The easiest way I know to do it is to have your window manger handle it. That's because it's already listening to all the keyboard events that come in from the X server. It is possible that there are other, WM independent programs out there to do it, but I don't know of them. In any case, you will need to edit your Window Maker menu. That's made a bit difficult (impossible?) if you're running the Debian generated menus. If you're not, the the following (taken from ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/menu) will help: * Syntax is: * * <Title> [SHORTCUT <Shortcut>] <Command> <Parameters> * * <Title> is any string to be used as title. Must be enclosed with " if it * has spaces * * SHORTCUT specifies a shortcut for that item. <Shortcut> has the * same syntax of the shortcuts key options in the * $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file, such as RootMenuKey or MiniaturizeKe y. I've got a MS Natural Pro keyboard with "Internet keys". Using the Window Maker shortcuts I've set up the "Sleep" key to run xlock, another key to hide all the windows except that which currently has focus, and another to unhide all windows. I've still got several more keys, but I don't know what to do with them. 8^) HTH, noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html

Hundreds of protesters picketed outside the home of Alice Walton, the billionaire daughter of Walmart's founder.
A total of 26 protesters were arrested when they blocked Park Avenue in the upscale New York neighborhood where Walton's home is located. Another 16 were arrested in a similar protest outside a Walmart office in Washington, D.C.
The New York protesters carried signs that said "The Waltons are robbing America" and chanted "What do we want: Respect. When do we want it: Now."

Press release submitted by Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity North Central Massachusetts will kick off the start of the spring building season with its annual breakfast to be held on May 3, 2017, at the First Parish of Bolton from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. The annual breakfast is an awareness and "friend-raising" event and provides an opportunity for the community to meet Habitat's newest homeowners and to learn more about current building and renovation projects in the region. Habitat for Humanity North Central MA will also honor its long-term volunteers at the breakfast.
There is no cost to attend this event but, reservations are required as seating is limited. Please visit the Habitat website to reserve your spot.
Award-winning author Michael J. Tougias will be the keynote speaker for the Breakfast. Tougias is a New York Times bestselling author and co-author of 24 books. Among his bestsellers is the novel "The Finest Hours," a work recounting the dramatic Coast Guard rescue of the crew of two ships stranded off Cape Cod. The WWII surplus vessels were unwisely kept in service and broken in two by a raging Nor'easter that swept the coast in 1952. The fascinating story was made into a movie in 2016.
Tougias agreed to be speaker for the breakfast because one of the Coast Guard servicemen involved in the rescue was Stow, MA homeowner Edward Mason, a recent partner for Habitat NCM's Critical Home Repair program. Launched in 2015, the agency's Critical Home Repair Program is a home preservation program that provides needed interior and exterior repairs for low-income homeowners, enabling them to maintain a safe, decent, and affordable place to live. The program focuses on safety, security, accessibility, weatherization, and keeping houses up to city codes. Mr. Mason will be honored posthumously for his years of military service at the breakfast. Many thanks to Nashoba Valley Technical HS Culinary Department for catering the event.
Sponsorship opportunities for the breakfast are still available. Enterprise Bank, Digital Federal Credit Union, EXIT Realty and the Law Offices of David Rocheford have already signed on to support the event. Local businesses and community partners are encouraged to apply early as sponsorships are limited and on a first come basis. For more information about becoming a sponsor, please visit our website. Sponsors will receive print amenities and branding benefits for their support.
Habitat for Humanity North Central Massachusetts

text: (Updates prices, adds new analyst quotes) By Sam Nelson CHICAGO, March 11 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn futures rose for the third straight session on Monday on tight stocks and on follow-through from the rally that followed the bullish corn supply numbers released Friday by the U.S. government, traders said. "Corn is leading everything higher today and it's technical support after the USDA report. Managed money is buying after the aggressive fund liquidation that we've seen," said Shawn McCambridge, an analyst for Jefferies Bache. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's March supply/demand report on Friday kept projected corn stocks unchanged at a 17-year low. The market had expected higher inventories. "Corn was up from USDA's report Friday; that is being questioned by some, but it's all we have to work with for now," said Rich Nelson, director of research for Illinois-based analytical firm Allendale Inc. Wheat turned up on spillover buying from strong gains in corn futures. Soybean also rose for the third day in a row on firm cash soy, slow farmer selling and slow shipments from the 2013 South American harvest. Traders were beginning to shift some attention to the distant, or new-crop futures contracts, which were higher but lagged gains in the old-crop or nearby futures contracts. "The improving weather I think is limiting gains as well," Nelson said. Agricultural meteorologist John Dee of Global Weather Monitoring said additional drought-relieving rain fell over the weekend across a broad swath of the U.S. crop region. The U.S. winter wheat crop is near its early growth stage and U.S. farmers soon will be planting the 2013 U.S. corn and soybeans. The U.S. crop belt is slowly emerging from the worst drought in more than 50 years, which trimmed production. At 11:45 a.m. CDT (1645 GMT), CBOT May corn was up 8 cents per bushel at $7.11-1/2, May soybeans rose 2-1/2 cents to $14.73-1/2 and CBOT wheat for May delivery was up 4-1/2 cents at $7.01-1/2. CBOT new-crop December corn rose 6-3/4 cents and new-crop November soybeans were down 1/4 cent at $12.68-1/4 per bushel. "Today, contrary to the weeks before, traders will pay more attention to corn than wheat," said Arnaud Saulais of Starsupply Commodity Brokers in Geneva. "The most surprising aspect of the USDA report was an increase in the forecast for the amount of U.S. corn that will be used for feed. The adjustment looked bullish as U.S. corn stocks remained unchanged against higher stocks estimated by analysts." In closely watched monthly supply/demand estimates on Friday, the USDA kept corn ending stocks steady at 632 million bushels, the smallest in 17 years and a bare three-week supply. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected it to increase its estimate for corn inventories 1.7 percent. The increase in forecasted use of U.S. corn in animal feed, which offset a cut in export demand, surprised operators who had anticipated low-priced wheat would take some feed demand away from corn. The USDA said the bump in corn feed demand came from a continued expansion in poultry production and a reduction in the projected feed and residual use of sorghum, another livestock feed. However, analysts said overall adjustments in the USDA's monthly report were not dramatic and that they would wait for the department's quarterly U.S. stocks report later this month for clearer supply/demand indications. "With this hurdle (the monthly USDA report) cleared, we expect higher old-crop corn prices in the weeks ahead as the market positions ahead of the March 28 Grain Stocks report," Morgan Stanley analysts said in a note. Prices at 11:48 a.m. CST (1648 GMT) LAST NET PCT YTD CHG CHG CHG CBOT corn 732.50 7.25 1.0% 13.3% CBOT soy 1512.00 3.50 0.2% 26.2% CBOT meal 436.40 0.30 0.1% 41.0% CBOT soyoil 50.50 0.34 0.7% -3.1% CBOT wheat 697.25 7.25 1.1% 6.8% EU wheat 236.50 2.50 1.1% 16.8% US crude 91.42 -0.53 -0.6% -7.5% Dow Jones 14,425 28 0.2% 18.1% Gold 1578.80 1.06 0.1% 1.0% Euro/dollar 1.3012 0.0007 0.1% 0.5% Dollar Index 82.7070 0.0110 0.0% 3.2% Baltic Freight 847 4 0.5% -51.3% (Additional reporting by Gus Trompiz in Paris and Naveen Thukral in Singapore; Editing by Bob Burgdorfer)

Political Discussion = Temp Ban - Read!
There are some people in this community who don't like my "stop or else" attitude, but I dont' really care. When you do as much baby-sitting of GROWN ADULTS as we do... you start to get angry!
With that said, here is another 'ultimatum'... ALL political threads are hereby banned from this site. I don't care what it has to do with the price of tea in China... if you start a political thread, you will be instantly banned for 3 days... and your second offense will result in a permanent ban from this site.
We tried to let you discuss politics, but there are some members who just can't handle it... so we are closing it down... NOW... and for good.
Do NOT start 15 threads in the feedback section asking for them to be re-opened... it's NOT going to happen. I don't care if you have something legitimate to discuss... because within the hour, it will just turn into an inferno of flaming that would make Hell look like Antartica... so NO... they are not going to be allowed, or re-opened.
Complaints about moderation will result in an INSTANT 2 week ban... we are tired of trying to treat people like adults, and then coming back through and picking up the poopy diapers!!! It's done.
If I sound a little 'upset', it's because I am... GROW UP, show some respect to your fellow forum members, and find something else to talk about... preferably something related to High-Def Media!

February 2017
How do you do-hoo! My name is Maura. I am a Eurasian Eagle Owl. I am a very fortunate owl because I am a regular guest at a beautiful resort that overlooks Lake Rosseau in Muskoka. As you can probably tell by my species, I come from "across the pond" originally, but like many of my fellow birds, I have always loved to visit the pristine Muskoka region, about 200 km north of Toronto. One time I came for a visit and never went back!
My favourite haunt is JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa, a luxury resort set high on a 100-foot granite bluff on the shore of Lake Rosseau. From this vantage point, I enjoy every time of day, year-round. I can watch the sun rise in the morning, set in the evening, I see magnificent starry and moonlit nights against the incredibly dark sky at night, and I can view all the goings-on while looking for my lunch during the day.
Usually I am a little shy, but I confess that my ego prevails occasionally. I do like to perch proudly on the railing of the rooftop terrace during a Muskoka Birds of Prey show. Other guests at the resort admire my massive wing span and yellow eyed stare. Sometimes I fly so close to the children's heads that they gasp in delight! It's a tough job being admired for an hour straight, but someone has to do it. My colleagues are Dragon, the turkey vulture, Tiny Tim, the falcon and Bo, the hawk. They prefer to spend their time gliding over Wallace Bay on Lake Rosseau, intrigued by speedboats, kayaks, Stand Up Paddleboards and canoes.
When I stretch my wings I like to head down to the 5 Bridges trail for a visit with Dolores the deer and her twin fawns, Ava and Aiden. Dolores always raves about the tasty flowers near the resort sign; she says the pink flowers are the best! Dolores and I spend hours watching the twins frolic around the pond in a game of hide-and-seek with the humans during their guided nature walks. Nigel the red fox will sometimes make an appearance to brag about the various meals he has eaten. He can be so sly about where the good hunting spots are!
The 5 Bridges ponds were designed and built to make sure that run-off from the nearby Audubon-certified golf course, The Rock, is well-filtered and cleaned before it reaches the lake. My old pal Roscoe, the snapping turtle, lives in those ponds. I think it is hilarious when she is ready to lay her eggs, because she always crosses the road at the "Turtle Crossing" sign. Who knew turtles could read? Now I know what you're thinking... why is a female turtle named Roscoe? Well, one of the resort guests gave her that name and it has been Roscoe ever since.
If I feel like soaking up some sunshine at the resort dock, I go and visit my friend Harry the Blue Heron to watch him find his dinner off Fish Rock. Harry loves fishing from sunrise to sunset, especially when the vivid colours of orange, yellow, pink and purple fill the sky. As I sit with Harry on a Muskoka chair, my attention often wanders to the resort's private beach where human children build sand castles, catch frogs, swim and jump on the water trampoline. It makes me so happy to see humans and wildlife peacefully coexisting, embracing nature and making memories.
And what better time to visit than 2017, during Canada's 150th birthday! Maybe you will be here for regatta games, cupcakes and fireworks on July 1st. Whenever you visit, you just might spot Ollie the otter, Jake the moose or Bertha the bear; you never know whooo will turn up at JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka.

In order to get this excess fat, our NYC plastic surgeon, Dr. George Lefkovits, will utilize liposuction. After this fat is removed, it will be purified, so that the best fat cells will remain to be inserted into your buttocks.
Next, Dr. Lefkovits will insert the fat cells into your buttocks at varying depths and levels to give you a perfectly sculpted backside that you are going to love showing off.
What are the Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift not only will give you a behind that you're going to love to show off because it will look great in your jeans and bikinis alike, but is also an exceptional procedure because of the following benefits:
- No foreign objects – because it's your fat being used, your body will not reject the fat cells
- Minimal scarring that Dr. Lefkovits places in easy-to-hide areas
- Bonus of losing fat from an area that you may have had excess fat to begin with
- Changes the ratio of the rest of your body and can make your waist and hips appear thinner
New York Buttock Augmentation Specialist
Dr. Lefkovits is one of the foremost plastic surgeons when it comes to performing the Brazilian Butt Lift. He has helped countless numbers of patients achieve their aesthetic goals by giving them a slimmer silhouette above the waist and a groove thang they can definitely saunter and shake below the waist. He is double Board-Certified as a plastic surgeon, has an artistic eye, and takes the time to ensure that he gives each patient exactly what they're hoping for. If you're ready to schedule a free consultation about your Brazilian Butt Lift in Manhattan, please contact Park Plaza Plastic Surgery by calling (212) 750-9494.

Alternative Title: electrical conductance
Learn about this topic in these articles:
...it is apparent that the electric current ( I) is inversely proportional to the resistance ( R), where E represents potential difference. The inverse of the resistance is the conductance ( G = 1/ R). As the conductance of a solution increases, its ability to conduct an electric current increases.
The reciprocal of the resistance, 1/ R, is called the conductance and is expressed in units of reciprocal ohm, called mho.

I know that most of you have incredibly clever ways to organize your digital files, so that you can find things easily. Me, not so much. I have them in folders. Not the correct folders, but folders, none the less. When I found out that you could do this…it was a YUGE lightbulb moment!!
How would you like to be able to see a preview of what is in your folders? Look at my ScrapGirls product folders!! You can see the product marketing preview instead of the little blue folder icon.
This is how I did it on my Mac. It is not the same procedure for a Windows based machine but I did see that it can be done.
Choose a folder that you wish to edit, in Finder. Open the folder to find your product preview JPG.
Double click the image, to open it in Preview.
Hit CTL A, to select the image. CTL C to copy the image. See the marching ants?
Close the window and highlight your main folder. CTL I – to bring up the folder information.
Click the little folder in the upper lefthand corner of the pop up window. Then hit CTL V to paste the preview image to your folder.
Your folder preview will show the image you have pasted. VOILA!! Pretty cool, yes? This is a game changer for me. I hope it helps you too!! XO

By Adam Kaufman, from Cardsblog.com
ST. LOUIS - Sunday marked the unfortunate end of the the Cardinals' 2016 season. It's the earliest beginning to a St. Louis offseason since 2010, and it will surely leave the Cardinals' faithful with a sour taste in their mouth heading into the offseason. However, all is not lost.
When we look back at the 2016 squad and compare it to all of the teams that came before it, we'll notice that this one didn't make the playoffs or that they couldn't field or pitch like their predecessors. What we will notice, though, is how this gritty team overcame so much adversity, that to even be in contention for a playoff spot on the season's final day was an accomplishment on its own.
Right from Opening Day, it was immediately apparent that things were a bit different than in years past. Adam Wainwright lost his first start, striking out just 3, and the offense went 2 for 10 with RISP en route to a disheartening 4-1 loss to the Pirates and an eventual series sweep at Pittsburgh's hands.
That was apparently just a sign of things to come for the Redbirds. Over the course of the next few months, the Cards were essentially a .500 team. They hovered at or just above that mark well into the month of July, and it wasn't difficult to see why.
Thought the season, these Cardinals were hampered by injuries, under performance, roster construction issues, and some questionable managerial decisions.
Their starting pitching, which was an incredible strength in years past, quickly became a sore spot as Wainwright and Jaime Garcia failed to replicate past performances. Michael Wacha and Trevor Rosenthal were ineffective up until their respective injuries forced them to the DL for parts of the summer.
Cardinals Say Farewell to an Icon - CardsblogUnless a few things go their way, the St. Louis Cardinals will be eliminated today. For the first time in six years, they will not play at least 163 meaningful games. With that reality comes the reality that dusk is upon our Redbirds.
It would be generous to say that Matt Holliday's season was a disappointment, and newly discovered spark plug Aledmys Diaz also fell victim to injury. But remarkably, these turned out to merely be bumps in the road instead of crushing blows for a team that still held on to postseason aspirations.
It certainly wasn't easy, but patchwork lineups filled with the likes of Tommy Pham, Greg Garcia, and Alberto Rosario managed to keep the team afloat for the majority of the season until reinforcements arrived. Jedd Gyorko had a second half for the ages, and Zach Duke was a savior for an overworked bullpen. Diaz too had a few big moments in his September return from the DL.
That's not to say that everything that could go wrong for these Cardinals did. Matt Carpenter, who suffered a noticeable decline after a first half oblique injury, kept grinding at-bats and delivered one of the signature moments of the season: a game-tying solo shot with the team down to their final strike in an eventual 9-7 win over the Pirates in September.
That game wouldn't have been within reach had it not been for another consistent performer in Yadier Molina crushing a grand slam to open the scoring in the first. Yadi actually managed to set a career high in games played this year, and showed that even at age 33 he has plenty left in the tank.
Baseball Doesn't Appreciate Yadier Molina Enough - CardsblogCardinals fans have always known. Everywhere you go in St. Louis, Yadier Molina's name or face can be found. When you're looking for Cardinals apparel, the first suggestion one usually says is "Molina". When you go into a store, there is often some tribute to the great catcher.
Molina probably can claim the title as the team's MVP for this season, but his battery mate and unquestionable ace of the staff Carlos Martinez can't be discounted for all that he contributed. When the team was stumbling along or hit a tough patch in the schedule, Martinez was the guy that the Cardinals could trot out to the mound every fifth day and know that he would give them an excellent chance to win a baseball game that day.
Aside from Martinez, two pitchers who "saved" the season more than once or twice (both literally and metaphorically) were Seung-hwan Oh and Alex Reyes. Oh's ascension to closer in Rosenthal's absence was desperately needed to stabilize the pen, and Reyes turned in some of the biggest performances of the season in leading the Cards to 4 wins over his last 4 starts.
It feels weird to pay homage to a team that just missed its first postseason in SIX years, but you have to give the Cardinals credit for managing to roll with the punches and still manage to come away with an 86-76 record.
That being said, this ballclub had a ton of fight in them, and even though they ended up falling short, there's so much promise to look forward to in 2017.
Cardinals Aledmys Diaz's Almost Unrealistic Moment - CardsblogJust two days ago, Dee Gordon created one of the greatest moments in all of Baseball. In a fashion exactly like one you would find in a scripted Hollywood movie, Gordon broke down in tears after hitting his first home-run of the season in his first at-bat only a day after the passing of one of his best friends, Jose Fernandez.

What better time than Christmas to look behind the curtain and unveil a never-before-seen Behind the Scenes photo from Summer's movie "Help for the Holidays"? The scene depicted in the picture takes place at the end of the movie and shows Christine and the Van Camp family as they are celebrating Christmas.

As I have been saying since the beginning, "Help for the Holidays" is a romantic comedy with supernatural elements in it.
Therefore, I'm glad to see that Red Arrow International, co-producer of of "Help for the Holidays", lists Summer's Christmas movie as Romantic Comedy.
You can read their synopsis of the movie in PDF format: Help for the Holidays | Romantic Comedy | Movie, 1 x 90'
One line of their synopsis caught my attention, this one:
After an intense training program Christine heads from the North Pole to the real world to help Will, his sister Ally, and his parents Sara and Scott rediscover Christmas.
The first part of the sentence refers to Christine's "intense training program". However, we have not seen these scenes in the movie. And then I remembered one of the answers from the exclusive interview that "Help for the Holiday"s's writer Bob Saenz granted us. His answers read as following:
Question: The movie was only 1H23m long. Surely a few scenes/lines originally written didn't make the final cut of the movie? One in particular you'd like to share?
Bob Saenz: There were some scenes of Christine at the North Pole training to go out into the real world that were funny, but I understand the medium and know that in order to fit the film into the time allotted, including advertising, things have to hit the cutting room floor. I am very very pleased with the cut the way it ended up.

Workers draw in community, activists at community meeting on wage theft
Joined by over 60 DC workers and activists, the EJC's worker activist group, Workers Advocating for Greater Equality (WAGE), sent a powerful message to their community at Saturday's community meeting: stand up to wage theft. Workers shared stories about their experiences with wage theft with other DC workers, activists, and with the DC Councilmember Jim Graham (Ward 1), who earlier this month co-introduced the Wage Theft Prevention Act of 2014. WAGE members will be testifying at the bill's hearing with the Committee on Consumer and Regulatory Affairs at 10am on March 3, and has asked their community to stand with them in the fight against wage theft.
Many workers shared their experiences with wage theft and the impact it had on their lives. "Me metí a un restaurante … a mí me pagaban $400 a la semana y yo estaba contento y todo eso pero no sabía que me robaron allí el overtime (I starting working at a restaurant… they were paying me $400 a week and I was happy, but I didn't realize that they were stealing my overtime)," said one worker activist who was successful in recovering his unpaid wages.
"Y que de mi? Como le hago? (And what about me? What do I do?)" asked Gregorio Hernandez, whose case is still unresolved. "Con cinco hijos que hay que pagar renta, vestir, comer, medicinas, y estudiar? He tenido que ir al psicologo para superar mi depresión (With five children, and I have to pay rent, clothing, food, medicine, and studies? I've had to go to the psychologist to overcome my depression)."
"Y como yo también hay muchos que por miedo no hablan (And like me there are others, who don't speak out because of fear)," he added.
"Sin importar la nacionalidad, sin importar el credo, sin importar la posicion política, este proyecto de ley que nosotros estamos impulsando es con el proposito de ayudar a todos los trabajadores de DC (It doesn't matter your nationality, it doesn't matter your creed, it doesn't matter your political beliefs, this bill we are promoting is with the goal of helping all workers in DC)," said worker leader Tomas Arevalo from El Salvador.
"Sin importar el trabajo que usted desempeñe, sin importar si no es mucho lo que a usted le ofrecieron pagar, pero lo importante sería que a usted se le pague. Pero si a usted le ofrece pagarle una cantidad, y le resulta con otra que no era la convenida, entonces lógicamente le están robando su pago (It doesn't matter what type of work you perform, it doesn't matter if you aren't making a high salary, but what is important is that you are paid. If they offer to pay you one amount, and the amount they pay you is less than what you agreed, then logically, they are stealing your pay)."
Maria Hernandez asked for the community to not stay silent and to speak out if they are being abused in the workplace.
"Quiero pedir de mis compañeros y personas que estamos en este país, sea de donde sea, que nunca callemos en el trabajo. Porque a veces tenemos temor por la preocupación de no poder darles a nuestros hijos lo que queremos. Como decimos, todos luchamos con el temor de que nos boten de nuestros trabajos, por la preocupación que no podemos pagar la renta o la comida. A mi una vez tuve problemas con eso por un robo de pago, yo tuve que pagar como $47 solo por 3 dias que yo me retrasé de pago (I want to ask my community and the people in this country, wherever they are, to never stay silent at work, because sometimes we are afraid and worried that we will not be able to give our children what we want. As we say, we all struggle with the fear that they will kick us out of our jobs, for the concern that we will not have money for rent or food. I once had problems with wage theft, and I had to pay $47 in fines because my rent was three days late)."
Councilmember Jim Graham (Ward 1) attended the meeting, commended the workers for their organization and their heart, and called on them to continue speaking out at the hearing for the Wage Theft Protection Act on March 3. "It's very important that person after person, like you did today, talk about the wrongdoing that has occurred here in the United States against you when people have stolen your money," he stated.
As the workers always state, "En la unión esta la fuerza."
"Me siento contento que tenemos un buen grupo para seguir luchando contra todas las personas que nos quieren explotar en los trabajos (I am pleased that we have a good group to continue struggling against all of the people who want to exploit us at work)," said worker activist Alex Canales.
The EJC and WAGE would like to thank the community members who came to the forum as well as ROC-DC, DC Jobs with Justice, Trabajadores Unidos de DC, UFCW Local 400, GW Progressive Student Union, DC for Democracy, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON). Thank you for your dedication to the wage theft campaign and supporting workplace justice in DC!
For more information about the Wage Theft Prevention Act, check out the report Stolen Wages in the Nation's Capital.
Want to join us to pack the room at the hearing for the bill on Monday, March 3? Please RSVP here. Want to testify at the hearing about your experience of wage theft? Email organizer Hannah Kane for details at email@example.com.

Kog'Maw Build Guide by DROP B4SS
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Kog'Maw 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.
I've seen a few AP Kog'Maw builds but I think mine is unique, and personally, works best for me. This is my first guide so please bare with me! Kog'Maw as an AD carry typically does high amounts of damage very quickly. I don't play him as an AD carry because tanks expect it all too often. When you first get the void staff it's just too late, you already have an attack speed of 1.5+ and each attack with malady will be reducing there MR anyway. When finish this build can do SERIOUS damage in a very quick amount of time.
Pros / Cons
High damage Output
Deadly Range
Will drop Carries MR into the negatives BEFORE added MP
Can drop 90% of enemy champions in 1 on 1 matches
With this being said, the cons are sometimes frustrating
Must be conservative with mana
Terrible escape ability(Though you will do fine if careful)
Always squishy
Must be played passive-aggressively until mid-game
Slightly reliant on skills(Short-Cooldowns though?)
Why malady first?
Reduced MR, higher attack speed, little more damage on your Caustic Spittle and Void Ooze.. It's what AP Kog'Maw needs!
To be quite honest, I actually never use Sorcerer's Boots, since void staff is all I really need as far as mage penetration goes(Plus Runes). Since Kog can already lower mage resist with his Q, I'd rather use Boots of Swiftness or Mobility depending on the range of attack on enemy champs.
Rabadon's Deathcap is pretty obvious, the damage is nice. You could go with Nashor's Tooth first for cooldown and to make it a bit easier on your mana, it's really up to you.
Mejai's soulstealer, Could get it earlier but the assists and kills in team fights(If things are favorable) Make it a viable item without having to wait to have 3000 gold.
That's it for items I guess, Ryali's Sceptre is also a good item. Otherwise I don't change my items much. Hp is kinda useless, you're meant to be squishy and meant to stay at a distance. Can't change destiny.
Skill Sequence
Caustic Spittle Vs Void Ooze
Which comes first? --> This is the only part I have trouble with when playing AP Kog'maw.. This is a question that will probably haunt me forever, and this is why..
Void Ooze, BIG mana drain BUT, by the time you have void staff and Void Ooze to level 4 you can farm SO much easier. Greater slow with higher levels, so when you get your Living Artillery this is a great help. Being that in this build I get boots later a higher level and longer range from my W helps A LOT when chasing down opponents.
Caustic Spittle, faster attacks, and will decrease your opponents Magic Resist and Physical resistance. The difference between 2 levels in this skill is 10% quicker attack speed and a null in 10 points in opponents defenses. This skill will also, in a way, passively make your W more damaging. Decent Cooldown, short enough to do a good majority of damage
Your W! I'd recommend only 1 or 2 levels before level 11 as for each 100 points of ability you have will equal another 1 percent of opponents hp on top of whatever the opponents mage resist is after malady and void staff kick in. Only thing missing is the range, but with the increased slow from void Ooze you can do without the range.
Not much to say here, you could put more points in offense and personally I don't even use the blue buff so.. The preference is yours.
Good thing about this build is Kog is fairly versatile in terms of runes. He needs mana, so mana regen or extra mana is not bad. Neither is attack speed, Ap or Mage pen. Anything along those lines will more than likely work well with this build.
Summoner Spells
Ignite for people who like to heal, and I've had more luck with Ghost than flash, since you get more distance. His escaping ability is bad, but if you have some distance already your slow will help IMMENSELY. If you're still paranoid or dying too much, I suppose you could try Heal or Flash. Again it's all preference.
Final Word
I've played AD Kog'Maw's with this build, and this build is much better in my opinion. The fact that after malady kicks in on most carry's, there MR is literally negative and I couldn't even imagine what it is after mage pen. Void Ooze and Caustic Spittle deals 600+ damage each after a few hits. Factor in my W Other champions melt, even most tanks.
Perhaps not the most detailed guide, but I will be watching and adding to this guide as I have yet to find another champion that is so unique and.. Dangerous.
Hope I've helped!

"Avoid this maternity dept"
About: Royal Preston Hospital Royal Preston Hospital Preston PR2 9HT
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
Apart from the odd one or two midwives, who were completley lovely and understanding, the majority were rude, uncaring and unhelpful. I fail to understand why people who so obviously don't care, join a caring profession. As a first time mum I was left feeling inadequate and incapable by the very people that should have being instilling some confidence.

Landon Mayer was at the Peak Fly Shop here in Colorado Springs yesterday and gave a 1 hour lecture on "Fishing the Four Seasons" here in CO. He emphasized the winter season especially given the time of year and did a fly tying demo of the Tube Midge, his top winter midge (available through Umpqua).
I thought I would distill some of his advice here on flies.
Winter: Rojo Midge, Tube Midge (red or black), JuJe Bee and high-vis Griffith's Gnat are his go to flies this time of year. He emphasized not going smaller than 22. The bigger fish just don't get hooked easily on smaller flies. He likes a size 20.
Spring/Summer: His favorite dry fly: The Barr's Vis-a-Dun. The beauty of it is you can vary the colors of the body to imitate a BWO, PMD, Trico, Red Quill, etc. He says never to be without a BWO emerger in Jun/Jul. His favorite nymph is also my favorite fly, the Bead Head Flashback Pheasant Tail which he claims is simply a consistent "go to" producer most of time anywhere in CO.
Fall: Copper John's and swear's by red. Favorite Streamer is a natural looking olive woolly bugger, small black Moorish Mouse and his absolute favorite hopper fly is the Fat Albert in different body colors but with red legs. Floats like a cork. Likes the Amy's ant too.
He offered a lot of techniques on how to fish these flies too, along with some great videos of live action. His basic nymph set up is a Fluorocarbon 9 ft leader with a triple surgeons knot tailing 18 inches of fluoro tippet to the first fly and 24 inches to the second. He likes the weighted fly to be forward in thinner water, trailing in deeper. 12 noon to dark is best time to fish here in winter especially on an overcast day where there is a 40-50 degree thermal effect. Avoids split shot and indicators in winter in preference of weighted midges.
Probably nothing overly revealing here but though I would share his comments. After all he is a Zen Master guiding 200 days per year and catches monster trout.

Founded: 1865
ORAU Member since: 2015
Member Councilor: Alan J. Snyder
Enrollment: 7,059 (fall 2016)
Mission Statement:
To advance learning through the integration of teaching, research, and service to others.
Excellence is the hallmark of a university of distinction. Excellence requires a total quality commitment, which must characterize every activity of Lehigh University.
Lehigh is an independent, coeducational university with programs in the arts and humanities, business, education, engineering, and the natural and social sciences, offering bachelor's degrees primarily to full-time, residential students and graduate degrees through the doctorate for both full-time and part-time students. Lehigh is small enough to be personal, yet large enough to provide stimulating diversity and to play important national and international roles.
Since Lehigh's founding in 1865, the faculty has emphasized the integration of the academic disciplines, combining the cultural with the professional, the theoretical with the practical, and the humanistic with the technological in a modern, liberal education that serves as preparation for a useful life. Lehigh is an intellectually unified community of learners, and in this sense Lehigh is an integral university.
Lehigh strives to earn international prominence as a university of special distinction through its integration of teaching, research, and service to society. The integrating element of teaching, research and service islearning, which is the principal mission of all members of the Lehigh community. Our mission of advancing learning has three aspects:
Teaching. The development of future leaders in our global society is first among Lehigh's purposes and first among our achievements. Preparation for leadership requires the best of teaching, in which both mentor and student are so deeply engaged that they become joint owners of the learning process.
Research. Lehigh is deeply committed to the creative search for new understanding of nature and human society as an essential element of the learning process. The scholarly inquiry and research of Lehigh faculty and students add value to instruction on our campus, and contribute to the distinction of our university.
Service. The special commitment of the Lehigh community to experiential learning through service to others imbues the entire university with a sense of purpose and value in the larger society. Lehigh is extensively involved in developing partnerships with industry, government and others in education and human services to meet the needs of our society. In a societal sense, Lehigh is devoted to the concepts of unity, community, and cooperative achievement.
Lehigh believes that its graduates must develop critical thinking and effective communication as their habit; they must have both a broad understanding of human affairs and a domain of true competence; they are expected to live by a set of mature cultural and personal values, accept the virtue of work as a vehicle of service, and have the will to live and work with exceptional self-discipline.
Respect for human dignity is very important at Lehigh, a caring community deeply committed to harmonious cultural diversity as an essential element of the learning environment. In order that all members of the Lehigh community might develop as effective and enlightened citizens, the University encourages physical, social, ethical, and spiritual development as well as rigorous intellectual development.

Generation Rx Trailer (2008)
01 January 2008 Factual 81 mins
For decades, scores of doctors, government officials, journalists, and others have extolled the benefits of psychiatric medicines for children. GENERATION RX presents "the rest of the story" and unveils how this era of unprecedented change in Western culture really occurred - and what price has been paid by our society. International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller (Let Truth Be The Bias, The Promised Land) "delivers a jaw-dropping emotional ride," and "weaves a terrifying tale of criminal conspiracy, the mass abandonment of medical ethics, and the routine betrayal of an entire generation." By employing the expertise of internationally respected professionals from the fields of medicine, ethics, journalism, and academia, GENERATION RX investigates collusion between drug companies and their regulatory watchdogs at the FDA and focuses on the powerful stories of real families who followed the advice of their doctors - and faced devastating consequences for doing so.

Russia invites Indian industry to tap investment opportunities
Boris Dubrovsky, Governor, Chelyabinsk Region, Russia, on Thursday invited Indian industry to explore the investment opportunities in the Chelyabinsk Region of Russia, which offers tax incentives to foreign investors.
Speaking at an interactive session organized by FICCI, he held out the assurance that the Chelyabinsk Region would cooperate with the Indian businesses and their investment will be fully protected.
Dubrovsky said that Indian investments in Russia were estimated at USD 8 billion and Russian investments in India totalled about USD 3 billion. The volume of trade needed to be scaled up, he said adding that there was a need to promote new opportunities for economic and trade cooperation and promote the International North-South Transport Corridor, which would reduce the transit time by almost 40 per cent between India and Russia.
Governor Dubrovsky said that the industrial development of the region was determined by the metallurgical, car-building, fuel-energy, construction, agricultural-industrial complexes. Besides, the region had rich and varied natural resources and qualified work resources. He added that the level of investment cooperation between the two countries had been extremely low and added that the Chelyabinsk Region had some ready potential investment projects which Indian industry could consider for investment.

Not sure if this is the correct forum but it seems right to me...
'Just received an invitation to join a program. Started the initial "look-see" and what is the first thing I see on the page? It was a nice big ad encouraging me to join the service through the App Store. This is a new one for me. I doubt that they are commissioning sales through that entry point.When the only tool you have is a hammer - everything looks like a nail.

Its worth asking the merchant if they are. If they don't answer or answer NO then would tell them bye bye!

.. and this should serve as a reminder to affiliates to take a good look at the merchant site before you start promoting!
Leaks come in all shapes & sizes.

I think it goes a long way to mention an merchant by name so others can avoid them. Send it to me and I will post.

Well this is odd... I went to CJ to get the proper name of the merchant and the program is no longer there. It was a personal fitness coaching service... I guess my "spidee-sense" was spot-on.When the only tool you have is a hammer - everything looks like a nail.

Maybe it's always just been there, that digital piano you picked up, occupying the corner of the living room, and you've gotten curious if you can do something else with it other than display pictures. Perhaps you've inherited one—a cheap, dodgy keyboard, and you can't quite justify purchasing a newer, better model if you don't know how to play it.
It could be that you've just moved into a new home and you know that something large, beautiful, and shiny electric piano, complete with humidity control, will be just the thing to perfect your new space.
Whatever the reason, you've realized that you might like to learn how to play the piano.
Before you can try to talk yourself of moving on with the next steps in your music education (yes, you're about to have one of those), let's consider a few things to encourage you along your way.
Why People Want To Learn To Play The Piano
People want to learn to play the piano for a multitude of reasons; ultimately, it all hearkens back to a desire to want to play music. This begs the question: why do we want to play music to begin with?
- It's fun
There's nothing better than good live music—why else do people shell out big bucks to go see their favorite performers in concert? While you might not be the next Elton John—well, you could be—making your own music is like having a free concert travel around with you all the time.
- It's challenging
There might be a certain song you've always wanted to learn, and gosh darn it, you are simply determined to learn how to play it. I've had students come to my piano studio with burning desires to learn everything from Ode To Joy to Dave Brubeck's Take Five and even the Dukes of Hazzard theme song.
The sense of personal accomplishment that goes along with increasing difficulty, perfecting a new technique, or memorizing a certain song is amazing. This is true whenever we set goals for ourselves and work hard to reach them. Whether or not music comes to you easily, there is always another level of mastery that you can achieve.
- We want to be part of something bigger
Sure, melodies and harmonies sound fuller when several instruments gather together in ensemble, but music goes beyond even that fullness by providing a social outlet for those interested in joining some kind of group. Now, you don't have to form a garage band to make this happen; it can be as simple as having a friend over to sing lyrics over your accompaniment—or as elaborate as performing with a local symphony or pit orchestra.
- We want to relax
On the other hand, you don't have to be around other people whatsoever if you prefer to be alone. Sometimes, there is no other place in the world that can provide the sanctuary of a piano in an otherwise empty room and your very own hands meeting the piano keys.
Why People Haven't Started Learning Yet
There are plenty of reasons that people give for why they haven't started learning yet. Some are legitimate while others are teetering on the edge of The Land Of Excuses:
- Once upon a time, you quit
You started lessons as a kid and quit for some reason: you had a powdery, boring piano teacher who wouldn't let you play anything "cool," it got too hard. You always regretted not picking it back up. (This is now fixable.)
- You just never got around to it
My mother always wanted to learn to play the piano. The oldest of six, her parents finally purchased one when she was in her late teens. Mom taught herself to play "Strangers In The Night" and that was it. (No, I don't mean 'that was it' as in she became the next Carole King; I mean that was IT.) She thought she was too old to be learning the piano when she was seventeen years old and about to graduate from high school. A few years later, add a husband and a couple of kids and time just got away from her. (This, too, is now fixable.)
- You don't own a piano
How are you supposed to learn an instrument when you don't have one? This is a great one for excuse-makers. Pianos are expensive! They take up so much space. They are too heavy to move, and I move around a lot.
Isn't keeping up with tuning and maintenance expensive? And so the story goes. (This is totally fixable!)
- You don't have money for lessons
You've called around and it seems that taking private piano lessons costs way more than your budget allows. You feel discouraged and decide to forget about it altogether. (Yes, this is fixable.)
- You think you're too old
I got a phone call early on in my piano-teaching days from a woman named Esther. She told me, proudly, that she was eighty-four-and-a-half years old, and would I take her on as a student? "I need to learn the chords to hymns so I can play them for my Sunday school class," she said.
I loved two things about this phone call: Esther still added the "half" onto her age, commendably, and Esther was determined and fearless about trying something new in her golden years.
…Which brings us to our final point:
Why You Shouldn't Put It Off Any Longer
Parents are always so eager to sign their kids up for lessons because they know that the skills you obtain in childhood turn into knowledge (and sometimes talent) that stays with you for the rest of your life.
While it is clear that not everyone who wants to learn to play the piano gets the chance to do so during their younger years, it doesn't mean that adulthood comes upon us and boom, you just missed your chance. On the contrary, adults who decide to take piano lessons are more inclined to stick with it than a child is. You recognize your desire to learn something new, you are willing to part with some of your hard-earned money to do so, and you are creating time within your already-busy schedule for the pursuit of music.
Don't worry if you don't have a piano—as long as you have access to a practice piano or keyboard, you'll be ok. Rent a keyboard, browse craigslist for free pianos and keyboard (there are a ton out there), borrow from a friend, or practice at a church. The old adage rings true: where there is a will, there is a way.
Piano lessons can be expensive—or not. It all depends on who decided to take your lessons from and what they charge per hour. Go to the music store and ask for a list of teachers in your area and find out what the fees are. If it still seems too high, see if there's any place local that offers group lessons, which are usually less expensive. College music students may offer lessons at a discounted rate in order to build some business and make some extra cash—this is a win-win situation for you and for the teacher, too.
There are many resources out there for adult learners; there are even piano teachers who specialize in teaching adults and are willing to accommodate lessons around the standard work schedule.
The longer you put it off, however, the longer it will take you to learn what it is that you want to learn about playing the piano. Life is a lot shorter than the eighty-eight keys on the keyboard.

Signs that got away.....
Bygone area signs
CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE. Some photos were shot 20 or more years ago. They have been enhanced to improve the clairity. (I was a kid with a 110 camera on my 10 speed bike back then... Bless you, Photoshop!)
