The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Death and immigration greatly reduced Ireland's population in the 19th century. For the native Irish people poverty, hunger, and racial prejudice was common. Therefore, thousands left their homeland to seek opportunity in North America. Those who survived the journey and the quarantine camps to which they arrived, were instrumental towards building the strong developing nations of the United States and the future Canada. By far, the largest influx of Irish settlers occurred with Great Potato Famine during the late 1840s. These were employed as construction or factory workers. An examination of passenger and immigration lists has shown early immigrants bearing the name Gaffney:
Gaffney Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Gaffney Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Gaffney Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Gaffney Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century

The radius of that community was extended last week to include the World Trade Center in New York City. Four members of the Chatham Volunteer Fire Department First Deputy Chief Balcom Parcells and Firefighters Al Terhune, Robert Sweetin and George Sweetin were at ground zero, the World Trade Center site, on Thursday, Sept. 13, to help out. The local firefighters assisted just two days after two commercial airliners were hijacked by terrorists and crashed into the twin towers within 20 minutes of each other, resulting in the ultimate collapse of the World Trade Center.
As of Wednesday morning, there were still more than 5,000 persons working at or near the World Trade Center who were unaccounted for.

Today we bring you the sexy Evelin. Hailing from the Sao Paolo province we met this chick at the local park. She was sexily walking her dog. So we casually approached and she was totally receptive. So after chatting up a storm we got her number. We waited a few days and finally gave her a call. When she picked up she seemed bored so we told her to come over and spend some time with me. Well let me tell you this girl was a freak. She was right in and grabbed my dick. The rest was history!

High Schools Need Exit Exams
September 16, 1999
In a back-to-school address, U.S. Education Secretary Richard Riley reversed his long-standing opposition to high school exit exams, which require students to show what they know before graduation. He now favors the tests, which half the states have or are developing.
Riley made recommendations for improving high school performance, in particular:
- High schools should improve academic rigor, says Riley, to reduce the college dropout rate -- almost half of college freshmen drop out by the end of their second year, and to reduce the number who have to take remedial courses -- about 30 percent of students entering four-year colleges.
- They should set a goal of having 75 percent of students take tough courses -- just over half do so now.
- Every high school should offer Advanced Placement courses -- today 49 percent do so, and only 10 percent of students take them.
The United States will need 6,000 new schools in the next decade, says Riley, including new high schools to accommodate an additional 1.3 million high school students. He estimates there 53 million children in public and private schools this year, including 14.9 million in high schools.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Brandon P.
Review for Every Girls Dream, Inc., Eastpointe, MI, USA
With my Mom having such an active role in EGD, its hard not to catch the fever of volunteering along with her. I've done every possible job there could be as a volunteer, from collecting dresses from generous brides to modeling them for photos and fashion shows for EGD dress drives. The work is hard and time consuming but its also rewarding and fun.
Times are tough and a lot of people are having to make tough decisions with regards to their finances. When it comes to feeding your family or having the perfect wedding dress the choice is clear but it is also difficult. Thanks to EGD, women across our community arent being forced to let go of their dream of their perfect wedding. EVERY woman deserves to be beautiful on her wedding day... and EGD makes that possible.
When a woman steps into a wedding gown she transforms. Shes not just a mother or a sister or a daughter anymore... she is a bride... Gods compliment to a man... someones future life mate. I have volunteered with EGD since the very beginning and I can tell you from multiple experiences that nothing makes me feel better or more apart of our community when a bride in need steps in front of the mirror and cries tears of joy at having found her perfect gown.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The faces of the brides we've helped. I cant number the times a bride has seen her reflection in the mirror or a mother has looked at her daughter and their eyes misted with tears because they found the ONE dress that makes them a bride.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would ask for more volunteers! Some of the events can get pretty big and to have more hands to help with fittings or modeling, or dress handling would be great!
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?

With weights
Overall I am looking to drop about 20-25 pounds (go from 190 to 165-170, I competed at 160). I am likely not going to get into true contest condition, I just dont have the same life I did back then to allow that to happen for me right now (had a baby in august so that has to be my priority). But I am shooting for "4 weeks out" type of condition.
I think I'm largely going to stick with my current training plan (5/3/1 with a rotating assistance template), and "dance with who brought me" in terms of my previous leaning out efforts (methodically and systematically ramping up cardio, lowering calories, and diet on a keto + weekly cheat with occasional Pulse Fasts in the final weeks)
I probably wont add any cardio until 12 weeks out, both because I dont think its necessary for me at my current level and because I have an infant in the house and probably wont be able to time wise until he is around that age (but what do I know? Its my first kid, so maybe it will only get more time intensive at the 6-9 months range)
I may sub out some assistance work on leg day for farmers walks or another loaded carry towards the end as well.
In general though I dont think the actual weight training should change much for a prep, maybe a little lighter at the very end to avoid injury when you are very depleted but otherwise I will just keep on trucking.
Congrats man!
Our son just turned 1 in October and dude is exhausting, lol... When people say "once they start walking you'll never sit down" they aren't kidding. It's pretty awesome being a dad, though.
Has anyone tried RP-21?https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/lift-like-a-monster-look-like-a-hero
I'm currently in my first week of a 3-week cycle of 531 that's pretty much building the monolith but with the volume toned down. I just finished a 3week cycle of regular 531 and just wanna see how it compares. If I like it I'm gonna start my contest prep Jan 1 off with a few cycles of the full blown building the monolith program.
For conditioning I'm trying out the "spot reduction cardio" that CT was talking about where you do abs in between cardio. I'm starting out Mon and Fri doing the steady state (elliptical and such) for 3 rounds of 10 minutes with 3 sets of abs (hanging leg raises on Mon and an roll outs on Fri) between every round.
Then on Sundays I'm doing the farmers carries/abs combo
Over the course of the 6 mos I'll probably start switching the steady state to sprints or some other kind of shitty conditioning like bear crawls or some such
same shit as usual but with cardio
Just to get a very informal count of Who's In, here is an unofficial "sign up" (anonymous)
Choose up to 2 options
What do you think about having a winner for best transformation and one for best physique?
i will keep my 3 day push pull legs split. on april 1st i will start adding cardio and a little bit ab work slowly and it will get harder each week. last 2 weeks will be very intense and i will be doing cardio 6 times a week.
i am thinking about reducing the volume of my weight workouts as the cardio goes up.
last year i followed this plan and it worked really well. i had never been that lean before in my life. even my lower ab flab disappeared.
Not much point in the best physique award, in my opinion. Flip and Eyedentist are so far ahead the rest of us already it'd be a two horse race from the start.
The cool thing about the best transformation is it's not how great your physique is, but how much you improve, so even if your physique isn't photo shoot-worthy by the end, you could still have lost like 200lbs (if you started really heavy) and that'd be more impressive than someone going from 12% fat to 8%. Know what I mean?
Definitely going to be a fun watch. With regard to the pics, I always suggest that people take their photos in the exact same place each week, and obviously do their best to maintain the same lighting. The idea to to actually be able to discern changes and progress, not go for that magic photo at the end (of course there are always tricks you can do before that last series of pics to make the most of what you've accomplished -lol)
I'm going to be eating pizza, drinking soda and generally doing everything I can to make my "before" pic as terrible as possible.
I'm not going to do anything for my before pic, I just don't see the point of it.
I'm going to black out my head any ways, so might as well just take any unknown Instagram physique guy and blackout the head. Voila, no photoshop needed.
In seriousness though, I'm afraid that if I let my diet go until 1/1/17, I'll relapse into my crackhead-like addiction to ice cream.
Literally just ate a boritto bowl, bag of chips, guacamole, and a coke...
I'm gonna start on Monday, though...
Now that's a transformation. Ice cream addicted sloppy bastard to lean and mean chicken breast chomping mofo.
Coincidentally I start my contest prep January 1, I'll be going to Stu's in the next couple weeks for some training, posing and most definitely eating! It is hard though, as it gets closer I find myself in the "oh man I have so much I need to eat before I can't eat it for 6 months" mode, gotta be careful!
It's horrible. If I didn't love working out and generally being active, I'd be a giant tub of lard. There were several weeks this summer where I ate two pints of Ben and Jerry's a day. I slowly had to ween myself off to one a day, then to every other day.. I'm a full 40-some-odd-days clean and sober.
speaks in macho manly voice
If you love working out, you ain't working out hard enough.
I imagine you saying that similar to Mr. Rourke, with the dramatic music.
I'm a self sabotaging masochist.

Being human with weaknesses, at times when so much is going on around us, we forget all of the many promises from Father God, to us His children. One thing is certain, He remains honorable and full of compassion, even when we are weak and concerned, at that which we are challenged with in our lives.
God's Word stands forever, as does the redemption of His people through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Out of His great mercy, He always provides for those who love Him and follow His ways.
God's reassurance, provision, and love is readily available even in the midst of lack, turmoil and fear. He always protects and saves those who love Him, and will keep us safe. Be encouraged today!
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Isaiah 40:29

Grill Chicken In Your Sleep
How does coming back from work, taking out some chicken legs from the fridge, thawing and then marinating them, then going off for a walk/ to the gym/ for yoga, then coming back and bunging the chicken into the oven, going for a shower, coming out and sitting down for dinner sound to you?
If it sounds like a plan then you will agree that buying an oven is the smartest thing a guy can do for the kitchen. Yes, you can bake cakes, make bread and all that too but even if you don't plan to be a miracle worker, an oven's quite a handy thing to have in the kitchen.
This recipe for a Mediterranean themed Grilled Chicken with Baked Potatoes will tell you why.
Ingredients (For 2) :
That's it. Dinner's ready. Time to plate up

Four Seasons Recommends-
As grilled chicken is crisp on the outside and juicer within, it will be best complemented with Four Seasons Merlot. The velvety tannins of Merlot will cut through the protein in the meat, making it softer and give you a lovely after taste with a long finish.

I've been hacking wordpress again.
This time, I've added a plugin that scans the content of a comment, and any URL it finds is checked against a public list at surbl.org.
What's great about this list is that if a spammer uses a site to "sell" his stuff (say, 'www.ultra-cheap-crap.info') he has to link tot hat site in his spam messages. surbl.org lists the sites used by spammers in this way.
Which means, if a comment is posted that mentions a site that is used by spammers, it is assumed that it is comment-spam. Usually, that is true, since most comment spam I've seen is of the form "I think you'd like to check out www.my-crappy-shit.com"
You can download the wordpress plugin here and view the source here. Just drop it in your plugins folder and activate.
It also incorporates my earlier plugin that checks against dsbl.org.

Meet Your Peers
Advising Peers in Hardin Hub
Bailey Desimone
Major: History
Global Studies
Minor: German Language
See me to talk about CAPS, Student Wellness, Housing & Residential Education, The Honor System, New Student & Carolina Parent Programs, Dean of Students services, Office of Scholarships & Student Aid!
In my opinion, one of the greatest experiences is feeling a bright sense of positivity when you take in all that Carolina's campus has to offer. For me, that feeling is brightest whenever I leave Steele or Hardin after an appointment with my advisor. Academic Advising has always provided me with reassurance about my own personal talents, skills, and interests, reminding me that there is always a way to apply them here at Carolina. During my time as an Orientation Leader, I felt such strong connections with my students when they would talk with me about their ideal plans for their time here and beyond, and the different types of passions they had and wanted to learn more about. I became an Advising Peer to learn more about my fellow students on campus and hopefully inspire them the way they always inspire me. I aspire to instill that feeling of excitement and hope with each student I advise, the way my advisors have done (and still do!) for me.
Why I love CarolinaI never had a 'dream school', or a 'top choice'; quite frankly, I was wholly unsure of how I wanted my college experience to be. I toured every school I applied to, and when I finally toured Carolina, strangely enough, the trees stuck out to me. I am an artsy sort of person who adores the transcendentalists, so being on this campus, with all of the old, beautiful trees, was a delight. The unmistakable aura of prestige and history in an already beautiful place made me feel as though I were right at home. I am entirely assured that I made the right choice. I never feel limited in my potential to succeed and there is always somewhere beautiful outside to be explored.
How I Chose My Majors & StudiesTo make a long story short, I am doing what I love. After several changes to my declared major in the system, I settled on a double major in History and Global Studies. Both of these majors gave me the option to take courses from my favorite department as well as take interdisciplinary courses that would allow me to explore new subjects and branch out in terms of knowledge and interests. I recently added on a minor in German, as I am hoping to study abroad in Germany within the next couple of years as a part of a program dedicated to learning about international politics. This course has allowed me to rekindle a dream of mine I've had since middle school, of going to law school following my graduation. I hadn't felt confident in my skills and abilities until I came to Carolina, where I am now happy to call myself a pre-law student who hopes to practice international law someday. Even so, I wouldn't mind if I became the curator of a museum or a library one day. Either way, I know that my course of study here at Carolina is leading me towards potential careers that I will most definitely love, and that I can most definitely make a difference with.
Advice on Getting the Most Out of Your Carolina ExperienceI arrived at Carolina confused about nearly everything. I hadn't the slightest idea of what I wanted to major in, what kinds of courses I was interested in taking, and above all, how to succeed. In my experience, the best way to meet new people and get yourself involved in campus life is simple: take it at your own pace. If you need some time to adjust, by all means, take that time for yourself. Everyone's college experience is different, and it's definitely worth waiting for. The best part of it all is that you won't feel as though you have to gauge yourself on how 'involved' or 'successful' you feel – it will come naturally. All you have to do is keep an open mind and be willing to try new things as you are able. Carolina is a place where you are encouraged to explore outside of your comfort zone while having it benefit you in amazing ways through the people you meet and the things you see, do, and learn. The bottom line is this: stay true to yourself – don't give up on your passions, but always be open to the new things that come your way.
Making an ImpactIn the late fall of my first semester at Carolina, I received a recommendation e-mail from the Office of New Student and Carolina Parent Programs, stating that I had been recommended by one of my peers to apply for the position of Orientation Leader. As an introvert who hadn't made very many friends at Carolina yet and was still struggling to adapt to the differences of college life, I immediately felt doubtful. Nonetheless, something compelled me to fill out the application, and I was incredibly surprised when I received the offer for the position that December. As I met my future teammates and close friends, I found myself learning about the plentiful opportunities Carolina has to offer, as well as growing as not only a student leader, but a person. Meeting so many wonderful students and faculty members through my time as an Orientation Leader left me with fond memories of learning experiences both enlightening and challenging, as well as giving me a sense of purpose. The e-mail I received so long ago led me to a wonderful adventure of self-discovery, and it completely restored the confidence in myself that I needed to be successful at Carolina. My advice to you is to do what I did when I received that first e-mai – take a chance. Make an adventure out of your time here, and be open to what you'll learn along the way. Anything could happen.
Fun Facts About MeI love to paint the mountains and they sky, obsessively play Pokémon games, and walk through rivers on sunny days. Life is best when you're fancily dressed, autumn is my favorite season, and I can think of no better way to spend a Saturday night than swing dancing. I am an amateur ocarina player whenever I feel like it, my favorite color is turquoise, and my favorite kinds of clouds look like paintbrush strokes.

Major: History
I became an Advising Peer because I have a passion for helping fellow students realize their potential. I believe that academic success is key to having a great college experience.
Why I love CarolinaI chose Carolina because of the wealth of opportunities and support the school offers. The University's diversity is one of its biggest perks because everything remains fresh and new; nothing ever gets stale here. For these reasons I have grown to love Carolina.
How I Chose My MajorSimply put, I have a passion for History. I think it is important to know about forces and events from the past in order to explain what is going on in the world today. Also I think History serves as a good basis for my other interests, like German and Philosophy.
How I Have Grown at CarolinaDuring my first year here at Carolina, I simply did not know or like myself. As one can imagine, lacking self-confidence and certainty can negatively impact your academic/social progress in college. I considered dropping out on a number of occasions and I always questioned what my worth as a person. But being here at Carolina has taught me one thing: I am someone with the ability to realize my huge potential, and that the failures I had/am currently going through will validate the successes I will enjoy in the future.
As Carolina students we may get caught up in the competition, wanting to excel and be the best. All that is fine, but I challenge students to never doubt their self-worth and ability.
Resources I RecommendI definitely recommend Counseling and Psychological Services and The Learning and Writing Centers. The Learning and Writing Center always offers tutoring and support, tips and tricks that helps students get through their coursework with success. With CAPS, it is important for all students to take care of of their physical and mental well-being.
Fun Facts About MeI love (can speak very little) German, the language everyone seems to think is harsh. I do Monkey Kung Fu (but I would rather not fight lol), play piano, draw (even though I have not done anything in awhile), play basketball with friends, reading, and traveling. Oh yea, I like to dance (but the only move I know is the cabbage patch).
JD Hastings
Major:Management & Society and Sociology doubleI chose to be an Advising Peer because I am looking to go into the field of Higher Education Administration. I really enjoy helping people getting people to where they need to be in order to succeed. I feel that the Advising Peer Program is a fantastic way to gain experience in the Higher Education field and to be involved on campus.
How I chose my majorsI chose my majors after a couple mishaps with other majors. For the longest time I thought I wanted to go into science, just because I felt like that's what people would admire the most. After getting my butt kicked in a few Biology classes, I quickly reverted to the drawing board. It took me a while, but I finally realized that I wanted to go into a field that heavily dealt with people. In Sociology and Management and Society, that's about all there is. I also feel like these two majors will be great to have when going into the Higher Education field, because they are so heavily involved with social interaction.

Why I Am an Advising PeerI am seriously considering Academic Advising as a career so being an Advising Peer was an obvious choice for me! This program is a wonderful opportunity to help my peers get the most out of their time here at UNC and make them feel more confident in their academic choices.
Why I love CarolinaI love Carolina in so many ways it's impossible to list them all! This school has so much to offer whether it be amazing sports teams, a breathtakingly beautiful campus, and most importantly awesome people! Everyone here is so passionate and they do such great things for the school, the community, and beyond. I feel like Carolina students inspire each other to be more than they ever thought they could be!
How I Am Choosing An Area of StudyI am still undecided but am most likely going to be a History Major with a concentration in American History. I think that being undecided actually has not hurt me in the least! I have taken what interest me while knocking out general education requirements in the process. College is about self-exploration and unless you have a lengthy major in mind that will take every bit of your 8 semesters here why not try a few things out first to find what you love?
How to Get InvolvedAsk, ask, ask! Ask your friends what clubs they are in and if it sounds interesting tag along to a meeting. Ask the people in the pit about the groups they represent, I mean that is why they are out there. You never know what opportunities you will discover from one of your amazing peers. Getting involved can help you gain lifelong friendships and crucial experience for life beyond Carolina!
A Big Challenge I've Faced in CollegeMy toughest struggle was adjusting to college life at the beginning of my freshmen year. I was not happy here despite how much I loved the school. I was accustomed to a tiny high school where I knew everyone and they knew me. I hated not knowing anyone and was considering transferring. Luckily intramural volleyball season started just in time. I joined a team alone and I met girls that are now some of my closest friends on campus! It's hard to get yourself out there at first but once I did I was finally happy and able to begin enjoying my time at my dream school!
My FavoritesFavorite Things: PUPPIES
The Pittsburgh Steelers
Carolina, duh
Resources I RecommendITS: UNC Secure, that is why you should visit them. They will get your computer and the finicky wifi we have here working together again quickly so you can finish that online assignment you have been putting off!
CAPS: It's tough here at Carolina and being at college in general. Sometimes you might feel overwhelmed and anxious and if you cannot deal with alone CAPS is there for you! Utilize it so you can feel better and get back to enjoying "the greatest 4 years of your life".
Peer Tutoring: These guys are awesome! If you are intimidated by office hours or just don't get the professor's teaching style this is a great alternative. You can have a fellow student help you understand material and get great study tips along they way!

VigRX Results, Ingredients, Price & Side Effects
One specific attribute certainly helps VigRX Plus stand out above everything else, even though the male enhancement market is one that can definitely be extremely crowded. Every month, it always seems that a new product is being introduced that takes the market by storm.
Of course, this is something that shouldn't really surprise everyone, especially since there is such a huge demand for many different kinds of male enhancement products, ranging from pills to liquids.
However, there are actually some good male enhancement products that seem to find their way onto the market; however, there are also some male enhancement products that are not as good, which is why they end up not lasting as long as products such as vigrx plus.
VigRX Plus is a male enhancement product that has been on the market for quite a long time now thanks in large part to its overall quality rather than its massive advertising campaign. Quite frankly, this VigRX review page wouldn't even be in existence if the product itself wasn't a good one.
What Exactly Does VigRX Plus Do?
There are many different ways that VigRX Plus works in terms of male enhancement, with the most sought after benefit focusing on increased penis erection length and girth.
This is a benefit that can be achieved thanks to the many different herbal ingredients contained within a single vigrx plus capsule, which causes additional blood flow to be driven to the chambers of the penis. It is recommended that you use these capsules in conjunction with manual penis length and girth increasing exercises in order to achieve the best and most positive results.
Increased blood flow to the penis will also have a very positive effect as well. This is something that can cause erections to become both fuller and harder, meaning that VigRX Plus can essentially work as a more natural form of Viagara, especially for those individuals who are dealing with erection strength weakness issues.

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 everyone!
As this is my first champion build ever, don't expect it to be perfect, hehe. That said, the reason I wanted to share my way of playing the epic champion Swain is because he is extremely fun to play. I can't remember how many hours of fun I've had with this champ =D
This guide was originally intended to be a guide for the Twisted Treeline , but no one, that I play with, likes the new map, so I guess this will be a guide for playing Swain on Summoner's Rift .
Another reason I'm making this guide is to complete a school assignment that required me to contribute to an online community. What community would be better to contribute to than the Mobafire community?
Anyways, I'm pretty sure you didn't come to this guide to see me ranting on and on about things that have nothing to do with this champion =)
About Swain
Swain is a ranged AP champion which excels at close/mid range combat. He is very tanky and can also easily carry your game. Swain's CC abilities Nevermove and Decrepify combined with his short cooldown ultimate Ravenous Flock will make him a very large threat for any enemy team.
Also, Swain's ability Torment will amplify all damage done by his spells or autoattacks, which means that he can do a very scary amount of damage to an unsuspecting enemy in a very quick combo.
If that wasn't enough, his passive ability Carrion Renewal will allow Swain to stay in lane almost indefinitely.
Whether you're facing a single enemy or an entire team, Swain will make quick work of them should they engage him.
Pros / Cons
Why would you play Swain? Well let's see. There are a number of pros and cons to playing this champion. I will list a few that I have come across while playing him.
+ Very good lane sustain.
+ Several forms of CC.
+ Able to burst down champions.
+ Able to deal constant damage as well.
+ Quite tanky.
- Weak against control impairing effects.
- Must get close to deal alot of damage.
- Healing reduction cripples his survivability greatly.
- Not an easy champ to master.
There are alot of things about this champion that are really good, but you must be aware of his limitations when deciding what you do on the battlefield.
As far as the runes go, the picks are quite diverse and I will explain the choices I have made for the runes I'm using in this build. The reason I am only showing you the Greater (tier 3) runes is that the lower tier runes are simply not worth spending your precious Influence Points on. If you are over level 20, then runes are DEFINITELY worth buying, as they can increase your champions performance greatly.
The quintessences I am using in this build are Greater Quintessence of Scaling Ability Power. These quints are quite good as you level up your champ. The reason I'm picking these over Greater Quintessence of Ability Power is that, although the starting AP is nice, the scaling quints will give more AP once you reach level 12 and up. That means you will continue improving your AP, which in turn, gives you more damage output.
The marks that I am using in this build are the Greater Mark of Ability Power x9. This increases my starting AP, which means that you can deal more damage to the enemy champion in your lane.
There are other options for this slot if you feel that this mark is not for you. These marks are Greater Mark of Magic Penetration or Greater Mark of Scaling Ability Power.
The glyphs I'm using, Greater Glyph of Magic Resist, are perhaps not the standard caster glyphs you would expect, but I find them to be very effective as it builds up your tankyness versus other casters.
There are other options for this slot if you feel that this glyph is not for you. These glyphs could be Greater Glyph of Mana Regeneration, Greater Glyph of Magic Penetration, Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction or Greater Glyph of Ability Power.
Perhaps also not the most common choice for casters, but I find Greater Seal of Armor to be quite effective on Swain as this seal builds towards his tankyness versus AD champions. The damage reduction just might be the decider between life or death in a gank or teamfight.
The other options for the seals are pretty much the same as the glyphs. You could use Greater Seal of Cooldown Reduction, Greater Seal of Ability Power, Greater Seal of Magic Penetration or Greater Seal of Mana Regeneration.
With the coming of the new season, masteries have changed and I have remade my Swain page a little different than before by maximising damage output, while also stacking survivability. I will try and highlight some of the choices in this 21/9/0 build below.
The offense tree is what you would expect of a typical caster build, it has the standard picks for pretty much all the caster mastery setups. Though there are a few things you could change, should you feel that this isn't exactly working for you.
In Tier 1, I have chosen Summoner's Wrath and Sorcery. These will provide you with a good starting amount of cooldown reduction and it will give you +5 AP/AD whenever your ignite is on cooldown. If you are having trouble last hitting minions, you could opt in spending 2 points on Butcher as this mastery will increase the damage on your basic attacks.
In Tier 2, there is really only one choice. This is ofcourse Blast . This mastery will give you 1 AP per level and it builds into the next tier ability which increases your damage output by a nice amount.
In Tier 3, you must at least pick Arcane Knowledge as it provides you with a nice 8% magic penetration. This mastery will make you do more damage. If you have not chosen the Butcher mastery in tier 1, then you should pick up 2 points in Havoc , as this mastery will increase your damage by a flat 1,33% at rank 2.
In Tier 4, the right side of the tree is the way to go. Mental Force for some extra AP and Spellsword to boost your basic attacks by adding 5% of your AP as magic damage.
In Tier 5 and 6, the choices are pretty standard as Archmage will boost your AP by 5% and Executioner will increase all damage you deal by 5% to targets below 50% health.
With the latest update on items, I find it quite hard to run out of mana on Swain unless I am constantly using Ravenous Flock. This is the main reason I am no longer using the Utility tree. The cooldown reduction on summoner spells and the extended duration on blue buff is still nice, but not as nessecary as before. That is why I have picked some defensive masteries instead. This makes an already tanky champ able to take even more damage before having to back out of a fight.
In Tier 1, I believe there only one viable choice that will benefit Swain the most. Durability will give you a nice flat health boost per level.
In Tier 2, you are forced to upgrade your armor with Hardiness and your magic resist with Resistance , because Bladed Armor is grayed out and also pretty pointless for this champ anyway.
Champions that play in the middle lane often have long-range skill shot based abilities. Swain on the other hand, does not. This means that Swain will have to move closer to his enemies than other champions. Luckily, once he IS in range for his spells, they will deal a surprisingly good amount of damage. Below is a list of all his spells.
- Carrion Renewal (Passive): This ability is one of the reasons you can stay in your lane for an extended period of time. It also makes last hitting minions crucial. Once you are higher level, clearing minion waves will be easier, and will reward you with plenty of mana returns.
- Decrepify (Q): This ability is one of your CC abilities, you will slow the target it's cast on and deals damage while it channels. Often the last priority in your rotation as it is best used when you are in melee range of the enemy.
- Nevermove (W): This ability is the one that will make you overpower your lane and deal a ton of damage to your enemies. It can be used during the laning phase as a way to clear groups of minions or trap an enemy champion. In teamfights, try and use this ability to trap as many enemy champions as you can.
- Torment (E): This ability is one of the strongest abilities Swain has. If cast on an enemy target, it will deal damage over time, but more importantly, it will make them take increased damage from your attacks. Use this as an opener to maximise your damage output.
- Ravenous Flock (R): This ability is your Ultimate ability and it will transform you into a giant walking bird-man creature. It shoots out 3 ravens at nearby enemies and for each raven dealing damage, you will receive 50% of the damage dealt as health in return. Use this ability whenever you want to clear a wave of minions, need some heals or make that enemy champion regret his decision to come close to you.
|At a first glance you might wonder why I don't max out Torment first, since it is clearly the most damaging ability. My goal, however, is not to deal the most damage I can. I want to dominate the lane, and to do just that, I will need my Nevermove to deal enough damage for me to scare the enemy champion into hiding at his tower and enough damage to effectively kill the minions. Torment is however the skill I max second, because it is much more efficient than Decrepify. The reason for this is that Decrepify requires a target to stay in range, otherwise it will stop channeling and you lose its effect as well as its damage. You should ofcourse take your Ravenous Flock whenever you can, because it will allow you to kill the minions even faster, while also making sure the enemy champion won't come near you (if he does, he will be very sorry ;)).
Summoner Spells
Summoner spells are quite varied. Some spells are very useful to bring to a game, but there are also spells that are not as useful. I will list, what I believe are, the best summoner spells you can use when playing Swain.
Flash: If you are over level 12, then you will probably take this as your main movement spell. It provides great utility, whether you are chasing an enemy champion, or trying to escape from a bad situation. Be careful when using this to jump over walls, as it might not always work out the way you hope ;).
Ignite: This spell is the best offensive spell you can pick, simply because it gives you an extra dot that might just finish off that champ who otherwise had gotten away. When it is on cooldown it will grant you a damage bonus (if you picked that specific mastery).
Ghost: This spell is a great movement utility spell. It allows you to chase your enemies, or run away from a bad situation. Take this if you are not yet level 12, or you don't think Flash is the right spell for you.
Teleport: This spell is not an offensive spell such as ignite, but it will allow you to return to your lane very quickly when you are in your base. This spell also lets you teleport into other lanes where your teammates might need help. Overall, a solid spell to take if you lane in mid.
Clarity: This spell could be worth taking if you don't have alot of experience with Swain and you are running into mana problems constantly.
Exhaust: This spell is a pretty good disable that you can use to slow your enemies. It is most effective against AD champs as it will slow their attack speed as well. However, it is not often that you will face an AD champ in the mid lane.
Heal: This spell is only worth considering if you have very little experience with Swain and it can help you to survive fights you might not have been ready to enter yet. You can also use it to help your teammates survive a gank/teamfight.
Barrier: Again, a very defensive spell designed to keep you alive in a bad situation. Take this if you don't have alot of experience playing Swain and you think you could use a lifesaver.
In this chapter you will come across a list of items that I believe work great with a champion like Swain.
When you enter a new game, you have a few options in picking a good starter item. I usually go with Doran's Ring, because it is a great item that boosts health, mana regeneration and ability power. However, depending on your lane opponent, you could choose to bring boots and pots if you need to dodge alot of skill shots (or if you just like the movement speed bonus it gives).
Here you have the items that you will want to build into over the course of the game. You don't necessarily have to buy them in this order, but I do advise to get Rod of Ages as soon as you can. The reason for this is that it requires time (10 minutes) to build up to its full potential.
If you are doing poorly on getting last hits on minions, you can buy all the smaller components and complete them at a later stage of the game. Some people suggest that dropping the nerfed Rabadon's Deathcap from the core items is not that bad of an idea, since there are a few items that could replace it. I personally think that the sheer amount of ability power it gives is still reason enough to buy this item.
The optional items are items that you could pick to finish your build once you've gotten your core items. If you like, you can also swap a core item for one of these. Here's a list with my thoughts on these items.
- Deathfire Grasp: This item is very strong in the new season and should possibly be in the core items. However, I'm not that much of a fan of active items. The effect from this item stacks with your Torment, which makes it a solid choice.
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter: I've always liked this item, simply because of the slow it gives when you hit your spells. This could mean a possible longer channel duration on Decrepify, a better chance of hitting Nevermove or just the overall damage you can land on an enemy.
- Void Staff: This item is usually bought in the late game. As the game progresses, your enemies might stack magic resistance to minimize the damage they receive from you. With this item you can bypass some of that resistance.
- Abyssal Mask: Pretty much the same deal as Void Staff, although this item will give bonus magic penetration for your entire team. This item can serve really well when you get up close and personal in team fights.
- Zhonya's Hourglass: This is also an item that I could see being a core item, since it gives you a real high amount of ability power, but also a great deal of survivability. The passive armor bonus always helps you, but the active is the interesting part of this item. The active on this item allows you to become untargetable while your Ravenous Flock is active, giving you a few seconds of free heals and still deal damage around you.
- Will of the Ancients: This item is a great way to boost your survivability, as it gives you spellvamp.
- Spirit Visage: This item is often overlooked by players since it's not the typical caster item that you would get to round up your build. Although with Swains ability to heal himself in his ultimate form, this is actually quite nice. It will improve your survivability by a reasonable amount.
- Seraph's Embrace: Finally, the former glass cannon item. Archangel staff is a good item to build for this champion now, since after you've filled up the stacks, you're rewarded with a good chunk of mana and a shield you can activate to absorb some damage.
These enchantments are pretty much up to yourself to decide what you like, but I think these two are the most effective enchantments for Swain. Try and pick one of these up between mid/late game whenever you have some leftover gold.
- Enchantment: Furor: This enchantment gives you bonus movement speed whenever you deal damage to an enemy. This makes it ideal for Swain since it will refresh constantly when you are close to your enemies in your ultimate form, making it easier for you to keep up with them.
- Enchantment: Alacrity: This enchantment gives you a flat movement speed bonus, which is pretty great. Swain is not the fastest of champs, but this will make him keep up a bit easier.
General Gameplay
In this chapter I will try and describe a few pointers you should keep in mind while playing in the middle lane. If you're completely new to this lane, you might want to find a good guide on this subject here on MobaFire, or do the tutorials in game.
Here are some tips:
- Watch the minimap often: Good situational awareness can help you survive a potential gank on mid, see if a team mate needs help or to just notify your team what the enemy is up to.
- Don't overextend: Don't push the minions near the tower unless you know that there is no way you can get attacked from behind. Possibly buy some wards for the river to make sure you can go ahead and push.
- Communicate with your jungler/team: Good communication leads to better teamplay. If you keep your teammates informed about your lane opponent's whereabouts, they will know when to play more careful or when to come in for the kill.
- Stay on the move: Rarely have I played games where I could just stand still by the minions and last hit them. Try and learn to move every few seconds, so the enemy champ has a harder time hitting you with his/her skill shots. This might take a little practice, as Swain isn't that fast, but a good tactic is to never move the same way more than once (to avoid patterns that your opponent can adapt to).
Whatever way you play Swain, he will never stop to be amazing. Whether you are playing very tanky or just full AP carry, your enemies will run away from you as soon as they see you coming down the lane.
Should you have any questions or remarks about this guide, please feel free to post in the comments section. If this guide has helped you in any way, I would appreciate an upvote, but I won't force you. If you really feel the need to downvote, please leave a reaction as to why.
Finally, I would like to thank jhoijhoi for providing the tools that helped me create this guide. Excellent guides! =)
Good luck destroying your enemies!

Solid Wood Bed Frames – The level of interest in eco-friendly furnishings has picked up much momentum more than the past decade. Purchasers all more than the planet are shopping for sustainable furnishings, obtaining they can meet two ambitions in a single stroke, with higher quality furniture that meets higher environmental requirements as effectively.
The overall purpose of sustainable furnishings is to develop high high quality merchandise that will advantage consumers, without harming the atmosphere along the way. There are several qualities that can make it sustainable. One characteristic is that the materials utilised in building must be all-natural and renewable merchandise.
This assists to guarantee that synthetics or toxic supplies are not going to take a unfavorable toll on the atmosphere upon getting disposed of. In the furniture field, employing sustainable solid wood is the most successful way of reaching this. Wood goods are considered sustainable when they are harvested at the correct rate so that the forest is in a position to replenish itself. For example, bamboo can be harvested to make furniture, with the next crop rapidly developing in its location.
It is crucial to make a priority of avoiding use of toxic supplies. Some furnishings is completed with toxic stains and chemical substances that can damage the environment in the course of manufacture, use, and at the time of disposal. Of specific concern are products containing VOC's. These are carbon merchandise that evaporate simply at room temperature and exposure to them can lead to harmful overall health effects, according to the EPA. These include allergic reactions, nose and throat discomfort, headache, and asthma attacks. There are non-toxic finishes, such as Danish Linseed, obtainable to avoid these difficulties.
Numerous companies make a decision on their personal that what they are constructing should be considered sustainable furnishings. Other folks understand the value of receiving certification through third party organizations for a lot more certainty and more credibility. Any organization can say that they are creating sustainable furniture but this is not constantly the case. The Forest Stewardship Council is a widespread provider of certification for goods that are environmentally friendly.
Elements taken into account in certification incorporate producing confident that there is a suitable forest management program in location at the location where the wood is harvested, and that suitable environmentally friendly process is followed at all stages. This includes the loggers, lumber wholesalers, furniture makers, and retailers involved. Production facilities should market power efficiency, conserve resources, and keep away from use of toxic components.
In addition it is vital to think about the crucial factor of how the merchandise are transported from the factory to purchasers. These that do not need a long travel distance or take up a lot of space are considered to be the far better environmental selection.
Whether furnishings is regarded as sustainable or not, it is meant for sensible use. Furniture that serves more than a single purpose and is constructed to last is a lot better for the environment. It will reduce the demand for new items and decrease landfill waste. A lot of companies are realizing this and excellent quality sustainable furnishings merchandise are readily obtainable for dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. For instance, wood bed frames produced from higher high quality difficult wood will be structurally powerful, resistant to abrasion, and as a result tend to final a lot longer.
Going green and becoming eco-friendly in the home is something worth critical consideration to many men and women. Our homes are our private nests where we anticipate to be able to rest, rejuvenate, and heal. To this finish, getting natural and sustainable furnishings can aid create a house environment exactly where we can much better stay away from unhealthy influences from additives and synthetics, and at the identical time, know that we are assisting and not damaging the environment. It is a great investment on many levels.

This week, Airbus held a seminar in London on the A340. Yes, the same A340 that went out of production two years ago. It seems Airbus is trying to reassure nervous stakeholders that there's still life in this airplane.
What's at stake for Airbus? Quite a bit. They're trying to bolster the value of these airplanes since it's speculated that Airbus has a potential liability on RVGs (Residual Value Guarantee) for the A340-500 and A340-600 that could total $2 billion USD.
I've seen a lot of coverage that came out of the Airbus seminar, mostly focused on the same old claims about the A340's capabilities. The fact is, the A340 came to an early end because airlines didn't want to buy it. It couldn't compete with the 777 because it was inefficient (the 777-300ER proved to be 30+ percent more fuel efficient per seat than the A340-600), had high maintenance and operating costs, poor reliability, and offered a passenger experience that couldn't compete with the 777.
One of the more interesting nuggets to emerge from that A340 seminar was the idea to reconfigure the airplane with narrow seats, narrow arm rests and narrow aisles to increase seat count. It's what John Leahy called "revolutionizing A340 economics."
But John apparently forgot what he was pushing just a few weeks ago—an industry-wide standard of 18-inch seats on long haul airplanes. So what would a seat look like on these revamped A340s? 16.7 inches… well short of Airbus' own standard.
In our view, passenger experience isn't just measured by the width of a seat. That's why we continue to work with our customers to give them the flexibility to showcase their brand, provide a great overall passenger experience and provide the economics that work for them and their passengers. It's hard to go wrong when you listen to the customer.

Katie Price stepdad rape trial: Woman 'attacked in woods' claims accused is sex addict
A WOMAN who alleges she was raped by Katie Price's stepdad also claims her accuser is a sex addict whose wife said he would "have it everyday if he could", a court heard.
The complainant claims she had been taking a taxi home with Paul Price, 53, after a night out in Worthing, West Sussex, when the alleged incident happened in March last year.
As they were heading home she got out of the taxi with Price so she could be sick, the court heard.
Price then took her to a wooded area where he raped her, she alleges.
Appearing in court on Friday the woman denied being an attention seeker who aimed to sell her story to the newspapers.
The woman described a conversation she had with Paul's wife, Amy Price, who is the mother of Katie Price.
She said: "We were going over family issues about sex addiction.
"She said Paul would have it every day if he could.
"I said I wished some of that would rub off on my husband, we're like George and Mildred."
"I thought I wouldn't get out of the woods alive"Alleged victim
Price — who glamour model Katie calls dad — denies the charges against him at Chichester Crown Court.
After the alleged attack, the woman then flagged down a white van before getting into another taxi with Price.
In police interview, she said Price had then kissed her inside the car and they would have looked like a "couple making out".
But when asked by Abigail Penny, defending, if she had kissed Price, the complainant said she had not.
She told the court: "He was all over me in the taxi, I was staring directly behind the taxi driver, I was hoping to get home as quickly as possible having just been raped, I was fearful of what might happen."
"I didn't put up a fight, I thought the best thing and safest thing was to get home where my husband is," she added.
Breaking down in tears, the alleged victim who gave evidence behind a screen, said: "I thought I wouldn't get out of the woods alive."
The complainant alleges that Price then raped her a second time near to his home.
When asked why she didn't ask for help from the van or taxi drivers, the complainant said that she was in shock.
She admitted that she had posted on Facebook about the allegations, saying she hoped "justice is served".
Ms Penny asked her: "Are you an attention seeker?", to which she replied: "No."
The complainant's husband said he headed home from the night out earlier than her and he was asleep when she arrived home.
He told the court: "The next thing I remember is my wife coming into the bedroom, shaking me, I woke up and she told me Paul had raped her."
He continued: "She looked absolutely shocked, I do not think I have ever seen her look like that, her face was unbelievable, she looked an absolute shock."
Price, of Angmering, West Sussex, denies two charges of rape and the trial continues.

In late 1940′s New York, one man is both feared and revered above all: Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), the "Godfather" and head of the Corleone family. At his side are his eldest son, the hot-tempered Santino aka "Sonny" (James Caan), his middle child, the insecure Fredo (John Cazale), his adopted son and consigliere Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) and his caporegime Peter Clemenza (Richard Castellano). His youngest son Michael (Al Pacino), viewed a bit like an outcast for rejecting the family "business" and joining the marines has recently returned home, a decorated war hero, with his non-Italian girlfriend Kay Adams (Diane Keaton) to attend the wedding of his sister Connie (Talia Shire).
Things forever change for Michael, though, the moment his father is nearly shot dead by a rival mob family. Fearing an all-out war amongst the Five Families, Michael decides to volunteer in avenging his father's attempted murder. From there, it's no turning back.
Come on. What's to be said that hasn't already been about this film? Get ready 'cause I'm about to gush like a little girl.
It's hard to imagine what this film would look like if Paramount Pictures went with their first choices. What we could've seen was The Godfather directed by Sergio Leone, starring either Laurence Olivier or Ernest Borgnine as Vito Corleone (initially, Paramount refused to cast Brando), Robert Redford or Ryan O'Neal as Michael, Paul Newman as Tom Hagen and Robert De Niro as Sonny (De Niro would later be cast in Part II, which earned him his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor as a young Vito Corleone).
Thankfully, studios don't often go with their first choices (not to take anything away from the aforementioned men in regard to their tremendous talent). One of the many excellent qualities of this film is the pitch-perfect casting of each character.
The late, great Marlon Brando has perfectly embodied many roles in his lifetime. Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront (which earned him his first Best Actor Oscar), Johnny Strabler in The Wild One, Stanley "Stella!" Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, Jor-El in Superman, Col. Walter E. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, you name it, Brando could play it with ease. Make no mistake, though. Brando is Vito Corleone. When we're first introduced to Vito, he's not running down a rival mob family in a hail of gunfire. He's calmly sitting in his office chair, quietly stroking the fur of his pet cat. Yet, he still manages to command both fear and respect. We don't need to see the ruthlessness of Vito play out. We see it in the eyes of those that approach him (such as Luca Brasi anxiously practicing what he will say when he meets the Don). The voice, the mannerisms, his calm yet fearful demeanor over even something as simple as stating, "You never once invited me over for a cup of coffee", Vito was not only a "comeback" role for Brando at the time (earning him his second Best Actor Oscar, which he notoriously boycotted), it's his most iconic.
It's hard to believe as iconic and career defining of a role Michael Corleone was for Al Pacino, it was only his third film. Just like Brando, you can't picture anyone else playing Michael and it's hard to think of another character out of Pacino's resume as perfectly portrayed by him like Michael. Showing restraint for most of the film, which we've come to not expect from him over the years, Pacino gives us one of the most memorably complex character transformations in all of cinema (further developed in Part II). Career defining roles for Pacino such as these also make it much more heartbreaking to see him wasted away in crap like Jack and Jill nowadays. Seriously, Al… why?
With all due respect to Robert De Niro, as great of an actor as he is, James Caan was the right choice for Santino. If you watch any of the audition tapes (a special feature that comes with the DVD series), De Niro has the typical cockiness that defines Sonny, but it also comes with that trademark smug smirk of his too. That's fine in the roles we've seen him play, but it's not Sonny. Caan brought just the right amount of cocky confidence blended together with a hot-tempered demeanor without the smugness. Say what you want about Sonny: impulsive, ill-tempered, womanizing, cheats on his wife, yes. Smug though? I never got that. In spite of all his flaws (you gotta commend his wife for somehow sticking with him), though, if there's any honorable character trait Sonny does have, it's this: you don't mess with his family.
I could go on and on about Robert Duvall, Richard Castellano, Diane Keaton, John Cazale, Alex Rocco, Al Lettieri and Talia Shire (who would go on to play another iconic film role, Rocky Balboa's girlfriend Adrian) as well. Just take my word for it. It's an amazing cast.
What makes this film such a cinematic masterpiece is the character transition between father and son. As the film progresses we begin to see more of the humanity Vito has always been capable of and the utter ruthlessness an honorable war hero like Michael is capable of. We never see any of the ruthless mob acts Vito has committed, but hear them retold by others. One of the most poignant moments in the entire film is Michael and Kay eating at the wedding reception. Explaining to Kay how his father got legendary singer Johnny Fontane his big break (by making an offer his prior manager couldn't refuse), he tells her his father had Luca Brasi hold a gun to the head of Fontane's manager and assured him either his signature or his brains would be on the release form. It's that small moment that sums up both characters 'cause we not only realize the brutality of Vito's mob regime, but also how ashamed Michael is of it at first. "That my family, Kay. That's not me.", he assures her.
Oh, but the hearts of men are easily corrupted.
SPOILER ALERTS: Halfway through the film, though, we start to witness a change. As the story unfolds more and more, we begin to see not Vito the ruthless mobster, but Vito the concerned father. When Vito is told by Hagen that Michael avenged his attempted murder by killing Virgil Sollozzo and Captain McCluskey, he says nothing but looks away in quiet sadness, fearing his son with the most potential was now tainted by an act that promises no return. "I never wanted this for you, Michael." It's that statement where we see Vito understands he himself is lost, Sonny is lost, Fredo is weak, but he always hoped for something better for his youngest child, and now he realizes it might never be.
No greater moment of humanity though is shown than when Vito goes to identify his murdered son Sonny's body. Tearfully looking back, he says to his friend, "I don't want his mother to see him this way… Look how they massacred my boy." There, it's not Vito the feared mob boss we see. It's Vito the father, grieving over the death of his child.
It may seem like I'm giving a lot away to you, but there's much more that I haven't mentioned. Much, much more.
If you're looking for the crowning achievement in all of cinema (and I'm hoping those that haven't seen this is a small, small minority), The Godfather would be it. Francis Ford Coppola's masterful direction combined with Mario Puzo's riveting story, Nino Rota and Carmine Coppola's stirring and memorable score, Gordon Willis's breathtaking cinematography, the universally spectacular performances, what more needs to be said, people?! Even with a running time that's just shy of three hours, the story, narrative and richly written characters have you so captivated, you don't even feel the length of time go by. This is the film that forever shaped my taste in movies, and no matter how many times I watch it, I always find a new, hidden gem revealed to me.
