Maybe, but it's hard to speculate since you haven't provided any data. :-) Are you running PG on the same hardware you used for Oracle? Have you tuned postgresql.conf? What is the actual runtime of your query under Oracle with a btree index, Oracle with a bitmap index, and PostgreSQL with a btree index? It's not immediately obvious to me why a bitmap index would be better for a case with so many distinct values. Seems like the bitmap would tend to be sparse. But I'm just hand-waving here, since we have no actual performance data to look at. Keep in mind that PostgreSQL will construct an in-memory bitmap from a B-tree index in some situations, which can be quite fast. That begs the question of what the planner is deciding to do now - it would be really helpful if you could post some EXPLAIN ANALYZE results. > Are there any other clever workarounds to boosting performance involving > low queries on low cardinality columns ? i.e avoiding a full table scan ? Here again, if you post the EXPLAIN ANALYZE results from your queries, it might be possible for folks on this list to offer some more specific suggestions. If you query mostly on this column, you could try clustering the table on that column (and re-analyzing). ...Robert

I've lusted after flower crowns for a long time and if you follow me on Twitter, you'll know all about my love for the hair accessory. But it's been really difficult to find one that I absolutely love and want to pay for. A lot of them are either not what I want or so expensive I can't afford them anyway.
So after a bit of research, I decided to dive into the world of DIY Flower Crowns.
Excuse any bad photography, I was also watching Green Street while doing this and if you know anything about Charlie Hunnam, you'll understand how I could get distracted.
Also, I have to point out that these flowers cost me very little. The long yellow and pink garlands were only $2.50 each and they have roughly 50 flowers on them so that's a lot of flower crown for not a lot of money. The larger flowers cost a little more but I bought fewer because they would act as the center piece of the headband.
- Fake Flowers
- Floral Wire (various colours)
- Floral Tape
- Wire Cutters
- Scissors
- Beads
I started off by measuring my head with the floral wire, adding two thumbs worth of wire and then chopping it to size. That should fit around your head nicely. I wrapped the wire around at the ends and tucked it around itself so there aren't any wire ends poking through.
Then I trimmed the fake flowers to the size I wanted and attached them to the wire headband with more floral wire. I spent a while arranging the flowers so they suited the headpiece and looked the way I wanted.
I also strung beads on some floral wire and worked that into my floral crowns (I made more than one).
When I was happy with my flower crown, I used floral tape to hide any wire I didn't want on show.
I also wanted to make the headband a bit bigger so it can be adjusted depending on people's head size.
Are you going to make your own flower crown?

Geo-graphically Speaking
Nashville graphic design guru creates the look and feel of the places that we call home
by Nancy Cason
Joel Anderson is a talented guy who not only makes things, he makes things happen, all while balancing his roles as artist and designer, entrepreneur and community advocate, husband and father of four. As head of Anderson Design Group—specialists in illustrative design, branding, and product development—Anderson has become his own best client with the production of a dozen lines of original fine-art posters, including the award-winning Spirit of Nashville series.
His graphic images of Music City legends and landmarks were originally designs for a limited-run promotional calendar, Anderson explained. "I wanted to show my clients in New York and L.A. that Nashville is a hip, creative place with a lot going on." The images were so visually compelling, clients began ripping pages from their calendars and framing their favorites. As word spread and public demand grew, more iconic images were added.
Anderson and his team of gifted illustrators focused on communicating the intangible: the unique character of Music City that fosters a sense of belonging and a shared community spirit among locals and visitors alike. And while the posters became immediately collectible as art for the home and office, Deana Ivey of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corporation acknowledges their unexpected civic contribution. "Anderson Design Group has captured the heart of Nashville and showcased it on a national and international stage. The firm's Spirit of Nashville designs promote our music brand, deep history, and iconic attractions with a vintage and unique twist."
Is ADG the new Hatch? Not at all, Anderson says, although they do share an innovative approach to design and dedication to craft. Anderson insists that each design begins as a pencil sketch and ensures that the final product, although ultimately produced on the computer, retains a handmade look, with hand lettering or classic fonts and a color palette that appears aged and imperfect.
But it's his vintage-style aesthetic, with imagery and themes reflective of early-to-mid-twentieth-century posters, that makes his designs instantly recognizable and universally appealing. Like good advertising, Anderson's artwork communicates on an emotional level, evoking nostalgia for the past. The Belle Meade Theater, with classic film imagery from the '40s and the signature theater marquee of the same period, brings to mind a time of innocence and excitement ("Fall in love at the movies!"). The Loveless Café recalls the thrill of a back-roads drive in Dad's '53 Buick to a favorite café for country ham and scratch-made biscuits. Anderson notes, "There is a hunger in our culture to get back to the basics, to hold onto those things that are timeless, authentic, and that bring us joy. Our artwork taps into these values, while communicating that this is something from another time."
Anderson has also created destination posters that inspire wanderlust. The World Travel posters boast flat planes of bold color that draw our attention to exotic locales—the Taj Mahal and Venice at sunset—triggering memories of fabulous travels or adding new itineraries to our bucket list. Scenes of national parks and great American cities from The Art & Soul of America series capture the essence of familiar sites—glorious palm trees and mountains framing a concrete L.A. skyline, and the pastoral Great Smoky Mountains where a family of bears might just appear at any moment.
Anderson provides insight into the conceptual challenges of pinning down the distinguishing features that make a place immediately recognizable. "In designing the Bluebird Café poster, we worked through many options. For instance, we found that the physical building is uninspiring, and the idea of a person sitting on a stool playing a guitar could fit any number of music venues in Nashville. Finally, we captured the unique experience of dining and listening to music at the Bluebird with a musical bluebird character illuminated in a round spotlight, with a knife and fork on either side."
While Anderson's group continues to design for clients, poster sales now account for 70 percent of his business, and he's recently expanded the reach of his artwork by licensing the four hundred plus designs in his digital catalogue for reproduction on a variety of gift items. Anderson gratefully gives back to the community that has given him so much. He is deeply involved in mentoring local graphic design students, keeps all his business local, and features the products of other Nashville "makers" in his Studio Store. He also donates 10 percent of the profits from Spirit of Nashville poster sales to several local organizations—folks that, in Anderson's words, are "doing good and changing lives."

Nice list of questions for Democratic presidential candidates
The complete list is here.
A recent study found that over half the country now derives part or all of its income from the federal government. Three of the richest counties in the country are in the D.C. suburbs, a telling indicator of just how bloated with taxpayer dollars Washington has become. The federal government is today pervasive in our day-to-day lives, from cradle to grave, from the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep. Do you think these trends are healthy? Looking at the premise of this question, would you agree or disagree federal government is getting too large, too influential, and too pervasive? Do you think it's appropriate for drug cops to be making medical policy? What is your philosophical approach to federalism? What issues do you feel are best decided at the national level? What issues should be left to the states? Is there any underlying principle you use in separating one from the other, or would you make such decisions ad hoc? Do you believe the U.S. military should be deployed for humanitarian missions? Do you think an atheist could be president? Do you think an atheist should be? Assuming you generally agreed with an atheist on more issues than the alternatives in a given election, would you vote for one? Name five things you think are none of the federal government's business. What is your view of the pardon power and executive clemency? Should it be used frequently? Should it be use to show mercy and forgiveness or to correct injustices that slip through the cracks? Neither? Both? Is there any type of speech you believe should be criminalized? Do you promise not to claim for yourself any of the executive powers you've criticized the Bush administration for claiming? What is your position on Kelo vs. New London? Under what circumstances would it be appropriate for a government to seize land from one private party and give it to another? What federal crimes will you instruct the Justice Department to make a priority during your administration? Are there any currently private industries that you believe are "too important" to be left to the private sector? Oil and gas? Health care? Google? America by far and away has the highest prison population in the world. Does this concern you? Are there any federal crimes you feel should be repealed from the books, or devolved to the states? What's your philosophical approach to risk assessment and the precautionary principle? Do you think government should ban products, treatments, and procedures until they're proven safe, or permit them until they show signs of being unsafe? Do you think it's a legitimate function of government to protect people from making bad decisions or prevent them from developing bad habits? Even if those habit or decisions don't directly affect anyone else? How far should the government in preventing bad habits and bad decisions? In other words, should the government's role be merely advisory, or should it criminalize things like gambling, pornography, drug use, or trans fats? Should members of Congress be required to follow all of the laws that they pass? Should members be required to read each bill before voting on it? Would you support a sunset provision requiring Congress to revisit and re-pass each law after five years?

Hi there,
Not quite sure how to go about this, but a client has asked for a "mini enquiry form" (name, email, message) on the right hand side of every page. How do I do this without having to make all pages into "Form" page types?
I've done a few searches in the forums etc, but can't find what I'm looking for, so hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,

Palassou, now in his 11th year as a teacher, actually came close to becoming an astronaut. Well not too close. He was among 197 teachers in NEAT--NASA's Network of Educator Astronaut Teachers--to compete for a chance to fly aboard a future space shuttle. NASA picked three, not him, but he was chosen to go to the August launch of Endeavour, spending a week at the Kennedy Space Center as a special guest of NASA. He met Barbara Morgan, a fellow teacher and one of the seven Endeavour astronauts, now 55, who was the backup to Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher selected to fly on the Challenger in 1986. The Challenger exploded shortly after launch, killing all on board and delaying both the shuttle program for several years and civilian participation even longer. Morgan waited 22 years before NASA gave her a spot on Endeavour and Palassou was in a front row seat on the bleachers overlooking the launch site to see her off.
Although he won't be part of a future shuttle launch, NASA likes Palassou's enthusiasm for its space program and his commitment to inspire fifth-graders to focus on science, math and engineering as they move into middle and high school and then to college. In his travels and meetings with scientists, he sees students in India, China and possibly even Russia moving faster and unwaveringly in rocket and space travel careers. Although the U.S. may not have the quantity of the enthusiastic 20- and 30-year-olds in the coming decades to keep the U.S. space program and exploration in front as we had in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, Palassou and fellow teachers on NASA's teacher brigade are determined to provide students with the quality needed to keep this country on top.
A Cal State East Bay graduate with a degree in biological sciences, Palassou worked for the Livermore Lab for seven years, losing interest after the federal government cut funds for an environmental science project he planned to conduct in the High Sierra. Always fascinated by race cars, he quit the lab and joined a friend who was in the sport. For the next six years, Palassou raced on tracks up and down the West Coast and even Daytona and Sebring until the cost of moving into the big time races became more than he could handle. Without Madison Avenue and corporate sponsors, Sears Point would be his best shot at racing as a career. That's when he turned to teaching, first in San Leandro and moving to Pleasanton 11 years ago.
Not married, Palassou calls his 33 fifth-graders this year--and the several hundred he taught earlier--"my family." He likes fifth grade because it's the last year kids have just one teacher who gets to teach all the courses. He's using every chance he has to interest them in science and space travel. Last week, he put a video of the Endeavour launch on "YouTube" (search YouTube for "rpsport") for his students to watch. He's also working with his class on building lunar growth chambers, where they can create different environments in which to grow seeds that Astronaut Morgan took into space. Next summer, he's hoping to join two other Pleasanton teachers on a NASA "weightless" flight over the Gulf of Mexico, affectionately known as the Vomit Comet. The teachers will conduct experiments their students will help design, bringing back results that can be examined and tweaked. On Sept. 29, Palassou will talk about his NASA-related work and space science opportunities along with Astronaut Sally Ride at the Sally Ride Science Festival at Moffett Field in Mountain View for fifth- to eighth-grade girls. Check www.sallyridefestivals.com for more information and be sure to tell Palassou you're from Pleasanton. He might have a special NASA experiment for you to handle.

Well. My first guide on Leaguecraft, Ty for any helpful comments&discussions.
Many ppl says ez suck. I say no to that. I play ez and carry in 80% of my games with a kill death ratio of 2:1 or larger (i dont notice assists so much, but i still get more assists than deaths).
So, please read the full guide, and leave positive comments :D
I will not include a game play example because its up to you to figure out YOUR playstyle of ez.
This is a guide and only a reference, not a command.
Win10cent's guide have a lot about gameplay and stuff, go read that if you are looking for it.
Maybe I will add a hybrid build later. havent figured out what are good hybrid items for ez yet.
Credits to:
Win10cent's guide (read over it and decided to buy trinity)
Any feeders that allowed me to make my full build.
Any teams that allowed me to carry the enemy team.
September 2nd, 2011:
After playing ez for a while, I have decided to change my build a bit. I will still have old builds up thou.
Thank you all for viewing my build and your positive comments :D
Rising Spell Force I would say this is 1 of the best passives in the game. On spell hits, for EACH target hit, gain a stack of 10% attack speed each stack, max of 5 stacks. It is a HUGE attack speed (AS) bonus for ezreal(DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE 50% AS). This can eliminate most needs for AS on ezreal, so you can stack more ad. You can easily gain full stacks from Trueshot Barrage. However, Rising Spell Force is not as useful for ap ez, since auto attack is weak. Mystic Shot Best ability from ez. This skill has amazing damage against other dps/mage at beginning levels, and it also have extremely good scale mid-late game for BOTH ad ez and ap ez (with Lich Bane). The projectile also moves at fast speed, which means u can hit opponents easier.
Note that Mystic Shot receives a 0.2 ap ratio.
Note that each time Mystic Shot hits, it decreases the CD of ALL skills by 1 second. This includes Mystic Shot itself,and is an EXTREMELY important feature. Use Mystic Shot to farm whenever Trueshot Barrage is down; with enough mana pool, Mystic Shot costs next to nothing.
Essence Flux Early game nuking, and the dps source of AP ez. This skill doesnt have a great ap ratio imo (0.6), but it does have low enough cd (+ Mystic Shot 's cdr), which makes this skill powerful. Also, keep in mind it has a 40% AS debuff on enemies and a 40% as buff on allies, so when pushing towers, dragon/baron, or when dps carries r raping your team, cast this skill to buff/debuff and raise/decrease the damage output.
Note: since Essence Flux attack speed debuff is addictive, it is VERY SIGNIFICANT if the enemy do not have 50% attack speed or higher to counteract the debuff. Hitting a tryn with no items with a level 5 Essence Flux technically reduces his damage output in 5 seconds by 40%, because thats how much Essence Flux slows.
Arcane Shift Escape+chase skill. This is your life saver. It doesnt have a super large teleport range, so remember to jump over walls to make a clear escape :D Also, this ability has a ap ratio that is higher than Essence Flux (0.75) but do not use this skill too recklessly, else you will get RAPED becuz of how SQUISHY ez is.
Btw, if u use this skill and jump into dragon/baron with low hp...you will probably die cuz the arrow will fire and aggro dragon/baron, which then gets you killed, and the kill goes to the opponent. So sometimes its not good to do that :D
Also: when master yi Alpha Strike you, WAIT UNTIL HE IS FINISHED before tele, because if you E before he finish, he will land beside you anyways, which means u die.
Trueshot Barrage 1 of most powerful ult ever~but u need to learn how to use it. Deals significant damage, especially on carries, and will lead you to ace if u can use it.
First of all, remember that for each target hit, trueshot barrage gets -8% damage. This mean that, to maximize damage, it has to hit champions first b4 it hits anything else.
Once i hit a fiddlestick with ult (without hitting any1 else) and he died. 100% to zero. And That was before Trueshot had a AD and a 0.9 ap ratio.
Please note that this skill is kind of weak at clearing minions, despite being the only AOE spell that applies to minions for ez.
**Ezreal ult cannot be interrupted unless Ezreal is killed. This includes being flinged or knocked back, although it may be a bug**
Pros and Cons of Ezreal
-Deals a lot of damage (if you do it right ofc)
-Long ranged hits (Q and W and R all have 700 range at the least, however auto attack range is 550.)
-Escape artist (E has very low cd if you think about it, especially after CDR)
-Major early game advantages (long ranged+powerful skillshot nukes and cheap teleport)
-SQUISHY without defensive items (AS IN if you are CAUGHT you will most certainly die from open fire)
-Damage can be TINY if not played well (skill shots win)
-Bad movement speed (Slow - -, however E can solve problems with escaping, as mentioned above)
-Minions CAN DECREASE TOTAL DPS if they stand in between you and your target (Ult gets decreased damage for EACH target hit, and mystic shot cant hit your target, E chooses the closest target to hit, which can be minions, however W only targets champions so its not affected.)
-Team reliant (Ezreal cannot do 1v5s as opposed to other champions)
-Has no short CD farm skills (ult is the only minion AOE)
Summoner spell
Escape spells:
Between Flash and Ghost, I really recommand to use flash. Ghost is NOT very useful for me because if u want to get the hell out of melee range, flash or double flash does the job 2 times quicker. After u get out of range, you can wait for E CD and tele over walls to escape. However, enemy with extremely fast movement speed or with ghost on can easily chase you, which is why you wall jump so they cant chase :D
Offensive spells:
September 2nd, 2011:
I am taking ignite for ap ez and exhaust for ad ez.
I start to realize that ad ez is good with Exhaust because of the ability to steady your aim against your target, and the ability to fight against other carries.
Ignite on ap ez gets rid of the problem of low dps after initial rounds of your damage, allowing you to keep your kills. However, you can switch ignite and exhaust depending on your style and your team composition.
Other spells:
Heal Can be useful early game, very bad late game. Since its game time scaling is bad, and ez is more towards a late game champ, i wont recommand taking it.
Even with the summoner spell rebalances heal is just not that great to take.
Clarity If you are not buying Manamune, then mana can be an issue. I still dont recommand this. However, with clarity, you will be able to harass more with high levels of W, since mana is not a major issue. You can also purchase something else aside from [item_text=meki pendant].
However ive seen teleport+clarity ezreals who spams W 24/7 in lane, it is actually quite annoying lol.
Clairvoyance This spell can help with aiming with Trueshot Barrage...the problem is, when u cast this an eye comes up that SHOWS through fog of war; the enemy may move before your ult hits. Although this is still a great spell for map awareness :D
Besides your support should have it, and 1 CV on a team is enough IMO.
Teleport Farming wins. But to me, i rather take something else. I never take teleport.
Cleanse Good summoner spell, however i think you will still get raped even if u can clear CC - -. You are not supposed to get caught anyways. Besides, there is something called quicksilver sash...
Smite ...There is rly no point in taking smite. Just cuz farming win doesnt mean u cant last hit enough to make you take smite - -. P.S. I never tried ez jungle. Go lane guys
Bad spells!:
Revive Well, anything would be better than this, right?
[spell=fortify] Blackmail your tank/support until they take it. Kinda useless on you.
Mastery + runes
My runes:
Ad page
Greater Mark of Desolationx9
Greater Seal of Clarityx9
Greater Glyph of Celerityx9
Greater Quintessence of Desolationx3
Ap page
Greater Mark of Insightx9
Greater Quintessence of Insightx3
The Rest is the same
Good runes:
Greater Mark of Strength / Greater Quintessence of Strength for Ad ez (Win10cent did some calculations that concludes ad runes = armor pen runes. But ad gives more damage on ult.)
Greater Mark of Insight / Greater Quintessence of Insight OR Greater Mark of Potency / Greater Quintessence of Potency for Ap ez (I recommand magic pen thou)
Greater Glyph of Focus (both flat and by level work nice for me)
Greater Seal of Clarity (same as CDR, by level or flat doesnt really matter)
Ok runes:
Greater Seal of Warding / Greater Seal of Resilience (Make you able to survive against harassment)
My optimal rune setup:
Greater Mark of Strengthx9 ( Greater Mark of Insight if you are ap)
Greater Seal of Wardingx9
Greater Glyph of Focusx9
Greater Mark of Focusx9
Greater Seal of Focusx9
Greater Glyph of Celerityx9
With the new masteries update:
Skill order
Three skill orders :D
(You take Trueshot Barrage whenever u can)
AD ezreal:
Take Mystic Shot first for maximum damage -> Take Arcane Shift for CDR to chase as well as escape-> Essence Flux is not that useful and only should be used to debuff/buff.
If you are playing defensively in a lane, u can take 1 point of Essence Flux at level 4 so you can debuff the enemies as they try to push the tower.
AP ezreal (FOR ME):
I realized that im getting better and arcane shift's cdr became not as useful when i only need 1 flash to get away from danger, so i have decided to max W and Q first. Taking Q at level 3 is for a small damage increase as well as its ability to last hit better in lane. Mystic shot range is longer than most spells, so its safe to last hit even in dangerous lanes.
I did this before, dont worry. This strategy is mainly used for lane domination (for example mid, against another nuker), where the use of Essence Flux becomes more significant than Mystic Shot.
Example: Ezreal against Pantheon, both solo top:
I started with Mystic Shot and was able to hit pantheon a few times in bush. However, after minion waves get in, i have less and less oppotunities to hit with Mystic Shot as he has both Aegis Protection (blocks Mystic Shot, since it deals physical damage) as well as minions to protect him. He can also nuke me if i am in autoattack range, making this a bad situation for ez.
In my team comp, i was supposed to go ad. However, if i go Mystic Shot> Arcane Shift > Essence Flux , i will most likely not survive or do well in laning phase. What i did is max Essence Flux first to nuke pantheon, as he is melee and will most likely be hit by my Essence Flux. This makes him more cautious about nuking me as well as zoning him out of farming range.
Item build
For ez, i mainly focus in mass AD and mass ap
AD build:
I have changed my build as of 2012.
Full build:
Infinity Edge
Phantom Dancer
Phantom Dancer
Trinity Force
The Black Cleaver
The Bloodthirster
Infinity Edge
Trinity Force
New build stats without runes&masteries, in champion builder:
2040 hp
1295 mana
2.111 attackspeed (not including ezreal passive)
100% crit (since the IE crit buff and the phantom dancer crit buff, only 4 items are needed for 100% crit)
250% crit damage ([item=Infinity Edge)
25% lifesteal
430 Movement speed(boots is compensated by two Phantom Dancer and Trinity Force
I realized that crit is OP.
I am sorry for realizing so late but:
More crit = more damage = more lifesteal.
High crit chance + high crit damage = higher bursts = faster an enemy die.
However, crit is not a stat that ezreal cannot build starting from the beginning of the game (unlike other AD champions like Master Yi or Tryndamere). Since mystic shot cannot crit, ezreal will have to slowly build toward crit as he get autoattack damage from other items such as The Black Cleaver and The Bloodthirster. The build order is more complicated but still similar to my previous build:
Start of the game:
[item=longsword] or Doran's Blade This helps with last hit and makes you deal more damage as well. The advantage of taking longsword is because you can buy another hp potion with it, and it builds into other late game items, however if opponents have high burst Doran's Blade may be the optimal choice.
as you progress, go for Sheen and Boots of Speed. If you happen to have exactly 1260 gold when you go back to base for the first time, i recommand skipping boots and buying sheen first for its insane damage scale with mystic shot harass.
Upgrade Boots of Speed to Berserker's Greaves after sheen, unless you can buy B. F. Sword.
if B. F. Sword is too expensive because laning phase is not going well, upgrade longsword into Phage for HP and AD increase.
as midgame progresses, you should be building towards either The Bloodthirster or The Black Cleaver, doesnt really matter which one you build first. After you have one of them, you can start building Trinity Force, Infinity Edge, or whichever item you did not build from the first choices.
after finishing Trinity Force the game should be over already. But just in case it doesnt:
build towards a Infinity Edge if it is not done, then build the last two Phantom Dancer, selling your Berserker's Greaves as you get the second Phantom Dancer.
My build with manmune:
My Full build:
The Bloodthirster
The Bloodthirster
The Black Cleaver
Trinity Force
Berserker's Greaves
Trinity Force
The Bloodthirster
Full build stats (excluding runes and masteries)
459 (101+358) ad (with full stacks of The Bloodthirster and full mana bonus from Manamune
1.547 attack speed (not including ezreal passive bonuses)
30 ap
419 movement speed
2040 hp
2645 mana
50% lifesteal
45 armor pen (max stacks of The Black Cleaver passive)
25% chance on hit to slow by 35% ( Trinity Force)
on spell cast, increase base damage by 150% ( Trinity Force)
15% crit ( Trinity Force)
Cooldown reduction: 0%
Mystic Shot deals 115+(ad:459)+(ap:6) CD:4 and apply Sheen effect and Phage effect
Essence Flux deals 280+(ap:18) CD:9
Arcane Shift deals 275+(ap:23) CD:11
Trueshot Barrage deals 650+(ad:358)+(ap:27) CD:100
Build order:
Start game: [item=meki pendant] + 2 Health Potion. Harassing + lane stay power
build [item=meki pendant] into Tear of the Goddess
build Berserker's Greaves
build Sheen AND Manamune (whichever u like first, but i build Manamune first)
buy Vampiric Scepter (12% lifesteal)
build Trinity Force (Recommand Phage before Zeal, small hp and AD boost, as well as a nice slow)
build The Bloodthirster
build The Black Cleaver OR The Bloodthirster
build The Bloodthirster
Im buying Trinity Force all the time now for AD ez, because all the items have good scaling with game (Sheen bonus damage and Phage slow, and they are cheap enough to farm), as well as a 15% crit and 12% movement speed that can potentially save your life. The Sheen effect is great, ALTHOUGH note that it is only the base damage that is added, not the total damage. Still, 150% base damage technically means you have around 100-150 bonus damage on a Mystic Shot hit (before going through armor). Note that Sheen effect have a cd and spamming your skills cannot activate it soon enuf to take full use of it.
Manamune is a great item for ez. He has good base mana, which means at level 18, Manamune can potentially provide ad surpassing the ad of an uncharged The Bloodthirster. Also, you will be able to spam Mystic Shot.
The Bloodthirster is very good with ez, since it provides one of the highest ad and lifesteal when charged. Lifesteal can essentially save ez from utter destruction. When you Mystic Shot a minion for around 800 damage late game, you heal for at least 25% of it, which is 200. Per Mystic Shot. It technically means you restore 10% of your max hp with each Mystic Shot hit, for each The Bloodthirster you have. However, note the lifesteal is base on the damage you DEAL. If you hit a taric with 700 armor, and you deal 100 damage, you are only going to regenerate 25 hp. It may not be much, but it is good nontheless. Lifesteal keeps you in lane so you dont have to go back to the base too often.
The Black Cleaver: 55 ad, 30% as, and stacked flat armor pen. This item reduces the armor of your target by 45 at max 3 stacks, which can be effective against people who doesnt have much armor. However, tanks will neglect most of the armor pen, since it is flat and not by percent. Last Whisper may be more effective when against enemies with armor > 120.
Berserker's Greaves will be more useful than Ionian Boots of Lucidity because Ad ez does not rely on [skill=mystic shot] to deal damage, therefore it is better to increase attack speed than CDR in my opinion.
Other items for AD ezreal:
Wriggle's Lantern OP early game item, 23 armor makes you a tank against AD and 15 damage increases your damage, the passive allows you to farm, and the active is a free ward. Just 1600 and you get this item. But this thing doesnt build into any late game items so it doesnt have to be a core item.
[item=Madred's bloodrazor]: 40% attack speed, 30 damage, 23 armor, and THE passive: on hit, bonus magic damage scaling on 4% of the target's max hp. Hitting with Mystic Shot DOES apply the passive, and with 40% more attack speed you will have around (estimated) 1.8 attack per second, which scales with ad as well as the passive. If you get this item, i recommand getting Madred's Razors before Manamune and after Tear of the Goddess to take full advantage of the farming capability.
Last Whisper This item will allow you to tear through armor and hit hard even on enemies with high armor, i.e. tanks. However, i would say that only if 3 or more enemies on the other team is stacking armor will i buy Last Whisper.
Next, lets move onto AP build:
My Full build:
Archangel's Staff
Rabadon's Deathcap
Lich Bane
Hextech Gunblade
Ionian Boots of Lucidity
Lich Bane
Archangel's Staff
Rabadon's Deathcap
Full build stats (excluding runes and masteries)
(Assuming full mana bonus from Archangel's Staff)
161 ad
0.981 attack speed
675 ap
2290 hp
2795 Mana
15% lifesteal
20% spell vamp
402 movement speed
Mystic Shot deals 115+(ad:161)+(ap:135) + ( Lich Bane: 675 where appliable). CD:3.4
Essence Flux deals 280+(ap:405) and slows enemies for 15% ms. CD: 7.65
Arcane Shift deals 275+(ap:506) and slows enemy for 35% ms. CD: 9.35
Trueshot Barrage deals 650+(ad:40)+(ap:608). CD:85
Build order:
Start game with [item=meki pendant] + 2 Health Potion (again)
build into Tear of the Goddess
build Boots of Speed
build Sheen
build Ionian Boots of Lucidity
build 1~3 Blasting Wand until you want to buy lich bane or archangel's staff. (not troll)
build Lich Bane
build Archangel's Staff
build Rabadon's Deathcap
build Hextech Gunblade
Rabadon's Deathcap is a must if you want your ap to reach beyond 400.
Archangel's Staff will provide you with enough mana to spam skills, as well as a good 100~150 ap by itself
Lich Bane: Must buy item. works wonders on ap ez, because of Lich Bane proc and Mystic Shot.
Hextech Gunblade Gives more damage on Mystic Shot, more ap on ap scale skills, and lifesteal + spell vamp to keep you in a fight. Ok item for me.
Ionian Boots of Lucidity CDR is more beneficial on ap ez than magic pen imo. Less cd on Arcane Shift gives u survival + damage.
I dont usually play Ap ez now, since when i choose ez every1 is like "Ez is ad", then they choose ap champs and lock in >.> i want to play ap ez sometime...
Ap ez and ad ez have their advantages. Ap ez is better nuker early game, in laning phase, because Essence Flux can technically hit everytime, as long as you are 500 units away from the enemy, aiming straight at him, and they dont have 350 or above ms to move out of the way. However, towards the late game, essence flux will not have enough burst to eliminate threats and win teamfights, so damage on Trueshot Barrage, Mystic Shot, and Essence Flux are all needed ( Arcane Shift should be reserved for crucial moments), which is why we buy Lich Bane.
Ap ezreal is also hybrid damage instead of pure magic damage. Keep that in mind.
Other items for AP ezreal:
MORE Archangel's Staff Stacking this thing will give you the most monsterous ap evvverrrrr (with Rabadon's Deathcap ofc). This is the classic glass cannon. Choose for yourself.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter is a great item for AP ez, but I JUST CANT find the time and money to build it when it counts. So now it is not included in final build. Rylai should be built around 20min mark for its full chase effectiveness in ganks, as well as its 500 HP for ezreal to survive ganks. As teamfights begin, Rylais will be less useful than other items.
Zhonya's Hourglass 100 ap, 50 armor, and unique active: 2 sec invlurlerable + stunned. This item can provide good ap as well as some protection against physical damage, as well as baiting the enmemy into focusing you, then use the active to save yourself.
Abyssal Scepter 70 ap, 57 magic res, and a -20 magic res offensive aura. Similar to Zhonya's Hourglass, this item provides you with some ap while increasing survivability. Note that the offensive aura increases damage not just for yourself, but for any magic users in your team as well. However, the aura is fairly short, and Ap ezreals should be reluctant to engage enemies in close range than long range, making the aura debatable in usage.
Will of the Ancients 5 more ap than Hextech Gunblade, but with the same amount of spell vamp. However this is now a support spell vamp aura. What is significant is that it a LOT cheaper than gunblade, but Hextech Gunblade should still be an end game item, since the ad bonus and lifesteal would be better for ez individually. For team players, Will of the Ancients can be an option.
Haunting Guise Can be a mid game item, however i dont think its 1.4k price is worth the time and cash investment, since ez should survive pretty well early game.
Void Staff useful when enemies are stacking magic res. Similarly to Last Whisper, i wont buy this items unless over 3 of the opponent team are getting magic res.
Deathfire Grasp This item has cdr ap and burst magic damage, however ez is not really within range of that active, so even if you want to burst some1 down, you will be dangerous close to enemy. Can be good but not recommanded by me.
Comment: This ap build is more about utility than full ap. Many alternative items can be taken for maximum ap gain, as well as defensive bonuses.
Build Examples
Things to add in this guide:
So sad. Riot nerfed gunblade.
Try stacking 4 Hextech Gunblade and buy Rabadon's Deathcap.
Ezreal ult with 1.5k initial damage is so funny to watch lol.

not sure if this is a blog module problem or a regular site problem.
but when ever i make a post and use the wsywig editor to add in html tags the html is not parsed and all the tags are shown as plain text.
I am a new user to silverstripe, so maybe i just did something wrong in the editor...
but even when i delete everything and simply try and put a blockquote in to a empty page it shows the html tags on the published site.
Unless someone can give me an explanation or solution in the next 48 hours i will be moving on from silverstripe. It appeared to be a simple solution and a good alternative to wordpress, but it is just not there yet, I have had several other glitches that I have figured out and I am just not up for fixing others problems, I just wanted to have a cms/blog that was easy to setup and deal with and that is just not happening, good luck with your project.

have no idea who that is. not downing the broncos are anything i just get tired of some of there fans(not you) who claim they are a lock to make the superbowl.
Let me ask you a queation: Are you really making an argument about who is the better team based off of the first five games of the season?... and are you comparing your "superior team" to a Broncos team that has a first year QB, a first year scheme a first year DC and a first year D scheme?
Really, you feel confident in that argument?

Undoing "Mikado": Japan is not an imaginary place, and I am not a metaphor
July 18, 2014
The Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society's production of comic-opera "The Mikado" has caused controversy due to the nature of the show and the production's use of White actors to play Japanese characters. LA-based community organizer Sean Miura (@seanmiura) reflects on his experience with the "The Mikado" and the society's response to the backlash.
I hold a special place in my heart for the people of Seattle.
Seattle is the city where my great grandmother settled after leaving Japan, going on to raise four daughters as a single mom. Seattle is where my great uncle crossed the Bainbridge Island pier to board boats to buses to trains to concentration camps in the wake of Pearl Harbor hysteria. Seattle is where my mother moved after law school, became chapter president of the local JACL, fought for redress and reparations, and fought to right the conviction of a man who resisted being imprisoned in a World War II concentration camp. Seattle is where my mom met my dad. Seattle is where I was born.
Seattle is not where I grew up, but Seattle was the closest I had to an Asian American community with the International District, Uwajimaya food court lunches, and the salmon my uncle Tike would catch fresh in the mornings. My mom drove me, 10 years old at the time, from our home in Vancouver to see David Henry Hwang's "Golden Child" at the Seattle Reparatory Theater, the first time I saw Asian Americans telling our own stories live.
I saw The Mikado a couple years later.
My memory of the local production is fuzzy, but I remember not enjoying it. At that point, though not yet a teenager, I had grown accustomed to stereotypes and racism. When you look like I do it comes with the territory. But I remember feeling uneasy with the makeup, the hair, and those infamous names. I knew enough Japanese to understand that these names – Titipu, Yum-Yum, and Pish-Tosh among others — could not be actual Japanese names. But somehow this all still took place in Japan?
It would be years before I fully understood and was able to parse out why this production (not just the production, but the play itself) didn't sit properly. As I built my vocabulary and saw more and more work like "The Mikado", I was able to trace connections between what happened on-stage with larger systems of oppression that have fed off of cultural misrepresentation. The camps did not happen overnight. The camps did not end overnight.
"The Mikado" is a classic Gilbert & Sullivan opera which, true to much of their work, comments on Victorian British society. This particular piece uses Japanese iconography (only a few decades earlier the American military pulled Japan out of its self-imposed solitude by force, leading to a resurgence of Orientalism in Europe concurrent with newly global access to Japanese art) as a way to hide criticism of British institutions. At that time Japan was seen as exotic and almost imaginary, a trope that still survives today. A crude parallel would be the way JK Rowling utilizes the fictional world of her Harry Potter series to critique real life, contemporary government and social structures today.
The inherent problem approaches. Rowling creates a fantastical alternative universe to house her criticism, whereas G&S usurp a real place and repurpose it as fantasy. Rowlings' tactic allows her to create an imaginary culture that fits and augments the agenda of her writing, whereas G&S' use of an actual setting forces themselves to either conform to existing structures and derive forced metaphor, or to essentially commit literary colonization through subjugation of a people's culture and country to suit their own end.
In a nutshell, Hogwarts can be a metaphor because it is an imaginary place. Japan is not an imaginary place.
So when a play such as "The Mikado" is presented in America, not only are we forced to confront its antiquated/colonial approach to satire but we're also forced to confront the history of East Asian people in America who have had to deal with its aftermath. On an academic level we can understand what Gilbert & Sullivan were attempting and we can understand why it worked and we can rationalize why its racial tropes were not unsettling to Victorian British society. But, as with most art, the piece evokes an emotional response along with the intellectual. In a different country and over a century and a half after the time of Gilbert & Sullivan, we can't strip productions of "The Mikado" from the context in which they are presented or from the humans who live within and contribute to that context.
I am not a metaphor. My cultural heritage, the practices I was raised with, and my name come from generations and generations of connection to the ground our people have stood on, whether in Seattle, Los Angeles, Fukushima, or Fukuoka. Lampooning White aristocracy by using Japan as a vessel does not justify contributing to the constant belittlement of my ancestors, my family, and myself. It causes collateral damage.
I have not seen the Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society performance of "The Mikado" so I cannot comment on the actual show, but I am extremely disappointed in the responses offered by the company. However, I have grown accustomed, if not more resistant to, stereotypes, racism, and the voices that will reinforce them to preserve the status quo.
When you look like we do it comes with the territory. There is much more work to be done.

Update: The Seattle Repertory Theater has clarified their relationship to the Seattle Gilbert & Sullivan Society and this production of "The Mikado"; specifically, that they did not make the decision to rent their stage to the G & S society and are not responsible for the production. Instead, the Society's "Mikado" production appears on a Seattle Rep stage because of a contract between the Rep and the City of Seattle. The Seattle Rep has also committed to holding a community townhall on art, race and cultu

Those LMFAO guys. What a couple of jokesters. But the Grammy-nominated electro-pop duo of Redfoo and Sky Blu is serious about one thing: getting the country into a new dance called Shuffling. They show off just how to do it in their new video, "Party Rock Anthem," and we gotta say, this could be the 2011 version of The Dougie.
I know it's Friday and all, but that doesn't mean you have to watch Rebecca Black's video another 30 times. Instead, click above to see what the LMFAO guys (previously behind the party jams "I'm In Miami Bitch" and "La La La") are up to now. And start shuffling!

Resilient travellers key to disaster recovery
They are dubbed "resilient tourists" and they will travel to their planned destination - even when disaster hits - no matter what!
These holiday makers could be crucial to the tourism sector and the recovery of rural and regional communities, relying on the tourist dollar, when adversity strikes; be it a cyclone, a flood, or a terrorist attack.
The University of Queensland is researching this type of traveller and the findings could help the tourist industry target the group, which makes up 10 per cent of holiday makers here and overseas, a significant number, to encourage their resilience.
UQ's Professor Sara Dolnicar, a renowned tourism researcher, is constructing a profile of this adventurer after her study found a market segment that doesn't care about and won't change plans because there has been upheaval at their destination.
She says these travellers take more risks - financial, health and social - they consider change as negative so resist changing plans, they are more extroverted, but less agreeable.
"It's all about their plans and what they've decided," she said.
"They are more educated, younger, spend less than other tourist groups but take a lot more trips each year.
"They could be couples, could be families, could be travelling with friends and the industry can harvest them - independently of the nature of the tourist attraction."
Their value for the industry is in recovery.
"The advertising or marketing should be a direct message 'don't change your plans', pressing their key button and reinforcing their motivation," explained Professor Dolnicar.
"Operators don't have to only focus on this segment but if you have a group of these people take good care of them because they will be the ones that come when others fall off."

Our living room is absolutely chock full of toys, its like a sort of toy jumble sale, after a herd of elephants have visited and trampled on everything. The situation is so bad that we are often forced to the safety of our bedroom after the kids have gone to sleep, just so we can have a view that's free of small red, yellow, green and blue plastic things. So, I decided to have my monthly clear out and remove to toddler's bedroom operation.
This was when I discovered penicillin. EURGHHHHHHHHH! Lurking within the boot of one of the toy cars was the mould pictured above. The worrying thing is that the growth was quite big, indeed I would go so far as saying it might be a couple of weeks of growth. I suspect toddler boy has been checking on its progress as he has been taking a bit of interest in the aforementioned toy recently and I just assumed he was doing his usual sort of play.
As far as I'm aware, this sort of mould gives off tiny spores into the atmosphere, OMG we have been breathing them in! They have been spreading, mutating like swine flu or something similar. I thought hubby has been behaving strangely recently. Who knows what I'll find stowed away next time I do some cleaning…

And the moral of this story is: don't do any cleaning and you wont find yucky stuff.
LOL! I'm sure a little bit of mould won't hurt…I found a mouldy apple under the sofa the other day – disgusting!
You want to talk about mould, lets talk about mould! It is growing, breeding, slowly creeping in every corner of our bathroom!!!! I just can't stand it anymore. I clean, dry, clean and dry again and it reappears in another corner and inside the bath toys! That's plain degueulasse (disgusting in French). I have had enough…

On another note I also had enough of all the colourful
lol! I've found a growth on a toy before thanks to a pool of orange juice..always a pleasure! x
Looks suspiciously similar to a plate I discovered in our dishwasher yesterday. It had been in there for only 4 days.

Yuck.

I have to admit that I dealt with it very responsibly by turning on the dishwasher.
I would recommend checking out the bath toys with a receptacle to hand to throw up in!

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hi Elliott,
my fiance and I have been together for 2 yrs. In the beginning he did some things that I felt were red flags. He went through my phone when I was out of the room, and when I told him that wasn't normal and to please not do it again, he kept doing it. When I was in a room alone, like taking care of "girlie maintenance" in the bathroom, he would barge in and then act like he didn't know I was in there. I put up with it because he was so gentle and affectionate and we had so much fun together. He also checked in with me more than any other guy I've ever been with, and would pout if I didn't answer right away because I was at work. He watched over my shoulder when I wrote emails. He didn't like me talking to my best (male) friend, so I pretty much stopped that. He doesn't like me to show too much skin. I've changed so many things about myself for him, which I know is something that has to happen to an extent in a relationship, but he's never secure that I want to be with him. He finally has stopped needing to know where I am every second, and he doesn't go thru my phone or email as far as I know. I got a package in the mail the other day and I didn't want to tell him what it was because it was slightly embarrasing and private and nothing to do with him. He can't let it go, and has asked me at least 4 times since then. I told him he's being invasive and he turns it on me and say's "Fine, keep your secrets" like I'm being secretive. Is this normal jealousy? Does this qualify as abusive or am I being dramatic? He won't even consider the possibility that it IS abusive. I need an objective opinion. Sorry so long.

"John Sargent: The Watercolors"
Though much of his legacy is linked to oil-painting portraiture, American artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) spent much of the 20th century creating works in watercolor. More than 90 of those pieces — whose subjects run the gamut from Italian gardens and maritime scenes to lounging ladies and fierce Bedouin riders — will be on display in the exhibit "John Singer Sargent: The Watercolors" at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
"In watercolor, Sargent was liberated to explore subjects and scenes he was personally passionate about," says Kaylin Weber, the museum's assistant curator of American painting and sculpture. "His watercolors reveal his longstanding interest in travel. His works became almost like a visual memoir, tracing his travels around Europe and the Middle East." Consisting entirely of paintings shown at two New York exhibits in 1909 and 1912, the watercolors also showcase Sargent's deft use of light in his works and scenes more cropped than expansive. "He did not paint broad, sweeping views of the Grand Canal in Venice, as predecessors had done," Weber continues. "Instead, he captured the underside of a famous bridge or the prow of a gondolier's boat. This approach made his watercolors feel more intimate and undoubtedly quite new and fresh."

CAIRO: Egyptians poured into Tahrir Square on Wednesday to mark one year since the launch of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak, with activists vowing to revive their unfinished revolution and the ruling army labelling it a day of celebration.
Tens of thousands of conservatives, liberals, leftists and other citizens packed the square, the epicentre of protests that ousted Mr Mubarak, waving flags and bearing banners reflecting the day's varying messages.
The powerful Muslim Brotherhood, which dominates the newly elected parliament, were in Tahrir celebrating one year since Egyptians — inspired by an uprising in Tunisia — took to the streets to topple the regime.
But other groups, including pro-democracy movements behind the revolt, insisted they were in the square to reignite their revolution and demand the ouster of the military council that took over when Mubarak quit.
Several marches set off for Tahrir from different parts of Cairo, with the chant of "Down with military rule!" ringing across the capital. By late afternoon, the rally had occupied surrounding streets and bridges.
Tens of thousands also packed a waterfront square in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, where the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), headed by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, had planned a naval parade.
In the canal city of Suez, more than 10,000 protesters gathered in the main square chanting: "From Suez to Tahrir, down with the Field Marshal."
"This is a demonstration, not a celebration," said Mustafa Al-Masry, one of the leaders of a Suez-based revolutionary group.Protesters also took to the streets in several provinces of the Nile Delta and in the Sinai peninsula, security officials said.
In Cairo, huge flags hovered over the protesters in Tahrir, where a military band attempted to entertain the crowds in the morning. But calls of "Down, down with military rule" drowned out the music, forcing the band to be shuttled away by bus.
"We will keep going to Tahrir to push for the goals of the revolution, no matter what," said Hala Rashad, a 46-year-old chef.
"The military council has done nothing. They are behaving just like the old regime. We have not received our rights and the country is a mess," she said.
At the entrances to Tahrir, "popular committees" searched protesters after the interior ministry said there would be no police presence at the square.
Youths from the Muslim Brotherhood said they were in the square to demonstrate, not celebrate, despite an announcement by the group it would not be pushing for "a second revolution".
"The big question, reflected in the headline of the state-owned weekly Al-Ahram Hebdo, remains "Who will capture the soul of the revolution?"
On Tuesday, Field Marshal Tantawi announced the partial lifting of a hated decades-old emergency law, in an apparent bid to placate protesters, but said the law would still apply to acts of 'thuggery'. Activists called the move cosmetic, denouncing the term 'thuggery' as a way to maintain the police's wide powers of arrest.
The Scaf has vowed to cede power to civilian rule when a president is elected by June. Security forces say they are on alert for "any attempts to sabotage" the celebration, a thinly veiled warning to protesters.
But Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said the police "will not be present in the squares or where large celebrations are taking place" and called instead on political forces to "form popular committees" to secure the streets.
Amnesty International said the military rulers must protect protesters and uphold the right to peaceful assembly.
"Rather than abandoning the sites of planned demonstrations, the security forces must act responsibly by ensuring that everyone can safely exercise their right to peaceful expression and assembly," said Hassiba Hadj-Sahraoui, Middle East and North Africa deputy director.
Mr Mubarak himself will mark the anniversary from a bed in a Cairo military hospital, accused of involvement in the killing of protesters during the uprising. If found guilty, the former president of 30 years could face the death penalty.—AFP

Woman Busted Shoplifting IKEA Frying Pan in Leggings
This woman is going to fry for this.
This woman is going to fry for this.
This guy's pants make a great meat locker.
This police officer does more than just serve and protect.
Marriage. When a couple in love makes a sacred vow to love, honor, and cherish each other for the rest of their lives. The Wedding reception. A celebration of the event with friends and family. But when the loving couple tries to shoplift over $1,000 worth of merchandise for the reception, the marriage is probably not getting off on the right foot.
My favorite 4th of July memory has absolutely nothing to do with fireworks, ice cream, the American flag, parades, etc. It doesn't have anything to do with family or friends, BBQ's or Booze either. My favorite 4th of July memory has to do with attempted shoplifting.
With special emphasis on the word attempted.
Some women carry gum or mints in their purse. Marie Chester carries dinner for a big family.
Police in Fort Pierce, Florida arrested the 40-year-old woman last week for shoplifting six full racks of ribs and two packs of oxtails from a supermarket. Somehow, she carried out the food in her pocketbook. The items she took were worth $57.60.

Clear Ryu's name and restore his honor in the final chapter to this classic series!
Join master ninja Ryu Hayabusa, last member of the famous Dragon Clan, in the third and final chapter of the legendary Ninja Gaiden saga. Ryu is framed for FBI agent Irene Lew's murder, and it's up to him to clear his name. Defeating superior life-forms created out of "life energy" called BIO-NOIDs and avoiding enemy ambushes are among the many obstacles which Ryu faces in this unpredictable adventure of mystery, deceit, and destruction.
Ryu's techniques have improved from last time—his ability to grab on to horizontal surfaces, his reduced falling speed and altered jumping maneuvers, as well as using power-ups give Ryu that extra advantage against his foes. Help Ryu defeat the forces of evil once more and discover the real culprit behind Irene's death as one of the most loved trilogies in video-game history comes to a close!

I met Carla four years ago and never turned back. She took my long blah hair to short and sassy. Each time I go back she does something different and I'm never disappointed. I'm growing out my hair now for my wedding, and she ensures I still feel and look sassy with pops of color and seasonal changes. Thanks Carla!!

I felt that I needed to leave a review for this album because it is probably my favorite Judas Priest album. Although some of the lyrics in the song in this album can be a bit cheesy, it is still great due to the fact that Rob Halford is singing them.
To start out, the title track, "Painkiller", starts out and just instantly crushes you. The drum solo at the beginning is just spectacular. Even the first guitar solo is amazing. This whole song just crushes you for the whole 6 minutes and is easily the best song on the album. I was once watching "That Metal Show" and Rob Halford was a guest on it and the audience was asking him questions and one of them was asked what is the greatest song ever. Rob Halford replied that the greatest song ever was "Painkiller", and I must say that I will agree with him. This is just a kick ass song.
The next songs, "Hell Patrol" and "All Guns Blazing", are also awesome. The guitar parts and drumming in it are just great. I also personally feel that the chorus of these songs rock. When the high scream comes up in the song "Hell Patrol", it is probably my favorite part of the song. The song that comes after that, "Leather Rebel", is another fantastic song. The opening guitar riff (fast and heavy) is what instantly tells you that it will be a great song. Even the chorus of this song is just like classic Priest, having the high pitch scream in the background and it is just awesome.
"Metal Meltdown" is what comes next and the opening guitar solo in that song is remarkable and even when that ends and the rest of the song starts, it is fast and awesome. The song "Night Crawler" is also amazing. It opens up with kind of an eerie sound to it which is what to me adds some of the greatness to it. The style of how Halford does the vocals is just amazing and with his voice right beside that is a key to making this song awesome.
To sum it all up, this is maybe the greatest metal album of all time and I would recommend any metal head to listen to it. The intensity and the speed throughout the whole album is just fantastic and is why i love it so much. You are just amazed with the whole 46 minutes that it plays and you will not be able to resist to head bang or at least move your head a little bit when listening to this.
I can do this for all of the songs on this album. I think that all of them are really good. I have heard some people say that this isn't a good Judas Priest album. Sure it isn't like other Judas Priest albums but that doesn't mean that it is bad. I just can't fathom why people would think that this album isn't as good as the other Judas Priest albums. I must say that this is probably my favorite Judas Priest album along with "Screaming For Vengeance."

Here's a look at 10 players who really stepped it up in Week 1 victories in MIAA football. Did I miss anyone?
Brady Bolles: The senior Northwest Missouri QB had a touchdown each on the ground and in the air to go with 236 total yards and 0 turnovers in the Bearcats' 31-0 rout of Nebraska-Kearney.
Shaq Cooper - The Hays RB was 1 of several standouts for the Tigers in their last-minute victory at Central Oklahoma, rushing for a TD and 163 yards and adding TD grabs
Sorry for the late arrival, folks. You deserve better.
Too bad. You're stuck with me for at least another year.
I'm going to ask you to bear with me this year. I don't know what my availability is going to be, but I will do my best to continue providing the best coverage I can for the MIAA.
Here's a look at my predictions for this week's games. All games are Thursday night.
Missouri Western at No. 20 Central Missouri
No. 5 Pittsburg State and No. 7 Northwest Missouri both won their season finales easily Saturday, and with each other top seed in Super Region 3 winning as well, the stage has been set for a rematch next week between the Gorillas and the Bearcats.
Pittsburg and Northwest, both 10-1 and MIAA co-champions, will likely retain the 4 and 5-seeds in the region. The winner of next week's game will then travel to SR3 top-seed Minnesota State Mankato.
The Gorillas upended Central
Updated 11-16-2014 at 12:27 AM by Aaron Heintzelman
It appears to be a relatively easy slate of games to pick this week; With no marquee matchups to highlight, I figured I'd take a week off.
But I still wanted to throw out my predictions and offer a look at some out-of-conference games you should be keeping an eye on.
So here's my predicted winners in this week's MIAA games.
Central Missouri at Northeastern State
Washburn at Central Oklahoma
Missouri Southern at Lindenwood
And everyone thought I was crazy for having Pittsburg State atop my TANQB ratings early in the season. I was just ahead of the game.
The Gorillas are back to the top of my weekly MIAA power rankings after last week's very-impressive victory at Northwest Missouri. You're welcome, Gorilla fans, for giving Northwest my "kiss of death" in picking them to be 21-point victors in that game.
As I was putting together my list of Top, Almosts, Not-Quites and the Basement


text: Anyone have any experience for this? I'm thinking of using it for my son next year (grade 1). I don't want to use their math, we're using Rightstart and are happy with it, but I was wondering about people's experience with their other subjects. Is it worth the price? Will it suit my son who doesn't isn't really into seat work? My daughter will be 4 next fall as well - would their K program suffice for both? Not really wanting to do anything formal with her yet, but I would like her to enjoy to listen in on the books. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Around here, I have become the go-to person to ask when it comes to obscure or lesser-known fashion models, because over the years I've gotten pretty good at putting names with their ubiquitous faces. However, it took me months and months of scanning Style.com and reading every international edition of Vogue I could get my hands on to acquire such knowledge, but I guess things come a little easier to you when you're Elle Fanning.
The 13-year-old starlet sat down with Marie Claire for its July issue, and not only is she wearing some incredible fashionDior, Louis Vuitton and Lanvin to name a fewit was also the main topic of conversation. She told the mag:
"I love clothes. I always look at runway shows online and know all of the models. I think it was passed down to my sister and me from my mom. She always loved dressing us when we were little."
What a knowledgeable little fashion-phile! Although we don't foresee this happening, if her acting career doesn't pan out, she might have a future in styling. Fanning revealed, "The best part of my day is picking out my outfit. I love looking through my closet and putting things together."
