Are you still finishing up fruit cake leftovers? December certainly gave us much to celebrate — the ultimate month of gifting meant new records for the Etsy community in GMS, items sold, and new members!
The $117.8 million of goods sold (after refunds and cancellations) represents a 72.9% increase from December 2011's total. At the same time, items sold were up 78.8%. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Etsy community in December 2012!
Thanks for the info... the holiday season was great for me, too!
Very impressive. Good job etsey and sellers.
These are very exciting numbers!
Wow, these figures are staggering!
we seem to be doing better every month!!!
Is this December or November? There was a mix of both in the report so I am not sure what figures go to what month.
A 5 BILLION page views drop from November 2012 stats? WOW, guessing here but I think that those Google Shopping Ads make a massive difference. Thinking this because the google ad budget kept running out early in the day, ALL the items from etsy were removed from google shopping until midnight when the google ad budget was reset, so basically in December (PRIME SHOPPING TIME BTW) our items were only seen in Google shopping between midnight and noon many days of December. Thanks so much for deciding to continue with the Google Shopping ads in 2013 and hopefully this won't ever happen again.
I would love to know how many gift cards were sold!
Great numbers! Can you share numbers on gift card sales?
Would also love to see how many gift cards you sold please. Can you add that as a monthly stat to the weather report?
My December sales were great this year! I'm glad to hear everyone on etsy got a nice holiday bump. I can't wait to see if I get more post-holiday sales from gift card purchases!
Great news to hear! Thank you!
Awesome news! But what about gift cards sold!?
I did sell more custom portraits this year than last! Thanks Etsy!
It would be interesting to know how many of those 1,441,833 new members were buyer only accounts or new shops.
Are gift card sales included in those numbers: items sold and sales totals? It would be really informative to know how many gift cards are sold and redeemed each month, maybe you can add that stat for next month.
Growing each month, and December was good, expect my t-shirts will do quite well through the spring and summer too! Thanks!! Seem to be getting quite an Etsy community following as well as visitors to the main website! I've got no complaints!
Sarantos, I don't know where on earth are you getting that 5 billion number from? The page views were certainly down November to December, from 1.58 billion to 1.53 billion. Last year, page views dipped from 1.3 to 1.2 billion (a more significant drop) and then bounced back up again in January, so it's likely seasonally normal.
Love being part of this brisk business group.
Sounds good to me. Count me in as one of those who would like to know about gift card sales. I had one gift card purchase in November I believe, but none since then. I was expecting more gift card action to be honest. Curious to know how many were sold.
Wow! Great job etsy sellers. I had a wonderful Christmas season and it looks like many, many others did too. So proud to be a part of etsy!
Over one million new members?! That's great!
Wow, great! I would be interested to know also how the gift cards figured in and also what the dollar amount sold was for them.
Been noticing page view increases have been slowing. Any idea what's going on?
I know our shops' sales were up! Congrats to all and may it only get better!
0.53 billion of those 1.53 billion views were probably sellers trying to find their items in the new search called "Browse".
Curious as to why the don't comp page views.
I'm glad somebody is making money. My income for December was $0. Views for December was about 25% that of Octobers views. I see that new listings were down quite a bit in November, so could all of this mean that the new viewing options started in mid-October is the cause for this? I sure think so.
Happy New Year to Everyone. Thanks for the stat updates!
Congratulations to the Etsy community! Great numbers!
Amazing numbers! Congrats to everyone!
That is so great! Those numbers are amazing.... Would be nice if we could see the data broken down further, for example how many gift cards were sold.
What numbers! Would be interesting to compare our Shop numbers to Etsy stats in the following categories. 1. % of new customers that used DC vs Pay Pal 2. % of repeat customers that used DC vs Pay Pal 3. % of Gift Cards Sold and % used in Dec 4. % of new customers that left feedback 5.% of repeat customers that left feedback 6. Breakdown of % of Vintage Shops, Handmade Shops and Supply on Etsy at the end of 2012. Knowing these %'s would break down the realities for our future growth!
Interesting to see more people bought in December then November, which houses the biggest shopping day of the year. Guess people do wait until the last minute!
Great news! I would also like to hear how many gift cards were sold and what the percentage was compared to overall sales.
Selling your soul really pays off!
Excellent news! It would be good to know how many of those new members are buyer only account. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, all! Thanks for the update!
I would also love to hear the gift card stats. Awesome news otherwise!
Its awesome , I was overwhelmed and hope that it will continue.
How wonderful!!!! Great to be part of this.
My annual sales doubled during the holiday season! Best season ever!
I had a terrific November and December as well! Thanks Etsy I love being a part of the party.
Thanks for sharing those stats those figures are amazing!
My November and December sales were the best ever. Thank you Etsy!
Those statistics are huge! I hope everyone had a great holiday season!
Wow that is great news! This past December was my best month EVER and an end to a very great year, thanks Etsy for the platform to sell!!
My December was up from last year but not my best month of this year, better than the last 4 months though. These statistic reports would be more helpful if they were broken down into categories of what was sold and what percentage of new members are buyers or sellers.
Sounds really great. Would love to have some figures on the amount of giftcards sold/redeemed, number of shops accepting them etc.
Thanks for the great info! In the future, will there be more detailed info that will help shop owners analyze their own shops to make them a success?
This was my first year on Etsy and Nov. and Dec. I did incredible sales! More than I ever could imagine and now I'm full-time selling and plan to hire a full time assistant. It would be helpful to have sales broken out in a matrix to compare each month and have a sales stats similar to the backend of our Etsy stores broken out in category rather that one lump sum. Just a thought.
Good to see the bigger picture.
I love these weather reports.
December was wonderful! Ugh, I don't want to see the weather report for January though...it's been cloudy with a chance of credit card debt.
The increase in sales despite the page view drop from November to December is interesting. I think people like to browse a lot in November and then get serious about their holiday purchases in December.
Amazing numbers! Great to be part of it! Thank you for the numbers, first time I found such data but had always been curious about it.
my sales were 3 times larger this Dec than Dec 2011. Thanks for being such a great site to sell goods on.
powerful information, that matched my experience. Keep on growing!!!
Great article info! I love being part of Etsy's family!
Etsy, You are the Best! I'm So glad to be with you.
Are you still doing the monthly weather reports?

When should I add chemotherapy concurrently to radiation therapy in resected advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)?
When should I recommend the placement of a feeding tube in a head and neck cancer (HNSCC) patient receiving radiation treatment?

Disease recurrence is a major problem in resected advanced head and neck cancer. The addition of radiation treatment after surgical resection can reduce the risk of locoregional relapse. The addition of chemotherapy may further reduce that risk and improve outcomes in specific settings.
Clinical scenario
A 53-year-old man is post laryngectomy and left neck dissection for locally advanced laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. His surgical pathology revealed positive margins, and 2 of 16 lymph nodes were positive for metastatic disease with presence of extracapsular extension (ECE). What adjuvant treatment should he receive?
Cisplatin is the drug of choice in the adjuvant setting. Cisplatin can be administered either weekly (40 mg/m2) or every 3 weeks (100 mg/m2), concurrently with adjuvant radiation. The role of cetuximab in the adjuvant setting remains investigational.
Chemotherapy strongly recommended
Positive surgical margin
ECE of nodal disease
Chemotherapy to be considered
Pathologic N2/N3 disease
Pathologic T3/T4 disease
Presence of perineural invasion
Presence of lympho-vascular invasion
The RTOG95-01 trial, a randomized controlled study comparing adjuvant radiation to combined adjuvant cisplatin and radiation in patients with resected locally advanced HNSCC, revealed that in subgroups of patients with ECE or positive surgical margins, the locoregional failure rate (LRF) and disease-free survival at 10 years were significantly in favor of the chemoradiation arm. There were a trend toward improvement in overall survival (OS) in that study arm as well.1 Similarly, the EORTC-22931 study enrolled patients with resected HNSCC with high-risk features, including positive surgical margins, ECE, pathologic N2/N3 or T3/T4 stage, perineural involvement, and vascular tumor embolism. Concurrent high-dose cisplatin and radiation improved progression-free survival and OS and lowered LRF compared with adjuvant radiation only.2
The addition of cisplatin concurrently with radiation improves clinical outcome in patients with high-risk features (and is strongly recommended in patients with ECE or positive margins), at the expense of increased toxicities.

Treatment with radiation with or without chemotherapy has improved the outcome of HNSCC patients. However, development of mucosal toxicities is common in these patients and often leads to weight loss. The question is whether a feeding tube should be ...

This article examines the effects which the drone strike campaign in Pakistan is having on Al Qaeda Central. To that end, it constructs a theoretical model to explain how the campaign is affecting Al Qaeda's capacity to carry out terrorist attacks in the United States and Western Europe. Although the results of one single empirical case cannot be generalised, they nonetheless constitute a preliminary element for the construction of a broader theoretical framework concerning the use of armed drones as part of a counter-terrorism strategy.

The Entertainer is the name of a 5 disc Garth Brooks DVD collection of previously aired television specials and music videos.  The collection was released on November 1, 2006 and was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores.  Most of the footage is from different angles than seen on the original broadcast.

Contents
The collection contains the following previously aired television specials and music videos:
Disc 1: This Is Garth Brooks (1992)
Disc 2: This Is Garth Brooks, Too! (1994)
Disc 3: Live From Dublin (1997)
Disc 4: Live from Central Park (1997)
Disc 5: Video Greatest Hits (1989–2005)

Discs 1, 2, 3 and 4 each contain an edited edition of a previously-aired Garth Brooks television special. References to Brooks' ex-wife Sandy Mahl have been edited out of all four specials, as have most of her likenesses, save a rare brief shot on disc 3. Disc 5 contains a collection of Brooks' music videos, spanning from his first major label album release in 1989, to his last new collection in 2005. They each contain the main program content, two bonus songs, and a photo montage.

Disc 1 contains the program This Is Garth Brooks, filmed during Brooks' September 20 and 21, 1991 sold-out concerts at the Reunion Arena in Dallas Texas. This Is Garth Brooks first aired on January 17, 1992 on NBC-TV.

Disc 2 contains the program This Is Garth Brooks, Too!, a follow-up to the previous show. The concert took place on June 12, 1993 at Texas Stadium, which sold out in 92 minutes, selling over 65,000 tickets and breaking the previous sales record held by Paul McCartney. Dallas fans demanded and got more shows: a second show sold 65,000 tickets in 92 minutes, as did a third.

Disc 3 contains the program Live From Dublin, three sold out concerts in Dublin's Croke Park on May 16, 17, and 18, 1997. 150,000 tickets were sold, which broke a record previously set by U2 in 1992. The concert first aired on March 5, 1998 on NBC and was watched by over 15.7 million people.

Disc 4 contains the program Live in Central Park, which was a free concert in New York City's Central Park on August 7, 1997. Many fans started calling the event "Garthstock", which was attended by 980,000 fans, which was the largest concert ever in Central Park.

Disc 5 contains 15 music videos, from 8 of Brooks' 10 studio albums (except Ropin' the Wind and the Chris Gaines release). It includes some of his biggest hits, including The Thunder Rolls, The Dance, and Callin' Baton Rouge.

The first four discs each offer the program in original Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo surround, and DD 5.1 surround. Each also contains a 10-12 minute photo montage, and two additional songs, though one of the discs, the songs are merely deleted from the original full-length programme and placed in special features.

While Viola is not the most popular stringed instrument it has many advantages for learning it. More than just a beautiful instrument it gives its players great opportunities for playing and advancement in local and school orchestras. Typically, there are more violinists fighting for position, the Violist's tend to be few and therefore have more opportunities. When choosing a stringed instrument to learn the student would be wise to consider the viola. If you are having a hard time finding a viola teacher, there is a reason for that; Quality Viola teachers are very hard to find. Mobile Music Academy works hard to find quality, professional viola teachers throughout the greater Nashville area including Brentwood and Franklin.
Great Teachers + Amazing Convenience = Hassle Free Lessons for you.
Each Viola instructor has gone through a thorough interview process including a background check. We take our music lessons seriously and only choose the top candidates as a string instructors.
We take the time to learn about each student's needs and goals and then match the right viola teacher to the student. No matter the age, style or skill level.
While viola students can start quite young typically students start with the violin first. After they have grown into a full size violin they then move to the viola, typically, this is around 12-13 years old.
Those students looking to upgrade to a high quality stringed instrument should be sure to test out several different types. Older instruments are a good investment, though more expensive than modern models. We will happily give you tips to help you find the right model.
The most affordable entry into stringed instruments is through renting, though the quality is usually lower. Still, this is a great option for beginning students, if they progress well and continue playing as they get older, it makes sense to purchase a new instrument at that time.

One lone marcher was seen sporting a "Je suis Raif Badawi" sticker at last Sunday's mass freedom rally in Paris.
Today the young Saudi blogger Raif Badawi who dared call for freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia will be publicly flogged for the second Friday in row to mark the Muslim Holy Day. The whipping takes place after Friday prayers outside a mosque in the Red Sea coastal city of Jeddah.
Badawi was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes with a whip, to be meted out over 20 consecutive Fridays.
His "crime" was to set up a website titled "Free Saudi Liberals" and call for democratic political reform.
The lack of punitive action by the U.S., Britain or any of Saudi Arabia's western allies is deafening.
He has also been ordered to pay a fine of 1m Saudi riyals ($266,000), money he doesn't have.
His case is part of a wider clampdown on dissent by the regime, and is being used as warning to anybody else calling for democracy.
"It is horrifying to think that such a vicious and cruel punishment should be imposed on someone who is guilty of nothing more than daring to create a public forum for discussion," said Amnesty International in a statement.
Following the sentencing and threats against them, Badawi's wife and children have been given political asylum in Canada.
His wife says her husband's frail body may not be able physically to withstand a second round of 50 lashes.
Update: The Saudi authorities have just announced that they have "postponed" the next 50 lashes until next Friday.
Brandeis University (the president of which subscribes to this email list) cut relations with Al-Quds University after this email list posted exclusive photos of a series of Fascistic rallies by students on campus, urging Jews to be killed.
However, America's Bard college – using U.S. State Department sponsorship money through USAID – continues, in part, to finance Al-Quds University.
Update: The university authorities, once again trying to hide their activities from their American and Europe funders, have within the last few minutes (after I posted it on my website) removed the video, but PMW managed to make a back up copy here.
For the first time since the Nazi era, Jewish schools in Brussels and Antwerp are closed today due to threats to kill Jewish children.
The decision was made by the Belgium authorities, together with the country's Jewish communities and reportedly after consultation with the Israeli intelligence agency, the Mossad.
Around 40,000 Jews live in Belgium.
The move comes a day after Belgian police conducted an anti-terror operation in which two jihadists were shot dead in a gun battle in the town of Verviers, near Belgium's border with Germany.
In nearby Amsterdam, a synagogue and a Jewish school have also been closed today.
In May 2014, an Islamist terrorist, Mehdi Nemmouche, who had also joined jihadist groups in Syria before returning to Europe, killed four Jews at the Brussels Jewish Museum.
In separate anti-terror raids this morning, Germany arrested two suspects said to be plotting an attack, and 12 people were detained in three different French towns on suspicion that they were linked to the Paris supermarket killer.
Hundreds of Berlin police raided 11 residences at dawn, arresting Turkish and Chechen national said to be plotting attacks.
In an unrelated raid, anti-terror police in Wolfsburg, about 200 km west of Berlin, arrested a 26-year-old German-Tunisian dual national this morning.
CNN reported that a Western intelligence source said the ongoing terror threat appears to involve up to 20 sleeper cells of between 120 to 180 people ready to strike in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. EU and Middle East intelligence agencies identified an "imminent threat" to Belgium.
Calls are being made on the leader of the British Liberal Democrat party to expel its MP David Ward for saying it made him feel "sick" that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was allowed to attend the mass demonstration of unity against terrorism that was held in Paris on Sunday.
Previously, Ward had angered the Jewish community by making what many said were anti-Semitic remarks in January 2013, on International Holocaust Memorial Day.
"The only foreign dignitary who had genuine reason to be on the march was the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Jews were deliberately targeted by the terrorists in Paris, and Israel is on the frontline of the global jihad.
The BBC and New York Times have downplayed, in much of their coverage, the fact that in his "martyrdom video," released by his fellow Islamists after his death, Amedy Coulibaly made it absolutely clear he wanted to kill Jews as Jews and the attack had nothing to with the Palestinians.
And unlike CNN (who have reported this) the BBC failed to mention that the female employee of Charlie Hebdo who was called out by name by the terrorists, who knew she was Jewish, was executed because of this. The terrorists left all the other female staff (none of whom were Jewish) alone.
"He told us he was doing this in the name of the Islamic State, [talked about] the caliphate and all that.
"At one point, he browsed the aisles and made himself a little sandwich.
"Then he turned his attention to what was being said in the media, becoming very angry that news channels were not reporting that people were killed during the market take-over.
Lassana Bathily, 24, of Malian origin, who helped hide Jewish hostages including a three-year-old child, in the freezer, has been awarded French citizenship in recognition for his bravery. He has lived in France since 2006.
The four Jewish men who lost their lives in the terror attack were buried in Israel on Tuesday. Among other considerations, it was feared that had they been buried in France, their gravestones would have been defaced by anti-Semites.
In total 6 of the 17 persons killed in the Paris attacks were Jewish. Five of these Jews were from North Africa. The BBC and others didn't mention this because they may prefer not to let people know there were Jewish refugees from Arab countries – such refugees and their descendants make up over half the Jewish population of Israel. It doesn't fit the narrative by some journalists at BBC News that Jews and Israelis are not indigenous to the Middle East.
In a strongly worded speech to the country's National Assembly, which has been underreported outside France, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls denounced the "new anti-Semitism".
You may want to watch it here.
The President of Turkey has suggested French security forces are to blame for the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris last week, alleging the culprits were recently released from French prisons to carry out the massacres.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused "the West" of "playing games with the Islamic world," warning fellow Muslims to be "aware".
Despite President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron having launched their terms of office by making charm offenses towards Erdogan, he has responded with a string of anti-Western and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, of which this is only the latest.
Drawings of the prophet Mohammed have been made by Muslim artists over many centuries.
But when will the BBC tell viewers and listeners this, as France's national network France 24 has done, showing such pictures even on its Arabic language service here.
Some years ago, I posted a compilation of some beautiful historic drawings of Mohammed on my website, if you scroll down here.
Britain's international broadcaster Sky News, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch (although he exercises no editorial control) has bowed to the demands of Islamic extremists and cut short an interview with French journalist and feminist Caroline Fourest when she held up a copy of Charlie Hebdo.
Among recent related dispatches: BBC prevents Israeli minister from showing photos of Jewish victims.
As I have noted before on this list, Turkey is one of the worst countries in the world for jailing journalists.
Some British universities are also banning Charlie Hebdo. For example, here at Bristol University.
This important piece has now been translated from the original Arabic and published in the English language version of the Beirut publication Now Lebanon (the editor of which subscribes to this list and sent it to me to share with readers). The editor is a Shia Muslim.
These killers are us. They are our religion at its most extreme.
Condemnations are no longer sufficient. They were never enough in the first place … The people from the Sunni camp of contemporary Islam who carried out the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the Pakistani school massacre before it, the massacres by ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the 9/11 attacks and other atrocities all belong to true Islam. The same applies to the people in the Shiite camp of contemporary Islam who kidnapped and killed foreign journalists in Beirut, and issued and renewed the fatwa that said the blood of British writer Salman Rushdie could be spilt. They are a central part of true Islam and its many schools of jurisprudence.
It doesn't matter which Islamic text, whether it is a Qur'anic or jurisprudential text, or a text recounting the sayings of the Prophet Mohammad; the killers do not kill for nothing, they kill in the name of books, fatwas, ayahs and age-old tradition. All of these things are inseparable parts of true Islam. They will remain Muslims as long as they pronounce the shahada and as long as the religious institution doesn't dare to modernize the criteria for being a Muslim.
It was very telling that straight after the announcement of the Charlie Hebdo massacre people's thoughts turned to Islamist extremists, despite the fact that the French magazine's satire spared not Judaism, Christianity nor the French political establishment. This is because Islam's relationship with the present is in crisis, and any group going through such a crisis is always the first suspect. In fact, Islam as a whole stands accused in advance, and not only its extremist fringe. The original texts that form an inseparable part of true Islam and inspire the ongoing crimes committed in its name are also guilty. This will be true as long as there is no central authority to reorganize the relationship between the Islamic text, as a piece of history, and the necessities of the present day, in the same way the Qur'anic text itself acclimatized as the ayahs were gradually sent down, with some new rulings replacing older ones.
The truth is that what the killers did in Paris has only reinforced the images drawn by the artists of Charlie Hebdo. The only difference between the actions of the artists and the killers is that the number of people who follow caricatures is far less than those who followed the international drama caused by the massacre. Nothing can insult Islam and Muslims as much as such crimes, and yet we still make do with saying that they do not represent true Islam, without providing a clear description of what true Islam is, beginning with our religious schools, some of which are factories for crime, to our constitutions which are rigged with the mines of Islamic jurisprudence and Sharia law.
Nothing insults Islam more than the Charlie Hebdo massacre, which says, from the belly of true Islam itself: Those of us who love the Prophet most are our greatest criminals.
"The night after the Charlie Hebdo atrocities I was pre-recording a Radio 4 programme. My fellow discussant was a very nice Muslim man who works to 'de-radicalise' extremists. We agreed on nearly everything. But at some point he said that one reason Muslims shouldn't react to such cartoons is that Mohammed never objected to critics.
Many critics on right and left have denounced Obama for his repeated reluctance to identify who carried out attacks, as well as for his decision not to join other world leaders at last Sunday's rally in Paris, or even to send Vice-President Joe Biden, who has a relatively free schedule.
Adel Defilaux, who is a French-born Muslim originally from Marseille, has received death threats from other Muslims for displaying a "Je suis Charlie" sign outside his cafe in Brick Lane, a well-known street in East London.
His cafe offers free coffee to the homeless.
The official video of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) showcasing the past winners of the Asian Cup has removed Israel from the pages of the tournament's history.
The video, "History of the AFC Asian Cup: 1956-2011," which is on the AFC's official YouTube channel and was shown at the opening ceremony of the tournament in Melbourne, Australia last week, shows 14 of the 15 previous winners, with only Israel missing. Israel won the cup in 1964.
Australian Jewish groups are calling on the Football Federation of Australia (FFA) to raise the matter with the AFC and the world governing body FIFA.

The top lane meta has shifted away from more damage orientated bruisers into tankier ones but this doesn't mean it's always better to buy tanky items right from the get go if you think you can snowball your lane.
It's common advice that once you start to fall behind in lane you should build tanky stats in order to help you resist their damage and not hemorrhage gold to the point where you might have lost the entire game all on your own.
You're playing Renekton against Shyvana and successfully kill her in lane, it's Shyvana so you probably needed a jungler gank, but you push the minions up to the turret and back. You purchase your Brutalizer with a few potions and return to lane to find Shyvana with a Chain Vest. The other situation would be that Shyvana purchased a non-defensive item but this could be anything that provides no additional defensive stats.
Now you're obviously ahead because you've spent 1337 gold on stats, while she's spent 720 gold, but do you actually do more damage to her?
To start with the simplest part we'll look at how Shyvana has improved. She's got an additional 40 Armour. This means she has gained about 480 additional physical effective health, the amount of physical damage it would take to deplete her health pool. I'm assuming Shyvana has ~1200 hp at level 6, which is about the amount she has with defensive masteries and a Doran's Shield.
The easiest place to start is with the Armour Penetration.
Brutalizer has 10 Armour Penetration, which effectively reduces the armour provided by Chain vest down to 30 from 40. This reduces the physical effective health provided by Chain Vest down to 360 from 480.
Lol Wiki states that Brutalizer's armour penetration passive needs to be worth 115 gold for the item to be worth the gold you spent on it. If we assume that armour costs 18g for 1 point of armour, a number we get by looking at the 40 armour provided by Chain Vest for 720 gold, we'll see that the armour penetration provided by Brutalizer is worth 180g in the situation we're looking at.
Next we'll look at the AD.
This provides Renekton with 80 extra damage on a non-empowered combo and this is a 50% increase on the amount of base damage you'd expect at this level assuming he hits all of his skills on the enemy champion. The actual damage values you see in game will be lowered, due to the additional armour that has been picked up, but they key here is whether the additional damage provided by the brutalizer is higher than the extra physical effective health provided by Chain Vest.
Now this is a little misleading because we're taking Renekton's base damage into account. If we just go for the additional damage provided by the Brutalizer then it would be 2.5 full combos. Again a little misleading because Renekton is likely to harass with Q more often than he is going go be able to all in Shyvana.
Obviously CDR pulls it further into the Brutalizer's favour however I find CDR is very hard to put an exact gold/damage value on because you don't always take advantage of it. 10% CDR takes 0.8 seconds off of the cooldown of Cull the Meek however if you wait more than 0.8s to cast it once it has come off cooldown you've effectively 'wasted' the CDR.
Now I'm not saying CDR isn't useful, because I find it to be the best stat on most champions at some point in the game and there will be points when you are 'spamming your skills' (such as in a teamfight or during a lane duel) and in this case you're getting the maximum out of the stat.
Additionally if you get ganked and your Slice and Dice comes up 1.8 seconds earlier, at rank 1, then that could easily be the difference between being stuck in lane and killed and being able to Slice across the jungler and then Dice to safety. In that case the CDR has stopped you being killed and feeding gold to your lane opponent and the jungler in addition to the gold you would've missed while you were dead. That's a potentially huge amount of gold compared to the cost of any CDR on items.
Also whenever Shyvana levels up she will gain additional health, 95 per level. This will provide Shyvana with an additional 133, reduced to 124 by Brutalizer, physical effective health per level. She also gains armour but given the Shyvana who purchased offensive items and the one who brought a Chain Vest both gain this additional armour then this cancels out so isn't relevant to this scenario as both Renekton's need to get through that health anyway.
Now I know what you're thinking, we're not taking auto attacks into account! You weren't? Well we'll look at it anyway.
At level 6 Renekton has 71.12 base AD. Brutalizer provides 25 AD. Renekton needs to land 14.4 auto attacks in order to fully negate the additional physical effective health provided by Chain Vest.
Brutalizer provides a damage increase on a champion with strong AD ratios against a champion that has purchased a Chain Vest despite the additional armour stats it provides. This makes sense because the champions you'd normally be purchasing the item on, champions like Renekton, Riven, Pantheon, Fiora, tend to have strong AD ratios or attack speed steroids, which are indirectly an AD ratio because they provide you with additional auto attacks, and can therefore make good use of all of the stats provided.
I don't think we could make a list of champions who should definitely buy a Brutalizer to counter a Chain Vest, and Brutalizer shouldn't really be purchased to counter armour stacking anyway, because of how varied the champion pool is and how you want to itemize throughout the game.
In my opinion this does make the most sense because the gold values of the items aren't the same and if we ended up in a situation where a Chain Vest provided significantly more damage reduction then the game would become stale and defensive stats would be far too powerful.
Further – Why buy a Chain Vest at all?
Looking at it from the other angle it does seem like purchasing your Chain Vest isn't all that useful because as soon as they've got a Brutalizer they're able to easily negate the additional defensive stats you've picked up. However this isn't true and you do become more tanky, especially as you level up, and will be able to come out of duels in a much better position than if you brought pure offensive stats. Chain Vest is a strong item for countering physical damage dealers.

A Cruise on the Thames
Anchor Bankside
The largest city in the European Union, the world's second financial centre after New York, home to the second-largest cathedral in the world after St. Peter's in Rome…the list goes on. Take one of our cheap flights to London and discover an impressive metropolis, brimming with wealth, leisure and culture. Acknowledging the importance of open spaces amongst the hustle and bustle of urban life, the city offers numerous green spaces and parks.
If Rome is the capital of Christianity, one could easily say that London is the capital of royalty. The British royal family, without doubt the most famous of them all, is the symbol of the country as a whole, and particularly London. Buckingham Palace, the royal family's official residence, the Tower of London, where all those who offended the monarchy were locked up, now home to the Crown Jewels, and the magnificent Westminster Abbey, the oldest, most famous church in London, which hosts royal coronations and has been the site of the graves of monarchs for the past thousand years, are all prime examples of the monarchy's power. A visit to the Gothic Victorian Palace of Westminster, situated on the banks of the river Thames, clearly highlights the importance of politics, as it is home to the two Houses that make up the British Parliament as well as the emblematicBig Ben, now renamed Elizabeth Tower. Further down the riverbank, you will find the London Eye, the enormous wheel, which offers some of the best views of the city.
Once you've had your fill of such grand sights, head over to the West End, where you can take in some of the best musicals. Its epicentre, Piccadilly Circus, is one of the liveliest areas in the city, and offers a whole host of shops, cinemas, bars and theatres. Illuminated at night by its trademark neon signs, this area is worth a nocturnal visit. The Soho district is also buzzing with nightlife, and is a big hit with the LGBT community.
If you're looking for a museum or two, London is home to some of the best in the world. The British Museum (with over seven million works of art and archaeology from all over the world), the Tate Modern (the world's most visited contemporary art museum, housing works by Dalí, Warhol and Rothko) and the National Gallery (one of the most important international art galleries, housing works by Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Velázquez and Van Gogh) are all must-sees. After such an explosion of culture, relax in one of the city's many green spaces, such as Hyde Park, Regent's Park and St. James's Park. Don't miss out on the crowning glory of European capitals.

And so, that's precisely what I did this morning - made some hempseed butter to take on the road with me!
These benefits are largely due to the complete protein (yes, ALL the essential aminos), good fat (omega 3s and 6s) present in hemp. Hemp is also a wonderful source of a fatty acid called GLA which is both hormonally balancing and anti-inflammatory.
This recipe is wonderful spread on toast or sliced apple. You will love just how easy it is to make too. If you are new to hemp seeds, keep in mind this butter tastes very hemp-y, which is a good thing in my opinion but I LOVE hemp!
Blend until a paste forms. You can stop blending early to keep it chunky or continue blending for a smoother texture.
If you want a creamier and/or sweeter texture add more oil or more maple syrup.
Just made this one with coconut oil and it's fantastic! Thanks Joy!
good recipe - thanks! I also made a variant using 1/4 cup of shredded fresh coconut in place of the dates - that turned out well also. I'm looking for recipes that use whole, unshelled hempseed but am finding very little. the whole seeds have great fiber content and some other components that should be healthy. Any ideas or possible resources? thanks!
I've never tried hemp seeds before, so am looking forward to giving this a try. Sounds like it might be tasty.
For better digestion or nutriton do you need to grind the seeds to a flour?
Not at all. Hemp seeds are super easy to digest. Enjoy!

MLB playoffs 2015: Five takeaways from Mets' NLDS-clinching win over Dodgers
The Mets joined the Cubs in the National League Championship Series after beating the Dodgers 3-2 in Game 5 of the NL Division Series at Dodger Stadium on Thursday.
The game was billed as a historic pitchers' duel between the Mets' Jacob deGrom and the Dodgers' Zack Greinke, but each starter had a rough first inning before settling down. Daniel Murphy then emerged as a Game 5 hero by clubbing a solo homer off Greinke in the sixth to give the Mets a lead that stood up.

MLB playoffs 2015: Best photos from the National League Division Series
After Noah Syndergaard pitched a scoreless inning in his first career major league relief appearance, Mets closer Jeurys Familia shut down the Dodgers for the final six outs to preserve the club's first win in a series-deciding postseason game since Game 7 of the 1986 World Series.
Here are our five takeaways from Game 5:
1. If there was an MVP award for the series, it would go to Murphy. As if homering off Clayton Kershaw twice already wasn't enough, Murphy further proved his value by going deep off Greinke to put the Mets up for good Thursday. Involved in all three of the Mets' runs in Game 5 - scoring one, driving in the other two - Murphy finished the series batting .333 with three homers, five RBIs, five runs scored and a stolen base.
2. The Dodgers had their chances. DeGrom allowed just two runs in six innings, but it could have been a lot worse. The Dodgers were 2 for 13 with runners in scoring position for the night. Kike Hernandez left four runners on base, while Yasmani Grandal and Corey Seager each stranded three.
3. Murphy's heads-up baserunning kept the Mets alive. After advancing to second base on a Lucas Duda walk in the fourth, Murphy kept on running and stole third after noticing nobody was covering the bag because the LA infield had shifted for Duda. The clever play paid off as Murphy scored on a sacrifice fly by the next batter, Travis d'Arnaud, to tie the game 2-2.
FOSTER: Mets gambled on Familia and won big
4. The Dodgers' postseason woes continue. Three straight NL West Division titles; three consecutive seasons losing in the NLDS. Despite a payroll north of $300 million, the Dodgers disappointed once again. Although Kershaw and Greinke carried LA to a 92-70 regular-season record, the team's stagnant play in September, its mediocre bullpen and the third-oldest lineup in the majors have us wondering if a roster revamp is in store. It will likely start with Greinke, who has can opt out of his six-year, $147 million contract this offseason.
5. The Mets were able to advance despite Matt Harvey only pitching once. A lot had been made in recent weeks about Harvey's rising innings count in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, but the Mets were able to advance while using Harvey for just five innings. With Syndergaard pitching on Thursday, Harvey will start Game 1 against the Cubs, thus bringing back the innings controversy should the Mets need him to take the hill for a second time in the series. They certainly have the depth to get by without him.
What's next: The Mets will host Game 1 of the best-of-seven NLCS against the Cubs on Saturday (8 p.m. ET, TBS). Left-hander Jon Lester (11-12, 3.34 ERA) will toe the rubber for the Cubs, who went 7-0 against the Mets in the regular season and outscored New>


Part 1 of the Covelo Cannabis Advocacy Group meeting with CordovaCann rep. Beau Milner — scroll down for Part 2.
COVELO, 11/18/18 — A major new cannabis company is coming to Covelo, and is near closing escrow on several properties worth $6.2 million, but this has spurred controversy and questions within the Covelo community and especially among local small cannabis farmers. Indeed, in the past week dozens of people have taken to Facebook to question, decry and gossip about the big corporate player, CordovaCann, a Canadian company, with American owners and a California LLC subsidiary.
In response the manager of the California subsidiary, CordovaCann CA, Beau Milner, agreed to meet with the Covelo Cannabis Advocacy Group's founder, Monique Ramirez, at the future site of their processing and extraction site, which is currently occupied by Covelo Machine and Tool Trade Company. Milner, who grew up in Covelo, then attend a lengthy community meet at the Round Valley Public Library, at which he fielded questions and attempted to explain the plans for the cannabis development — which include greenhouse cultivation, manufacturing, processing, distribution, and a third-party tissue culture and testing lab.
We attended and filmed the meeting and will have detailed coverage of the meeting, as well as CordovaCann, in the coming days, but for now, please enjoy these videos of the meeting. We apologize for posting these so late at night, we encountered variety of technical difficulties uploading the videos.
There are two videos. The first segment is is about 1 hour long and the second a half hour long. At times the camera is pointed at a wall instead of the speaker, this is because some people preferred not to be filmed, and to respect these wishes we only filmed half the room, though we recorded all the audio. Finally, we did not begin filming till about 5 minutes into the meet of the Covelo Cannabis Advocacy Group, and as such the beginning procedural matters of the meeting, as well as Ramirez's presentation about various policy matters, are not included.
