< Vi
Champion | Background | Strategy | Skins & Trivia |
Skill Usage
- A fully-charged Vault Breaker will deal twice as much damage as an uncharged one. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
- You can use Flash while charging Vault Breaker. If timed well, you can even Flash in mid-air. Use this combo to surprise fleeing enemies.
- Using a fully-charged Vault Breaker followed by Excessive Force is an extremely effective way to clear entire minion waves.
- Excessive Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to harass enemy champions behind them or to safely last hit minions.
- It will deal its damage in a 600 range cone behind Vi's target.
- However, be careful when using Excessive Force to harras your lane opponent, as Vi's mana pool will be quickly drained.
- Assault and Battery is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.
- Vi will knock aside enemies on the way to her target.
- Vi is immune to crowd control during her charge, but can still be targeted and killed.
- Assault and Battery can be used to dash to enemy champions through walls. Use this to your advantage when planning a gank.
- Vi fits the role of bruiser very well and should be played as a semi-tank. Abusing your Vault Breaker would be a good harassing strategy as it closes the gap between you and your enemies. Be careful about using this ability as Vi has no other escape mechanisms once Vault Breaker is on cooldown.
- Because Assault and Battery does 75% of the ability's damage to enemies between Vi and her target and knocks them aside, try to hit as many champions on the way to the target as possible.
- Vault Breaker can be used to dash over almost any wall in the jungle. You can dash over walls to gank unsuspecting players, or, with some right warding, easily catch the enemy jungler off guard. Using Vault Breaker will also allow Vi to reach her jungle camps faster.
- Assault and Battery will place Vi behind the target enemy. Follow up with a quick Vault Breaker to knock the enemy back into your team.
- Excessive Force can deal a great amounts of damage in the early game and damage enemy champions from a safe distance and even drive them out of lane.
- Excessive use of Excessive Force can lead to a mana starvation.
- Using Excessive Force at the right angle can give you a kill when an enemy champion is behind your target.
- Excessive Force can help you destroy turrets faster as it resets your auto attack timer.
Item Usage
As Vi is best built as an attack damage bruiser or off-tank, one should purchase both offensive and defensive items. Items that provide a mixture of both offensive and defensive stats, are most often good choices for Vi.
- Vi can benefit from a wide selection of boots.
- Mercury's Treads and Ninja Tabi are viable choices for obvious reasons; both offer resistances and either cc reduction or reduced damage from auto attacks.
- Berserker's Greaves offer Vi relatively cheap attack speed, which allows her to stack Denting Blows faster, which further augments her attack speed.
- Ionian Boots of Lucidity offer cooldown reduction, allowing Vi to use abilities more often, while also making Excessive Force charge faster.
- Boots of Swiftness are especially useful on Vi for reducing the slow on Vault Breaker by 25%.
- If going jungle or mid, Vi can also use Boots of Mobility. This allow her to travel the map extremely fast.
- The proc from Sheen goes well together with Excessive Force, so it is advised to build either Iceborn Gauntlet or Trinity Force.
- Trinity Force is a more offensive choice here, as it also gives attack damage, attack speed and critical strike chance. The movement speed increase and Phage proc also make chasing easier.
- Iceborn Gauntlet is more defensive, as it offers a large quantity armor. The area damage from the proc, combined with Excessive Force causes massive AoE damage. This is more recommended against heavy AD team. Cooldown reduction and the Movement Speed Slow passive both improve Vi's Excessive Force usage frequency and damage dramatically.
- As Vi's Blast Shield scales with 10% of her maximum HP number, an effect similar to Nautilus' Titan's Wrath shield. As a result, it is best to shy away from pure armor or magic resist items on Vi, and instead choose items which grant a substantial amount of bonus HP as well as a resistance stat. Flat Health Quintessences are a viable option in lane or in jungle for further early durability.
- Warmog's Armor, Frozen Mallet and Overlord's Bloodmail offer large quantities of health for relatively low prices, but lack boosts to resistance stats.
- Items like Aegis of the Legion, Sunfire Cape, Randuin's Omen and Banshee's Veil all offer significant health boosts, while also giving substantial resistance stat boosts. All of these items are appropriate choices for Vi when building as a durable jungler or solo laner.
- The Black Cleaver has great synergy with Vi's burst combo, allowing her to apply a full set of stacks with Excessive Force and Denting Blows. It also greatly synergizes with Denting Blows's armor reduction, reducing the enemies armor by 40% total. This will greatly improve both your damage, and physical damage dealt by your teammates to the target.
- If the rest of the team would not benefit from The Black Cleaver stacks, then note Last Whisper will raise Vi's damage output more with higher % armor penetration.
- Vi has no natural health sustain, so investing in large quantities of damage and lifesteal can form a viable carry build. Both The Bloodthirster and Ravenous Hydra have high attack damage and substantial lifesteal, and are great offensive items for Vi. All lifesteal can synergize with Vi's ability to shred armor, as lifesteal returns HP based on the actual damage dealt to a target after Armor damage reduction has been applied.
- When playing on the Twisted Treeline, a Sanguine Blade can be bought.
- Zeke's Herald can also be purchased in a durability-focused build. Although it provides appreciably less attack damage and lifesteal than other items, it will help to buff allied units and increase your durability through bonus HP stats.
- Items like Maw of Malmortius and Mercurial Scimitar provide a reliable amount of attack damage while also granting a decent amount of magic resistance. The former is recommended for protection against burst, and the latter for protection against crowd control (especially ones which tenacity cannot reduce, such as suppresion).
- Getting some cooldown reduction helps Vi clear jungle camps faster with more Excessive Force charges and gank more frequently with Assault and Battery.
- The Brutalizer is a great early game item. It has moderate attack damage, armor penetration and cooldown reduction.
- More late game options are The Black Cleaver, Zephyr, Youmuu's Ghostblade, Zeke's Herald, and Iceborn Gauntlet .
- The Guardian Angel is a good item for Vi's aggressive playstyle, as it will allow you to die once in a team fight. As Vi is a great initiator, she's likely to be focused down quite fast. Getting a Guardian Angel will allow you get back in the fight.
- Vi is an attack damage caster but items that grant increased attack speed will greatly improve her effectiveness moreso than most other attack damage casters because Denting Blows will proc faster and Vi's overall damage will increase.
- Zephyr can function on Vi when not building Mercury's Treads. The Zephyr offers Tenacity, attack damage, cooldown reduction, attack speed, and more movement speed to chase targets.
- Blade of the Ruined King is a good item on Vi. She can deal a surprising amount of anti-tank burst damage with its active after triggering Denting Blows's passive in a combo.
- Wit's End is a great item for attack speed, as it also provides magic resist and a decent on-hit effect.
- Since Vi has two auto-attack timer resets with Excessive Force, Vi functions well with on-hit effects, as she can proc the same effect 4 times in one combo.
- Blade of the Ruined King and Wit's End's on-hit effects tack on damage to her burst combo.
- The Warrior enchantment is the best for Vi, due to the extra damage, and it works well with her ratios.
- Juggernaut is not recommended. Even though it makes Vi tankier, she needs the extra damage from the Warrior enchantment as she is more of a fighter than a tank. Plus, it slows Vi's clear speeds. However, this enchantment can be used if Vi is being constantly counterjungled and is behind, or if your team has no other champion who can effectively build tanky.
- Keep in mind that unlike the former jungling item Spirit of the Ancient Golem, the Juggernaught enchantment does offer tenacity. This allows Vi to use boots other than Mercury's Treads, which can improve her jungling ability.
- Juggernaut is not recommended. Even though it makes Vi tankier, she needs the extra damage from the Warrior enchantment as she is more of a fighter than a tank. Plus, it slows Vi's clear speeds. However, this enchantment can be used if Vi is being constantly counterjungled and is behind, or if your team has no other champion who can effectively build tanky.
Recommended builds
- Vi relies heavily on crowd control to win 1v1 fights or 3v3 fights. She can easily disrupt enemy lines with her ult, and this will give her teammates enough time to back her up. Scattering is a good way to prevent Vi from knocking you aside or dealing massive damage with Excessive Force.
- Since Vi has no other natural way of sticking to enemies after she has used Assault and Battery and Vault Breaker, save your crowd controls or escapes until after she has consumed these abilities, especially since Assault and Battery makes her immune to crowd controls as it is being cast.
- As Vi is a powerful bruiser, making sure to pin her down and not letting her get the core items she needs would give you an advantage against her team as she would be too soft to initiate and her damage output would be very low.
- Not letting Vi proc Denting Blows is crucial for lane control and poke, so watching out and avoiding a Vault Break can often decide the fate of a skirmish (being CC, a Denting Blows stack and gap closer).
- Early game Vi can easily be pushed out of lane by controlling her shield procs and attacking after it expires if she uses Excessive Force to farm.
- As a jungler, one of Vi's biggest strengths is her ability to win 1v1 duels thanks to her Blast Shield and her ability to punish tank junglers with her Denting Blows. Therefore, avoid playing tank based junglers like Volibear, Amumu, and Rammus.
- Assault and Battery can actually be countered by becoming untargetable before the ultimate hits. Champions who have abilities that can make themselves untargetable are thus, good options to use against Vi. Examples include Fizz with his Playful/ Trickster, Vladimir with his Sanguine Pool, and Master Yi with his Alpha Strike (this latter requires nearby enemy targets). Zhonya's Hourglass can also make a champion untargetable, and thus is a great option for any AP champion, to counter Vi's ultimate.
- In addition, Assault and Battery is countered by spellshields such as Banshee's Veil and Morgana's Black Shield.
- Keep in mind that Quicksilver Sash will NOT prevent your champion from being knocked up by Assault and Battery.

Excellent, AP Physics, where is the Computer Programming being taught? Highschool or Middle School?
a resident of Waverly Park
on Aug 25, 2011 at 3:27 pm
Middle school has a great new class - called Math Support (or Language Art support) to help the students have some small group help from a teacher without extra homework.
What great "out of the box" thinking!
a resident of Blossom Valley

The AP Physics courses are a step in the right direction, but even more useful would be self-directed research... too much focus on preparing for college by getting credits for college. Preparing for college should also include self-paced work without nightly homework, but rather broad, yet challenging goals. Does something like this exist in MVLA?
Computer programming? I remember learning Applesoft II BASIC in 1980 in 4th grade... First programming class in high school (PASCAL). Been a LONG time since I used either of those! My experience has been that too much focus is typically placed on the dialect (programming language) rather than the foundational concepts of computing (e.g. finite state machines) and programming in general (e.g OO, procedural and functional programming).
Glad to see they are emphasizing science/tech, hope that is not the extent of the offerings though.
a resident of Whisman Station
on Aug 26, 2011 at 6:31 am
I think they should teach Computer Programming like writing, it's like they taught everyone to read, but no writing. Everyone should have some basic programming skills, Scratch in Elementary, Alice in Middle, Java and AP CS in High School.

Why bother with computer programming? Programming in the future will be done on programming farms in India and China. More emphasis on science and engineering other than programming is the side I come down on.

Why aren't all the novels written in India and China?

Because editors aren't as good as compilers?

The state of Kentucky sits restless with excitement—not because Christmas is on the horizon, but out of anticipation for a basketball game. Saturday, December 27, is going to be a clash of titans. Unbeaten Kentucky takes on unbeaten Louisville. Here are some pregame notes on one of the biggest games in the history of the Kentucky-Louisville series.
Historical significance
-This is the 48th Kentucky-Louisville game. Kentucky leads the series, 32-15
– 15th time that both teams are ranked heading into the game (13th in the regular season)
– 5th time that both teams are ranked in the top 10 heading into the game
-1st time that both teams are unbeaten heading into game
-In his tenure at Kentucky, John Calipari is 6-1 versus Rick Pitino and Louisville
-If Louisville WINS its next 1062 games, it will still have a LOWER all-time win percentage than UK.
-If Louisville WINS its next 250 games and UK LOSES its next 250 games, Louisville will still have a LOWER all-time win percentage than UK.
Current standing
– Kentucky and Louisville are among the best defensive teams in the country. Kentucky ranks second nationally in scoring defense (47.7 ppg) while Louisville ranks eighth (54.3 ppg).
-Both teams are good rebounding teams. Louisville and Kentucky rank 9th and 10th, respectively in rebound margin.
-Both teams have had their fair share of blowouts. Kentucky has won all 12 games by double digits, while Louisville has won 10 of 11 by double digits. Kentucky ranks first nationally in scoring margin (29.1 ppg); Louisville ranks seventh (22.7 ppg).
-Neither squad is a good shooting team. Kentucky shoots 31.4% from 3-point land, while Louisville shoots a dismal 27.5%. Despite this poor shooting, Louisville jacks up more than 20 threes per game, while Kentucky shoots about 17 per game.
-Kentucky gets the bulk of its buckets in the paint. Louisville generates much of its scoring from Montrezl Harrell dunks and a full court press that forces turnovers.
What to expect
-Lots of fouls. In their last seven matchups, Kentucky and Louisville have combined to average 42.3 fouls per game. Neither team averages more than 18. Due to the intense nature of a rivalry game and the physical styles of play that both teams use, plenty of fouls can be expected.
-Low field goal percentages. High-foul games tend to have poor shooting performances; it's hard for either team to find rhythm when the game is interrupted by so many fouls.
-Balanced scoring attack from Kentucky. UK has seven players averaging at least 7.7 points per game (and nine players averaging at least 10 points per 40 minutes).
-Louisville shooting consolidated to four guys. Louisville has four players averaging at least 12 points per game. After that is a drop-off. Their fifth-leading scorer accumulates less than 5 ppg.
Advantages and Disadvantages for each team.
-YUM Center- Louisville has only lost two home games to nonconference opponents since the YUM Center opened (fun fact: those two teams are Kentucky and Drexel). Their home court advantage is BIG.
-UK plays a near impenetrable half-court man defense. Opponents are most likely to score against the Wildcats if they make deep threes and get some fast break opportunities
-Louisville plays a physical, pesky, incredibly effective full court press. Once the ball reaches the free throw line, they switch into some quasi 1-3-1 trap zone. Good, disciplined teams can score somewhat effectively against Louisville if they get the ball up the court.
-If and when foul trouble comes into play, Kentucky has the advantage. They are deeper than Louisville with 11 healthy players who can provide valuable minutes at any time.
-A game with a lot of fouls also provides an advantage for Louisville. Kentucky relies more on half-court offense than Louisville. A game with no rhythm will hurt Kentucky's shooting more than Louisville's, who will get more points off of turnovers and transition offense.
-Louisville has less room for error. The Cardinals have just four scoring threats. If one or two of them have a poor shooting performance, get hurt, get in foul trouble, or punch a UK player, the Cards are in trouble. If one or two UK players don't show up, they have roughly 8 other guys who can score points and maintain the defense that has propelled the Wildcats all season.
As for predictions, I will let the fans and media speculate on that. If you have any comments, leave them here or tweet to @UK_CatFacts.

"Where East Meets West: Alternative Medicine in the 21st Century" is the topic to be presented Friday, March 5, at the Hales Corners Woman's Club meeting.
The program will be given by Sherris Corby, Practice Manager at The Ommani Center for Integrative Medicine, at 1 p.m. in the Ben Hunt Room at the Hales Corners Library. Prospective members and other interested persons in the community are welcome to attend.
Sherris Corby became interested in the benefits of integrative healthcare thirty years ago when she was a student at Marquette University. After graduating, she worked as a corporate consultant in fringe benefits and risk management for many years, later pursuing her Master's certificate in Waldorf education from Sunbridge College at Spring Valley, NY. She went on to teach in an alternative 'healing' based, art and music pedagogy.
Since 2006 Ms. Corby began working as practice manager for The Ommani Center for Integrative Medicine where she currently enjoys assisting and educating patients about the values of blending allopathic and complementary medicine.
At the meeting on Friday, Ms. Corby will discuss the various forms of alternative medicine which are rapidly gaining acceptance in this country.
For questions about the program or Hales Corners Woman's Club, call 414-425-4066.

For the Early Phonemic Speller
Early phonemic spellers may be kindergarteners or even precocious preschoolers; normally they are children in the first half of first grade.
Early phonemic spellers have discovered that written messages consist of exact recorded words. The words are recorded by their sounds, by their phonemes. Children at this stage know several letters, and are beginning to realize that spelling can work by matching target sounds with letter-names that sound like them.
Early phonemic spellers are limited by an unstable concept of word—a limited ability to think of words as units of language, or to manipulate them in the ways necessary to spell them inventively. They also have difficulty with phonemic segmentation—the ability to break a word down into its constituent sounds so that the sounds can be spelled. Further, early phonemic spellers may not recognize or know how to make all of the letters.
Instructional goals for these children include the same general goals as for the prephonemic spellers. We should continue to surround them with print. We should read to them and encourage them to identify particular books that they enjoy, that they can learn by heart and recite while they turn the pages. Also, we should continue to have them experiment with writing by giving them plenty of opportunities to put down what they can by way of spelling out words.
We have some more specific goals for early phonemic spellers, too. One is to encourage them to develop a stable concept of what a word is. The way to do that is to call the children's attention to words in print as we—or they—are saying words out loud. James Moffett has a procedure for this, which he calls the Lap Method.5 You hold a child on your lap, read to her a book with which she is very familiar, and point to each word in the text as you read it aloud. Gradually, you can get the child to try to point to words as you read them, and read words as you point to them. But the goal is to direct the child's attention to a written word at exactly the instant that the word is being read aloud. With this kind of support, the information that links a printed word with a spoken word is brought into focus for the child. Aspects of this information are things like: a word in print is a configuration of letters bound by spaces on both ends; words are arranged from left to right; more than one syllable may be a single word; and individual letters may resemble individual sounds heard in words.
There are several successful variations of the Lap Method. One is done with a poem or a song that the child has memorized. The teacher and the child sit down with a written version of the poem or song, which is ideally four to six lines in length. They read each line chorally, as the teacher points to each word. Then the teacher points to a single word and asks the child what it is. The teacher points to the first word in the line, then the last, then one in the middle. It is not likely that the child will be able to recognize the words pointed to. Instead she will have to recite the line to herself and guess what each word must be by its order in the written line. This gets her thinking about words as units of writing and gives her practice matching a word in her head with one in print.6
Taking dictated experience stories, a part of the language-experience approach to reading and language arts instruction, also helps develop the concept of words in print. Dictated accounts are done either with individuals or in groups. After the children have undergone an interesting episode—perhaps an encounter with baby rabbits or a field trip to the post office—each, child is invited to dictate one sentence to the teacher as part of a group composition. A number of reading activities usually follow the dictation: The group reads all the sentences chorally several times; individuals volunteer to read words or sentences; the teacher points to a word in the line and asks a child to read it. In cases where the child knows by heart what the line says but cannot recognize the word, he is likely to work his way through the line, matching memorized words with units of print until he makes a match with the word in question.
The shared book method, as developed by Don Holdaway in New Zealand7 is nicely suited to helping young readers and writers learn about the relationships between print and speech. Holdaway's method uses big books, yard-high versions of children's books that are read in the children's presence by the teacher, who uses a pointer to touch each word as she reads. After several passes through the big book in the group setting, the children are handed standard-size versions of the book to read on their own. Holdaway and his colleagues began by creating their own big books out of whatever books were likely to be favorites with their particular children. Following their lead, commercial publishers now offer printed versions of big books for sale.
Many early phonemic spellers write their own names correctly, as well as the names of their friends, brothers, and sisters. Names can be used in learning activities to establish the concept of word. Write the child's name several times on a strip of paper without leaving any spaces between the words. Then ask the child to help you separate the names. The child spells her name first, pointing to each letter. When she comes to the end of one spelling, she cuts the name apart from the one that follows. When she has cut the names apart, she may paste them on another piece of paper, leaving spaces between them.
A similar procedure, involving whole sentences, is suggested by Marie Clay.8 Have the child dictate a sentence to you, write it down, and read it back to him. Then read the sentence with him until he can read the sentence by himself. As you read the sentence each time, point to the words. When the child is able to read the sentence by himself (he is able to do this by memorizing, of course, not by actual reading), write the sentence a second time on a strip of paper. Now cut the words off the strip, one at a time, reading the sentence aloud minus the severed word each time. As a next step, the child can match the cut apart words with those in the sentence that was left intact. A fairly easy task is for the child to arrange the cut apart words on top of the words to which they are matched. A more difficult exercise is to arrange the words into a sentence several inches below the sentence left intact.
Emily devised a similar activity when she was not quite four. She put pieces of thin paper on the covers of her favorite books and traced the titles.
Another specific instructional goal we have for children who are early phonemic spellers is that they grow in their ability to segment spoken words into individual phonemes. The most natural practice is to continue to spell the parts of the words of which they are more certain. Thus, their spellings may look like this at first: I W _T D_N _E P __ ("l walked down the path"). But in time, there will be fewer blanks left and more letters filled in as children gain practice in segmenting phonemes.
The final instructional goal we have for early phonemic spellers is that they be more willing to take risks. We have seen abundant evidence that making errors is a necessary part of learning to spell. We want children to pay attention to the print around them and see how it is put together and. how it works. But we want just as much for them to produce their own writing, in which they try out spelling the way they think it is. We want them to formulate ideas about written language and act on them; then they will know what to do with the information they gain from examining other people's written language.
Unless children take risks and unless they are willing to make errors, their progress as spellers will be slow and inhibited, and their delight in making their own messages in print will be small. Children who are willing to invent spelling for words usually become correct spellers in a reasonably short time—and they also become fluent writers in the process.
Whether or not a child is a risk taker depends on a number of factors—his personality, the expectations of his parents, and the atmosphere of his classroom all contribute. There are several steps the teacher can take to help a child gain self-confidence and take risks.
Talk to the children and praise them for what they know about writing. If some children have discovered that writing goes left to right across a page, they may be congratulated for this discovery. If some have discovered that words have letters in them, and that the letters are mixed, this is something that the teacher can discuss with them. And if some have discovered that words are spelled by matching letters with individual sounds, this is a realization worthy of an adult's attention. Having an adult express interest in these issues as the children investigate them adds to the children's sense of accomplishment and reassures them that their efforts are worthwhile.
Parents and teachers should both understand the value of encouragement, practice, and freedom to make errors in learning to spell. If the teacher encourages invented spelling at school but does not share her position with the parents, confusion may result. Parents may be alarmed that children bring home papers with uncorrected spelling errors, or that children enthusiastically produce writing with spelling errors at home. Unless the teacher enlists the parents' understanding and support, they are likely to say discouraging things to their children, with the best of intentions. They may even question whether the teacher is doing her job, mistakenly equating the teacher's encouragement of early writing and invented spelling with a lax attitude that leaves errors uncorrected.
For the Letter-Name Speller
Children who produce letter-name spelling have developed a system of spelling that can be read by others who understand the system. Letter-name spelling represents the high-water mark of children's intuitive spelling development, and their spellings during this period are their most original. From this point on, children will become increasingly aware of the details of standard spelling, and their spelling will grow closer to that of adults.
Most children become letter-name spellers by Thanksgiving in first grade. Some begin sooner, and several may wait until late first grade to start using the letter-name strategy. Letter-name spellings will persist into second grade, though most second graders will use transitional strategies, especially in the second half of the year.
The insights letter-name spellers have about written language are the same ones needed to begin to read. And of course with more reading practice, these children will learn more and more features of standard spelling, until their spelling becomes transitional.
By now their concept of a word in print is beginning to stabilize, but exercises to develop this concept still further will continue to be helpful—both for their spelling and for their reading. Their ability to separate individual phonemes out of words has become highly productive. What they do not yet know is all the business on the other side of the letter-to-sound representation issue. They are just beginning to explore the rules by which letters represent phonemes.
They can find the phonemes, but so far their ideas of how these phonemes should be spelled stick closely to the names of the letters. They use letter-names as if they themselves were pieces of sound—building blocks out of which words can be constructed. They have not yet realized the complex rules for choosing letters to represent words.
If the disparity between their system and the complexity of standard spelling is pointed out to them too suddenly or too harshly, many children will lose confidence. If this happens, their progress into standard spelling will be delayed because they will not experiment with new forms enthusiastically. The greatest amount of progress may be gained if children at this stage are encouraged to continue writing—indeed, if they are given a steady agenda of interesting writing tasks. Their writing can be taken seriously for the sake of its message. The teacher or parents can talk about what the child wrote and not just her spelling—focusing on the message is likely to be more motivating than dwelling on the spelling.
If the letter-name speller is exposed to a good supply of interesting print, this should provide him with data from which he can, at his own pace, draw new conclusions about spelling. We should continue to read to him. We should continue to help him find favorite books, read them to him frequently, and encourage him to read them to himself. Read-along books can be highly beneficial at this stage, both for reading and for writing. Language-experience teaching—dictated stories that are reread together—bears even more fruit at this stage, both in the children's ease at finding words by the voice-to-print matching method and in the number of words the children can learn to recognize after a dictated story. They will now recognize words in the story days after they were dictated, a feat they could not do before.
Having children build a word bank—a collection of word cards for the words they recognized during the reading of a dictated story—is good practice. It's a good idea to check each child's word bank occasionally and see if she can still read all the words in her word bank. Any words that she cannot read should be taken out, placed in a separate envelope, and reviewed at a later time. The children can be encouraged to use their word bank cards when they are writing because they are always spelled correctly, and so constitute a source of correct spellings.
To help children sound out words and spell with more confidence, use a group brainstorming procedure. Choose an interesting word to spell and ask the students to help you spell it. Ask the students which sound they hear first. Then ask students to offer a letter to spell it. Discuss whether the letter makes sense or not. Then ask students to name the next sound they hear and suggest a letter to spell it.
Note that our goal is to have children hear sounds in words and match letters with them. We will accept reasonable guesses, even if they are not the correct spelling of the word, because we are trying to encourage the children to use invented (or temporary) spelling. Correctness will come later.
How do we describe this spelling to children? We like Elizabeth Sulzby's advice. If the children come up with ANEML, we say, "This is the way many children spell' animal''' (or whatever word they are spelling)'. We go on to make it clear that adults spell the word a little differently and they will learn that adult spelling later.
Should we teach correct spelling to children at this stage? These are several considerations here. If we do teach them correct spelling, we must be careful not to undermine their willingness to write words the way they sound. The spirit of discovery is valuable for their learning; and besides, the act of inventing spellings actually helps children learn features of the sounds and writing system of English that will help them both in their spelling and even in their reading for some time to come.
By the second half of first grade, it may be advisable to make a "door dictionary"; that is, write frequently used words on gummed note papers and post them on the back of the classroom door or filing cabinet. Children may peel a needed word off the door, take it back to the desk to copy, and return it to the door. Alternatively, you may encourage children to make a personal spelling dictionary: a notepad with frequently used words in it, spelled correctly.
In the second half of first grade, you may safely require children to memorize a short list of words per week: five or six words, we would say. We prefer to group these words by phonogram pattern, especially those patterns to which we are calling the children's attention in their reading. (A phonogram pattern is a vowel and consonant combination. It is usually what is left over when we remove the beginning element from a word: the phonogram at, for example, is found in "that," "cat," and "rat.") You or the children may wish to add other frequently asked for words: "of," "love," "have," and so on. In the next section we describe several recommended procedures for having children study words.
Care must be taken, however, not to limit the children's writing to the words on the spelling lists or in the spelling dictionaries. It would be sad, indeed, if a preoccupation with these correctly spelled words undermined their confidence in their ability to think out spellings for themselves. Their willingness to try spelling on their own is necessary for them to move beyond memorization and learn the system of English spelling.

So...recently we have received a bit of closure...spring 2013, hopefully the wold exists after 12/21/12... I am excited to receive information of gta v; I was thinking, pondering of possibilities. as a post-modern game...in a post-game franchise... I just hope that GTA can provide a realistic soundtrack to my motto of dis contempt. the amazement of the gta series began with vice city...placing us in the 80's. the self-pleasure of San Andreas gave us an UN-appologetic kick in the nuts to the plight of the black male...as well as scores of hard rock gen-x favorites...I just wish for gta5 to have a pertain-ant soundtrack that can create a hypo-cultural identity for the character...it cant be easy, sanandreas was a sub-pop expose...where as, gtav to the best of my knowledge is...the deal is. Is there anything great to ad to our drive-time commute...A radio station , a song...or a glimpse into humanity, that one might like to hear.
well if its set in modern days... which i assume it is.. I would like to see 2 radio stations for each style of music.. classic rock, alt rock/new rock, hiphop, rap, country, for me i would only listen to the Classic rock and newrock... but they need to cater to everyone. and have a custom station but have the commercials and dj like the others stations would...
Im just gonna say that i think the music played on LCHC isnt very good IMO. To my ears, it just sounds like yelling. I wouldnt miss it lol.
i think it is complete and utter garbage as well.. but i think that of Rap and hiphop also... but i don't think any of them should be cut....
ok, I cant take it anymore. Posters like you are the reason why I cant stay long on gaming message boards. ALWAYS, ALWAYS want to start an argument. I obviously dont like LCHC. I think its terrible. No s*** I can tune it off (see gif in which I thought you would get it and hoping it would end there...) but my opinion is that is shouldn't be included. Yes I think it is that terrible. Its just my opinion. Nice day.
I didnt say it should be cut. Im saying if it was.....and im not saying it should....but if it was........and im not saying it will be....but if it was, i wouldnt care one bit.
jeez... calm down.... I wasn't trying to start an argument just wanted a reason... and i 100% agree that the music sucks.. and wouldn't care that it was cut.... just think there should be a good variety of music for all...
sorry.. I'm sorta slow, i just assume you were the other guy in the thread saying ti should be gone....
I think it'd be cool if they actually kept some of the old radio stations from SA like WCTR or K-Rose etc etc, but add some new ones in too. I think they should definitely have more than one talk show! And vary it a bit. GTA IV had THREE talk radio stations and even expanded them in the DLC but it all got old fast. WCTR was great, it had heaps of stuff and it changed every so often too, it only really got boring if you were stuck in a certain part of the game for a while or once you'd finished the story missions. But yeah, I think 2 of each genre like someone else already said. that'd be good and cater to all. I also really want them to introduce the ability to play your own music, or maybe even like in the Scarface game, be able to use the in game money to buy new songs. Idk, just a thought.
biebs...doubtful...i doubt his record label would want him affiliated with GTA. I definitely agree that there will be a dub-step station... I've been thinking it would be cool if there were themed stations like in the dlc's like 'vice city radio' with 80's hits. or some type of NPR style classical station with with really soft-spoken monotone voice action. what if there were adaptive radio stations that updated via xbox live...occasionally playing a new song or new commentary of some sort.
GTA3, VC, and SA all had fantastic playlists. GTA3 had lots of original stuff, the scarface soundtrack, and some good techno. VC had a fantastic 80's vibe, and SA had an outstanding mix of 90's rock, alternative, rap, and classic rock. GTA4 stunk because it was too much like normal, everyday radio. There was no theme to it and no originality. It was just so vanilla. I am hoping that GTA5 has a theme to it and is not just another emulation of normal radio.
Like Awarry, who made the only sensible post in the first 15 posts. They should have stations that cater to everyones tastes. Even though there was only one song I liked in GTA IV (Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath, annoyingly enough it was taken out in online play). I still enjoyed listening to LCHC and LRR online, LCHC especially in races. The only reason I never play True Crime Streets of LA any more is because the soundtrack was awful. The game wasn't that good. But after completely Streets of New York City I wanted to complete that one aswell. (TC: SNY good Soundtrack because it had White Zombie and "Last Caress" by a band whos name I forget).
Eh, doesn't really matter to me since I almost never even listen to the radio. Although a good variety would always be welcoming.
yeah i doubt Beibers music will be there... but you can almost guarantee there will be some form of made up Bieber celebrity in the game
L.C.H.C. is badass. Fuck your opinions. Also, since it's modern times Cali, there should deffo be some Kendrick lamar, OF, etc on the hip-hop stations. Aaaaaand that's all I really care about. I know they won't have my other favorite songs on it. -prays for Mastodon- Edit: I probably wouldn't mind 2 Chainz lol. The new A7X is iff though.
I have faith that the radio will be good. IV had some good stations, and the talk radio wasn't bad either but it all got old fast, that's all V needs to improve on, imo. Remember, they can please all of us some of the time and they can please some of us all the time, they can't please all of us all the time, so if theres no music you like in the game, I'd say you are in the minority (just wanna put it out there that most of the music in III sucked for me, ended up listening to chatterbox, double cleff fm, and the station that played the scarface soundtrack lol)
What would be neat is if you can call in to a radio station at certain periods and request a song in their track selection.
The only radio station I *used* to listen to in IV was Vladivostock haha, it actually had some good music even if I couldn't understand it, and it seemed fitting for the Serbian Niko to roll around listening to it, performing various hits in his suit and tie, and black loafers Now I don't listen to it, I just don't pay attention to whats playing haha, I am usually too busy concentrating on driving at high speeds anyway
I usually listened to Liberty Rock Radio, and the talk shows, but the talk shows seemed to run out of material real fast so I usually went for LRR or just turned it off
Wow this thread has been inactive for almost a month! Anyways, what do you guys think of the idea of being able to download additional radio content, kind of like how you can download songs for games like Guitar Hero? I think that'd be cool. I wish they did that with IV, because I really wanted the Vice City radio station that they have, but I unfortunately have the download version of The Episodes
How is anyone supposed to know that yet? And in IV, I think you could listen to your own music in the PC version, but you couldn't on the ps3 version. Why? Just because, R* didn't see fit to do it
Nah it's only available on the disc version Well technically speaking nothing is available to me right now thanks to YLOD...
I dunno, it doesnt really make sense. Yeah it's an old fatboy that i've had since 2008..I guess it has lasted pretty well in all honesty lol
No radio station should be removed because some people don't like it. That's the dumbest thing I have heard. I would like to have country music banned from the other but tons of people love it. But since I hate it it should definitely not be in the game! Anyway on topic.. I hope they add a ton of variety. It'll probably be a good mix because it is in Los Santos. I still like the soundtrack from San Andreas.
but nonetheless its a good station. I hate rap and I don't think they should be abandoned because I dont like it. Anyway to answer the question, I think these stations would do well Classic Rock Punk/Pop Punk/Alternative Country Rap/Hip Hop Talk Radio Club Music
There are many other things about the game known so maybe that had been announced and I missed it. I hope they saw a very good fit for not having it in the last gen because the majority of people hated the radio available and wanted to turn it off which you couldn't. How is a person suppose to play the game with a radio they cannot enjoy?
I think little details like that won't come to light until release tbh. I personally liked the radio in GTA IV BUT I think it (especially all the talk shows and ads) got old pretty fast as it's such a long game and the radio content (other than the news) wasn't dynamic like it was in san Andreas
Country was probably my favorite station in SA, California has a lot of southern transplants so it fits right in. And how can you hate this song?
I'd like more well known tracks, from more globally famous artists in V in IV i hardly knew any of the artists on the radio (excluding DLC which was better)
I knew pretty much every artist who was on Liberty Rock Radio (in the original and the DLC) but yeah, I don't think I knew ANY of the other artists or songs on any of the other radio stations.

Moodle is a powerful LMS, there can be no doubt. Regardless of all it can do, however, there are times when you want a student to do something completely different and yet continue to use Moodle as your interface. When those situations arise, you can turn to the features of the SCORM package to make this possible.

If I was carrying the CS fans (or rotors) you would be there first claim what an amp hog it is. So don't play the efficiency game or attempt to convince me otherwise.
Folks like em 'cause thier cheap and have a nice sound, but spend countless hours and additional dollars find low kv motors and other parts to make them run halfway decent. |

Hmmm.....De ja vu ?
This is shades of the Skyworld 8 Blade rotor from a few years back. Same thing, only back then you were ridiculed for wanting a fan with a nice "whoosh". Yeah remember that. Now we want great sound and great performance. |

efflux RC,
Gary, you can spin TJ70 to new all time high power levels and then ask him why his 1400 motors can not reach that high or use too much power for however high RPM they can get. Compare 1400 statistics to 22/XE I'm serious if he does not stop yapping, you can do just that.....Don't be a chicken Gary. If he keeps yapping and if you chicken out, I'll find someone and Tam will still have to do his double talk again. _________________ Everyone wants more and more power.....and when someone's motor can not deliver the power: They then start yapping about efficiency and then it becomes salesmanship and repeating and getting others to repeat: "That is what you all need." ___________________ Tam, You should have zero opinions about someone wanting to go faster...ofcourse it takes more power. It is not a linear relationship, and closer to cubic. How and why did you get involved? Who asked you? 2400W? sure, go grab 2500W off the chart. Take your personal fight with Gary off the threads (all of them).... Leave creative people to do their own findings instead of what is best to put money in your pocket. The advertising and sales tactics across the threads have been over the top now for some time. Don't bug in other people's projects till you are asked for help or advice. If you think you are doing it in a nice way, you are wrong. Gryphon |

I share my opinion about power balance with weight. Never mind. I'm not selling Mega or push NeuMotor on this subject. Just happen the BL32 2150KV motor work so well with CS 70 rotor. This motor is available at LHS for $75 and most already had in their from stock set Habu 32. |
Apr 26, 2012, 06:34 AM | |
Sorry but I cannot agree on this efficiency spin at all. The CS10 rotor is light years ahead of the skyworld rotor, its just not in the same league. I had the chance to run the skyworld back to back with a wemo a long time ago, and decided not to bother with it. Yes it sounded nice, but the wemo could sound great too with the right setup.
The CS10 on the other hand is very close to the wemo in performance on 4s, only a few grams behind the wemo for the same wattage input, and on 6s its matching the wemo. Setting it up is simple, choose the correct motor and watch it perform. As for sound, its without doubt the best thing in 70mm rotors we have ever had, nothing that has come before it can compare. |
Apr 26, 2012, 08:00 AM | ||
FWIW, the Skyworld was one of the more efficient designs I tested. It bugs me to think of the potential market Stu is losing. Sorry for the distraction guys! I had to say it. Terry P.S.- I was one of the first to test it and suggest using the E-Flite BL32. |
Apr 26, 2012, 09:08 AM | |
That's funny. I don't recall Stu ever making a 10 blade 70.
Or am I to believe you're suggesting that anyone who comes close to a Wemo but makes it counter rotating or a 6 blade, Wemo should still get credit? There have been many things that one person/party discovers but just never brought it to market and so someone else does and gets the credit for following through. But that you did exRacr. The BL32/Delta 70 and the CS is a good 6S mid to upper range combo and now that both ExtremeRC Mark and it sounds like Tamjets are making 5mm adaptors to fit it, we can all be happy and forget who started the ball rolling other than the name thats stamped on it; CS. |

B-17 in 1943
A mid-air collision on February 1, 1943, between a B-17 and a German fighter over the Tunis dock area, became the subject of one of the most famous photographs of World War II. An enemy fighter attacking a 97th Bomb Group formation went out of control, probably with a wounded pilot then continued its crashing descent into the rear of the fuselage of a Fortress named All American, piloted by Lt. Kendrick R. Bragg, of the 414th Bomb Squadron. When it struck, the fighter broke apart, but left some pieces in the B-17. The left horizontal stabilizer of the Fortress and left elevator were completely torn away. The two right engines were out and one on the left had a serious oil pump leak. The vertical fin and the rudder had been damaged, the fuselage had been cut almost completely through connected only at two small parts of the frame and the radios, electrical and oxygen systems were damaged. There was also a hole in the top that was over 16 feet long and 4 feet wide at its widest and the split in the fuselage went all the way to the top gunners turret.
Although the tail actually bounced and swayed in the wind and twisted when the plane turned and all the control cables were severed, except one single elevator cable still worked, and the aircraft still flew - miraculously! The tail gunner was trapped because there was no floor connecting the tail to the rest of the plane. The waist and tail gunners used parts of the German fighter and their own parachute harnesses in an attempt to keep the tail from ripping off and the two sides of the fuselage from splitting apart. While the crew was trying to keep the bomber from coming apart, the pilot continued on his bomb run and released his bombs over the target.
When the bomb bay doors were opened, the wind turbulence was so great that it blew one of the waist gunners into the broken tail section. It took several minutes and four crew members to pass him ropes from parachutes and haul him back into the forward part of the plane. When they tried to do the same for the tail gunner, the tail began flapping so hard that it began to break off. The weight of the gunner was adding some stability to the tail section, so he went back to his position.
The turn back toward England had to be very slow to keep the tail from twisting off. They actually covered almost 70 miles to make the turn home. The bomber was so badly damaged that it was losing altitude and speed and was soon alone in the sky. For a brief time, two more Me-109 German fighters attacked the All American. Despite the extensive damage, all of the machine gunners were able to respond to these attacks and soon drove off the fighters. The two waist gunners stood up with their heads sticking out through the hole in the top of the fuselage to aim and fire their machine guns. The tail gunner had to shoot in short bursts because the recoil was actually causing the plane to turn.
Allied P-51 fighters intercepted the All American as it crossed over the Channel and took one of the pictures shown. They also radioed to the base describing that the empennage was waving like a fish tail and that the plane would not make it and to send out boats to rescue the crew when they bailed out. The fighters stayed with the Fortress taking hand signals from Lt. Bragg and relaying them to the base. Lt. Bragg signaled that 5 parachutes and the spare had been "used" so five of the crew could not bail out. He made the decision that if they could not bail out safely, then he would stay with the plane and land it.
Two and a half hours after being hit, the aircraft made its final turn to line up with the runway while it was still over 40 miles away. It descended into an emergency landing and a normal roll-out on its landing gear.
When the ambulance pulled alongside, it was waved off because not a single member of the crew had been injured. No one could believe that the aircraft could still fly in such a condition. The Fortress sat placidly until the crew all exited through the door in the fuselage and the tail gunner had climbed down a ladder, at which time the entire rear section of the aircraft collapsed onto the ground. The rugged old bird had done its job.

Seventeen Justice Reinvestment Initiative states are projected to save as much as $4.6 billion through reforms that increase the efficiency of their criminal justice systems. Eight states that had JRI policies in effect for at least one year – Arkansas, Hawaii, Louisiana, Kentucky, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina – reduced their prison populations. Through the Initiative, states receive federal dollars to assess and improve their criminal justice systems while enhancing public safety. This report chronicles 17 states as they enacted comprehensive criminal justice reforms relying on bipartisan and interbranch collaboration. The study notes common factors that drove prison growth and costs and documents how each state responded with targeted policies.

we...i got my ibis white s3 8p facelift brand new 20 months ago...since then i've done 23000km's and i absolute love it... 1) after 1000km's i went to my local tuner to get forge CAI and short shift fitted and even it was still runing in i've noticed a little difference in performance, and the short shift was a nice little mod. had few problems untill it's been sorted nicely. IMHO this car should have short shift from factory... 2) few months after it was time to order new exhaust. Milltek non-res TBE. after that turbo was spooling easier and faster, and the sound has been improved. it's nice and quiet while cruising, but it loud on high revs. and it looks good ... 3) then i've got new black grill... 4)then it has been remaped to 320hp and 450Nm of torque... and soon after that it was time for new revision "D" OEM diverter valve as old one was broken... 5) after that it was getting hot so i've got brand new forge twintercooler...it wasn't straight fit on the facelift but after making few custom pipes it was fited nicely....and all i can say there was a huuuge diference in performance after fiting this especially in 3rd 4th gear!!!! 6) now it was time to sort handling and suspension and few more things on the engine, so i've got whiteline anti lift kit, h&r arbs, and kw v3 coilovers, and forge dv. well i had rev D valve but after fiting forge dv with yellow spring it's holds boost little better. as for arb's and walk i think that this is best upgrade of all i've have done so far. it transforms the car really, there is no more understeer and turning is far more sharp and precise. and you get a little more feeling of the road throught the steering wheel. love it. i think that i should have done it before. as for coilies..only did with them few km's so can't tell much really about them anyway here are few pics of the car with them... first drop as kw suggests... ...and the last one as i wanted it to be lower so now it's lowest on the back, and on the front there is about 0,5-0,8cm's left. i think that it sits now nicely.. back... ...and front... i really like the look with the latest drop. at the end there are few things left to sort out as a catch tank,fuel pump (wich i have), and the clutch as it slipping, and then stage 2+. after that maybe it would be time for new wheels at the end i hope you like it, as much as i do. it's really fun car and with few mods it really becomes something special that doesn't have competition on the road.. thanks for reading
Looks like its going to be a very nice build. Not a big fan of the intake would be worried having that low personally but each to there own
Nice car, are you not worried about the air intake sucking up water and hydrolocking the engine? Would be a huge bill if that happened.
after few hundred miles coilies felt down a little more..love it how it looks but now i have problem with speed bumps about the intake...will change it at some point but for now i don't have any problems with it. hydroshiled is on it all the time, and i don't go out if it's heavy rain, with big potholes althrought one time i got caught on the motorway but had no problems. as long as there isn't water deep enought to cover entire cone i don't think there will be any issues.
Nice thread car man, so you noticed an improvement with the Forge & yellow spring over the rev D valve?
well..there is slightly improvement with it. it goes slightly better. but yesterday i had an itch so i fitted catch tank and noticed that my PCV was probably broken or it wasn't working properly. can't belive. all the time i was thinking it was me who was thinking that the car feels slower as i'm getting used to the car but after fitting catch tank car feels like it's remaped again. there was no error on vcds, or on PCV visualy. so i'm glad i've sorted that now it feels great
it's been a while since the last post, but after getting the wrong lower engine mount (pre facelift) finally the right one arrived. track use lower engine mount for facelift cars
not sure why ive miussed this one either!! looking good S.! so have you changed the engine mouunt because you needed to or just wanted to? and what are the benefits of it? do you need to add the rest of the mounts also?
i'm sick at the moment so i will fit it in a few days. it reduces engine movement, and it makes better gear changes.
Uprating the engine mounts is well worthwhile on heavily uprated engines,but the downside is a lot more noise and vibration. I chose the VWRacing mounts for mine,which are about as hard as you'd accept for both road and track use without actually being solid,and the difference in not having the engine flopping around on it's mounts is very noticeable.
so today i got some time to fit Powerflex lower engine mount (track use-purple one). it's a good little mod, there are little more vibrations present but it's not really a big difference. now the acceleration feels even more, and shifting gears at higer rpm's is a lot easier and more precise. great thing for less than 20â¬.
The lower mount is the most important,although if you intend going further,it's essential to do the upper mounts as well.
it seems that uper mounts on facelifts are a bit harder. but def. if i want to go further will do them too. but for now there are few other bits that i want to sort out.
If you mean lowering the car to the ground......I have to say I agree......I followed a Seat Leon Cupra the other day that had all of the usual bits(Revo stickers,so I assume a remap,plus huge exhaust and so on)but it had also been lowered way too far,and the poor fool driving it could barely stay ahead of my 70hp loaner.
decided to upload again missing pics...don't know why they aren't working...hope they'll work this time. first drop 2nd drop now it's runing with 12mm spacers front without any rubbing (front camber is set -1°30") went back to Forge DV with blue spring and it's better than rev D valve. and in a week or two i'm going to fit ITG maxogen CAI. thinking of some mods to refresh the looks and also will try to make remote hatch pop, and some 19" wheels for the new season.... but my cluch is giving up...so maybe wheels will have to wait. regards
Nice build S. Not sure how I missed this at the start. Pictures still don't work though. Interested to see the pictures with your coilovers and spacers fitted.
don't know why...uploaded pics again, and they work on my computers? it's a bad weather now but will take pics as soon as it gets better.
Most of them work. It's the coilover/suspension set up ones that aren't showing on my computer. Maybe it's me...
jes i am. 12mm front. i had them so i tried to se how it looks and left them, didn't source them for the back because i'm thinking of geting new summer wheels with lower ET. oh and it drives much better with wider track at the front.
Good work, car looks good. Your a braver man than me using a filter in that location, but if you don't sit behind a lorry in the rain you should be ok.....?
thanks, never had any problems with CAI since day one i had hydroshield fitted. think it has to be a deeper water and you'll have to floor it to get the water in the engine. it can happen but i'm careful when it's raining. but in a week i'm getting ITG maxogen CAI so it will be nice, and safe
Those wheels, S, ..YESSS!!! Go for it, Dude, ..you'll have lots of fun keeping them clean, but they look tremendous!!! Can't believe this is the first time I've seen your build thread, love your car and all you've done to it. Keep up the great work! Oh and love your arty pics too, well done!! xxx
thanks a lot Paullie, i'm trying my best well for some things i found inspiration in your thread...if i'll get these wheels gloss black pillars will have to wait but i like them, and i think they would fill the arches nicely.
Yup, those rims would work. They look like they've been photochopped as the BBS cap is mahoosive! (unless its taken with a fish eye lens???)
don't know. didn't try it yet. awsome gti sell modified ones that fit Awesome - Genuine Audi R8 Oil Cap
