Garen Build
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.
Credits to DEWO for his build layout.
This is my first build on Mobafire so here we go :
Intro : Garen is referred to most as a physical DPS/Critmaster. I like to think otherwise. Building him as a tank not only makes him have extreme survivability, but you can still nuke the balls off carries/ non-tanks. With his ultimate, you can easily pile kills and get enough money for all the sunfires in the world.
- Early game hero
- Great(BUGGED) Ultimate - Great for finishing low health enemies.
- Abilities cost nothing
- Good AOE skill in Judgment
- Good tanking ability with Courage
- Great initiator
- Long silence
- Decent chaser
- Good escape mechanism (Judgment = no slows)
- High armor + HP
- Lack of CC
- Slow atack speed
- Cooldown dependent
- Judgment doesn't stop snares/stuns
Summoner Spells:
Great summoner skill early game to get those easy first bloods. It also helps to keep yourself alive and making an enemy vulnerable to your Judgment spinning. The best use of it is in the early game laning phase. Garen is such a early game hero, I almost always get first blood, mostly depending on my lane partner.
Nothing too much to say about ignite other than to use it in conjunction with Exhaust to help you get those early kills. Another great use of it is combining it with Demacian Justice for an easy killing blow.
Another decent choice for Garen. Ghost is especially useful when you're chasing an enemy attempting to finish them with Demacian Justice. Pop ghost and your Decisive Strike and boom you can catch them in no time. Also useful for escaping.
Another alternate. I don't use this too much with Garen but it can be useful for again escaping and landing your ultimate.
The standard for most physical DPS/TANKS. I use it sometimes, but not much being that you have mercury treads.
{Passive} -Perseverance - Garen will regenerate .5% of his maximum health per second after not receiving damage for 7 seconds.
A good early game passive. Can keep you on lane for little bit longer. The regen later on becomes marginal.
I tend to rely on it when i have 50% or more HP. If i go lower i always have my health potions (till about lvl 10)
Dont rely on this when you have 10 HP :) its better and safer to port and heal and run back spamming DS on the way.
This passive probably will get a boost sooner or later.
- Decisive Strike
Garen's next attack strikes a vital area of his foe, dealing bonus damage and silencing them.
Garen gains a 15/20/25/30/35% speed boost for 2 seconds. His next attack deals 40/60/80/100/120 bonus damage and silences his target for 2.5 seconds.
Cooldown - 11/10/9/8/7 seconds
Cost - No Cost
Range - Self
Decisive Strike is tank Garen's bread and butter skill. This skill is perfect to initiate a team fight. The objective is to go in and silence the other teams carry. Decisive strike can be used in many many ways. Use it to last hit minions in the laning phase if the other team is passive. It affects turrents so you can hit them for double the damage. This is usually the starting skill in the combo. Another amazing part of this ability is that it gives you a speed boost when you use it, making it great for escaping or chasing an enemy.
- Courage
Garen's kills increase his armor and magic resistance. He may also activate this ability to give himself a damage reducing shield.
Passive: Garen's armor and magic resist are permanently increased by 0.5 every time he kills an enemy unit. This bonus is maxed at 7/14/21/28/35.
Active: Garen places a defensive shield on himself for the next 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 seconds, decreasing all damage taken by 35%.
Cooldown - 30/27/24/21/18 seconds
Cost - No Cost
Range - Self
This is your get out of sticky situations skill. 35% damage reduction is amazing when you are in a sticky situation. In the laning phase, depending on who you lane against it can be used to take a skill or to take a few turrent hits. A few enemy abilities it could be useful against would be Karthus ultimate, Nidalee spear, Ezreal ultimate, and many many more. It takes time to learn to press it when you're about to get attacked. During mid-late game, it can be used in conjunction with Decisive strike to initiate a team fight.
- Judgment
Garen performs a dance of death with his sword, dealing damage around him and becoming immune to slowing and root effects for 3 seconds.
Garen rapidly spins his sword around his body for 3 seconds, removing and making him immune to all roots and slows, dealing physical damage (15/35/55/75/95 plus 35% of his attack damage) to enemy units in the area every 0.5 seconds. This ability does half damage to minions, and it can scale off of your critical hit stat to deal bonus damage.
Cooldown - 15/14/13/12/11 seconds
Cost - No Cost
Range - Melee
This is what makes Garen such an early game hero. If you're laning partner has a stun it is almost a guaranteed first blood for your team as long as the enemy isn't a tank.
While Judgment is active, you cannot be slowed/blinded, although you can be stunned/snared. Judgment is also a sort of cleanse to slows.
Use Judgment to farm up creeps/ harass an enemy.
Remember this ability is an AOE skill. Use it in conjunction with Decisive strike to initiate a team fight. Even though you are a tank Garen, Judgment does absolute beast damage to carries despite having no AD items. It can crit, which is another reason why the Atmas Impaler is apart of the build.
- Demacian Justice
Garen calls upon the might of Demacia to deal a finishing blow to an enemy champion that deals damage based upon how much life his target has missing.
Garen calls upon the might of Demacia to attempt to execute an enemy champion, dealing 175/350/525 damage plus 1 damage for every 3.5/3/2.5 health they are missing.
Cooldown - 140/120/100 seconds
Cost - No Cost
Range - 400
Demacian justice is your anti KS/Tank killer/FINISHER as Garen. As of the time I made this guide this skill is extremely bugged. ( It gets canceled by flash/you dying/many other champion skills, all making it go on CD) Demacian justice does damage according to how much HP your enemy has left. It can be a challenge trying to figure this out, but you begin to understand the skill and know what and what not will kill your enemy. Usually a tank with 1/4 HP can be downed, or a Carry with 1/3 of their HP.
It is much better better to get the kill then to waste the skill and let the enemy get away. Never use this skill outside of getting a finishing blow.
1/21/8 Standard tanking masteries with improved Exhaust.
Garen uses a fairly generic tanking rune page. Going with standard flat health Quints, dodge seals, HP/5 Glyphs, and Armor pen marks
Build Clarification:
- Pretty self explanatory, gives you that extra speed boost for that first blood. The three HP potions + your passive really help give you staying power early game. Will turn into your next item.
- Standard boots for tankers. Really helps against a heavy CC team. {90% of games)
If the team has little to no CC
Sunfire capes are pretty much self explanatory. They really help with Garens farming, and also teamfights. If you choose to get the frozen mallet, it allows you to burn your enemies even more.
- Here you have a choice. If you feel like you're not doing enough damage, get atmas impaler. If you feel you're doing fine, grab another sunfire and burn them up even faster.
- These 2 items can be thrown into the build at any time you feel like. Frozen mallet is great because of the health bonus, also because of the slow bonus. It really can help you catch someone and burn them alive. Elixir of fortitude is great end game when you're max level because of the damage/HP boost.
- Caster heavy team build.
Early game
We start with a point in judgment. Start off with boots of speed and 3 HP potions. Coordinate with your lane mate to get into the bushes as fast as possible making for an easy kill. - First blood in matter of 3 secs. Going in a solo lane is possible, but it's fairly hard for garen early game. I recommend you go with a lane partner.
Hide at the end of the bushes. 80% of games at least 1 of the enemy will walk up to the bush(If you get there early) and then all you need to do is Normal Attack --> Exhaust --> Judgment. Boom almost always results in a kill and first blood. After getting first blood, or not.. If you can, jump between caster and melee creeps to do a Judgment and push mobs away while attempting to harass the enemy to keep them back. Use Decisive Strike to harass the enemy. The silence will save you from getting drawback after the easy harass. If you get into trouble, Judgment/Decisive Strike to run away.
You should have a kill every time your exhaust is ready. If you have a lane mate that can stun, you have a much higher chance of winning that lane battle.
Remember to use Courage active as much as possible to lower damage income. Rely on your passive above 50% and on health pots below 50%.
By the time you hit level 6 you can nearly get a kill every time Demacian justice comes off cooldown.
Use Decisive strike to hit towers harder.
Mid game
You should have your boots and maybe a sunfire, at least parts of it. By now little team fights/ganks have begun to arise. Help out as a tank and try focusing on getting as much minion kills as possible while pushing towers. You should be racking in kills by now, but sunfires cost lots of money so we need to keep farming.
Late game
2-3 Sunfires/Atmas impaler... Now you are a true TANKING machine. Being able to take most of your enemy teams DPS. Remember you are a tank. You can initiate the fight. Decisive strike + Courage + Judgment. Finish off with Justice, and chase with DS. Spam Courage on CD.
Hope you enjoyed my first guide.
Please leave a comment for either a +1 or a -1, and most importantly give me suggestions!
And Have fun!

Mercury hits 30C as UK basks in mini-heatwave
The UK's mini-heatwave saw the hottest day of the year so far as temperatures hit 30C in some parts of the country.
Much of the country basked in sunshine on Monday, with the mercury reaching 30C in London's Kew Gardens and St James's Park, 28.7C in Cardiff, 24.8C in Edinburgh and 25.9C in Castlederg, Northern Ireland.
Thermometers are expected to climb to 34C (93.2F) on Tuesday, bringing an even warmer day, and prompting Government officials to issue health warnings.
A couple relax in deckchairs on the beach at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, as a mini heatwave brings the hottest temperatures of the year
Public Health England (PHE) is urging people to look out for elderly relatives and friends who may be susceptible to the high temperatures - and to take extra care of young children, babies and those with heath issues.
But the hot and humid air is expected to trigger thunderstorms across much of the UK from Tuesday evening until late on Wednesday, with a severe weather warning for rain and the possibility of flash-flooding.
With the warm weather expected to last until the end of Wednesday, PHE is advising a common-sense approach to dealing with the heatwave.
People are urged to drink plenty of water and avoid dehydrating alcoholic and caffeinated drinks, close curtains to keeps rooms cool, open windows and avoid people and animals being left in closed, parked vehicles that can get extremely hot.
There are also warnings to stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm, avoid physical exertion at the hottest times of the day and stay in the shade - and to put on a hat and wear sunscreen.
Dr Angie Bone, PHE's head of extreme events, said: "For s ome people - such as older people, those with underlying health conditions and those with young children - summer heat can bring real health risks.
"This summer we're urging people to keep an eye on those at-risk and if you're able, offer help to stay cool and hydrated."
St John Ambulance has also issued advice, urging people to be aware of headaches, dizziness and cramp which can be signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Clive James, from the charity, said: "Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are the most serious problems that can develop when the mercury soars, so it's essential that people can spot the signs - such as headache and dizziness - and get them somewhere cool and rehydrated as soon as possible."
Pollen levels will be high over the country for the next few days, causing havoc for hay fever sufferers - and there may be another restless night on Tuesday as temperatures reach 22C (71.6F) overnight.
The hot weather has been caused by a warm plume of air that has worked its way northwards from Spain, the Met Office said.
Forecaster Grahame Madge said temperatures from London to the West Midlands could reach 34C (93.2F) on Tuesday, before thunderstorms bring up to 50mm of rain and the possibility of flash-flooding - with a weather warning for everywhere north of a line stretching from Bristol to The Wash.
He said: "The July temperature record was set on July 1 last year with 36.7C (98.1F) at Heathrow.
"We are not suggesting that temperature will be exceeded by anything we have got this week, but the temperatures that we do have will be the warmest we have seen in the last 12 months."
Wednesday will see highs reaching the low 30Cs, but by Thursday fresher conditions from the Atlantic will bring temperatures down to the more comfortable mid-20Cs, reaching around 22C (71.6F) to 24C (75.2F) by Friday and Saturday.
Bookmaker Coral has offered odds-on at 10-11 that thermometers will reach 37.78 (100F) or higher anywhere in the UK this week, with 1-3 that there will be a hosepipe ban this summer.

Dawson's Story
From the moment Dawson was born I learned that I would need to take life one day at a time in order to be strong for my family. I can tell you without a doubt it was not easy to think that way initially.
Dawson was born on March 20, 2000. That day his father Patrick and I heard the doctors discussing the option of starting him on dialysis. He weighed seven pounds, 12 ounces. Dawson was born with a condition called posterior urethral valves. His kidneys were underdeveloped and did not create urine. Dawson needed CHEO's help.
For his first four years CHEO was a lifeline for Dawson. Time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, surgeries, medications and plenty of appointments were needed to ensure that Dawson's kidneys functioned. With the help of his nephrologist, Dr. Janusz Feber, Dawson became a candidate for a kidney transplant.
I did not hesitate for one second to be his donor. I was tested and was a match. How could I not? I would, and will do, anything to save my son's life!
Keep strong. Never lose hope. That's our motto. That motto was put to the test. For eight years we lived a somewhat normal life. Dawson still had to take anti-rejection drugs daily and lots of blood tests but thankfully his day-to-day consisted of school and making friends.
Then in 2012 tests showed his kidney function was decreasing. His amazing doctors gave him two options: dialysis three days a week at CHEO or at home seven nights a week.
Dawson chose nightly at home, called peritoneal dialysis. It's a lot of work to prepare and get him hooked up. But it means his daytime life is not disrupted. He goes to school and hangs with his friends and then every night from 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. he is attached to his dialysis machine. It is what keeps his body functioning while he waits for a transplant.
That's right. Dawson needs another kidney transplant. To look at him you really can't tell he is sick on the inside. Outwardly Dawson is a happy, super positive 16 year old. Inside, he is very sick. Having to undergo dialysis isn't easy on him. He suffers from chest pain, muscle spasms, diet restrictions and more. There are many side effects to kidney failure.
That's where supportive donors like you can come in. Your generous gift today means my son receives amazing care at CHEO. Please consider renewing your gift today.
You can provide hope to patients at CHEO. What we are going through is tough but with CHEO's support we feel lucky. When we have to spend nights at CHEO, we laugh, literally. Staff members do what they can to make my son smile and laugh. You can't know what that means when you spend your nights worrying about the future.
Humour is our medicine some days. When Dawson looks at me and says, "I'm tired of being Dawson," I reply with, "Would you like me to call you Mike?" We laugh together. I know what he really means of course. Waiting for a kidney donor is hard. But while we wait we will laugh together. You see, we are each other's superheroes.
You can be a superhero too. Please support CHEO and the many patients that need you, especially at this time of year.
I look forward to the day we get to report back that my son has a new kidney and no longer needs dialysis. Wouldn't that be a special gift?
With gratitude,
Bettina Iraci
P.S. Please consider becoming a monthly donor. Your gift will help CHEO kids each and every day.

In 1977, the South Carolina Coastal Tidelands and Wetlands Act was passed by the S.C. General Assembly. This statute charges DHEC with the responsibility to protect the quality of the coastal environment and to promote the economic andsocial improvement of the coastal zone. DHEC must balance the public's desire to utilize South Carolina's natural resources while protecting environmental quality. Through integrated regulatory and compliance programs, DHEC works to ensure that environmental impacts are limited within the scope of regulations and enforceable policies.
The following public notice submittal deadlines apply to all State and Federal permits and applications for funding assistance requiring a coastal zone consistency determination except for joint permit applications from both DHEC and the Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE). Joint permit applications requiring a Critical Area permit and a ACOE permit will be processed as a joint public notice. The joint public notice will be coordinated to run with the ACOE's public notice if the application is administratively complete. DHEC must receive submittals for weekly public notice associated with a coastal zone consistency determination and Critical Area permits by Monday close of business. The submittal must be deemed complete for notice by staff to be considered for public notice the following Friday. Submittals received after Monday close of business are subject to being placed on public notice the following week even if the submittal is deemed complete by staff. If the permit application or funding assistance application is not complete, staff will notify the applicant of the deficiencies within 10 working days from the DHEC receipt date.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Tim Kaine recently took aim at Republican rival George Allen's support of a flat tax.
In an Oct. 31 news release, Kaine's campaign linked a statement by Allen to a flat tax proposal recently made by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is seeking the GOP presidential nomination.
Perry's plan would allow people to opt out of the current tax system and pay a flat 20 percent federal levy on their income.
During a Fox News interview on Oct. 30, the governor did not dispute host Chris Wallace's assertion that the flat tax proposal, by the estimates of Perry's campaign, would reduce federal revenue by $4.7 trillion from 2014 to 2020. "I think Americans are ready for Washington, D.C., to quit spending money," Perry said.
The next day, Kaine's campaign put out a statement saying Allen supports a 17 percent flat tax -- lower than Perry's 20 percent.
"That means Allen's plan would actually shrink revenues further than the Perry plan, forcing even harsher cuts to programs that Virginians depend on," the news release said.
We wondered if Kaine was correct in saying Allen backs a flat tax plan that would cut revenues more than Perry's proposal.
Under the Texas governor's plan, flat tax filers would receive a $12,500 exemption for each dependent and would not pay levies on capital gains and social security benefits. Perry's proposal would preserve deductions on mortgage interest and charitable contributions, as well as state and local taxes, but phases them out for people with incomes of more than $500,000. He would also drop the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent.
Flat tax supporters say the lower levies would fuel economic expansion; critics say the plans would sap more revenues than can be made up by added growth. An analysis of Perry's plan by economic consultants John Dunham and Associates, done at the behest of the Perry campaign, said it could drain about $5 trillion in federal revenues through 2020.
What, exactly, is Allen proposing? We're not sure, and Allen's campaign isn't providing many clues.
Kaine, in the news release, based his contention that Allen backs a 17 percent flat tax on a statement Allen made during a June 14, 2011, news conference when he released his economic platform. Allen endorsed the concept of an optional flat tax.
There are a lot of people who would actually like to say, "Alright, here is my income, multiply it by, say, .17, and file it on one page,'" he said.
The Kaine campaign provided us with transcripts and tapes of two other appearances where Allen used the 17 percent flat tax example. In both cases, Allen used the word "say" before he uttered 17 percent, creating some hedge room.
Dan Allen, an Allen policy adviser, said the candidate's wording shows he was throwing out a hypothetical number. A variety of flat tax plans throughout the years have called for flat tax rates of 17 to 25 percent, Dan Allen said.
The text of George Allen's economic proposals, titled "The Blueprint for America's Comeback," calls for a flat-tax alternative but offers no details.
We asked Allen's campaign for specifics -- such as what percentage of income should be subject to a flat tax and what deductions and exemptions should be allowed. But Dan Allen said the Republican has never settled on a single flat tax plan to support.
"To say there's one Allen plan is not accurate," said Dan Allen, who is not related to George Allen.
He referred us to George Allen's 2010 book, "What Washington can Learn from the World of Sports," in which the Republican said he's supported a variety of flat tax proposals. One plan lauded in Allen's book would establish an optional flat levy on combined federal payroll and income taxes, set at 25 percent of gross income.
Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, said he suspects that proposal would drain more revenue than Perry's plan because it affects two levies. Perry's proposal only applies to income tax, not payroll tax.
Williams wrote earlier this month that Perry's proposal "would dramatically reduce tax revenues," by a much as $1 trillion in 2015. But he told us he can't definitively say whether Allen would cut off more government revenue than Perry because he doesn't know the details of what Allen is proposing.
Our ruling:
Kaine says Allen's flat tax "plan would actually shrink revenues further" than a flat tax proposal made by Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Kaine is correct is in saying Perry endorses a 20 percent flat tax on income, but stretches the truth when he says Allen has made a proposal that would set the rate lower. Allen, while endorsing the concept of an optional flat tax, has offered no plan of his own. The basis of Kaine's charge are Allen's statements that a flat tax rate could be set at "say, 17 percent."
That's hardly a plan or an endorsement of a flat tax rate, so there's no substance to compare to Perry's proposal. We don't fault Kaine for demanding specificity from Allen. But Kaine goes too far when he tries to create a plan for Allen based on inconclusive statements.
We rate Kaine's claim False.

The Woman In Black
She can claw mark

Her daily menstrual
Running blood and wild
For vampires alike
Once she made fire
With her eagle claws
A tangled and matted mop
In torn and ripped black.
The high street welcomes her
Laying out a welcoming mat
Her height was short
And her heels so tall,
Her head touched the sky.
She was so thin and lanky
But not bright at all
Being curious in smoke,
The flames burn hope
With rings of solid gold
There's not much to her,
Just a cat that's black with ...

The new Rhyl FC Museum was officially opened by former Manager John Hulse before the start of the pre-season friendly against Stoke City on the 6th August. The most successful manager of the Club since the move to the Welsh Pyramid was delighted to make the trip from his Wirral home to visit the ground again and to officially open the room.
The Museum was the idea of lifelong Rhyl Supporter Graham Cartlidge which has seen one of the rooms underneath the old Kop converted into a glorious exhibition of the club's history. John Hulse was visible amazed at the dedication to this project from Graham and commented upon how this club stalwart had developed this idea into such a fabulous area.
During his visit John spoke about the great memories of the 2003/04 season and in particular the famous afternoon when Rhyl clinched the Welsh Premier League title in the town of Porthmadog and how it became a day to remember for all supporters, players and officials of the club. John also reflected on the transformation of the ground during his period at Rhyl FC and paid tribute to the work of all the volunteers who behind the scenes at the club had been responsible for this transformation and more importantly had kept the club going during difficult times.

From West Hills, California, USA:
My son is eight years old and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes three months ago. I try my best to balance his diet but he never has liked vegetables and now it seems even more important that he get the nutrients that they can give. He was on vitamins before, should he keep taking them or what other foods have those same vitamins in them?
Dealing with a new diagnosis of diabetes is tough on both you and your son. One of the reasons is that managing diabetes is so tied up with food. It sounds to me as if you had made a pretty wise choice before your son had developed diabetes: recognizing that few eight year olds eat a varied diet with all those vegetable servings that are good for you. So you decided to take out an insurance policy by giving him a vitamin. It's still a good idea. I can promise you that getting diabetes didn't change his opinion of vegetables. Keep putting them on the table and eating them yourself. He'll most likely catch on one of these days and start eating them too. But maybe not -- in which case, he should include a vitamin pill in his budget for a long long time!
I know it's hard to try to relax because you're so concerned about his health right now. Still, it's counterproductive to make food issues into a battleground. In a kid's mind, if vegetables were so good, would you have to be forcing him to eat them? Your child with diabetes needs the same good nutrition that everyone in the family needs. Don't single him out for what he will surely see as the punishment of having to eat vegetables, which you didn't make him do before he had the diabetes.
I suggest that you get a good current book on nutrition for kids with diabetes. One example is my book Sweet Kids: How to Balance Diabetes Control & Good Nutrition with Family Peace. It may help you put some of your concerns in perspective and keep the peace at home. Your son needs his obviously smart mom more than he needs a "food policewoman" -- and you will probably be much less stressed not taking on that extra burden as well.

ND Women's Swimming: Irish compete in Nationals
Michael Todisco | Tuesday, December 7, 2010
After a three-week layoff, Notre Dame traveled to Columbus, Ohio, last weekend to compete in the U.S Nationals. With 228 points, the Irish finished third out of 16 collegiate teams in the competition behind perennial powers California (556) and USC (495). The diving team competed at a separate event, earning a pair of top-10 finishes at the Hawkeye Invitational at Iowa.
The Irish had not competed since defeating Utah Nov. 12.
On the second day of Nationals, senior All-American Amywren Miller led the Irish with a victory in the B-final of the 50-yard freestyle. Miller finished with a personal-best time of 22.65.
On the final day in Columbus, senior All-American Samantha Maxwell finished in ninth place for the Irish in the A-final of the 100 breaststroke. With a time of 1:00.53, Maxwell posted her fastest time of the season. Maxwell also earned a sixth-place finish in the A-final of the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:11.06, the fourth-fastest time in program history.
Senior captain Katie Casey, freshman Lauren Stauder and sophomore Kim Holden also reached the finals in their events. Stuader finished seventh in the C-final of the 100 breaststroke, Casey earned ninth in the B-final of the 100-yard fly and Holden grabbed a fifth-place finish in the C-final of the 100-yard fly.
Stauder had another solid effort on Sunday, earning a first-place finish in the C-final of the 200-yard breaststroke.
Casey said that the team's strong showing at Nationals puts the team in position for success at the NCAA Championships.
"Finishing third overall for women's collegiate teams sets us up well for NCAA competition," she said. "This gives us great momentum and positive attitudes going into conference which will ultimately lead to great swims to qualify us to NCAAs."
On the second day at the Hawkeye Invitational, Notre Dame earned two top-10 finishes in diving. In the 1-meter event, senior Heidi Grossman earned fifth with a score of 271.95, and sophomore Jenny Chiang (266.10) placed sixth.
Next on the schedule for the Irish is a trip to Hawaii toward the tail end of the holiday break in order to train for the spring season.
"We have two full weeks in Hawaii, so we will have time to get great training in as well as some fun," Casey said. "Training in a warm and sunny environment allows us to be happy while we are having really hard practices. [The] training trip also gives us time to bond as a team in the pool and on the beach."
Notre Dame's next competition will come during that trip, when the Irish face off against Hawaii in a dual meet Jan. 4.

(CBS News) -- Authorities say a tornado that severely damaged a mobile home park southeast of Oklahoma City killed a 79-year-old man whose body was found in an open area of the neighborhood.
Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth also said that six people who lived in the mobile home park were injured. Between 30 and 35 homes had significant damage, and number of frame homes in the neighborhood also sustained damage.
For days, forecasters had been warning about the possibility of tornadoes from a weekend storm, and emergency responders as far north as Minnesota and as far south as Texas were keeping a close eye on the powerful system pushing eastward and northward through the nation's breadbasket.
Mobile users, click here to watch
Forecasters say a supercell of thunderstorms packing baseball-sized hail, heavy rain, and tornadoes could do a lot of damage, CBS News correspondent Anna Werner reports.
CBS News meteorologist Jeff Berardelli reports the greatest risk is across Oklahoma, Kansas and into parts of Missouri. Watches and warnings are ongoing.
"I knew it was coming," said Randy Grau, who huddled with his wife and two young boys in their Edmond's home's safe room when the tornado hit. He said he peered out his window as the weather worsened and believed he saw a flock of birds heading down the street.
"Then I realized it was swirling debris. That's when we shut the door of the safe room, said Grau, adding that they sheltered in the room for 10 minutes.
In Wichita, Kan., a tornado touched down near Mid-Content Airport on the city's southwest side shortly before 4 p.m., knocking out power to 7,500 homes and businesses but bypassing the most populated areas of Kansas' biggest city.
"At this point, there are very few reports of damage and no reports of fatalities or injuries, and we're very grateful for that," said Sedgwick County Emergency Management Director Randy Duncan.
In Oklahoma, aerial television news footage showed homes that appeared to have suffered significant damage northeast of Oklahoma City. Some outbuildings appeared to have been leveled, and some homes' roofs or walls had been knocked down.
"When I first drove into the neighborhood, I didn't see any major damage until I pulled into the front of my house," said Csabe Mathe, of Edmond, who found a part of his neighbor's fence in his swimming pool. "My reaction was: I hope insurance pays for the cleaning."
"I typically have two trash cans, and now I have five in my driveway."
The Storm Prediction Center had been warning about severe weather in the region since Wednesday, and on Friday, it zeroed in on Sunday as the day the storm system would likely pass through.
"They've been calling for this all day," Edmond resident Anita Wright said after riding out the twister in an underground shelter. She and her husband Ed emerged from their hiding place to find uprooted trees, downed limbs and damaged gutters in their home.
In Katie Leathers' backyard, the family's trampoline was tossed through a section of fence and a giant tree uprooted.
"I saw all the trees waving, and that's when I grabbed everyone and got into two closets," Leathers said. "All these trees just snapped."
One Texas family is still digging out from a tornado that touched down near their Granbury home last week, Werner reports.
Wednesday night, as the tornado swirled around the house, Bobi Parsons huddled in a bathtub with her 16-year-old son and her husband Eddie, as an older son took cover with a friend in the bathroom next door.
When they emerged, the only thing left standing was the two bathrooms. The rest of the house was gone.
"I broke down because you know, I looked around and it was just amazing that, you know, all of this, this wiring and no electricity fell and hit my kids," Bobi's husband, Eddie, told Werner. "They were okay, you know. It was amazing. Just to see that god put his arms around these two walls, you know, and saved -- I mean He kept us safe."

The first hints of fall are here: the chill in the early morning air, a few yellow leaves on trees in Lakeside Park, and kids heading back to school. While the kiddos may be dreading the end of summer break and the return to class, I love this time of year. I find myself reading more non-fiction as the days get longer and the leaves turn. Hints of fall just make me want to learn something new! Libraries often are called places of "lifelong learning." What does that even mean?
Fond du Lac Public Library's Storytimes for children 12 months to 5 years old start September 13, no registration necessary. Parents and kids can drop in at their convenience. The three Storytimes are broken down by age group:
Pulitzer Prize winner David Maraniss will discuss his book, "When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi," at the Windhover Center for the Arts on Thursday, October 13.
Maraniss will discuss his book with Fond du Lac Reporter Managing Editor Mike Mentzer at a free gathering at 7 p.m.
The Green Bay Press-Gazette has a unique relationship with the Green Bay Packers. The home-town newspaper is as up close and personal as you can get with the historic franchise, and this closeness is readily apparent in "Back Home Again: A Photographic Journey of Green Bay's 2010 Season."
While reading The Informationist by Taylor Stevens I was struck by how this thriller has some of the same aspects of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I think people who enjoyed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo would also enjoy The Informationist.
Financial Aid for Your College Adventure, a free Money Smart U class, will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 30, in the lower level of the Fond du Lac Public Library. College-bound students and their parents can get the scoop on everything they need to know about financial aid: what it is, the responsibilities that come with it, the types available, how to apply and how it's awarded.
Interviewing: Selling Yourself Effectively to Potential Employers will give job seekers the tools they need to ace the interview at 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, August 25, in the McLane Meeting Room in the lower level of the Fond du Lac Public Library. The Job Smart U class is free.
James Patterson has numerous fans out there, and I count myself as one of them. I just finished reading Now You See Her, one of his latest thrillers, written in collaboration with author Michael Ledwidge. What a perfect summer read. I read it in one day! Imagine being a young and carefree 18 year old. You are having the time of your life on spring break in Key West with your best friends, and then in an instant your entire life changes forever. That is exactly what happened to poor Jeanine.
The Fond du Lac Public Library asked, and it has received. After announcing that it needed to raise $40,000 from the community to open an historic branch location, the library has surpassed its goal in just eight weeks.
"This is just phenomenal," said library Director Ken Hall. "We now have the funds to open and furnish what will be a real asset to our community. We're bowled over and very grateful."
The Fond du Lac Public Library satellite location at the Rosendale Community Center will close; its last day of operation will be Friday, August 19.
The satellite – a parked bookmobile – had been operating at that location since February 2010. Previously, Rosendale was visited by the traveling bookmobile.

Thinly slice the tuna steak (sashimi-style). Place the thin layers of tuna on a plate. Remove the rind and pith of 1/2 an orange, then slice and quarter. Remove the rind and pith of 1/2 a grapefruit, then slice and quarter. Lay the orange and grapefruit quarters on top of the tuna.
Juice the remaining orange half into a small bowl and whisk in the soy sauce and lemon juice. Drizzle the sauce over the tuna and citrus. Sprinkle the tuna with chopped mint and diced jalapenos.
In a small saute pan, heat the oil over high heat and quickly fry the rice noodles for 1 minute. Sprinkle them over the top and serve.

Virtuoso guitarists are in abundance each year during the Chicago Flamenco Festival, but in 2004, one musician transcended the others.
Making his belated Chicago debut in Preston Bradley Hall of the Chicago Cultural Center, Gerardo Nunez often sounded as if two or three musicians were playing at once. So many musical lines and lushly articulated chords issued from his acoustic guitar, that he clearly was pushing at the technical limits of his instrument.

Mark 12
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Romans 12
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has denied a defense request to lower the $3-million bail for a Rowland Heights physician charged with second-degree murder in the overdose deaths of three patients.
Hsiu-Ying "Lisa" Tseng, 43, has been in jail for a year awaiting trial on charges that she recklessly prescribed powerful painkillers to young patients seeking to abuse drugs.
In a 23-page bail motion, Tseng's attorneys described the effects of her incarceration on her sons, one of whom started elementary school while his mother was in the county's lockup.
When Tseng was arrested March 1, 2012, her sons, ages 6 and 9, thought she "had taken a short trip to China on work-related matters. They believe that she is still in China," according to the motion. Tseng has not seen them since her arrest to "spare them the trauma of seeing her in jail," and they have begun to have behavioral problems, the motion states. Tseng's attorney, Tracy Green, added her client is not a threat to the public because she surrendered her medical license.

But lately, when it comes to immigration, the lines between federal, state, and local authorities are becoming blurred. Across the country, some state and local governments are choosing to opt out of immigration enforcement; still others are allowing immigration enforcement to spill over into regular policing. In New Orleans, where the sheriff's office and police department have been under scrutiny of the Justice Department, some say this spillover may be eroding the very safety our laws are intended to promote.

Oh hello, weekend!
Happy Friday, all! I'm so excited about this weekend for a couple of reasons.
1. Tonight Sarah and I are going to see Taylor Swift! Believe it or not I am the biggest country music fan. I love it. I especially love old country! I don't know if Taylor is even really considered country, but regardless I just adore her and her music. And I should probably add that if she plays "Never Grow Up" I will be a crying mess- that songs gets me every single time. I'm also so excited for a fun night with my best friend. We haven't gotten to hang out since her wedding a few weeks ago and I miss her more than anything.
2. Saturday night is Michelle and Chad's wedding reception! They had a small ceremony in Northern California over the summer but are having a fun party Saturday evening to do it all over again for the people who couldn't make it. I'm looking forward to celebrating their marriage and having fun with good friends.
Henry and I headed out to his playgroup right now, but before I go, I thought I'd let you know that I finally gave in...and got a Pinterest account. And I love it! Feel free to add me.
Have a great weekend!

Bayonetta could be coming to PC.
The weekend was a mess of actual fake news and practical "jokes" that mostly kept me away from the internet – thanks April Fool's day – but one joke is just perfect enough to be awesome… and amazingly, it seems there may a grain of truth in it, too.
Sega released a free, fully-playable Bayonetta game on Steam, imaginatively entitled 8-Bit Bayonetta. The cute 2D action game even shipped with achievements, and it's these that have led fans to a hitherto hidden site on the sega.com website.
What's there on the Sega.com minisite? Very little, actually. But boost your screen brightness and you should see the faintest outline of Bayonetta, plus a countdown clocking counting to… well, who knows. It expires some time on April 10 or 11, depending upon your timezone, after which I guess we'll be put out of our misery.
Could this be confirmation Bayonetta is finally coming to PC, and that's why the free game launched on Steam? Or perhaps it's news – at last – of a third installment to the franchise?
Guess we'll find out in roughly eight days time, eh?

The house has all flat surfaces, wider doors into the bathrooms for wheel chair access, and a bath tub and shower that is much more accessible than our own at home. We had furniture already in The Cottage; some left from my Mom, some of our own extra odds and ends, some of Steve's Mom's odds and ends, so we are already set up pretty well. We do have to haul water, because we are only set up on a cistern. Between Luke and Eddie and our neighbor, they got the water tank on the back of the truck again, then Luke and I got the water loaded and into the cistern. I am trying to learn some of the tasks that Steve has always done, and I am a little slow. Thankfully the boys are helping.
There have been all kinds of other little tasks that keep life running smoothly, such as can openers and other kitchen utensils, washing machines, sheets, towels, clothes, and personals which have all kept me running back and forth between houses through the week, as well as taking care of Steve and running errands for wheel chairs, medications, supplements and so on. We have had the most amazing help from family, friends, neighbors and church. I don't think you can truly realize the love and goodness in peoples hearts until you are the recipient of such kindness and generosity. What would we do without our loved ones who have given to us in every way conceivable. Thank you all; family, friends, neighbors, blogging friends, for the help, prayers, meals, love, words of encouragement, and more... Wow... such amazing blessings. Some very dear friends came here yesterday, and brought food, encouragement, and built us a ramp from our porch so I could get Steve and wheelchair out the door and into the van and to his doctor's appointment on Monday. Phew. Thank you guys. It is very difficult to express the emotion I have felt over all these things, but gratitude and love just over flow.
Eddie and Luke are holding down the fort at the other house. Yes, what a strange family we are. We now live in two houses. The boys have been wonderful at keeping things clean for me. I told them "this house is like a sinking ship... we have to keep bailing water (pick up and keep the dishes clean), and if we stop, it will start sinking again". That is truly the way it feels to me (keeping up with house work)... it never just floats along clean and lovely for a while, it must be constantly bailed or we are sunk. So they have kept it going. I pop in and help out, and do laundry and cook up a meal, etc... but they are doing great.
Eddie wanted to go to all the "Homecoming" activities at school this weekend (bonfire, game, formal etc..) So between Luke, Grandma Jo and I, we were all able to get him there and back at all the various hours for all the various activities. He looked very handsome in his blackshirt and tie, and came and chatted with us before and after yesterday. Incidently, I have loved seeing the personalities of the boys during these difficult times. Luke, with his quiet, cooking and cleaning and worried looks wanting to help all he can, but never much of a conversationalist. Eddie, fluctuating between normal teenage concerns of "how am I gonna get to my game" to "Pam, I 'm kinda worried about Steve... no one is up there with him... Grandma Jo just left, and you gotta get back up there..." on the phone to me when I went to do an errand the other day. I have had to leave Steve for an hour or two here and there; with phone and walkie talkie in hand, knowing my mother in law and neighbors were right here to pop in if needed, but Eddie didn't like that. So Sweet. As a side note, Our last three kids came to us at the ages of 10, 14 and 15... (now 20, 19 and 15) and have always called us "Pam" and "Steve"... something we have grown very used to. To their friends and others, they speak of us as My Mom, or My Dad, but at home it is as I said.
My other kids are setting dates for those visits coming up; starting with Elizabeth who will arrive with little Winston a week from tomorrow. A little after that will be Nathan and family, and a little after that, will be Marie and family. All we need is Russell and Benjamin, who are out on deployments with the Navy, then we would have all our chickies under our wings. Such delightful prospects.
So today is truly a day of rest for us. We are feeling fairly caught up on urgent things. Steve has felt much more himself yesterday and today. I put on a pot of coffee and can hear it brewing; such a comforting sound to me. One of the luxuries I treasure in my life is sipping coffee in bed early on a Saturday morning with Steve and dreaming dreams together. We skim the computer looking at houses, motorcycles, airplanes, vacation spots, goats, horses, cows, chickens, and barns. How is that for eclectic. It is our cozy wake up moment before the world creeps in and responsibilities start hammering at the door. I love those moments. Perhaps we will have a moment like that this morning; peaceful, quiet rest. I realize this is a long post, but it has been very relaxing to me to just sit and type and re-cap the week, so I hope it hasn't been too much for you all at one time. Blessings to you all this week. I will be popping in for a visit with you as the moments open up.

Higgins and Gaule NY Sports Stars
November 19, 2008
By Eugene Kyne
THE New York Men's GAA selected its all-stars for 2008 this past week with teams being selected for junior football, senior hurling and football.
An annual event now in its fourth year, it rewards the premier players in all three divisions for the season gone by. While certainly the players are more than deserving for their work throughout the year, the function itself has been poorly attended in the last couple of years, and one would hope that this year's winners will embrace the function with open arms as it may be the last year of the awards if they are not a success.
The awards are presented each year to home-based players only, which means that the summer players are not eligible. The home based players are the grassroots of the association, and this season they put on some brilliant displays for the spectators at the Mecca.
Kerry, on the way to their fourth title in five years, were dominant in the playoffs with an outstanding defense that was rewarded with three players getting selected as well as one of their forwards.
Down, who stormed through the divisions over the last three years, have three winners, with keeper Mark Kelly a contender for player of the year. Pat Mahoney of Cork turned back the years with some outstanding fielding, while Dennis McCarthy was another player of the year contender.
Some players on the cusp of selection were Shane Clifford (Kerry), Declan Garvey, (St. Barnabas) and Liam O'Donnell (Four Provinces), Conor Downey (Derry), Fergal Shannon (Down), Roy Sweeney (Donegal) and Adrian O'Connor (Leitrim).
When it came time to pick player of the year a couple of players jumped off the pages of notes of the senior selectors, the local scribes in New York, Kieran O'Sullivan and Frank Brady, and this scribe from the Irish Voice — Declan Griffin (Kerry), the aforementioned McCarthy and Alan Foley (Leitrim) to name three.
However, one man was tremendous in all his outings, whether playing with New York or with a host of 60-day sanctions for his club. Even when Four Provinces had a skeleton crew against Cork in one outing he still managed to fire over eight points from frees and play.
For the second year in a row Mike Higgins (Four Provinces) is New York's senior football player of the year. Last year he shared the title with Aiden Power; this season he is the sole winner and deservedly so.
On top of the square or further out the field where his trademark passes thread the eye of the needle, he was outstanding throughout the year. The rest of the team was as follows.
Senior Football:
1. Mark Kelly (Down): Third year in a row that the Down custodian has been superb, saves at opportune times helped his side to a brilliant year. 2. Dennis McCarthy (Cork): Unbelievable year for the former duel player. He focused completely on football in his first year with Cork and was a marking phenom.
3. Eugene O'Hagan (Down): The trademark bursts out from the back are a common site for O'Hagan. He is also a dogged marker.
4. Alan Foley (Leitrim): The premier marking defender in New York, he was a serious challenger for player of the year in both junior for Astoria and senior for his home county Leitrim.
5. Niall Corbett (Kerry): The fourth senior medal for Corbett as he was captain fantastic for the Kingdom.
6. Declan Griffin (Kerry): The Feale Rangers clubman stayed around after his clubs trip to the Big Apple, and he was a revelation for Kerry at center field or number six. Another who was close to player of the year.
7. Anthony Glacken (Kerry): A junior all-star for the last two years, Anthony can play in any of the six defensive slots at this level with equal results.
8. Barry Quinn (Four Provinces): The big man was a consistent performer throughout the year for Four Provinces, be it carrying the ball or pulling it from the sky.
9. Pat Mahoney (Cork): A brilliant year for the long time servant to New York football. His display in the first half of the county semifinal contest against Kerry was one of the best seen in the park bar none this year.
10. Mark Dobbins (Down): Definitely the straw that stirs the Down drink despite all the big names from Ireland for the Mournemen. He covers acres of ground and is always looking for a teammate.
11. Mike Higgins (Four Provinces): Another banner year for Higgins, dominant here or on the square.
12. Nicky Dineen (Cork): A free taking expert and also a force in open play. Can find a teammate with the pass or calmly slot over his own. Clinical off the carpet.
13. Dermie Foley (Kerry): With a host of stars in the forward line for Kerry, Foley was his usual workhorse self as he did a mountain of work both on and off the ball.
14. Paddy Smyth (Cavan): Tomo, as he is known in Gaelic Park circles, moved around a lot more this year than in former years. He is deadly in front of goal, and his strike for Cavan against Four Provinces was outstanding.
15. Donal Hartnett (Leitrim): Dodo was clinical all year from frees and play. He took over the mantle of free taker for Leitrim and never looked back as he also starred in the open field.
The breakdown then by club was as follows:
Kerry-4, Down-3, Cork-3, Leitrim-2, Four Provinces-2, Cavan- 1.
Meanwhile, hurling in New York is going through a lean period numbers wise, but the standard has been tremendous for the last five years. The large amount of players available from Ireland has allowed for serious quality for the four clubs involved in the championship.
Offaly have the largest number (six) in the final all-star team and rightly so as they are the back to back champions. The team certainly looks formidable on paper, and one hopes that they again get an opportunity to represent their adopted county in the near future in the New York jersey.
The player of the year for 2008 is Richie Gaule (Offaly). The foundation that the defense was built upon and around the Kilkenny native had another year to add to his legend as a rock under the dropping ball.
With hurleys breaking and pulling in the sky he is coolness personified and he inspires his teammates. He had some serious contenders for the award, though, with Kieran Bergin (Tipperary), Donal Broderick and Darren Reilly (Offaly) all impressive throughout the year.
Senior Hurling:
1. Thomas O'Meara (Tipperary): As fiery as they come, O'Meara is a real crowd pleaser with his bursts from goal.
2. Seamus Pender (Galway): A dogged corner back, Pender was constantly marking a top gun this year and always gave a run for his money.
3. Brendan Blackwell (New Jersey/Kilkenny): A terrific defender for the combination side, he was one of the reasons that his club was so close to a final berth.
4. Conor Hayes (NJ/K): A brilliant addition to New Jersey, Hayes is a Tipp native who loves to go forward.
5. Kevin McKay (Offaly): McKay is equally at home at center field or wing back and has been an excellent servant to Offaly.
6. Richie Gaule (Offaly): Player of the year Gaule is a rock at number six. His trademark catches and gigantic clearances are a joy to behold.
7. John Madden (Tipperary): Talk of retirement goes out the window with this player. He has a Junior B football medal and another county final appearance in hurling. Outstanding.
8. Dave Loughnane (Tipperary): A fireball in the middle, and the bigger the opponent the better as he loves the challenge.
9. Darren Reilly (Offaly): The Loughrea man had an outstanding year for the champs. He did whatever role he was asked and always dominated.
10. Donal Broderick (Offaly): The only duel star of the 2008 season, the blond bombshell chipped in with an average of four points a game from play.
11. Kieran Bergin (Tipperary): Another superb season for the kid. He can play anywhere, and even when Canning was in town for Tipp, Bergin outshone him.
12. Brian McNaughton (Offaly): Another reason that Offaly are champs. A consistent performer throughout the year in a variety of positions.
13. Eunon McKillop (Offaly): A goal in the county final was typical of the Antrim native. He had the knack all year.
14: Ronan Sheedy (Galway): The second Galway man on the team, Sheedy never gave up in any outing, and his brace of goals against Ger Mahon and Tipp were a staple diet for the big man.
15. Roy Henley (NJ/K): The wee man is another live wire on the field. A potent point scorer from either wing, he also starred for Rangers with the big ball.
Offaly-6, Tipperary- 4, NJK -3, Galway-2.
With four cups up for graps this season in junior football and three different teams going home with silverware, Offaly, Rockland and Tyrone had the selection of this year's all-stars in the biggest division in New York. Selection was left to chairman Terry Connaughton, Tom Lilly, Seamus Dooley and Denis Twomey. When they were finished 10 clubs were represented in the final 15 selection.
Offaly who took home the Junior B title, had stars in John Fitzpatrick and midfielder Vinnie Gavin, who also won a senior medal with Kerry.
Tyrone, who won both the John Brady Knockout Cup and the Junior A championship, had a full back and full forward. Gerard McCullough, who is a real find and will have an inside track on number three for New York in the Connaught Championship next season. Barry McElduff fired four goals home in the junior final and he now adds all-star to man of the match accolades.
Astoria Gaels chime in with two awards, with county keeper Pa Ryan with his booming kick outs and Sean Munnelly both getting nods. It is Munnelly's second award.
Armagh, who returned to the junior semifinals for the fifth year in a row before falling to Tyrone, gets three nods, with Kieran McGeeney, Lonon Magiure and Justin O'Halloran all getting nods on the heels of their successful season.
Players of the year in the Junior A and B sections are yet to be announced, and it might be a good idea to leave that nugget for the night of the awards as a form of suspense for the evening.
Junior Football: 1 Pa Ryan (Astoria Gaels),
2 John Fitzpatrick (Offaly), 3 Gerard McCullough (Tyrone) 4. Lonon Maguire (Armagh), 5 Derek Courtney (Rangers), 6 Dermot Keane (Mayo), 7 Justin O'Halloran (Armagh), 8 Kieran McGeeney (Armagh), 9 Vinnie Gavin (Offaly), 10 Declan Reilly (Dublin), 11 C.J. Molloy (Donegal), 12 Sean Munnelly (Astoria Gaels), 13 Michael Travers (Roscommon), 14 Barry McElduff (Tyrone), 15 Donal Broderick (St. Raymond's).
