I LOVE Highline Ballroom! Im really into music and wanted to find a music-based venue with a good deal. That is why I contacted my friends promoter, Indi Romero, who found this venue for me and my friend. Wana talk about good deals? Indi hooked us up. Free drinks like all night, and we didnt have to wait at the door to get in. This venue is perfect for a night out in the city for a music lover who also enjoys free drinks! Find Indi on FB to have a night as great as mine at Highline!

Fleischmanns — This Memorial Day Weekend, Saturday May 28, Fleischmanns will once again host a village-wide celebration and street fair, with more music and vendors than ever before.
Fleischmanns' Main Street will be filled Saturday with sidewalk vendors and live music in the gazebo. Grownups and kids alike can enjoy old-fashioned horse carriage rides. Over in Wagner Avenue Park, an all-weekend vintage baseball marathon to raise money for the playground will continue throughout the day.
By Jay Braman Jr.
The old Fleischmanns Firehall on Main Street has been declared an unsafe structure.
According to Fleischmanns Code Enforcement Officer Carl Patrick Davis, the owner has six months to make repairs.
Davis told the News Tuesday that the damage was discovered after owner Boyd Walker applied to the MARK Project for a matching grant to rehabilitate the structure. As a part of the grant process, MARK officials had an engineer check the structure out in order to make sure that it was structurally sound and could be rehabilitated.
Fleischmanns — This Memorial Day Weekend, Saturday May 28, Fleischmanns will once again host a village-wide celebration worthy of its festive history as a gateway to summertime fun in the Catskills.
On Saturday, May 28, the entire Main Street will be bustling with vendors and live entertainment, vintage baseball will be swinging away in Wagner Avenue ballpark, Fleischmanns' Museum of Memories will open for the season, and Skene Memorial Library holds its annual book sale. Grownups and kids alike can enjoy old-fashioned horse carriage rides, too.
By Jay Braman Jr.
The fate of the Fleischmanns Theater remains tangled up in the courts.
That is the word from Village Mayor Dave Morell, who with the village's board of trustees took action two years ago to seize ownership of the long-vacant venue after the owners had not paid property taxes for several years.
By Jay Braman Jr.
For the second year in a row, the Fleischmanns Village Budget will not bring any tax increaes for property owners.
"No tax increases…..again" was all Mayor David Morell said proudly at Monday night's meeting of the village board of trustees.
The budget however, is not yet etched in stone. It will be the subject at a public hearing next Monday, May 2, beginning at 5:10 p.m. The hearing, to be held in the Skene Memorial Library, follows a 4pm workshop where trustees will discuss the spending plan and possibly make some changes to it.
Incumbent Fleischmanns Mayor Dave Morell has been elected to another term, edging challenger Fred Woller by four votes in Tuesday's balloting. Mayor Morell received 37 votes to 33 ballots cast in favor of Mr. Woller, who serves as a village trustee. The mayor is just completing his first term in office.
Two incumbents were seeking re-election at trustees. Todd Pascarella received 45 votes and Ben Fenton earned 44 votes.
In the Village of Margaretville, Bill Stanton was elected mayor with 71 votes. Carol O'Beirne received eight write-in votes for mayor.
By Brian Sweeney
One local mayor faces a challenge, while a former mayor is seeking his old job in village elections on Tuesday, March 15.
In Fleischmanns, five-year Trustee Fred Woller is running against incumbent Mayor Dave Morell.
Mayor Morell was elected to his current post two years ago.
Also on the ballot in Fleischmanns will be two incumbent trustees, Todd Pascarella and Benjamin Fenton. They are both running without opposition.
By Pauline Liu
Residents of the tiny Village of Fleischmanns are being asked to make a big decision. Voters will be turning out to select their mayor, when the village general election is held on March 15.
Incumbent Mayor Dave Morell is being challenged by Trustee Fred Woller. The village has only about 300 residents and more than half of them are registered voters. The contest offers voters an interesting choice. The outgoing, boyish 42-year-old incumbent will be facing a 65-year-old rival with a long record of public service.
Fleischmanns — Skene Memorial Library has announced that as of March 4, the library will be open again on Fridays.
Due to severe budget cuts caused by the loss of most state funding, the library was not open on Fridays in January and February.
Fleischmanns — The Fleischmanns Village Board is seeking input at a public hearing on Monday, Dec. 20 at 5 p.m. at the Skene Memorial Library on proposed amendments to its zoning law.

It is a highly competitive industry. Sales can be up and then down. The nature of your clients is to always look for the next best thing. You need to have thick skin and an iron stomache to be successful.

Upper management does not care that the cost of their product is too high in a highly competative market with a lot of competition. Losing alot of accounts across the board because they are not willing to budge on pricing.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Take a good look at the economy and where hospitals are cutting costs. It is often times out of the Reps controll when the company cannot or will not compete with lower prices from competitors.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."
Love teaching in a rural place!!!
Very relaxing to sit on my porch and watch the wildlife--while the menfolk discuss ways to hunt it down;(. Close enough to Roanoke/Salem to be a part of it, yet far enough way to enjoy the woods, creek, and quiet. LIke to fish and spend time with family.
I am big on vacationing---it's my "happy place" in my mind.Enjoy "planning" trips. Love the beach and would love to have my own place at Topsail Island or Ocean Isle area.

I agree, BC is not a good item on voli, unless you build for a bruiser/assassin tank focusing on lots of health. You will definitely have to peel someone to stack frenzy, when you do that BC reduces their armor, your bite that is already a good burst will do a lot more of damage with Arm Pen and health from BC.
It's not a core item, you can get it as 3rd item or something, but is still lackluster, though strong on a 1v1 situation.
Also he has no AD scaling on his abilities, but he has a "passive" AD scaling on his AA because of Frenzy. Each AD is worth 60% more when you AA for free, but if you build more AS it becomes weaker.
You could go for BC if you're trying to stack health and only health (with resistances as a bonus here and there - Omen and Visage) for your W. I don't think it's very good but it's different and it will surprise your enemies when you nuke them down with your bite, stronger than ever now.
Warmog was nerfed hard for Volibear, I don't think it's that good on him anymore... Actually it isn't very good on almost anyone now, it used to be the item you would go for if you needed a lot of health, but it doesn't really give any good premiums... It's only good now because it's a lot cheaper but...

Volty any news?
I have been reading many threads about launch day Volibear, Volibear over the past year, and present day Volibear threads and all I can say is that this is hugely controversial. I believe it is because of his binary nature tho that makes him so controversial. He can get fed and carry or feed and be useless.
Knight of Dusk
Been a week since Volty last posted, but there's probably not much happening worth reporting this being the holiday season and all.
Not to mention, depending on what they're trying out and how many other projects they might be sitting on and working with simultaneously, it could take a very long time for results to reach our ears.
I think we first heard about Viktor tweaks back in early summer complete with a thread like this asking for opinions. Well we haven't seen anything come from that yet. Some augment updates accidentally leaked into the PBE S3 update, but that's all AFAIK.
i like this idea cuz Voli was my main during his release, but he become unviable or just been less useful cuz thers better champs for the same work, i would really love a "buff" on q by letting him ignore/bump units when active, and something like removing the animation on hes ult, or making an AoE Instant damage when the lightning struck his hand like Shaman Thunderstruk on WoW
I love Volibear bump...
A bouncy Furret
Edit: Really, you down vote a bump for a thread that has gotten over 160 pages worth of comments and 13 red posts so far????

Mary Dasso's Section on Cell Cycle Regulation uses a variety of metazoan systems, including Xenopus laevis egg extracts, to study mitotic roles of the Ran GTPase, the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and the SUMO family of ubiquitin-like proteins.
These pathways work in an interconnected manner to assure the accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis. In the past year, members of the group documented novel roles for both the SUMO pathway and NPC components in the assembly and function of mitotic kinetochores. Particularly the latter aspects of kinetochore function are regulated through Ran.

Lions hire Xanders as senior personnel executive
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP)
The Detroit Lions have attempted to improve their front office by hiring senior personnel executive Brian Xanders.
Lions general manager Martin Mayhew says he's thrilled to have a person with Xanders' experience working within the organization.
The Lions announced the move Monday.
Xanders was general manager of the Denver Broncos before parting ways with one year left on his contract following a meeting in May 2012 with executive vice president John Elway. He didn't have final say on roster decisions in Denver, and he won't in Detroit.
Xanders was hired by the Broncos as assistant GM under coach Mike Shanahan in 2008 and was promoted to general manager a year later.
He spent his first 14 seasons in the NFL in various capacities with the Atlanta Falcons.

Today Mobile Wallet Media and its founder and chief editor, Randy Smith, introduce an invention that may solve the problem of standardization in mobile payments.
NFC or Near Field Communications technology is broadly used in Japan to enable mobile payments. NFC replaces the swipe of a magnetic-stripe through a credit card terminal. With NFC, the consumer taps their mobile phone, equipped with NFC, to a payment terminal also equipped with NFC. NFC uses a short range radio signal to transmit card credentials. Here in America, despite years of best efforts by Google, ISIS, MasterCard, Visa, major banks, mobile carriers and many others in promoting NFC as their technology of choice, NFC is still only present in less than 10% of retail payment terminals and smart phones in use today.
This delay of adoption has opened the door for several alternative methods to surface. PayPal, LevelUp, Square, Tabbedout, Dwolla, Mocapay, Paydiant, Corfire and mFoundry offer alternative solutions to NFC such as the scan of a QR code, mobile check-in or display of a code, name or picture to the cashier. This has effectively worked to fracture the market, thus preventing the formation of an industry standard similar to what we have with magnetic-striped credit cards. Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX) was recently founded to solve the problem of standardization in mobile payments. A few of the MCX retail partners are Wal-Mart, Target, The Gap, Lowe's, Best Buy, Shell and 7-11.
So what is the invention? The invention will enable a mobile or digital wallet to utilize any mobile payment technology adopted by a retailer. A retailer must be registered for a mobile wallet using the invention's technology. The mobile payment service provider must also be integrated to work with the invention's technology. A single mobile app or website is used complete transactions using the invention's mobile payment switch.
How it Works
1) Login into mobile app, 2) Verify store location, 3) Within a single mobile app or web site, the invention enables the use of the mobile payment technology adopted by the retailer, be it NFC, scanning a QR code or any other method and will be white-labeled or connect to the native app's interface and technology to complete the transaction.

question about HolidaZs decorating...
When I take my Christmas decorations down, I've not done any 'holiday' decorating till Valentine's. But this year I'd have to have some Winter Decor to keep things a bit festive. I'm just not sure what to use.
My garlands seem Xmas-y to me, tho maybe with any ornaments removed and just the lights, they might be ok? I LOVE the picture below, wish I a red garland, its beautiful. I saw it on the web, by a gal called Santamaker.
Those of you who do Winter Decor, could you tell me what you leave out? One thing I was thinking, is that my Cardinal collection didn't get unpacked during Christmas this year (and I missed it), that would be a good thing to use for Jan-Fed I think. I have lots of other bird ornaments, and of course bunnies. LOL.
I could use your advice and help tho.
hugs, Karen
I do snowmen!! They are so fun and why you would make room for them with all the beautiful Christmas things in December I do not know..but I don't do Santa either. I keep it about the reason for the season! So in January I go nuts with snowmen. They are cheery, they scream SNOW and January. They are colorful and can be found in all sizes and types. I hate to say good bye to Christmas but knowing I get to get out my snowmen makes it easier. FYI: I change out every month...Feb. will be red and hearts, March is all about the green..April means spring and EASTER...
I tend to try and steer clear of the red & green combination after Christmas, Karen . . . but I LOVE the mantel you've shown us here. I usually go for the silver, blue & white myself, It conjures up memories of snow, calmness, peaceful Winter scenes, etc. I like nature Winter pieces, too, which is what that mantel brings to mind. For another vignette, maybe you can use Bunnies in the Snow as an inspiration.
I did my Christmas dining room in a Victorian Santa look this year. I love it, but am already thinking about packing away much of it before Twelfth Night and breaking out the blue & white things. First I actually have to take some pics of what I do have up, though!
I am going to keep out my non-Christmasy woodland stuff out - pine boughs, pinecones, birds, and white candles. It will be minimal but I just need to have something out .....
I love the idea of using your Cardinals.
Perhaps a woodsy setting...spraying glittery snow onto branches using white Candles at different heights and blending in tiny white lights into the background would look lovely.
This Christmas I used twig branches on the mantel, mixed in with my winter garland and a few red cardinals. I really liked the look.
Since DH put up a few bird feeders outside our bay window, for the winter, I've been watching the Cardinals in the snow these past few days. They're just lovely winter birds.
I think since you didn't get to use them for Christmas, they'd be a perfect Winter display.
Could you take a look at the bathroom garland and let me know if you'd leave it up for winter? I can remove some of the ornaments but I just used silver pinecones and glass type icicles, and small blue balls. Santa would get put away with the rest of them of course, but the silver pinecone tree behind his left arm could stay.
Arcy, I don't have Snowmen except the ones in the first bathroom photo (back of the potty, LOL). I do have several things in the copper colors like in that photo tho.
And more Snowman plates.
Jane, adding twig branches is a great idea. I can get plenty of little pinecones from my backyard thanks to neighbor's tree. With my birds and bunnies, a woodsy look should be easy.
I really just want to do the family-room area which includes bay window and kitchen long counter, and for sure my entry hall where the antique sideboard is.
Its always been hard to feel 'winter-y' here in Phoenix where everything is so green when you look out the window.
LOL. So a little inside would really be nice!
hugs, Karen
Here is a link that might be useful: bathroom Xmas decor
Karen, that mantle is lovely, but still looks a little Christmasy to me. I went back and looked at the bath pic, I think if you just used the icicles with garland and maybe if you could find some little snowbirds they would look cute too. I think your cardinals would be wonderful with just greenery and snow. When I take all the Christmas down I kind of like the clean blank slate look for a while and that is when my yearly ritual of washing all the glassware takes place.
Great ideas for winter decorations. What I've pulled from here is, keep out snowmen, icicles (I'll have to go buy some, but I love that one, and, if I can find them, they should be on sale), and all things birds. All of that would fit nicely with a Valentine's Day theme, as well.
I knew all of you would be a big help, cause I sure was stumped what I wanted to do this year. In the past when I packed up my Christmas, the house just felt so blah and empty till Valentine's. I really need things a little festive so I don't get so gloomy!
And tho I wish I could do Jan as a blank slate and start fresh, I'm need my 'stuff' out. LOL.
hugs, Karen
Karen, with all your decorating I know what you mean about the home looking blah. I leave all my snowmen out after Christmas for this same reason. I'm also to lazy to put all of it away at once.
Your snowmen on the BOP can stay for sure. We are having severe storm warnings tonight and tomorrow. So far it hasn't hit here.
Karen, (luv your name!), just this morning, I was looking at a magazine, and they had some cute ways to display snowmen, and I thought of you. It was a bhg mag, so maybe you could find some of the ideas on their website, OR it might possibly still be on your newstands in your area--but may be gone. They did some really clever things with very little purchased. Good luck, and take pics for us to see, please.
Here is a link that might be useful: Better Homes & Garden
Hi Karen #3, LOL. Glad you like my name. Nice to have another one of us here. NanaKaren will probably get a kick out of it too. Don't see too many 'Karens' around.
Actually I get BHG, I just haven't had time to sit down with the latest issue so I didn't see the Snowman decor.
Bliz, I am definitely leaving my Village awhile. It will be the very last thing I put away.
Punk, hope the storm doesn't cause you guys problems. We are actually going to get a "taste" of winter in Phoenix.
Its raining today but temps ok till tomorrow night. Our normal lows would be in the 40's. That is going to be the high Fri and Sat. And down to the 20s those nights. The weather guys said its a fast moving storm and that is good. I have 5 plants I'll have to cover tho. We just don't get these temps in Phoenix. It rarely hits freezing much less below. So guess we'll be setting still more records for this year. That's all we've done weather-wise it seems. LOL.
Hope you guys the blizzard hit have dug out, and really hope you can be home and off any roads.
hugs, Karen
PM...definitely leave out your villages in your beautiful cabinets! They are wonderful & they cry "WINTER!"
Here in IA I leave my pine trees & snowmen...put away Santas, Nativities & such ... change up the buffet a bit with some white dishes or whatever fancies me at the time...but, I love leaving all the "natural" woodsy items out...pinecones, nuts, greenery, etc. And I leave my winter dishes on the counter...the Pfaltzgraff Winterfrost.
I agree with lynn...the silver, blues & such are so bright & uplifting for the new year! And your bathroom is "blue"...so maybe you can use some silver garland of beads or something & still have the icicles & glitter! Your cloches are always so wonderful ...so that bunny one ...& the polar bear & penguin would still be so lovely on your counters!
I'd love to see you put out your Cardinals...& you also have that wonderful, wonderful bay window to decorate! The cardinals have been so busy this winter & I'm going to attach a couple pics from the last few days. One is out my porch window where I couldn't catch the cardinal in the pic...they love the berries on this bush...but I scared them off by trying to take a pic close to this window...but thought the pic was cool, anyway.
Out the LR windows (where I can hide myself a bit on the couch when I take these...LOL!)
Ok, I've hi-jacked your post with "cardinals!" So I better get off...my Internet is back to good speed again & phone lines working...Whoopee! Now I can do some lookin' here again! Have fun with whatever you do! Hugs to DD! Jeanne S.
These are 4 scenes that I will leave up most of January.
This is on my back porch
This one will probably get moved to another place and not have all the snow around it
This is in the main bath and will stay until we remodel in February
I have taken the Merry Christmas off and added a bird to this scene
I got to thinking about my post and realized I forgot to say I feature my cut crystal bowls, candy dishes too. They remind me of ice. I too stick to blues and silver for colors. It actually makes my entire house seem cold, mimicking the outside I suppose.
Now is a GREAT time to look for snowmen. Keep your eye out for the ones that don't SCREAM Christmas. I got some really fun ornaments a few years ago. Snowballs, I cut off the string and pile them in bowls so they look like a snowball fight ready to happen. Fake snow is also on sale now.
Arcy, in one of my bins, I have some sparkly styrofoam balls that are fake snowballs. Thanks for the reminder since I didn't use them this year in my Christmas decorating! Plus I've got some silver, and gold, bead garlands. I have only a couple of Snowmen, very few really hit me enough to want to bring them home since I have so many other collections going. Tho I just bought an S&P set that tickled my fancy, they'd be cute under a cloche or on a tray. Plus I have another set in my bathroom. Its going to be hard for me to change my thinking on Snowmen being for winter and not just Christmas tho. LOL. Old habits die hard.
I am getting real excited about decorating a new way now,
and can't wait to unpack my cardinals! Jeanne, hijack any post of mine, anytime. I LOVE your cardinal photos each year. They all look like magazine pix or cards to me.
I follow your albums so I don't miss a thing. LOL.
By the way, Lynne, I really like the Christmas Tree basket wall hanging in the bathroom. That looks great decorated like you did it.
hugs, Karen
I found one similar to this today, and didn't realize until I got home that mine is a place card holder. The arms aren't holding anything; they're sticking straight up to hold a place card. It was only three dollars, so I'm going back for a couple more. I have friends coming over the first week of January, so it's perfect.
Karen, I think putting your cardinal out now would be perfect! Of course, I love seeing birds and birdhouses anytime.
Jeanne, gorgeous pictures. I think cardinals are so pretty, and that white snow is sure the perfect backdrop for them.
Nancyjean, that's a cute little snowman. Hope the others are still there waiting for you. You'd better hurry.
KarenMO, does the MO stand for Missouri? If so where abouts? I was born and raised in Mo.
Here's some of my snowmen I'll leave out in the kitchen...the ones on top of fridge with my winter dishes, Pfaltzgraff Winterfrost (remember those goblets I found of my dishes at TS last yr!):
And I shared this pottery from a TS find a few mos ago...here it is on my counter with a small snowman who will stay out for a few mos:
Great ideas being shared on this thread for Winter decor! thanks, holiday-ers! Jeanne S.
How on earth did I miss this wonderful post!!!!! Everyone has great ideas and there are some wonderful pictures.
I'm with Lynn on the silver and white color scheme. I never thought about blue. Of course that would work too. Blue is my favorite color - how'd I miss that???!!!
I add silver balls to a faux garland that has little white lights. I even leave that New Year's Eve decorations up for about a week before they get put away.
If I had cardinals, I'd put those out too. Sounds like a perfect idea to me. It's been rainy here, but of course, no snow. Never snow. So it's hard for me to think of snowmen in January.
Again, I loved this. Made me think about how I might change out my usual January stuff.
Cute Snowman, Nancyjean. And Jeanne, the chubby little Snowman are so darn cute. I seem to be drawn to 'round' lil critters like that. (frogs, birds, etc. Chubby is good. Except on ME!)
Here's the S&P set I just bought off eBay. Its called
"Oh No, I'm Melting".
And I have this big ol' Snowman Nutcracker and hand-painted shovel decoration I displayed last year but didn't this time. Found the Snowman on Craigslist for $15. Its in perfect condition!
hugs, Karen
I go with a blue and white decor for New Year's Eve and after. Being in the Northeast where it's cold and dreary, we tend to hunker down, have lots of comfort food and enjoy the simplicity of a winter decor. For the table, blue and white is easy for me, because it's my wedding china. Then I layer silver and white. In fact, I think I'll do that for tonight's dinner. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing of ideas!

Champions to buy.
I am relatively new to this game and only just got 6300ip enough to buy a tier 5 champ.
I was wondering what champion was best to get. I know ranged mages is my play style and have tried out Karthus, Syndra, Lux, Xerath (and liked them) but was also interested in finding out if veigar or Zyra are any good thanks.
I really liked Syndra but I hear she is not the strongest and trying to stun someone with force of will quite difficult to aim. She can move during her abilities thou which could be quite useful.
Karthus is awesome but ugly
Lux is great for getting assist and kills and her stun is really neat for running away especially if there are two people chasing you. Plus while hard to aim her ult can be quite good clean up ( not quite as good as Karthus) but way shorter cool down.
Xerath has awesome range but I imagine quite easy to gank when he is stationary.
I was mainly asking for comments plus if anyone could tell me if veigar or zyra was any good.
Veigar is a nice burst type champion that has a greater mid-late game then other mages. The more minion kills you get using his Q, the stronger he becomes as those kills give him extra AP. Same thing goes for killing enemy champions except it can be with any ability not just your Q.
Zyra on the other hand has pretty decent burst but her plants? OMG those plants are a good way to annoy your enemies. They keep constant harass on them. She's really good in team fights as most of her spells (even her passive) are AoE (area of effect) and can hit multiple targets AND she can stay away from the fight by just throwing her plants on the field and cautiously staying back.
As far as what you said about Xerath, it's slightly true but his ability that makes him stationary also gives him a decent speed buff when the duration ends. You can also reactivate the ability to get the speed buff earlier, this will help you chase/back away from ganks
Also just throwing this out there another good mage champ to play, as much as I hate his ass, is Brand. All of his abilities have added effects when used with his passive. He's a super nuke that is a pain in the ass to deal with. He has just about as much AoE as Zyra
Can I also suggest Morgana, and Soraka?
Morgana's passive along with her W gives her excellent sustain, she can stun with her Q for a team fight, E blocks magic dmg and CC, and her R slows close-by enemies while dealing TONS OF DAMAGE!
I know you think, "Soraka, isn't she a support?". Well, yes she is. But when you build up some AP with her Q, you can easily last hit minions, hurt the enemy, and lower their MR for the next Q to hit harder. Not only that, you can silence them with E, heal yourself with W, then (if your team is getting hurt) heal all with R.
Two viable choices imo, I've played all these champs except for Brand, Xerath, and Karth, but the others mentioned are great choices. (Veigar, Morgana, Zyra, Lux) Look at some vids on youtube if you want to look at their damage too,
The only issue I have with veigar is his abilties are kind of easy to dodge.
I have looked at morgana she is significantly cheaper to purchase (like veigar). We shall see I would like to see the new free champs first before I buy.
I really like the look of zyra and while it will take up most of my ip I am extremely tempted.
Sorry I have tried soraka and didn't like her. I did play pvp on my first go and only tried her once but thats besides the point.
Brand I liked at first but his combos are hard to master. Well at least on your first go :)
Thanks all
May I ask what lv your summoner is? If I could suggest something if you aren't lv 20 yet is to save the ip for runes and keep playing the free champs or find a cheaper champ. And it sounds like you prefer mid champs. Annie is actually pretty bursty. Also, try out eve. Always remember that just because the champ is more expensive does not mean they are better. There is a pretty good balance to the game. You'll find that it's best to just become very proficient with one champ and then break off from there. Even the 450ip champs are worth it and still very good.
eve is really fun. only 1350 ip and she is totally different from any other mid that you can use. once you are level 6, have DFG and boots, your team basically has an extra jungler whenever you push your lane and don't have anything to do for half a minute while it gets back to the middle. Eve ganking with your jungler is almost a guarenteed kill, ridiculous burst, a slow that gives you a shield and a spammable q that you can just follow someone with as they retreat and ping them for a surprisingly high amount of damage. Also, probably the easiest to farm with imo, besides karthus.
Mages are my favorite to play as well. I mostly play Xerath and Heimer, but have tried a few others. You might give Ryze a shot. Xerath is great for poking and an unexpected stun on folks, ans the added range from his W is fun for nabbing people hugging the turret or trying to escape, but if you get caught, it's hard to not die. You really have to maintain map awareness and not push into a dangerous spot. If you're mid, that stun helps set people up for a jungle gank as well.
I would recommend Karthus simply because he does a huge amount of AOE, has a global ulti, and the wall, which has MR shred and a massive slow.
yes I have tried Karthus and is one of my favorite champions.
I am terrible at melee champions not my strong point and I defiantly like mage considering I have got so used to spamming out abilities I think if I played someone else I would have an issue of not using their abilities in the right time :)
I am lv 12 may I ask how much a full rune page cost ? what you brought up getmelike is actually a very good point.
I know just because they are more expensive doesn't mean they are better but most of the time it means they are cooler :)
^ A full runepage from scratch costs upward of 10k IP. Then there's the issue that you might need more than one rune page for different characters. And you start with 2 so you might need to buy more runepages (6300 each). Runes are expensive.
You probably don't have to worry about all that yet though. You're still level 12 and found yoiur favorite role. The one mage rune page will be good enough, so around 10k IP by the time you hit 20 will get you most of a page.

Some Rustic Woven Chairs For The Dining Room
And now for a little chair-related riddle: What sucks more than buying eight chairs on craigslist only to realize that they're really really not working after a year and a half of trying?
A: Buying eight chairs on craigslist only to realize that they're really really not working after a year and a half of trying while you blog about it to the world at large. Haha. But you know we like to keep it real, so here's the unfortunate chair lesson that we had to learn through trial and error. And boy were there trials. And errors. But you win some and ya lose some when it comes to making your house a home. So if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. And again. And again. Haha. The good news is that this whole journey into home-making has a happy ending, so let's skip to the fun part:
But wait. We're getting ahead of ourselves. First let's flash back to the whole struggling-to-make-our-original-eight-craigslist-chairs-work rundown:
- First we found our $25 craigslist chairs and snatched them up – even though we hated the crazy hotel fabric
- Then we hunted down some inexpensive slipcovers at World Market (score!) but they were too big (boo!) so we tossed them into the dryer and they shrunk up and fit a lot better (score!).
- Then we dyed them a nice mocha color in the hopes of letting the dark teal backs of the built-ins do their thing (the original off-white tone clashed with all of the white trim and the built-ins in person).
- Then we lived with them a bit and learned that they got baggy and messy looking after a week or two of washing them (boo!). Although they snapped back into shape whenever we washed them again, it was more maintenance than we initially thought (boo!).
- So I actually tried painting one of the chairs a happy apple green using textile medium (epic fail!).
- Then I tried spray painting them (knowing I could just toss the brown slipcovers back on if it didn't work out, so I didn't have much to lose). They were sleeker than the baggy slipcovers thanks to the tighter lines, but the swirled pattern showed through in texture, which was a little less than ideal.
I actually ended that spray-painting post with this somewhat deflated statement: "As for how we feel, we're still sort of on the fence. They're definitely better (muuch better) than the green painted chair debacle. And in person we think they're marginally better than the baggy slipcovers. But we'll probably recover or replace them someday down the line. There's probably a lesson in here somewhere about how $25 craigslist chairs might not always be the answer if they have a crazy pattern and don't fit typical store-bought slipcovers. Ah well, live and learn."
In other words I took all of my crazy out on those poor hopeless chairs. Then I gave them the silent treatment for a few months while slowly growing more and more frustrated with them. Eventually we faced the they're-just-not-working music and said things like this and this to folks who asked about them. And the good news is that the fifth (eighth? I've lost count) time is the charm! The key wasn't saving those chairs and desperately trying to make them work, it was setting them free.
We're planning to craigslisting the old guys in the hopes that someone who is much better at reupholstery than we are will be interested (they're a great classic shape, but the fabric has to go) so we'll keep you guys posted on what brave soul wants to keep giving these chairs a chance at survival.
But now let's talk about the new chairs! They were actually a really good deal (just $62 a pop) and best of all, we love them just as they are. No more chair-speriments. At least in this room. The larger/cozier chair idea actually hit me one night while thinking about casual and super comfy dining room setups like this one from West Elm and this one from Ballard Designs:
Why do our chairs need to be tiny and why do there need to be eight of them? What if there were six big armchairs around the table? We still have seating for an additional four people at the peninsula (literally three steps to the left of the table) and if our family gatherings eventually get so big that we need to seat more than nine or ten people, we can always set up a kids table in the office since the middle of that room is clear (and that's just three steps from the dining table in another direction). Plus seating for six in our first house's dining area worked for the 4.5 years we lived there, so even just the four extra spots at the peninsula will be gravy.
So then I was on the hunt for armchairs, but because I worry about kiddos (& even adults) with a whole bunch of fabric + food, I had this very specific hankering for something wicker or woven. Just to add more texture and not have fabric that I have to worry about staining. The only bummer is that most wicker armchairs are in the $200-300 range a pop (like these $319 options from Ballard Designs, and these $299 ones from Pottery Barn). And then I found these. Four of them for less than the price of one of those others! And angels sang. Wait, that was just Clara in the background doing her Katy Perry impression (in case you're wondering, if you ask her who her favorite singers are, they're listed as follows: Katy Perry, The Chipmunks, Adam Levine, and Barney).
Guess why they were so marked down? They're actually outdoor chairs! And it's the end of the season so they were on super clearance. I was really nervous to buy two 4-sets of them sight unseen, but I read that:
- I could return them to any Target store instead of having to pay to ship them back if they didn't work
- By using our Target credit card the shipping was completely free
- Also by using our Target card we'd score an additional 5% off (wahoo!)
So it felt pretty risk-free. Thank goodness, because at this point I'm suspicious of chairs having unforeseen issues. Haha. Oh and getting eight of them would mean that we'd have two extra chairs we wouldn't need, so we could craigslist them, hopefully for $62 each since they'd be new/in the box and there are far uglier outdoor chairs on our local CL for $75 (so although we'd have to buy eight, we hopefully won't lose any money getting those extra two by reselling them, and the per-chair cost will stay at $62). Update: Lots of folks are suggesting that we keep the other two for our deck or patio, which was definitely our first instinct, but we tried them in a few places and felt like we were forcing them, so we'd rather sell them and save up/wait for something that could work better in those outdoor spaces :)
Then we crossed all of our appendages and knocked on wood while waiting for them to come (which makes Burger bark enthusiastically, btw – more on that here). And huzzah! They're awesome! They make me want to sit cross-legged at the table for hours and draw with Clara (done!). I think they'll be great for doing homework with her and stuff (they're kind of cozy like an armchair) and I can't wait to have a big family dinner with the grandparents and John's sister so we can all sit and chat for a nice long time in them (who am I kidding, I have a toddler, I'll be running around while they sit and chat).
Here's a shot of John relaxing in one. We're so happy they're comfy and the right height for the table. Whew.
Another great thing about them being outdoor chairs is that they have these great little durable seat cushions (they're made to work outside, so they definitely can handle spills and wipe-downs – they actually feel impervious, like most things should bead up – which'll definitely come in handy).
I'll keep you posted when it comes to how these babies wear – and how they work for homework, drawing, and hosting bigger dinners with the fam. So far they've been awesome for our little crew (they've already passed the Play-Doh test). The coolest thing is that because they're outdoor chairs we can literally bring them outside and spray them down with a hose if need be.
And I sort of love how everyone gets arm rests. It's like we're all sitting at the head of the table, which is kind of fitting since a round table doesn't have a head.
We're so thankful. Seriously, I thought we'd never crack this chair code and in 2040 we'd still be blogging something like "so we cryogenically froze the chairs and we think that'll work! Fingers crossed!" Why is it that failing a few times sometimes makes the simplest accomplishments feel monumental? We finally got dining chairs we love almost two years into living here! Somebody strike up the band!
Here's the view from the kitchen. We love how the slatted wood stools and the woven dining chairs work together without feeling too matchy. They both bring a nice texture and warmth to the rooms without feeling overwhelming (since having so many seats in two adjoining rooms could easily get crazy-competey-looking).
And so ends the epic 2010-2012 Chair Olympics that we hosted at our house. Sure, we lost the first six events (and you have to hand it to us, we really bombed a few of those times) but I might just be found standing on one of these chairs raising my fake gold medal up and happy-crying at the crowd. So it pays to keep at it until you finally get those "this is IT!" butterflies… even if they don't come easy. In the end, we're just happy that we didn't have to spend 1K on a bunch of chairs, which was definitely our fear ever since we got our big ol' table – but even with the loss that we took on those first ones (including all of our desperate attempts to save them) our total spent is still a few hundred less than that… and will hopefully be even less when we craigslist them. I think we just had to try the parson's chairs and live with them to learn that we didn't want to live with them. Haha. It's like how you have to get that glittery purple eye shadow to learn that no (NO!) it's not gonna work, and you should probably try something else.
What oops moments have you guys lived through lately? Any other furniture switchouts or upgrades going on? Between our new kitchen stools and these guys we've deemed this phase of home-making: "turning a corner." It seems like we're finally refining things, working out little nagging issues, and bringing in more texture & natural tones (which we loved in our first house) to mix with the pops of color that we've fallen more in love with since moving into our current house. It's actually pretty normal for us to take a year or two to get our bearings, so needless to say, it's pretty fun to be making those "that's it!" tweaks in a few rooms that we use all the time. We knew we'd get there someday. Never mind those five other untouched rooms that we have yet to start. Haha.

Love the upgrade. I was never a fan of the spraypainted/sometimes covered chairs – these look so comfy and really fill up the room. I've also been hunting for dining room chairs but haven't had much luck – hopefully I'll find something I love soon!
yes. yes. yes.
Our big furniture upgrade was a new TV (a total score for $99!! New!) and a TV stand that my hubs BUILT. LOVE THEM BOTH. Although I was appalled at first at how big the TV was…haha.
Very pretty – love the flow of the natural wood look from the kitchen to the dining room. Honestly…how many times did you just sit at the table to "test" out the chairs. That is totally something I would do….or stand there and stare at them trying to picture them around every season…halloween, christmas, etc.
Well, I am so glad to see those chairs go. Sometimes things just don't work.
I am thrilled with the new chairs. I love wicker chairs in the dining room, have this one pinned on Pinterest http://pinterest.com/pin/72409506478375724/ but I don't have the space in my dining room. I searched for the perfect dining room chairs (antique balloon backs) for 12 years after I bought my house, so hey – you're much faster than I am!
They new ones look great and will look even better when you refinish the floors!
love love love them! And since that room is the first thing people see when they come in your house (aka, your home's first impression), finding chairs that you love is very important. "Wop wop" turned "Woo hoo"! Nice work.
Much better! Those chairs are awesome! I need to hit up some end of season outdoor furniture sales so we have a nice set outside for next year!
If you guys craigslist them, will you let us know? I live in Richmond, love them, and only need two!!
I love the new ones! It's so very hard to admit defeat time and money are invested, but sometimes it definitely is the right choice. We just have to give ourselves permission to make a mistake and move on from it! Liberating, isn't it?
Love them and love watching your spaces evolve. Our dining room was the very first room we bought furniture for and decorated when we moved in. A couple of years later, alomst all of it has been craiglisted for pieces we love much more and fit our aesthetic much better. It's a process!
Very nice change. Probably my most favorite thig you have done to your home. Gorgeous!
i'm looking for those same kind of chairs for my kitchen table…but more of a weathered wicker. Great find!
They look like they lean backwards pretty far – can you lean back in the chair and eat or will you have to sit 'up' to eat and lean back to lounge?
The new chairs look AMAZING! Love the wicker and how it perfectly fits in the place without being all "matchy matchy." I feel like every thing I buy for my home is something I love, bring home, try to make it work and then realize it doesn't. Right now I'm feeling the wrath of a too-small and clash-y rug in the living room I'm hoping to replace someday soon. Oh well, live and learn!
I like this set up a lot better. The other chairs made the table look like a conference room with an office in the background. This setup is a lot more relaxing.
Sweet! There's nothing worse than sitting for hours after dinner chatting in uncomfortable chairs. These new babies should solve that problem for sure. They look so comfy!
I love all of the changes with the chairs. Since reading about your DIY stuff, I have strated refinishing furniture. I buy chairs cheaply from craigslist or goodwill, reenforce them and pretty them up. I'm hoping to post more pictures as well as before/after too. Check it out :)
hate to be so demanding/impatient, but now i can't wait to see what it all looks like with a light fixture hung!! love, love, loving those chairs.
I see you've tried the "left-over" chairs outside but they feel "forced". Did you try them near the drive-way where you guys watch Clara and the neighborhood kiddos play?
Love them! What is the height of your dining table? These chairs may work for us too!
Your house is just turning into this stylish and cozy place! I love it.
LOOOOOOOVE. Your dining room looks like a really swanky boutique hotel now. Any plans for a rug in there?
I have had two big oops moments lately. 1. I bought a sofa on CL and had it reupholstered. It turned out beautifully, but now that it's in my space I feel like it's a little too big. I'm 90% sure I can make it work (how often does design look good 1/2 way through the decorating process anyway, right??), but I'm still a little bummed about it. and 2. I decided to paint my bedroom SW Loyal Blue this weekend (that's the color Emily Henderson used in her home office), and I don't know what the heck is wrong with me, but I've now gone through two gallons and three coats, and it's STILL not even. I'm going to be returning to the store for my third gallon sometime this week… Arg. You guys make it look so easy!!
I let out an audible "Awwww YEAH!" for those chairs! Great choice, and they look fantastic in your dining room!
The chairs look great! Just goes to show that even after all that trial and error "you win…you always do…". :)

Zoya Matte Velvet Collection ($6.00 each) consists of three matte-shimmer polishes. What's nifty about these is that they look matte, but there is still a healthy dose of shimmer in it, so while it has that flat look, the shimmer adds depth and makes them more interesting. Keep in mind that matte-based polishes have a lot shorter wear time, particularly because a lot of top coats add shine/glossiness (which defeats the purpose of matte). Without a base or top coat, you'll get chips pretty quickly. (Of the three nails I did, Loredana is half gone, while the other two show minor tip wear, and it's been about 12 hours.) But, but… there is a benefit to these… they dry incredibly fast. Like insanely quickly. No quick-drying top coat required, these babies dry down completely within a few minutes (so work quickly).
Recommendation: If you've always been curious about matte-finish nail polishes, these are for you. If you don't mind re-doing your nails after a few days, I'd strongly urge you to sneak a peek at these lovelies. They're fun, hip, and definitely a trend for fall.

shu uemura's Primitribe Collection is a good mix of neutrals and color. I absolutely adored the Painting Liner, which was creamy, incredibly pigmented, and easy to work with. The Primal Color Sticks were interesting, but without testing them at-home, I can't tell you if they actually last at all. Unfortunately, the U.S. launch of Primitribe doesn't include everything — we won't be seeing Spinel, the pink painting liner as far as I can tell.

FASB Issues Proposed Guidance on Personnel Services Received from an Affiliate
August 10, 2012
In an effort to resolve diversity in practice regarding how not-for-profit organizations (NFPs) treat personnel services received from an affiliate, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued proposed guidance for public comment.
The proposal, "Personnel Services Received from an Affiliate for Which the Affiliate Does Not Seek Compensation (Topic 958)," would require an NFP to recognize the value of services provided by an affiliate's personnel. The value would equal the cost recognized by the affiliate for the personnel providing the services. The proposed guidance would apply only to the NFP's standalone financial statements.
The key points of the proposed guidance are:
- The affiliate must directly or indirectly control, be controlled by, or be under common control with the NFP receiving the services.
- The affiliate must not intend to seek compensation from the NFP for the personnel services provided.
- The NFP receiving the services must produce standalone financial statements.
- Services of any nature (administrative, specialized, etc.) must be recognized.
The proposed ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on independent institutions. However, NACUBO would like to hear from institutions that may be affected by the proposed guidance. The comment deadline is September 20, 2012.

Reversible Errors
A super-charged, exquisitely suspenseful novel about a vicious triple murder and the man condemned to die for it Rommy Squirrel" Gandolph is a Yellow Man, an inmate on death row for a 1991 triple murder in Kindle County. His slow progress toward certain execution is nearing completion when Arthur Raven, a corporate lawyer who is Rommy's reluctant court-appointed representative, receives word that another inmate may have new evidence that will exonerate Gandolph.Arthur's opponent in the case is Muriel Wynn, Kindle County's formidable chief deputy prosecuting attorney, who is considering a run for her boss's job. Muriel and Larry Starczek, the original detective on the case, don't want to see Rommy escape a fate they long ago determined he deserved, for a host of reasons. Further complicating the situation is the fact that Gillian Sullivan, the judge who originally found Rommy guilty, is only recently out of prison herself, having served time for taking bribes.Scott Turow's compelling, multi-dimensional characters take the reader into Kindle County's parallel yet intersecting worlds of police and small-time crooks, airline executives and sophisticated scammers - and lawyers of all stripes. No other writer offers such a convincing true-to-life picture of how the law and life interact, or such a profound understanding of what is at stake - personally, professionally, and morally - when the state holds the power to end a man's life."

A good read; but, took me forever to finish. Much legal and convoluted wranglings.
