This past Thursday, in the Wortmann Ballroom, Roanoke College invited two guests to speak about what is and is not rape. The event, entitled "Sex Signals" also discussed stereotypes and "codes" among both men and women in social scenarios.
The speakers opened up with some witty banter and warned the crowd that we may be called upon for input on several of their demonstrations/acts.
For the first 20 minutes, the pair acted out a series of social interactions you might find in a bar. The first act was a stereotypical bar jock hitting on a non-receptive woman who was waiting on some friends. The scene was pretty funny and they continuously asked the audience for how each person should act.
The second scene was a little but tamer, the guy performer was using some great pickup lines that were shouted out by the audience. "Are you a beaver? Cause dam!" was thrown out to open the second scene, the crowd voted that the women act mysterious and make the man try hard to keep the conversation going.
The posters that advertised for the event portrayed it as "sex signals" but that wasn't really what the majority of the talk was about. The next 60 minutes of the talk focused around what defines rape.
The performers acted out a Jerry Springer-esq show that interviewed a man who was accused of rape. He told the story from his point of view, but we never heard it from the woman's POV. His story was very stereotypical and very common on campuses across the nation.
He studied with the woman in the library and afterwards he walked her back to her dorm. He then invited her to a party he was throwing at his house the following day. At the party, he talked to the woman, and they both had a few drinks. She suggested that the pair of them go up to his room and get away from the party. He obliged and when they got to the room they started undressing. Once they were both fully undressed the woman pushed away from him. He waited a few moments but started having sex with her. As he started she said "stop", but didn't fight any further so he continued. This was the end of his story.
The next 45 minutes was basically dedicated to explaining how this scenario is rape. We even got little cards that said "STOP" that we could hold up when we thought the scenario crossed the line. Unfortunately, after using the cards once, that was the end of the interactive portion.
Overall, the entirety of the talk covered common sense and I didn't learn anything from the talk because it was so basic. I felt the talk was meant for High School students as the talk had less depth than a kiddie pool.
This talk usually comes around to the campus every year. If you feel the need to brush up on your definition of rape and watch some moderately funny skits, look for the posters next year.

TV doc Rosemary Leonard has had to deal with some demanding - as well as some downright bizarre - cases during her 25 years on the frontline as a GP, she tells Hannah Stephenson
The English
There's not much that surprises BBC Breakfast's resident doctor Rosemary Leonard these days. During her time as a GP, she's delivered a baby to an unsuspecting teenage mother in her surgery, tackled an octogenarian nymphomaniac and treated an eco-protester with appendicitis.
But one of the most frightening events was being held captive by a man while on a house call.
Dr Leonard had been called to a council flat to see a seven-year-old girl with a cold and slight temperature, but on arrival the girl's aggressive father demanded a paediatrician. Despite explaining that paediatricians don't do home visits, the father would not be appeased.
"My offer of a fast ambulance fell on deaf ears. This man wasn't letting me go anywhere and, to ram the point home, he violently bolted the bedroom door."
Now trapped in the room with the girl and her terrified mother, Dr Leonard spotted her chance of escape and jumped through the bedroom window onto the grass and ran to her car. When the police were informed, they arrested the father on a charge of unlawful imprisonment, for which he received a 12-month jail sentence.
But it's not the first - and probably not the last - time the doctor has been threatened.
"Someone once thumped me in the tummy when I was pregnant. The patient was angry," she shrugs.
"With all GPs the thing that scares us is violence. Only last week I had a patient who was screaming and shouting at me who was drug-crazed. That was really scary."
Some of Dr Leonard's more unusual cases are introduced in her latest book, Doctor, Doctor: Incredible True Tales From A GP's Surgery, including that of a lonely ex-coal miner with a chronic chest condition and the heartbreaking story about a mother's refusal to let her child have the MMR vaccination.
The TV doctor, who has presented TV series for the BBC, Sky and Living, has treated hundreds of patients over the years but when her own son William, then aged six, was ill, she failed to notice.
"William had a cough for about a month and I said, 'You've just got a cough, you're not ill'," she recalls.
"It was an appalling wake-up call when he came in unable to breathe. He was obviously having an asthma attack.
"I felt mortified that I could have been so negligent about my own son's health."
She says she often felt she should have spent more time with her two sons, admitting: "Getting the balance right is every working mother's guilt trip."
Today, she does three days a week at her south London surgery and the rest of the time is spent writing or doing media work.
"Patients are much more demanding," she says, "though we are always trying to be there as family doctors, 25 years ago we were less accessible than we are now.
"They want results straight away and aren't prepared to wait. There's a fine line between reasonable and unreasonable and more and more step over it.
"Far more patients are less respectful than they used to be. They can be angry, demanding and rude.
"Some people have unrealistic expectations, when the average GP is trying to look after 1,500 people. Some patients don't realise they are not the only one. Often those who are the least sick are the most demanding." GPs are expected to be a cure-all, she maintains. "I still say to people, 'If I had a cure for the common cold, I wouldn't be sitting in this surgery, I'd be a millionaire.' It's unrealistic expectations of what we can and cannot do."
The internet has sparked more patient awareness but also more fear, she says.
"People do Google their symptoms. Whenever they do that, they latch on to the most serious diagnosis. The internet doesn't tell you the most likely diagnosis - for that you need your GP."
Privacy is hard to maintain as Dr Leonard lives near her surgery, which means patients knock on her door from time to time.
"If somebody's got chest pain and it's a Sunday, I'm not going to say 'Go away', but it happens less now.'' She believes the increasing number of TV medical programmes - both fiction and non-fiction - have gone some way towards raising awareness of a number of health issues.
"But to make good drama you've got to have the unusual. A lot of my book is the unusual and it's true that real life can be stranger than fiction.
"Like the story I remember of one young Bangladeshi girl and her husband who was trying to get her pregnant through her tummy button."
Dr Leonard tries to be a good patient - although she confesses that her routine smear and mammogram are overdue - but her no-nonsense approach with patients has served her well.
"You do have to be tough. I find it easier to be tough now that I'm older. As a young doctor to turn round and say 'I don't know' can be quite difficult because a patient might think, 'She's no good, she hasn't done enough training.'
"But now, I turn round and say, 'I haven't got a clue but I will try to find out', and patients respect me."

text: Back before television they had sitcoms on radio. Jack Benny, Burns & Allen, Amos & Andy, etc. Those shows had to rely on the listener's imagination to get laughs. Cheers was a show that with a few tweaks to the script could have been a radio show. There weren't a lot of sight gags on that show. The comedy was in the dialogue. Sam & Diane's repartee, Carla's insults, Norm's entrance, Cliff's blathering, Coach's "confusion" all didn't need props or the viewer being able to see what was going on to get a laugh. However I think Seinfeld was a slightly better show. We've all experienced the nuances of every day life that they built episodes around like who's a "close talker", wondering if a well endowed girl is "real", seeing the movie instead of reading the book, being less than honest with women in order for them to go out with you, crazy friends like Kramer, forgetting a date's name. Most of the plots on Cheers were standard sitcom plots but the writing made the show stand out. Seinfeld wouldn't hold up as good if it were a radio show since it would lose most of Kramer's appeal among other things. But I think Seinfeld was a better show because we could relate to it better.

Hi, what's the cheapest way to get to Heathrow for an early flight? It's a Monday, and the flight leaves at 7. I think the first train on the Piccadilly line doesn't get in until 6:40 am or something (unless I read the schedule wrong).
The Heathrow Express starts around 5 am, so that should be enough time. But I still have to get to Paddington. So would that be a taxi or a night bus? Any other ideas? Thanks!

Early Heathrow Flight
Hi, what's the cheapest way to get to Heathrow for an early flight? It's a Monday, and the flight leaves at 7. I think the first train on the Piccadilly line doesn't get in until 6:40 am or something (unless I read the schedule wrong).
Report Abuse
Never mind, I found a flight that leaves at 8:55. But please feel free to answer for future reference, thanks!
Report Abuse
For early morning flights we always book a car service www.justairports.com I think they are about the same as 2 tickets on the Heathrow Express and you dont have to worry about schlepping luggage.
Report Abuse
As jamikins says, use a prebooked car service or alternatively stay overnight at or near Heathrow. If you get a cheap deal it may work out the same price. There is the Yotel inside the airport as well as others and numerous chain hotels nearby. I'd book one near the tube station to save having to pay for the Hoppa bus.
We've stayed at the Yotel inside Gatwick, the Premier Inn which is 15 mins walk from Gatwick and the Jurys Inn, a short tube ride from Heathrow at Hatton Cross (?) and it does make the next morning very easy and stress free.
Report Abuse
I'm in the camp that would rather spend extra time in an airport terminal, having arrived a bit early, than cut it close, panic in traffic or a long queue at security or check-in, and run any risk of missing those not-exactly-frequent transatlantic flights. So don't underestimate the time it involves getting from London to LHR and to your gate. They aren't kidding when they suggest at LEAST 2 hours after you simply arrive at LHR to allow for getting through everything. And it takes at LEAST an hour via tube or car service. So unless you like the adrenelin rush of that dash to the airport, I'd urge you to leave London before 6 am if you booked that 8:55 flight. And I'd also recommend justairports car service, although we also "did" the Tube one time, but it wasn't for a real early flight.
Alternatively, as KayF suggests, spend that last night somewhere near the airport (I've twice stayed at the Jurys Inn mentioned above and it's fine; plenty of others, too, to check prices of if you find yourself in similar circumstances in the future.)
Report Abuse
Usually when I have a really early flight, I priceline a LHR hotel for the last night and head out there after dinner or a show. You don't lose any usable 'London time' since you'd have to leave so early no matter which mode of travel in the morning. LHR hotels on PL are a major bargain.
If I must stay in London the last night for some reason,I book a car service since there is essentially no traffic in the early AM.
Report Abuse
Jumping into this thread, we too have a 7 AM flight from Heathrow. Being in texasbookworm's camp regarding early arrivals at an airport, we are splurging on the previous night at the Sofitel at Terminal 5. (I'm not a morning person. Being able to just walk into the terminal is a great relief.)
But is Heathrow all that busy at 5 or 6 AM? Do you really have to be there 2 hours early?
Report Abuse
Heathrow is usually incredibly busy, we used to live within view of the flight path and it was about one flight coming in every minute. But you could strike a relatively quiet period. We have spent an hour waiting in an immigration arrival queue and another time walked straight to the head of the queue (we kept wondering what had happened to all the people). I would definitely allow plenty of time and get through security early.
Report Abuse
First, remember that the Hammersmith Flyover's currently closed, and that's likely to hit alternative road routes as well. So be very, very careful (adding at least an hour, I'd say, as long as the closure lasts, though you might get away with just an extra 15 mins westbound before 0500) about how long ANY road journey from the centre to Heathrow takes
Under current circs, in 111op's shoes I'd get a cab to Paddington, then the HEX, unless I were happy about wasting the previous evening in an airport hotel (which I wouldn't be, but...)
For departing flights, from 0600 is about as busy as Heathrow ever gets: if you're going to the Continent for the day, the time difference means you really need to be on a flight out before 0730 to get a day's work in - as you do if you want to be in a Glasgow or Dublin office at the same time as local colleagues.
The mix between European and intercontinental flights is pretty similar in all terminals, so the early morning crush is almost universal. But queues move quite a bit faster than later on since almost all travellers are regulars: you don't seem to get the confused families with three prams or the dunderheaded tourists claiming not to know about liquids that hold up security queues by midmorning.
Unless your airline insists otherwise, I wouldn't bother getting to the checkin desk more than 75 mins before departure for a European flight. But, if travelling by road, getting from the end of the M4 to a terminal dropoff can be agonisingly slow even at 0500 (those regulars are typically averse to public transport or live in suburbs where buses and trains don't penetrate): one more reason for always going out by train or tube.
Report Abuse
Oh -- I didn't know about the Flyover being closed (is it for construction). How long is it planned to be shut?
That definitely would affect drive times . . .
Report Abuse
They claim it will be re-opened for the Olympics...
Report Abuse
Wow -- that must be a mess!
Report Abuse
"They claim it will be re-opened for the Olympics"
Read very carefully, and you'll see they don't.
Boris (who's got an election to win between now and the Olympics) actually said "work is already beginning on strengthening the flyover so that it is fully operational well ahead of the 2012 Games." Boris did both epistemology and Greek composition for his degree, a course designed to enable its graduates to compose prose that'll confuse the plebs.
The Hammersmith Flyover is scheduled as part of the Olympic Route Network, with - according to TfL - Games Lanes (the euphemism for the Zil Lanes, a concept previously found only in unaccountable dictatorships) operating from mid-July till mid-September. "Fully operational" doesn't mean open to the taxpaying public: the official plan is that the IOC scum (and the contemptible journalists at their coat-tails) get the road to themselves during the Olympics (Can't possibly be expected to use the Tube, can they?)
What Boris is actually promising is that he's sure we'll get the road back by mid-September - four months after he's had his election.

Thanks for everyone's replies. I'll know where to look if it ever comes up!

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Ask wierd on 2004 Dodge Neon
I have a 04 neon sometimes it will tac out at 2500 an i have to shut the car down an wait 10 15 min before i can start it an again an it is missing like crazy at low rpms i have replaced the coil plz help
Is your check engine light turned on? A shop can connect their scan tool and check for trouble codes on memory. There is a service bulletin for the '04 Neon's that fix a problem with single or multiple cylinder misfires. The repair involves replacing the spark plug and wire on the misfiring cylinder. This may require an update to your PCM (powertrain control module) software as well (may need to visit the dealer for that). I hope this helps

According to a recent AHA (American Hospital Association) survey, which is included in the 2010 edition of AHA Hospital Statistics, the recession continues to impact community hospital operations.
- As unemployment rises, six in 10 hospitals report seeing more uninsured patients in the emergency department and half cite an increased need for health clinics and other subsidized services.
- Nearly half of hospitals report declining margins and one-third report a negative total margin with most finding it hard to access capital, which has resulted in cuts to capital spending for facility upgrades, as well as clinical and information technology projects.
- According to the survey, the continued difficulties in borrowing are particularly worrisome as hospitals scramble to invest in information technology.
- To help stabilize financial performance, more than 80 percent of hospitals are cutting administrative expenses, slightly more than half are reducing staff and 20 percent are curtailing community services.

A low-grade handicap which won't take much winning. Spinning Ridge is only a pound higher than his last winning mark and Mr Fickle has Hughes on board and is less exposed than most. But GREYEMKAY looks the one to beat as he's won two of his four previous starts here, including one on soft ground last year. Daniel Muscutt is good value for his 7lb claim. Guest Book looks best of the rest as though Lordship has form on an easy surface he's been woefully out of sorts this year.
Spinning Ridge (IRE) 16-1 (9-7) Held up towards rear, headway over 1f out, stayed on to 3rd final 100 yards, 3rd of 12, 4 1/2l behind Angel Cake (9-5) at Wolverhampton 7f hcp (6) pol in Jul.
Mr Fickle (IRE) 25-1 (9-6) Towards rear, plugged on final furlong, never a threat, 6th of 12, 8l behind Precision Five (9-4) at Lingfield 1m 2f hcp 0-60 (6) pol in Jul.
Guest Book (IRE) 11-2 (8-9) Slowly into stride, mid-division, outpaced over 2f out, headway under pressure over 1f out, ridden and stayed on inside final furlong, never nearer, 4th of 8, 4 1/2l behind Victorian Number (9-6) at Kempton 7f hcp (0-55) (6) pol in May.
Greyemkay 9-2 (8-12) Towards rear, headway 3f out, ridden and kept on one pace final furlong, 4th of 9, 1 1/2l behind Golden Jubilee (9-11) at Ffos Las 1m 2f hcp 0-60 (6) gf in Jul.
Operettist 20-1 (9-5) Tracked leaders, ridden over 2f out, soon weakened, 12th of 13, 8l behind Young Jackie (9-5) at Lingfield 1m 2f hcp (0-55) (6) pol in Jun.
On The Cusp (IRE) 16-1 (8-7) Always towards rear, last of 13, 22l behind Sofias Number One (9-4) at Southwell 1m hcp 0-65 (6) fbs in May.

IDSs/IPSs that send SNMP traps
I am trying to find open source IDSs/IPSs that can send SNMP traps. The idea behind this is that there will be a centralised system that will be receiving SNMP traps from our Linux servers and will be doing the reporting. I am looking as I write this post to aide, tripwire, chkrootkit, rkhunter and still haven't find a way for them to send notifications with snmp traps...
Any ideas?

Snort used to
I was looking this up in "Snort 2.0" by Syngress and found a plugin that would send SNMP traps. But when I looked for instructions on setting this up, it appears that SNMP support was removed with one of the later releases.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 743265
Cannot open {a BRL rule created in BRMS 5.0} in BRMS 5.2 -- Guided editor is not backward compatible
Last modified: 2011-10-07 09:50:36 EDT
Description of problem:
I have created a simple rule that uses 'multiple' field constraints using Guided editor in BRMS 5.0.2. The important rule source snippet from the WHEN section looks like
> Person( age < 0 || > "127" )
I have exported the repository (see attachments). When I import the repository in BRMS 5.1 or BRMS 5.2.0 up to ER4, I can open the rule with no problem.
In BRMS 5.2.0 ER5, after importing the 5.0.2 repository, this rule cannot be open. 'Loading asset...' message flashes for a bit but nothing else happens. The rule doesn't open, no error message in server log.
I have compared exported XMLs of the broken repository and a working repository both of which contained the same rule and found out there is a change in the internal BRL source of the rule. This change seems to affect rules with multiple field constraints. See (and diff) attached repository exports for the difference in the BRL rule source.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. import broken 5.0.2 repository into BRMS 5.2.0 ER5
2. try opening 'brokenRule', nothing happens
Actual results:
the affected rules cannot be open
Expected results:
the affected rules should open
Created attachment 526240 [details]
Created attachment 526241 [details]
This regression was caused by the recent changes to improve nested accessors (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=724639). The fix was to ensure fields required by the improved nested accessor handling are populated in legacy models (i.e. stored in legacy repositories).
Fix verified.

I taught middle school for 5 years. In April of 2008, my mom, Paula, and I decided to start PAWSitive Strides, because of our love for animals. I couldn't ask for a better job! In addition to my own babies, I feel privileged to be able to spoil and pamper other people's pets!
My daughter and I started PAWSitive Strides to combine our love of pets with our desire to provide quality service to others. We believe in making sure all pets are treated with the same love and attention that they would receive if their owners were home. It makes all of the difference in the world to the pet that is away from its owner. Like my daughter, I also taught for many years and have owned pets throughout my life. My current pets are two rescued dogs. They are part of the family!
Office Team
Hello, my name is Camila. All my life I have grown up around animals. Dogs, fish, birds, even ducklings, and I absolutely love them! I have worked with customer service for quite a few years now. I look forward to speaking to you and helping to meet your needs as well as your pets' needs.

I have always loved animals and I aspire to become a dog trainer and dog rehabilitator. It started out when I first fostered a dog from the SPCA who was caged her entire life. And from that moment on I realized that there are such high degrees of special cases with dogs that 90% of dog trainers couldn't help them. That's when I realized that I wanted to make a difference and help as many cases of aggressive and super fearful dogs as I possibly can. I volunteer with 4 rescues and I save and foster puppies in my spare time. I am willing to put in more effort and devoting most my life to helping dogs.

I really enjoy caring for all my pets and I would love to take care of yours as well. I love animals so much that if you asked me what I wanted to do when I was younger I always said I wanted to become a veterinarian. I now attend Valencia College and plan on doing their nursing program. I can't wait to take care and love your pets!
I was born in Maine and moved to paradise (Florida) in 2000. I love animals and I have always had pets in my life. My two fur kids are rescued tiger-striped cats named Tiki (age 13) and Wasabi (age 8) and they are the center of my world. Pets provide such great companionship and unconditional love! I enjoy playtime with animals, being outside, and find taking dogs for a walk both therapeutic and relaxing. It also helps me get my 10,000 steps in a day! 😉 As a pet parent, I know how important it is to have someone you trust to care for your furbabies when you are away. It would be my pleasure to care for and love your fur kids in your absence and provide you with peace of mind. I look forward to meeting both you and your pets soon!

Etienne Charles Quintet
Mission Jazz
SOhO Restaurant and Music Club
1221 State Street
Santa Barbara, CA, 93101
Doors 6:30 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
Born on the Island of Trinidad in 1983, Etienne Charles defies easy musical categorization. Hailed by New York Times as "an auteur" and by Jazz Times as "A daring improviser who delivers with heart wrenching lyricism." According to Downbeat Magazine "Charles delivers his ebullient improvisations with the elegance of a world-class ballet dancer." Etienne has received critical acclaim for his exciting performances, thrilling compositions and knack for connecting with audiences worldwide. In June 2012, Etienne was awarded with a US Congressional Record for his musical contributions to the citizens of Trinidad & Tobago and the World.
Perhaps more than any other musician of his generation or Eastern Caribbean origin, Etienne brings a careful study of myriad rhythms from the French, Spanish, English and Dutch speaking Caribbean to the table. Crucially, as a soloist, he fully understands the New Orleans trumpet tradition (which is readily discernible in his trademark instrumental swagger) and what famed Crescent City Pianist, Jelly Roll Morton so succinctly captured in the now immortal phrase, 'The Spanish Tinge'.
With Kaiso, his latest recording as a leader, Etienne cooks up an ambrosial bouillabaisse of New World music genres, with Jazz and Calypso standing out as piquant flavours. He explores the songbooks of three calypso legends, the Lord Kitchener, the Mighty Sparrow and the Roaring Lion using many different instrumental palettes ranging from duet to chamber orchestra.
As a sideman he has performed and or recorded with Monty Alexander, Roberta Flack, Frank Foster, Ralph MacDonald, Johnny Mandel, Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Roberts, Maria Schneider, Count Basie Orchestra, Eric Reed, Lord Blakie, David Rudder and many others.
Etienne Charles serves as Assistant Professor of Jazz Studies at Michigan State University. He holds a Master's degree from the Juilliard School and a Bachelor's degree from Florida State University.

Voting is under way in East Timor, with presidential candidates vying for top post as the nation looks to a historic United Nations (UN) withdrawal after a decade on the island nation, BBC reported.
East Timor is one of the world's most impoverished nations. While the presidency is mostly a ceremonial role there, today's vote is seen as critical to its future stability.
Observers say the race is mainly between Nobel Peace Prize winner and current president Ramos Horta, former armed forces chief Taur Matan Ruak (or ''TMR"), and former parliamentary speaker Francisco Guterres ("Lu-Olo"), said BBC, with a total of 12 candidates on the ballot.
Hundreds queued up before voting areas opened today, Reuters reported, while ABC News said a large number of international monitors had earlier arrived to monitor polling stations.
Provisional results may not be released until Sunday due to delays in getting results from remote areas, Reuters said, with official results set to be announced a week from today.
More from GlobalPost: East Timor elections: what's at stake
Some 30 people were killed and thousands displaced when violence erupted ahead the country's last presidential election in 2007, BBC reported.
Provided today's vote goes smoothly, some 1,000 UN troops and roughly 400 Australian soldiers are set to pull out of the country at the end of the year.
A new government is set to be elected in June.
East Timor, one of the most oil-dependent countries in the world, continues to struggle with gang violence, malnutrition, corrpution, and unemployment, said BBC.
More from GlobalPost: Promises, pitfalls await investors in Burma's frontier economy
The problems have contributed to East Timor's inability to access its large offshore gas reserves, Reuters reported, noting that development was at a standstill due to a disagreement with an Australian petroleum company.
The eastern island, which is located off the South Asian archipelago, declared independence from Indonesia in 2002 following decades of brutal guerilla warfare that prompted UN intervention.

Poppy 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.
Hey, This is Zælik. I have been playing League of Legends for over a year now. This is my first guide and I am really excited to share the news that jungle Poppy works. Now why Poppy, When I first started one of my favorite champions was Poppy so I figured I would show a video of Poppy at her best.
I used to play her all the time both as an ad carry and Ap nuke. Unfortunately in the current meta there was no place for her. Or at least that is what I thought before I started to Jungle her. Jungle Poppy is an aggressive jungler that can invade very well and get off some incredible ganks. Poppy in general is very fun and can utterly obliterate carries end game. The hard part with Poppy in the current meta was getting to the end game. So back to my question of how to play poppy in the current meta. The solution - Jungle Poppy! and this is my guide to do just that.
A few notes about Warding/Jungling
Before we actually get into the guide I would like to talk about a few key aspect of the game. There are plenty of guides out there on both warding and basic jungle archetypes but for you lazybones out there this section is for you.
First off is Warding. I know people may not think it is important but wards can win games, net free kills, secure buffs/dragon and even free Baron. As a jungler you should help your team out by keeping dragon warded. In addition to dragon I highly recommend that you ward yours and the enemies buffs. This will give you buff control. Buffs spawn 5 min after they were killed. This is vital to know as timing buffs will secure your own and allow you to steal your enemies. Poppy is extremely reliant on Blue buff for her jungle to be fast so keeping it safe is getting you closer to your Trinity Force.
The second thing I wanted to mention is about different types of junglers. I have separated them into three main types, starting with what I like to call the "old school ones" Amumu, Nunu, Jarvan IV etc. Junglers who are weaker at ganking very tanky and move through their jungles fairly slow. Then there are the "ganking" junlgers Evelynn Twitch Lee Sin (now) and last but not least are the "New kids on the block" these are the Shyvana, Skarner Maokai junglers that are unbelivably fast at clearing they may have amazing ganks and can counter jungle extremely well. Poppy can be all of the above. You can counter jungle right up with the best of them. You have amazing ganks and with your Paragon of Demacia you are one of the tankiest junglers at the beginning of the game.
Pros / Cons
+ // Can disintegrate enemy carries with Devastating Blow
+ // Great at diving enemy champions
+ // Great Escape Artist
+ // Seems to Never Die
+ // A few seconds of GOD MODE to punish your enemies
- // Reliant on Items
- // Squishy early game
- // only mediocre ganks until level 4
- // Very Susceptible to cc pre level 6
Summoner Spells
Smite - Necessary on jungler
Flash - Allows you to position for wall stun. Also allows amazing juke techniques
Also viable
Ghost - Amazing with this build makes you sonic fast
Exhaust - This spell can help with ganks. This would replace flash and I think it is the least viable of the three summoner spells.
All others are useless for jungling Poppy
I go with:
Greater Mark of Attack Speed
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist
Greater Quintessence of Lethality
the alternative runes allow greater ganks for a slower jungle
Poppy is an assassin therefore it only seems logical that she would be offensive.
I go for both the AS>ARP and the CDR>MP the reason is that Poppy does lots of magic damage even for an ad champ. (Your Q burst that really chunks people is Magic damage)
I also pick up the lifesteal
I grab more sustain and armor in the defensive tree to help with jungling.
Alternate masteries would be the same 21 in offensive with the reduced death time move speed and runic affinity in utility. This would net you less gold as smite would not give you any gold however it would allow you more ganking opportunities. If you gank often and can secure kills I would recommend this mastery setup.
Skill SequenceParagon of Demacia the reason is because this ability is essential in Poppy's early jungle. Then I pick up Heroic Charge as it helps with ganks, and makes clearing the buff camps easier. Heroic Charge also allows Poppy to counterjungle or prevent enemies from counter jungling. Next is Devastating Blow(the bread and butter of Poppy) so much damage from this one ability I will go over that later. I then put 1 more points in w to sustain jungle and allow for better ganks as it gives more movespeed/armor and damage. The priority to max should be R>Q>W>E.
Ganking / Jungling
Poppy's Jungle route is a standard one. Blue>double golems. However I often try to invade and counter jungle on Poppy once i hit level 2-3. This is something you will have to learn for yourself but once you do it makes Poppy even stronger. Poppy can one v one almost any jungler in the jungle. Her charge, when used correctly does massive damage and stuns the target. When Jungling as Poppy keep your jungle clear at all times and gank often. Poppy scares people because most people have had a game with that one Poppy that went 30-2. They will remember that game and fear Poppy. Run out at them and hit q if you can get a kill amazing if not you probably burned their flash/ghost etc.
Run out of lane wait a few seconds then move back in they will get scared or be out of position for you to wallstun/secure the kill. Then move back to your jungle. Show your hammer the the enemies. The best junglers are the ones with the most presence in game. Once you have your wriggles/boots sheen/phage start giving your blue to your ap carry. As Poppy is a very strong counter jungling assassin fighter you are ok to invade. Steal buffs, Steal wraiths Steal wolves and golems. When you Play Poppy you should have 2 jungles at your disposal. After you steal buffs the first few times make sure you are watching out for wards.
Also place wards at the major buffs. If the enemy jungler is ganking steal their jungle. IF they are in their jungle then Gank them. As I mentioned previously Poppy is very aggressive and her playstyle may take time to get used to.
Items Core Build
I start with vamp scepter however any of the 3 items that build into wriggles is acceptable. I just prefer vamp scept as it is the cheapest and fasted route to wriggles. once you have your wriggles and merc treads it is time to move onto Trinity Force. Tf is Poppy's main item. I generally build Phage> Sheen> Zeal. At this point I assess how the game is going. Can I afford to grab more Damage, do I need more movespeed, Or am I being focused and need more defence. Generally at this point I am still tanky enough that I can go strait for my Infinity Edge. After Infinity Edge I grab a Zeal Force of Nature Phantom Dancer and Finish off with a The Bloodthirster. The theme of this build is to make you Tanky enough that you can charge in without dying, Kill 1-2 people and run as fast as you can away, Live then repeat. Hence all of the movement speed.
Once your full build is complete and the enemy team has yet to surrender dont forget to buy your consumables. All of them help Poppy out.
- I get this because it helps out with the jungle both with the passive ability and the armor/attack damage. Also, it gives you the lifesteal you need until we upgrade to a The Bloodthirster.
- I get these boots because Poppy will be in the center of conflict. When Poppy's Ultimate is on cooldown she is very susceptible to crowd control effects.
- Poppy's main item. Everything about this Item is good for Poppy when building grab Sheen first for the most damage and then grab phage/zeal based on the game. Phage when you need more surviability and Zeal for more damage.
- This is where you start to hurt. This Item is a huge Damage boost. With the Trinity Force " Sheen" effect if you get a crit on your Devastating Blow... Well I guess that would just derive the origin of the ability name now wouldn't it.
- I pick up a zeal here to give more crit(helping your recently acquired Infinity Edge, movement and attack speed. I leave it at a Zeal to tide us over while we build some defensive items.
- I build this item for several reasons and I will fit this into the guide as well. First off Poppy needs Magic Resist in this build. Secondly the passive will allow you to kite the enemy team by healing health as you run. And thirdly with this build you want to be the fastest person on the field of battle and this item helps you do just that.
- Poppy in this guide needs a lot of movespeed. This item gives that extra boost so that you are The Fastest Hammer in the West. I also love the fact that it brings you up to 70% crit chance.
- This will replace your Wriggle's Lantern. It gives more lifesteal and damage.
Items - Situational
Here are some items that can be very useful on Poppy. You should always pick your items based on the game and the core build may not be the best.
Defensive Items
- This Item can really stop champions like LeBlanc. I prefer Force of Nature because with Poppy's passive Valiant Fighter you can survive most burst damage. However this item is still viable.
- This is one of my Favorite items on Poppy. When you can run into the enemy team and take out 2-3 champions, die and then comeback you can have a lot of fun as Poppy. I generally skip my The Bloodthirster or Force of Nature for Guardian Angel. Tip; Because of Valiant Fighter when you come back to life with 750hp you can generally escape death.
Offensive Items
This used to be one of my favorite items on Poppy before it was nerfed. Now on occasion i still pick it up. The lifesteal will supplement The Bloodthirster. For lesser Attack damage and lifesteal you receive spellvamp and an amazing activate ability. When you activate the ability from Hextech Gunblade you can catch up to anyone. Tip; if you have your ultimate active and you use the activate ability on your target they take increased damage.
- if you feel you are doing less damage because your enemies are stacking armor than this item can help greatly. I would generally grab this item instead of my Phantom Dancer.
- If there are 2-3 champions with 100+ armor than this item becomes better than The Black Cleaver. Supposing an enemy has 150 armor. TBC = hitting a target with 105 armor. LW = hitting a target at 90 armor. This item gets better the more armor that the enemy stacks. As much as it may seem like a good Idea never get both TBC and LW. They stack horribly together.
This is where I will be logging changes to the guide. I am still going through and coding my guide. Below is useful information that is valid. However it has not yet been coded.
02-26-2012 - Guide posted
02-26-2012 - Added Situational Items
05-28-2012 - Changed Item build due to nerf in phantom Dancer and wriggles
Unique Skills
Poppy has several Unique skills
First is her Passive. which allows her to live from some crazy situations.
You can use this by jugnling when most sensible people would have gone home. Say you just escaped a team fight and you know the enemy team is not pursuing closely. you can generally head to double golems wraiths or wolves and nuke the one that has the health regen aura. clear the camp if you can keep jungling good if not now you back and you made an extra hundred gold.
Secondly (this one is probably most important) Devestating blow. To impact the most damage with this ability make sure that you activate it while you can have the sheen/tf effect as well.
that will make your next auto attack do insane damage. It is a really easy thing to do but making sure every time sheen proc is up it goes onto a q will tremendously improve your damage.
The third trick with Poppy's abilities is Heroic Charge. The key to this ability is aiming so that the target is thrust into a hard surface. Holding off until you can guarantees the stun is important. Otherwise you only push the target away from your allies. Also it does double damage when the target hits a "wall".
Finally Poppy's Ultimate.
This is what makes Poppy really fun and separates the bad good and Godlike/legendary Poppys apart. Knowing when to ult and who to ult can save your life so many times as well as maximize your damage output. I will classify the ult into different categories of when to ult and how to use it.
First. use the ult on a support or champion that isnt a big threat damage wise to yourself. Surprisingly endgame this can often be the enemy ap carry. Make sure not to be using this on a soroka or taric who will cripple you while you have your bubble of OP. During this time you have free reign on the enemy team. nothing but the one u ultied can touch you. This is when u rock the house. Pick one or 2 enemy carries and nuke them. Once they are dead run away from the fight. IF your team was their to engage run back in and pick another important target.
Secondly Use your ult as an escape mechanism. Pop your ult on someone who has no real cc and you can run away from. Say you are warding baron or choose to facecheck a scary bush. Dying in League of Legends is bad right. SO its ok to pop your ult on someone who cant cc you and getting the hell out of there.
Thirdly. If there is that one character on the enemy team that really needs to die and you cant do it in your time bubble of OP. Ult that champ and focus the hell out of them. YOU get increased damage to the target and our fairly tanky so you can use the time to burst that one person down. and again after the bubble is down run away. once you are out of combat you can ***es if you can reengage and onto whom. People have a tendency to really want to kill you when your bubble disappears.
Team Work
Poppy excels when she can be made part of a coordinated team fight.
Try working with your team to get those amazing wall stuns that can change the game.
Perfect situations can be with characters like trundle, anivia and jarvan. Even if they are on the enemy team. use the obstacles to your advantage. If you have someone like vayne on your team feel free to spread out your wall stuns to keep them there longer. Even though the wall stun is nice it can be amazing to thrust an enemy into your team. gragas ult/leesin ult/ janna ult/ ali in combination with your heroic charge can throw a carry into the middle of your team. That = dead carry.
Quick recap. Fed Poppy =Win. This was my first guide and I would like some feedback. I know it sounds cliche but I want to know what you think. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I would like for you to comment and please not troll vote. If there is something you think is bad let me know and likewise if you like it I would appreciate that as well.
Also I wanted to acknowledge Brum. His Ap Poppy guide is what taught me a lot of the amazing tricks Poppy can do. Here is a copy of the guide, it is outdated but Still has useful information.

The Shobogenzo (The Treasury of the True Dharma Eye) is a revered 800-year-old Zen Buddhism classic written by the Japanese monk Eihei Dogen. Despite the timeless wisdom of his teachings, many consider the book difficult to understand. In
Don't Be a Jerk, Zen priest and best-selling author Brad Warner, through accessible paraphrasing and incisive commentary, applies Dogen's teachings to modern times.
"You don't need to use bad theology"
This is not your typical Zen book. Brad Warner, a young punk who grew up to be a Zen master, spares no one. This bold new approach to the "Why?" of Zen Buddhism is as strongly grounded in the tradition of Zen as it is utterly revolutionary. Warner's voice is hilarious, and he calls on the wisdom of everyone from punk and pop culture icons to the Buddha himself to make sure his points come through loud and clear.
"Clear understanding with colorful personality"
Brad Warner was initially interested in Buddhism because he wanted to find God, but Buddhism is usually thought of as godless. In the three decades since Warner began studying Zen, he has grappled with paradoxical questions about God and managed to come up with some answers. In this fascinating search for a way beyond the usual arguments between fundamentalists and skeptics, Warner offers a profoundly engaging and idiosyncratic take on the ineffable power of the "ground of all being."
"Uncontroversially Thorough"
In Sit Down and Shut Up, Brad Warner tackles one of the great works of Zen literature, the Shobogenzo by 13th century Zen master Dogen. Illuminating Dogen's enigmatic teachings in plain language, Warner intertwines sharp philosophical musings on sex, evil, anger, meditation, enlightenment, death, God, sin, and happiness with an exploration of the power and pain of the punk rock ethos.
"Still excellent but I see a flaw"

Seventeen years ago was an important time. It was 1996, the year most of the seniors at Richmond Hill High School entered the world as infants. It was also, before this year, the first and only time the Wildcats football team made it to the state playoffs. So how does one celebrate such an accomplishment? By having a gigantic bonfire the night before last Friday's game so students, teachers, families and the rest of the community can celebrate and support our team.
Similar to a pep rally, the bonfire was aimed to "get the team, band, cheerleaders and fans primed for Friday night," said Head Football Caoch Lyman Guy. According Guy events like the bonfire play a huge role in the turnout of the game because "the players and coaches really feed off of the energy the crowd brings to the game."
The concept of the event all started a few weeks ago at a Gridiron Booster meeting where attendees mentioned bonfires that they had experienced and what they may be able to do as far as "getting the Richmond Hill community pumped for the football game," said Assistant Principal Mickey Bayens.
The bonfire idea was a hit, so all that was left to do was get a city burn permit and fire trucks, as well as staff and maintenance to monitor the fire, which was made possible by history teacher Russ Carpenter.
During the bonfire, Bayens recognized Richmond Hill High School's award-winning marching band and successful football program, as well as the South Bryan Recreation Department's youth football champions for the individual age groups. Bayens added that due to the success of the bonfire, he "would love to see Richmond Hill make this an annual event at the beginning of the season to get people excited for the fall sports schedule."
Catherine Petrino is a senior at Richmond Hill High School.

Barca ended up matching rivals Real Madrid record breaking 34 match unbeaten streak which went back to the 1998-99 season.

Pique wrapped up the three points when he scored minutes into the second-half.
Barca have now scored an incredible 102 goals in their last 34 games conceding just 19 times with the MSN – Messi, Suárez and Neymar Jr – hitting the back of the net on 78 occasions.
Barcelona have now also won all 12 games that Turan has made an appearance in. The Turkish international came close to providing his fourth assist and created the joint highest number of goal scoring chances (3).
Turan made a total of 48 passes at a 92 percent accuracy maintaining his impressive pass rate which averages over 90 percent.

Amid Hinderances of Old Ways, Libya Opens Up
In recent years, Libya has undergone a nip and tuck.
The traces of antiquity are still there. But now, free from international sanctions, the country is looking years younger — even as Libyans harbor some of the same old habits of the past.
Many faraway kingdoms have clambered for trading posts on this coastal land of North Africa — and today's world powers are no different. After years of political and economic isolation, the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab state-of-the-masses is opening up to old-fashioned capitalism.
Transportation Inroads
At a recent air show in Tripoli, the sky was like a moving catalogue of the fastest, shiniest and latest in aerial technology. Dignitaries, Libyan air force pilots, techno geeks and hundreds of Libyan families are kicking the tires, so to speak. That's because they're buying. Or, rather, their brother leader — Moammar Gadhafi — is buying.
"It's really for the leader and others to determine what they want, " says Adam Thomas with the British Ministry of Defense. He represents an array of logistics, surveillance and supply companies that want to do business in Libya.
Even Land Rover and Rolls Royce want contracts — a far cry from Gadhafi's baby blue Volkswagen Beetle, now parked in the national museum.
Great Britain is one of Libya's newest trading partners, following a deal earlier this year in which the two formerly hostile nations made nice.
"We see the future in Libya dependent on more joint ventures, more opportunities for a skilled Libyan work force to get involved, and to learn, believe it or not, that there's things in Libya we can learn from. It's not all one-way streets here," Thomas says.
Libya's World Associations
Ironically, Libya is most often associated with an air disaster. Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, and all aboard were killed.
Gadhafi denied involvement at the time. But an investigation linked the bomb to Libya, which effectively isolated the country from the West. In 2003, Libya agreed to compensate the families of the Pan Am flight and also renounced weapons of mass destruction.
The United States and Libya restored full diplomatic ties last year. Now, Libya sells oil to the West. And as oil prices rise, so does Libya's buying power.
"I personally moved back here," says Nasser Muhammed Zwawee. "I lived in Canada for about 10 years or so. I came back two years ago, and it's such amazing change. I myself am surprised."
Zwawee deals in real estate. He says Libya is where the action is. Wearing a black suit and black sunglasses and with his black hair slicked back, he seems like the kind of guy who would know.
"The sanction years, we used to go abroad to buy ... like clothing, perfumes, stuff like this," Zwawee says. "But now, pretty much, you can find anything. And it's brand names — like something original. Before, you really didn't have that. No way."
A More Cosmopolitan Bent
There's no arguing that the Libyan government is moving toward a more cosmopolitan future. This is an "about face" from the culture of asceticism that Gadhafi once embraced in his "green book," outlining Socialist revolutionary philosophy.
At the air show, Cessna is appealing to Libyan customers who want to get where they are going in style.
There are plans for a new international airport in Tripoli that looks like a page out of Frank Gehry's drawing pad. And Libyan Airlines is reportedly acquiring a new fleet of planes from Canada and France.
"You know, the time has changed," says Muhammad Ayad, head of the cabin crew for Libyan Airlines. "Now we wants to be with the world, you know. We want to cover all the countries by our airlines." Ayad says that if all goes well, the airline will be landing in New York in the next two years.
But no matter how fancy-pants Libya becomes, the old ways are still vital to the people who live here.
In the labyrinth of the medina, or Old City, are the shops where the locals buy. It's where the stuff of life is sold: metal works, fish, household goods and the gleaming gold necklaces that brides wear on their wedding day. Not many Libyans in this teeming place are willing to talk on the record.
Despite the appearance of a more open economy, people here seem unusually closed. Remember, Libya is no democracy. Gadhafi has held dictatorial power for the past 38 years. Government minders accompany journalists to most destinations. And when ordinary people see the minders — most conversations come to an end.

Therefore, all four coaches including Bobby van Jaarsveld, Lira, Karen Zoid and Kahn Morbee are once again swivelling in their red chairs to discover South Africa's best singing talent.
The coaches are have already started blind auditions for the second season. The event which kicked off on Tuesday evening at Sasani Studios had all four coaches back on their red seats. They listened to and picked talent for their teams.
The auditions held in Johannesburg attracted several talented singers who got standing ovations from the audience. The Voice South Africa coaches fought each other in their usual manner to try and secure the best singers for their teams.
The recordings for the blind auditions will continue this week. Meanwhile, Lungile Radu is back as the presenter while Stacey Norman is interviewing the contestants backstage.
Subsequently, the selected few will compete at the second season of The Voice South Africa which will start on M-Net (DStv 101) on 29 January 2017.

- Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of luxury automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks. It is currently a division of the parent company, Daimler AG, after previously being owned by Daimler Chrysler and Daimler-Benz. Mercedes-Benz has its origins in Karl Benz's creation of the first automobile in January 1886, [1] followed by Gottlieb Daimler and engineer Wilhelm Maybach's original Mercedes automobile in 1901. The first Mercedes-Benz brand name vehicles were produced in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz's and Gottlieb Daimler's companies into the Daimler-Benz company.[1] Mercedes-Benz has, over the years, introduced many technological and safety innovations that have become common in modern vehicles. The company's logo has become the symbol of luxury as far as cars are concerned. When you see a Mercedes logo, you think of excellence and class. The logo consists of a three point silver star, surrounded by a circle. This symbol represents Daimler's original wishes to create an engine that is small, reliable, and powerful. The 1950s witnessed the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL "Gullwing, " a sports car that has been described as being the world's first supercar. With its dramatic styling and race-bred technology, the 300 SL reigns today as a classic coveted by collectors worldwide. The decade also saw Daimler-Benz making strides in the area of safety technology. The company's Mercedes-Benz 220 sedans were the first vehicles to incorporate its patented "crumple zone" body des

Delivering Better Lives for Babies
In Milwaukee, around 15 babies die annually directly due to co-sleeping (when an individual sleeps next to an infant in bed and accidentally suffocates them), and nearly 15% of Milwaukee's infant deaths are related to an unsafe sleeping environment. Milwaukee infant deaths make up an unusually high number of infant deaths – 25% of infant deaths in the state of Wisconsin. While the national average of infant deaths is around 6 per 1,000 live births, Milwaukee's average number of infant deaths is around 10 per 1,000 live births. In 2012, 96 babies died before their first birthday in Milwaukee, and last year that number rose to over 100. The high infant mortality rate in Milwaukee is an unacceptable problem that is preventable in many ways.
During the summer of 2014, I came across a BBC article that caught my interest. In the article, I read about the maternity packages given to expectant mothers in Finland. As I read, I discovered that each mother in Finland receives a cardboard box filled with a mattress and other infant care items – part of a long-lasting system that sustains a low infant mortality rate there. These baby boxes are not just carriers for infant supplies, but also baby beds.
I realized that this could be a valuable strategy to use in Milwaukee, a city with a high infant mortality rate related to unsafe sleeping environments as well as other social and economic factors. I emailed with the Finnish government and the only company in the U.S. that makes similar Finnish baby boxes – The Baby Box Co. – and began to create the non-profit, Stork & Company of Wisconsin, in an effort to give every child an equal start in life. Our goal for this year is to distribute 150 baby boxes to families in need in Milwaukee, and continue to grow and distribute more boxes in the following years, hopefully lowering the unacceptably high infant mortality rate here.
The boxes are purchased from The Baby Box Co. at a wholesale value, and then delivered to families in need either through hospitals, clinics, or home visiting nurses. This year will be Stork & Co.'s first, and we are hoping to raise $8,500 this year to provide the 150 boxes we need. If you would like more information on Stork & Co., feel free to go to our website for more information at www.storkandcompany.org or our Facebook page (Stork & Company of Wisconsin). If you wish to make a donation, please visit our donation page at Fundly (fundly.com/stork-company). If you are interested in being involved with Stork & Co., contact us at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.
