So far i have played about 25 to 30 matches with Shen, did win some and lose some. This is my take on him right now.
Ki Strike - Nice passive, quite decent to punch extra damage when being attacked by champions. However the fact that must be a champion attacking you in order to reduce the refresh time makes it less interesting that it should be. The fact is that once people realize that hitting Shen is a bad ideia he will be hit less and less therefor making his passive less effective. It works well with Shadow Dash as the taunt forces you to be attacked thus increasing the amount of damage dished out.
Vorpal Blade - Pretty decent spell. Ok damage for a tank. Healing is decent to help you stay in the lane during the early game. However at late game stages Vorpal Blade makes little diference to the team. Greatest problem seems to be that the effect proc only once every three seconds, thus since the duration of it is 5 seconds at best you will get two procs. This is mitigated by the fact that the cooldown is only 3 seconds so you could use it again before the effect ends, however as i explain below that is impossible due to power issues.
Feint - Excellent/Really Bad ability. This is an excelent ability since it can absorb 310 damage from one attack. Allowing Shen to stay in the fight longer. It's really bad since any damage makes it proc. So if you feint and get hit by a minion it will consume the feint. Also happens with other attacks making it less reliable than we could desire for. All of that would not be a problem if it wasn't for the energy cost. Again i will go over that bellow.
Shadow Dash - Probably Shen's best ability by far. It can be used to escape, to attack, even to some degree to initiate. The only problem is it's energy cost which makes this ability pretty expensive to use and hardly usable more than once during a combat.
Stand United - Also a extremly good ability to prevent ganks, turn the tide of the battle, escape and even to some more creative uses. So far i have seen no problem with it.
Stats - Since Shen is a HP based tank it would be fair that his initial HP and HP gain would be higher than it currently is. I would not mind if he moved a tiny bit faster even if for a tank he moves quite fast. The only reason i say that is because most of his skills are pretty short ranged so short range plus slow moving makes you really need some form of movement boost to catch people. He has decent armor and lacks on magic resistance. I have a small issue with his lack of MR since no items that have it synergize with his abilities or playstyle. So it's pretty hard to put his MR up without sacrificing a bit. However this is understandble as he needs a weakspot.
Energy - This is probably the only real problem i have with Shen. His energy starts with 200 and at level 18 still 200. Even thou some of his spells become cheaper as you level most of the time you will be out of energy to cast more than 3 in a row. That would not be a problem if we could have itens that allow his energy to recharge faster or increase his energy pool. But right now most of the time you will Shadow Dash, Vorpal and if you managed to hit SD you may be able to shield. For the rest of the fight you probably will be out of energy to do anything else.
Bottom Line - I assume that my ELO should be somewhere in the mid range due to my number of victories being only slightly higher than my defeats. So i am basing my thoughts on this tier. For my ELO he seems to be pretty ok, you will score kills, you will support your group and if played well you will also prevent most ganks against your team. This last aspect is very valuable when playing with a pre-made team, if you manage to communicate well 90% of the time you will be able to prevent people from getting ganked during mid to late game stages. You manage to score kills because you have alot more staying power than most characters. Aside from some very strong carries i faced a few characters on 1 on 1 basis and managed to score a kill. If they run i can ghost and shadow dash to prevent them from running away. However the energy problem prevents me from doing something better at late stages of the game. When team fights start to be more important lack of energy just becomes unberable.
Suggestion - Raise his HP a bit to he can be more in line with other high HP tanks and either scale his energy pool with his level or allow mana regen itens to affect his energy recovery. With those two things i belive Shen will be a very decent hero.
Thanks for your time reading this feedback. I appreciate any suggestions and comments.

All the stuff you think is amazing, is really his biggest areas of flop.
Like I said in some other posts, he is a really fun champions, but he needs some buffs.
They needs to buff his W: either low the cooldown and energy cost so you can spam it, or raise the amount it defends substantially.
They also need to buff his R: Make it so it is 3 seconds of invulnerability to him and his target. Right now, it is only good to move around the map with (and SOMETIMES save someone). It SHOULD be made to be used in team fights so that you can initiate with taunt, then ult on top of your carry to protect them and you for a few seconds. At its current state, if you try to do that, your ultimate will get knocked off in .222 seconds and then you are left to die.

Faster-than-expected advances in electronic derivatives trading have forced inter-dealer broker Icap to step up plans to launch its own electronic swaps trading platform.The UK-based broker is to enter the market in September by adding trading capabilities to its i-Swap product - currently a platform for view-only distribution of interest rate swaps data to Icap clients that has also been used by Icap's brokers to electronically book voice-brokered trades to the firm's back office since 2001.
While the launch reflects greater overall market moves toward electronic trading of swaps contracts, it is specifically in response to the success of Barx, Barclays Capital's page of executable swaps data on Bloomberg, which launched last July and has since rolled out a wide coverage of currencies. Icap insiders freely acknowledge that Barx was a wake-up call that forced Icap to show its hand.
The trading launch will offer transaction support for eonia (euro overnight index average) swaps currently offered by electronic brokers ATFox and E-Mid. Initially, i-Swap will offer 25 eonia benchmark runs, comprising 19 spot and six forward runs, and up to 60 other non-benchmark forward runs. The system is currently being used for price discovery by approximately 30 banks. Officials say 20 are interested in trading, and three have agreed to make markets on the platform and provide streaming prices throughout the day.
The system is based on the ASTS trading system, designed for trading exchange-traded equities, from Australian vendor Computershare, though this has "had the guts ripped out of it", said i-Swap director Kieran Nolan. The core engine is written in C, with the front-end—delivered directly to user desktops running Microsoft Windows (or to servers if there are more than 30 users at a client site) via dedicated lines or a SSL VPN—written in C++. At Icap, the system runs on Sun Microsystems servers running the Solaris operating system.
Nolan said current versions of the software already include trading support — Icap merely has to give users permission to trade. Clients will be provided with an API and a real-time data interface for submitting prices and entering orders — either manually or from automated spread matrices.

We make finding a home in Florida speedy and easy on our popular website GetMoreOffers.com. Our site contains homes for sale by owner and MLS listed properties from many areas of Florida.
Our agents pay attention to every detail about your significant purchase. The type of contract that you use to make an offer is important. Our agents will advise you on whether an "As-Is" contract is better way to make an offer versus a contract with repair limits. There is a huge difference. For example, an "As-Is" contract allows a buyer to escape the contract for any reason once inspected. Where a contract calls for repair limits of 1.5% of the sales price to discuss and negotiate inspection related "warranted" repair items. This type of contract is not as easy to escape. The term "warranted" opens the door for possible conversations that may not be in the best interest of a buyer. Your agent can best determine which type of contract best suits your needs.
Our number one priority is your purchase and getting the most for your money. Each agent that works with ADDvantage® has buyer skills that are exceptional, has demonstrated their professionalism through work ethic, real estate contract knowledge and excellent local knowledge.

Japan to trial emergency 'calls' by Twitter in disaster zones
Japanese authorities will soon trial a new warning system that would allow imperiled members of the public to contact the emergency services by sending messages on social networking sites like Twitter. The Fire and Disaster Management Agency said it will test the system this (northern) summer, Kyodo reported. The disaster …
Yeah, Fake Calls
The 999 system here is abused a lot, if they use Twitter for emergency calls the poor Japanese will be up and down their hillsides like mountain goats.
There is also a chance that the emergency message never gets read having disappeared in a morass of inane boring, insignificant and self important posts from people who have inane, boring and insignificant self important lives.
Re: Yeah, Fake Calls
"There is also a chance that the emergency message never gets read having disappeared in a morass of inane boring, insignificant and self important posts from people who have inane, boring and insignificant self important lives."
What, people like us commentards, you mean?
great idea but.... in the October 2012 'Hurricane Sandy' emergency in the USA, there were many episodes of zero comms available due to BTS having little to no backup power. And anecdotally there continue to be many GSM/3G/4G BTS being installed in EU without UPS (to save money) As the mains power is so reliable they can normally meet a 4 x 9s target - except when there's a crisis!
The above article mentions how the FCC complained after 'Hurricane Katrina' that there was insufficient backup power, and the telecoms companies responded by suing the FCC and continued not installing.
By all means use twitter/instagram/whatever for emergencies - but make someone install a sufficient infrastructure before relying on social media!!!. For the bearded readers, does RAYNET understand FB?
China Name Plate Co. LTD.
It is a great idea. Twitter is popular in Japan and a good chunk of Twitter's users are in Japan. But Japan's 911 is not just 119. 119 is for the fire department. 110 is for the police. 118 is for an emergency at sea. http://cnp-keythai.com/

OMG Big wave cmng 2 beach. I can haz PFD ASAP PLZ?
Not actually a dumb idea
For dealing with individual emergencies, the system would be pretty awful but in the event of a large scale disaster such as an earthquake or a hurricane, the system could gather locations that are being tweeted from and that would help to pinpoint emergency hotspots.
How about sending notifications in the other direction? (Makes more sense)
It makes a lot more sense to me that any emergency declaration/notification be sent to the public via text message, Twatter, & Farcebook than to use the "Emergency Broadcast System" on TV or Radio (A cold war throwback from the "duck and cover" days of my youth)
Unfortunately, this generation will continue to text away as the tsunami rolls them into human mush.
The fact still remains that TV and Radio over the air broadcasts are more likely to be operating in an big emergency than any overall phone or IT communication backbone.
Most TV & Radio broadcast transmitters are located at the antenna (usually out in the boonies) and have generator power available.
A few hundred watts will go a LONG way on radio. I assume the same for TV.
Cable, Internet or telephone relies on various fiber/copper backbones so there are a lot of potential points of failure.

DEFINITION of 'Inclusion Amount'
An additional amount of income that a taxpayer may have to report as a result of leasing a vehicle or other property for business purposes. The inclusion amount must be reported if the fair market value of the leased vehicle exceeds a certain threshold.
The inclusion amount is designed to limit the taxpayer's deduction amount to the amount that would be deductible as depreciation if the taxpayer owned the vehicle or equipment. This prevents the taxpayer from being able to deduct the entire amount of the larger lease payment versus the lesser amount of the depreciation.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Inclusion Amount'
The inclusion amount will differ according to the type of property or equipment that is leased; the inclusion amount for cars is different than the rate applied to office equipment or computers. Car leases require that an inclusion amount be included for every year that a vehicle is leased, while other property needs an inclusion amount only if the business usage drops to 50% or less during the year.

$20 San Diego/SoCal food parcel
- Rodzilla Oct 15, 2012 11:58 PM
I took part in a regional food exchange. The limit is $20 worth of items, and won't require a lot of additional cost to ship. I was paired with someone in Norfolk Virginia.
Since SD's best consumable products are beer and uni and you may not want to ship those, perhaps Ballast Point's Bloody Mary mix or Stone's sauces/mustard?
I've gifted Chuao hot chocolate to out-of-town friends, and it's been well-received. I love the Spicy Maya and generally go for that, but some of the other flavors look good, too.
Jar of Chrystal's Raw Honey . 12 or more different honeys to choose from including Strawberry, Avocado, Sage, various citruses. These are not flavored-added. The bees are exposed to those distinct pollens. Dale and Chrystal are at 3 area farmer's markets. They also sell little taste sticks of all flavors. Amazing San Diego county product.
You can read more here: http://www.examiner.com/review/organi...
+ 1 on Chuao. The Firecracker bar is fun and something different. I took an assortment of bars to some chocolate addict friends in Chicago and they loved them. I believe Chuao has some new flavors launching for its 10th anniversary this fall, but not sure when that is.
I'll also suggest Jackie's Jams. Tasty stuff.
Thanks everyone,
RE: Chauo, perhaps I'm the minority but I don't really see them as special to SoCal...while I'm sure the chocolates are quality, you can find them in Walmarts nationwide. I'd much sooner go with Eclipse.
The mention of stones mustard made me remember the SoNo mustard company. They're SD locals and I've really enjoyed their stuff.
Honey is a good call, and I would do the Jams but she specifically asked for no jelly/jam
Keep them coming!
re: Rodzilla
San Diego avocado honey was a revelation to me, so I agree that would be a great item to include. I've had it from several producers, and when it's on, it's on: rich and dark with a deep caramel flavor. A buckwheat/avocado blend was another fave. Ask for a taste at your farmers' market and see if you think it's good enough to gift.
re: maestra
i've liked what I've had from Mikolich Honey, I could definitely include a few of there small bear sizes.
re: RhonelyInsanediego
Recommend you try the farmers markets for a few of the less well known and exported varieties such as Nabal, Jalna, Itzamna, Dickenson, Zutano, Bacon, or even Fuerte.
A couple of avocados, dried chiles, and a chocolate bar from either Chuao or Eclipse. Personally, I like Eclipse, and they make small $3 bars.
re: RhonelyInsanediego
haven't made it yet...I'm thinking huitlacoche to start though
re: Rodzilla
Why? It's not particularly representative of SD. It's an incidental by-product of the SD ag production and so few restaurants offer it on there menu.
re: DiningDiva
Of course, this is your package, but I agree with DD. Stone Beer mustard and a loaf of Bread & Cie's Lemon Pugliese. Or a crate of avos.
Is a recipe part of the deal? I'd love to know more about this exchange. It sounds fun.
re: DiningDiva
Besides which, whomever opens that box will believe that they have received something that has spoiled and gone terribly wrong ;-)
re: DiningDiva
I still feel it's somewhat representative, and I doubt she has access in VA..
re: Rodzilla
Too bad you can't ship some of our local uni. It's considered among the best in the world.
Also local favorite, Kennedy's Karne, sells award winning Carne Asada. In fact they claim they have won the national Carne Asada cook off a record 16 times!
re: RhonelyInsanediego
That's not a bad idea...a pound of carne asada, a dozen tortillas, a few avocados from Fallbrook, and some pico de gallo (Maria's is produced locally, or one from a farmers market)...all packed on dry ice along with a recipe on how to make Carne Asada Burritos, the ubiquitous San Diego dish.
Shipping would probably end up costing more than the alloted $20 for the box contents tho' :-)
re: DiningDiva
make sure to throw in a potato so they can make a California Burrito
re: DiningDiva
yum. send one to me, too. Local fresh corn tortillas (nothing but the lime, corn) are a great idea and the carne asada.
re: DiningDiva
If dry ice is an option, wouldn't that put uni into play?
re: RhonelyInsanediego
I guess uni could be frozen and sent. Probably best to flash freeze and then send with dry ice. I could probably help with this as I have access to an endless supply of liquid N2 and liquid CO2. Plus I have good connections with Catalina OP. If anybody would know how to best process and ship uni, Catalina OP would.
re: RhonelyInsanediego
Dry ice shipping is ridiculously expensive - would be way over budget
re: shouzen
Why is it ridiculously expensive ? I do it all the time.
re: RhonelyInsanediego
And how much do you pay for shipping?
re: RhonelyInsanediego
agreed. I'll look into Kennedy's perhaps I can send directly from them.
re: Stiflers_Mom
I was thinking crabcakey and peanuts - it will be several weeks, but I'll let everyone know. For now..still open to ideas :D
Fresh macadamia nuts. I saw them at the farmers' market at the San Diego Public Market last Wednesday. Reed avocados are tasty and rarely seen outside San Diego county. Guavas, although I'm not sure if they will be overripe when they arrive. Persimmons and pomegranates should ship well. Asian pears, dragon fruit, citron (Buddha hand lemon), Meyer lemon, sapote, passionfruit.
Nopales or prickly pear would be great, but I haven't seen either one lately.
re: Idyllwild
ohhh good thoughts. I didn't even think about the fruit shop. I could get some exotic things that she likely hasn't seen.
re: Rodzilla
Today at the PB market two dif vendors had sun-dried organic raisins made from their own grapes. WOW. Pretty amazing-- I'd never had a raisin like that before. Big and almost wine-y. That's not exotic but it's pretty darn Californian.
Okay so here is what I ended up sending, not incredibly exciting but keep in mind the limitations of shipping cross country. I hope she likes it.
5x mini honey bear sampler from Mikolich Honey
Avocado, Buckwheat+Sage, Wildflower, Fall Harvest, Orange Blossom
2x Reed Avocado's
2x Persimmon
re: Rodzilla
nobody doesn't like a honey bear and those sound amazing.

US Airways to add two flights in Manchester
Starting next month, US Airways will be offering two flights daily to Charlotte, N.C., its eastern hub. It currently offers only one flight. The airline will also be expanding daily flights to Washington, D.C. from three to four.
"The airport has been working closely with all of our airlines to try and recapture some of the lost seats we've experienced over the last decade," said Brian O'Neill, Manchester's deputy airport director. "We see this as a possible turning point. We want to help (the airlines) understand that the cuts they've made in New England impact Manchester more dramatically than other airports."
The decision comes after the announcement last month of the merger between US Airways and American Airlines, which, if approved, will result in the largest airline in the country.
O'Neill said US Airways' decision to move forward with the expanded flights will give the airport a chance to demonstrate their viability.
"We feel by having US Airways add this capacity to Manchester prior to the merger being consummated, it gives us an opportunity to work hard to prove the flights can be successful," O'Neill said.
Logan's surge
Travel out of Manchester-Boston Regional Airport has declined by close to 60 percent from its peak in 2005, when it had about 4.3 million passengers. About 2.5 million passengers are expected this year.
While flights out of Manchester have declined, travel out of Boston has surged, driven by low-cost carriers, particularly JetBlue, and international flights. Logan Airport beat its all-time record in 2012, with 29.3 million travelers.
At the Manchester airport, the number of carriers has dropped from seven to four, mostly because of airline mergers. Not including the new flights in April, it currently has 47 flights a day flying non-stop to 16 cities.
Manchester airport officials said they will be stepping up efforts to tout the airport's advantages. "We will be reaching out to our business partners across the region to help get the word out about this new service," Airport Director Mark Brewer said in a statement announcing the new US Airways flights. "If we are able to garner strong community support for the new service, it will strengthen our case for maintaining these additional flights, as well as increasing US Airways service in the future."
The price challenge
O'Neill said a big part of the challenge Manchester faces in competing with Logan is the fact that flights out of Boston typically cost less, because of greater competition among the airlines there.
"You've got that frugal Yankee spirit up here," he said. "People think, 'If I can save 30 to 40 bucks on a flight out of Logan, I'm going to wake up grandma and have her drive me to the city.'"
O'Neill said cost savings on a ticket out of Logan are often outweighed by the ease of getting to and from the Manchester airport, the predictability of flights leaving on time, and the affordability of parking (from $10 a day). O'Neill added that he believed prices between the two cities would level off.
"If I had a crystal ball, I would say the airlines are going to revolt against offering ultra-competitive flights in Boston and losing profits, and eventually the market is going to stabilize and we're going to see airfares between Manchester and Boston get much closer," he said.
O'Neill noted that the additional US Airways flights follow a decision by Delta to add a daily flight to its New York-LaGuardia route. The airport is also actively working to get JetBlue to bring service to Manchester, he said.
With the new flights starting April 9, US Airways will have departures from Manchester to Washington, D.C. at 6 a.m., 7:55 a.m., 12 p.m. and 5 p.m., and flights to Charlotte at 2:19 p.m. and 7:59 p.m.

Rio Ferdinand has teased a special half-time surprise for fans attending his Manchester United testimonial at Old Trafford on Friday night.
The Reds will take on Sevilla in honour of Ferdinand's 11 season reign in M16 and although the match is being treated as a serious pre-season encounter ahead of Sunday's FA Community Shield clash at Wembley, the 34-year-old admits there is something in store for the interval.
"There are a lot of people attending," Rio told ManUtd.com, when quizzed on potential surprises. "In terms of people going on the pitch, the manager wants it to be a serious pre-season game and I think I am governed by that. But there will be a few surprises at half-time, I can tell you that.
"I'm not nervous, but obviously all of the attention is on me during the day and I'm more comfortable in a team environment because that is how I've grown up. But it will be nice to enjoy it with the fans, the people who attend and my family and friends."
Ferdinand was speaking at the Old Trafford Megastore during a signing session for his new book, which reflects on his illustrious tenure at the Theatre of Dreams.
And as he says, the chance to reminisce during its production was enjoyable. "It has been good for that more than anything. The memories, evoking the old times, seeing the old pictures; I've had to go through a load of old pictures and explain them.
"In this book, I've gone into depth about what the emotions were at that time and what was going on around those pictures.
"As a professional you are always driving on to win the next thing, you don't actually sit down and start thinking about what you've achieved and this is the first moment I've ever really had a little bit of that. I've enjoyed it."
A limited number of tickets for Rio's testimonial are still available at. For more information, visit ManUtd.com/tickets or phone 0161 868 8000.

A very great thing to have, too bad that over 90% of the world population was born without it.
If Taylor had any intellect, she might actually be good for something.

SPARTA, Ky. (AP) - Joey Logano cruised past Joe Gibbs Racing
teammate Kyle Busch with 10 laps to go and held on to win Kentucky
Speedway's Nationwide Series race for the second consecutive year.
Last year in the Meijer 300, Logano became the youngest winner in a Nationwide event. On Saturday night, he made history as the first repeat winner in the track's signature NASCAR race.
Logano made the move past the series-leading Busch shortly after
a red flag delayed the race for nearly nine minutes to clean debris off the track.
Most of the night, Busch dominated - at one point leading 104 consecutive laps.
It was Busch's second runner-up finish of the day, having lost the NASCAR truck race to Colin Braun hours earlier at Michigan International Speedway.

Baron Funds Comments on Illumina Inc.
Posted by: guruhl (IP Logged)
Date: August 2, 2013 04:12PM
Illumina, Inc. (ILMN) is the leading manufacturer of instruments and consumables used by scientists engaged in researching applications for 'next generation' DNA sequencing. Illumina's products have been at the forefront of huge recent advances in technology that have brought the cost of sequencing a human genome from roughly $1 billion 23 years ago, when the Human Genome Project was launched, to $3,000 today (and still declining rapidly). The company reported quarterly revenue and earnings growth ahead of Wall Street estimates, driven by strength across its entire product portfolio.We believe these results were driven by both growing end markets and market share gains, which may have accelerated after the company's main competitor announced it was considering selling itself.
From the Baron Funds' second quarter 2013 commentary.
