The commands under Overlay Experimental Data (Omics Viewer), available from the right-click menu and the right side operations box, overlays experimental data over the Cellular Overview diagram.
Once the Overlay Experimental Data command is invoked, a window will open, called the Omics Form, where you can specify a data file to upload and various parameters to control the interpretation of the data. The parameters are documented in the window but more details follow on the file format and the parameters to specify.
Experimental data is imported from a file provided by the user that is stored on the user's computer. Each line of the file contains data for a single gene, protein, reaction or metabolite, and is of the form:
<names‑or‑IDs> <other‑columns> <data‑column1>...<data‑columnN>
Columns are separated by the tab character. Lines that
start with #
or ;
are taken to be comment
lines and are ignored by the program. The first column is called
column 0, the second column is called column 1, etc. The program pays
attention to column 0 and to the columns you tell it contain your
data; the other columns are ignored.
Short examples (see 9.3.1 for full example files):
<verbatim> # In this file the data columns are columns 2-4. # # The first two lines specify genes. trpA tryptophan synthetase 3.2 3.8 4.3 This line identifies the gene by a gene name # This next line identifies the gene by an accession number that is # listed on the EcoCyc gene page, hence we can be sure that EcoCyc # will recognize it. b0383 alkaline phosphatase 1.1 4.2 2.9 # # The next two lines specify metabolites. # TRP L-tryptophan 6.3 2.3 4.3 Column 0 specifies the EcoCyc ID for this metabolite # This next line specifies spermidine by its name and KEGG ID and PubChem ID spermidineKEGG:C00315PubChem:6992097 spermidine 1.1 2.8 5.1 </verbatim>
can be a list of one or more of the following
fields separated by the "$" character. These alternatives give you
multiple ways to identify a gene, protein, metabolite, or reaction.
<li> A name for the object that is known to BioCyc (each
BioCyc object typically includes extensive synonym lists; the
software tries to match a name to the appropriate target).
<li> BioCyc IDs. Gene IDs from sequencing projects (such as the E. coli B-numbers) are generally acceptable and unambiguous. For protein or reaction data, EC numbers may be used. BioCyc pages (e.g., gene pages, metabolite pages) typically list the ID for the object toward the top of the page, and in the URL field of the page. Please verify that the IDs you are using are known to BioCyc.
<li> IDs in external databases. Many BioCyc DBs contain links to external databases such as UniProt and PubChem; the identifers in those links can be used in column 0 if prefixed by the name of the database, e.g., "UniProt:P00634." </ul>
The numbers in the data columns can represent either absolute or relative (e.g., ratios or log ratios) values. If the data values represent absolute numbers, you may choose to visualize either a single column of absolute data values (select "Absolute" and one data column), or the ratio of two data columns as relative data values (select "Relative" and two data columns). If the data values themselves represent relative numbers, then you need supply only a single column number, and select "Relative." An entry (a row of data for a gene or other object) may contain any number of data columns (for example, if you want to compile measurements from several experiments or time points into a single file), but only those data columns specified will be visualized at a time — all other columns will be ignored.
The color scale used depends on the type and, by default, the range of the data. Thus, a particular color may correspond to one gene expression level for one dataset, and a different gene expression level for another dataset, depending on the range of values or the supplied maximum cutoff value for each dataset. We use the spectrum from yellow/green to red, with yellow representing the lowest expression levels or ratios in the dataset, blue representing values in the middle, and red representing the highest values. Reactions for which no data was provided are drawn in black. The legend for mapping colors to data values is shown in the key, which is drawn to the right of the overview for a single experiment, or to the left for an animation.
A maximum cutoff value is chosen. By default, this is computed from the data. Alternatively, the user may supply a maximum cutoff value to use. Supplying the same maximum cutoff value for multiple experiments ensures that the same color scale is used for each one, so that the displays are directly comparable.
The minimum cutoff value is determined based on the maximum cutoff value and the other parameters. For absolute data values, we use a minimum cutoff value of zero. For relative data values that are not logs, we use the inverse of the maximum cutoff. For relative data values that are logs, we use the negative of the maximum cutoff. The color spectrum is then mapped evenly along a log scale between the maximum cutoff and the minimum cutoff.
In many cases, several genes or proteins, each with their own expression level or concentration, will map to a single reaction. This is because the reaction might be catalyzed by an enzyme complex made up of several gene products, or the reaction might be catalyzed by several isozymes, each with its own gene or genes. Since a reaction can only be colored a single color, we must choose which data value to use. For absolute data values, we choose the maximum. For relative data values, we choose the value whose log has the greatest deviation from zero, under the assumption that the user is primarily interested in identifying the entities whose behavior differ most between the two datasets.
Once the form to upload the data is submitted, by clicking the Submit button at the bottom of the Omics Form, the data are processed by the Web server. The time to process the file depends on the speed of the server and the amount of data in the file. The results are returned to your browser in the form of highlighted objects (e.g., reactions). If several data experiments are loaded from the same file (i.e., several data columns are provided from the uploaded file), an animation is created where each step of the animation corresponds to one experiment (i.e., one column).
A small dialog window is opened to display the color scale for the experiment(s) and buttons to control the animation, if any. You can pause, restart, go forward or backward, increase or decrease the animation speed from this window.
Overlaying exprimental data can be done at any zoom level. Once the data are uploaded and overlayed, zooming out or in can be done, and the corresponding highlighting will be adjusted accordingly.
The tooltips for highlighted objects show the experimental data. The data displayed changes during an animation.
The Regulatory Overview enables you to visually analyze the regulatory relationships between genes for a specific organism. These relationships are based on the regulatory data available in the database (i.e., PGDB) of the organism. Currently, the relationships are based on transcriptional regulatory data (future versions may cover other types of regulation). Note: The Regulatory Overview has been tested on Internet Explorer 7.0, Firefox 3.3, Safari 4.0 and Chrome 2.0. It is recommended not to use Internet Explorer for the Regulatory Overview since its performance can be very slow when manipulating a large number (more than 100) of highlighted genes. The performance of the three other browsers are much better compared to Internet Explorer.
The Regulatory Overview is represented as a network with nodes and arrows (i.e., arcs). Each node represents a gene of a specific organism. There is an arrow from gene A to gene B if and only if A regulates B.
When first displayed, the overview does not show any regulatory arrow relationships since, typically, their great number would clutter the overview. These arrows can be selectively added by using the highlighting commands. See the sections below for more information on highlighting commands.
Not all organisms have regulatory data in their PGDB. If the command Genome → Regulatory Overview is grayed out, no Regulatory Overview can be displayed for the selected organism. Otherwise, by selecting the command Genome → Regulatory Overview a Regulatory Overview Web page will open and the complete Regulatory Overview of the selected organism will be displayed. The operations box on the right has several commands specifically for the Regulatory Overview.
It is possible to display a regulatory subnetwork of a specific organism by doing a series of highlighting and then use the command Redisplay Highlighted Genes Only. This command will create a new, smaller layout of the regulatory network that contains the genes that are highlighted only. Genes that do not regulate, or are not regulated by any highlighted genes, are not included in the subnetwork. Further operations can be done on this subnetwork as for the complete overview. See the Section Redisplay Highlighted Genes Only below for more details.
The most common operation is to move the Regulatory Overview left, right, up or down, since sometimes the entire network cannot fit entirely in the Web page. This can be done by holding down your left mouse button in a blank area then moving the mouse in the desired direction. This is called a panning operation. Panning can also be done by a small increment by clicking the arrows on the graphic at the top left of the screen called the panning widget.
To zoom-in or zoom-out, you can use the icon in the form of a ladder on the left of the overview Web page. Each step of the ladder is a zoom level. You can select any one of them at any time. You can also click a plus or minus sign (displayed on the top and bottom of this ladder) to zoom-in (increase size) or zoom-out (decrease size) the regulatory network. By increasing the zoom level (i.e., going up in the ladder), the gene names might overlap the network nodes— increasing the zoom level should remove such overlaps. The last zoom level (i.e., the last step of the ladder) will always force the display of all gene names in the network.
Note that depending on the speed of the server, generating large regulatory network overviews (i.e., a zoom-in near the top of the ladder) may require some time. They might have been already generated or they might need to be generated by the server. Accordingly, the response time might vary.
Mousing over a gene node displays a tooltip with data about the genes, its product, the possible ligand, the direct regulatees and regulators. Left-clicking the gene node will open a new Web page containing even more data specific for the gene.
Other more complex visual commands can be reached by right-clicking on genes or in a blank area. This is discussed in detail in the following sections.
Note for Mac users with a one-button mouse: left-click is the usual click, and right-click is the Mac control-click (i.e., you hold down the control key and click). But the exact keys to use may be customized on your Mac via the preferences panel.
Organism Selection: Selecting a new organism through the organism selector does not immediately change the Regulatory Overview to this organism. The next operation such as zoom-in or zoom-out will apply to the new selected organism. At any moment you can display the complete regulatory overview of the selected organism by selecting the command Display Complete Regulatory Overview under the right-clicking menu in a blank area or from the right operations box Redisplay Complete Regulatory Overview.
Left-Click on a gene node opens a new browser window with information about the gene.
Left-Click (and holding) in a blank area allows to pan (i.e., move) the entire regulatory network left, right, up and down. You need to hold down the mouse button to do the panning.
Right-Click on a gene node opens a menu to select a command to apply for this gene. The commands highlight the direct and/or indirect regulatees and/or regulators for this gene and show highlighted arcs between regulatees and regulators.
Right-Click in a blank area opens a menu to select general command applicable to the entire regulatory network. These commands are also available in the top menu bar under the menu 'Regulatory Overview'.
Double-Left-Click in a blank area does a zoom-in operation.
The following sections describe in more details these operations and some others.
For any organism, there are two layouts available: nested ellipses or top to bottom.
The layout nested ellipses uses up to three ellipses to display the gene nodes. The inner most ellipse contains, in alphabetical order of the gene names, the genes that have the largest number of regulatees. The middle ellipse contains genes that regulate at least one gene. The outer ellipse contains the genes that have no regulatees. They might be displayed as groups of genes regulated by the same set of genes (a multi-regulon). This is typically done using triangles or a short straight line if the group is small.
The layout top to bottom uses several straight rows to display the gene nodes. Each row contains genes that do not directly regulate each other. The top row contains the genes that regulate the largest number of genes. The bottom row contains genes that do not regulate any genes. In between rows contain genes that regulate some other genes. As for the nested ellipses layout, this row might have genes grouped in straight lines or triangles.
There are several commands to highlight genes and show the regulatory relationship arrows between them.
Two commands use the gene name, or a substring of gene names, or a gene frame-id. Both of these commands are available by right-clicking in a blank area, or from the top menu bar under Regulatory Overview. The command Highlight Gene By Name or Frame ID highlights at most one gene. It is essentially a search command since you might not know the location of that gene in the regulatory network. Once found, the regulatory network will be centered on the location of the gene. The command Highlight Genes By Substring may highlight several genes. Selecting the command opens a panel from which you can enter a string of characters. Once clicking the button labeled Highlight in the panel, the genes highlighted have a name that contains the given string (this is a case-insensitive search). For this command it is also possible to include the regulatory relationships between the genes found.
The command HighlightGenesByGeneOntologyTerms accessible from the right-clicking menu enables you to select one or more Gene Ontology (GO) terms. The genes that produce proteins annotated with the selected GO terms will be highlighted. The option Include Relationships Arrows enables you to add relationship arrows between the highlighted genes. Note that if you are displaying a subnetwork, there might be genes with such products in the organism but that these might not be in the subnetwork. In such a case, a warning is given that no genes have been highlighted.
Right-clicking on a gene will open a menu of highlighting commands specific to that gene. The menu may contain from one to seven commands. Since some genes do not have any regulators or/and any regulatees, this list of commands may vary from gene to gene. Here are the list of all possible commands available from this menu where name will be the gene name (e.g., trpA) on which the right-clicking was done. The highlighting is done with one a specific color but that color changes from one executed highlighting command to the next.
Highlight Gene name Highlights only the gene selected.
Highlight Gene name and its Direct Regulatees The gene selected and all its direct regulatees are highlighted and relationship arrows are displayed from the selected gene to its regulatees.
Highlight Gene name and its Direct Regulators The gene selected and all its direct regulators are highlighted and relationship arrows are displayed from the regulator genes to the selected gene.
Highlight Gene name and its Direct Regulatees and Regulators This command combines the two previous commands.
Highlight Gene name and its Direct and Indirect Regulatees The selected gene and all its direct regulatees and indirect regulatees are highlighted and relationship arrows are displayed from regulators to regulatees.
Highlight Gene name and its Direct and Indirect Regulators The selected gene and all its direct regulators and indirect regulators are highlighted and relationship arrows are displayed from regulators to regulatees.
Highlight Gene name and its Direct and Indirect Regulatees and Regulators This command combines the two previous commands.
When a highlighting operation is done, a new overlay is created. The list of overlays is shown in the Layer Switcher panel on the right of the overview Web page. This panel may be minimized, in which case a small icon with a plus-sign is shown. Click on the plus-sign icon to open the panel. From this panel you can activate or deactivate specific overlays. This is particularly useful if you use the command Redisplay Highlighted Genes Only.
All highlighting can be removed by using the command Clear All Highlighting.
For more information about highlighting, see Section Redisplay Highlighted Genes Only.
The command Redisplay Highlighted Genes Only will display a regulatory network by considering only the genes that are highlighted. The layout is changed to "top to bottom" since it is usually a better layout when using a small set of genes. This command would be used after a series of highlighting operations to select a set of genes to analyze closely. The current displayed regulatory network will be removed and a new regulatory network will be displayed. The active highlighting will remain active. All overlays (active or not) will also remain. It is useful to keep the deactivated overlays since you may come back to the complete regulatory network and reactivate them to recreate a new regulatory subnetwork. Note that genes that do not regulate or are not regulated by any highlighted genes are not included in the subnetwork.
To redisplay the complete regulatory network, use the command Display Complete Regulatory Overview accessible when right-clicking in a blank area. The current active overlays remain active and the deactivated overlays are not removed.
The information in tooltips within a subnetwork display (produced when mousing over gene nodes) are restricted to that subnetwork. That is, the tooltip's list of regulatees and regulators are for the subnetwork, not for the entire regulatory network of the organism. However, when you transition from a subnetwork display back to the display of the entire network, any highlighting done on a subnetwork will be expanded for the entire regulatory network to show relationships within the full network. For example, if gene A has four direct regulatees in a subnetwork, but twenty regulatees in the entire network, when the operation Highlight Gene A and its Direct Regulatees is applied in the subnetwork, only the four regulatees are highlighted, but once you redisplay the entire network, the twenty regulatees will be highlighted.
The Pathway Tools Regulatory Omics Viewer illustrates the results of high-throughput experiments in the context of gene regulation. Genes that are involved in regulation are mapped to gene
levels in a given experimental dataset is mapped to a spectrum of colors. This facility enables the user to see instantly which genes are active or inactive under some set of experimental conditions.
The Omics Viewer for the Regulatory Overview is very similar to the Omics Viewer for the Cellular Overview. Data files submitted to the Regulatory Omics Viewer must contain in their first column gene names or frame ids. To start the Regulatory Omics Viewer, use the command Overlay Experimental Data (Omics Viewer) under the Regulatory Overview menu. See Section 9.3 for details of how to use the Regulatory Omics Viewer.
Several types of comparative operations are available within Pathway Tools Web sites. Note that all of the PGDBs to be compared must be resident within a single Pathway Tools Web site.
Start a comparative analysis by specifying the organism(s) you want to compare. In many cases this can be done from the menu command Select organisms/databases for comparison operations, which is accessible through the Gene, Pathway, Reaction, and Compound menus. It is also accessible through the Choose Organisms button in the Analysis → Comparative Analysis page. This tool supports multi-organism selection using the following three modes. In each mode, a list of organisms for comparison is built up on the right side; you can add to, remove from, or clear that entire list using the buttons in the middle.
By Name: Select individual organisms by name on the left
By Taxonomy: Select a taxonomic group by clicking through the tree or entering a search term. All genomes under that taxonomic group can be added to the selection by clicking "Add"
My Lists: Choose organism lists that were previously saved in your online account, or create a new organism list from the current selection
Most object pages in Pathway Tools Web sites contain commands for navigating to that same object in one or more other PGDBs. For example, the command Show this gene in another database on a gene page will find the same gene in a specified PGDB The command Show this compound in another database from a compound page will show the same metabolite in a specified PGDB. Similarly, Search for this gene in multiple databases on a gene page will generate a table showing information about that gene in multiple specified PGDBs.
Pathway Tools finds "the same object" using different mechanisms for different types of objects:
For genes and proteins, the software uses orthology information when available. If no equivalent object is found using orthology information, then the software searches for a gene or protein of the same name (note that name-based searches sometimes yield incorrect results).
For compounds, reactions, and pathways, the software relies on the fact that when the PathoLogic component of Pathway Tools constructs new PGDBs, it does so by selectively copying information about compounds, reactions, and pathways from the MetaCyc PGDB to the new PGDB. When performing this copy operation, the software maintains the same unique identifier for each compound, reaction, and pathway in the new PGDB as it had in MetaCyc. Thus, when comparing compounds, reactions, and pathways, the software looks for objects with the same unique identifiers in other PGDBs. Note that compounds, reactions, or pathways created by a user in an individual PGDB will have new unique identifiers that will not match identifiers in other PGDBs.
The following comparison commands are all available under the Gene, Compound, Reaction, and Pathway menus:
Show this object in another database
Show this object in multiple databases
Show this object in MetaCyc (not available for genes)
In addition, the following command will generate a table comparing the operon context of a gene across multiple organisms: Show orthologs (with operon diagrams) in multiple databases.
The comparative genome browser described in Section 6.2 supports more powerful viewing of genome regions around orthologous genes.
The "Species Comparison" operation in the operations box for pathway and reaction pages generates tables comparing a pathway or reaction across multiple PGDBs. If you wish to change the organisms being compared, use the command Change organisms/databases for comparison operations.
The reaction comparison table lists the enzyme(s) that catalyze the reaction; activators, inhibitors, and cofactors for those enzymes; and the one or more pathway(s) containing the reaction in that organism.
The pathway comparison table includes a graphic of the pathway showing which reactions in the pathway have enzymes present in each organism; a list of the enzymes catalyzing each reaction; and operon diagrams for each gene in the pathway.
Analysis → Comparative Analysis allows users to generate summaries of individual PGDBs, and to compare statistics between PGDBs. Currently we support comparative analysis of reactions, pathways, compounds, proteins, orthologs, transporters, and transcription units — select the type(s) of reports you wish to generate.
Next select one or more PGDBs for which to perform the analysis.
Please experiment with these commands to see the detailed reports generated by each comparison.
Pathway Tools has an optional feature that allows Pathway / Genome Databases (PGDB) that have sequence data to be searched using NCBI BLAST.
To access the Web interface for BLAST searches, go to: Search Menu → BLAST search.
Documentation on the use of the Web interface for NCBI BLAST can be found here.
PatMatch [⎈ cite{PatMatch05}, ⎈ cite{PatMatchURL}] allows you to search for a short nucleotide or amino-acid sequence within a specific genome, using an exact search or using degenerate nucleotide or amino-acid symbols. The minimum length of the input string is 3 residues.
The results are displayed initially as a simple web-page table, with the option of displaying the result as a SmartTable, if there are less than 5000 results. If there are more than 5000 results, then a file download link is provided.
To access the PatMatch search, go to: Search → Sequence Pattern Search .
For each genome, the user can search several alternative sequence databases:
Complete peptide database
Nucleotide database: whole genome
Nucleotide database: coding regions — contains the nucleotide sequence of the coding regions for each protein and RNA-coding gene
Nucleotide database: intergenic regions — contains the nucleotide sequence of the regions between adjacent genes
Nucleotide database: intergenic regions, extended — contains the nucleotide sequence of the regions between adjacent genes, plus an additional 400 bases upstream and 250 bases downstream, such as to include possible regulatory regions
The Metabolic Route Search (new in version 17.0, March 2013) is a software tool to search and analyze routes in the metabolic reaction network of an organism. Given a starting compound, a target compound, and other parameters, the tool finds the best (least cost) routes between these compounds taking into account atom conservation, path length and adding a minimum number of foreign reactions from MetaCyc.
The tool is activated by first selecting the organism to search using the "change organism database" link on the top right corner of the Web page and then by selecting the command Metabolism → Metabolic Route Search from the menu bar. This command is available for single organism databases only. For example, it is available for E. coli but not for MetaCyc. MetaCyc can be used, not as a native organism but as library of additional reactions, if the Web server was started with option -metaroute-metacyc (in which case the Web server is not publicly accessible). That is, in that case, MetaCyc can be used only as a set of foreign reactions to add to a selected single organism database.
The parameters to specify before clicking the "Search Routes" button are (some defaults are provided for most of them):
Start Compound The starting compound for the search. That compound can be entered by name or by using a unique id (i.e., frame id). A suggested list of compounds is given underneath the input text box when you start typing a compound name. You may also select the compound from that list.
Goal Compound The ending compound for the search. That compound can be entered by name or by using a unique id (i.e., frame id). A suggested list of compounds is given underneath the input text box when you start typing a compound name. You may also select the compound from that list.
Number of Routes An integer that specifies the maximum number of the best routes to find and display. The larger that number, the longer it takes to receive an answer.
Maximum Time The maximum number of seconds to use for the search. You may limit the search by entering a small number. If the tool times out, the best routes found so far are displayed and a text message states that a suboptimal solution is displayed.
Maximum Route Length The maximum number of reactions that the routes found can contain. The larger this number, the longer it takes to receive an answer.
MetaCyc Reaction Cost This input box is shown only if MetaCyc is available as a foreign library of reactions to search. This box is not provided from publicly available Web servers such as BioCyc.org. If available, the value entered, which must be nonnegative, is the cost to assign to a reaction from MetaCyc that is included in a route. This option may be obtained by installing Pathway Tools locally at your site and running it in Web server mode on your intranet. See command-line option -metroute-metacyc.
Native Reaction Cost The value entered, which must be nonnegative, is the cost to assign to a reaction from the native organism that is included in a route.
Atom Loss Cost The value entered, which must be nonnegative, is the cost to assign to an atom that is lost from the source compound to the target compound. This cost applies to all tracked atom species (C, O, P, N, and S). The list of atom species can be selected by clicking the selector on the left of that box and selecting "Selected atom species", a new input box will open and the desire atom species to track can be typed separated by spaces.
A summary of what each parameter means is provided online by clicking the green question mark located on the left of each labelled input box.
The cost of a route is the sum of all costs: reaction costs from the native database and, if available, the MetaCyc database; and the cost of atom losses.
Once the parameters are entered, clicking the "Search Routes" button will initiate the search on the Web server. The solution, that is, the routes found, will be displayed under the parameters. The routes are sorted in ascending order of their cost (best routes are presented first). Depending on the number paths found, and if MetaCyc is involved, it may take some time before the solution is displayed. Also, displaying a large list of reactions might take some time by the browser itself due to the complexity of formating all compound structures and atom mappings.
Each route found is displayed horizontally accross the Web page, the start compound on the left and the target compound on the right with intermediary compounds in between. You may need to scroll the window to see some of the compounds since the whole route may not fit the width of your browser window. On the left of each route is displayed a text summary of the characteristics of the route. The summary includes the cost of the route, the number of atoms kept from the source compound to the target compound, and its number of reactions.
The chemical structure of each compound involved in the route is displayed and its name appears underneath the structure. If the compound is from the native database, its name is in grey; if the compound is from MetaCyc, its name is in red. Clicking the compound opens a new browser tab to display a complete description of the compound.
Each reaction is shown with a right arrow. If the reaction is from MetaCyc, the arrow is red, if it is from the native organism, the arrow is grey. Underneath the arrow, the protein name is displayed. Clicking the arrow stem opens a new browser tab to display a complete description of the reaction.
For each route, the atom mapping (i.e., atom tracing) is displayed using colors on atoms and bonds from compound to compound . A moiety that is conserved across several compounds is colored with a specific color. Mousing over an atom highlights that atom across all compounds that conserves it. For example, an atom that is conserved from the source compound to target compound can be seen by mousing over it in the source compound and the corresponding atoms in all intermediate compounds up to the target compound will be highlighted. Note that this highlighting feature enables you to find out quickly which atoms of the source compound are lost and by which reaction by mousing over each atom of the source compound.
A new search can be initiated by changing any parameters and clicking the "Search Routes" button. The current solution will be erased and a new solution will be displayed.

Reynolds/Democrat photo "I love you baby" was one of the images found spray painted on the rocks at the flume, a popular swimming spot on the Smith Conservation property.
FARMINGTON — Vandalism at the flume, a local hot spot for swimming on the Smith Conservation Easement property, has caused some concern around Town.The Mad River flume, located on the 7-acre property, was spray painted in several spots with images that include a marijuana-type leaf and phrases including "baby" and "senior banquet?" Officials believe that teenagers may be behind the vandalism.While the site has been vandalized before, the recent incident marked the first time the area has been spray painted. The most frequent form of vandalism is trash dumping, which strikes many conservation sites throughout the town. The dumping ranges from everyday trash on the sites being left behind to the actual dumping of furniture and tires.Over the years, many perpetrators have been caught. "We are very vigilant in our surveillance," said Dave Connolly of the Farmington Conservation Commission, the group tasked with monitoring and maintaining the property. "These areas are here to preserve the habitats of wildlife," said Bruce Kerr of the Strafford Rivers Conservancy.
Photo courtesy of Dave Connolly A shot of the flume on the Smith conservation property before the spray painting vandalism.
Connolly and Horgan do a lot of the clean up, though they spoke of some locals, who opt to remain anonymous, who regularly clean the areas most affected by the dumping. Going forward with the removal of the spray paint, officials have been worried about the possible pollution of the river water. Many methods call for chemicals, while those that do not often result in the paint running off into the water. However, after discussion, Kerr, Connolly and Horgan decided to move forward with sanding.The paint will be sanded off in the next few weeks.The commission urges people to consider the repercussions of their actions and to appreciate the use of the town's conservation properties.

We enjoyed our stay in this Bed and Breakfast. Our host was very warm and friendly, and we felt very comfortable throughout our two-night stay. The room was nice, the bed was exceptionally comfortable. We were very impressed when our host, knowing it was our anniversary, brought us chocolate and a glass of home-made wine when we returned from our dinner out. He also gave us terrific recommendations for places to eat during our stay. We will return for another visit, that's for sure.

This is a charming B&B, with warm, welcoming hosts, Errol and Mary. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Errol pointed out a journal on the bedside table where guests can write notes and poems. The breakfast of homemade waffles with fresh berries, chicken sausage, smoked salmon on toast, coffee, tea, and juice hit the spot. We plan to back again soon -- and bring our X-country skis and snow shoes for some winter exploration. We love this place!

We only had one night at the Poetry Ridge but really enjoyed our stay. Errol was very friendly and helpful. He couldn't do enough to make our stay perfect. This B&B was a little far from our destination but well worth driving the extra distance. The B&B is located in a beautiful setting. The rooms are tastefully furnished. We already have reservations to stay there again in October. I can highly recommend this bed and breakfast without any reservations. You won't be disappointed in your stay. Eileen and Michael Beard

A charming B&B with delightful hosts.
4.4 on July 09, 2008
We stayed two nights. The common sitting rooms, sunporches and porch were well and comfortably furnished and provided great options to sit, relax, read and enjoy the scenery. Errol and Mary were ideal hosts, and very helpful with guidance on restaurants, hiking trails, and area attractions. Fresh baked mini-muffins, fresh fruit and hot breakfast were all outstanding. An ideal B and B experience.

Our stay at Poetry Ridge was absolutely wonderful. The enthusiasm, hospitality, and genuineness extended to us by Errol and Mary was unbelievable. Comfortable bed, spotless room and house, tasty breakfast, and interesting stories of the house made it a perfect stay. It was really neat to hear Errol and Mary describe their experience in transforming a house that had been occupied by the same owner for 40 years into a B&B over a 3-year period of time. An unexpected surprise was the real nice hiking trails leaving from the house up to Poetry Tower. The ground floor 'billiard room' was also a unique characteristic of this 100 year old home. We look forward to returning to Poetry Ridge again.

We were immediately greeted upon our arrival. We were given the "grand tour" since it was our 1st time staying at Poetry Ridge. Our host Errol was exceptionally friendly and fostered a very friendly environment. He and his wife prepared a delicious breakfast each morning of our stay. Nothing but great things to say about this bed and breakfast.

The bed was great. The room had a fireplace which our hosts got going for us when we returned from dinner. The stay was as delightful as the owners. The location was lovely. Stay here is you have the chance.

Green Hypocrisy on Coat-tailing and strategic voting
The Green taliban are at their sanctimonious best with their hyperbole over strategic voting and coat-tailing.
The only way they are going to get into power is because of coat-tailing and strategic voting.
But while they hyperventilate over it we should perhaps remind ourselves of their hypocrisy.
First up is Denise Roche and her outright lies despite being caught on camera,┬Āwhere she┬Āsecretly endorsed Jacinda Ardern – while Labour railed against the cup of tea?
Great news: Green Party agrees plastics are the way to the future
Gareth Hughes announced yesterday that 3D printing/manufacturing was going to be something the Green Party can get behind. ┬ĀSo much in fact, they made it part for the "blueprint" for the future.
So I though it would be a good opportunity to have a look and see why the Green Party has thrown away decades of opposition to oil exploration, oil extraction, oil refining, and of course the result of all this, plastics.
But not all plastics are created equal. ┬ĀPlastics are bad. ┬ĀAs is oil. ┬ĀBut somehone, "3D" plastics are not.
(Perhaps we need to invent 3D oil?)
Now, truth be known, not all plastics are created equal, and we have been educated to hate plastic bags, and those things that used to hold 6 cans together, because somewhere in the world a tortoise gets stuck in them. ┬ĀAnd who can argue with that. ┬ĀTortoises don't come in six packs.
For 3D printing, you need a plastic called "Thermoplastic".
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene┬Ā(ABS) (chemical formula┬Ā(C8H8)x┬Ę (C4H6)y┬Ę(C3H3N)z) is a common┬Āthermoplastic. Its┬Āglass transition┬Ātemperature is approximately 105 ┬░C (221 ┬░F).┬ĀABS is┬Āamorphous┬Āand therefore has no true melting point.
ABS is a┬Āterpolymer┬Āmade by polymerizing┬Āstyrene┬Āand┬Āacrylonitrile┬Āin the presence of┬Āpolybutadiene. The proportions can vary from 15 to 35% acrylonitrile, 5 to 30%┬Ābutadiene┬Āand 40 to 60% styrene. The result is a long chain of polybutadiene criss-crossed with shorter chains of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile). The┬Ānitrilegroups from neighboring chains, being polar, attract each other and bind the chains together, making ABS stronger than pure┬Āpolystyrene. The styrene gives the plastic a shiny, impervious surface. The polybutadiene, a┬Ārubbery┬Āsubstance, provides resilience even at low┬Ātemperatures. For the majority of applications, ABS can be used between ŌłÆ20 and 80┬Ā┬░C (ŌłÆ4 and 176┬Ā┬░F) as its mechanical properties vary with temperature.┬ĀThe properties are created by┬Ārubber toughening, where fine particles of elastomer are distributed throughout the rigid matrix. — Wikipedia
You can see what set Gareth's motor spinning. ┬ĀThis isn't "just plastic", this is "amorphous" and who can resist┬Āstyrene-co-acrylonitrile? ┬ĀThe Green Party certainly can't. ┬Ā Read more »
Green Taliban's "3D blueprint" for the future nothing but hype
Now, go get some Paracetemol, because what I'm about to tell you will ┬Āmake your head hurt
Green Party information and technology spokesperson Gareth Hughes launched a component of the Green Party's Smart Green Innovation package today.
The Blueprint For The Future,┬Āa digital manufacturing strategy for New Zealand, will:
ŌĆó develop a digital manufacturing strategy;
ŌĆó support and develop 3D printing;
ŌĆó educate and empower students in the use of digital manufacturing.
"This component, like the Green Party's proposed structural timber award, is a blueprint for the future," said Mr Hughes. ┬Ā[ opportunity gone begging: ┬ĀThe Greenprint For the Futuretm ┬Ā]
"The world is changing, we need to change with it and invest more in smart green innovation like digital manufacturing.
"We need to be investing more into smart green manufacturing and digital manufacturing technologies like 3D printing, which offer new economic opportunities. Read more »
Gareth Hughes going to nerd conventions on your dime
Gareth Hughes states at The Daily Blog:
I spent Sunday campaigning in Hamilton and chatting to people about the issues facing them. It was pretty clear that more and more people are starting to realise that this Government doesnŌĆÖt have the interests of everyday Kiwis at heart and are looking for alternatives.
But here is what he was actually doing…attending Armageddon in Hamilton.
Cartoon of the Day
Hey Clint! Will you start bashing the Greens now you work for Cunners?
Clint Smith aka James Henderson aka Steve Pierson, a blogger at The Standard and former green staffer has cut and run, poached by David Cunliffe to work for Labour.
Labour has had its own "Hey Clint!" moment.
Leader David Cunliffe's chief of staff Matt McCarten has confirmed the party has recruited the Green Party's political and media adviser, Clint Smith, to beef up selling its economic message.
Smith, who had earlier worked for Labour before going across to the Greens, shot to prominence when, during a television interview, MP Gareth Hughes turned to him with a "Hey Clint!" to check if the party was happy its power policy had put a dent in the Mighty River Power sale.┬Ā Read more »
Green Taliban only likes science when they agree with it
Felix Marwick at Newstalk ZB picks his jaw up from his desk long enough to report this bit of cognitive dissonance
The Green Party appears to be contradicting official advice when it comes to its opposition to seabed mining off the Taranaki coast.
MP Gareth Hughes has issued a statement saying the iron sand mining project could negatively impact the health of Blue Whales and other marine mammals. ┬Ā Read more »
Hide on Jones
Rodney Hide looks at Shane Jones and his showing up of leader David Cunliffe.
The news this week is that the Greens have an MP named Gareth Hughes. And that Labour's Shane Jones has been calling him names. And that Hughes has complained.
Say what?
Calling each other names is what politicians do. Besides, Jones' name-calling was rather good. I had to look it up. He called Hughes a "mollymawk". He then swapped to "mollyhawk". That's better.
A mollymawk is a type of albatross. A mollyhawk a young black-backed gull. Perfect. In one obscure word Jones captured the image of juvenile squawking. He summed up the Greens rather well.
Hughes is more like a seagull than he realises…he swoops in squawking and flapping, craps everywhere then flys out again to go do it all again somewhere else.
The name-calling and complaint are excellent political theatre and the stuff of headlines. But behind the theatre, deeper political machinations are in play.
Jones came a distant third in Labour's race to be leader but you would think he had won it with the headlines he has been generating. He launched into Countdown, then foreign students, and now the Greens. He's been on the front foot, with his hapless leader David Cunliffe on the back.
The contrasting performance is stark and it's clear that Jones is emboldened. He hasn't given up his leadership ambitions. He is clearly positioning for leader should Labour fall short this election. ┬Ā Read more »
Jones flipping bird at Cunliffe, still kicking the Greens
Shane Jones has ignored the orders of his leader and continues to lambast the Green party, yesterday attacking Russel Norman:
Labour's attempt to muzzle its outspoken MP, Shane Jones, has lasted less than a day.
Mr Jones was told off by his leader for┬Ācomparing Green MP Gareth Hughes to a screeching bird.
Today he took a shot at Green co-leader Russel Norman, saying he will not be lectured on the environment by an Australian.
Seemingly to prove he cannot be silenced, he let rip at Dr Norman, extending the anti-Australian attack he has used against Countdown to the Australian-born MP.
"I'm not going to have an Australian running the New Zealand Green Party, lecturing me about environment and economics in the north," says Mr Jones.
Perhaps that is why Russel is taking elocution lessons.
Dr Norman launched a counter-attack, accusing Mr Jones of copying Prime Minster John Key.
"The Prime Minister does it quite a lot; he's also very critical of migrants," says Dr Norman. "It turns out a part of the Labour Party doesn't like migrants either. Every time Mr Jones opens his mouth the Green Party vote goes up, so I encourage Mr Jones to speak out."
Mr Jones was told to keep his mouth shut by Labour's new chief of staff, Matt McCarten.┬Ā Read more »

Speaker cops it on day one
MPs were reminded that today was about ceremony. Â John Key got criticised for cracking a joke at the expense of the Labour Party, but somehow (not surprisingly), Russel Norman once again failed to observe the occasion and got stuck in
David Carter was re-elected Speaker in a vote prompted by the fact returning NZ First MP Ron Mark was put forward by his Leader Winston Peters.
Mr Mark later indicated his nomination came as something of a surprise.
Mr Carter's re-election was welcomed by Prime Minister John Key but Acting Labour Leader David Parker and Greens Co-leader Russel Norman had some requests for him.
"There will be contentious moments in this House", Mr Parker said in his address to Mr Carter.
"The business of Opposition and the business of Government are both very important roles we are reliant on you giving us a fair go." Read more »

Citi Community Development Marks National EITC Awareness Day With Release Of Money Matters Publication
Citi Community Development today released Money Matters, a market-specific publication appearing in 16 states across the United States that encourages working taxpayers to take advantage of refunds available through the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The publication, the centerpiece of Citi's second annual national EITC awareness campaign, also highlights the availability of free tax preparation services through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The publications are available in English and Spanish at www.citicommunitydevelopment.com.
"Filing for the EITC can mean reclaiming much-needed money that could be used to bolster family savings, invest in small businesses, or prepare for college expenses," said Bob Annibale, Global Director of Citi Community Development. "Citi and our community partners across the country remain committed to ensuring that all eligible families have the support and resources they need to reclaim money that can really make a difference in challenging economic times."
About the Earned Income Tax Credit
The EITC enables working people who earn approximately $50,000 or less per year to keep more of their earnings through a tax refund. The IRS estimates that four out of five eligible people claim and receive the EITC, and last year eligible filers received $62 billion in EITC refunds. However, many people, including millions of eligible workers who qualified for the EITC for the first time in 2012, don't know about the EITC or that they must file an income tax return in order to claim the benefit. Every year, 20 percent of eligible taxpayers still do not file for the EITC, leaving billions of dollars unclaimed.
About the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program The VITA Program generally offers free tax help to people who make $51,000 or less and need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals in local communities, and can inform taxpayers about special tax credits for which they may qualify, including the EITC. VITA sites are generally located at community and neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls, and other convenient locations.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

My dad keeps his dentures in water all the time. He said it keeps them cleaner and they don't dry out.
He likes to use baking soda and vinegar to keep them clean. He's not a fan of the mint flavors in the commercial kinds, so he does his own. He usually gets a glass of water, adds a couple of capfuls of vinegar and then a couple of teaspoons of baking soda. When the soda dissolves, he puts in his dentures and soaks them overnight. He said the vinegar flavor is better than the fake mint in the kind you get from the store.

The following corrects a misinterpretation of implementation dates in the previous version of this story. ATM Marketplace regrets any confusion caused by the error. The revised story also includes comments from ATMIA about the new deadlines.
This morning, Visa announced new liability shift dates for its EMV roadmap — these affecting third-party acquirers of ATM transactions. And for them, the Visa dates represent a move forward from the existing MasterCard timeline.
The Visa deadlines are as follows:
Additionally, Visa said that a liability shift will apply as of April 1, 2013, to all qualifying transactions taking place in Australia and New Zealand.
Already, liability shifts are in effect for Europe, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Middle East and Africa.
According to Visa, the newly added dates ensure that by 2017, a single global liability policy will be in place that encourages chip-on-chip (EMV chip card read by an EMV chip card reader) transactions at both the POS and the ATM.
The first meaningful acquirer deadlines
Most in the industry expected that Visa, the first mover on EMV in the U.S., would eventually add ATM deadlines to its roadmap. However, most may have thought they had until the MasterCard liability shift in October 2016 to upgrade their acquiring systems up to EMV compliance.
The MasterCard plan had set an April 1, 2013 liability shift deadline (blanketing both acquirers and deployers) for transactions using Maestro, the company's European debit card brand. Until now, this was the only announced acquirer deadline for the ATM industry.
And it was not an especially meaningful one. For acquirers, the number of Maestro transactions at ATMs was negligible, and many questioned the need for a rush to implementation.
For their part, ATM deployers dismissed the Maestro liability shift as a non-starter without a business case to support it.
In an email last May, Jerry McCarley, executive vice president and CIO of USA Payments Systems, laid out the cost/benefit issues:
This [Maestro transactions] represents 1/10,000 of 1 percent of our transaction volume. No ISO is going to pay someone to make his ATM EMV compatible for this. They will simply elect not to take [Maestro].
For example, an ASO with 100 atms would have $36 a year in revenue off all his atms in surcharge from these cards (part of which the, ISO does not even get to keep) and it would cost him at least $20,000 to upgrade his 100 machines to EMV readers and software to support that $36 in revenue. So until there is a mandate that really affects them, no ISO will be spending any money on this.
Visa ATM upgrade dates fall later, but does it matter?
In September of 2012, MasterCard amended its roadmap to add a liability shift deadline for ATMs of Oct. 1, 2016 (MasterCard did not introduce a new acquirer deadline, apparently supposing that acquirers would have made their upgrades by the April 2013 deadline).
At that time of the MasterCard ATM liability shift announcement, Visa said that it had no intention of introducing ATM deadlines, and was focusing on EMV implementation at the POS. But over the last five months, Visa intentions changed — as most in the industry took for granted that they would.
Though the new Visa deadlines for ATMs do not take effect until October 2017— a full year after the MasterCard October 2016 deadline — Visa's establishment of a truly meaningful third-party acquirer deadline effectively squeezes that sector's upgrade calendars by six months.
ATM Industry Association executive director David Tente said that even the 2017 deadline might be overly optimistic, given the complex system upgrades involved.
"ATMIA is pleased to see that Visa's new timetable for liability shifts in the U.S takes into account the added complexity of EMV migration at the ATM. Even though this is the latest of the announced ATM liability shift dates, larger deployers still do not expect to complete upgrades and replacements of their fleets until well past Oct, 2017."
Enabling 'faster, simpler, more cost-effective implementation'
Visa has also announced that in order to facilitate chip adoption and issuer compliance with U.S. debit regulations, the company plans to provide some of its proprietary EMV chip technology to the industry.
This approach will simplify EMV chip implementation for debit, reduce migration costs and increase flexibility for card issuers, acquirer processors and merchants, Visa said.
"Our world is demanding greater flexibility and security when it comes to paying for goods and services," said Jim McCarthy, global head of product at Visa Inc., in a statement about the announcement. "Visa's expanded roadmap creates an environment in which new forms of electronic payment can flourish, offering security, convenience and flexibility to consumers, merchants, and issuers. As part of our commitment, we are offering the industry a common U.S. debit solution that will streamline implementation of secure EMV chip technology and advance the U.S. marketplace towards next generation payments, including mobile payments."
Visa said it decided to support a common U.S. debit solution after "thorough consultation with industry stakeholders." The company said the move will encourage adoption of EMV chip technology and will help to address regulations imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act, including the requirement that debit card issuers offer at least two unaffiliated network routing options on their cards.
Offering free AID aid for ATM transaction acquirers
Visa will make some of its EMV chip technology available free of charge, relating to a generic, unbranded application identifier, or AID, that the company said will enable faster, simpler and more cost-effective implementation of EMV. This common approach would provide flexibility for issuers to manage their card portfolios over time while facilitating merchant choice for transaction routing. Visa will also make its technology and generic U.S. debit AID available to support ATM transactions.
This solution means that issuers will continue to have the flexibility to change debit networks without having to reissue cards. Debit networks that do not have their own EMV chip solutions will be able to support debit chip card transactions quickly and will benefit from a tried and proven technology. All transactions can be routed to the appropriate network using the same methodology used in today's magnetic stripe environment.
"Visa's proposal enables chip technology to support debit routing from the point of sale or the ATM, providing the same capabilities the industry relies on today in the magnetic stripe environment, with a streamlined approach that minimizes complexity and time-to-market," said Julie Conroy, research director at Aite Group, in the Visa announcement.
Repeated assurance: greater security, lower risk
Visa reiterated that EMV smart chip technology adds another layer of security, helping to reduce card-present fraud significantly. The company added that by encouraging investments in EMV chip technology, it is encouraging improved international interoperability and security, as well as helping to build a foundation for mobile payments.
It remains to be seen whether or when AmEx and Discover will follow suit with their own ATM implementation deadlines. But unless they move the deadline even earlier, the matter is essentially moot, given deadlines set now by the two largest card brands.

This is a WordPress 3.1.1-tested theme. It is designed to be VERY simple, there are very few graphics in it but as of version 1.1.1 the admin backend is a lot more advanced than before. It is now a fixed width theme, easy to view and play with. It is a theme for both beginner and medium user alike, very easy to modify to your own purposes, nice pleasant colours (with lots of options to change them easily), and look. It is gravatar-ready, widget-ready, and SEO-friendly.
It's a two-/three-column theme, sidebar on the right by default, but you can add the second and set them in various positions – 2 on the right, 2 on the left, or one either side of the content column.
Here is a screenshot showing the sidebars positioned on the right, also with some different colouring to the blog:
The theme has been designed on WordPress 2.6.2 but revamped with WordPress 2.9.2, and presumably works with others in the same development line.
Originally this was designed with the Event Calendar plugin in mind (not to be confused with the Events Calendar plugin), basically forming the theme around it. But as I styled the calendar more I realised it would be just as good with the normal calendar. As of version 1.1.0 this now accepts both those calendars as well as the AJAX Calendar – the options are settable in the admin backend.
Here is a screenshot of the admin backend:

My team and I have just started trying TT, we win like every practice game in normal together, but in ranked we are at a draw we win one then lose one, win one, lose one. We have skype and usually pick these champs-fizz, renek, tryn, ezreal, shaco, fiddlesticks, cho. Now that the background is out of the way, because of our tied up w/l ratio, we lose more elo than we gain, so I have 2 questions. 1. What are some tips in game we could use? 2. What champions do you think would be a good combo for us?(please put up other champion ideas that could be good on TT that i haven't listed)
Don't pick Cho his Q is really hard to land, so its a wild-card. Fiddle is a wild-card too, miss ultimate, lose game. Ezreal, I mean i see a lot of players use it, but it just lacks sustain and can be easily taken down. Renekton really good if build correctly. Trynd OP! O NO! NERF NOW! Fizz good but don't see a lot out there that is good. Should jungle fizz if you are playing it in TT. Also get timers for dragon when you or other team take it. deciding factors. Always take the wolf and ghost buffs they are really reliable. 5 mins dragon timer when it dies. Combo : Morgana, Udyr Phx, Kennen = GG
Ezrael is really good with something like Yorick/Rammus. The other team will have an impossible time trying to catch him. Your argument for not picking cho is the lulz. Don't pick the most amazing dragon control hero in the game cuz his... Q is hard to land... yea...
^^^ cho is a good pick , I noticed u didnt mention jungling, you are warding correct And having map control is half the game if your not timing buffs (wraiths wolves and red) And dragon your falling behind, buffs can change teamfights dramatically along with where your warding, Things i require when picking my team 1. CC or where is our initiation who is going to agro/taunt/fear/stun them so that the dps can do there job 2. Counter picking, NEVER pick easily countered champions 1st, and always focus on whos laning vs who 3. Obviously balanced damage (physical, magical) i usually prefer team having 2wrigles or AD champs that can clear dragon fast and counter jungle them Nice team comp ive done was wukong,olaf,morg/kenn As usualy none of them are banned, wukong for CC and ken/morg to follow up even harder Olaf is also insanely strong as his ulti makes him uncatchable and unstoppable in ganks and teamfights
Relik Bloodlor
Well i don't do ranked yet, but i got some basic stuff to mull over. ¢your team is 6 summoner spells, 9 ability's, 3ults, and 3 passives.(thats not a lot to work with) ¢its very ez to accidental make a 3 man team that deals 75-99% of its damage as physical or magic. (so just as ez to tank that as a team.)thats bad ¢Flash and flash like ability's are great for skirting walls and map control, ghost and ghost like ability's are great for positioning and dragon/red buff interception
Okami Kageteiru
Kennen is really good in TT, try picking him up. Jungle control is extremely important in TT so champs that have strong jungles do very well (Lee Sin, Skarner, Nocturne, Udyr) Try to make sure your teams aren't too heavily AD based. Yorick with any kind of strong auto attacker is just devastating in TT because you are basically making it a 3v4 in that sense. I have seen Yorick do really well with Vayne especially. CC is very important. I like to make sure I have at least one ignite on the team. CV is useful but with it's nerf I'd probably just stick to wards. Wriggles is too good in TT :] I find Malphite to be a very strong pick in TT, because he counters all those bruisers quite nicely, while packing some decent CC and he has good damage naturally. Also it might be useful to pack a smite for jungle control.
TT is all about dragon control. If you want a good tip, this is it. Dragon is massively OP in this game mode, it gives a nice buff (not too important) and crazy gold/exp. If you can get the first dragon it usually snowballs your team into getting the second dragon and so on. Having a bad early game usually means certain death. Going 0-3 and being down a dragon is extremely difficult to come back from and usually means the enemy team has to make mistakes for you to win (or you have to turtle hardcore). Team comps, items, playstyle, timing, has all got to do with getting dragon, that is why Chogath and Shaco are such high priority characters to play, Shaco's smite when used behind minions benifits from backstab meaning you have the highest hitting smite in the game. A good shaco will box up dragon before doing it and unless killed will always steal dragon from the enemy team. Chogath has the same kind of appeal, 1K true damage + smite = hard to steal. Tanky Dps that get wriggles are also very fast dragon killers (usually you have two of these in a game with a tanky AP with some CC). Thats all that treeline really is. Get dragon and win. At higher elo it becomes more about counterpicks and such.
How do you guys usually build Kennen here on TT? I've been having trouble deciding.

The EP is dope. Her singing sounds a little struggle at times but just a tiny bit. Otherwise this is tight.
She is good! Cleaning out my closet gave me goose bumps and the urge to kill all molesters.
Damn, props to her for putting everything out on Cleaning Out My Closet. I'm not a fan of her but I definitely respect her now.
She SMASHED that 1st Lupe joint and i respect her transparency in the last tune those were the stand out points
