->''"When the matter of the flying werewolf first surfaced in UsefulNotes/WashingtonDC, I never once thought of the dinosaurs."''
When Jack Valone, a hard-drinking, down-on-his-luck science journalist well past his Pulitzer Prize days, gets a phone call from a geneticist promising the "scoop of the century", he's curious but more than a little skeptical. But when he goes to do the interview, he arrives in the middle of perhaps the weirdest crime scene investigation of all time. His subject is missing, the room is covered in his blood, and the perpetrator appears to be... a flying werewolf? Soon Valone is pursuing a shadowy group of geneticists working far, far beyond the bleeding edge of genetics and technology. It's the story of a lifetime... IF he can survive long enough to publish.
A re-envisioning of the underlying concepts --if not the actual plot--of Creator/HGWells' ''Literature/TheIslandOfDoctorMoreau'' in the light of the dawning age of genetic engineering, ''The Moreau Factor'' is the last non-serial novel of noted 20th-century speculative fiction writer Creator/JackChalker. The book represents something of return to form for Chalker, with a tighter plot and harder science than some of his lengthier efforts. Well worth the read, if you can find a copy.
Contains examples of:
* AuthorAppeal: Chalker, remember? But it is never gratuitous and never gets in the way of the story.
* BalefulPolymorph: Via SlowTransformation
* BodyHorror: Averted despite the setup.
* EvilutionaryBiologist
* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke
* GenderBender: Not so prominent as in some Chalker books, but addressed to the extent that it is implicit in the subject matter. [[note]]Valone is the rare Chalker hero who escapes with his balls intact.[[/note]] The only explicitly gender bent characters are all turned into hermaphrodites.
* HalfHumanHybrids: Artifically crafted ones, at that.
* HappinessInSlavery: The "Puff Girls", an entire species of genetically engineered hermaphroditic lab assistants with a very odd semi-inorganic metabolism that gives them near-total immunity to virtually all toxic substances and biohazards. They're perfectly happy as long as you give them something to do and let them have babies.
* {{Hermaphrodite}}: Several species of them, largely by accident due to pleiotropy.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The scientists were forced to become their own creations.
* HumansAreBastards: Played with. [[TheManBehindTheMan The shadowy conspiracy behind Project Moreau]] are all bastards, and their victims are worried that the rest of humanity will align themselves with the bastards out of fear if news of their existence leaks.
* InnocentFanServiceGirl: The Puff Girls again. Clothing would get contaminated and wouldn't provide more protection than their skin. Innocent in that humans hold no attraction for them.
* KarmicTransformation: The {{Evilutionary Biologist}}s claim they were forced to become their own creations by their shadowy employers, ostensibly as a way to keep them under control.
* LegoGenetics: Specifically averted within the story itself, with a thorough explanation of how pleiotropy makes it impossible.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Including species of FishPeople, humanoid dolphins, and hermaphroditic frog women.
* PettingZooPeople: They include a few no one would want to see.
* PhlebotinumRebel and {{Phlebotinum}} counter-revolutionaries as well
* SecondLawOfGenderBending: More of a case of the second law of transformation: The organization specifically recruits people who would be intrigued by the prospect and uses mind control to enforce the rest.
* SlowTransformation: transformation via actual biological processes takes months to accomplish
* TranshumanTreachery / ProHumanTranshuman: Many of the Transformed have turned their backs on humanity but some have not, through their internal conflict isn't about saving humanity so much as which approach offers the best survival strategy for their own species.
* TheUnfettered: Dr. Foo will allow nothing to interfere with her experiments on humans.
* WhatMeasureIsANonSuper / WhatMeasureIsANonhuman: Debated within the story itself.
* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: Some of the hybrids are... less attractive... than others. It is explicitly noted that may have implications for their future survival.

The Financial Times - The Careerist: Working with a role model
The Financial Times: Careerest - Working with a Role Model
Financial Times
By Rhymer Rigby
We are often told we should have role models and heroes at work. But is it really a good thing to work for someone who you greatly admire?
What are the positives?
Given that the single biggest reason people leave their jobs is a bad boss, there are definitely upsides to having a manager you admire. "It's a better place to be than with someone you hate," says Ceri Roderick of business psychologists Pearn Kandola.
Executive coach Geraldine Gallacher adds: "It's not often you meet someone you admire in business, and it is much more pleasant and less draining than spending your time being frustrated by your boss's incompetence."
What do I need to watch out for?
"The most obvious potential risk is that you won't challenge their views sufficiently," says Ms Gallacher. Being overly agreeable can result in you being seen as a "yes person" who lacks integrity and backbone. This can lead to your fortunes being too bound up with those of one other person.
"The easy thing to do is to preserve the relationship at all costs," says Mr Roderick. "In the short and medium term, this can lead to good outcomes. But in the long run, it isn't good for either partner. If it all goes wrong, the boss will turn round and say: 'Why didn't you tell me?' Careers derail because people are afraid to give bad news and allow the other person to make mistakes."
Ms Gallacher notes that being in thrall to your boss can also undermine you: "Admiring the person you work for can be confidence sapping because you never quite feel on top of things."
She notes that we occasionally need the thrill that comes from outsmarting our managers.
How can you tell if your admiration is misplaced?
Ms Gallacher suggests the following: "Imagine their perspective on a topic coming from another colleague." Then, ask yourself whether you'd rate it as highly. "If the idea's appeal plummets then you may well be overly deferential."
Look at your colleagues too. Do they admire this person? Michael Crom, executive vice-president of Dale Carnegie Training, says: "You should ask yourself what you admire in people and try and understand what it says about you."
You may be admiring things such as superficial charisma and easy charm, rather than intellect or work ethic.
What can I do to guard against admiration overload?
"Get to know them at a deeper level as we often admire what people project rather than what they really are," says Mr Crom. He notes that working in stressful situations with people can help humanise them. "When you put in long hours, you see the good and the bad."
Although speaking truth to power can be very difficult, it often leads to the person in question respecting you more. "A number of very admirable, charismatic people are often borderline narcissists," says Mr Roderick. "But they need people who'll tell them when they're wrong and be blunt and objective – and these people stand out and are valued."

When people talk about wanting a 1911 but are on a budget the name American Tactical Imports (ATI) gets spat out so fast you'd swear they said Rock Island Armory (RIA). Well, actually, that's because that is what they said. Most people just up and suggest RIA because it's a company and a brand that people have really come to trust in the handgun world.
But there are a handful of other companies that offer fine 1911s in the same price range, and ATI is one of them. Their FX45 (Firepower Xtreme) series of 1911s is starting to cause ripples in the pool of bargains and that's a really good thing.
FX45 1911s are made to surprisingly tight tolerances. That's a nice way of saying they're so tight you will have to break them in. It's not uncommon for them to fail to feed or eject once or twice in the first couple hundred rounds. Of course, in the 1911 world that's part of the ritual of owning a finely-crafted example of John Browning's pattern, and FX45s fit that bill.
The first thing most people notice is the quality of the fit and finish of FX45 handguns, especially for such inexpensive firearms. ATI carries several models of these 1911s, from their very traditional M1911-style GI-patterned 1911s, to their modernized Titan 1911s, in compact and full-size, with Novak-style sights, to their competition-ready Thunderbolts, with adjustable sights, triggers, and optional ported bull barrels.
GI-style FX45 1911s often run around $400, give or take $25, and some of their improved models start at around $450. For what you get that's just flat-out impressive. About the only complaint people have is that the trigger is a little heavier than they'd like it to be, often in the 5.5-6.6 pound range.
ATI keeps prices low the same way RIA does, and that's by buying overseas. Like RIA 1911s, the FX45s are manufactured in the Philippines, although not by Armscor but by leading manufacturer Shooter Arms Manufacturing. A growing family-operated company, Shooter Arms is a completely modern manufacturer, building guns with computer-controlled CNC milling machines and lathes. They're also the largest gun vendor in the entire country, supplying not just people but also government and military sectors, as far away as Italy and Switzerland.
Shooter Arms actually makes quite a few interesting 1911s that we wish ATI would also import, but we're not upset with what they offer currently. If you're looking a 1911 on a budget or even a very solid platform to build a race gun on, you owe it to yourself to handle an FX45. They're inexpensive pistols, yes, but that doesn't mean they aren't made to standards that would put a smile on Browning's face.

Located in the Town of Smithville, the 3,254 acre Long Pond State Forest (Chenango Reforestation Area #35) offers a wide variety of habitats and recreational opportunities. Over a thousand acres were purchased in the 1930's, using funds from the Hewitt Amendment. Old farm fields were reforested to white pine and spruce. Native species of American beech, black cherry, white ash, sugar and red maple and eastern hemlock can be found. An additional 2200 acres was purchased in 1963 from the Tarbell estate.

Indeed. In a related list Paul Gartside announced that he had placed the Gurari translator from LaTeX/TeX, tex4moz, which should be very useful in this regard, on his web site with xml (html-with-mathml) examples that are ready for Mozilla.

With the release of Chapter 3 trailer of Parineeti Chopra and Ayushmann Khuranna starrer Meri Pyaari Bindu the actors gave few more interesting glimpse of the film.
Parineeti, who is portraying as Bindu Shankar Narayanan in the film, seemed to be not in love with her name and keeps complaining about it.
The actress aspires to be a Rockstar but at the same time she is worried that her name Bindu Shankar Narayan is not that glamorous one and won't help to fetch popularity.
While, Ayushmann, whose pet name is Ubla in the film, has the level of dislike for his name as Parineeti.
Parineeti is like a trouble-shooter for Ayushmann in the film so the actor calls her aafat and also 'Kalkatte Ki Madonna'.
Interestingly, the bubbly girl, Parineeti has also made her singing debut with Meri Pyaari Bindu titled as 'Mana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi'.
However, the chapter 2 trailer of Meri Pyaari Bindu got released yesterday.
The actress took to her microblogging site twitter to inform the release of the Chapter 3 trailer of the film.
My Bengali Bubblewrap – Abhimanyu BUBLA Roy! #MeriPyaariBindu Trailer- Chapter3@MeriPyaariBindu https://t.co/R5AZlQLVrU— Parineeti Chopra (@ParineetiChopra) April 5, 2017
Meri Pyaari Bindu is a Yash Raj project, the film is being produced by Maneesh Sharma and directed by debutant Akshay Roy.

According to the Washington Post, the above featured T-shirt became an overnight success recently, based on its perceived popularity.
Something strange happened this week in Amazon.com's apparel section.
For a day or two, a black T-shirt featuring an image of three wolves baying at a full moon claimed the top slot at the online store's clothing bestseller list,, beating out the usual, unremarkable mix of Levi's 505 regular-fit jeans, Crocs clogs and Adidas running shoes.
And really, why wouldn't you buy the shirt, which is priced from $7.65 to $17.93, depending on your size? Just read the long and growing list of customer testimonials promising earth-shattering experiences or psychedelic vision quests upon purchase.
"I bought this shirt and instantly old girlfriends started calling me again," wrote one reviewer.
"My doctor says the cancer has gone into remission," wrote another. "Thanks for changing my life!"
As retailers, media companies and even government agencies attempt to get with the times and connect with an online audience, every once in a while they get a reminder: Anybody, or any group, armed with a Web browser can anonymously game the system and manipulate the marketplace at sites inviting user feedback — for profit or just for fun.
Hence the sudden and unexpected popularity of an old and not quite "in" T-shirt.
The shirt's page at Amazon.com had quietly existed for years without much comment, but after a snarky link from CollegeHumor.com, the "Three Wolf Moon" shirt suddenly sprouted hundreds of five-star ratings. Reviewers have dreamed up epics about its powers, weaving fantasies involving everything from the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland to the pop group Duran Duran.
As the joke caught on and got passed around the Web, Photoshopped spoofs of the shirt started appearing online — featuring corgi puppies, spiders or haddock instead of the now-famous wolves.
Check out the shirts and the 5 star reviews on Amazon.com,
Perception is reality. Does this remind anyone of anything else that might have happened locally?
Have howling good weekend!

I have so many lovely memories of my childhood. As a child, my family moved a lot but I loved that, the chance to explore new areas, make new friends, have a new bedroom, get a bigger bedroom than my siblings! I always remember the sunshine, being outside on my bike, or roaming the neighbourhood, disappearing for hours on end (or at least that's what it felt like, perhaps it wasn't long at all), coming home only when it got dark or I got hungry. I remember being with my brother and a group of friends aged about seven and jumping off a very high cricket scoreboard platform. It's a wonder no-one broke anything. I remember making dens, playing games of 'It', riding my bike for hours and hours nowhere in particular, whizzing down hills, feeling the breeze on my face and through my hair. I would love to have that feeling of freedom these days, I wonder how little it would actually take?
This week my eldest went out to play on the street with the other local children. We live in a very safe area – the biggest danger are some of the cars driven by local residents who drive much too fast through our own village – so it is one of my greatest hopes that my children can experience some of the freedom that I had as a child. I used to walk to school with my brother, helped across the busy street by a Lollipop lady, although I was pretty responsible and probably didn't even need her to help us. I'm sure I was much more mature than my children are now! I can't imagine my boys crossing the road safely, they would just run across without a second thought despite (or maybe because of!) my constant teaching/nagging.
When I was nine my family moved to America and so I went to boarding school. I went with some trepidation and a great deal of excitement. The downside was that I would only see my parents at Christmas, Easter and for the long summer holidays. The upside is that I got to spend some of my exeat weekends and half terms with my grandparents and I have many lovely memories of time with them: their house, being in their garden, shelling peas, my grandpa's vegetable plot, him cooking Sunday evening supper (always scrambled egg on toast) so my grandma could have an evening out of the kitchen, shivering in front of a two-bar fire in their cold bathroom, the smell of the quilts on their guest beds. My grandfather taught me the patience card game Windows so that I could play it when I felt lonely and homesick at school and it's a game I still love to this day.
For the long holidays I got to fly home. Oh the excitement leading up to this! Every term we would make ourselves calendars to count off the days to the end of term – it would be 'this time next week' I'll be on the plane, 'this time tomorrow' I'll be arriving at the airport and so on. I still count my days like that. The holidays were always too short and I dreaded the return to school. Even though school wasn't too bad, it was School and therefore Not Home. I was always terribly homesick at school, missing my family, my dog, my home. So, for the last week of every holiday, I would have that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
On the last night of the holidays we always had The Last Supper. Either my brother or I would be allowed to choose our favourite meal and then the following day I would bid farewell to my beloved dog and then, at the airport, my family. I would give my sister a box of 'treasures' that I had made for her. And then my brother and I would get on a shuttle bus and he would attempt to stop me crying by cracking stupid jokes. Really silly small-boy jokes.
It was a ritual I hated because of the circumstances but a ritual I loved because my family would do everything they could to make leaving them easier for me. And the memory of my brother trying to cheer me up (and he has done so all of our adult lives when needed) has stayed with me and makes me smile whenever I think of it, and of him.
He still tells terrible jokes. And I'm still not very good at goodbyes.

Pomegranate Juice! Dec 03, 2013
When people talk about Turkey, they talk about the tea, coffee, baklava, kebabs, carpets and furs. But Turkey's best kept secret is pomegranates. Pomegranate juice is known as a superfood because of its antioxidant properties. It is healthy, and not often you may find something so healthy and tasty at the same time. Everywhere you go in Turkey, they have fresh-pressed pomegranate juice. It's really delicious and healthy but not that cheap. Turkey is one of the main pomegranate producing countries in the world. It is possible to grow pomegranates in most parts of the country. I've become kind of a pomegranate juice addict lately. There's just something captivating about pomegranates. Pomegranate juice it is one of these things that everyone should try, so don't hesitate and drink it!

Morgana Build Guide by Satzmann666

This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

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.
Threats to Morgana with this build
|In a direct matchup you do almost everything she does but better ... MUCH better. Your Q is on the same cooldown but hurts much more, your W gives you stronger waveclear, your shield makes her look like a babytoy. You farm all day while she has mana issues and basically you can all in whenever you like to if you hit Q which is easy against Lux. Overall: When 2 try to do the same thing its not the same thing.
Thanks to Searz for the awesome guide format! You can find it here.
Hi, I am known as Satzmann666 (or Threshmeister to some ppl) and this is my very first guide, so i'll try to make it as complex and badass as possible. I have been maining support role since I joined ranked games and I soon realised how hard it is to carry games from that position.
Morgana became my mid lane ticket to gold/plat in seasons 4 and 5 basically the first game I played her, especially for her safe and rewarding gameplay. As a mid laner or support, she brings great utility to the team, as well as nice damage and her ultimate Soul Shackles is undoubtedly one of the best ultimates for teamfights. I hope you will enjoy playing her just as much as I do.
My guide should give you a reasonable idea on what kinds of runes, masteries, summoner spells, skill distributions, items and tactics you should be using. It has divided sections for both MID LANE and SUPPORT Morgana.
If you think that anything in my guide is untrue, you find a mistake, or just disagree with a certain item, point in masteries or rune, please let me know in comments rather than downvote the whole guide without a single word and leave.
This guide is now fully updated for season 6 changes.
Pros / Cons
I do not really like giving advices on runes since everyone tailors those to fit their own playstyle, so feel free to change some and see if its working for you.
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Seal of Health
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power
3x Greater Quintessence of Ability Power is sort of must have on most AP mids as well as 9x Greater Mark of Magic Penetration. Seals and Glyphs are really up to your imagination, just keep in mind that Morgana is AP champion and critical damage is not really useful on her :)
I use these same runes onSUPPORT Morgana.
Summoner spells
Nothing to explain, really, you will need this to escape from ganks. When Black Shield fails, walljump, get inside the enemy team to perform Soul Shackles combo, or get away after you use it to engage. Flash is a must have.
A great spell for securing kills and reducing healing effects on target, try to save it for the moment you know it is going to kill the target.
In case you do not have Flash yet. Good for sticking to your enemies when you use Soul Shackles.
As a SUPPORT take this over Ignite, having at least one Exhaust in every team is mandatory.
- Can save your life when you have ignite or any other DOT (damage over-time) on you just by hitting as much minions as possible with Tormented Soil.
Enchanted Crystal Arrow is longer). It's a projectile skillshot that is kinda tricky to hit, but has decent range and is very useful in many situations.
- Put a Tormented Soil under a snared enemy champion to deal extra dmg.
- It deals enough dmg to steal jungle objectives, if enemy jungler is not around to Smite it, or managed to miss.
Morgana so safe in lane. It can kill all 3 caster minions on rank 3 and after you get your first AP items melee minions as well. As a support, use it to proc your Spellthief's Edge and Thunderlord's Decree or heal from minions.
- Usualy, you only need one cast of Tormented Soil per minion wave to keep enough mana sustain.
- With Tormented Soil, feel free to take your or even enemy wraiths for extra gold.
- If you know the enemy is going to focus on a certain carry on your team, shield them (unless he is Olaf), otherwise you can use it on yourself to be safe from the enemy CC while performing Soul Shackles=> Zhonya's Hourglass combo.
- Binding a self cast key for Black Shield can improve your reaction times while laning.
Soul Shackles with Dark Binding for great disable and guaranteed kill.
- Enemies like Vladimir or Fizz cannot escape stun from second tick by simply going untargettable, they need to physicaly escape the range.
- Combined with Dark Binding, it makes one enemy champion unable to move for hardly believable 4,5 seconds.
- PRO TIP Useful to scout for enemies in unwarded brush or stealth and even reveal them! When any enemy champion, even if you cannot see them, is in range, it turns available and if you use it they lose stealth.
Skill Sequence
This is my usual skill sequence when playing Morgana mid. I go for Tormented Soil to have safe level 1 farm and max it to 3 after I put 1 point in both Dark Binding and Black Shield.
You can grab Black Shield as well on level 3 to feel safer from ganks (in case enemy team has for example Amumu in jungle or Ahri with charm up on mid lane), just keep in mind that you need 3 points in Tormented Soil early to farm caster minions like a boss with a single spell.
As a support you do not farm, but you need as much utility as possible, so instead of Tormented Soil, you should take either Dark Binding against a squishy suppor like Sona, Janna, Annie, etc, or Black Shield against supports with hook, pull or any other kind of strong pick CC on level 1 ( Blitzcrank, Thresh).
Maxing out later strongly depends on how you are doing on lane. If you are doing good and enemy jungler is not giving you much trouble you can max Dark Binding faster and if you are getting ganked often and your lane is doing bad, put some extra points in Black Shield to lower its CD and make it more useful. In most games, 2 or 3 points in Black Shield is enough and I would recommend maxing Dark Binding for bindblowing (hehe) 3 seconds snare.
More info on items
- I put Zhonya's Hourglass in the 2nd inventory slot to have it bound to key 2 like any other important active item in build ( Blade of the Ruined King fe).
Morgana benefits from every single stat of this item a lot.
- With Chalice of Harmony or Athene's Unholy Grail feel free to leave a blue buff to your jungler if he needs it (like Kha'Zix or Amumu do).
- Morellonomicon is a great replacement for this item against AD heavy teams.
Athene's Unholy Grail and armor from Zhonya's Hourglass, more AP and extra utility to slow multiple enemies with Tormented Soil and Soul Shackles. If you need to survive before your teamfight combo is complete, this item can help you a lot with that.
- All enemies hit by Soul Shackles will be additionaly slowed by this item. Use it to your advantage and try to follow them since it is going to be even easier.
Infinity Edge of AP champions for nothing.
- Get it after at least 2 AP items to make 30% AP bonus as useful as possible.
Void Staff that deals % of HP as dmg overtime that I lately built couple of times and it was actually pretty good. It makes your Dark Binding hurt as hell and your Soul Shackles becomes even more a teamfight wrecker. You can still go for Void Staff or Abyssal Mask and get Liandry's Torment instead of Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
- Its passive deals HP% DOT so it is good to build against tanky HP stackers such as Dr. Mundo or Cho'Gath.
Athene's Unholy Grail. I would only recommend building Morellonomicon if you stand up against a full AD team, because you will not miss the MR.
- Use Tormented Soil to proc Grievous wounds on multiple low HP enemies.
Void Staff. Being on your own, Void Staff will boost your dmg more, but it leaves you more vulnerable, whereas Abyssal Mask offers a defensive stat.
- You should be the one to get it since you use your ultimate at the middle of enemy team in fights => you affect most of them with MR shred aura.
Last Whisper, only for AP and not AD carries. This will multiply all magic damage you do, so you will deal almost true damage to carries and eat through MR on tanks.
A replacement for Liandry's Torment in magic pen item slot.
- It is not a good idea to rush this item, since its effectiveness grows with amount of AP you already have and does not give you anything apart from the dmg boost.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter, but you want more AP, you can take this item. However, it is considered a troll item so it is not really a wise choice, you will be better off with utility items.
- Get lot of kills and assist.
- Dont die.
Cloth Armor or even Seeker's Armguard early to be able to trade better with enemy ADC without being killed, but do not rush it instead of wards or gold income items. If you have any extra gold from assists or champion kills and already have wards, slowly build this as your first AP item.
- With Seeker's Armguard try to get at least some lasthits to stack armor and AP when your ADC is away from lane or cannot reach a certain minion.
talisman of ascension.
- Use Tormented Soil to pickpocket + bandit gold from both enemy support and ADC in lane for biggest gold income.
Extra HP gives you more tankyness for trades.
- On your first back, do not buy straight Sightstone. Grab a Vision Ward and some AP ( Amplifying Tome), Boots of Speed, HP ( Ruby Crystal), or armor ( Cloth Armor) for trades instead.
One Locket of the Iron Solari per team is enough so do not build it if your jungler already have.
- Never forget to use its active.
Gives you extra tankyness, more utility and AP for reasonable price.
- All enemies hit by Soul Shackles will be slowed at the same moment by this item. Use it to your advantage and try to follow them since it is going to be easier.
Black Shield alone.
It compensates for no friendly castable heal in your kit.
- Just like with Locket of the Iron Solari, never forget to use its active.
NorthernRedStar for reminding me of this item.
Useful utility AP item for supports like Morgana, Annie or Sona who benefit from all its stats (AP, mana regen, CDR) well. Grievous wounds is an extremely effective tool against lifesteal, spellvamp or champion healing abilities.
- Use Tormented Soil to proc Grievous wounds on multiple low HP enemies.
- In case you are being really wealthy, this is your usual go-to item for maximizing your dmg output. The more AP you have, the more extra AP you get ... easy math.
Or you fail horribly and your gold will not be effectively spent :D.
- Get lot of assist (or even kills).
- Do not die.
Laning phase
When laning as Morgana, your main goal should be your farm => lasthitting minions and farming with Tormented Soil.
As soon as you get rank 3 Tormented Soil, farm caster minions from each wave with it and AA the melee ones. I would say that if you get 5 minions per wave => 60 - 70 CS on 10 minutes, it is good farm, but you usually consider anything higher than your opponents CS a good farm.
If you know how to do so, freeze your lane and zone your opponent so he gets less minions (remember you can heal back some harras due to your innate spellvamp from Soul Siphon).
You can use your Dark Binding to secure lasthits on siege (cannon) minions, but keep in mind that it costs you mana and if you have it on CD, you are much more vulnerable for engage from the enemy laner/jungler.
Morgana is sometimes called an "ungankable" mid laner and it is not far from the truth. You farm safely using Tormented Soil and do not need to go too far away from your turret, and even if you do, you can still Black Shield yourself in a bad situation, fire Dark Binding in enemy junglers or mid laners face and run under your turret. While being dived, your best chance is to Black Shield yourself, throw everything you have on enemy who is being focused by turret and run.
If everything else fails, you should still have Flash to get away.
On the other hand, Morgana is great at setting up ganks with Dark Binding and Soul Shackles. If your jungler is comming for a gank, position yourself so you can hit Dark Binding followed with Tormented Soil, or use your Soul Shackles => Dark Binding => Tormented Soil (=> Ignite) combo to get a kill.
Same combo is what you use when engaging on your own.
Morgana might not seem like a spectacular champion for roaming due to low mobility, but if needed, you can still greatly help out your teammates on other lanes.
Make sure the lane you are about to roam to knows about your intentions and go in with either surprise Dark Binding from unwarded bush or ( Flash =>) Soul Shackles => Dark Binding => Tormented Soil.
When facing any notorious roam champion Fizz, Ahri, Akali, always call ss/mia if you do not see them for longer than 5 seconds and if you know which way they went, alert that lane and try to safely follow them.
It is not champion kills that win games, but objectives (turrets, inhibitors, dragon, herald/baron) so try to take control over those. From a certain point of game (6 minutes) have both Dragon pit and Baron pit warded. In early game, if you get a chance (enemy jungler dead or low and recalling, enemy bot lane dead, etc) rally your team for Dragon.
As Morgana when taking either of boss monsters, stand out of the pit using your Tormented Soil and autoattacks to help and possibly have your Dark Binding ready for anyone who would try to come and steal it (or use it to help with boss if your team wants to rush it).
As a support DO NOT FARM (so obvious :D), but focus by all means on helping your ADCs farm.
So poke enemy ADC and support with Dark Binding and autoattacks for some nice dmg and extra money from Bandit , Black Shield any incomming CC and zone out enemy ADC from farm if you can.
You should have wards in river and in tri-bush to see enemy jungler soon enough to retreat, but if something goes wrong and you get ganked, you have to do the same procedure as on mid lane: Black Shield your carry or yourself depending on who is in danger of being CCed (if the danger is the same for both, shield your carry ofc), fire Dark Binding into a enemy junglers/ADCs face and run under your turret.
When your junglers is about to gank, ping where you think (or know) enemy support placed wards, and fire a well aimed and timed Dark Binding or perform the already mentioned ( Flash =>) Soul Shackles => Dark Binding => Tormented Soil (=> Ignite) combo.
Your key role at securing Dragon and Baron is keeping vision on them, and possibly denying enemy vision.
Dragon should be warded after ASAP in game or so and has 6 minutes respawn time after killed.
Baron should be warded after 15:00 in game or so and has 7 minutes respawn time.
When taking either of them, use at first your trinket or Vision Ward to check for enemy vision, then use Tormented Soil and autoattacks to help with boss and possibly have Dark Binding ready for anyone who would try to come and steal it.
MID LANEand SUPPORT
Morgana in teamfights should behave the same regardles on her role in team.
You try to hit any enemy carry with Dark Binding followed with Tormented Soil, Black Shield your engaging tank (unless he is Olaf again :D), or yourself or any other CC focused carry and hit as many enemies possible with Soul Shackles => Zhonya's Hourglass combo.
After your golden 2,5 seconds end, repeat Dark Binding => Tormented Soil combo into a nearest stunned carry and try to reposition so enemy team cannot kill you after stun goes off.
Remember that Zhonya's Hourglass makes you unable to move so be careful with it. If you want to stun as many enemy champions as possible, try to follow them at first and if they focus you, use Zhonya's Hourglass to punish them for doing so.
I personally think it is not so bad for a first guide and hope it is going to be any helpful for those who seek knowledge on how to play Morgana.
I would like to thank Searz again for the guide template that helped me understand coding a lot and Riot for making such a great champion I could write a guide for.
Feel free to comment in any language you want, but I will only answer those in English and Czech because I am a racist f**kabish ;).

Sometimes very sad to find out how some people let you down when you really did care about them!
Your worst times are the precious enlightened moments where you realized who you should not waste your precious time and energy on. ~ Ping Lew
What most people would ask of you, they wouldn't do for you themselves. As I sit here with a broken ankle, I realize what I'd do for some people they won't do for me. I have learned not to extend my energy to people who suck. I have a few great people and that's all I need. A few greats are way better then a bunch of suckers. ~ Jennifer Jackson
People are who they are. They have their own understandings just like you. It is unfortunate to have friends or family cause such suffering. Your choice is to remain and try to work through it or understand that some situations will never resolve. They will not be the courageous and change. So you must muster up and wish them happiness genuinely and leave permanently. You must respect yourself and respect the situation as it is also. ~ Linda Jablonowski

How to deal with fear?
This is one of the best kept secrets in the world I think. Well the technique deals with any emotion really, but in this case we are addressing getting rid of your fear.
Did you know that the best thing to do when you are experiencing fear of something is to actually go into the feeling of the fear and just 'be' with that feeling until it peaks and dissipates. The odd thing is, that if you actually allow yourself to experience your fear in this way, you will no longer have the fear. It's like it burns itself out. Fear itself can't hurt you.
Like any other 'emotion' fear is just a form of energy in motion. This is why 'they' say to feel the fear and do the thing anyway. If you observe little children, they experience their emotions immediately. We are the ones who teach them to push them down, bottle them up and not feel them. The problem with this is that we get so good at it, we then have difficulty even figuring out what we are feeling.
Now all this becomes important when trying to understand what your fears are in relation to unfolding your creativity. Unless you know what you are specifically afraid of, how can you bring it back, feel it and let it go so you are free to move on and open up your creative box? No one can tell you this. You have to figure it out for your self and the answers will more than likely be found in your child hood.
For example it took me a long time to figure out that a very big fear around my creativity came from a child hood experience I had……. to be continued in the next post.
This weeks question: Can you access the childhood fear that is keeping you stuck?

Major U.S. Army Ret.
Holden, Maine - HOLDEN - Harold L. "Chappy" Chapman, 87, died Nov. 20, 2012 at a Bangor Hospital. He was born Jan. 16, 1925 in Brewer, the first of four sons of George S. and Dorothy (Gerow) Chapman.
Throughout his early years he lived in Bangor winters to attend school and in summers at the Chapman apple farm in Newburgh. Harold graduated from Bangor High School in 1943, and upon graduation was inducted into the U.S. Army and became a member of the Army Specialized Training Program at Purdue University. He served in WWII on the Rhineland, Holland and European theater of operations, in the 102nd Infantry Ozarks Division as a Squad Leader receiving two purple hearts, an Oak Leaf Cluster, a Bronze Star and the Victory Medal. He played in the regimental band, playing reveille every morning. He was separated from the Army as a Staff Sergeant on Jan. 19, 1946. He remained active in the Ozark Reserve which met in many US cities, Europe and Alaska until it disbanded. Chappy started his college studies on the G.I. Bill at Farmington State College, transferring to the University of Maine, Orono where he completed a BS in Science in 1950 and an MS in Science Education in 1954. While at the UofM, he participated in ROTC and received the distinguished Military Cadet Award. He earned the rank of Major and was a Company Commander in the 181st Yankee Division of Massachusetts from 1968 to 1985. His company saw duty in Worcester, MA during the tornado of 1953. His military service was a total of 39 years and 26 days. Harold taught science at the Westborough, MA High School where he lived for 38 years. He received a National Science Foundation grant to study at Syracuse University earning an MS in Science with an Astronomy major. He earned his Ph.D in Science Education Oceanography at the University of Connecticut, Storrs in 1970. He was Chairperson of the Natural Science Department at Worcester State College (now University of Massachusetts at Worcester) for 29 years. He was an active leader of many scientific education groups including President of Mass Association of Science Supervisor and received the Distinguished Service Educator Award in 1981. Twenty of his retirement years were spent between Belize, Central America winters and summers in Beech Hill Pond, Otis. He and his wife sailed the Belize Reef from Mexico to Honduras. At Consejo Shores Belize, in addition to sailing, he enjoyed playing bridge and reading. He enjoyed hammock time both winter and summer. He was affiliated with 'Possum Point Marine Biological Station on Sittee River and Wee Wee Caye in the Caribbean. In Maine summers, he enjoyed the Bangor Band concerts and finally settled back in Holden, Maine in 1988.
Harold is survived by his wife of 61 years, Priscilla (Roberts) Chapman of Holden; three sons, Stephen of Grafton, MA, Jonathan and his wife Theresa of Dedham and Christopher of Holden; one granddaughter, Ashley Chapman of Douglas, MA; a niece Cynthia Chapman of Bangor and several cousins. He was predeceased by his third son, Jeffrey and three brothers, Clifton, Frank and Carleton.
A memorial service with military honors will be held 2pm Sunday Nov. 25 at Brookings-Smith, 133 Center Street, Bangor with the Rev. Grace Bartlett, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Brewer, officiating. The family invites relatives and friends to share conversation and refreshments at the Family Reception Center of Brookings-Smith, 163 Center Street, Bangor immediately following services Sunday. Interment will be at the Chapman Cemetery in Newburgh in the spring of 2013.

It's that time of year again, when VRG announces the winners of its annual $5,000 college scholarships for graduating high school seniors. Thank you to Sonja, Avi, Lauri, Jenny, and Melanie for helping us respond to all of this year's entrants.
As in previous years, applicants for this year's two $5,000 college scholarships encompassed a wide spectrum in terms of their social or economic status and their belief systems. Applicants ranged from those who grew up in conservative cattle country and had been members of 4H to those who are vegetarian for religious reasons (such as Hindu, Seventh-day Adventist, or Jain) to those who are members of punk rock bands.
Some students came from relatively privileged backgrounds, while others were forced to live with relatives because their parents couldn't care for them. Some had parents who were struggling with second jobs to bring in $20,000 per year or parents who have passed away after painful illnesses. Much of what these kids have gone through makes you stop and think. It's amazing how resilient they are, and that they can still feel empathy for others and find time to volunteer
One factor that most of the teens who applied for these scholarships did have in common is that, even today, their beliefs and behaviors tend to make them feel different and in the minority. Of course, they would like the scholarship award, but it does have an impact on their lives to know that others care about being vegetarian and promoting meatless diets.
Randon Martin from Clearwater, Florida, says he is a "17-year-old senior in high school, animal rights activist, and proud vegan." When he was younger and lived in upstate New York on 15 acres, Randon states, "In those years, the chickens, turkeys, ducks, and dog were my playmates, for at that time I did not come to the realization that what I consumed for sustenance was the same as our animals. I can recall one specific winter in which my father was going outside with an axe in hand. Upon noticing him make his way to the front door, I began to weep. Startled, he inquired as to why I was crying, to which I replied that I didn't want him to kill our animals for food… Upon informing my dad of my conscientious decision to become vegetarian eight years later, he reminded me of this story and my genuine concern of our animal friends."
Randon said that he and some close friends started and played in a predominantly vegetarian punk band. Through the local music scene, they met enough vegetarians to organize two vegetarian potlucks at which many attendees were musicians and fans.
In his junior year, Randon founded his high school's first animal rights club (S.C.A.R.). They hosted an allvegetarian picnic and a vegan Thanksgiving gathering, did a vegan fundraiser for a seabird sanctuary, gave away PETA and Vegan Outreach stickers and brochures, and set up a table on campus during lunch so they could give away brochures on meat consumption and environmental degradation. Randon said his biggest success was introducing more vegetarian options into the cafeteria.
He reported, "The vegetarian options were acquired through multiple conferences I had with the Cafeteria Manager and a few phone calls to the Head of Food Supply for Pinellas County. Now, we have vegan burgers, bean burritos, and chocolate soymilk available daily. There was little resistance for the introduction of these items. It was just a matter of choosing/ ordering foods and assuring the staff that there is an active demographic who would purchase the food every day. The veggie burgers are available daily, while the bean burritos are offered a few times a week. (There are also peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which have the most sales daily but were preexisting.) The soymilk is selling really well; I often see students sipping on the non-dairy beverage throughout the day and during our breaks. When introduced, the soymilk was only in a few vending machines in limited supply, but now they're in every machine with equivalent (or more) availability as the other beverages, so sales must've increased recently. In our weekly S.C.A.R. meetings, I advertise and remind participants to purchase the plant-based alternatives so they're consistently offered."
For the future, "I'm also speaking with the nutrition and wellness teacher here to coordinate a presentation on vegan nutrition and cooking; here, I hope to have a vegan food pyramid presented, short lecture and Q&A on maintaining a healthy plant-based diet, prepare tasty vegan food in front of the class, and have various proveg literature available for students as well."
One of Randon's teachers stated, "Randon was the most instrumental individual in getting this (the cafeteria options) in place here at our school. In fact, he was solely responsible. Randon has been instrumental this year in organizing 'The Great American Meatout' at our school and at his work. He contacted Primal Strips and got them to donate a few boxes of their jerky for this event…."
Randon's anticipated majors in college will be anthropology and environmental science. In the future, he would enjoy working towards his Ph.D. to become a professor so "I may further educate students on animal rights philosophy on a university level, or maybe starting another musical group to further advocate compassion to an open-minded audience… My thirst for justice for the voiceless cannot be satiated until the animals finally receive the liberation they deserve."
Sierra Predovich from Redwood, California, became a vegetarian in eighth grade. She reported, "Gradually, my mom adopted the vegetarian way of life as I did. Now, there is no meat in our house, my mom won't buy or cook meat for my dad, brother, or guests. It may sound surprising at first, but the boys enjoy the vegetarian meals just as much, if not more, than the meat."
During the summer of her junior year, Sierra asked a department chair to advise a club that she and her classmate wanted to start. Although school was not yet in session, they had already gathered a group of interested students and had begun to brainstorm ideas for their "Thoughtful Fuel Club," which had as its mission to encourage the consumption of locally grown produce and a vegetarian lifestyle.
Sierra wrote, "First, the school cafeteria was a major issue of concern to the club. We conducted a survey of the student body to determine which healthy, vegetarian foods students would be happy to see on the school menu. After calculating the results from the survey, Thoughtful Fuel approached the school board to address the cafeteria food. At first, the board was not very responsive to the issue; however, our persistence paid off. The effort resulted in getting 'greener' salads without iceberg lettuce and vegetarian bean burritos on the menu."
Under Sierra's direction, members of the club volunteer regularly at a local farmers' market. Sierra said, "Some of these vendors cannot afford to hire regular assistants, and therefore our help is greatly appreciated. I also believe that supporting these vendors is very beneficial to the environment, because by purchasing locally grown, pesticide-free produce, one is reducing dependence on oil (used to transport produce long distances) as well as harmful chemicals in pesticides that can leach into and contaminate groundwater. I have personally helped to sell organic apples, dried apricots, and a unique variety of pesticide-free vegetables from arugula to zucchini."
Sierra was featured in a USA Today story about the three percent of Americans between the ages of 8 and 18 (Vegetarian Resource Group Harris poll) who are vegetarian. Sierra says, "It may seem odd to people, but vegetarianism is the lifestyle of the future, and in my lifetime, meat-eaters will become the minority. Some people think that it takes an army of people to save the world, but in actuality, all it takes is a little dedication, and attention to what you put on your plate."
The VRG will award two $5,000 scholarships in 2009. Visit www.vrg.org to apply. Choosing two scholarship winners was very difficult. Due to a generous donor, we are now giving a third student a needs-based internship scholarship. If you would like to fund additional scholarships or internships for these deserving students, please contact The Vegetarian Resource Group, P.O. Box 1463, Baltimore, MD 21203; (410) 366-8343; email@example.com.

What happens when a plan goes away?
A plan doesn't last forever. By plan, we mean your voice and data service.
But "Why?" you may ask. Where do plans go? When we stop selling a plan, it's considered to be retired, or you may have even heard us refer to an older plan as "grandfathered." If you don't see your current plan in the Plans section of our website, it's most likely been retired.
This means that no one else can subscribe to the retired plan but everyone who currently has it gets to keep it as long as they keep a couple of things in mind:
- Keep your service active and your bill current.
If your service gets disconnected for non-payment, you won't be able to get back on the retired plan.
- You can't get it back if you change your plan.
It's easy to change your plan—you can do so as often as you want—but once you change from a retired plan, you won't be able to get it back.
Why do you retire plans, anyway?
Advancements in technology can make a plan obsolete. Today, it would be ridiculous to offer a plan where you had to pay for text messages but, ages ago, (before there even were smartphones) most carriers charged for each text message sent and received or offered plans where a certain number of text messages was included. We evolve our plans to meet the changing needs of customers and to take advantage of new technology.
Can I get a new device and keep my current plan?
In many cases, you can. If you upgrade online, you'll be told whether or not you need to change your plan to get a new device. Or, you can text us at 611 and we'll tell you.


text: I have no idea what is going on here. I just reformatted, all of my settings are the same except I now have the most recent drivers on everything. That being said I can't imagine the reformat or the drivers are the problem. Here's the deal whenever my system does ANYTHING. Loading a program, a page, scrolling the mouse wheel for godsake.... My speakers hum. Its kinda a feedback sound only real low. I thought maybe it was plugged in wrong since I just moved the system around. It's not though, the latest Audigy drivers are old as hell so it can't be that. My speakers are the Logitech 5300 or something like that. They are the 5.1 speakers with wired remote. I can live with the noise, I just want to know whats causing it or if its a sign of speaker failure or something. Anyone?

Last Saturday, we took the kids up to Seattle. We went to the Space Needle –
And looked at the amazing view –
And had the most expensive meal we've ever eaten –
Then went to the Ballard Locks –
And watched the boats –
It was an absolutely glorious day in the Pacific Northwest.
Well, except for a few periods where we got lost and blamed each other. Apparently being lost in a big city does not bring out the best in Jim and me. Mostly Jim.
I can say with confidence though, that it was all his fault.
Also at some point, Big rubbed his hand or his face all over some disgusting pile of germs. Three days later, he woke up at 5:30 am, announced he didn't feel good, and coughed all over my eyeballs.
So now we all have the plague or something.

Vinyl LPs Groovin' Again
The look and, actually, the smell of the Sound Spectrum, a kitschy and practically prehistoric record shop on South Coast Highway, haven't changed that much over the last 45 years. But if you look past the looming wall-size (and out-of-print) collector's posters of Hendrix, The Beatles, Bob Marley and The Clash overhead, you'll see something you might wish you still had your hands on.
Where once only CDs prevailed, vinyl albums, largely classic rock-and-roll with some price tags upwards of $30, are back where they belong, nestled in the wooden display racks custom-built to hold them lo all those years ago.
The records are returning to the racks not out of nostalgia or because of collectible cover-art, although both attributes come into play as reasons for the vinyl revival. It's because they're surprisingly attracting a younger generation of buyers who seem intrigued by what their parents had been up to.
What they found was a fuller sound, subtler than the fast-food version of music bytes they'd been fed most of their formative years, digitized and downloaded from the Internet.
Twenty-somethings and younger have become the largest demographic buying vinyl, according to Forbes, with the Beatles' "Abbey Road" placing first in sales last year. Vinyl albums sales rose 36 percent in 2011 to 3.9 million, their highest level since 1991 when Nielsen SoundScan started collecting sales data from retailers. Forbes has predicted that vinyl will eventually outsell CDs, a trend that's saving independent record stores from fading into oblivion.
"At a certain point, I probably would have closed," said Jim Otto, the Sound Spectrum's original owner since 1967. Buying the building at his parents' insistence back then, Otto finally feels it was the right decision. "I was able to hang in here even though it probably wasn't practical," he said about a time when even the towers of power in record stores were calling it quits. "At a certain point, I was just barely breaking even," he said. "With Laguna, at least you're lucky enough because summertime brings in an influx of people."
For now, even a hint of increasing sales is sweet. Revenue from recorded music shrunk 52 percent from 2000 to 2010, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
But last year things started looking up with 1.27 billion individual tracks downloaded in the U.S., up 8.5 percent from 2010, and sales of complete digital albums reaching 103.1 million, a 19.5 percent gain, according to Nielsen.
The big news for the little store is that for the fourth consecutive year, more vinyl records were sold than in any other quantified era, according to Nielsen, with two-thirds of those albums purchased at independent music retailers. And that's counting only newly pressed releases or re-releases, not vintage vinyl.
Otto's expecting to see high-quality used original albums grow in demand and is happily removing dividers that converted his record bins to hold CDs, already filling two double-sided rows down the center of his musicology enclave with album sleeves from the past.
"Vinyl will definitely outlast CDs because of the resonance, the sound," Warner Group's Recorded Music CEO Lyor Cohen told Forbes in January. "The quality is closest to the way the artist wants you to hear it."
Sound is a big factor with the heretofore-digitized generation but so is physicality. "Vinyl is vintage," a definite "cool" factor, said Jackson Parker, 17, a well-versed music enthusiast. But what's attracting his generation to the plate-size platters is "they're tangible," he said.
Parker Macy, 27, owner of a pint-size silver and baby-blue Airstream-type trailer converted to a retro music shack at The Lab in Costa Mesa, agrees. "I think having 12½ inches square of big material you can stare at and look at and touch and feel inspires people to collect rather than just filing stuff in a folder on your computer," he says. "It's a lot more hands-on and kids are hands-on people. We all are."
There is the argument that downloaded digitized music can be upgraded comparable to vinyl quality, but album collectors turn a deaf ear. "You can make a robot that's almost a human but the fact of the matter is it's never going to be a human," says Macy.
Digital, let's face it, is convenient. It's hard to take an LP on a jog or a jet or in a car, for that matter. Macy said he has a couple of hundred gigabytes of MP3s to choose from when he rides his bike. "They're great for their convenience but the quality is just so dumbed-down, it's almost not worth listening to after awhile," he said. "People who want to hear the intricacies of the record, hear the trumpets pop out over the clarinets, you're going to hear it in its element a helluva lot better on a record."
All in all, vinyl fans are figuring out that the industry had it right when 33's rolled off the presses.
"They told us CDs would sound better; they didn't," said Wave Baker, a long-haired, well-preserved hippie and music junkie who's worked with Otto for more than 12 years. "Downloads are convenient but I don't think people would have let go of their vinyl if they knew they would sound better. I know a lot of people who have and they're sorry.

I currently have a site where the first navigation item is the [home] and is setup blog style, where all other navigation items are pages. All of this is working fine.
Is there a way I can get a traditional splash page to occur before full access to my site is available - IE: when someone types in the address for my site, they are brought to the splash page - and if they continue to enter - they are then brought onto that first home/blog page with relative pages.
I would prefer this splash page to be traditional in the sense that it has an image and a proceed/do not proceed option with no other relation to the site.
Is this possible? Thanks

text: A South African court has annulled the third marriage of Nelson Mandela's eldest grandson Mandla to a Swazi princess following an application from his estranged first wife, his lawyer.Mandla, a member of parliament and traditional chief, lost the case against his first wife Tando Mabunu-Mandela after a two-year legal battle, his lawyer Gary Jansen said."That is correct. It was yesterday (Friday)," he told AFP, declining to elaborate.A family spokesman was not immediately available for comment.Mabunu-Mandela sought the annulment after her husband ignored a court ban to marry Mbali Makhathini in December 2011.A few months earlier she had already had his second marriage to a woman from Reunion island declared invalid on similar grounds.The pair are currently locked in a bitter divorce feud, and Mandla's neglect to pay maintenance has elicited an arrest warrant and a seizure of assets.While polygamy is legal under South African tribal law, a man cannot have different wives under both tribal law and under civil law. Mabunu-Mandela and Mandla were married in a civil union.Mandla has repeatedly made the headlines over the years for his colourful private life and various disputes with his relatives.In one high-profile controversy last year, Mandla was ordered by a court to return the remains of his grandfather's deceased children after he moved them without the family's permission. The court order came as Nelson Mandela lay gravely ill in hospital.Mandla then launched a televised tirade against his relatives, accusing them of trying to benefit financially from the Mandela name. He also said his brother had impregnated his second wife.In January he appeared in court on assault charges after pointing a gun at a teacher during a road rage incident.Peace icon Nelson Mandela was renowned around the world for his politics of reconciliation after spending 27 years in jail for opposing white minority rule.He died aged 95 in December.RELATED LINKS Mandela's love children want a stake in his estate Unselfish' Mandela leaves R46m estate Oscar's lawyer defends Mandla Mandela Mandla Mandela in court for assault NPA drops two Mandela cases Mandela family told to keep calm- SAPA
