< Pantheon | Redirected from Pantheon the Artisan of War/Strategy
Champion | Background | Strategy | Skins & Trivia |
Skill usage
- Pantheon holds the highest movement speed in the game at 355, tied with Master Yi. Use his quick movement speed and strong ranged harass from Spear Shot to whittle your opponents down in lane optimally to take full advantage of his strong early game.
- Pantheon is a potent tower diver because of his passive, Aegis Protection.
- Since using Aegis of Zeonia to stun an enemy also refreshes Aegis Protection, he can easily and reliably avoid the first turret hits when diving, then activate Aegis of Zeonia to stop the enemy champion's movement as well as refresh his passive. In situations where Pantheon stays under turret fire for more than a few seconds, he may be able to activate the passive again, resulting in a significant amount of damage ignored. Use this fact to set up powerful early-game tower-dives together with your jungler. This also works well against physical abilities that apply on-hit effects such as Parrrley, Mystic Shot, and Bladesurge, or turret attacks. This will not block physical abilities like Volley or Ace in the Hole.
- Note that Aegis Protection will block physical attacks but not on-hit effects associated with them such as Blessing of the Lizard Elder.
- Learning Spear Shot first allows Pantheon to get minion kills easily even against ranged opponents.
- When facing ranged opponents (especially before level 3), be sure to go near them only when your spear is off cooldown so you will be able to trade one ranged autoattack from them with a spear.
- Stacking attack damage items will allow Pantheon to use his Spear Shot as a nuke with a short cooldown.
- Using Spear Shot frequently in a battle along with attack speed items can help defensively by charging Aegis Protection.
- Certain Death can be very useful when in team fights since Pantheon can gain a lot of critical strikes.
- Using Aegis of Zeonia quickly followed by Heartseeker Strike can devastate your enemies.
- Using Grand Skyfall to assist your allies across the map can quickly turn the tides of battle, putting your allies at an advantage.
- While in mid air from Pantheon's Grand Skyfall you can select a target for Aegis of Zeonia and when you land, you will jump at the target stunning from a larger distance (est. 1300) than the standard range (this may be a glitch).
- Grand Skyfall makes him one of the best jungle gankers in the game, since he can ignore ward coverage.
- Grand Skyfall can be combined with other AoE ultimates such as Cannon Barrage and Absolute Zero to keep the enemy in the AoE radius and deliver devastating damage.
- Due to Pantheon's dependancy of mana the entire game, putting a mid laner that does not use mana as a resource system ( Vladimir, Mordekaiser) will give you more chances to receive Crest of the Ancient Golem.
- Even though Heartseeker Strike is an AoE ability, it is better to level Spear Shot when jungling.
- Pantheon's standard combo is Aegis of Zeonia, followed by Spear Shot, and finishing off with Heartseeker Strike. (Or possibly starting with the Spear Shot, and then following the rest of the combo, when the combo ends Spear Shot should be off cooldown again, allowing another shot.)
- Having Exhaust and Flash as summoner spells, along with Heartseeker Strike as your first skill, make for an effective first blood combination when in a side lane with a partner. Those summoner spells also provide two good escape mechanisms.
Build usage
- Getting a Manamune is a good alternative to a Chalice of Harmony for Pantheon since it solves his mana problems and gives him a decent amount of attack damage.
- Grabbing a Tear of the Goddess as early as possible will ensure you can stack the mana quickly.
- Stacking attack damage items like B. F. Swords (and what they build into) means Spear Shot and Heartseeker Strike do considerable amounts of damage.
- Building an early The Brutalizer can solidify his early lane dominance and help you take your lane opponent out of the game.
- If you find your opponents are escaping you too often, or you're being focused down, a Frozen Mallet will give you some additional durability in fights, and ensure that fleeing opponents are slowed after using Aegis of Zeonia to engage them.
- For most AD champs, it's best to balance AD and attack speed, as whichever you have less of will boost your DPS more quickly. But with Pantheon, as with Master Yi, there is a special reason that attack speed pays extra; The faster you can attack, the more of your enemy's damage you block with your passive. Double your attack speed means double your effective damage absorption. For this reason:
- Zephyr is particularly good on Pantheon, because it gives him very high, gold-efficient attack speed boost, but also some Attack Damage, important because two of his abilities scale so rapidly from it. It also adds to his mobility advantage.
- Statikk Shiv not only gives attack speed, but also turbo wave clear for split push, something Pantheon does especially well, since he can rejoin his team cross-map with his ult like a mini version of Shen's Stand United, tends to have high AD, has the highest move speed in the game, and already has fast wave clear.
- Perhaps the most universally useful item in the game is Trinity Force, and Pantheon is no exception. It gives him an equal boost of Attack peed and Attack Damage, but ALL of its stats are dramatically useful for him. And though players commonly choose to ignore his sizeable AP boosts for two abilities, it throws in some extra benefit, there.
- If you are needing protection from AP, then Wit's End is useful, as it gives a reasonably high attack speed boost, some Magic Resist, and some extra wave clear and autoattack damage that bypasses armor.
- Because of his extra benefit from Attack Speed, if you are building for sustain then Blade of the Ruined King has great potential on Pantheon. But if you are expecting to exploit his split push superiority, consider taking Ravenous Hydra instead, because like Statikk Shiv, it massively speeds wave clear, especially on a champ with high attack speed.
- Because Heartseeker Strike's passive makes both autoattacks and Spear Shot crit 100% of the time when an enemy is under 15% health, consider Infinity Edge for its ability to increase crit damage from 200% to 250%. Of course its high Attack Damage scales well on Pantheon's abilities, too.

- Investing in a Chain Vest or Cloth Armor early can help you mitigate his damage output.
- Buying health can help you to survive to one or two combos, but you're going to need health regeneration or life steal to sustain yourself in lane against him. After two combos early game, he can be without mana so he shouldn't be a threat.
- If you want to take down Pantheon's Aegis Protection, wait for his jump so he can't recharge it easily.
- When laning against Pantheon, play defensively instead of aggressively. Pantheon may be squishy but his damage output is very high early game.
- Pantheon has no escapes. Baiting him to attack you and having an ally appear to help is likely to spell his doom without the use of summoner spells to escape you.
- Avoiding Pantheon's Heartseeker Strike will help you defeat him. If someone has been stunned by Aegis of Zeonia, it is unlikely they will be able to avoid Heartseeker Strike - but that does not mean you should simply let it hit you.
- Be very careful of Pantheon's ganking capability. Pantheon's Grand Skyfall allows for a quick and deadly gank.
- Pantheon can also use Grand Skyfall to backdoor your turrets.
- Additionally, Grand Skyfall can be used to escape when being ganked (or counter ganks) if you realize it beforehand.
- As Pantheon can cast Aegis of Zeonia on you while dropping down in Grand Skyfall and then have it land from outside its normal, using dashes and escapes to avoid Grand Skyfall may have you stunned nonetheless. If you expect to survive his initial burst damage after being stunned, save your escapes for after that instead of getting away from Grand Skyfall. Of course, avoiding the damage from Grand Skyfall all together may be a larger concern - but consider the possibility.
- Try to avoid the center of Pantheon's Grand Skyfall so you don't suffer the full damage of his ultimate.
- Avoid laning against him if your champion relies on being on low health to reap the full potential of the champion (such as Olaf and Tryndamere) as his Certain Death will cause him to do a lot more damage to you at low heath.

Yes, #2. This regime has a mastery of controlling the message, in other words, propaganda.

"You're just not for everybody," comedic curmudgeon Marc Maron is told — by the more popular TV clown (at least among a comic-store backroom of Twitter nerds) Dave Foley, who plays a rather unflattering version of his real self, as does Maron, in IFC's new dark-side-of-laughter comedy series Maron (Friday, 10/9c). Sunnier than FX's Louie if only by virtue of being filmed in California, the sardonically squirm-inducing Maron alternates between slice-of-rant sitcom and self-obsessed podcast from the comedian's garage, where he vents on his unhappy personal life, his diarrhea-prone cats and his unruly, taunting Twitter following: "Who are these people? Don't they have lives?" You might well ask the same about Maron, although if he was happy (shades of Louie) there'd be no show.

After seven-and-a-half years at the firm, Marjorie Kaufman is gone.
Marjorie Kaufman, Kingdon Capital Management's head of investor relations, was let go from the firm this past Thursday, according to an e-mail she sent to friends and associates this week. In a letter to clients, Kingdon said that Kaufman left "to pursue other interests." The $4.8 billion Kingdon hired Kaufman in 2003. Kaufman said her letter was meant to clarify the involuntary nature of her departure. Kingdon terminated her employment "without cause and without notice, in breach of our contract," she wrote....

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. The Hoodie has returned. I've decided that without my most evil asset, NFL domination will have to be put on hold for right now. Instead I'll tell you about my summer break and answer your mail.
As some of you have informed me in your mail, my evil legion lost the Super Bowl to the New York Giants. They're so wholesome. Instead of being involved in raucous orgies and murderous mayhem, Eli married his college sweetheart. Bradshaw violated a probation, and Plax smacked his wife around a bit, but it's all so petty. I miss the Giants that let Jimmy Hoffa be buried under their stadium. To be sure, it was a very sad day for me. When I got home, all of my kittens and puppies looked longingly at me, wishing that I would kick them. I did kick a few kittens, but my heart just wasn't in it. I did perk up a bit when I saw the car trailing me while I was on my way to rob the Salvation Army. It was Iranian intelligence. The Ayatollah wants his missiles back. Fat chance of that.
So what does a Super Bowl loser do all summer? Cry? Drink? I can say with much pride and confidence that I didn't do any of that. Instead I worked on crushing my enemies. Colts O-Line? Check. Shawne Merriman? Check. South Ossetia? Check. US Track Team? Check. Pervez Musharraf? Check. The Giants were a little harder to get to, but I got Osi Umenyiora all the same. I just wish my intelligence network would have picked up on the plot to get Tom Brady. Who could have seen it coming from the Chiefs? That's ok. I know they weren't behind it. They were the pawn. It was Dungy all along.
Enough of that. I did eventually prepare for this season. Wilfork was high on my list. His evil inclinations are certainly worth fostering. But cheap shots and eye poking won't do the job. Any NFL player can do that, and I encourage it regularly. However, he is my padawan, and I expect more. He still hesitates to kick kittens. I hope it's because he aspires to more. Evil transcends the field, and I fully expect him to at least hold up a liquor store or steal a car. I need more thugs. Troy Brown could do it all; play offense, play defense, play special teams, steal Peyton's Super Bowl ring, everything. Now that he's retired, I don't have a go-to guy anymore. I know what you're thinking, but everyone suspects Moss.
On to your mail, there's a lot of it:
Greg from New York, New York writes, "Admit it, Bill, you plotted and planned for this credit crisis, didn't you?"I did, Greg. However, I didn't do it for the pleasure of watching everything crash. I just want you guys to know that there are things you can invest in besides toxic mortgages; like evil, for example. Eh? Eh?
Jillian from the SPCA writes, "It's come to our attention that you have not been forthcoming in your reports about your 'Rescue the Kittens and Puppies' effort. We have documentation from PeTA and this blog that your are using our donated kittens and puppies for kicking purposes. We regret to inform you that we will no longer be sending you these animals."
Jillian, you break my heart. I know that I can smooth things over with you. I have already arranged for Tom Brady to visit your office and throw a party. I have also arranged for a letter to be sent telling you that Tom Brady is coming, in order to distract you while Vince Wilfork steals your kittens.
Ali and Farouk from Iranian Intelligence write...
Actually, it's probably best that I don't open this.
Angie from Christiana, Delaware writes, "From a diehard Eagles fan, thank you for Asante Samuel!"
No, I thank you. Asante wanted too much money. I have no room in the evil empire for guys who are in it just for the money. Like this one time, when Tom and I were stealing meals from the nursing home, Tom kicked this lady's walker out from under her. He wouldn't admit it, but during his laughter, I saw a tear of joy. Someone like Asante just can appreciate that.
Robert from Fergus Fall, Minnesota writes, "Why are you so secretive about your team's injuries? what do you have to hide?"
Robert, if you've ever read my blog before, you'd know that there's a small possibility that some of these injuries are not all the result of football. You'd also be able to deduce that if I revealed the nature of these injuries, it could open up inquiries that could set off international incidents, market crashes, and vampires. Do you really want that?
Whitney from Cary, North Carolina writes, "Who are you voting for? Obama or McCain?"
A few things here. For starters, I don't believe in democracy. The other thing is that neither will be my leader. I have diplomatic and nuclear relations with Iran, however troubled they may be. Ahmadinejad has to wonder if preconditions are necessary to meet with ME. Can either of them say this? I didn't think so. I am my own dark lord.
Eric from Staunton, Virginia writes, "You say youre involved in all this illegal stuff, but the fact is that your not...you just say that to sound tough but its really cuz you suck as a coach. talk about football...if you can loser"
Good point, Eric. I should talk about football more. My lust for dark power over my grim domain has caused me to lose focus on the important things. I will say this then. Our plan is to score more points than the other team, minimize our mistakes, while capitalizing on their turnovers. If we do that, we can win. Better?
Frank from Oslo, Norway writes, "Without Tom Brady, you're nothing! Your career record without him is pathetic!!"
Maybe in football it is, but...oh right, Eric from Staunton says I should concentrate on football only. Weiner.
Peyton from Indianapolis writes, "Hey Bill. Funny's funny, but when am I going to get my car back?"
No can do, Peyton. I had to give it to a military officer in Bolivia to buy his allegiance. I told him it belonged to a Manning, and he asked which one. I had to tell him it was Eli's.

Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems are unique modules that effect plasmid stabilization via post-segregational killing of the bacterial host. The genes encoding TA systems also exist on bacterial chromosomes, and it has been speculated that these are involved in a variety of cellular processes. Interest in TA systems has increased dramatically over the past 5 years as the ubiquitous nature of TA genes on bacterial genomes has been revealed. The exploitation of TA systems as an antibacterial strategy via artificial activation of the toxin has been proposed and has considerable potential; however, efforts in this area remain in the early stages and several major questions remain. This review investigates the tractability of targeting TA systems to kill bacteria, including fundamental requirements for success, recent advances, and challenges associated with artificial toxin activation.

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Every effort is made to make the best wines possible. The red wine is hand-made and great care is given to the selection afterwards. The grapes are transported in small boxes of 20 kg in order to avoid them being squeezed or oxidation. The preparation of the wine is done in a traditional way: every parcel of vines is separately prepared in small vats of stainless steel or wood with integrated hot and cold regulation. The wine is aged in oak barrels for between 16 to 18 months according to the vintage.
"One of the finest under-the-radar estates in Pessac-Leognan, Haut-Bergey's 2005 (a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot) offers up aromas of scorched earth, wet stones, burning embers, charcoal, and copious black currant and cherry fruit. The sumptuous bouquet is accompanied by a full-bodied wine displaying dazzling purity, sweet tannin, and a long, opulent finish. This beauty will be drinkable at a relatively early age for a 2005. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025. " 92 Points The Wine Advocate
"Aromas of mineral, blackberry and licorice lead to a full body, with lots of racy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. There's plenty of character, with a polished, refined style, yet tannic. Best after 2011. 9,830 cases made. " 91 Points Wine Spectator
"Good full, deep red. Superripe aromas of redcurrant, plum, cherry, flowers and beefsteak tomato. Sweet, fat and full, but less wild and expressive today than the 2006. Distinct notes of milk chocolate and roasted berries. The major tannins currently cut off the wine's fruit. Impressively rich but lacks a spark: is this too ripe for its own good?" 90 Points International Wine Cellar
"Scattered notes of stony spice and tobacco join with fairly solid young curranty fruit in both the aromas and flavors of this full-scaled and well-extracted young Graves, and it delivers a little more volume and depth than we would expect at the price. It is long on tannic grip at the moment and is thus one meant for the cellar, and we urge at least five to eight years of patience before pulling its cork." 90 Points Connoisseurs' Guide
In the fifteenth century, the lord of La Louviere and Lord Olivier proceeded to land consolidation. Thus was born The Noble House of Pontey, today Chateau Haut-Bergey. In 1700, Sir John Francis Cresse, advisor to the parliament of Bordeaux makes his home. In 1772, the estate had 100 hectares of vines.

Press release
With performance-inspired, aggressive and sleek styling, Kia Motors America (KMA) today globally debuted the 2010 Forte Koup production vehicle during a press conference at the 2009 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). Joining the Forte family in the KMA lineup, the company's first-ever two-door coupe embodies the brand's current bold design direction first seen on the concept version of the Soul urban passenger vehicle in 2006.
"On the heel of the introductions of the Soul and Forte sedan, Forte Koup represents the next exciting step in the transformation of Kia design and offers a blend of sporty and emotional appeal," said Michael Sprague, vice president, marketing, KMA. "We believe our new design evolution coupled with standard Kia value and safety features will continue to attract customers to the Kia brand."
Curb Appeal
2.0-liter, inline four-cylinder 156 hp @ 6200 rpm and 144 lbs-ft @ 4300 rpm; 2.4-liter, inline four-cylinder 173hp @ 6000 rpm and 168lbs-ft @ 4000rpm
Based on the design styling of the KOUP concept vehicle shown during last year's show, Forte Koup's fluid lines and balanced proportions, meant to evoke an emotional driving experience, closely mirror the powerful design cues of the concept vehicle and offer the same aggressive stance with swept-back wrap-around headlamps, aggressive air intakes and a low, sleek profile. Available in two trim levels (EX and SX), Forte Koup offers a muscular yet sophisticated design. Even from behind, Forte Koup exudes attitude with slim, wrapped tail lights, duel exhaust outlets and a rear diffuser.
Athleticism and convenience are standard for the Forte Koup EX with body-color bumpers, power heated outside mirrors with integrated turn signals and 16-inch alloy wheels outfitted with P205/55R16 tires. The SX trim offers an even sportier profile with 17-inch alloy wheels paired with P215/45R17-sized premium tires.
Smooth and Sporty Ride
With a wheelbase of 104.3 inches, an overall length of 176.4 inches, an overall width of 69.5 inches and overall height of 55.1 inches, Forte Koup is slightly shorter in length and height than the Forte sedan, but still boasts comfortable seating for up to five passengers. Koup's lowered stance provides better aerodynamics for those looking for a more exciting ride.
The Kia-engineered body achieves high torsional stiffness giving Forte Koup better handling, smoother ride quality and greater refinement than its competitors, with a specially tuned suspension developed to optimize responsive handling on curvy roads. Additional refinements are fitted throughout to help ensure a comfortable ride with good noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) reduction qualities.
Built on a front-wheel-drive unibody frame, Forte Koup utilizes the same platform as the sedan, with an independent front suspension with MacPherson struts and stabilizer bar and a torsion beam rear suspension with struts and coil springs. This combination helps provide the optimal balance of handling and comfort. An engine-speed-sensitive, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system adds the finishing touch for precise handling to help provide the most advantageous amount of assist for varying road conditions. The SX trim also comes with a sport-tuned suspension providing for a firmer ride with reduced body roll and improved handling.
Lively Performance
More powerful than the Honda Civic Coupe, Ford Focus Coupe or Chevrolet Cobalt Coupe, Forte Koup EX is driven by a 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine, producing 156 horsepower and 144 pound-feet of torque that features Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) and multi-port electronic fuel injection, both of which provide for greater performance and fuel economy. The SX features an upgraded 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine, also with CVVT, which delivers 173 horsepower and 168 pound-feet of torque, more than the Scion tC. Expanding upon the dynamic look and feel, Forte Koup's engine hums powerfully courtesy of the dual exhaust outlets outfitted on both EX and SX trims.
Like the Forte sedan, two transmission options are available for both 2010 Forte Koup models: a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission (EX models). The SX model features a standard six-speed manual transmission and an optional five-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic®.
0 to 60 mph in 8.3–9.1 sec; top speed limited to 130 mph
Forte Koup fuel economy is not sacrificed for sportiness, as both engines deliver at least 31 miles per gallon (highway). The 2.0-liter engine offers 25/34 mpg (city/highway) when mated with either the five-speed manual transmission or the optional four-speed automatic. Those opting for the more powerful 2.4-liter engine also can expect an economical 22/32 mpg with the six-speed manual and 23/31 when paired with the five-speed automatic transmission.
Striking Interior
With a surprisingly spacious interior for a two-door coupe, Forte Koup provides a comfortable 90.7 cubic feet of interior volume, larger than the 2009 Honda Civic Coupe, Scion tC or Chevrolet Cobalt Coupe. Driver and passengers have an impressive 38.7 inches of headroom and 43.6 inches of legroom in the front seats and 35.3 inches of headroom and 33.9 inches of legroom in the rear seats. Trips to the beach and weekend getaways will be a breeze with ample cargo space of 12.6 cubic feet, enough to accommodate luggage and belongings of all passengers.
Forte Koup continues the luxury treatment with a host of standard interior features, beginning with supportive, nicely appointed sport seats outfitted with more aggressive bolsters on the seat cushion and seat back for optimal comfort. Air conditioning, a driver's seat height adjuster, adjustable rear seat headrests, tilt steering column, rear defroster, center console with dual cup holders, map lamps and variable intermittent wipers are also just some of the myriad amenities standard on every vehicle. Also standard on all models are power windows, power door locks with remote keyless entry and cruise control with steering wheel-mounted controls for added convenience.
Progressing to the SX trim offers additional standard touches such as: unique sport cloth seats with vibrant red stitching, a tilt and telescoping steering column, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, metal pedals and metal finish trim and a Supervision™ gauge cluster with trip computer further enhancing its energetic personality. Both EX and SX trims also offer an optional power moonroof.
An optional Leather Package is available for both EX and SX trims. When combined with the EX trim the Leather Package adds leather seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob and heated seats. When paired with the SX trim it includes leather and heated seats in addition to the standard leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
Superior Sound
For inside entertainment while cruising down the road, Forte Koup comes with a standard six-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system outfitted with SIRIUS Satellite Radio capabilities with three months complimentary service¹. For added listening convenience steering wheel-mounted audio controls also come standard on all models, as well as USB and auxiliary input jacks in the center console with full iPod® and MP3 controllability via the audio head unit. Standard Bluetooth® connectivity enables hands-free operation for compatible cell phones.
Standard Kia Motors Safety
Forte Koup offers a class-leading level of standard safety equipment, with features such as dual front advanced airbags, front seat-mounted and side curtain airbags, four-wheel disc brakes with an antilock brake system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC) and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Competitors and press reviews
"The engine is decently peppy but doesn't beg to be driven hard. You'll find yourself reaching for the shift lever well before redline at 6,500 rpm. The drive-by-wire throttle calibration could use a rethink. There's so much manipulation going on that it's impossible to smoothly creep forward in Seoul's plentiful stop-and-go traffic. Driveline lash from the soft engine mounts is likely what this throttle mapping is attempting to offset." (InsideLine)
"Steering is slightly quicker, with a thicker torsion bar and "enhanced steering hydraulic rigidity," which must mean it feels heavier. It's certainly precise, with very good feedback and none of the on-center vagueness that Mike Floyd described the sedan as having in his review of the sedan. Its anti-sway bars also are slightly larger in diameter." (MotorTrend)
"The Koup is calibrated to impart a sense of sportiness. With the manual transmission, the hydraulic clutch engages within a relatively narrow portion of pedal travel, and the shifter action is positive, verging on notchy. Similarly, throttle response on both manual and automatic versions feels surprisingly eager off the line, becoming a bit more numb in the midrange only to sharpen up again in the upper registers. The engine's responsiveness (and relatively short first gears in both transmissions) produces acceleration that can become almost abrupt if driver inputs aren't smooth, but—at least in the preproduction versions we tested—the tuning choice suggests that Kia is serious about sportiness. " (PopularMechanics)
The 2010 Honda Civic Coupe is offered with a choice of four cylinder engine ranging from a 140-hp, 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine (Civic DX, DX-VP, LX, EX and EX-L), with either a 5-speed manual or an available 5-speed automatic transmission, to a 197-hp, 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine (Civic Si) with a 6-speed manual transmission. Price start at $15,455 and go up to $24,255.
The Focus Coupe is equipped with either a 2.0-liter, Duratec 20 dual-overhead-cam (DOHC), inline 4-cylinder engine that delivers 143 hp or a super-clean, 130-hp Duratec 20E engine. Prices start at $17.895 for the SE version and at $19.505 for the SES version.
The Scion tC is powered by a stout 2.4 Liter double overhead cam Toyota built engine with VVT-i that delivers a sporty 161 HP and returns a pocket book friendly 29 MPG on the highway and 21 MPG in the city. Prices start at $17,770.
The 2010 Cobalt is offered in four trim levels: XFE, LS, LT and turbocharged SS models. The XFE, LS and LT are powered by a Ecotec 2.2L VVT I4 engine with an output of 155 hp at 600 rpm and a peak torque of 150 lbs-ft at 4900 rpm. The SS version gets a 2.0L DOHC I-4 engine with a total output of 260 hp at 5300 rpm and a peak torque of 260 lbs-ft at 2000 rpm. Prices range from $14,990 to $24,535.
The 2010 Forte Koup is a car developed primarily for the North American market. It features a sportier and cooler design than both the Civic Coupe or Scion tC (that are considered to be its greatest opponents), and considering it comes with lots of standard equipment is cheaper than any of it.
The interior offers enough space for both driver and passengers. It's true you will still find hard plastic on some parts, but you have to consider this is a under $20K car. The dashboard is simple, with the controls paced logically. The Forte Koup is not a sports car, but Kia wanted sporty. The ride is precise, but with aggressive throttle tip-in. But as long as you will not push the engine to its limits, you will shortly enjoy driving the coupe.

It's still hard to believe that phonebook companies are still in existence yet they keep showing up on my driveway. I absolutely have no use for them. Apparently phone book companies do not either. Just a few weeks ago I stopped a guy at the bottom of my driveway who was ready to toss one of those yellow bad boys my way. I told him that I don't use them anymore and it will just go into the recycling bin. He asked me where my recycling bin was. I told him and he went and tossed it in himself! What a waste.
I guess there's no stopping them... or maybe there is!

Hotel Residence Monge - A great budget hotel
Advantages: Cheap, clean, comfortable, nice breakfast and staff, easy to visit all of Paris Disadvantages: None
...This week we had a 2 night break to Paris; we stayed in the Hotel Residence Monge. I found the hotel on the internet through Parishotels.com. I then used various review sites to find out what others thought. Area The hotel is situated in the 5th arrondissement, walking distance to Notre Dame. It was a nice area to walk around in; plenty of lovely restaurants, bars and shops only 5 minutes...

traditional architecture of the Pueblo Indians of the southwestern United States. The multistoried, permanent, attached homes typical of this tradition are modeled after the cliff dwellings built by the Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi) culture beginning in approximately AD 1150. This architectural form continued to be used by many Pueblo peoples in the early 21st century.

Groupon has been in the news lately for a spurned buy out offer from Google.
As do a lot of folks, I have a love/hate relationship with Google. Love Gmail, love free apps, love their competitiveness with Microsoft, and their motto of "Do No Evil".
But, when companies can strike down blogs/advertisers with no recourse they seem like a bully, and who likes bullies?
But back to Groupon…. Who is to say if they made a good business decision to blow off Google's 5 billion dollar offer…
They either are an independent sort who don't want a corporate giant telling them what to do, or they know they will get a better offer as they grow their business.
Back to Groupon Review
I had resisted the Groupon fad because the company focused on large cities initially, and I don't live in or near a large city.
A few of the smaller cities near me are now Grouponed, plus I know many of my readers are city dwellers. So I decided- time for me to get my "Groupon ON!"
The home page is simple, and invites you to join, no muss no fuss. Just the usual valid email and password.
They then invite you to give them a little personal info, so they can personalize their Groupons.
For those of you, who are from Iron City, and are still wondering, "What the hell is a 'Groupon' ?" Let me 'splain it to you:
Groupon, simply put, is a coupon for groups. They publish a "deal a day", you download the deal, pay Groupon by credit or debit card.
You then give your coupon or show the business advertising the special your coupon on your phone, iPad, or a printed copy and you get the deal.
The deal is only good if enough people sign up for it. So if you are the only guy in Peoria signing up for a 50% off high colonic, you will be disappointed…..
Groupon Pluses:
- A deal a day
- 40-50% discount on average on the deal
- Complete satisfaction
Downside to Groupon
(after reading numerous online reviews):
- If you are tempted to overspend, don't, don't, don't sign up. (if you are addicted to Home Shopping Channels, That's a sign! )
- If you don't like to read the fine print, you will get screwed-(many reviews mentioned buying "first time customers only" groupons, and when they tried to redeem, the business wouldn't honor the coupon because they were a previous customer. So as usual buyer beware.
- Limited to cities, so if you live a hundred miles from a medium sized city, it may cost you more in gas than the savings are worth.
- Another daily email, and if you are like me, you already can't read the ones you get.
Dr Dean's Groupon Guards:
After signing up and reading reviews, what are my takes?
- Only use Groupon for items you already plan to buy, and can truly save money on. If you have 50 bucks set aside for dinner in your spending plan, and you can get a Groupon for the same dinner at 25 bucks-go for it.
- If you have a spending problem, don't sign up. Like recently reformed smokers who still go to the only bar in town that allows smoking….Stupid!
- READ THE FINE PRINT-sorry for yelling, but if you aren't going to read the whole offer, and its limitations, expiration date, first time customer only limits, then don't even sign up. The only one you can blame is YOU!

Stone Temple Pilots front man Scott Weiland says he had NO IDEA his band was planning to fire him today ... but according to Scott, it doesn't matter ... because he can't be fired from a group HE created.
Scott just released a statement in response to STP's press release this morning -- in which the band claims they "officially terminated" Weiland from the group.
Scott said, "I learned of my supposed 'termination' from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press."
He added, "Not sure how I can be 'terminated' from a band that I founded, fronted, and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out."
Sh*t just got real.
LMFAO, this would be like Paul Stanley firing Gene Simmons from Kiss. Ain't gonna happen. Hell, Scott just let it go and go out on your own.
Watch this will somehow turn into a mistake, and they will announce another reunion tour and play at coachella.
Yup. That's about right. I know of a guy who got voted out of his own band. The band decided to get another name (the name was his too), & since, has disappeared off the face of the earth. He practically lost his mind. This is why i trust no one. There are NO friends in this business. Can't wait to see what happens.
Hey Scott, if Johnny could overcome his demons, then so can you!!!! Screw those guys. Stay clean and sober.
And happy b-day to Johnny Cash who would have been 81 today.

Why is it fashionable to hate QR Codes?
Posted: 14 Apr 2013 Filed under: Libraries, QR Codes, Technology, Technolust | Tags: iPad, Libraries, QR Codes, Technology Leave a commentDuring spring break earlier this month I created a QR Code Scavenger Hunt in our library for tweens and teens. Since I was busy with other commitments that kept me out of the library or working on different projects that week, I couldn't devote much time to specific programing for that age range. However, the scavenger hunt served as a fun way to get kids into the library when they had free time during their vacation. As long as they had a clean library card, they could borrow one of our iPads and attempt to complete the hunt. Everyone who successfully completed it had their name entered into a drawing to win one of two $10 iTunes gift cards. The drawing was done after a Stop-Motion Animation with iPads program on Friday afternoon, which brought more kids to both.
Though there are always improvements that can be made, the hunt went over well and the feedback from everyone who participated (and their parents) was positive. Using the iPads and scanning the codes made learning about the library a lot more fun. Searching the catalog, finding information in books around the library, and solving simple problems changed simply because of the tech they got to play with.
So it bothers me that so many librarians hate on QR Codes. Just because it might not be something that is appropriate for your library doesn't mean that it might not have a place elsewhere. Even if QR Codes are just a fad, which they very likely might be, so what? If there is a fun and informative way to use them, then do it. Let's stop focusing on the negative.
The tools we use are only limited by our creativity. They are as good or bad as we make them.

Son'a shuttle
This long-range, streamlined, Starfleet shuttle was used by Data, while surveying the Ba'ku planet. During an accident, which caused Data's ethical sub-routines to become crosswired, Data used the scout ship to attack the Son'a flagship in orbit of the planet.
Captain Picard and Worf were forced to bring Data and the scout ship down by docking with the vessel and later subduing its android pilot.

NORTH STANGROUND Footnotes
This wedge-shaped tract of land represents the northern portion of the former parish of Stanground, which until 1905 was partly in the Isle and partly in Huntingdonshire. In that year it was divided into North Stanground (Isle) and South Stanground (Hunts.). (fn. 1) North Stanground has no separate history, (fn. 2) but although it contains less than 2 square miles and a population of only 32 (fn. 3) it presents some interesting administrative features. Historically, it forms part of North Witchford hundred, but it is now included in Thorney Rural District-one of the small local government areas constituted in 1894 to regularize the position when a Poor Law Union extended into more than one county. (fn. 4) Ecclesiastically it still forms part of Stanground and of the archdeaconry of Huntingdon, and its connexions with the Soke of Peterborough have been close, for the Peterborough Corporation established a Smallpox Hospital (fn. 5) and Sewage Farm within its bounds. Its 1,117 acres are divided amongst no fewer than six 'principal landowners'. There is no made road through the parish, but it is crossed by the Peterborough-Ely section of British Railways, Eastern Region, (fn. 6) and by two important waterways-Moreton's Leam and its successor the modern River Nene.
There are no churches, chapels, schools, or charities in this parish.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am so thankful for this amazing school and the staff. They hold a standard for teaching the students about God and how to defend their faith. My children (3) are so excited to go to school. When they were in public school it was like a nightmare everyday preparing them for school. Now they are excited to go and love learning again.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! The core values of LOVE SECURITY ACCESSIBILITY QUALITY are held to an extremely high standard.
This school is amazing! I am so happy to be around other christian kids! Although the school may be great, but principal currently there, is not a very kind and welcoming person. That is the only bad thing about the school! LMCA could use a principal that is encourgeing. She is not welcoming and she could work on her people skills.
It is my first year teaching, and I am overwhelmed with the amazing support of other teachers and the school leadership. From behind the scenes, I can see that their passion is for the whole student, that they would be provided with the tools to succeed scholastically, spiritually, and emotionally in life after high school. I can honestly say that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else- I love my job and the students I get to teach!
My children have been at LMCA for seven years and we have been very happy with it. We have been here long enough to have seen many changes and are very pleased with the direction the school has headed. The administration is incredibly supportive. Although there has been a greater focus on academics in recent years (a good thing!), it has not lessened the focus on spiritual formation. Probably our favorite part of the school has been the Bible and worldview classes, and the opportunities our children have had to go on mission trips (locally, out of state, and even out of the country) to put what they have learned into practice. Our children have grown so much here and are so happy with the education they've received, the relationships they've made, and the investment they know the teachers have made in them.
LMCA is an amazing school. I have read through some of the reviews on this site. I know people get mad and feel they need to bash a school but this school is unique in so many ways. Remember I did not say "perfect" Is there such thing as a perfect school. You will meet a group of people like never before. This school is all about building community and always making you feel at home in a safe environment. My kids love their school which in turn makes for a happy kid. The teachers invest into them in a way we have never seen before. You feel like you are dropping them off to people who love them not there for a paycheck. Rather than take from some of the negative response, stop by LMCA for a tour and see it for yourself. I promise it is well worth your time. From a very happy LMCA family!!! <3
I am a teacher at LMCA and I think it is the most wonderful place to send your children! We have a Christian environment, smaller and safer classes, great sports programs, challenging curriculum, excellent drama department, great music department for elementary...the list goes on! We have an excellent before and after school program that also includes summer, Christmas break, and spring break. If you are looking for a place where your children will receive a total education, LMCA is the place. Our goals for your family will be love, quality, safety, and accessibility.
LMCA is a great school! It is unique in the fact that there is so much love on this campus, yet it does not distract from education. The students were overwhelmingly welcoming when I first started working here last year. I can't imagine a better place to be.
Today we celebrated life! Our entire school and family members were served an incredible homemade turkey dinner. During our meal, children and adults alike shared the reasons for their grateful hearts. LMCA is committed to educating the whole student not only academically but also through character building.
With two daughters enrolled, I must say I am thoroughly satisfied! There is a love for each student and even for our family, that is just beyond words. The staff really cares! Also, I cannot believe what the girls are learning. They are both in elementary, but the curriculum is advanced and the critical thinking skills they are learning are just amazing. I would highly recommend this school. Take a tour and you will be sold!!
LMCA is an amazing school and community in Henderson, NV. It is a place where our kids are loved and safe. You cant put a price on education when your child comes home happy and always excited to go to school. We are so thankful to have such a great school in the Vegas Valley. Our kids go on a week long mission every spring time. Last year they had 7 places they could pick from. My oldest went to serve in Guatemala and my other child went to Canada. They came back with a different outlook on life and how others live. Thank you Lake Mead Christian Academy... our family loves this school!!! <3
This school is a BLESSING for our daughter and our family. The staff is caring, understanding and supportive. I see a Bright future :)
This was my sons first year at lmca.As a parent I feel the principle needs to do a better job on hiring teachers. I paid thousands of dollars and received a public school education. The classes were small so you would think the teacher would be able to give individual attention. Nope she was very unorganized and played favorites. Which is not the Christian way . Very disappointed.
I am a teacher at LMCA. There are lots of great things I could say about our school, but I'd like to focus on our relationship with our families. We promote community building among our staff and parents, and while we may not have perfected it yet, we are building strong relationships. In March my brother had a stroke, and not expected to live. The parents in my classroom rallied around and purchased an airline ticket for me to go spend time with my brother! We have become a family, we share in each others heartaches and blessings. Building strong community is the tie that binds us! I love knowing that families from my class feel the freedom to come to me with a need, a praise, or prayer request. These type of relationships make it easy for families to continue at LMCA. Everyone wants to feel loved, and every parent wants to know their child is loved! This is a portion of life at LMCA! Are we a perfect school? Of course not! And we are not perfect people! But we do strive to be our best for The Lord Jesus Christ! Come check us out!
My Daughter has been enrolled @ LMCA since she was 4 yrs old. She will enter into 4th grade for the 2013/2014 school year. The staff is phenominal! There is much love and encouragement by all who work and attend the school! The Holiday Breaks / Summer Program is also something we look forward to. There is a great vision for the new High School Building. Its good to see a school that continues to re-give funds to itself for continued growth.
I am going to maybe going to lmca... Is it safe? What kind if sports do they have? What is there teaching style? What classes can I take? I am going into the 8th grade I would appreciate a respon thank you.
LMCA is a hidden gem in the Henderson Valley. There are so many wonderful things about the school that make it unique. I read a few of the negative posts on this site and the facts are not correct. One of the things our family loves most about LMCA is that it accepts kids that are not Christians. They are there to minister to ALL kids and of ALL ages. Is it a perfect school? No, but it is an amazing school!!! The Alumni go off to college and after graduation they return to teach and serve in the ministry they love. I suggest you go to LMCA for a tour and make your own opinion about the school. See it in action, meet the wonderful staff, teachers and even observe the students. This school is not about the money, yes there are cost and expenses that every private school has but the staff is there to serve God. My kids never stepped foot in public school, I have seen parents who made the decision to let there kids go to public school but I have also seen them come back per their child's request. It is far from a "typical school", both of my kids are in college and doing extremely well and were very prepared for college. They also prepared them to defend their faith in the world.
As a parent, I could not be more happy with the school. The results show. Their students go on to college, complete, and do well. They educate the whole child- academically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Their worldview and missional training is incredible and the alumni speak of those experiences and classes often and with high praise. They don't compromise at all. They know that Christians can have a fabulously strong education and be solid in their faith at the same time.
The school is more about your money more than teaching. They like to try and squeeze as much money out of you as they can. As far as the education, it is nothing to rave over. Many teachers are not qualified to teach and don't have degrees (I have seen students graduate, only to come back and teach the very next year). For elementary school, the education is fine. For everything higher, you are better off going to public school. As with the students, it is just a typical school that just happens to have the extra Bible class. Many parents put their kids in the school thinking that it is a better school with better parents. But when many parents do that, well, you have a lot of non Christians there, and guess what, makes it all the same as a public school, except hoping that the extra Bible class will somehow change them. Really, it isn't better than anything you would get at a public school. In the end, you are better off attending another school.
