I am fascinated with watercolor paintings. When we met Darla Zook at the Harvest Festival at Silver Dollar City this fall, she was bubbling over with enthusiasm to share her love of watercolor. She truly exuded something Melinda and I discovered last year when we interviewed several crafters and that was a love of inspiring other people to be creative. In this post Melinda shared,
The people that are truly artists, people who really love what they do, seem to want to talk and share what they do. They want you to be inspired by their art. They teach others how to do what they do. They aren't afraid of you stealing their work because they know it takes creativity and hard work to make it happen. If you put in the time and effort, then you deserve success. People who are just trying to make money are afraid of inspiring you. They just want you to buy their stuff. I choose to create for the love of it. If I make some money off of it, that is great and helpful to my family, but if I can inspire someone to tap into their own creativity, then I have accomplished something even greater.
Darla took me from one painting to another in her booth telling me about different techniques she used in each painting and gave me tips to try using in my painting. She even told me I could come back another day (it was nearing the end of the day) and paint along with her at her booth. I told her I would love to learn from her but not sure I was ready to be painting publicly in her very prominent booth location!
Darla grew up on a farm in Oklahoma with a very musical family. Now with a family of her own she lives on a farm in Missouri. She received her degree in art and music education and taught art for many years in public schools before retiring to concentrate on her own art career. She has definitely retained her love of teaching others.
Her newest art endeavor is plein air painting. Plein air is a French phrase meaning "in the open air". She explained the unique challenges of this type of painting outdoors because of the constantly changing natural light on the subject of the painting.
Painting plein air is a recent endeavor which supports her artistic theory that the earth is a living, breathing sculpture created by the Master's hand. Every day has anticipation of light reflecting on surfaces as the sun rises over the horizon and sets in the west, making each day a unique work of art, a gift from God. Darla's desire is to illustrate that beauty in her art. ~from Darla Zook's website
This was Darla's 4th year at Silver Dollar Cit's fall Harvest Festival and if she is there next year, I just might be bold enough to take her up on the offer to spend some time painting with her at her booth. Visit her website and be inspired by her beautiful work and if you see something you like, make a purchase. She also does commissioned paintings and you can find a listing of galleries where her works can be seen. Visit DarlaZookArtist.com.

Respiratory distress syndrome, or RDS, in premature babies is one of the more common health problems caused by being born early. Immature lungs are the culprit in RDS, which causes difficulty breathing.

Your Premature Baby's Lungs

The working parts of the lungs are the alveoli, tiny sacs in the lungs that inflate with air when we breathe. Alveoli are covered with tiny blood vessels that carry oxygen from the air we breathe to the rest of the body.

In premature babies, the alveoli don't always work as well as they should. A chemical called surfactant usually keeps the alveoli open so that they fill easily with air and work efficiently. Babies don't have enough surfactant to keep their alveoli open until they are close to term. When the alveoli don't have enough surfactant, they collapse, and gas exchange cannot occur.

The lungs don't start to make surfactant until later in pregnancy, though, so preemies aren't able to keep their alveoli open as well as full-term babies. They have to work very hard to fill their alveoli when they breathe and don't get enough oxygen to their bodies. This condition is called respiratory distress syndrome, or RDS. To avoid this issue, doctors will often give very premature babies one or more doses of synthetic surfactant.

Your preemie is at higher risk of RDS if:

a sibling has been diagnosed with RDS

the baby's mother had gestational diabetes

the baby was delivered by caesarean section or was induced

labor was very rapid or was unusually difficult

the baby is one of multiples (twins, triplets, etc.)

Symptoms of RDS

Babies with RDS will have difficulty breathing. They may flare their nostrils when they breathe, breathe very fast (called tachypnea), look pale or slightly bluish-gray, make grunting or sighing sounds when they breathe or breathe so hard that you can see their ribs when they inhale.

To diagnose RDS, doctors may use one or more of several tests including a chest x-ray, a blood gas analysis, and/or a blood test to rule out infection or other issues.

How Is RDS treated?

Some cases of respiratory distress syndrome are quite mild, and others can be very serious. RDS is treated differently depending on severity. Treatment options include:

Time: A baby with mild RDS may receive no special treatment other than close monitoring for the first few days of life until the lungs start to make surfactant.

Respiratory support: Babies with moderate to severe RDS may need help breathing or oxygenating their blood. Respiratory support often comes in the form of a nasal cannula, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or mechanical ventilation.

Artificial surfactant: Babies with severe RDS can be given surfactant directly into their lungs, to help the lungs stay inflated while they mature.

Can RDS Be Prevented?

If premature delivery is unavoidable but not imminent, then steroids are given to the mother before delivery can help a baby's lungs to produce surfactant. Steroids work best when they are given between 24 hours and 7 days before birth, so they're not useful in every pregnancy.

Rammus Build
Jungle Role
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
[h=3]DUE TO THE RECENT CHANGES TO MASTERIES, THIS GUIDE WILL NEED AN UPDATE FOR MASTERIES. THE REST OF THE GUIDE IS STILL UP TO DATE, AND MASTERIES WILL BE UPDATED SOON! STAY TUNED! Thanks.[/h]
Hello. This is yet another guide by me, and now for the unique turtle, Rammus. Before we move on, I'd like to tell you some things.
- Please do not down-vote, flame or do any other negative action just because the cheat sheet is incorrect in your opinion, or lacks anything. I will suggest you make a comment on this, after your have checked the following things:
- Please check all the five builds. They all are for different situations, and I'll explain them all later in the guide. Please read that section first.
- Read the entire Items section. You might find the answer to your question there.
- Read the FAQ, and see if your question might be in there.
- This guide is my way of playing Rammus. I'm in no way telling you exactly the best was of playing Rammus. Several sections of this guide will explain the different uses of items in different situations. This is all personal preference.
- If there is something you dislike, please tell me so I can eventually correct it, or give you an answer to your question.
- When voting, please tell me WHY you up/down-voted. I'd like constructive critism very much, as I'm not a professional guidemaker or player of any kind.
- If you have a screenshot of a game you played you think is good, feel free to give me a link in the comments if you want me to add it.
- English is not my primary language, and I don't know it too well. There might be a few mistakes here and there, but I'd be really happy if you could comment and tell me where I eventually made the mistakes, for so me to correct them.
[h=3]Runes, Masteries and the original items in this guide (Yes, there are a big items section handling all the items in all the builds, but...) are after build ONE on the cheat sheet, which is the general build. Of course I will talk about the other builds, but for at least runes and masteries, it's for build one.[/h]
With that being said, it's time to move on to the guide. Thank you very much for reading above. "Mhm"
In case you don't understand a couple of abbreviations I use in this guide, here's a list of commonly used abbreviations:
Abbreviation - Definition
Armor - Armor
MR - Magic Resist
ArmPen - Armor Penetration
MagPen - Magic Penetration
AD - Attack Damage
AS - Attack Speed
AP - Ability Power
Hp5 - Health per 5 seconds
Mp5 - Mana per 5 seconds
CDR - Cooldown Reduction
CC - Crowd Control Effects (Disables)
CS - Creep Score
MS - Movement Speed
tl;dr - Too Long ; Didn't Read
IMO - In My Opinion
TBH - To Be Honest
ASAP - As Soon As Possible
Pull or Leash - Get a teammate to hit the target and go back to lane immediately
Let's get on with the guide, shall we? "Ok".
For the general build, the masteries are set as the follows:
So, basically this is my personal preferences. Some points can be swapped here and there, and yet today I don't know which is the best.Initiator etc can be very useful, however so is Honor Guard. Mercenary is another decent spell, I mean it will reward you with some good gold if you get 40 assists, huh?
30 assists:
Mercenary level 1: 240g
Mercenary level 2: 480g
Mercenary level 3: 720g
720g is something, and for only three mastery points. However, again, Veteran's Scars requires 5 mastery points, and so it goes on... It's up to you to decide, and just putting 30 points in there somewhere will make great difference :)
The rest is pretty much basic tank masteries, 0-21-9.
The jungle build isn't really very different;
Again, it's a wide selection of alternatives.Summoner's Resolve will grant you some bonus gold throughout the game, just like Mercenary again, as explained above. A very very useful mastery point for any jungler is the Runic Affinity. 20% longer buff duration is gold! Swiftness is good for moving faster... everywhere. The point placed in Summoner's Insight is for your Flash.
- Keep in mind that Initiator can be incredibly useful in some situations.
Rammus Jungle is now much better than before!
- Why is that?
Due to the new mastery, Bladed Armor. This stacks up with your Defensive Ball Curl, and will make a sweet difference. Your jungling will go faster, and all the red wraiths will now die while you attack the blue. (Well, you're probably too fast so you gotta auto-attack them anyway :)). Tough Skin and Indomitable will protect you nicely, granting you more surviability in the jungle.
A good choice for almost any jungler is Butcher. Some, like Rammus and Amumu are tanks, and will have much more benefits from the Defense Tree.
[h=2]Items (+Treads or Tabis!?)[/h] For the item section, I'm going to talk about the general build and the jungle build. The two others are very situational, and I will also explain situational items; when and where to get them.
[h=3]STARTING ITEMS[/h]
General: Regrowth Pendant, Health Potion
Physical: Cloth Armor, 5x Health Potion or 3x Health Potion and 2x Mana Potion
Magical: Null-Magic Mantle, 2x Health Potion
Make your support cv their base 5-15 sec after start.
General Build (#1)(#2)
- Regrowth Pendant
This item will give you extreme sustainability in the lane, aswell as later on build into Philosopher's Stone. It's amazing to have, and can let you stay in lane basically forever, as long as you don't risk too much. With your Defensive Ball Curl, this will make you never ever need to go back. I'm not telling you to NOT go back. No.
- Philosopher's Stone
Built from your starting item, this item is to be got early on. It'll reward you with 5 gold per 10 seconds, which will reward you in getting 30/1min, 300 gold each 10 minutes you have it. Keep it for 30 minutes and it'll give you more than it costed - and that's when you sell it. You only need the hp regen and mana regen on your way in the early game phase.
- Heart of Gold
Another gold per 5 item, which also gives you a small HP boost in the laning phase - sweet! Another sustainability item, great to have! With both this and your Philosopher's Stone, the amount of gold you gain per second is almost doubled! Wow. This item, however, won't be sold. It should build into Randuin's Omen later on.
- Mercury's Treads or Ninja Tabi
It's up to your opponents what you get. I'd like to get Mercury's Treads if they have 5+ strong cc's (stun, suppress, taunt) or like 6-7+ cc's including slow. I also get them if the opponent team is balanced AND have 3+ cc's. If you're facing a heavy AD team, or just heavily fed, and barely (5-) cc's, I'd go for Ninja Tabi.
- Guardian Angel
A great item which gives both Armor and MR, along with an amazing passive! This item tends to be gotten in late game, however getting it before is actually very rewarding. It's passive will always be 750 HP and 375 Mana, which will be worth more early game than late game! Therefore I use to get it earlier on, but it's all up to yourself. Before this, I do grab a Giant's Belt to get another small boost of HP on the way though.
- Sunfire Cape
Nice item, both armor and HP! A sweet passive, and doesn't cost way too much. I'd say its a nice item to get.
Note: If you need to sell an item, this is the one I'd go for. E.g. if you face a very heavy AD team and want to buy another Thornmail or so. This is the one I'd sell.
- Randuin's Omen
This item will give you an AOE slow to both attack and movement speeds, and if you use this while your Defensive Ball Curl is activated, it has an amazingly longer effect. This is built from your earlier gotten item, Heart of Gold.
- Warmog's Armor
Crazy HP boost. With the kind of ""minor"" stats you've gotten so far (not really HUGE boost - items), it will help great together with your Defensive Ball Curl. This is where you get at the point that HP items is worth more of your money than getting Armor/MR.
Note: This item can be extended and bought later instead.
- At this point, your Philosopher's Stone should be sold a bit ago.
Now, it's up to the opponent team what YOU need:
If you seem to need armor, get a Thornmail for sure! A freaking amazing passive (30%!!!!!!!) will TEAR down their AD carries, and with the sick Armor you'll get form activating Defensive Ball Curl, you'll be dealing more damage from Thornmail to them than they deal to you, lol.
If you seem to need MR, Force of Nature is for you. If neither, it can be anything you THINK you need. :)
- Thornmail
This item will give you a sick Armor boost. It's quite cheap also, so it can be an alternative to stacking, if you need LOADS of Armor.
- Force of Nature
Amazing regen, also gives a sweet MR boost. Buy/stack if you need MR.
- Frozen Heart
This item gives you an awesome armor boost, and mana. It has a 20% CD Reduction, along with screwing up the enemies' AD carries by lowering their AS by 20%!! That means that their AS will drop from 2.000 > 1.600! *Insert-Trollface-Here*. So basically, this item combined with Thornmail is just magnificent if you fight against a heavy AD team.
- Warmog's Armor
If you feel like you already have enough Armor and MR or the opponent's carries aren't way too fed, getting another Warmog's Armor would be a good investment.
[h=3]Situational Items[/h]
All builds (#1)(#2)(#3)(#4)
So, every game you play, the opponents characters and amount of feed will vary. This is why I made this section. Let's take a closer look on when to get which items!
- My opponents have really heavy AD damage.
Build 3.
An AD carry's worst enemy is definitely the Thornmail and Frozen Heart. None of them should be stacked, as both of them gives different bonuses along with great Armor. Therefore, getting one of each and a Warmog's Armor or another HP-yielding item would really do. You might also consider Randuin's Omen as an item, due to both Armor and HP, along with a small CD Reduction AND TWO AS slows. WHAT? Yes, because of the 20% chance on attacked to slow their carries AS, this will be activated. No doubt. Any AD carry should have a good attack speed, making this very likely to affect them. Not to mention you get an AOE slow which also slows their AS. With your Defensive Ball Curl on, you get a free +1.5sec with this slow, EXCLUDING your original armor and MR. This is incredible to Rammus.
tl;dr: Thornmail, Frozen Heart, Randuin's Omen, Warmog's Armor. Dem AD carries bees mad.
- The enemy has prodigiously high magic damage.
Build 4.
Unfortunately, there's no item similar to the marvellous Thornmail, which they imo should create. As Magic Damage usually are a bit bigger than Physical, they could make like returning 20% or 25% of the damage as Physical Damage.
So anyway, your core items in this situation would definitely be Banshee's Veil and Force of Nature. Both of those items will provide you with a sweet MR boost, along with other bonuses. Force of Nature will give you a pleasant HP Regen, and Banshee's Veil will give you an astonishing passive which removes a debuff every 60 seconds. Yes. Any stun, silence, fear... won't affect you. Note that this also blocks spells like Children of the Grave. After acquiring those two items, I would recommand getting any HP items, e.g. Warmog's Armor or Randuin's Omen. You might think, "Omen!? Why in this situation?". Well pretty basic - you need some armor to protect you anyway. It also adds to your AD, and gives great surviability with both its Passive and Active.
tl;dr: Banshee's Veil, Force of Nature, Warmog's Armor, Randuin's Omen. Dem AP casters bees mad.
- I'm facing an 100% balanced team. What do I build?
Both. Absolutely both. I recommend looking at Build 1, which is the standard. Guardian Angel is a flawless item for these cases. It provides you with both Armor and MR, along with a sweet passive which imo works better the earlier you can get it. Anyway, don't worry. Get Armor, MR and HP items and you should be fine. Your Defensive Ball Curl should do a huge amount of the job though, so getting HP would be your best bet here. Of course not just only HP, but mostly HP for sure.
[h=4]A list of situational items[/h]
- Aegis of the Legion
Really cheap cost for the bonuses it actually gives, and can really help your team. A good item when your team is squishier than usual, or you need a nice boost early on.
- Spirit Visage
Another pretty cheap item, gives a nice little MR along with some CD Reduction and a 15% increase to your regenerations. Combined with items like Force of Nature, you can get really strong.
- Warmog's Armor
Stacking? If really needed, then yes. This would be only when the enemy has like two really fed AD carries, and you already got yourself 400 armor with your Defensive Ball Curl. However, I think any tank should get this. This item might be considered pretty nooby, but I deny it. It gives really great health, and when it gets stacked up it gives you incredibly much health. Not to mention that it doesn't cost way too much either. Imo, this is a must.
- Thornmail or Frozen Heart?
I'd prefer both. However, if you only need one, I'd go for Thornmail which probably contains the best passive in the entire game. It will just tear down their AD carries along with your Defensive Ball Curl. Either of them is a must I must say, anyway. Atleast as long as you dont meet a full AP team. Let's just not for god's sake hope this happens to our dear LoL comrades...
The rest of the items are pretty straight forward or mandatory imo. If you have any suggestions, or if I left out anything, feel free to PM me or leave a comment.
[h=3]Do I get Mercury's Treads or Ninja Tabi? (After dodge removal)[/h]
This is, in fact, a large topic. Now as I write this pre-patch, I haven't tested the new Ninja Tabi yet. However, a 10% damage reduction from auto attacks would be GODLY against a heavy carry team.
I WILL update this as soon as I get to test them a bit. Please tell me what you think too in the comments.
I'd say the following (before testing):
If the enemy has strongly with auto-attackers... That is one-two fed, or three+ - get Ninja Tabi. A 10% reduction in addition to your armor (I do not know which one of those will apply first. Hopefully it will be Armor first, then the bonus) would strike their carries hard. They can't do **** to you now. Your were immortal before... Then what are you with an additional 10% reduction? Woah. What I'm pointing at here, is that it's an extremely strong item against AD carries especially.
To sum it up, if they have strong auto-attack damage, it's a brilliant item. I will update this sooner or later, please leave a comment on this if you have any input or opinions on this. Thanks.
Skill Sequence
Build 1#, 3#, 4#
|Ability Sequence
We'll start out withPowerball. We only need one point in this skill for the speed. You should basically always be spinning when not in lane. Afterwards get a point in Defensive Ball Curl for a great increase in your sustainability, thereafter maxing Puncturing Taunt asap. This is your main skill, and what makes Rammus an amazing butt-saver.
We want to get Defensive Ball Curl as second priority, excluding the ultimate which always should be gotten when it can be. Lastly just put your points in Powerball.
Skill Priority: Puncturing Taunt > Tremors > Defensive Ball Curl > Powerball.
Build #2
|Ability Sequence
Pretty much same as above, except for the starting phase. You want to put two points intoDefensive Ball Curl, as this is what makes you able to jungle. Always keep it active while fighting. Get Puncturing Taunt at level 4 for a gank, then max it asap.
Skill Priority: Puncturing Taunt > Tremors > Defensive Ball Curl > Powerball.
Summoner Spells
[h=2]Summoner Spells[/h] Alright, so this is the deal. I think Flash is a must. At least for myself. It has so incredibly many uses, and I just love it. Now, if you're going to lane, I think Teleport or maybe even Fortify would be your best bet. Personally I choose Teleport. As for jungling which I do most of the time, Smite is a must.
Some of Flash's uses are...
- Escaping
- Escaping though a wall
- Kiting
- If you get counterjungled
- Getting over creeps while in Powerball mode
- Which allows you to catch the enemy with Puncturing Taunt
- Saving a teammate
- In case of danger
...and that's only some.
Viable choices:
- Cleanse
I heard of this strategy once... Soft cc (things that can't stop you 100% but weaken your effectiveness; slow, silence etc). counts as one point - hard cc (stun, taunt, suppress) counts as two. If it passes X points, get the item/summoner spell. I think this was for Mercury's Treads but it can be used for Cleanse aswell. Let's put it 8 points? You can decide this, I normally don't use this spell tbh, unless I can see (draft pick) that they have a very heavy cc team. Keep in mind that you maybe want to get Mercury's Treads though, which has Tenacity (reduces cc durations). So, decide it yourself.
- Ghost
This is a summoner spell that is amazing for escaping enemies chasing you. This can save your life many times, or maybe even a turret for that matter. Combined with Powerball it can give you a magnificent speed.
The rest of the summoner spells are better not to be chosen by a tank imo.
In this section I will be explaining my choice of runes.
Hence that this is for build one.
Any rune could fit here. Marks doesn't give a good defensive bonus, so you should use what you have. If you have 9x Greater Mark of Fortitude, I'd suggest you use them. If not, anything else. These runes aren't too important for an tank.
Jungle: In the jungle, these runes are great. I'd suggest you to use Greater Mark of Alacrity, Greater Mark of Strength or Greater Mark of Desolation. These are runes that really help you out. Greater Mark of Fortitude is a decent choice aswell, imo.
Note that I don't encourage you to buy 9x Greater Mark of Fortitude. If you have them, they're better than Greater Mark of Insight. If not, go with the Greater Mark of Insight. The health bonus aren't too big, but it is something.
Seals are probably the most important runes for Rammus. All I can say is Greater Seal of Resilience. Armor, Armor Armor. Rammus gains AD from Armor, and Seals' biggest boost is Armor. You can choose for yourself wheter you want flats or pr.level, but I'd prefer flats myself. This is due to the great help it gives you in the jungle: 1.41 x 9 = 12.69. It gives you a whopping 12 armor bonus in both lane and jungle, and this will be 30 with your cloth armor, along with 6 from masteries which will give you 36. Rammus' base armor is 21, which will reward you in having a sick 57 armor to start off with!!! As you can see on the graph in the previous section, the physical damage dealt to you will be reduced by around 36%!!! This bonus is SICK early game, where spells doesn't do too much damage. Wow. No doubt here.
Jungle: Exactly the same. Insane surviability boost.
Remember that this will add to your AD aswell. 57 armor divided by 4 equals 14. That means an extra 14 AD for you.
As for glyphs, the best for Rammus to get would definitely be Greater Glyph of Warding or Greater Glyph of Shielding. This is really, really up to you, but you want to get MR for sure. Per level might be a good idea though, as these will kick in at level 7, and their effect will be bigger than the flats right there at level 7. By that time, peoples' spells aren't way too strong, and therefore I'd suppose that per levels would be the best.
Personal preference.
Greater Quintessence of Fortitude. Health quints are imo best, but it's up to you what you choose. Quints are good overall, and anything tanky would work. Greater Quintessence of Defence, Greater Quintessence of Warding etc. Nothing really much to say here for sure. It's all up to yourself. I just have to state that starting out with (26 x 3) = 78 more health will really help.
Greater Mark of Insight
Greater Seal of Resilience
Greater Glyph of Shielding
Greater Quintessence of Fortitude
Now, lets move on to the masteries I've chosen. "Ok".
the build
First of all, I will explain the cheat sheet builds.
But before that, I'd like you to know that the builds have a lot of items in them at the end, as the items you would get should really vary on the opposing team.
Build 1:
Build one is the general build. It's how you would build for a decent enemy team, usually consisting of around equal damage output of AD and AP. If the teams gets a little bit more unbalanced, I've added a bunch of other items you can get to satisfy you and your team.
Build 2:
Build two is the general Rammus jungle build. Rammus is a decent jungler, and it's quite easy to do. A video will be added later.
The runes of this build are a bit more specified to your job as a jungler, and so are the early-game items. The rest of the items are around the same as build two. Remember to adjust them after how well the enemies' AD or AP carries are doing.
Build 3:
This build is for if you're facing a very heavy AD team. It contains a bit of MR aswell, however it mainly focuses on getting Armor. Armor will also improve your AD, which is a great bonus. Remember to not always exactly follow this build. If the enemy's AD carry is fed, and you see the AP carry also has picked up a small bunch of kills, it might be smart to a little bit MR. Guardian's Angel should give you MR needed enough though, if the enemy's caster sucks.
Build 4:
The opposite of build three, is build four. This mainly focuses on heavy MR, with a little boost of Armor aswell. Remember that getting some Armor is great for Rammus, due to his passive. However if you find your enemy AP carry with a blowing 30/2/14, it's worth investing some money in a bunch of MR. Remember that the enemy might have an AD carry there too, having a potential damage ouput. Be aware.
General information
Common with all the builds, you will find health items as a key. Why, you ask? Well, as you probably already know, when you start stacking higher Armor and MR, the effects will just decay more and more until you get stuck at round 83%. You can't go much higher if you don't have six Thornmails and activate Defensive Ball Curl I guess. However, this shouldn't be done. You lose too much money.
Here's a nice graph for you:As you can see, around 400 is the limit. It flattens so much out that... well yes. The cap of Armor/MR you should get before you should stack health, is around 200-300.
Then, the question would be: But I have my Defensive Ball Curl, which gives me +150!!! Shouldn't I then just get 50 Armor and 50 MR then spam Warmogs???
No. Why? Simple. As said in the tips when playing against Rammus, his stats are slightly lower than any other tank when Defensive Ball Curl is deactivated. Along with any other abilities, it has a cooldown. And to cover the room between the cooldown and the activation of this spell we need Armor and MR. A fight will probably last longer than six seconds, and the cooldown of this spell is 14 seconds. That makes you very vulnerable within those eight seconds, and therefore getting Armor and MR is a must, like with any other tank. It's when Defensive Ball Curl is activated Rammus really shines. That's when he is amazing. When it's off, he's like any other tank, except that he is a turtle.
Really? Well, since I'm one of the nice turtles, I'll give you the short story.
Use build one/two for general games. If the opponent team is quite balanced, I'd recommend one of those. Notice that it's up to you what you buy late game though.
If you're facing a heavy AD opponent team, go for build three. It also builds a little MR of course. However if you're facing a strong MR team, go for build four. Build four also builds a bit armor.
jungle rammus
The new jungle
Looks like Rammus still can do his old route. He's still capable of completing the whole jungle, clearing all the camps, before going back. Another possible route would now be going Double Golems first, however I think that the Blue Buff route is working better. It makes you able to spam your skills by both basically unlimited mana and 22.5% CDR. Thereby you can Powerball whereever you are.
Rammus Jungle has been extremely improved from the latest patch imo. The mastery change patch. Bladed Armor makes his Defensive Ball Curl even stronger. Those two combined is incredibly strong. Now, I tried a few other starting items in the jungle. Still, it seems like Cloth Armor is the best item to start out with, along with Health Potion x5. This gives Defensive Ball Curl a boost, and adds to your AD aswell. E.g. Ruby Crystal or Doran's Shield gives you some great boosts to easily survive soloing Blue Buff, however leaves you without any Health Potions, making you die at either Wraiths or Double Golems. With Cloth Armor and 5x Health Potion, you are able to complete the route with two potions left. These should be used though, making you able to gank straight after red buff. And all this without any runes (Maybe 1 hp pot left without runes). SOLO blue.
This allows for an early gank for your team, hopefully bringing you in the lead. A great start.
Now, the best route would be the following;
Grab Cloth Armor and 5x Health Potion and head to Blue Buff place. Find a nice bush to scout from, and ask your team for protection. Let's assume there were no invasions. Head to the Blue Golem and ask for a pull. You should get it, but if your team is doucebags then solo it. From now on, you can still kick *** by soloing it. Smite at around 445 HP.
After acquiring Blue Buff, put a point in Powerball and drive to the wolves. At the end of wolves, you can either use Powerball to deal some quick damage and make them hop back (immediately after autoattack), or kill them with auto attacks and drive on to Wraiths instead, for quicker movement. Atm, I don't know which way is the quickest. However you'll save 30 HP by doing the first.
Wraiths is gold as Rammus, as from now, both Defensive Ball Curl and Bladed Armor will kill all of the three red wraiths automatically, so therefore all you need to do is attack the blue wraith. By the time you finished the blue, the reds should already be dead. Move on to red buff.
Q: Why Red Buff before Double Golems?
A: First off, there's no risk to take. You will manage to kill both for sure. Also, Double Golems will go down quicker if you already have the Red Buff.
Though, make sure you have Smite below 15-20 sec cooldown to complete Red. If you have it above, it might be smart to go Double Golems first. Some times you're just too fast. :)
Move on to either of the ones you haven't killed yet (Red/Golems), and kill them. Make sure you always keep a potion up, except for when at wolves though. Anyway, you SHOULD have enough hp to gank (I'd say 50-60%+) if you count in the amount of HP restored from potions within you reach the lane. If not, you failed. Assuming you have, go gank now.
Hopefully the gank was successful, and you can now recall, Boots of Speed and eventually Heart of Gold, depending on how much gold you got from ganking yet.
Move on to wolves>wraiths>golems>gank>blue>............... Gank WHENEVER there's an opportunity; Low HP enemies, lane pushed too far (by them) etc.
- As long as you have Blue Buff, Powerball should be used at all times available for sick movement speed around the map.
- After the first or second blue, try to give it to your AP carry if possible. If you can do this without messing up too much for yourself, your AP carry will get a SIGNIFICANT advantage over its opponent in an iron grip.
- Rammus is extreme at ganking. Getting Guardian Angel early can help you towerdive aswell. The tower will cancel shooting at you while you're reviving, breaking its extra-damage chain. If you have creeps or an ally at the tower, it will attack them aswell.
- A nice strategy to use when ganking is loading up Powerball in a bush, drive in at maybe 50% of its duration, eventually use Flash to hop over minions (if you're really in for the kill) too.
- Your standard ganking combo would be Powerball, Puncturing Taunt > Immediately Defensive Ball Curl > Tremors.
- OH NO! I GOT THE KILl! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT IM SUCH A BAD TANK.
No. No. Your ally/allies DID get an assist, and it's something. Though it would be preferred that you give the kills to your carry, it ain't armageddon ;)

Organizations mentioned/involved: Legal Services for Prisoners with Children (LSPC)
Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, along with two plaintiffs who are currently incarcerated, have filed a class-action lawsuit against Shasta County Jail, alleging that the institution discriminates against people with disabilities. The lawsuit cites the facilities' sub par conditions for inmates with disabilities. Many parts of the jail are not ADA-compliant and it appears the jail has been aware of it for the past ten years.
Advocates say that people with "mobility disabilities face myriad discriminatory conditions and physical barriers" in the jail. This excludes them from beneficial programs in the jail, including religious services.

Baystate Franklin nurses stage one-day strike
GREENFIELD, MASS. -- The 209 nurses of Baystate Franklin Medical Center will conduct a one-day strike today after a negotiating session held Oct. 3 broke down without a settlement.
Nurses have called for the strike in response to Baystate Health System's unfair labor practices, as well as to their demands for unreasonable concessions from the nurses, including proposals that will strip them of key union rights, will increase the dangerous use of overtime to staff the hospital and will discipline nurses for using legitimate sick time, thus forcing them to care for patients when they are ill.
"Baystate has taken some very radical positions that would be harmful to quality patient care and they continue to demand concessions from the nurses that would cost the nurses thousands of dollars and deeply cut into their ability to negotiate over wages and health insurance. In order to protect the quality of our patient care and the integrity of our union contract we had to call a strike," said Donna Stern, RN and co-chair of the bargaining committee.
"In the last 10 years I have seen Baystate come into our community hospital and try to strip us of any caring and humanity," said Linda Judd, RN, who has worked at Baystate Franklin Medical Center for more than 30 years and is co-chair of the bargaining committee. "They have little concern for the Franklin County area."
Nurses will gather outside Baystate Franklin Medical Center to conduct strike picketing at 164 High Street, starting at 7 a.m. They will picket for 24 hours and will be prepared to re-enter the hospital on Oct. 6 at 7 a.m. to resume care of patients.

Work on installing a new floor in the Taunton High School field house is progressing after building officials believe they've located the cause of recent flooding inside the school.
Work on installing a new floor in the Taunton High School field house is progressing after building officials believe they've located the cause of recent flooding inside the school.
"We think we've found the smoking gun," Taunton Building Superintendent Wayne Walkden said.
When contractors sent a radio-controlled camera into the school's drainage pipes, they discovered a brass cover and ballast stones lodged inside a pipe six feet underneath the school. That blockage, Walkden said, likely caused a pressure build-up and flooding earlier in the year. The flooding impacted the lobby outside the field house and other surrounding areas.
"Water would actually hit the ceiling," maintenance supervisor Keith Cwiekowski said, recalling an incident earlier this year when water erupted from a floor drain in the field house lobby.
Work on the new hardwood gym floor had been on hold until workers got a handle on the flooding.
"Our concern was that if any of this water got in the gym, the floor would buckle," Walkden said.
Workers now plan to install a 3-inch-tall ramp in the field house lobby leading away from the gym floor. Work on installing the plywood under layer in the gym is currently underway.
"If we felt there was any chance of that floor being ruined, we would not do this right now," he said.
Walkden said contractors and the city are confident that they will be able to remove the blockage from the drainage pipe without tearing up the floor inside the newly renovated high school. They plan to dig down to the pipe outside of the building, then use pressure to suck out the debris blocking the pipe.
Walkden said the $112 million high school renovation project is on budget, although part of the cost of the gym floor does not fall under the budget because the School Committee decided to go with and upgrade over what was initially included in the contract.
Original plans called for a synthetic surface in the field house, but the School Committee voted in June to spend $200,000 to upgrade the floor to hardwood, which school officials said would be safer and last longer. The track surrounding the floor will still be synthetic.
The extra expense, school officials said, is being covered by the athletics revolving account.

Interesting changes are coming to gambling advertising in the UK, and this could affect Canadians in the future.
In the United Kingdom, there have been a lot of changes happening in the online gambling world particularly regarding the advertising side of things. To keep ahead of government-mandated regulations, many operators have banded together to make agreements with each other to stop certain types of advertising. Along these lines, there are four major operators who have decided to come together and stop television advertisements during certain times for no deposit bonuses which are typically portrayed as free money when a player signs up for an account.
The United Kingdom's Gambling Commission has been pushing new standards for licensing as a sweeping measure for what they're calling their social responsibility agenda. To stay ahead of these standards, many operators have been forming partnerships to adhere to their own advanced standards. The idea is that the industry can police itself better than he government can, and they feel like the less government interference, the better. Overall, it's not clear if this strategy is working since there hasn't been enough time to tell.
For Canadian players, you'll probably notice that the ads you see are usually based around a different approach since they can't advertise for real money games. Known as the ".net" revolution, around 2007 or 2008, operators formed play money-only versions of their sites that end in ".net" that they can advertise. It's effectively advertising for the paid games since everyone knows that the idea is just to get the brand out there, but this same approach is used in many other areas of the world like the United States as well.
Generally speaking, the Canadian government could put an end to this type of advertising in the future if they took a more straight-forward approach to regulating the industry. Instead, they allow the provinces to make their own rules with their own gambling commissions, so there aren't any unified rules for the country as a whole. While some people see this as a bad thing, one good piece of news is that it makes it easier for players to have access to a wider range of gambling experiences.

Santa Cruz pet photographer at the SPCA
Santa Cruz pet photographer at the SPCA
I try to go about once a month to the Santa Cruz SPCA to photograph the animals. Pet photography can be very rewarding and fun. The dogs (and cats) who have a good photo are more likely to attract people to come visit them and to adopt them. Here are some fun photos from today's photo shoot.
There were 5 in this litter, named after tropical islands, we only managed to get 4 in the group shot. The leftmost one was the smallest of the litter, her name is "Maui", she is super cute, and did a lot of singing! When I talked to her, she tilted her head for the last photo here. I am sure she will get a home real soon.

Brian Tramuel helms this series. He lives with his wife Michelle, their children Geneva and Brian, and their Cocker Spaniel Maestro in Charlotte, NC. They, along with his two older children from a previous marriage, Davina and Aaron, provide a constant source of inspiration. Aaron lives, works and plays in Charlotte and Davina lives, works and plays in Roanoke, VA.
I'm generally conscious of the service I receive while out; restaurants, retail stores, the gym and the grocery store to name a few of the places I frequent. No matter what environment I'm in, I often observe how the fast-food worker, bus driver, nurse or anyone providing a service and/or selling a product interacts with me and other consumers. Some do it well and are consistent, while others fail at simply offering a salutation or a well wish.
My personal vexations are acknowledgment and appreciation; two very important customer service skills that every employee should master if they are in a customer facing environment. I've had a number of bad experiences where rather than asking for a manager to register a complaint, I simply chose not to return. A recent negative experience sparked a conversation with peers where they shared their point of view, and it led to a debate about (1) raising the minimum wage above the current rate and (2) if $12-$15 per hour is warranted for every industry.
"Don't give advice, suggest options."
The conversation shifted in and out of points and counterpoints.
Society Socks – Good Customer Service
Point — it could hurt low skilled workers. Counterpoint — workers should look to improve their skill set, whether it is helping customers, food preparation, or other vocational training. Point — wages for jobs that require advanced training should not be on par with one that requires less sophisticated skills. Counterpoint — workers will get left behind by those willing to invest in improving their skills.
The debate seems to be part of a larger conversation about how technology is integrating more and more into our lives. Banks use mobile image depositing, reducing the need for banking centers and tellers. Casual theme restaurants and fast food chains are using electronic keypads for order entry, reducing the need for servers and cashiers.
I believe we all agree, no matter what side of the debate you're on, everyone desires an adequate, livable and respectable wage for employment offered, business services offered or art created.
I Am.

I'm still on my little running vacation. A welcome time off from the past marathon training. If it wasn't for a grumbling hamstring and sore hips, I'd probably still be pushing the miles upward of 35 per week during off season. Right now, I don't think I've been running 25.
The little hiatus is needed. It has helped. I've been cross training and doing more stretching, incorporating yoga into a few workout routines. The later morning wake up alarm is nice. A little more sleep, a little more relaxing, a little more enjoying foods/drinks I'd normally pass up when training.
The body needs a break now and then. I just hope that come the end of this month mentally and physically I'm ready to start up again. I've got a full schedule for 2014. Maybe a couple of half marathons, four full marathons that will take me from Boston to Tacoma to Portland and back to New York City. A 10K, a 15K and who knows what else. Based on my race goals, this body better be fit and functional when I start running again.
But now, it's time for COOKIES!
The TLC cookie might look like an oatmeal cookie. It is! It's an oatmeal cookie for people who don't like dried fruit aka raisins in their cookies.
The recipe will make about 2 dozen standard cookies.
- 1 cup + 1 1/2 TBS all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup + 1 1/2 TBS dark brown sugar
- 1/2 + 3 1/2 TBS granulated sugar
- 1 stick + 3 1/2 TBS Unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 medium eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 3/4 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- 1 cup nuts and/or seeds: I used chopped pecans, peanuts, and roasted sunflower seeds.
Use your standing mixer for this recipe.
Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, together. Set aside.
Mix the brown and granular sugar together and set aside.
Beat the butter until creamed (consistency of mayonnaise). Add the sugars, and vanilla and beat another 4 minutes.
Scrape down the mixer bowl sides and add eggs, mixing on low for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides and add the flour mixture in 2 additions: add 1/2, mix on low for 15 seconds then add the rest of it.
Scrape down the mixer bowl sides and then pulse in the oats, about 10 pulses. Add the nuts/seeds and pulse to incorporate. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 325 F. *Note that convection ovens, using the same temperature setting will allow a more even browning of the cookie.
Line baking sheets with parchment, divide dough into 2 dozen standard size cookie balls, bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. They are best eaten the day they are made.
Personally, I like the raisins. The entire enjoyment I get out of a cookie is it's raisins but the nuts add a little something unexpected in this one. For a change of pace, this is a winner.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
If you come across a really good bakery in your travels, do you check to see if they have a cook book so you can recreate their recipes?

Recent MTA events
Mrs Mari Blackwell MBE has now retired as chairman of the MTA and as front of house co-ordinator. Her constant presence will be very much missed as she has been an integral part of Malvern Theatres since 1964.
Jean Kemp was elected at the 2015 Annual General Meeting to serve as chairman in her place. Her first duty as chairman was to pay tribute to Mari and to present her with a cheque made up of donations collected from MTA & MTP members and the President of the MTA, Mr Clive Richards.
The front of house volunteers will be provided as usual under the stewardship of Joy Morrow and Liz Green, with the supervision of the theatre management. Our sincere thanks go to them for taking on the mammoth task of doing the rota.
Three fund raising events have been held recently. One was another afternoon tea-party held very kindly by Angela Priddey . A coffee morning was then held on the Blackwell Terrace in the Theatre in September. The last fund-raising event of 2015 was a mulled wine and mince-pie evening held in the Circle Bar in December. We had entertainment generously provided by the Elderly Brothers, a talented trio of musicians well-known to the local community.
All these events were very well supported and thanks go to everyone who helped us to raise the money that enabled us to make a donation of £4,500 to the Theatre to pay for the electrical distribution board for the dimming of the lighting in the Festival Theatre.
A special coffee morning was held on 30 January to mark the retirement from active duties of Nene and Eric Smith and Joan Fowler with a combined 150 years of loyal service to Malvern Theatres in many capacities. They have all been wonderfully reliable and supportive over these many years and will be very much missed. Our sincere thanks and appreciation go to them .
At a recent committee meeting in this, the Malvern Theatre Association's Golden Jubilee Year, it was agreed unanimously that a sum of £10,000 should be donated towards the new seating for the Festival Theatre.
On Monday 3rd November 2014, our Chairman Mrs. Mari Blackwell MBE presented the Chief Executive Mr. Nic Lloyd with a cheque for £9,000.
The outstanding £1,000 is to follow after further fundraising by the MTA during the next 12 months.
As a further celebration of the Malvern Theatre Association's Golden Jubilee a Garden Party was held at Lower Hope, the home of the Association's President Clive Richards and his wife Sylvia.
As part of this celebration tea and cakes were enjoyed by all, and generously provided by our President.
In spite of a heavy downpour of rain just before 2.pm (the scheduled start time) the weather was not too unkind and everyone enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon, taking in the pleasures of an interesting, and beautifully cared-for, mature garden.
As a result of this successful event a sum of £460 was added to the MTA funds to support the theatre.

As part of the 50th celebrations of the MTA, Angela Priddey hosted an Afternoon Tea Party at her home on the 17th July 2014.
The event was well attended and blessed with beautiful weather enabling those present to appreciate the lovely garden.
This successful event raised over £400 towards theatre funds.
The splendid celebration cake was made by Angela's cousin, Ann and was enjoyed by all.
Malvern Theatres Association
The Malvern Theatre Association (MTA) was founded in 1964 for the support of the Malvern Festival Theatre, which at that time was having problems and was under threat of closure. Since then, the association has played an important role in the support and maintenance of the theatres.
Member events and activities, both social and fund-raising, have altered over the years to meet the changing needs of the Theatre. Computers and staff now do tasks that were once the province of volunteer members: no longer does a merry band gather to chat and stuff hundreds of brochures into envelopes!
One of the key contributions the Association makes is the provision of volunteer staff for front-of-house duties, saving many thousands of pounds every year. Fundraising has enabled the MTA and the former MTA Club to donate many thousands of pounds for equipment throughout the building. The Club also gifted the large wall clock that can be seen above the bar and foyer area; this was commissioned from silversmith and clockmaker Marianne Forrest.
Since the building reopened after a massive refurbishment, the MTA has given in excess of £50,000 towards lighting and communications equipment, a hearing system, furniture, and new heating. In 1997 the Club gave over £30,000 to the Redevelopment Appeal.
MTA fundraising allowed handrails to be fitted up the stairs in the Theatre Circle; a rear exit door to be converted for use in winter, to save heat-loss from the foyer and lots of other projects and equipment – unseen and unsung, but vitally important for the Theatres.
Money is raised through membership subscriptions, a 100 Club, coffee mornings and social events throughout the year. There are currently around 300 members and new additions are always welcome.
Members do not have to pay the 12% booking fee. They receive a newsletter three times a year with information about social and fundraising events, including several outings each year to other venues. Membership of the Association is a pre-requisite for members of the Malvern Theatre Players, the resident amateur company, which mounts regular productions.
Coffee Mornings
Most Saturday mornings throughout the year, you will find MTA members and friends in the Circle Bar, socialising, arranging their Front-of-House duties and always fund-raising, £1 at a time but every £1 helps. There are occasional special events – perhaps in someone's home or on the Blackwell Terrace. For 'Special' think home-made cakes and some fun fund-raising with prizes. The 'Specials' will be advertised on the MTA noticeboard in the foyer. Regular events are 10.30 until noon on Saturdays. You are always welcome to join us for a coffee and a chat.

Up to week 2 on ROW 80. I am a freelance developer, which means work comes in waves. I had a long time free to work on writing and this week started in with projects again. I enjoy projects, but it means shifting time again and figuring out where writing fits. I think I am doing well with it so far.
Sunday: 1100 words written on blog posts Hamburg Speicherstadt and a post that will go up on Displaced Nation later this week.
Monday: nothing
Tuesday: 1 hour of editing and 250words written
Wednesday: 1200 words written and 15 minutes of editing
So I am on track for the week. A shame that most of the words written were not on my mainline novellas. I had originally thought I would not count blogging in my "words written", but now I will. Today I wrote a fair amount, but on a different story. I seem to keep opening up projects when I need to be finishing them. This one is a set of short stories based on the Story Prompts at SelfPublishingPodcast and around the early life of one of Crossing the Dropline's main characters, Jason.
Overall I am finding my creativity again. I spent a few hours reading an awesome webcomic with talking animals call Beyond the Western Deep. I like the storytelling in it. Hoping to learn from everywhere. The rest of the week may end up being a wash. We have guests for Easter weekend, but we shall see. It may be a good time to ruminate.
Remaining: 3.75 hours of editing and 2700 words to write.

Michelle Obama – Does She Wear Dimension eleven Shoes?
michelle obama, the brand new Initially Girl with the America of The usa is surely an inspiration to American ladies. She's an incredible position product for young gals just about everywhere. Stay-at-home moms, working ladies, faculty graduates and CEO's, are inextricably tied to Michelle. On January 21, 2009, we viewed this outstanding woman maintain Lincoln's bible as she took her spot in background beside her husband now President, Barack Obama. The united states has fallen in appreciate using this type of amazing, wife, mom and neighborhood activist. Her coronary heart is comprehensive compassion for individuals of each nationality and race.
She's a going for walks fashion statement for this technology for tall, full-footed gals all-around the earth. On Inauguration evening, she was putting. She debuted a chic one-shoulder robe by Taipei-born designer, Jason Wu. The first lady's robe was product of silk chiffon embellished with organza and Swarovski crystal rhinestones and silver thread embroidery. Over the swearing-in ceremony, previously that morning, she wore a traditional "lemongrass" ensemble made by Isabel Toledo. Tall women of all ages around the world held their heads somewhat greater, but I am certain they were wanting to guess the dimensions of her ft. I believe I'm able to say this with some authority. Most girls who don size eleven and up have a tendency to test to guess the shoe measurement of other full-footed gals. Very well, I confess. I do.
Now individuals of us who use large-size sneakers are surely curious of your 1st lady's shoe dimensions. I suspect she's a measurement eleven or twelve. The main lady wore a set of inexperienced Jimmy Choo pumps in conjunction with her Isabel Toledo ensemble. Not surprisingly, people of us who don dimension 10 and up are aware that Jimmy Choo has selected variations out there in dimensions 11. It is really probable that she wears a dimension 10. I might really enjoy to find out. I already experience a kinship with Michelle Obama. She simply just makes me proud . I also believe that we've got a little something in frequent – dimension eleven feet. Now, wouldn't that be anything. Nearly anything can be done!

Categories: General Date: Jun 16, 2010 Title: Oliver Leads The Way at O'Reilly Raceway Park
Dillon's dominate performance in the Sunoco National Tour event is again cut short by rain.
With a last minute decision to allow ABC body late models to compete with the new Camaro and Mustang bodies, Dillon Oliver buckled down, got to work, and made a late arrival at the ORP race on June 12 to run with what was titled the ASALMS Challenge Series in 2009. Despite a depleted selection of tires and limited practice time, Oliver and his crew (Rob Sanders, Jeremy WIlbert, Sean Brincefield) worked hard and made the #33 hard to ignore. Oliver nearly set fast time in qualifying only to be bumped slightly by hometown favorite Brent Downey. When the inversion factored in Oliver would be starting in the 8th position. With weather threatening to shorten the event, Oliver wasted no time making his way through traffic when a three wide pass for the lead put Dillon up front only 23 laps into the race. Needing 101 of the 200 laps to be complete for the show to be official, Oliver led 60 consecutive laps and stretched his lead to an entire straight away before rain once again interfered with a dominating performance. Again the rain refused to stop and the race was called. With less than the required laps in the books, victory had evaded the #33. With two consecutive races ending before the halfway point, Oliver was faced with only one choice, roll the fastest car by far into the trailer and look ahead to the next potential weekend to get the family funded car on the track.

Defend the Dream Action
Republicans in Congress are holding the middle class hostage – proposing a federal budget that would would cut 700,000 to 1 million jobs from our communities and slash funding to support preschool and college students, pregnant women, unemployed workers, and much more. This isn't a budget, it's a slap in the face to the public workers, services, and institutions making the American Dream possible. We have until the March 18 budget deadline to push Congress in another direction.
So after work on Tuesday, March 15, we're mobilizing Defend the Dream events in all 50 states at our schools, libraries, fire stations, hospitals, and parks to stand up against Republican attacks. If we can mobilize thousands of people again for a national day of action before the March 18 deadline, we'll give progressive fighters in Congress a better chance to stave off cuts and pass a budget that invests in the Dream. We'll show our support for the public workers, services, and institutions making a difference in our lives but we'll also make sure that Congress knows we'll hold them accountable for their vote.
You can sign up for the Defend the Dream Action:
TUE.MAR.15, 5:30pm
Defend The Dream
Hennepin County Government Center
300 South 6th St, North Plaza

Discussion in 'Macintosh' started by jileiwin, Sep 11, 2003.
Any way to make Safari 1.0 work on Windows xp?Thanx!
dont think so. its designed with mac compatibility only. try mac emulator if you really want to use it.
Yup; software made for the Macintosh Platform is 100% incompatible with x86 (PC) platforms.
The only thing they can share is documents if the software was designed to make them cross compatible.
If your looking for an excellent browser on the PC platform, give Mozilla: Firebird a try
Have a good one!

This month we have some great things planned at Boulder Swing Dance! We start the month off with some great music by Jeremy Mohney and his band on Monday, May 4th. We will also be starting up a new cycle of classes including our level 1 beginner series (8-9PM). It is the perfect time to start learning Lindy Hop!
This month we will be focusing on our Charleston in Level 2 (7-8PM). Get ready to learn some awesome side-by-side and tandem Charleston moves.
In Level 3 (7-8PM) we will be working on fast dancing and improving our basic six count and eight count movements. We will be using the first part of the California routine as a platform to explore how to move our bodies more efficiently in order to dance to faster music, as well as how to clearly differentiate between linear and circular movements.
In the specialty series (8-9PM) we will be focusing on spins, turns, and tricks. Often turning and spins are two things that give both leaders and followers trouble. Ceth and Lauren will help you polish and hone these skills. They will also throw in some of their favorite tricks that can be socially led. Spice up your dancing!

Hi everyone, I am 20 years old and have been working in customer services for the last 5 years, but I have decided to pursue a career in IT as I have always enjoyed working around computers and believe I could get alot of fulfillment from it. I am interested in becoming a systems administrator, down the line but I have no qualifications or experience in IT, although I wouldn't say I am a complete beginner- I have build my own Pc from scratch with help from on-line guides, and would say I have a good knowledge of XP OS, All in All I would say I am an Intermediate-advanced home user. After advice from a friend of a friend I started looking at doing an MCSA course (I wouldn't do a self course as I need stuctured enviroment) but after looking through this forum I'm unsure if This is the right course to start on? Maybe it would be better to do a lower course such as A+/N+ and if I did could one of these courses open the doors to an entry level IT job so I can start getting hands on experience before I start the MCSA? Please reply
