The first look of actors #Sanjay_Suri, #Anshuman_Jha and #Divya_Menons upcoming horror thriller film #Mona_Darling was released on Wednesday.
Set in the contemporary, post-cyber world, "Mona_Darling" is a whodunit that tells the story of a college campus where a few mysterious deaths occur and the only common link between the victims is that, seconds before their deaths, they all accepted a Facebook friend request from a certain profile page of "Mona_Darling".
"'Mona_Darling' is India's answer to the whodunit genre. Wiki as a character is very special and close to me because he is most unlike a hero. He's a sociopath nerd who loves gaming and codes," Anshuman said in a statement.
The film, which also stars Suzanna Mukherjee, is slated to release on February 17.

Someone that loves beauty and makeup should always know what it's essential and what it's not. Obviously everything is relative and it depends on you how you see things. When I sat down and thought about what beauty tools I am in need of there weren't many that I could remember of (also because I don't feel the need to use many tools) but there are at least four tools that I should have and that I don't.
Concealer brush is something more than essential to me. Concealer is pretty much what I use on a daily basis because I don't like to use foundation, so concealer brushes are a must for me! I have to different concealer brushes but one of them broke and the other one is flat. I've learnt how to make it work but it's definitely not a favorite. I'm think of getting the Real Techniques Setting brush (even though it's not a actual concealer brush, many trusted youtubers and bloggers use it for that purpose) or the Zoeva Concealer Buffer.
Makeup Sponges are the tool. It's such a versatile tool, you can use it to blend foundation, concealer and just to set your makeup in place, everything with just a simple sponge. I like to use concealer brushes for under eyes and makeup sponge to blend any concealer on my forehead, nose or chin.
Tangle Teezer could be my best friend. I need to get one of these very very soon! My hair is very curled, so it can be a bit naughty sometimes. Now that's getting very long it's even easier for me to have nots everywhere. A tangle teezer would be perfect to help me, especially on those days when my hair doesn't want to cooperate at all.
Let me know what brush you use for concealer as I really need one very soon and tell me what tools you always need to have near you!

Wayne "Bud" Rodeffer was a man who not easy to get to know. He was a man of few words and in his straightforward manner didn't have a great deal of use for tact. He wanted to be in control of situations and when he made a decision there was no appeals process available. Yet underneath this seemingly gruff exterior was a man who loved his family and his work.
Bud and Lucille met while they were in High School. The fact that Bud was from Dallas City and Lucille was from La Harpe was a barrier at first. We don't know how Bud felt, but Lucille wasn't attracted. But as they spent more time together at the Traveler's Inn the barriers fell and a romance began to bloom. Bud asked Lucille to marry him and she agreed. Eight days after they were married Bud went into the Navy. After basic training he was stationed in Ottumwa and Lucille joined him there.
After his two year tour of duty they moved back to La Harpe. Bud worked on the family farm and he and Lucille began the process of raising their family of five. For two years Lucille ran the Tastee Freeze and in 1973 the family moved out to the farm.
Discipline was a key concept in the Rodeffer home. Bud was in charge and everyone knew it. If you misbehaved you sat in a chair for the night. The kids weren't allowed to run all over town. Bud wanted to know where they were at all times. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, he loved them and wanted to protect them. He wanted to raise responsible, well-behaved and disciplined adults.
When the kids were younger they were in bed by 8:00 p.m. . . except on Monday when they could stay up to watch "I Love Lucy". The children never received an allowance. If they wanted spending money they were to earn it. Bud was a good provider and worked hard to make sure that his family had their needs met.
Bud grew up attending the Disco United Methodist Church and when he moved to town he was an active member of the Christian Church. He and Lucille brought the family to worship (where they sat still in the back pew) and then they remained for Sunday School. In all the years of farming, with only one exception, Bud never worked on Sunday. It was the Lord's Day and he believed that what you gained by working Sunday would be lost in other ways.
In his later years Bud didn't go to church. He became disenchanted with one of the Pastor's of the church and it soured him to the institutional church. That doesn't mean, of course, that it soured him on God. Bud never talked about his inner feelings. It was hard for him to talk about his faith just like it was hard for him to express his love.
In 1958 Bud lost his left arm in a Combine accident. He was in the hospital for 30 days and Lucille was by his side that whole time. Bud was not bitter. He felt fortunate to be alive and became determined to do with one arm what everyone else needed two to do. The day after he got home from the hospital he was on a tractor. His father had put in an automatic transmission so he could drive with one arm. Before the accident he had been coaching Bob's Little League team. As a coach he was a man who believed the purpose of the games was less about winning and more about allowing children to participate. Everyone on the team played half a game. No one was left out. Not everyone understood this philosophy but it didn't matter to Bud. Many parents sent notes thanking Bud for his fairness. After every game, win or lose, Bud would talk to the team and then treat them to a "pop".
Anyway, after Bud came home from the hospital he went out and bought a new ball glove, one he could wear on his right hand. He would put the glove on the remaining part of his left arm when he pitched and then switch it over to his right arm to catch. He wasn't going to let a "little thing" like a missing arm keep him from fulfilling his obligations to his team. He was a man who worked as hard with one arm as others did with two. He just adjusted.
Bud loved working the farm and really enjoyed the livestock. He would stand outside and just watch the cattle. He knew what animals had eaten and which had not. He would watch the next day to make sure that those same animals ate and were not sick.
Bud liked to do things in a particular way.
- You didn't plant corn "until the hedge leaves were as big as squirrel ears"
- When he traveled to Florida to see Joyce they always traveled the same road, stopped at the same gas station, ate in the same restaurant, and always checked out the same boot store. When they got to Florida he always went to the farmer's market and fed the squirrels in the backyard. They liked to go down to Florida around Thanksgiving time.
- When traveling to Florida Bud saw no reason for the radio to be turned on
- You were to always feed the animals the same way every day. You didn't vary from the ritual and if you did, Bud would tell you "it's not time yet".
- In these years after his stroke he always ate a 3 minute poached egg with cow brains.
- When Bud announced he was leaving at a certain time . . . he did.
- He wrote the weather on his calendar every day
- He believed there were two ways to farm, the wrong way, and his way.
- He liked to go to Hotel Nauvoo on Fridays at 6:30 p.m. He liked seeing some of the same people and enjoyed the relationship he had with the owners of the restaurant.
Bud also served on the school board for nine years. He refused to be a "yes" man. In fact, in all his dealings, if he disagreed with you he told you he did and he told you why he did. He was perhaps the most honest man you could meet. He was honest in his business dealings with others and had no use for those who were less than honest. His children knew that the one thing you didn't want to do was to lie to dad.
As Bud got a little older he became more patient and mellowed a little. He still wasn't very expressive but he did become a little softer. He loved his grandchildren. He always had a pocketful of pink peppermints for the grandkids. When the kids or grandkids would call on the phone, Bud would always listen in. He might not say anything, but he wanted to know what was going on in their lives. He was always asking about what everyone was doing. And even as he was dying this last week he wanted to know how Matt was doing with his pitching. He wanted to know if he hit anybody (a good intimidation device). When Hillary was heading off to get her mom at the airport Bud was giving her directions for the best (or right) way to go to Peoria.
Bud was the kind of guy that would rather teach a lesson by example than by speeches. He modeled hard work, honesty, character, and values. He didn't talk about love . . . he tried to show it by the things that he did. He saw no reason to lecture Terry about the negatives of chewing tobacco . . . he just gave him a little and let him get sick. Lesson learned. He saw no reason to tell Matt that you couldn't have all the candy and pop you wanted, he just indulged his every appetite one day and let him live with the consequences. Lesson learned. His kids knew that if they were ever put in jail for doing something foolish there was no need to call dad. He wasn't going to bail them out. To Bud, character and integrity was everything. Bud wasn't too happy when they put Elvis on a stamp. It wasn't his music, it wasn't the way he wiggled his hips . . . he didn't think a man who was as dependent on drugs as Elvis was should be glorified. Character mattered.
I hope you haven't gotten the idea that Bud was a mean man. He wasn't. He wanted to teach character in the best way that he knew. When his kids had a need he would do anything he could to help them. When they were hurting, he hurt with them. When someone needed a vehicle, he would loan you one. If you couldn't afford tires for your car he would buy them so you would be safe. When Matt crawled up on his lap and asked him to read to him, he read to him. He went to softball games. When he was out with his kids he would often buy treats for them. When he knew friends or family were hospitalized, he would always make an effort to go and visit them. He cared . . . he just didn't talk about it. In fact, Bud used to say, "You can't learn anything by talking."
His marriage of 58 years to Lucille was one of partnership. He wasn't the most romantic guy around, but he always wanted Lucille by his side. He was sometimes gruff in his comments about something not being cooked just right. When he needed his roll buttered he didn't say, "Honey, could you butter this for me?" He said, "Butter this". But Lucille and Bud understood each other. It was their way. After Bud lost his arm, Lucille helped him put on his socks, wash his hand, and a number of other little things that she did every day. . . .because she loved him. He didn't say "Thank-You" to his family, giving to one another was just what family did. He wasn't one to apologize . . . but I guess there is no need to apologize if you aren't wrong. This last week he knew he was dying, but his concern was for Lucille and that she be cared for. Bud may have had a hard time saying the words but he loved Lucille and Lucille has shown that she loved him.
Bud Rodeffer led his family and everyone knew it. His death is going to leave a big void but also a host of memories.
- His yearly birthday celebration with Donna enjoying Angel Food Cake with brown sugar frosting and strawberries
- The way Shalyn could make him laugh
- The way he favored Matt and liked to have him tag along with him
- His backseat driving
- The gadgets he would buy at the State Fair
- The Saturday evenings at Aurelio's
- The Friday nights at Hotel Nauvoo
- The way he gave Lucille a hard time telling everyone he fired her and hired her back cheaper. Or telling folks since she was born in Missouri he had bought her her first pair of shoes.
- His dinner rituals
- His "interesting" Christmas gifts
- Walking on the beach in long sleeves, long pants, and a straw hat
- And his uncanny wisdom
People may have wanted Bud to be more expressive in his love and more conversant about his faith. We may wish that he had told us more about his life growing up. But that wasn't Bud's way. Bud didn't worry about what people thought of him. He was who he was. He lived his life to the best of his ability. He sought to do what was right. We can learn a great deal from Bud Rodeffer even though he didn't say much. Perhaps Bud would say, "We could learn a lot from his life . . . if we just listen."
As we confront the matter of our loss this day there are lots of things to think about. You could focus on the things you will not share together with Bud in the future. The time of making memories has past. You could focus on the things you wish you had said, or maybe, wish you heard. That is very natural. You can wonder what life will be like without Bud. That is especially true for you Lucille.
But I would like to suggest to you a few things I would encourage you would think about today. First, think about the fact that you are not alone. Jesus said,
28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." [Matthew 11:28-30]
You may feel alone today but you are not. He has promised that He will "never leave us or forsake us". You may feel that no one understands your particular grief. But God does. He knows the regrets, the desires, the hurts, and the fears. He has promised that if we trust Him, He will give us rest. He has the strength that we need at this time.
Second, I hope you will think about the fact that God sees what is unseen. When King David was anointed he was not the kind of person you would expect to be King. He was a common Shepherd. He was young, he was still rather small. But God declared to the people, "The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7).
This is an important truth for us to keep in mind. We would have liked to know in detail how Bud felt about God. Lucille would tell you that Bud believed in God, but we would like to know more. But we don't. But God does. God weighs the heart.
Faith was a private matter to Bud. Faith wasn't something you talked about it was something you lived. We draw comfort from the fact that God's judgment is right. We know that His mercy is great and His grace is sufficient for any who would believe. Today we leave Bud with God, confident that God loved Bud and knows his heart better than we ever could imagine.
Third, I hope you will focus on the future. Sometimes we spend so much time focused on the past that we fail to live in the present. There are two things in the future to focus on. First, there is Heaven. It is our hope that Bud will be at door of Heaven waiting for us when we arrive. It is my hope that on that day he will be whole and will be able to declare fully his love for you his family, and for Jesus Christ His Lord. We must remember that this life is not all there is. You don't put away a book after you have only read the introduction. And we shouldn't say life has ended simply because we have left our temporal life. Look forward to that future day.
But we also should look forward to what we have left to do in this life. Our job is to continue building on the foundation that Bud has been left us. It is our job to carry on. It is our job to hold the family together. In fact, there are several things we are challenged to do as a result of Bud's life. First, we learn the importance of being clear of our own faith. Let us resolve to be sure of our eternal destiny and to make sure that those we love know of our confidence. The Bible is crystal clear. Those who put their full confidence in the work of Jesus on our behalf will enjoy eternal life in Heaven. Make sure of your faith . . . and then tell those you love.
Second, we must work at expressing our love and appreciation for those who are closest to us. We know that we love our families. We trust that they know that we love them. But it is important to say the words. Take time to hug the people that are closest to you. Make that effort to express yourselves even though it is hard. You know how much it means.
Third, we learn the value of a life well lived. We see in the life of Bud Rodeffer the impact that an honest, hard-working man can make. He didn't say much and yet he taught volumes. Look at the character of the family he raised. Look at the things he accomplished. Look at the obstacles he overcame. Character IS more important than stuff. Integrity does make an impact. Consequently we should make every effort to pursue Character and integrity in our lives. Bud Rodeffer spent his life trying to help his family to stand on their own. I think he has prepared you well.
Understand, I'm not saying that you shouldn't grieve. You should. When you love someone you miss them when they are gone. Let grief have it's time and then get to work on building on the legacy Bud leaves behind.
So on this day of heartache draw comfort from the fact that you are not alone, that God sees the heart, and that He will give us the strength to carry on. We grieve, but we do not grieve without hope. We look forward to a future day when we will be in God's house. It's our hope that in that day we will be able to have that heart to heart talk with Bud that we always longed to have.
Let's pray,
Our Father, our hearts are heavy with the sadness of loss. We ask that you would look at Bud's heart and find faith there. We ask that you welcome him into your home. . . the home you have prepared for him. Thank you for his character, his quirks, his determination, and his influence in our lives.
Father I ask that you comfort this family. Continue to draw them close to each other and to you. I ask especially for Lucille. Lord, thank you for her faithfulness as a wife and mother. Strengthen her as she faces the future without her partner. Help her to know your comfort in her life. For we ask these things in the name of Christ. Amen.

Noel Khalil - Education Degree
A Bachelor of Science degree in education is the first step a student who is contemplating a career in education needs to take. Bachelor's programs give them exposure to a diverse range of subjects, including literature and language arts, science, history, mathematics, and the Arts.
Education majors also learn about different teaching philosophies. Some teaching philosophies are more authoritarian and conservative, emphasizing those values and knowledge that have been passed down over many generations; these are referred to as essentialism and perennialism. A philosophy of education influences what and in what way students are taught, and represents answers to questions about what education is all about.
Common classes in a teaching curriculum at the undergraduate level including developmental psychology, teaching principles, educational psychology, learning assessments, and classroom management. In addition to this classroom learning, education majors receive practical experience and education through student teaching, which is an internship in a classroom setting under the supervision of licensed teachers and education professionals.
The demand for education professionals is linked directly to the levels of enrollment at schools nationwide. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for teachers in the U.S. is going to rise at least through 2020, with geographic fluctuations in the demand. States in the Northeast, for example, are projected to have declines in enrollment, while those in the south and west are expected to see increases.
Noel Khalil received his Bachelor of Science degree in education from the University of Rochester, where he graduated with distinction. He has spent most of his career in business, however, and is currently the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Columbia Residential, a company he founded in 1991.

|Full name
|Issamar Rosenbaum

|Meyer Rosenbaum
|Malka Rubin
|Issue 3
Rabbi Isamar Rosenbaum (1886-1973) was a Hasidic rebbe, and the progenitor of the extended Hasidic dynasty of Nadvorna and Kretshniff. He was the son of Rabbi Meyer Rosenbaum of Kretshniff, who in turn was a son of Rabbi Mordechai of Nadvorna.
Isamar Rosenbaum became a rebbe at the age of sixteen and, at his father's behest, moved to Czernowitz where he served as a chasidic rebbe. In the Nadvorna dynasty, all children of the rebbes open their own chasidic courts, even during their fathers' lifetime. His wife, Rebbitzen Malka, was the daughter of Rebbe Usher Yeshaya Rubin of Kolbuszowa, Galicia.
His family was the only chasidic family of grand rabbis known to have all survived the Nazi camps with the whole family intact.
In 1969 (20 Marcheshvon 5730), Rebbetzen Malka died; she was brought to Tveria for burial.
In 1970, three years before his death, he moved from the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan to Yad Eliyahu in Tel Aviv, Israel.
At the time of his death, he was one of the longest living chassidic rebbes in history; he was known as the Admor Hazaken miNadvorna, or "Elder Rebbe of Nadvorna".
He died at the age of 86 in 1973 (Sivan 5733) and laid to rest in the Mount of Olives.
All his sons and sons-in-law, were chasidic rebbes, with the sole exception of his son Rabbi Meyer Rosenbaum, who was the Chief Rabbi of Cuba, and a prolific author of scholarly works, including Torah LeOhr Hatekufah.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Nearly a year after the Cedar River washed over May's Island, Gov. Chet Culver visited to sign five pieces of disaster-related legislation and celebrate the progress in the community's recovery from a 500-year flood.
On the island, in front of the Linn County Courthouse and Jail, which have re-opened, Culver said he saw evidence Cedar Rapids is "slowly, but surely getting back to normal."
Facing City Hall, its fate still not determined, Culver said his visit also was a reminder that the community and the state have a long way to go to complete the recovery from floods and tornadoes last year that caused more than $8 billion in damage.
"It may take years, but we're getting there," Culver said.
The progress has been aided in no small part by more than $3 billion in federal and state disaster recovery assistance, including $600,000 in assistance approved during the 2009 legislative session, he said.
There's more assistance to come, Culver said. He expects the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to soon announce hundreds of millions of dollars in aid.
And Culver touted his $830 million bonding plan that was the centerpiece of his legislative agenda. It includes $165 million to help disaster-impacted communities as well as $100 million for rebuilding efforts on the University of Iowa campus.
The $715 million I-JOBS initiative included in the bonding plan will not only help pay for the recovery, but it will put people to work in disaster-affected communities, he said.
Culver went out of his way to defend the bonding plan that critics say will cost taxpayers $1.7 billion. The $100 million in bonds to rebuild Hancher Auditorium and other University of Iowa buildings secured more than $500 million in federal funds, he said.
"We paid for that in one day," he said, referring to the interest costs. Later he pointed out Iowa local governments have bonded for nearly $3 billion to build schools, hospital and roads.
There will be opportunities to leverage federal money with nearly every recovery project, Culver said.
"I can give you examples all over the state of projects where we'll be able to leverage money from the feds — the flood center, these sewer projects — and/or leverage private money. We have investors who are ready to partner with cities," he said.

Since my joining of the wiki, I've noticed with some frequency the number of attempts to rework or fix Ashe. In fact, there should one right below this blog in the little box listing the most recent posts. I have seen it, I have not commented on it, but i often do comment on such posts. You see, Ashe is a champion that I have come to enjoy playing greatly. She is one of my favourite ADC's, so naturally I get interested when people talk about her.
Now this isn't a response to the aforementioned rework specifically. This is more hoping to discuss why so many people feel Ashe's bow needs so badly to be restrung, the patterns that seem to occur in such discussion, and a few of my own thoughts about the state of Ashe.
Permaslow and Toxicity
Before I talk about what seems to be the central part of every rework proposition, i want to hopefully define what it means for something to be overpowered (OP) and/or toxic. Just so I can at least be consistant (if not correct). I actually like to think that "OP" is short for "Opressive" rather than "Overpowered", as it better describes the game element's relationship with other game elements. I feel something is OP when it opresses or denies room for any other options within it's category. Lee Sin is an example of an OP champion. If we assume a player has perfectly mastered all champions in the game, then there is no reason he should choose any other jungle champion other than Lee Sin, because Lee Sin can perform all the functions desired in any jungler to effective degree. He has good clears and good sustain in the jungle. He ganks incredibly well. He can initiate. He an disengage. He can set up picks (picking off someone who is out of position). He can help protect priority carries. He works well built either as a damage-oriented assassin or a utility tank. Other champions may be able to do some of the above as well or better than Lee Sin, but they usually trade off strength in other areas. Lee Sin can do all of these things to a fair degree of of effectiveness at the same time.
But Lee Sin is by no means Toxic or in need of an overhaul. A tuning, perhaps, but not an overhaul. While the Blind Monkey does overshadow other junglers as a Jack-of-All-Trade-and-a-Master-to-Boot, he is a very difficult champion to master. The fact is, no player is likely to be equally profecient with every champion. Lee SIn may be capable of engaging as well as, say, Vi, but not everyone can play Lee Sin as well as they can play Vi. That is why people can and do pick Vi over Lee Sin. The skill demanded of Lee Sin makes him overpowered on his own but healthy and balanced within gameplay. Despite being the objectively best option, the organic factor of player skill means that he demands a fair amount of investment, in the form of practice and mastery, to be utilized in all his potential OP-ness.
Another, perhaps more agreeable, example was the status of Spirit Visage early in Season 4. The base stats and build path was so efficient and streamlined, that even tanks that didn't benefit from the healing buff were buying it as their primary MR item. Then Rito nerfed the CDR (as well as the Second Wind mastery), and other MR items were able to get some room for themselves on the shopkeeper's shelves. But it wasn't like only one person could build an SV. The advantage would go to the person who did better in lane and managed to construct one first, but only until they other guy caught up and managed to build his own. And other than the heal passive, the MR and Health granted wasn't somehow magically a different or better kind of MR or Health than another item. It was really just about how slot efficient it was for the top laners.
Now when we talk about toxicity, we are talking about something that shouldn't be in the game not only because it is objectively the superior option within a category. Something becomes toxic when it becomes an addictive choice. Because it gives us what we want for very little. Think about the movie Wall-E, where the people on the spaceship could get everything they wanted out of life without ever having to leave their chairs, and how well that worked out for them in the end. Toxicity is about little risk or investment (either in gold, skill, cooldowns, or otherwise) that grants the same or better results as other options that require more investment.
Nidalee I suppose is the most recent point where Riot addressed an issue of toxicity. Cedarhelm (Ciderhelm? I'm lazy guys) made a video that explained more about why the old Nidalee was toxic and unhealthy but it basically came down to this: once players had an Athene's, they could throw spears that removed half of people's health bars fairly frewuently. The spears were slow, but a few were bound to hit after throwing ten or so. This could be done from a safe distance with little risk to Nidalee, using a basic ability with a 6~4 second coodown for relativley little mana. This was OP, but what made it truly toxic was how Nidalee also had tools to allow her to keep her distance and stay safe and healthy, and these tools did not demand that she sacrifice the effectiveness of her spears. Zero risk, minimal investment, obnoxiously high reward. Even if one could engage onto Nidalee's team hard enough, one would still take a few good hard spears to the face, only to have Nidalee pounce away and heal.
But we are not here to talk about Nidalee. We are here to talk about Perma-slows and Ashe. Riot has previously removed a 'permaslow' from another champion: Skarner. There is still some debate about whether or not Skarner and his slow was truly toxic or in need of changing/removing. I personally feel the reworks of Skarner were good, though I am a little sad about the lack of CD resets across all skills. If Riot truly feels that permaslows have no place in the league, then we will inevitably say goodbye to both Frozen Mallet and Iceborn Gauntlet. We will see major tuning done to abilities on Nunu, Malphite, Khazix, Udyr...
But I don't think Riot feels that all permaslows are bad. This is, after all, the League of Mobility. The number of gap-closers and dashes means that tools to counter perma-slows are readily available. Permaslows suck, but really only if you are already at a disadvantage. Sure, if Skarner got snowballing, not being able to escape from him was frustrating, but the key was to not allow Skarner to snowball. That way, you could always turn around and fight him, because he was fairly lackluster in the dueling department early on.
Ashe's permaslow is exactly the same. People will agree with me when I say compared to any other ADC, Ashe's damage and trading on her own is piss poor. No attack speed steriods, only one basic ability that does damage (and its only a 1.0 AD ratio), no defense or damage-mitigation abilites. Sure she can ult for an extra 1.5 seconds of attacking while you're stunned, but if she hasn't built any attack speed she just blew her ultimate for, like, 2 auto attacks. Now, if it's late game and Ashe has a good four or five items under her belt, she is scary in a 1v1 and you probably won't be able to run away, but that is why she is considered a late-game hyper carry. If it's mid game and you were caught out of position, you may cry "permaslow OP" while failing to limp away from Ashe Nunu, but then you already made a mistake without Ashe's permaslow being a factor: you were out of position.
That is what a permaslow is all about. It's the way Fiora works. If you avoid making mistakes, the permaslow isn't really all that scary (until late game maybe). Just turn and fight. If it's only 15 minutes in and Ashe is powerful enough to kill Pantheon by herself, then some serious mistakes have already been made to create that situation, and of course Ashe is going to punish you for it. In this sense, Ashe is one of the strongest ADC's in the game. She can set up and complete picks all by her lonesome once she gets rolling, and making picks is incredibly important in higher levels of play. You can send Ashe to split push on her own, and if she has the items (and the wards), she can most likely handle her own in a 1v1, using her ult to nab her an leading edge in the fight, then using her slow to press the issue and punish overconfidence. Or, she can use her ult to delay people closing in, buying her enough time to get the tower, or book out of there, or both.
If Ashe is OP, then....
...why isn't she picked more often? Some of the reworks are done because they are following the cue from stripping the permaslow off of Skarner. A few though are done with the intent to revive Ashe as a competitive pick.
The big reason is damage. The ADC role, in most iterations of the meta, consists primarily of doing damage all the time to everything. This is not what Ashe is about. This is not how Ashe is intended to carry games. Ashe is not actually an ADC: she is a support disguised and packaged as an ADC. The only reason Ashe seems to build like an ADC is that other builds and roles don't really work out for her. She's not durable enough for top lane, she doesn't have the burst for mid lane, she can't clear the jungle. Her utility fails to scale into late game the way other supports can. Plus her E passive is about last hitting and things would get awkward between her and her carry. Especially in the current meta, people are more willing to put extra utility into their top laner than into their bot lane. Harder to shut down two lanes simultaneously, I suppose. But the lack of damage is only half of it.
As I had stated before, this is the League of Mobility. Gap closer, dashes, and repositions have such a premium appeal on the solo-queue and LCS market, and for good reason. They allow people to make great plays and take big risks. It's pretty much why everyone takes flash as their second summoners without question (except for Backdoor Yi). Having flash allows you to play riskier, play more aggressive, knowing that you have that extra 500 unit blink to sneak in the killing blow when the enemy thinks they've gotten away, or jump out of harms way at the last second. And when it goes on cooldown, you know you have to be more cautious. More common gapclosers are more or less similar, even if they aren't blinks. Games are won by making plays, and nothing makes plays like leaping into the team for a Wu Kong/Yasuo double Ult Wombo.
Ashe can make plays too, but in a much different way. She is the only ADC (save maybe for a severely ballsy Varus) who can initiate a team fight all on her own. She can make and break ganks by scouting with her E. But none of these are very flashyhuehue. Plus these are things you're support should be able to do, and Ashe definitely does not want to stray for from her support. Getting to know the full extent of Ashe's utility, much like Lee Sin, takes time and practice to master, and even then is limited to context. Ashe is by no means a beginner champion. She has elements that emphasis learning basics of playing the ADC role - kiting enemies properly as well as last hitting - but to truly play a masterful Ashe, your entire ADC skillset needs to be on point all the time. Ashe is very unforgiving to people who make mistakes, both to enemies and the person playing her. Without the safety of an Essence Flux or Valkyrie, Ashe needs to have proper positioning all the time. If she gets caught out she better pray for a Thresh lantern to fall from the sky cause Zed ain't passing up that easy prey. Her Bonus gold from her E means that even if an Ashe dies a few times in lane, as long as she can keep up in CS she can still break even in gold earned. But if she spends too much time being aggressive, pushing the lane and not last hitting, then even with no deaths Ashe will lack the power advantage she needs to get to her late game.
This unreliability, this pressure to never make a mistake means she is unlikely to ever gain real traction in solo queue. And her lack of damage in comparison to other ADCs means she will not be sweeping LCS anytime soon.
So You Want a Rework
But let's say that Ashe does need a major rework done. How do we re-equip the Frost Archer? What do most people believe needs to be changed on Ashe?
Based on the reworks I have already seen, not a whole lot. In every one, her W, E, and Ult are pretty much unchanged. Often her W has some erratta simply because it's live version is tied into her Q, and that seems to be what everyone wants to adjust, along with her passive.
Now I agree Ashe needs a new passive. The old one was okay, but only because it allowed her to 'store' crit chance and make her next attack increasingly more threatening. How it is now means she only gains the benefit once in a blue moon, once it builds up to a full 100. Plus, once she has crit chance, the passive is somewhat redundant. Gain 100% crit chance on an attack that otherwise might have critted anyways. Woo hoo. I understand that this passive does reinforce to fledgling marksman that you shouldn't always be autoattacking minions in lane, but as an actual part of a skill set of a real-time champion, it doesn't seem to make an impact. When people lane against Twisted Fate they hit their TAB key and go, "Wow, TF and I have the same farm but he's already finished three items and I'm barely finished my second." When people play against Zilean, they are left a little dumbfounded as to how Yasuo AND Vi got to lvl 6 so fast to make that almost garunteed mid-lane kill. Passives need not have huge mechanical implications, but their effect should be noticed by people on both teams.
I'm feeling like something that in the background passively counts Ashe's attack delay, gaining a stack or a count everytime she could attack but doesn't. Attacking resets the metrenome to the beginning of the attack delay cycle, but doesn't pause it or put it on cooldown. This would allow her to be able to build up stacks in lane as she is last hitting every 1 or 2 seconds. Yet if she constantly attacks as her attack delay cycles, she will never gain stacks. The benefit of the stacks might need to be simplified to bonus damage on her next attack against a champion, so that Ashe doesn't have to worry about resetting an already rare passive effect on a creep. Or go back to ye olde crit chance.
Now for the infamous Q. Almost every single rework turns the toggled slow into an on-hit snare. I'm not sure if Riot leaked something and everyone is rolling with it or I missed some meeting amongst Ashe enthusiasts. Like I said before, I don't think the slow needs to go, but assuming it does, I feel like a snare would just be a mediocre replacement. An attempt to appease the Ashes, realizing that the permaslow lockdown was part of her core identity and they are trying to give something that seems similar on the surface but ultimately is just a hollow shell leaving us yearning for the kiting days of yore. The neat thing about the slow was that you could cleasne it, but then Ashe autoattacks you a second later and you're slowed again. Having the slow on a toggle means that at least one of Ashes whopping two defense mechanisms was only ever 0.5 seconds away (or however long the toggle delay is). On it's own bona-fide cooldown, the most vulnerable ADC in the game is now even more vulnerable. Not exactly going to convince people to play her competitvely.
The trick with reworking her Q is going to depend on how you want to swing Ashe overall. If you want her to still be someone who punishes people that make mistakes or underestimate their relative power level, you do need fairly heavy lockdown in the form of either a slow or a snare. I would maybe have a one-time on-hit snare/slow effect if additional attacks after the fact reset the cooldown by a small amount, allowing Ashe the chance to extend the punsihment while still giving an opening to break away by denying an auto attack with a dash (or Wind Wall). Maybe also having consecutive snaring/slowing against the same enemy in a given time frame become weaker. Fun fact: if you know of/have tried Dawngate, they have an item that does exactly that. It grants an on hit snare every ten seconds that resets slightly on attacks, but the snare lasts less every time it's procced on the same guy.
Now, something else you could do is beef up Ashe's dueling power against her marksman peers. Her Q would, rather than apply movement slow, apply an attack speed slow. Maybe even have it stack up a bit across three attacks. This would give Ashe considerably more power in the early game that would stay strong against ADCs and other attack-dependant champions into late game, but would still leave her vulnerable to bursty casters and assassins and Lucian. The thing is this would change how one responds to the new permaslow. Instead turning on Ashe and and hoping you out damage her, you can now leave quite freely, especially if you have a dash or like. Like Lucian. I'm a little iffier about this one; Ashe is supposed to be generally weaker than her lane opponents, and gaining an early edge really relies on combining her own utility with that of the support/jungler to set up plays. Making Ashe a marksman-duelist with the ability to naturally win early fights on her own would be one giant step away from her current identity. But it's a thought.
Everyone has their favourite champions that have come to love, but feel they aren't strong enough or don't get the love that they deserve. Other people find champions have a solid foundation, but feel like they are missing that one little piece that could make them the next pick-or-ban. As far as Ashe and her perma-slow is considered, I feel all she needs is a more impactful passive. Even so, I enjoy playing her as she is now and I don't feel like she is unviable or too weak. She is simply unfavoured by the currant meta that emphasis reliability and mobility over her utility and lockdown, at least among marksmen. Of course, the same was true for Kog'Maw for a while. Then they give Dagger (not PD or Statikk, just the Dagger) 5% extra attack speed and IE an extra 5 attack damage, and suddenly he was pick-or-ban for a solid 2 patches. (On that note, Ashe also benefited greatly from the ADC itemizing changes, but just didn't have the damage to compare to Kog or Trist).
So now below here lies the comment section. Tell me and the wiki if you think Ashe needs to be changed. Tell me you think perma-slows are ghey. Tell me that you are still in counselling about the anger you had over the Skarner rework. Ashe is a champion I have come to enjoy, and I would love to see how other people have experienced the Frost Archer in their LoL career.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me how the Lehigh Valley's community organizations operate in a silo to achieve their goals rather than doing so collaboratively with other organizations, I could probably subsidize the education for a few children from Head Start through college. I feel this is a myth and think that a recently completed local survey proves my point.
From June to September 2014, a group of representatives from community service organizations, including academia, health care, and the nonprofit sector, jointly conducted a survey of the nine-square-block Allentown Promise Neighborhood in the city's downtown.
Of the 827 households in the neighborhood, 608 of them completed the survey, the aim of which was to obtain reliable community-level data specifically on those families and their quality of life. This survey couldn't have been completed if a silo mentality existed among each of the participating entities. And the survey's findings tell an important and challenging story.
More than two-thirds of the households surveyed reported heads of household's having a high school diploma or GED as their highest completed level of education. And 15 percent of the heads of household reported having not earned a high school diploma. If level of education can reduce inequality and equalize the playing field, then clearly we have a community that is ill-equipped to play ball.
It is not surprising that the graduation rate in the Allentown School District is just 66 percent, making our school district the eighth lowest ranked in the state.
Research suggests that the family into which a child is born is an important determinant of lifetime opportunities, success and ultimately well-being. Can we then conclude that it is only the education system that is failing these kids? Or, perhaps, should we also be focused on ameliorating the unfortunate circumstance into which they are born?
The survey identified 245 children under the age of 5 living in the Allentown Promise Neighborhood. A 66 percent graduation rate in the school district means that when we fast-forward to the adolescence of those children, only 161 will graduate on time.
We, as service providers, have an obligation to give these 245 children a fighting chance to defy the odds, particularly the 84 who will not graduate on time or graduate at all. The question then becomes how do we level the playing field for these children who are byproducts of their environment and circumstance.
For starters, we need to identify these 245 children and further assess their familial, environmental and socioeconomic conditions. We must be prepared to invest in and provide high-quality early childhood programs for these children and expose them to an education that is in keeping with their middle-class counterparts.
The real question is how do we engage educators in conversations about poverty and education so they have a better understanding of equity literacy — the ability to recognize and respond to conditions that deny some students access to the educational opportunities enjoyed by their peers, and sustain equitable learning environments for all students and families — to ensure a more equitable distribution of that opportunity.
Maybe this conversation needs to extend beyond educators to include the larger society. After all, education of our children should not rest solely with teachers but with all sectors since we are essentially preparing students to work in these very sectors.
If we are to change the odds for economically disadvantaged children in the Allentown Promise Neighborhood, community service providers need to coordinate with a variety of sectors such as health, education, business and social services.
Because schools are not equipped to handle the full spectrum of issues affecting disadvantaged children, we should build relationships with other community organizations that can help teachers and educators address the myriad needs of these children, and thereby increase their chances of more favorable educational outcomes.
So it is important to place on the shelf the issue of community organizations operating in silos as we attend to the more critical needs of our children and their families. After all, if we all work together for the greater good of our children then we can kill two birds with one stone: achieve better educational outcomes while eroding the so-called silos.
Jessica Adams-Skinner, director of community health for Lehigh Valley Health Network, serves on the board of the nonprofit Promise Neighborhoods of the Lehigh Valley and chairs its measurement and evaluation committee, which conducted the 2014 Allentown Promise Neighborhood survey.

The typical asking rate per listing is in the $20's per square foot per year. The Downtown Glendale region is experiencing a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate fell $1 per sqft per year. That's a 3% decline in rent.
Compared to the rest of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area market, the Downtown Glendale submarket has smaller rates, so you should have no trouble finding a great deal in this discounted region.
In the last 90 days, 3 listings have been listed, which means office spaces might be going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About 200% of the office spaces in the Downtown Glendale are subleases, so you might be able to find a shorter term or below market rent. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 2,000 sqft. Most buildings in this area are around 2 floors. Most buildings in this market were built in 1957 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Waste services is the dominant industry in this area. Commute by public transit is the most popular way to get to work amongst Downtown Glendale folk. Commuting between 30 and 45 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

They said, their main objective to embark on the journey to make Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans was to give the audience a taste of action, drama and thrill of the amazing Sundarbans and the majestic tigers in the best possible way. For this purpose they had roped in Anibrain, which happens to be one of Asia's leading VFX agencies, famous for their work in Hollywood films like The Amazing Spiderman, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Ghost Rider and Resident Evil among others.
The journey as the makers say has been long and arduous. From using dogs for the initial test shoots to testing scenes with CG (Computer generated) tigers, Roar brings world-class techniques to the Indian audience for the first time. Producer Abis Rizvi comments "When the CGI tiger was created, we wanted to ensure that it was as close to reality as possible. We have replicated every aspect of the Sundarbans tiger, right down to each muscle that moves when it walks. We collaborated with Anibrain to convert our vision into reality, and after seeing the end result, we are sure the audience is going to love it as well.â€

Oil drilling expansion planned
Tue., May 1, 2007
The Interior Department announced a major expansion of offshore oil and gas development Monday with proposed lease sales covering 48 million new acres off Alaska, in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and in the central Atlantic off Virginia.
The Democratic-controlled Congress has given no indication it is willing to lift a long-standing moratorium.
Despite concerns from many environmentalists, Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne said he was convinced the oil and gas development could proceed and still assure "the highest environmental standards" are met. He said no leases would be issued without further environmental review and that in some cases environmentally sensitive areas would be off limits.

Educator fired after 2 DUIs
The University of Mary Washington fired its president Monday after he was charged with drunken driving twice within two days.
The board of the 5,000-student public liberal arts school in Fredericksburg said in a brief news release that it was in the university's best interest that William J. Frawley, 53, be terminated, effective immediately.
Frawley flipped his car in Fairfax on April 10 and left a hospital the next morning against medical advice, police said.
A warrant was issued charging him with drunken driving.
He was arrested in Fredericksburg the next day after a witness reported seeing him driving in a car missing the right front tire and police tried to pull him over. Frawley didn't stop until he reached his home.

Threats keep college closed
A series of e-mails threatening violence against a community college led officials to close all five of its campuses Monday for a third day of classes.
Delaware County Community College received about a dozen e-mails Thursday threatening "violence against numerous persons," according to police, who suspect the sender may be a student.
The campuses will remain shut today, college president Jerome S. Parker said Monday after a meeting between school representatives and law enforcement officials.
The college serves about 10,000 students in Delaware County, outside Philadelphia.
Call 811 before you dig
A new phone number will make it easier to "call before you dig" in your yard and avoid hitting electric, gas or cable lines.
Starting today, homeowners and professionals can dial 811 to arrange for utility companies to mark locations of underground lines before beginning projects ranging from tree planting to home additions.
The service will be available in at about 98 percent of the country at launch, according to Robert Kipp, president of the Common Ground Alliance, an industry coalition that the Federal Communications Commission has asked to publicize the number.
Dialing 811 will automatically route the caller to the geographically closest "Call Before You Dig" service.

All Singaporean motorists can now choose to bid online for vehicle registration numbers. Some Singaporeans have been known to go crazy over this - just in February, the New Paper reported that the registration number "S 32 H" was sold for a whopping $335,000 to a local businessman. Currently, the "S (1-10)" numbers are only reserved for official government use, so owning a single S license plate is worth a ton of bragging rights. To put things into context, $335k costs more than a Toa Payoh HDB flat currently on the market!
Of course, the single digit A series for motorcycles can fetch more then $20,000 and more.
Why should you care?
Answer: Greater convenience!
You can enjoy greater convenience by bidding on the go from 6am-12am (midnight) every day during the bidding period. You can also now bid for up to 3 different vehicles but with the same prefix and the same bid amount and one preferred vehicle will be awarded to you if successful.
An email notification will be sent to you if your bid succeeds. Once you have received the email, you can then proceed to pay for it online.
So easy!
What will you need?
- Vehicle Registration Number(s) that you wish to bid for
- NRIC number, Passport number and Country / Company / Business / Association Registration Cert. No. of vehicle's registered owner.
- Email address
- Mobile number
- Internet Banking Account to pay for successful bid
- Refund Bank Account Details for refund of unsuccessful bids. This will be paid back to your account via eNETS Debit.
- Mailing Address or Name and NRIC No. of proxy for return of Cashier's Order (s) for unsuccessful bids.

Not So Radiant: Radiance of the Seas Cruise Review by solandmames
Overall Member Rating
Not So Radiant
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seward
For the land portion, the accommodations were one star at best. In Fairbanks, the facility at Pike's Waterfront Lodge was reminiscent of a military barracks. The only food offered for meals in the Lodge was from overpriced buffets. The lounge closed at 9:00 each evening. When we walked in the rain to Pike's Landing next door, we found the food pretty much inedible. We were actually told by our waitstaff that the law in Alaska requires that all beef be served well-done. After two days of this, we moved on to Denali and the McKinley Village Lodge.This turned out to be camping with a plasma TV. Our cabin room had only two lights, no More closet and was situated mere feet from a highway carrying heavy truck traffic 24 hours a day which allowed for very little sleep for our two days here.
Once we actually boarded the Radiance of the Seas, the food we were served was of incredibly poor quality. The daily menu offered was a lot of repetitive, sometimes renamed dining selections. Though we were in the "Salmon Capital of the World", the one salmon meal they served was far from fresh, overcooked and only 3 inches by 4 inches by 1/8 inch thick. In the main dining room, we never were offered Alaskan King Crab, unless we wanted to pay an upgrade to sample one of their higher level restaurants. The steaks and beef offerings were of poor quality. They were consistently chewy and overcooked. Eating a lobster tail they served was like chewing rubber bands. It became quickly apparent that RCL wants to force customers to pay extra for their more expensive high-end dining venues. Less

Cabin review: 7032
The location of our stateroom was great as we were on a southbound cruise. We found our stateroom to be cozy but adequate, with good hidden storage. Our bags fit easily beneath our bed. Our cabin attendant, Renato did a wonderful job to make our trip enjoyable. When we boarded the Radiance we had an issue with a moldy odor in our bathroom and this took a few days to lessen.

As the strongest joint in the body, the knee provides an important component to everyday living. Athletes require intense use of their knees, which becomes a common place for injuries during competition. Many professional athletes require knee surgery at some point in their career. Whether you're a professional athlete, or a senior citizen with arthritis, knee exercises can be customized to fit your needs. By adding weights to your limbs, you will be able to provide yourself with the proper resistance.
Things You'll Need
- Table chair
- Stairs
- Dumbbells
- Strap-on weights
Stand in front of a chair. Spread your legs a little more than shoulder-width apart. Cross your arms so each hand is on the opposite shoulder. Keep your back as straight as possible, and sit on the edge of the chair. The moment your bum touches the chair, stand up and repeat this nine times. Rest for 30 seconds and then do another set. Rest another 30 seconds and then do a final set.
Hold a 2-pound weight to each side. Repeat the exercise in Step 1. Increase the weights, as you become stronger.
Stand one foot in front of a staircase with your feet shoulder-width apart. Step onto the first stair and then stand on it. Step back and repeat nine times. Do three sets, while taking a 30-second rest between each set. Use your other leg to step and repeat 9 times, before taking a 30 second rest between each of three sets.
Hold a 2-pound weight to each side. Repeat the exercise in Step 3. Increase the weight as you become stronger.
Stand behind a chair and hold onto the back. Stand on the tip of your toes. All the muscles in the lower part of your legs will tense, including your knees. Repeat this nine times. Complete a total of three sets with 30 seconds rest between each set. Try it with weights.
Stand on the edge of a step with your heels hanging at the back. Stand on the tips of your toes. On the descent, allow your heels to fall lower than your toes. Repeat nine times. Do a total of three sets with 30 seconds between each step. Try doing it with weights.
Sit on a chair. Extend your leg straight out and repeat nine times. Do three sets on each leg and allow 30 seconds for rest between each set. Try with weights strapped around your ankles.

PRO FOOTBALL; No. 1 Pick Is No. 2 on Depth Chart
By AL HARVIN,
Published: August 26, 1993
HEMPSTEAD, L.I. Aug. 25— When the Jets made Marvin Jones their No. 1 draft pick, and the fourth player taken over all, he was expected to have a chance to break into the starting lineup in place of Kyle Clifton at middle linebacker.
But the 6-foot-2-inch, 240-pound Jones, an all-American out of Florida State, staged a salary holdout that did not end until the day before the first preseason game, at Pittsburgh on Aug. 7. He signed a five-year, $6 million pact and dressed but did not play against the Steelers.
Jones played pretty well in the Jets' second preseason game, against Philadelphia at the Meadowlands, but after watching his performance against the Giants this past Saturday night, Coach Bruce Coslet said Jones "looked like he hit the wall."
Going into Friday's fourth and final preseason game, at Washington, he is still listed behind Clifton, but says he doesn't regret his holdout. Falling Behind
"I can't have any regrets now," Jones said after practice today. "I know I'm not the first player to hold out and I'm sure I won't be the last."
Jones, a ferocious tackler at Florida State, doesn't know whether it's the holdout, the heightened level of competition or the more complex pro system that is keeping him from becoming a starter now. But he does know he's behind.
"Somewhat, but there was a lot more terminology to learn," said Jones. "I feel I played all right against the Giants. I know right now it's going to take time. I like the book part. You don't know the situational things or the opponents' weaknesses unless you read the book. I feel like I'm doing pretty good. You're going to be in some situations where you know some defenses better than others. I'm not going out to make All-Pro right away."
Clifton hardly figures that his days are numbered -- at least no more than he has done in the past. He has led the team in tackles for six of the last nine seasons, never been worse than second and called defensive signals since Coslet arrived in 1990.
"The way I look at it, my job is in jeopardy every week," said Clifton. "It has been that way for 10 years. There is always competition for a job. I realize this is my 10th year and I may not be playing that much longer so they have to get someone to replace me. They also have to think about getting ready to play for the rest of the year." Clifton as Teacher
Clifton said of Jones: "I try to give him little pointers whenever he needs it, just like I remember someone had to tell me. Greg Buttle was here when I got here."
The Jets say they are not unhappy with either Jones or Clifton.
"Kyle is still Kyle," said Foge Fazio, the linebacker coach. "They tend to think that Kyle is just a QB out there calling the signals all the time, but he makes tackles and he makes the QB throw someplace else. These are things Jones has to learn. Kyle is a complete football player."
Mo Lewis, a third-round draft pick out of Georgia and also a holdout, broke into the starting lineup as a rookie in 1991. But the situation is different with Jones.
"Mo held out, but he signed only one day after training camp opened," said Fazio. "Mo had a real nice camp that year."
Lewis, who started out as the strong-side linebacker, finished fourth on the Jets in tackles that year, getting both of his sacks against Houston's Warren Moon and getting named to an all-rookie team. Last season he was switched to the weak side and led the Jets in tackles with 145 and has become a fixture there.
Can Jones do that well? Reaction Wanted, Not Thinking
"It's still pretty early to tell," Fazio said. "He's only been in two preseason games with very little practice. He still has a long way to go. It's going to take a while before he gets the total package. We're hoping he can learn it. We want to get to the point where he's reacting and not thinking. He does some nice things, but sometimes he has trouble with where he should line up.
"Jones played a lot of plays in the Philadelphia game against their second unit, but against the Giants he got in to play some against their first unit for maybe five or six shots. He was kind of shabby on tackling and his alignment last week and he hit the wall a little bit, but we were still installing plays last week, too. This week we're more in a game-plan situation. Once he learns the principles, it's like algebra. Then he'll be able to solve it."
Fazio continued: "As far as Jones calling the defensive signals when he's in there, right now that's not a problem. He is able to make the calls. The players all listen to him in the huddle. He knows all of the things that we learned at mini-camp and passing camp. You just wish he would have had training camp. We're not unhappy with him at all. I would say he's going to be O.K." EXTRA POINTS
Tests showed no tear in the left shoulder of defensive lineman MARK GUNN, so the Jets are calling it a bruised rotator cuff and they are hoping to get him back in time for the New England game, the fourth week of the season. . . . The reason cornerback MARK PRICE was re-signed after getting cut on Tuesday is that CLIFFORD HICKS suffered a groin injury in Tuesday's practice. Hicks should be back in time for the regular season opener against Denver. . . . Running back JOHNNY JOHNSON did not work out because of a slight hamstring problem Wednesday but is expected to play Friday night.

Hello Spiceworks team,
I recently installed the latest version of Spiceworks and then installed VNC on a couple of workstations to test it out.
The problem is that when starting a remote control session from Spiceworks I don't get the VNC option just RDP. I read that Spiceworks should automatically recognize any PC with VNC installed (listening on port 5900) and give me VNC as a remote control option for that machine. I can see that Spiceworks is listing the winvnc service on the PC but still just get RDP offered as the option for remote controlling.
Is there something else I should do?
Thanks in advance.
This topic was created during version 1.6.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

I think this article will help. http:/

If you have VNC installed on your client PC's then you will be able to connet by clicking the link in the "configuration" tab of the device in spice works and then clicking the VNC link under "web server"
Aug 17, 2007 at 9:41 UTC
I was not terribly successful using VNC although, I took the path of least resistance. I came across a product on
www.logmein.com which is very similar to a citrix product gotomypc
it's free and so far I love it. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks. I'm guessing that by using this product that spiceworks will not detect it automatically. Someone, please correct me if I am wrong.
Aug 17, 2007 at 11:57 UTC
Thanks to all for helping out.
I successfully connected to the client using the link under web server in the configuration tab.
Now the questions are: Did I do something wrong setting things up in the first place to have the remote control option not detect VNC?
Should I change the default remote control selection logic as suggested in the link DinkLock gave me?

Deposit Rates Heading Higher as the Top Savings Account Rate Hits 1.05 Percent
CD rates. As a result, we have three banks with savings rates at or just above 1.00 percent.
The last time at least three banks were offering savings rates at or above 1.00 percent was back in August 2012. That week, the best savings rate was at 1.04 percent with an APY of 1.05 percent. You can read more about rates in August 2012 in this article: Savings Rates Averaging 0.55% in Bankrate's National Survey.
We can safety say deposit rates have bottomed out and will be heading higher over the next several years. When rates take off and how high they will go depends on the Federal Reserve. Deposit rates are tied to the federal funds rate so when the Fed increases the rate, deposit rates move higher. When the rate is lowered, deposit rates move lower.
The current consensus is that Fed will start increasing the fed funds rate sometime in the summer of 2015. We are finally only months (and not years) away from a rate increase. This all naturally depends on continuing economic growth and a lower unemployment rate. While the United States is about to start an uptrend in interest rates but the same can't be said for the European Union.
Slow economic growth or an outright contraction in some economies in Europe is keeping a lid on interest rates in the E.U. There is even talk about some kind of quantitative easing to help stimulate growth. Any slowdown in the E.U. will only have a minor impact on economic growth in the U.S. and not derail interest rates moving higher.
The first increase in the fed funds rate will probably be 25 basis points in the summer of 2015. Soon after, the first increase in deposit rates will follow and will also be 25 basis points. At that point, the highest savings rates will likely be around 1.30 percent to 1.50 percent.
Subsequent increases in the fed funds rate and deposit rates will also be in 25 basis point increments. If economic headwinds pick up steam, unemployment drops quicker, or if inflation rears its ugly head, the increase rates will be sharper and we would see 50 basis point increases after each Fed meeting.
The current Fed calendar for 2015 has the Fed meeting eight times in 2015. The first possible increase in the fed funds rate will probably happen in the June 16-17 meeting. The Fed meets four more times after the June meeting so if all goes as planned, the fed funds rate will probably be near 2.00 percent by the end of 2015. This would put the best savings rates and money market account rates around 2.50 percent to 3.00 percent.
In September's meeting, the Fed polled their participants on where they believe the fed funds rate would be. Estimates range between the current rate of near zero percent all the way up to 2.875 percent. The estimate that gets the most projections is 1.875 percent, which is where four participants believe the rate will be by the end of 2015.
Rates are moving higher in 2015, 2016, and beyond. The most important step you can take to maximize your return is to either stay invested in variable rate accounts or short term certificates of deposit. Don't lock into a long term CD at current low rates. If you prefer a CD over a savings account, stick to CD terms of 1 year or less.
