    Hello there,

    My Summoner name is Coug54, and I play on the U.S. servers.

    I chose to write a guide about Singed because I think he is a fun champ to play. Though he is not that powerful compared to other champs who fill the tank role, Singed can nevertheless be useful for his team. He has a lot of utility in his skills that let him do some pretty unique things in the game.

    I do not claim to be the best Singed play ever, nor will I declare this guide to be the most efficient means of playing this Champion. This guide simply reflects my own style of playing Singed, down to the last Item and Rune, for a modest Elo level. This is a CASUAL strategy and nothing more.

    With the technical stuff out of the way, let's take a look at everyone's favorite chemist.

    Happy reading.

  • Abilities

    Empowered Bulwark
    It is a simple passive that grants you bonus HP based on your current max Mana. Overall, this passive pads Singed with some extra survivability, but you should treat it is just a bonus and nothing more.

    Getting more Armor and Magic Resistance will prove more beneficial than raw HP, plus Singed naturally becomes self-sufficient with his Mana pool as the game continues. Combined with the fact that Singed's skill-set is relatively inexpensive in Mana costs, this makes focusing on Mana-heavy gear an inefficient strategy.

    Poison Trail
    This unique toggle ability lets Singed do some pretty interesting things. Simply turn this skill on to let the poison whittle away at enemies caught in the death cloud. Running around enemy Champions and Minions with Poison Trail can gradually build up to some significant damage, which can net you a bunch of Kills and last hits. In addition, as a Champion who can attack foes directly behind him, Singed can make enemies think twice about pursuing him in chases and ganks as he is releasing fumes toward their direction.

    This skill, however, does have a poor AP ratio to keep in mind. This means Poison Trail's effectiveness does decline as the game goes on, but this is not that big of a deal. This ability is simply awesome, but be sure to toggle the skill off when there are no enemies nearby.

    Mega Adhesive
    This glob of glue has many beneficial uses. By taking advantage of its generous range and AoE, you can shoot this glue out to slow enemies down for chases, ganks and even getaway attempts. The beauty of the skill is how an enemy can just touch the edge of the glue to get the slow. Making the enemy decelerate for even just a split second can make all of the difference in a variety of situations.

    Honestly, there is no real drawback for throwing this skill out in a bunch of situations, so be alert for good circumstances to "stick" it to your enemies.

    This is the ability that makes Singed fun and different from the rest. Fling grabs and tosses an enemy behind Singed at melee range. It deals initial magic damage as Singed starts the throw, and it can set up the unlucky target's demise rather quickly. It also has an added bonus of having an excellent AP ratio.

    Being able to alter a target enemy's position is extremely powerful by itself. For instance, a well-placed throw can literally save an ally's life in hectic situations.

    However, be warned that this skill can sometimes screw up situations if you are not careful with the direction Singed is facing as you get your mitts on someone. You can literally throw an enemy away to safety or toss the foe close enough to near-death allies, indirectly granting the perfect opportunity for the flung target to attack your vulnerable teammate(s). In addition, also be aware that this skill counts as a disable, so certain skills like Morgana's Black Shield or Olaf's Ragnarok can completely stop this ability in its tracks.

    Insanity Potion
    A simple press of the button pumps up Singed's stats across the board, except for things like Attack Damage. This is a straightforward ultimate, but it turns Singed into a Champion the opposition can fear when a madman is running toward them. The boosted stats keep Singed alive (extra crowd control reduction, anyone?), so having this ability activated in team fights is an absolute must.

    Outside of team fights, the two main situations to use this ultimate are: when you are about to make a move on someone to throw them during a gank or team fight and when you are attempting to run away from danger.

    If you are far away from where you need to be, using this skill to get there faster is a decent idea. This ability lets Singed does what he does best, so avoid using this ultimate randomly.

  • Skill Build

    This is the universal build I always follow, regardless of the opposition.

    * Start with Fling at Level 1. As your scariest skill against enemy Champions, having this ability right off the bat is key.
    * Get Poison Trail at Level 2 and Level 3. This will allow you to have some real lane presence.
    * Put a point into Mega Adhesive at Level 4. This will allow you to slow targets early.
    * Max out Poison Trail first.
    * Then put points into Mega Adhesive second. The slow is extremely handy.
    * Complete Fling last.
    * Level up Insanity Potion whenever possible.

  • Runes

    I use an obscure Rune setup for Singed. The Runes focus on providing Singed with some utility to work with.

    External Image

    The Runes I Use
    Greater Quintessence of Fortitude x3 for a safety net of HP.
    Greater Mark of Insight x9 to increase Singed's damage output for his spells.
    Greater Seal of Clarity x8 to have more Mana regen to spam.
    Greater Seal of Evasion x1 for good luck.
    Greater Glyph of Focus x9 to have your Fling off cooldown a bit faster, allowing your game-changing throw to be ready again when you really need it.
    Other Runes I Like for Singed

    Greater Mark of Desolation is OK on Singed. Combined with his ultimate, Singed does all right physical damage.
    Greater Seal of Evasion is useful as a complete yellow set.
    Greater Seal of Resilience pads Singed with a good amount of Armor.
    Greater Seal of Vitality works well with Singed's role as a tank.
    Greater Glyph of Warding provides an additional safety net for Singed, especially when he is initiating into a barrage of spells.
    Greater Quintessence of Swiftness for extra movement speed.

  • Masteries

    * For the following strategies, be sure to move around points, if possible, for an improved version of Summoner Spells you like to use.
    Masteries Set A
    This is a well-balanced setup that splits defense and utility.
    External Image

    * Get three points of Resistance for the extra Magic Resistance.
    * Grab three points of Hardiness for extra Armor.
    * Toss a point into Strength of Spirit for the extra HP regen.
    * Put in four points to [mastery=evasion] for the Dodge.
    * Add a point of [mastery=nimbleness] to make use of the Dodge.
    * Get two points into [mastery=harden skin] as filler.
    * Put in three points for [mastery=veteran's scars] for the extra HP.
    * Throw in three points for [mastery=good hands] for the decreased respawn times.
    * Put a point into Perseverance for the extra regen.
    * Put in a point to [mastery=haste] for the better Ghost.
    * Max out [mastery=awareness] because the extra Experience gain is very significant.
    * Add a point into Greed as a filler.
    * Put in two points toward Meditation to increase Singed's Mana regen.
    * Grab three points of [mastery=quickness] to enhance Singed's speed.
    Masteries Set B
    This is an alternative setup that emphasizes a bit of offense with lots of utility.
    External Image

    * Put in a point of [mastery=deadliness] for a random chance to land a critical hit.
    * Get three points of [mastery=archmage's savvy] to boost Singed's Ability Power.
    * Max out Sorcery to decrease Singed's cooldowns.
    * Get a point into [mastery=archaic knowledge] to increase Singed's damage output with spells.
    * Throw in three points for [mastery=good hands] for the decreased respawn times.
    * Put a point into Perseverance for the extra regen.
    * Put in a point to [mastery=haste] for the better Ghost.
    * Max out [mastery=awareness] because the extra Experience gain is very significant.
    * Add a point into Greed as a filler.
    * Max out Meditation to increase Singed's Mana regen.
    * Get two points into [mastery=utility mastery] as filler.
    * Grab three points of [mastery=quickness] to enhance Singed's speed.
    * Max out Intelligence to lower Singed's cooldowns even further.
    * Get a point into [mastery=presence of the master] to lower Singed's cooldowns.

  • Summoner Spells

    Summoner Spells are personal preferences, so feel free to switch them around if you want to.

    My Two Spells of Choice
    Ghost is my all-purpose Summoner Spell of choice for all kinds of situations.

    Ignite is my second Spell option because it lets me be more aggressive.
    The Other Spells
    Clairvoyance is out of place for Singed.

    Clarity is all right on Singed, but his skill-set is not that Mana intensive to warrant taking it.

    Cleanse is a good substitute Spell.

    Exhaust is a solid Spell to choose.

    Flash is a good choice, but I never use this Spell much on Singed.

    [spell=fortify] is OK, but it is a bad choice for Singed. He needs the help of other Spells to be useful.

    Heal is a starter Spell. There are better choices. Do not get it.

    [spell=rally] is a mediocre Spell, and its long cooldown makes it hard to utilize. Do not touch this Spell.

    Revive is a joke Spell. Enough said.

    Smite is an unheard-of Spell on Singed. Do not get it.

    Teleport is all right if you like controlling the map.

  • Item Build

    My Ideal Build
    [item_icon=force of nature]

    This is an example build I shoot for whenever I play Singed, with some possible deviations here and there depending on who the enemy Champions are. This Item build gives Singed a bit of everything he needs to do what he needs to do for his team - tank.
    Build Order
    1. Start with Boots of Speed, two bottles of Health Potion and one Mana Potion. Boots of Speed will allow you to move around slightly faster than your opponents in the lane, who probably will not have boots.

    2. Get a Sapphire Crystal next, which will supplement most of your early-game Mana needs. As an added bonus, it will also give you some bonus HP to work with.

    3. Turn your Sapphire Crystal into a Catalyst the Protector next. The per-level bonus will give you a helpful boost early in the game.

    4. Make Rod of Ages when you can afford the Blasting Wand and the recipe. This is considered a core Item for every Singed build.

    5. Depending on your opponents:
    * Get Ninja Tabi if there are many physical damage-based Champions.
    * Build Mercury's Treads if there is an abundance of crowd control and spell damage to worry about.
    * Make Boots of Swiftness if the opposing team does not lean toward any particular side of the damage spectrum.
    * You can also make Sorcerer's Shoes if you want to increase your damage output with spells.
    * There are also Ionian Boots of Lucidity if you want decreased cooldowns.

    6. At this point, you should aim for two Items: Sunfire Cape and Banshee's Veil. Both of these Items will be extremely effective in padding Singed with essential stats that make him a tough champ to take down. Depending on the urgency of whether you need more Armor or Magic Resistance, build the Item you will need right away and then get the other Item.
    *Get Chain Vest next before Giant's Belt. Make Sunfire Cape to give Singed a better tank presence.
    * Buy Negatron Cloak first to get the Magic Resistance boost. Eventually make Banshee's Veil to round out your defenses with the awesome spell shield.

    7. Many different choices present themselves in this phase of the game:
    * Build Warmog's Armor if you want to be really beefy.
    * Build a [item=force of nature] if there is still a lot of spell damage to defend against.
    * Consider another Rod of Ages if you think the game is going to drag on for a long time.

    8. Top the build off with a Guardian Angel, which is always a good, final Item to get.

    * Sometimes, bad games happen. Consider buying Doran's Ring or Doran's Shield if you are not farming too well. Gradually sell the items off and buy the good items when you get back on your feet, financially.
    * Of course, be sure to buy additional consumables , pitch in for wards and purchase the special potions [item_icon=elixir of agility][item_icon=oracle's elixir] whenever you see fit.
    Other Noteworthy Items
    These are Items I consider making based on how well I am farming and what the other team is comprised of. Any of these listed Items can be quite helpful under the right circumstances.

    Abyssal Scepter is a decent option for Singed. It gives him some Ability Power to work with and some extra Magic Resistance.

    Aegis of the Legion is an essential Item for every lineup, though I have found moderate success when using this item with Singed. He usually has to initiate a team fight, so this drastically reduces his survivability rate. As a result, Singed is probably going to die before his team can benefit from the shield's aura long enough for it to be substantial.

    Frozen Heart is decent on Singed, but this is a situational Item. Pick this Item up if you are facing many physical attackers.

    Hexdrinker would be decent if made early against a spell-heavy team.

    Leviathan is questionable on Singed. As a tank, Singed can potentially pad himself with a lot of HP, but this is assuming he is able to build up enough Kills and Assists. However, considering that Singed must usually initiate and die, this snowball Item does not seem that practical.

    Quicksilver Sash is a good choice if you are dealing with lots of crowd control.

    Randuin's Omen is pretty effective on Singed.

    [item=rylai's scepter] is actually pretty powerful on Singed, especially when you combo it with Mega Adhesive.

    Shurelya's Reverie is OK on Singed, though there are better Items to choose.

    [item=soul shroud] is a great Item on Singed.

    Spirit Visage is a strong Item on Singed.

    Thornmail is situational, but it can be the right Item if you are facing heavy hitters on the opposing team.

    Zhonya's Hourglass would be, at least in theory, quite solid on Singed.

    * Singed can be played as an AP-focused champ, but I am not a big fan of this. You can consider getting items that grant Ability Power if you want to power up Singed's spells, but I prefer keeping Singed as a dedicated tank.

  • Laning Situations

    Singed has a well-rounded laning phase, but not a great one. The best part about Singed is that he can adapt to all kinds of circumstances. He can control his lane by keeping enemy Champions at bay. Just getting near opponents can make them uneasy. Conversely, Singed can easily change gears and go into defense mode. He is particularly effective at protecting his Turret.

    Singed can technically solo a lane, but this is generally a waste. As a dedicated tank/initiator, the extra Experience and Gold would be more beneficial for someone else. So with this in mind, Singed works the best in a dual lane, preferably with a partner who can create synergy.

    For these next examples, let's assume Xin Zhao is Singed's lane partner.
    External Image

    Simply put, Singed has an above-average lane presence because of one skill: his Fling. Despite its melee range, this skill keeps opponents on their toes. The throw itself does good damage, and assuming you have a powerful lane partner with you, the thrown target will probably take quite a beating.

    * Take advantage of your early Boots of Speed for a better chance to Fling an enemy Champion. Most opponents will not get boots early, meaning Singed will probably have a speed advantage in his lane. Use this extra speed to shift in and out of zones.
    * Stay aggressive, if possible, because you are shooting for lane dominance.
    * Being on the offensive does not mean you should be a glutton for punishment. If the opposing Champions are able to poke you without any retaliation, then you should probably ease up a bit. Patience is key when you are trying to wait for that opportune time to rush in for a crazy throw.
    * Like every dual lane, control the brush.
    * Be aware of where your lane partner is. Avoid making a move when your lane partner is not in position to take advantage of a thrown opponent.
    * Using Ghost is a smart idea to get more speed so you can reach someone to Fling.
    * Immediately turn on Poison Trail when you are about to use Fling on someone.
    * A well-placed Mega Adhesive before or after the use of Fling can give you the edge to finish someone off for the Kill or Assist.
    * Turn on Insanity Potion for a boost as you are making your move. The enhanced stats can make you tough enough to survive riskier tactics, such as doing a tower dive.
    * You can use Ignite for some insurance to finish off an enemy Champion who has low HP.
    * If you must back off and are being chased by an enemy Champion, turn on Poison Trail to chip away at their HP, possibly setting up a chance to pull a reversal on them.
    External Image

    Singed needs only two things to farm well: his Poison Trail used in conjunction with his auto-attack.

    * Use Poison Trail to weaken Minions so you can farm.
    * Always keep an eye on how much Mana you have left as you toggle Poison Trail on. Leaving Poison Trail on too long can accidently burn a lot of precious Mana.
    * Never use Fling on Minions. Save this ability for enemy Champions you can get close to.
    * Because Mega Adhesive does no damage, there is no point to using this on Minions to farm.
    * When trying to farm Minion waves, you should only turn on Insanity Potion when you are on the low side of HP/Mana. Activating this ultimate when you are near or at full HP/Mana is wasting the ability.
    External Image

    When your lane is getting pushed toward your Turret, simply act as a buffer against the approaching enemy Minions. Be sure to space yourself far enough so that your Turret can provide cover fire, which will discourage enemy Champions from trying to harass you. By doing this, your Turret will be protected from harm while you play defense. You also have the opportunity to punish anyone who tries to attack you while in this situation.

    * Turn on Poison Trail to expedite killing the Minions close to you.
    * Always be ready to Fling any enemy Champion who overextends. The ideal strategy is to toss the enemy Champion toward the Turret, and hopefully they will get blasted for lots of damage.
    * Shoot out a glob of Mega Adhesive if you can toss an enemy Champion into the Turret's range. Conversely, release some glue on an enemy Champion when you see an ideal moment to attack.
    * Try to tough it out by reserving Insanity Potion for an offensive maneuver. However, sometimes you will need to activate this ability to give yourself some breathing room when you are low on HP/Mana.

  • Other Situations

    External Image

    Singed is a great ganker. He is a bit more hands on than other Champions, which makes Singed's ganking game quite enjoyable.

    * Always have Poison Trail turned on while you are trying to gank someone, but be sure to turn the ability off when you are done ganking.
    * The main goal when ganking as Singed involves using Fling on your intended target.
    * Keep in mind which direction you are facing when using Fling. You do not want to toss the enemy Champion to a spot that can screw up the gank completely.
    * Sometimes, not using Fling right away can be a smart move. For instance, let your Poison Trail do a little bit of damage if you can run past your target. As your target then gets close to you, toss them back. Simple tactics like this can prove quite effective.
    * Use Mega Adhesive to slow your intended target down. Remember that your target just has to touch the glue at any part, including the edges, to lose speed.
    * If you need to shoot out a strategic glob of Mega Adhesive, look for obvious locations like brush and possible chokepoints where your intended target would mostly like move toward.
    * Turn on Insanity Potion when you are ganking.
    * Use Ghost to get a speed boost, and use Ignite for insurance as a finisher.
    External Image

    Singed is an average Turret destroyer at best. He does not really hit Turrets very hard. Because of this, do not rely on Singed to push down the Turret with relative ease. Instead, try to focus on taking out the Minion waves.

    * After your allied Minions have drawn fire from the enemy Turret, move past the Turret and cut off the incoming enemy Minion waves. Make sure you are close enough so you can still hit the Turret. The idea is to get the enemy Minions to stop and attack you as you create separation for your allied Minions, allowing them to hack away at the Turret.
    * Have Singed's back facing away from the Turret with Poison Trail activated. This will slowly kill the melee enemy Minions.
    * You can move up to kill the ranged enemy Minions, and then you should resume hitting the Turret.
    * Be ready to retreat as the enemy Turret is about to shoot down your last allied Minions.
    * You might have to Fling some enemy Champions away from you if they somehow sneak up to you.
    * Be ready to use Mega Adhesive when you need to escape.
    * You can turn on Insanity Potion when you need to make a run for it.
    * Be sure to have your Ghost on standby. Have your eyes peeled for incoming enemy Champions who want to stop you from taking their Turret.
    External Image

    Singed does moderately well in team fights, but he is no juggernaut. As a tank, Singed can do an adequate job of soaking up damage, but other tanks can do it better. Singed's main asset to a team fight is being an initiator. If you are playing Singed correctly, expect to take the brunt of the incoming damage as your team clashes with the opposing side.

    * As an initiator, be ready to make the first move for your team.
    * Turn on Poison Trail as your team is about to clash with your opponents.
    * Throw out Mega Adhesive before, during and after the smoke clears.
    * Pick out key targets to Fling and try to make your way toward them. If you are having trouble reaching your intended target, it is sometimes reasonable to settle for someone you can get your hands on instead. Enemy Champions who overextend can be easy pickings for your teammates to take out easily.
    * Constantly try to use Fling over and over again. Prioritize which enemy Champion needs to be taken out first. Switch gears once one target goes down and immediately look for your next victim.
    * Be on the lookout for situations where you need to Fling enemy Champions away from your allies.
    * Always turn on Insanity Potion before you run into team fights.
    * Use Ghost for a speed boost, and then use Ignite on an enemy Champion who is about to die, just in case.
    * If the situation calls for it, be ready to bail when your team has to retreat. There is no point in dying an unnecessary death if your team is not there to follow up on your initiation.
    * Above all else, be a hero when you need to be. If you have to die in the process so your team can win the team fight, then it is well worth it. Being the martyr can pay huge dividends in the long run.

  • Conclusion

    Though Singed may not be considered a high-grade Champion, I believe he still has some merit as a tank/initiator. Other Champions are certainly more powerful, and in a game dominated by tier status, this means Singed is less likely to be considered for higher-level games. Nevertheless, this fact did not deter me from writing this guide. I chose to write about Singed because he has a straightforward strategy that is interesting and exciting to use.

    Again, in case you missed it at the start, I do not claim to be the best Singed play ever, nor will I declare this guide to be the most efficient means of playing this Champion.

    I took the Singed strategies I normally use during a game and laid it all out in print. I tried to present the information as best as I could, and I hope the writing quality reflects the amount of time I spent putting this together.

    I hoped you enjoyed this guide. Thank you for reading.

Crockpot Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili (V/GF)

For Christmas, I asked for and received from my older sister (thank you, Catie!) a slow cooker. Especially during marathon training, it's hard to have energy left for cooking after going from a full day of work to a run or workout that usually lasts over an hour long. So I figured this would help solve some of my problems.

I pinned a bunch of gluten-free, vegan recipes from Pinterest, and this is the first one I tried.

I'll admit that, while the slow-cooking part is great, about 15-20 mins prep time was still required for this particular recipe (I know, I know--that's not a very long time). I haven't quite figured out when to do the prep--night before? morning of? But how lovely it was to come home after my workout, take a quick shower, and have a warm meal just waiting for me. Granted, I have to look for the recipes that take 8-10 hours in the cooker to make this possible (on a weekday, anyway), but that doesn't seem hard to do so far.

Ingredients:-1 tbsp olive oil-1 onion, chopped-1 bell pepper, chopped-4 garlic cloves, chopped-1 tbsp chili powder-1 tbsp ground cumin-2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder-1/4 tsp ground cinnamon-kosher salt & black pepper-1 (15 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes-1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes-1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed-1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, rinsed-2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces-sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, cilantro, and tortilla chips, for serving
Directions:1. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and add chopped onion and pepper. Saute until mostly soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for an additional minute.2. Transfer peppers and onions to slow cooker. Add chili powder, gumin, cocoa powder, and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper. Add cans of tomatoes (with their liquid) and beans. followed by the sweet potatoes. 3. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until sweet potatoes are tender and chili is thick. 4. Serve chili with sour cream, avocado, cheese, cilantro, and chips, or desired toppings.
I made a few adjustments: I forwent the cocoa, kept the peeling on the potatoes, and decided to add some frozen corn I had because there weren't a lot of vegetables--plus it looked prettier with it.

Starting to prep.

All ingredients are in--just need to turn it on low for 8 hours!

My delicious bowl of chili awaiting my spoon.

Outcome: I found this particular recipe to be a little on the sweet side, with the addition of sweet potatoes and cinnamon, so I added more salt and pepper to try to balance it out. That, along with chopped onions and vegetarian cheese (which Tim did not hate) made it just right! And I had leftovers three times. Bonus!

I can't wait to try another recipe. This week Tim and I were lucky to have his mom prepare meals for us, as we were still recovering from the marathon (spoiled, I know). But I'm excited to get back into meal prep next week. I'll let you know how the next one turns out!

I wonder if I can trick Nick into eating this. He always wants some form of meat with his meal. Hm. Looks delish to me though!

References in classic literature ?
Weston did think of it, she was very strongly persuaded; and though not meaning to be induced by him, or by any body else, to give up a situation which she believed more replete with good than any she could change it for, she had a great curiosity to see him, a decided intention of finding him pleasant, of being liked by him to a certain degree, and a sort of pleasure in the idea of their being coupled in their friends' imaginations.
Her spirits still continued very high; but there was a flutter in them which prevented their giving much pleasure to her sister, and this agitation increased as the evening drew on.
Oh, your theories about life, your theories about love, your theories about pleasure.
Miss Bingley's civility to Elizabeth increased at last very rapidly, as well as her affection for Jane; and when they parted, after assuring the latter of the pleasure it would always give her to see her either at Longbourn or Netherfield, and embracing her most tenderly, she even shook hands with the former.
To a man who had but little to do with pleasure sailing (though all sailing is a pleasure), and certainly nothing whatever with racing in open waters, the writer's strictures upon the handicapping of yachts were just intelligible and no more.
The pleasure he felt was in his face as he said, "My grandfather and I hope all our friends here have enjoyed their dinner, and find my birthday ale good.
And so saying, he was hurrying away, before Fanny, overpowered by a thousand feelings of pain and pleasure, could attempt to speak; but quickened by one sovereign wish, she then called out, "Oh
Never mind, we have plenty of time; and you speak so well, my dear Mousqueton, that it is really a pleasure to hear you.
But, in fact, the 'Paradise Regained' is little, if at all, inferior to the 'Paradise Lost,' and is only supposed so to be because men do not like epics, whatever they may say to the contrary, and, reading those of Milton in their natural order, are too much wearied with the first to derive any pleasure from the second.
The poet, that beautified the sect, that was otherwise inferior to the rest, saith yet excellently well: It is a pleasure, to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tossed upon the sea; a pleasure, to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle, and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of truth
1338a] Now rest itself seems to partake of pleasure, of happiness, and an agreeable life: but this cannot be theirs who labour, but theirs who are at rest; for he who labours, labours for the sake of some end which he has not: but happiness is an end which all persons think is attended with pleasure and not with pain: but all persons do not agree in making this pleasure consist in the same thing; for each one has his particular standard, correspondent to his own habits; but the best man proposes the best pleasure, and that which arises from the noblest actions.
But he would not deny himself the pleasure of giving picturesque details of the odours which met his nostril.

BP wins exclusion of emails from oil spill trial

February 9, 2012 by legitgov

BP wins exclusion of emails from oil spill trial 08 Feb 2012 BP Plc won a court order keeping several potentially damaging emails out of a scheduled trial to determine responsibility for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Wednesday's ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sally Shushan in New Orleans came a day after U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier rejected the oil company's effort to keep evidence about settlements it had already reached out of the trial. The rulings came as Barbier prepares to preside on February 27 over a non-jury trial to assign blame for the April 20, 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig, which killed 11 people and caused the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

Ainge Understands Pierce's Frustration

June 25, 2005
WALTHAM Danny Ainge did not reveal any draft secrets, like what kind of player the Celtics might select at Nos. 18, 50, and 53 Tuesday night during the NBA Draft. In a news flash to no one, the Celtics'executive director of basketball operations will select the best player available regardless of position, age, or ability to make an immediate impact, though he acknowledged it's more likely the Celtics will select a player with college experience.

Other not-so-juicy tidbits from a news conference yesterday included Ainge weighing in on:

    The pool of prospects: "The draft is very deep" and "40 to 50 players will be very disappointed."

   Trades: He doesn't want to move up unless he can get into the top four, but he might consider moving down for a future pick.

The rest of the offseason: "We hope to make some changes on our roster this year."

   Although Ainge added he had contacted the teams that hold the top four picks and thought Andrew Bogut, Marvin Williams, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams were the best players in the draft, he also noted choosing among the top prospects was not something he had to worry about now.

Before addressing where the Celtics must improve, Ainge cautioned his words were not to be taken as an indictment of any current player.

"Our team basketball IQ needs to improve," said Ainge. "A lot of that is inexperience, but we need to be smarter on the court. We need to shoot the ball better and be better passers, which is a lot of basketball IQ. Smarter and just mentally tougher are the two biggest areas. It's just basketball experience. There's a lot of players that don't have real high IQs that don't get straight A's in college that are brilliant on the basketball court. We need some more players like that vs. just the best jumpers and so forth."

That was an interesting statement from Ainge, who started his tenure in May 2003 vowing to bring athleticism to the Celtics. And while Ainge did not want his remarks to shine an unflattering light on current players, he was inevitably asked about Paul Pierce.

He said he has not spoken to Pierce since the end of the season, though he singled out Pierce and Mark Blount as two veterans dedicated to rigorous offseason conditioning routines. Ainge did share some thoughts privately about the All-Star swingman whose name has been the subject of trade rumors.

"I would just say that there's two things in regard to Paul," said Ainge. "Paul is a very emotional kid who I think is affected by a lot of things. He's under a microscope here in Boston and he probably senses that people don't like him as much as we really do. Paul's a terrific player and he's 27 and he's just reaching his prime. I think his next few years can be the best years of his career. So, if Paul were frustrated right now because we are a younger team, that would certainly be understandable to me."

In the past, Pierce has been concerned that he will spend the prime of his career playing for a team that is more focused on developing young talent.

"I totally understand that concern of Paul's," said Ainge. "What can I do? I understand Paul's perspective, but my job is to do what's best for the Boston Celtics, period, not what's best for Danny Ainge, not what's best for Doc Rivers, not what's best for Paul Pierce."

Ainge seems to be acknowledging how difficult it would be for Boston to get something of equal value for Pierce.

   With regard to Antoine Walker, Ainge said he has been in contact with the power forward's agent, Mark Bartelstein. "We're uncertain as to what we're doing, other than to convene and talk when we're allowed to talk [July 1]."

So, draft night should be just the beginning of a busy summer for the Celtics.

US army general says striking Iran bad move

Madu tualang power! Click here
Ynetnews, 19 February 2012

WASHINGTON, Feb 19: The Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Martin Dempsey said Saturday that an Israeli strike on Iran "wouldn’t achieve its long-term objectives" and would be "destabilizing."

In an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, Dempsey said that taking military action against the Islamic Republic would not be not "prudent."

The US general claimed that the economic sanctions imposed on Iran together with international pressure are beginning to have an effect. “We are of the opinion that Iran is a rational actor. We also know, or we believe we know, that the Iranian regime has not decided to make a nuclear weapon."

Addressing the possibility of the US arming the Syrian opposition, Dempsey said "I think intervening in Syria would be very difficult." He explained that international actors like Turkey, Russia and Iran all have an interest in Syria.

Earlier on Saturday British Foreign Secretary William Hague said that Iran is clearly trying to develop a nuclear weapons capability, and if it succeeds it will set off a dangerous round of nuclear proliferation across the Middle East.

"I want you to abolish economists"

I am watching a BBC programme about its own situation comedy Yes, Minister.

Naturally they have featured the embarrassing sketch that Mrs Thatcher forced the cast to accompany her in at an awards ceremony. It featured the Iron Lady saying:
Yes. It's all very simple. I want you to abolish economists.
Well the old girl may be having her way after all. The BBC reports:
Only three economics teachers were trained on teacher training courses in the whole of England last year, shows a study of students entering teaching.

The report's author, Professor Alan Smithers, warns that economics risks "dying out" as a school subject.

There are now more pupils taking A-levels in media studies, expressive arts and PE than economics.
I have an A level in Economics myself. It seemed a wonderfully grown up subject, largely because in those days you could not study it until you were 16.

cabalamat said...

It would be best if A levels in crappy non-subjects were abolished. Failing that, the top universities should draw up a list of A-level subjects that they won't accept as a valid qualification.

One of the reasons people take crap subjects at A level is the perception -- no doubt valid -- that they'll be easy. I know someone who recently did A level Media Studies and Film Studies, which sounds like a total skive.

dreamingspire said...

Before the creation of these non-degrees, I used to rank Sociology as the bottom rung, with economics next rung up. But look at it from another viewpoint: university education is a course in maturity for the young, albeit one that may well burden them with a £20K debt. We hear whinges about the shortage of people taking the traditional scientific degrees, but the job market isn't there for them as it was in the 1960s, and govt denigrates technical competence (Tom Watson, Minister for Public Sector Messing About, take note: simple economics rules).

Edis said...

Thomas Carlyle famously described economics as the 'Dismal Science'.

Not many people know what he was actually objection to.

In the early part of the 19th Century the movement for the abolition of slavery used the evolving aruments of market economics as devastating tool in their campaigns. Carlyle, a bone-hard racist was horrified by the idea that in economics everyone could be considered an equal regardless of race. That was for him a dismal prospect and economics therfore the 'dismal science'.

Toby Philpott said...

This is a trend away from economics and towards business studies which had been going on at a University level since the mid-1990s. I was a lecturer in economics at Staffordshire University between 1993 and 1996.

From memory, within the course of a couple of years the numbers taking the full-time economics degrees HALVED. I think that the numbers of economics graduates has fallen dramatically since the mid-1990s (I'd need to check the statistics again) and consequently the numbers of teachers available to teach economics has fallen.

I think that it's because of the perception that the subject is hard because you might need to be able to use a little bit of algebra! Shocking thought eh?

Gearing up

Sorry for the silence. Not sure what's accounting for it...I've been very busy, but that's no excuse. I think I've been a bit down in the dumps with a birthday ending in zero earlier this month that really funked me out. I survived (helped by Will lovingly whisking me away to Miami Beach that weekend - thank you, Will). Life goes on.

Although my heart really isn't in it, we made the decision to proceed with a frozen embryo transfer, so that I didn't waste the Depot Lupron I'd taken for two months thinking we were headed for a donor cycle. So I'm in the midst of daily Lupron and estrogen patches and acupuncture. I'm off ALL caffeine, including chocolate, caffeine-free sodas, and decaffeinated products (God help me). We even went back to the reproductive immunologist and so I'm on baby aspirin and I'll be starting lovenox and prednisone soon. As well as doing my first infusion of IVIG. In addition to the Denver recommendation for folks with recurrent miscarriage of pepcid and claritin. So no shortage of drugs to try to make things work.

In the meantime, we've got two lovely potential egg donors in the midst of testing. So far things look promising for both of them, but we'll see...

Frozen embryo transfer is scheduled in Denver for Thursday, Feb. 9. I wish I felt more optimistic, but maybe that would be crazy. This is my ninth transfer, after all, and still no kids. But you never know, right?

I thought it would feel better than it does to be doing something. But yeah, well...not really. Still, maybe it would feel worse not to be moving forward with something? Probably.

More to come, maybe even some hope if I can drum it up.

Check The Credits: Songwriter James Fauntleroy II On Writing Hits For Rihanna, Jordin Sparks, Justin Timberlake & More

Working on Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience album

“That shit was a dream come true. Anytime you have a serious passion about anything – whether it’s singing or weed or eating snacks or whatever your passion is – whenever you’re around other people that have that same passion it’s always a crazy experience. I went in there with people that are fuckin’ incredible at everything they do, so it was an honor to be a part of that team, but also it was fuckin’ ridiculous fun like you wouldn’t believe. My favorite record on the first half is all of them, but if I chose one then it would probably be “Strawberry Bubblegum” or ‘Blue Ocean Floor.’”

    His track “Already know” might be the worst track I ever heard. Man if you do something then put some work into it, really disappointed. He has a bunch of tracks and a handfull of them are actually good.

    Used to think he was really good. But when I hear his new tracks lite “Already know” I dont know what the hell is going on with him

text: We're all about getting rid of office clutter here at Lifehacker—usually for the sake of our own sanities—but it turns out you may have a bit more motivation than that to stay tidy. A recent study interviewed HR managers at a number of different companies, asking them how neatness of an employee's desk affects their perception of that person's professionalism. 65% said it "somewhat affects it", while 18% said it "greatly affects it", with only 17% saying it has no effect. It isn't exactly fair, but it's something to think about when you're staring at your tornado of an office: you might want to tidy it up, if only to improve your reputation with your superiors. Hit the link to read the full study. [OfficeTeam via Unclutterer] Photo by Jeffrey Beall.

We feature a lot of do-it-yourself projects here at Lifehacker, but oftentimes they seem undoable because they require a skill you don't have. Thankfully, there are quite a few DIY skills out there that are much easier to learn than you think. Here are our 10 favorites.

10. Coding

Instead of waiting around for someone to build the exact program you need, knowing how to code means you can make it yourself—so no matter what your computer needs, you can make it happen. To get started, check out our Night School lesson on learning to code. It'll introduce you to the basics. While you won't be writing the next Spotify within a few weeks, you could easily get started on making your own web site or putting together a Chrome extension. And, after tackling your first coding project and doing a bit more research, you can move onto something bigger.

9. Working with Electronics

A lot of the coolest DIY projects out there require working closely with electronics like an Arduino. If you're trying to create a house of the future or just put together your own ambient lighting setup, you'll need a basic knowledge of electronics and (probably) soldering. Luckily, there are simple how-to comic books for getting started with both, not to mention our own feature on making your own electronics with Arduino and someone else's code. Not that you need someone else's code since you read #10, right?

8. Sewing

Stereotypical gender roles aside, everyone should have a little sewing knowledge. Whether it's just so you can sew a button back on or fix size issues in an otherwise perfect shirt, knowing how to thread a needle can come in handy pretty often. Best of all, it's super easy to learn the basics—this illustrated guide is a good place to start.

7. Auto Maintenance

Car repairs are actually pretty easy to perform, and pretty hard to screw up. You'd be surprised by what you can pull off, and the kind of money you can save doing things for yourself. Check out our list of car repairs that anyone can do themselves, despite their abilities for more info. That way, when you see the check engine light, you'll break out the tool chest rather than heading to your nearest dealership.

6. Home Repair

Everyone should be able to patch up a little bit of their house, whether it's fixing a hole in the wall, filling a hole in the floor, or even just fixing a stripped screw hole. You should also know a few basic things about plumbing, like how to unclog a drain. None of these things are very difficult, but knowing how to do them saves you a call to a repair man (not to mention a bit of money) when something does go wrong. Photo by Sharon Pruitt.

5. Cooking

If you're still eating cereal and ramen noodles 3 meals a day, it's time to learn a few things about cooking. You don't need to be Mario Batali to pull off something that tastes good. Check out our 10+ dishes and drinks everyone should know how to make at home, plus how to eat healthy when you hate cooking. And if you're on a budget, don't let that stop you—you can still enjoy great food without blowing a lot of money, too.

4. Photo Editing

So maybe you've got the basics of photography down, but you've always wanted to learn how to make those photos look even more awesome with software like Photoshop. We've taught you how to touch up photos with color correction, whiten teeth, remove blemishes, brighten an image, change a specific color, and more in our learn the basics of Photoshop Night School, so check that out to get a primer on everything you can do to edit a photo. If you don't want to pay for Photoshop, though, it's worth noting you can do all those things in the free, cross-platform GIMP as well. While you're at it, check out our #photoshop tag to see all the Photoshop tips and tricks we've shared over the years.

3. Building a Computer from Scratch

If you're still buying Dells, it's time to take the leap into custom computer building. You'll get a lot more out of your machine, being able to control what you put in and get the perfect machine for your needs—plus, if you're lucky, even save a little money. Check out our night school on how to build a computer from the ground up to see how easy it really is, and if you're having trouble picking out parts, we've created a few awesome builds that should help you start your search.

2. Jailbreaking/Rooting Your Phone

You've heard us talk about it constantly, whether we're sharing the 10 best root-only Android apps or talking about how to remove manufacturer-installed junk like Carrier IQ. If you still haven't rooted or jailbroken your phone out, it's time to take the plunge, because it's super easy. We have always up-to-date guides for both Android and the iPhone, plus a whole host of information on what to do after you've jailbroken or after you've rooted, too.

1. Emergency Preparedness

It's hard to argue that survival isn't the most important thing on this list. If you don't already have a 72 hour emergency kit and some basic survival skills, there's no better time than now to learn. You never know when disaster might strike, and when it does, you may very well be left on your own, so knowing how to help yourself can make a big difference—even a strategically placed phone can be part of a good emergency plan. And, as always, none of this is actually very hard—it just requires a bit of forethought. So check out our top 10 emergency and survival tricks to stock up your knowledge now.

Got any easy, useful DIY skills we forgot to mention? Tell us about them in the comments.

Headed to Cody and the Wild West

The road from Sheridan, WY to Cody, WY goes through some beautiful, albeit steep, scenery. Don't mind the drive-by shooting...

I did stop at Shell Falls - the water was rip-roaring.

The first thing we did in Cody was go to the PowWow. Several tribes were represented, and each had different costumes and dances.

There were separate classes for all the different age groups for men and women, boys and girls.

One of the tribes were really into elk teeth as decorations, even the kids.

We also scored front-row seats at the nightly gun fight in town.

It was pretty amusing, but I was glad I had ear plugs.

When the players offered to pose afterward, I hopped right up. I liked the bad guys...

  1. That waterfall is gorgeous! I don't think we'll get to that one, but maybe another. It takes guts to sit and pose in that chair!

  2. OK, I think that might be the funniest chair I've ever seen. The color of your shirt goes with the uh, "decor!" ;-)

  3. Ooh how funny!!! Love that chair...

  4. What fun! That chair makes your butt look big!

  5. Honey, does this chair make my butt look big? (Wish I had those nice legs, though!)

    I love all those gun fights and stuff in the middle of the street. :)

  6. I'm not even going to comment on your butt shot, I value my head too much... :cD

    Were you able to take those cowboys home with you, even if they were the bad guys?

  7. Great pictures. We were at a PowWow there maybe 25 years ago:)

  8. POW and WOW...those guys look very authenic...and the butt stool is just way too cool.,,haha
    I love the Rip Roaring Falls too..

  9. What fun!! We have some friends heading that way in a few days! They are in for a treat!

  10. Sounds like a great time and the chair picture is absolutely hilarious.

I love comments!

Springtime Crossover!

I've been stockpiling some killer 45s so what better time than springtime to put together a little comp? It kinda turned into a Garage / R&B crossover thing and digs into some evil rockers from the Garage Greats reissue series too. Don't miss the Chiquita record (wow!) on Cha Cha or the R&B / Doo-Wop number La La by The Cobras. These two absolutely kill me.

[b-hebrew] Daniel 6:27 (time indefinite) II

Karl Randolph kwrandolph at email.com
Thu Nov 17 18:38:58 EST 2005

The "core meaning" (which I think you introduced in this
discussion) goes back to our discussions on whether or
not lexemes have basically one meaning or many. As for
me, I still maintain that lexemes have one basic meaning
for each time period, but that they can change over time.
Also we need to keep in mind complex lexemes (where
two or more lexemes used consistently together can have
its own meaning separate from each component lexeme)
and idiomatic phrases.

That one meaning may have a broad semantic use, or
narrow one, or may even be a total subset of another one,
but that doesn't change the basic pattern.

This is the way people use language.

Translators often find that the semantic range of one
lexeme in an originating language may overlap two or
more semantic ranges in a receiving language, hence an
accurate translation can use two or more lexemes to
render the meaning of the originating language. But that's
a problem of translation, not language use.

What do you mean by "in the perception of the person
using the word"? To me it sounds like you are limiting it to
a western cultural concept. Just because someone may
perceive an event as taking place much longer than his
life span away does not mean that his perception thereof
is eternity. That certainly is not my perception and I see no
reason for the ancients to be any different.

To put this question in context, many Moslems are still
angry at Charles Martel for stopping them on the road to
Paris, and still mourn the loss of Andulasia. How many of
us westerners even remember those events? And they
are particularly piqued at the Roman Catholic Church for
copying their concept of Jihad and using it against them.

Likewise, I think your view of (WLM is too narrow.

Karl W. Randolph.

And if the device connected to the 1394 port (or any other digital port)

I've used neither, but my strong opinion is that the one whose MythTV is
properly configured will perform better (i.e. distro makes no
difference--regardless of the "built for your system" claims some make).

You know, this is one of the things that I think confuses the heck out of a lot
of new Mythtv users. I suppose the reason is that Mythtv came first, and then
MythVideo is a plugin with it's own rules which came later.

But to most users, a file with video on it is a file with video on it,
regardless of it's origins. Is there any specific reason why Mythvideo files
shouldn't use the same storage mechanisms as recorded data? OK you'd probably
have to set various flags in the database entries differently, but even so. If
you have a mechanism for storing and managing video files, why not make use of
it? If I had hacked up^W^Wdesigned MythVideo, the existing file management would
be one of the first things I would have looked at. Why re-invent the wheel?

Howdy David,

While I agree that it is slightly annoying that it doesn't display more than
just 3 hours horizontally (I'd like to see a few more hours), is that
perhaps a trade-off vs. the performance that it takes to generate and/or
render 300 or more lines worth of listings for those 3 hours?  8x the number
of hours would perhaps mean an 8x slow down?  And to be honest, 24 hours of
listings seems like an overkill to me.

Just another -user,

[SLUG] Indexing under Linux

I have been asked by the editor of The Indexer -- the academic journal of indexers worldwide -- to write a brief non-technical piece about indexing under Linux; and by 'indexing' here I mean creating the A-Z indexes found at the backs of books and journals. My impression is that there is currently no specific Linux indexing software and no projects going on to create any, but because of the many meanings of 'index' it's hard to search the Web for this conclusively. Does anyone have any information they would like to share on book indexing software projects specifically for Linux, either free or commercial? Respond directly to me if you don't think others will be interested.

I will take silence to mean 'No'.

cache freshness / age calcs

From: Adrien de Croy <adrien@qbik.com>
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:12:01 +1300
Message-ID: <4AD29E81.3000801@qbik.com>
To: HTTP Working Group <ietf-http-wg@w3.org>

Hi all

I've been poring through draft-ietf-httpbis-p6-cache-07 trying to figure
out what to do in a particular case.

This case is where the origin server has a clock that is way out of
whack, and specifies expiry times close to the level of error.  No Age
header, so presumably not from some intermediary cache.

The documentation for calculation of the apparent age states:

"A response's age can be calculated in two entirely independent ways:

   1.  now minus date_value, if the local clock is reasonably well
       synchronized to the origin server's clock.  If the result is
       negative, the result is replaced by zero.

   2.  age_value, if all of the caches along the response path implement

The obvious question being what if the clocks are not reasonably well
synchronised, and 2 doesn't hold either (either not all HTTP/1.1 or no
Age header)?  How can you even tell if a clock is synchronised or not?
In that case does the spec not attempt to specify how to calculate age?

In my problem case, using now - date_value places a huge skew on the
time at which the stored response can no longer be considered fresh.  It
significantly reduces the effectiveness of the cache.  Obviously the
resolution is to get the server admin to fix their clock, but that's an
uphill battle.

I would presume that if you get a response with a Date header, and no
Age header from a 1.1 O-S, then you should presume that the Date header
is an indication of the local clock at that server (ignoring RTT and
time to generate).  If there is an age header, you should consider the
Date header to be some date in the past from which the Age was
subsequently calculated (e.g. caches don't update Date headers to their
own value when serving from cache - or do they?).   Is this why the age
is calculated as the larger of the received age value vs the apparent
age rather than the sum of the 2?

If a response didn't come from a cache, it cannot have been generated
before it was requested.  Therefore calculating an apparent age is
misguided if there is no age header.  A conservative view of the age of
a response not from cache should therefore be bounded by the age of the
request, rather than the difference in clocks (which can be large).

What do browsers commonly do in this case?

JC Thanks.  An alternative is calling for a cab from Eastside Taxi which is
a flat $29 to Bellevue.  You need to call ahead and they pick up on the
upper level (departure level).  Their number is  425-453-9000

It isn't.  The Extended Naming Rules (ENR) TC makes it possible to
deal with the many additional characters, but doesn't prescribe what
additional characters should go into any class of characters modifiable
in a concrete syntax.  You can include or not include this special
space character in the same way that a tab is included in whitespace
in the reference concrete syntax.

We are trying to gather as much information on cognitive disabilities as
Although I was aware of Hyperlexia, were text is often more useful then
illustrations, I was not aware of a disability group whose perception was
impaired by illustrative non animated illustrations.

Could you provide more information about this Jim.
It is exactly the kind of information that we need to include as many
disabilities as possible.

Newbie questions

I was looking at and playing around with absolute and relative positioning.
I have a few questions, however:

1) Is there a way to position something based on the right edge of the
browser? It's all based on the right or top from the docs I was looking
2) Differences in implementations: Mozilla vs IE 6.0. I have this in
my .css file:
#header {position: absolute; top: 40px; left: 0px; width: 100%; color:
white; background: blue}
In Mozilla, this does what I expect. That is, the left and right sides
are butted right up to the edge of browser sides. On IE, there is a few
pixels of blank space on the right side of the screen. Am I doing something
wrong, or is M$ bungling up standards again?

     Actually, what it tells me is that they have information flow control
     more like corporations than universities, and that they should look
     there for possibly already configured solutions to their problem.  The
     firewalls mailing list address such things commonly.
     Beats me why folks keep bringing in their own prejudices to a comon p
     roblem.  A shame they are blocked by their own fears and wind up
     re-inventing the wheel.  Ah well.....

Erm, like what? That there are still people who believe in morality in an
increasingly amoral society? That not everyone thinks that freedom of speech
is the highest human good? That a private organisation has a right to apply
particular rules to its members?

Somehow, though, I don't think you meant any of those things.
