and the 3 days strike that followed, as well as the strong arm methods the enemy used to crush the strike).
There Oliver and I parted and he left for London, promising to join us in Ghana while Robbie Resha and I prepared to tour the rest of the continent. Meantime Mzwayi Pilisco was active introducing me to various people including ambassadors and members of the liberation mevements.
I had already met the ambassadors of Guinea and Mali in Addis and the latter had several discussions with us. We now met the ambassadors of China, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Ghana, Morocco, Indonesia and Yugoslavia. The Soviet embassy was the first we contacted but until the mometn of my departure we had not heard from him.
We also met Sam Nujoma, leader of SWAPO, the Cairo representative of the PAC Vusumzi Make and his wife Maya Angelou (?) and John (?) Chakela, the representative of the Basutholand Congress Party.
President Nasser had an impressive programme of economic development based on African socialism and involving the cutting down of the right of private ownership in land, nationalisation of important sectors of the economy, rapid industrialisation, the clearing of slums and building

You introduce a new concept -- forcing -- that's absent in my consideration. But the fact is that there's no forcing in it: if I freely decide to ignore noise, I'm not being forced either by others or by me.

Well- a pretty successful month here in running numbers. Total for April is 83.5. Yes I realize I could go home and punch out a few more miles, but my legs are EXHAUSTED! Not from the miles- but from another Blevins Family home improvement project.... Seriously people, it never ends in our house.
This latest construction was a new harwood floor for my craft room. Two things you might be laughing at, that I bought hardwood floor for a CRAFT room and the fact that I actually have a CRAFT room.... I'm one of those people who has her hobby room (DUH!) and I finally was able to convince DH that it really needed a paint job, and new flooring and well, a few 'other' improvements. Yes- I'm a tad bit spoiled.....
Anyway- my poor legs are exhausted from carrying the wood planks upstairs, then bending and so to install the floor, followed by carrying the leftover pieces down into the basement.... lots of wear on these legs. But- be proud friends, it sure as heck didn't stop me from tackling my tempo Tuesday run today--- 5 miles in 44:55.... BOOM! I love it!
I'm hoping next month I can finally break the 100 mile month mark, particularly given that come the 15th I'm not working anymore. Yup- the time has come and I can not wait! I get to spend the whole sumemr with DS at the pool and running as MUCH as possible. I'm ready for my next life-- and it WILL be filled with more running!
Happy running friends-- Enjoy your week!

I am broadly interested in the fundamental laws of nature, and more specifically in the quantum nature of space and time. My research thus focuses on quantum gravity, but also touches on quantum foundations, cosmology, and physics beyond the standard model.
Much of my past research has been dedicated to studying the possibility of finding experimental evidence for quantum gravity. In the area of quantum gravity phenomenology, we develop models whose purpose is to quantify general properties expected of quantum gravitational effects, like the occurrence of a minimal length scale as UV-regulator, deviations from General Relativity, extra dimensions, modifications of Lorentz-invariance, or the generalized uncertainty principle. I find it promising to examine interrelationships between these topics, and I strive to develop models that are useful to directly test a given assumption. The purpose of these models is to give guidance to the development of the theory, for example by ruling out the presence of Lorentz-invariance violation, geometrical defects, or decoherence due to space-time-fluctuations.
In particular, I worked out in 2003 a model which includes the effects of a minimal length scale into quantum field theory as an effective description of a Planck-scale resolution limit due to quantum gravitational effects [hep-th/0305262]. This model is related to Deformed Special Relativity [hep-th/0510245, hep-th/0702016], but differs in the implementation of the minimal length [hep-th/0603032, gr-qc/0612167]. In particular, my model does not cause problems with locality, multi-particle states, or Lorentz-invariance. More details on this type of models can be found in my review: [arxiv:1203.6191].
More recently, I started working on applications of the gauge-gravity duality to condensed matter systems, strange metals in particular. I have worked out a new type of duality which is obtained by combining the AdS/CFT duality with analogue gravity [arXiv:1412.4220, arXiv:1508.00732].
