Accreditation to teach in a Catholic school
It is vital for the effectiveness of the Catholic school community that all members understand the distinctive purpose and mission of Catholic schools. Principals and teachers need therefore to be accredited to teach in a Catholic school. In pursuing accreditation to teach in a Catholic school, staff will develop a deeper understanding not only of the nature of the school as part of the Church's mission but also of their roles as members of staff. It is expected that accreditation requirements will be met within five years of beginning teaching in a Catholic school in Victoria. Teachers of Religious Education are further required to have Accreditation to Teach Religious Education in a Catholic School. It is essential that religious educators have an appropriate and adequate knowledge of Catholic faith, tradition and practice in order to competently teach religious education using the mandated texts and to contribute to students' growth in faith. For detailed information about accreditation requirements pertaining to teachers employed in schools in the Archdiocese of Melbourne, see more information about Accreditation.

WINDSPOT small wind turbines have been designed according to the most exacting standards of quality. To that end the standard IEC 61400-2 was used as a benchmark and work is being undertaken towards certification with some of the most important organizations in Spain and Europe such as CIEMAT of Spain and SEPEN of France.
All the components of our small wind turbine are subjected to rigorous quality controls and mechanical tests to determine the product's suitability.
Among the tests for metal parts of the small wind turbine, we carry out composition analysis using a spectrometer and metallographic microscopes, magnetic induction test, impact resistance tests, surface hardness testing, ultrasound and X-ray tests to prevent porosity and shrinkage of molded parts, and tests in the salt spray chambers to measure resistance to corrosion.
For plastic parts we carry out tests using flexometer, micrometer, durometer, dynamometer, densimeter and abrasion test, all in accordance with the DIN standard.

Compact fluorescent bulbs have been popular long enough now that anyone manufacturing them should be able to make a decent one, but these colored versions sold at The Home Depot are just junk. I thought they would be a great addition to our holiday display, allowing me to replace many of our house's existing outdoor soffit lights with these colored ones for the season.
Bought 7 red/green mix and installed 4 first, which started running after Thanksgiving. Within a week, one of the reds failed and I had to exchange it. Now three weeks later, another died with a third coming and going intermittently. That's 3 of eight with problems. Home Depot lists them as usable outdoors, and mine are even covered from the elements. Says they last seven years on the packages and I'm just hoping to get 7 days more out of them.
I use white CFLs in these cans year round and never have issues. These things are extremely poorly made and a waste of $5. Look for another brand like I will next year or suck it up and buy incandescent. Far better to have a reliable bulb for a couple of cents more in electricity.
I'll give them this. I called up to complain and they just asked for the numbers on the bulb and sent me two replacements without an argument. Hopefully I got a bad batch or bad luck. We'll see what next season brings with the new ones installed. I do thank them for good and accommodating service on this resolution.

Talking Points for the Times!
To: New York Times Editorial Board
Re: Your Coming Anti-Workfare Editorials
The Times has just concluded a four-part, front-page series slamming New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's workfare policies (e.g.,"EVIDENCE IS SCANT THAT WORKFARE LEADS TO FULL-TIME JOBS"). Even now, presses are stamping out the capper, the first of what will probably be many righteous editorials denouncing the program. It happens that workfare is an old hobbyhorse of Chatterbox's. Chatterbox thinks it's the key to successful welfare reform (which is the key to solving America's most pressing social problem, the problem of "ghetto poverty"). And, aside from Milwaukee, New York is the first big city to give workfare a try. If it can make it there ...
One point your series made seems indisputable: If what Rachel Swarns reported is true, Giuliani simply doesn't have an adequate day care system in place yet. He'll have to do better. As for the rest of the series, let's stick with the major conceptual problems:
Misconception #1: It's the Overriding Goal of Workfare to Move People into Private Jobs. Politicians like to say the purpose of welfare reform is to move people "from welfare to work." That's certainly a goal. But it's not true that unless welfare reform takes all the people on welfare and gets them private sector jobs, it's failed. The overall goal of reform, as President Clinton said in a neolib moment, is to "break the culture of poverty and dependence." It's a culture that traps the poor in isolated, fatherless ghettos. It's also a culture that hurts the larger society--not just those on welfare--by producing crime, destroying urban life, fanning racial tension, etc. To change that culture, you don't have to get every unmarried welfare mom into a job. The idea is to establish the principle that every family has to send somebody into the workforce. Enforce that principle, and some of those on welfare will go to work. Other mothers may choose to live with breadwinners and spend time with their children. Other women not on welfare--and this is the big payoff--may decide not to become single mothers at all, postponing childbirth until marriage. Eventually, communities of fatherless welfare families will become communities of intact, working families. That's the idea, anyway.
Even if you think the point of welfare reform is to get everyone into a private job, that's not the immediate goal of workfare. Workfare is usually only one part of the larger welfare reform plan. Most plans attempt to "divert" those who apply for welfare into private jobs. They require those who do apply to search for work. Only those who fail to find private sector jobs are then offered workfare jobs so they can earn their benefits. Workfare, in effect, is the employer of last resort. (A fine old liberal notion!) It's crazy to expect the people who wind up in these last-resort workfare jobs--about 17,000, out of 236,000 adults on welfare in New York City--to be the ones who will fly out the door into the private sector.
Misconception #2: We should worry because only a third of those who leave welfare quickly turn up on the tax rolls as workers. The Times has made a big fuss about a New York state survey showing that "of the legions of people who came off the welfare rolls in New York City from July 1996 through March 1997, only 29 percent found full-time or part-time jobs" in the first full quarter after they left welfare. Yes, we want to know how many more people are working thanks to welfare reform. But the people welfare reform will push most successfully into the private sector are those who now never show up at the welfare office in the first place because they realize they'll do better just getting a job. The survey completely misses this group.
For those who do go on welfare, the survey only counts those who then work for private sector employers who report them to the state for tax purposes. It doesn't count self-employed laborers, domestic workers and others if they don't report their income. It doesn't count those whose employers don't fill out the required forms. Many employers who do file their forms do it late. Experience with earlier groups of welfare-leavers shows that the 29 percent figure will rise about 10 more percentage points (to about 40 percent) when these late-filers eventually comply. Finally, just because someone doesn't get a job the first quarter doesn't mean they never will. A study of Maryland's reform discovered that 36 percent of those leaving welfare had earnings in the quarter they left, but 75 percent had earnings within 2.5 years.
Even if a single mother leaves the rolls and doesn't get a job, remember, that doesn't mean reform has failed. She might have moved in with a man, even gotten married. She might be getting help from friends. If former recipients were showing up in shelters or on the streets, it would be bad news, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
Misconception #3: Workfare workers shouldn't do work unionized city workers used to do. At times, your reporters object that workfarers do "menial," unskilled, dead-end work. At other times they complain that workfarers have taken good, desirable union jobs away from others. Which is it? It can't be both. The truth is that the more the mayor asks workfarers to do useful work, like street-cleaning, the more they will probably be doing work regular city workers once did. So? Is the work low paid? Sure. If workfare is going to be the employer of last resort, it can't pay good, union wages, or else half the city will go on welfare to get a workfare job. Nor did the Times show that any regular workers were laid off or fired to make way for cheaper workfarers.
Chatterbox will go for now. Give 'em hell!

Error count
Too many mistakes were made in the second Test. Both sides fumbled, missed passes, knocked on. And they infringed at breakdown and scrum.
A large part of this is down to referee management and this needs to improve. If there is confusion, the players and management need to find clarity. You cannot complain after the event. Get it sorted on the field and work to the officials.
At the same time, cut out the small, momentum-sapping errors that have been breaking up rhythm.
The Lions have to make a collective decision to be more precise. It means understanding when and how passes will be made, and if and when you go for something more flash. Knock-ons and errors can happen, but more often than not problems are caused by misalignment or poor positioning.
Keep it simple, keep it tight, because when the game gets fractured it favours Australia, who seem better at bouncing through their mistakes. They make them, and almost immediately put them out of their minds.
Aerial battle
The kicking game has been used extensively by both sides. For all the talk of the running threat the Wallabies and the larger Lions' threequarters pose, the box kick, cross-field kick and up-and-under have all found success.
Yet if a team kick badly it can really bite them. A poor Australian kick in first Test unleashed the brilliance of George North to score a wonder try, while in the second Test the period of Australian pressure that led to the Adam Ashley-Cooper try was started by a poorly placed Lions kick. Kicks and the chasing line need to be precise and to put pressure on the defending team.
So far the Lions have done well, especially when dealing with, and chasing high balls. They have the edge in this department.
But the Australians are seeing more success with the cross-field kick. It is when you get to see Israel Falau in all his athletic brilliance, never taking his eyes off the ball, claiming it in heavy traffic.
The kicks will keep on coming. It is about how you deal with them.
I have talked about it before, but it is still the key to winning against the Wallabies. The scrum has become a lottery, and almost a side issue in terms of attacking opportunity.
As a result, the line-out can be the most impactful way for the Lions to get into the heart of their opponents. Ball off the top, delivered to Jamie Roberts crashing up the 10-12 channel, is the special ingredient that the Lions have been missing. If they can get it working today, then the Lions can set up an attacking platform which will allow Mike Phillips at scrum-half to snipe around the fringes and get in behind the gain line.
There will be huge pressure on Richard Hibbard throwing in and the jumpers to get this right. Too often, the Lions have had to go to the front just to secure their own ball, limiting their ability to go wide. They need to dominate the tail of the line-out and free up their runners.
However, should it not go perfectly then they should not panic because their line-out drive has been tasty at times. There is yardage to be made here and in a tight game, it could be the edge they need.
Head to head
James Horwill v Alun Wyn Jones
Less head to head, and more head to boot, perhaps? After the citing and the subsequent International Rugby Board confusion, the two men at the centre of it will be tossing the coin before the game.
It will have an impact and it will matter. Will it give the Alun Wyn Jones an added incentive? Will it worry James Horwill at all? Either way they will be thinking about it – their elephant in the room.
Jones has the passion that can drive this Lions team. Back to his best after a lay off, he has an intensity that permeates a side. In the build-up games he stood shoulder to shoulder with Paul O'Connell, now so unfortunately injured.
He will need to dominate in the line-out and scrum to ensure the Lions have the platform and stability they will need to win. In the loose, he will be looking for another big game where he carries and leads the defensive line. Closing down space for the Wallabies will be key.
The Australians, meanwhile, will be pleased to see Horwill playing. Robbie Deans said his captain was at the heart of everything his team stood for and was trying to achieve.
You can see that from the way he plays. Committed, untiring and abrasive, he never lies down. Horwill has disrupted the line-out and his power is one of the reasons the Wallabies have been such a surprise in the scrums. He needs to be neutralised.
George Smith v Sean O'Brien
The Wallabies' freak of nature is back in the starting line-up and what should worry everyone is that the coaches reckon he is a better and smarter player than he was.
George Smith, the king of the breakdown, will have one more crack at the Lions. In the past, he might have covered every blade of grass, tried to win every loose ball.
But not today. He lurks and he picks his moments. When he commits it is because he has spotted an opportunity, and he usually wins the ball.
Not a massive tackler, he is more of a grappler and a bouncer, pulling the big men down and then getting in and over the ball. He is a master of the low-slung dark arts, loving nothing more than disrupting or slowing ball.
Sean O'Brien is all about the gain line and explosive power. An upright, chest-on runner, he needs to be careful because this plays to Smith's strengths.
But if O'Brien and the Lions can get their game moving forward, then even Smith will struggle to contain the big Irish flanker.
O'Brien has been rewarded for his consistent form and ability to make yards under pressure. In defence he has also been good at breaking up opposition patterns.
Yet while he catches the eye in the open, he will need to be spot on in the close-quarter battle with Smith. If he gives the Australian a chance, Smith will take it.
Will Genia v Jonathan Sexton
Rhythm, pace, lines of running, kicking for corners, bringing players into or out of the game. These are just some of the things that rugby generals need to do.
Usually it is the fly-half who orchestrates things, as it for the Lions with Jonathan Sexton. The northern hemisphere's most potent playmaker is the complete package. He can play flat and attack the gain line, or stand deeper and kick for the corners. We just have not seen enough so far. Big, calm, talented, he has the nous to guide the Lions to a win.
Against him should be the Australian fly-half, but the only problem for the Wallabies is that they do not playa fly-half. Their maestro is closer in to the breakdown but no less influential.
Will Genia is the hub of Australia's attacking line at scrum-half. He nudges and probes and breaks and kicks, doing it all with a steady calm that has kept the Wallabies in the hunt. These two can decide the game.
Adam Ashley-Cooper v Jamie Roberts
Two big centres, and two men who can turn a game on their own. They will not be marking each other, but they have a habit of either scoring the tries that matter in the matches that matter, or setting them up. They are both big-game players.
Jamie Roberts will be at he heart of the Lions' attempt to dominate the gain-line battle. Win that and the Lions go a long way to securing the series.
Adam Ashley-Cooper attacks the wider channels. He has a long stride and is tough to bring down. In the first Test he was so close to making searing breaks only to be snagged back. But when it mattered in the second Test, he did the damage with the decisive try.
Both players are also defensive rocks – Ashley-Cooper punches way above his weight – and they would be a dynamite pairing. But that is for another time. Today will be all about battering the opposition and getting their team on the front foot.
The Wallabies have the momentum. They are building confidence, have more game time as units, have not made many changes and are at home.
The Lions have brought in fresh players and are looking for them to have a big impact.
They go in as underdogs, but I will have my fingers crossed on the touchline that they can pull off a spectacular turnaround.
Objectivity is out of the window. Lions to do it. Just.

I have always had a love-hate relationship with Cloud9. Having an IDE in the cloud sounds very cool, but in my opinion it needs to have equal or even more performance than a laptop or server. This is where we went wrong in the past. Building Ruby on Rails apps was not a lot faster than doing it on a RaspberryPi. Of course this is all good news for the Pi, but very bad for Cloud9. With their latest announcement
Cloud9 built support for Compute Engine into the backend of the soon-to-be-released major update of Cloud9 IDE! We've seen major improvements in speed, provisioning and the ability to automate deployments and management of our infrastructure.
We've optimized our architecture to require just one hop between the hosted workspace and the browser running Cloud9. This intermediate layer is our virtual file system server (VFS). VFS connects to the hosted workspaces and provides a REST & WebSocket interface to the client running in the browser.
This new update is expected to be released this quarter. So I can't wait to give this a try when it is released.

It was the 1970s, and the bewildered youth of America needed a hero. Instead, we got Evel Knievel. Knievel, the self-proclaimed world's greatest daredevil, roared out of Butte, Montana sometime in the 1960s with a unique flair for self-promotion, a collection of red, white and blue capes and a willingness to put himself in harm's way by jumping over things on a motorcycle. Cars, Greyhound buses, a shark tank – Knievel revved up his motorcycle and flew over them. Sometimes he landed safely, sometimes he'd crash or careen out of control, his body thrown across the tarmac like an unwanted rag doll, leaving Wide World Of Sports announcers to ask each other "Will this be Evel's final jump?"
In any era, a self-made celebrity like Knievel is bound to wind up on the silver screen. Knievel's story was told in an eponymously titled 1971 film starring George Hamilton as Knievel, who famously described himself as "the last gladiator." However, after his infamous Snake River Canyon jump, his line of toy cycles and dolls and another 5 years of jumps and crashes, the time was right to try to make a movie star out of Evel himself.
Thus, in 1977, movie audiences around the world were treated to Viva Knievel!, starring Evel Knievel as…Evel Knievel. Could he act? Would it matter? Not to kids like me, who could barely put down our Stunt Cycles or put away our Tour Vans long enough to sit through one of the greatest bad movies of all time.
As a film, Viva Knievel! is much like watching one of Knievel's crashes. It's an unholy mess, and yet we can't look away, and it contains one of the strangest casts in movie history. Gordon Douglas directed the film, and one wonders if he got the job due to his rapport with Frank Sinatra. Douglas directed Sinatra in five films in the 1960s and was known as one of the few directors who could control Sinatra or at least get along with him. Warner Brothers may have felt he'd be the man to ride rein on Knievel. The problem with that thinking is that Frank Sinatra may have been difficult, but he could actually act and pretty damned well when he wanted to.
The film opens with Knievel sneaking into an orphanage at night to bring children the uplifting gift of Evel Knievel action figures. One child is so moved by Knievel's presence, he throws away his crutches and tells Knievel he's the reason he can walk again. That's right folks – Knievel might have inspired your children to shatter their own bones emulating his crazy stunts, but don't worry – his inspiration will have them out of their hospital beds in no time at all.
Soon enough, Knievel's setting up his next jump with his alcoholic mechanic sidekick Will, played by Gene Kelly. GENE KELLY? Yes, that Gene Kelly. The cinematic icon, beloved the world over, now inexplicably reduced to playing Evel Knievel's second banana. (What's worse is that Kelly is genuinely bad in the role.) We also meet Evel's unscrupulous promoter, played by Red Buttons. Apparently Warner Brothers was under the impression that the best way to make Knievel a movie star was to surround him with people who were really current and hip in 1977, you know, like Red Buttons and Gene Kelly. We're treated to a great scene of Kelly threatening Buttons because he feels Evel's last jump hadn't been safe enough.
"What's the matter with you? Evel is my pal too!" is Buttons' meek response.
Next we meet a genuine 70s icon like Knievel, with about as much acting ability: Lauren Hutton. Hutton comes on board as Kate, an ace reporter from Rolling Stone sent to profile the king of the stuntmen. Evel immediately dislikes her because a) she's a woman and b) he's convinced she's only around hoping he'll crash and die, making it a really big story. Of course, she'll wind up falling for him, but they give off such little romantic heat, it's hard to see why. It would have been equally plausible to have Hutton fall for a life-size cardboard stand-up of Knievel. Or maybe it's just those wonderful shirts he wears.
We also meet Will's son Tommy, whom Evel has sent for from his boarding school. Unfortunately, this is not the Gene Kelly from An American In Paris who wandered around singing Gershwin to street children. No, this Gene Kelly hates his own son, because he reminds him of his dead wife. Apparently, he loved her so much that even to think about her makes him violently angry. Evel takes ugly Tommy under his wing while trying to get Will to warm up to him. Let's be honest, no one really cares.
Evel enters a stadium to the huge ovation of the carefully positioned 100 extras made to look like a huge crowd and is interviewed by "his old friend" Frank Gifford, playing himself, and Frank Gifford's enormous lapels. Then he gives the crowd his boilerplate anti-drug speech. Apparently it's okay to attempt to jump 15 Pepsi trucks on a souped-up motorcycle, but one should never take any sort of illegal drug due to the harm it will do your body. Look, what do you want, the guy's a daredevil, not Bertrand Russell.
Don't be fooled, though, this isn't just a serious of vignettes – there's a plot! It seems that Evel's one-time protégé and friendly rival Jessie (played by 1970s oddball b-movie phenomenon Marjoe Gortner) has been in touch with some money men who want Evel to take on a huge jump in Mexico. Not only is Jessie now a dope fiend, Mr. Millard (a diabolical Leslie Nielsen) the man behind the money, seems to be much more interested in drug smuggling than promoting daredevils.
Millard has hatched a "brilliant" scheme – he'll make sure to rig the jump so Knievel dies and he can transport his body back to the US in an exact duplicate of his tour trailer. This second trailer will already be packed with illegal narcotics. The bad guys tell each other that no one would ever think of stopping and searching Evel Knievel's funeral procession. Then, Jessie will take over Knievel's spot as the top motorcycle jumper. Apparently, no one was listening when he said "Jessie's a good jumper and a good kid, but if you're not Knievel, you're not number one."
Will discovers Millard's plot, so Millard has him drugged and committed to a mental institution under the care of a crooked quack played by Dabney Coleman (what did I tell you about this cast!). Jessie, who was so stoned for the first hour of the movie that he failed to fully comprehend the implications of Millard's plot, now feels he must warn Evel. Still hopped up on something, he stops Evel from making the jump by knocking him unconscious and donning one of Knievel's signature jump suits. Jessie of course then dies while making the jump in Knievel's place, illustrating that even 1970s dopers can die nobly in the service of a bigger star.
The rest of the movie is a series of chase scenes, as Knievel frees Will and then chases down the bad guys. Whether or not Knievel did his own stunts, I cannot say, but yes, he does manage to save the day. Will reconciles with his pygmy son and of course, Kate finds herself head over heels in love with Evel. Evel celebrates by taking a motorcycle jump, which segues into a horrible theme song that I will have in my head for the next 48 hours. I love this movie.

Alistar is a hard match-up. I wouldnt recommend playing Leoan into Alistar. You will lose lane because Alistar will stop Leona from engaging properly and if you do engage, you risk being hit under their tower. Alistar also has a heal which will out sustain you. I would only play Leona into Alistar if the enemy team has little to no cc and if you have a lot of follow up.
Annie can be difficult. During the early levels Annie can poke you down with her range. But this match-up is highly dependent on the ADC's. If your ADC is weaker, its going to be a lot harder to win because when you go in, after your cc is up they will just focus your ADC and probably do more damage. The same goes after level 6. Though you gain an advantage of long range engage, Annie still does a lot of damage. So you have to make sure you kill the person you engage on or else they will turn the focus on you or your ADC and probably get a kill. This match-up is primarily skill based, choosing your engages wisely and poking them down so that they cannot contest your presence.
Ashe is fairly easy to play against, her attack range is 600 which can make it slightly more tricky to engage on her. Her (w) cannot go through minions so just sit behind your minion line and wait for her to try to last hit a minion then go in on her. Once she hits level 6 be careful, though she shouldn't be able to win lane, her (ult) will create some pressure because if you push up too far, the jungler could come and her ult will make for an easy engage. Just make sure you ward and know where their jungler is before you try to go all in after lvl 6.
Bard is pretty easy; though his stun is fairly long ranged. His kit doesn't give him much laning potential pre 6. You should be able to engage on him and kill him easily. Though after level 6 it could be hard to get picks on people because his ult will stop the follow up once you try to lay down the CC. Use this to your advantage. Try to roam and make plays where Bard isnt. Your roaming is very strong.
This is an easy match-up. Blitz requires his Q to be effective at all in the game, make him not want to grab people, and he will be essentially useless. Since Leona is all about engaging, he will not want to grab you since you will just engage immediately after. But be careful, if you get grabbed at the wrong time you can still lose lane. If you ADC gets grabbed, of course its going to be a hard game. Focus on trying to engage on their ADC. The best time to engage is as soon as Blitz tries to use his Q, and misses.
Brand can be a hard match-up but it can also be easy. He has longer ranged spells than Leona pre 6 so he can really use that to his advantage and poke you down. Don't let this happen or else you will not be able to engage. Brand has to get somewhat close to use his W to do damage. Once he tries to use it, just walk through it and engage on him. He will start spell thiefs so he will be very squishy. If you have a strong early game ADC it should be an easy kill.
Braum is a fairly easy matchup, his cooldowns are very high, double that of your cooldowns. This gives you a window of opportunity to engage a second time before Braum is able to do block. However, keep this in mind; The first time you engage, Braum will shield his ADC making your adc unable to do damage. If you are engaging level 3 or after, when you engage, do not use your (W). Simply just bait his sheild then walk away from the adc. Sometimes I just use my E, then walk away as soon as he pops his shield. Your damage is high, but not high enough to solo kill their ADC with your mana pool. You need to save your mana and inflict as much damage as possible when you go in. Though Braum is defensive, he cannot stop your engage, and he is weak against melee assassins.
Caitlyn may seem like a good choice against Leona because of her range. But that can be misleading, though she has long range, bush control and decent poke, she is incredibly vulnerable to getting engaged upon. Leona's (E) has a range of 875, while cait's auto attack range is 650, so you shouldn't have much harder of a time engaging than on any other ADC. In fact, Leona's (E) can cancel Caitlyn's (E) if you do it just right. Try to engage as often as possible, she is squishy so she will die fast if you lock her down.
Corki is a medium matchup because he is weak early, but hard to pin down. This matchup can go either way depending on how the lane goes. Corki's damage output is very low early and is weak, however, because of Corki's (W), it makes it very hard to actually do damage to him. Though he has an escape, it is a long cooldown and costs a pretty high amount of mana. The problem you will face when playing against a corki is he will always escape your all in and punish you for it. The only way to win this matchup is to engage on him while is (W) is on cooldown. Once you hit 6, you can kill him pretty easily if you have an ADC that has good synergy with Leona.
Draven does not have any escapes but brings a few other things to the table that makes this matchup hard for Leona. A really good Draven player can actually use his (E) to stop your (E), but it is very hard to do. In higher elo this is something you will have to watch out for. On top of that, dravens (Q) gives him a lot of damage with his auto attacks, making it hard to trade with your ADC and even harder to play aggressive against him. If you miss your (E) or he stops it with his (E) you will find yourself being zoned from the minion wave or him hitting you and following you with his (W). Once he gets a minion advantage it becomes that much harder to engage on him. I suggest playing an ADC with some range, such as , , , or because they all have greater range than Draven, which allows them to farm safer and have decent trading that can put up with Draven's high damage auto attacks. If you find it hard to trade with Draven, just be patient and wait until level 6.
Though Ezreal is the squishiest ADC of them all, this is for a reason: He is very hard to catch. Early to mid game is your best bet at winning against Ezreal. His (E) had a high cooldown and he doesn't have his blue build with to make it hard to get close to him. In order to kill him you will most likely have to use your (Flash). This is because he will get away if you don't (Flash) + (Q) + (R) + (Ignite). Since Ezreal can escape twice, and has a very long range low cooldown (Q) and can farm safely without you being able to engage on him. Even if you make a play and force his (Flash), all ezreal has to do is play very safe and farm with his (Q). You may not get the opportunity to kill him again. Having the extra gold from killing him even if it forces all of your summoner spells is worth it. It will make it that much more probable to kill him next time. So don't hold on to your flash!
This matchup is medium because based on how good the Janna is, is how easily you will win lane and the game. If the Janna is good, her (Tornado (Q)) can actually stop your (E), this will put you in a terrible position, you will be over extended, close to them, but unable to stun. Janna can then use her (W) and slow you, this will allow Janna and her ADC to auto attack you and do a lot of damage. Janna can use her (R) to push you away and deny the kill. However, Janna using her (Q) to stop your (E) is a rare occurrence below mid/high diamond so you shouldn't run into this very often. But it is just something to consider. Janna is squishy, so you can focus her or the ADC. If their ADC is stronger than yours, focus the ADC. If your ADC is stronger than theirs, focus Janna. Once you hit level 6, you will need to focus Janna since her ult will be able to safe their ADC. But remember, you can focus the ADC, even if Janna saves her ADC with her . Jannas ultimate is a 150 second cooldown, whereas your ultimate cooldown is only 90 seconds, this will give you a minute to make another play on the ADC. What I usually do is (Flash) + (Q) + (R) + (Ignite) the Janna and kill her before she can use any spells at all. Once you get into teamfights, Janna will be able to stop your engages easier, so it is a good idea to focus the Janna down first, killing her while she is stunned.
Jinx is one of the easiest matchups for Leona; Why? Early game Jinx has no damage, and no abilities to counter you. Her (Q) has short range early game and doesn't scale as well with her AD. Her (W) cannot go through minions and her (E) has a 24 second cooldown and is very easy to avoid. Anytime Jinx goes up to farm, just engage on her. Your (E) has a range of 875, while Jinx has a range of 525 in her Mini gun form and 600 in her Rocket form. Most Jinx's will max their Q first, gaining 25 range every upgrade. Even so, you E still out ranges her auto attacks. Her flash should be down constantly. Once you hit level 6, she should be an easy kill.
Kalista is an easy matchup because she has very low mobility and is weak early. Just time your (E) for right after she auto attacks to guarantee that you land it. One her flash is down she should die a lot. If you want to secure the kill just use your (Flash) + (Q) combo to make sure that you get the kill. In teamfights just make sure you focus her and she should die quickly. You can focus the support in lane, but after kalista gets level 6 her (R) will make it very hard to kill the support. If you do engage on the support make sure you do not "all in" try to poke the support down enough that you can force Kalista to use her (R) to save the support without you using your Summoners( + ) and your Ult(). This way you can secure yourself a kill while Kalista's ult is on cooldown.
Karma is a pretty easy matchup. She will beat you in the very early game because of her kit. She will start (Q) which will give her superior poke damage. Just try to dodge her Q. Once you hit level 2, if she tries to play too aggressive engage on her if you have an ADC that can put out a decent amount of damage.
Kog'maw is a pretty easy matchup. He has short range (500) without the use of his (W). Once he comes up to farm, just engage on him. He is slow and has no escapes, it should be easy to shut him down. He cannot really do anything to stop you from engaging on him except if he plays very safe, but it will cost him CS and possibly experience. The only way this matchup can be harder is dependent on their support pick. So compare what support they are picking to the difficulty rating and you will find out how hard the lane will be.
Lucian is a very hard matchup because of his (E); it has a no cast time movement. Meaning as soon as he presses (E) it will immediately dash him. This makes lucian very good at dodging skill shots. Since it has a low mana cost it will be hard to drain his mana by forcing his escape. If you cannot manage to engage with your (E) you will most likely lose the lane since you will not be doing and damage. In this situation it may sometimes be easier to go for the enemy Support instead. Once you hit level 6, you may have to use your (Flash) + (Q) + (R) + (Ignite) + (E) combo to kill him successfully.
Lulu is an easy matchup because she has no escape and is fairly squishy. The only thing you have to watch out for is her (Q), it does quite a bit of damage and slows. Do not try to just run directly in a line at Lulu, she will slow you and stop your engage attempt. You have to be a little bit sneaky. Wait for her to use her Q, then try to engage, try to Auto + Q + Auto the wards when they put them in the bush you're in to deny them vision. Once you hit level 6, you should be able to burst down the Lulu if you engage on her. If you do it right, she should die before she is able to use her (R) to save her.
Lux is an easy matchup. You just have to play it correctly. Lux's abilities have high mana costs relative to her mana pool and will go out of mana fast trying to poke you down with her abilities. Try to dodge her (Q) as best as you can because if you get snared, you might take a lot of damage from her and her ADC. If she tried to poke you down with her (E), that's fine. Just make sure you don't get hit by her auto attack after. Since Lux is not building any AP, her damage will be fairly low so long as she doesn't get any kills. Lux is a very squishy champion so if you engage on her, she should die. Even if their ADC is stronger, you will be able to get in, kill her, and get out without dying.
Miss Fortune
Though MF has no escapes, she is quite hard to kill. Her (W) passive giver her movement speed after not taking any damage. This can make landing your (E) and (R) really difficult. She also can do a lot of damage with (R) and has a great slowing ability (E) to punish a failed all in. Choose your engages carefully and don't lead the engage with your (R) unless you are chasing her. She will be able to dodge the stun every time if her Strut passive is up. Do not stand behind minions that are low health because her (Q) will bounce off of a minion and hit you. The ability also doubles the damage if the target she Q's dies. So be careful, use bush control to your advantage. MF is considered a lane bully and will most likely push you into your tower, use this as an opportunity to call for your jungler.
This matchup is one that I despise most, this is one of Leona's hardest counters. Morgana's (E) allows her to sheild an ally (or herself), while the sheild persists they are immune to magic damage and CC(Crowd Control). This makes playing Leona extremely difficult because every time you want to engage, she can just shield and make your damage and stuns worthless. Now, you CAN outplay Morgana's by engaging on Morgana, when she sheilds herself, switch your CC to the ADC (or vice versa). You can also engage on the Morgana or ADC, when the spell sheild is put on, let your (W) explode which should break her sheild, allowing you to stun the ADC. This assumes the Morgana cannot land her (Q) on you. But don't bank on the enemy being bad to win your games. Always choose your support based on what is good, it will be a much better experience. A good morgana will punish you hard for engaging, she will sheild herself or her ADC, then use her (Q) to snare you for a long time and attack you. When you get to level 6 it is the same story, however if you use all of your spells and don't get that kill, she can (Q) and use her (R) and CC you for about 3 seconds. In order to win this game, you will have to try roaming the map for kills. You most likely wont be able to get any kills bot, which makes you a dead weight for your team. Go where Morgana is not, and try to be a sidekick jungler. I have won many games like this, but once you get to teamfights, youre going to have a tough time engaging.
Nautilus is a medium matchup because its a highly skilled matchup. Nautilus has more CC(crowd control) than you, however, he lacks engage though minions, and lacks range on his engage with ult. If you choose your engages correctly you can poke the enemyADC out of lane. If you decide to focus the nautilus support you may find yourself becoming out sustained beauteous of his (W) which gives him a free shield.
A really good sivir could make this a hard lane, but a really bad sivir will make this an easy lane. The easiest way to outplay sivir is to allow sivir to outplay herself. How? When you engage with leona's (E), you first thought is going to be... (Q) her. But sivir will expect that. Instead, just wait a second and sivir will most likely use her spell sheild with anticipation of your (Q). If you want, instead of stunning her with (Q), do a fakey and auto attack her instead, this will almost always bait out the spell sheild. It becomes harder to kill sivir as the game progresses. Using your (R) to initiate on sivir will be next to useless because she can just (E) spell sheild before it hits her. Try to get ahead early when sivir is at her weakest. Stay in the minions so that her (Q) doesn't chunk you for a lot of damage. When sivir uses her (W), simply walk to the side of your minion wave so that you do not get hit by the ricochet damage.
Sona is a medium matchup because even though she is very squishy and without an escape. She has a lot of damage. Sona's level 1 can be extremely hard to deal with because of her poke. She also has a heal which will help sustain her and her ADC from being bursted down. However, she can be outplayed. If you have an ADC that does a lot of damage you can easily burst her down. Or play smart until level 6 and just burst her down. The important part to take away from this is to not get poked down too much. You need to have health so that your jungler can come and you can engage in lane if the opportunity arises.
Soraka is a medium matchup because you can win if you play it right. Pre level 6, you MUST engage on the soraka. If you engage on the enemy ADC, you will lose lane. Why? Soraka heals for 80 HP level 1, while only dealing 10% of her maximum health. At level 2, thats healing 80 HP and only taking 50 HP from her heal. Most sorakas take health regen runes and will quicky regenerate their missing health. You do not have a heal, and you are not taking hp regeneration runes. If you engage on the ADC you will take damage, which cannot be healed and will lead to you being out sustained. This is why you must engage on Soraka. Let them push up to your tower, call for your jungler. Try to engage on Soraka as much as possible and play passive if you cannot. Once you hit level 6, you should be able to Kill the Soraka or at least force a flash. If you and your ADC have a lot of damage you can kill the enemy ADC. But remember, recent changes to grievous wounds made self healing 60% instead of 50%, and made healing from other sources (Heals by your allys) heal 100%. So keep that in mind before wasting a lot of time waiting for your cooldowns to come back.
Tahm Kench
This matchup is one of the worst for Leona; what condition that Leona needs in order to be extremely effective is being able to pick a target (a target with low HP) stun them and kill them with the teams help. Tahm makes this extremely difficult, if not impossible. Any time you want to engage on the enemy ADC (or anyone), Tahm can simply use his (W) to eat his ally, making them untargetable. Your only option is to then engage on Tahm himself, but being a support and quite tanky, is a waste of your (and your teams) resources. You will almost always lose lane against Tahm unless you call for a jungler or have a stronger ADC that allows you to engage on Tahm. Team fights don't get any better. The only way to beat Tahm is to hope that he uses his (W) to eat a minion, if he does you have to engage. But a smart Tahm will hold on to his W until you engage, making you worthless. Though in bronze/silver/gold many Tahm players do keep their W and will often use it on minions, which gives you the ability to engage freely on the enemy ADC.
Taric is quite strong in laning phase, it where he is best. He has passive armor for him and his ADC, he can stun, and he has a heal. If you engage on Taric he will be able to heal it all back quite easily. So you must engage on the enemy ADC. His heal(Q) is weak and has a long cooldown early so if you get the enemy ADC low enough you should be able to engage a second time to finish them off. You can outplay him, especially once you hit 6. This is ultimately a skill matchup and could go both ways. I don't usually pick Leona into a Taric freely because it isn't an easy lane by any means.
Thresh is a medium matchup because it can go both ways, it tends to be more of a skill matchup. If the Thresh is really good, then it will be a very hard lane. Thresh's (E) can stop Leona's (E) and has a lower cooldown, this will making engaging very difficult. However, from my experience, Thresh players do not start to use their Flay to stop Leona's Zenith blade until mid/high platinum.
Tristana is an easy matchup for the most part, the only way she can avoid getting engaged upon is for her to use her W. But this ability has a 22 second cooldown which will allow you to engage on her again before it comes off cooldown. Tristana also has a small mana pool and will run out of mana if she continues to evade your engage with her W. The laning phase shouldn't be all that tough. However once it gets to the teamfights if you can't lock her down you could lose the fight. Try to engage with (R), If she is stunned by it, follow it up with (E) + (Q). She should die. The issue with engaging with (E) + (Q) is that she can (W) away while Leona is traveling to her, making it impossible to secure the kill.
This is an easy matchup because Urgot is kind of a bad ADC at the moment anyway. But on top of that, he has no escapes and doesn't have a lot of damage as long as he doesn't land his (E) on you. If it does, it will allow his (Q) to home onto you and will gain a lot of range. Just zone yourself until he misses his E or until you want to engage on him.
Varus is a fairly easy matchup, he has no escapes. So just engage on him as much as possible. But be careful; his (Q) does a lot of damage, so sitting in the bush is not always a good idea. If you stand behind your minions you will take less damage if it hits other minions before hitting you. This is because his Q does a % of less damage per unit it travels through.
Vayne is a medium matchup because she is not quite as easy as you would think. Her tumble (Q) has a lower cooldown than your (E) and if she is good, can always dodge it. If the vayne is really good she can actually use her condemn (E) to push you back when you try to use (E). But if you have your ultimate you should be able to get a kill, or at least force a flash, which then should give you a kill later on. Make sure you buy a (Vision/Pink Ward) because when you try to initiate with (R) she can use her (Q) + (R) at the same time. Her ultimate gives her invisibility for 1 second after using her Q during her ultimate buff. This can throw you off since you will not know where she is. However, if you do not have a pink ward, you can use / right near the area of your ultimate and it will reveal her.
He is squishy, however, his range is pretty long. His poke is not that great but he will be hard to engage on pre 6. Try to have an adc with follow up or long range spells like or .
Zilean is medium because it is really a skill matchup. He has decent poke early game, poke that you cant prevent him from doing. He will most always focus your adc and there isn't a lot you can do to stop it. Try to get level 2 first and kill him, he is very squishy. Try to engage on him when he goes up to throw his bombs. Once he hits level 6 it will be very hard to win lane, especially if you need your (R) to get kills. His ultimate will always be up when yours is.
I consider this a hard match-up. Sure she is squishy, but she's very hard to deal with as Leona. She has long ranged spells that keep you at bay and will poke you down. She has a long range snare that give her the ability to disengage from you. Even if you manage to engage on her, Zyra's ultimate will counter your engage in a fight and will most often cause you to lose. In lane you can win, but it is very hard because she will zone you level 1, which means they will get level 2 first and continue to zone you from minions for most of the laning phase. Call for a gank and you can make it out. But teamfights will be a challenge since she will knock everyone up who tries to follow up on your initiation.
ADC Tier List - Enemy Lane Synergy Back to Top
When to Pick Leona Back to Top
Importance of Movement Speed Back to Top
I'm sure everyone has seen their movement speed and knows what it is. If not, it's a number, and it looks like this:
Starting a Fight - FLANKING Back to Top
I have said it time and time again, "(Dead Man's Plate) + (Mobility Boots)" These items will make you feel like a race car on the map. You will be able to create opportunities for yourself that you never thought were possible. You will be able to flank teams, come up behind them and literally assassinate your target of choice. Here is an example video of how I do just that. I stun their Veigar, make him vulnerable to our Fizz and the rest of my team; taking him out immediately, thus resulting into a won team fight, then shortly after, a Baron.
Ward Killing Back to Top
Ward Killing
Here is a video showing how to do the combo:
I would recommend learning this by going into a custom game and practicing on minions. Practice the combo and try to do it as fast as you can. Once you can do it quickly, it will be good enough to kill wards.
Zenith Blade(E) Mechanics Back to Top
Learn to outplay your opponents by judging the timing of their champions displacement CC. The most important part of this section is to make sure that your (E) activates the traveling AFTER the CC hits you. League of Legends works based on a checklist of actions and carries them out in the order in which the are received. The Knock-up/Knock-back hits you first, THEN the game registers that your E hits the champion. This means that the CC can not stop your movement because movement displacement CC can only stop champions DURING their movement, not before.
Evading a Knock-up
Following a Flash
Flash Combo/Spell Rotations Back to Top
Remember how I said that Movement speed quints, Dead Man's Plate, and Mobility Boots were important so you can literally walk up to people and kill them? Well here is a video showing that exactly. Since I have 500 movement speed I can close the gap between me and my target allowing me to (Flash) + (Q) + (R) combo and get the kill 100%. It isn't always necessary to Flash combo someone, but it guarantees the kill.
Situations to Roam Back to Top
When Your Lane is STALE
After You Recall
Creating Global Pressure Back to Top
Snowball Strengths / Mitigate Weaknesses Back to Top
Snowball Strengths
- Getting your Mobi Boots and Sightstone - If you buy them much earlier than the enemy team, this will create opportunities to roam mid if needed. Having the increased vision can also help your other lanes. Why? If you see the enemy jungler, you know where he cant be. This can help top or mid play more aggressive aiding them in winning the lane.
- BUY PINKS - I see too many people in the lower divisions never buy pinks, and i mean NEVER. Buy one and place it in the enemy jungle, or put it in the tribush/river bush to permanently deny them vision. This will give you the opportunity to roam without their knowledge of your destination.
- ROAM - If youre ahead you will be up on levels and gold. You will be very tanky and able to dive towers with ease. You also do a lot of damage and can almost 1/2 someone's HP alone.
- CLEAR WARDS - Try to roam mid, if you see their mid laner back up, you now know you just walked over a ward. Use your red trinket/ or a pink ward to clear out the ward. This will scare the mid laner AND bot lane since you could be heading to either destination. Creating a global terror they have to respect.
- MAKE PICKS - If you're ahead, it means your team is stronger than theirs, which means they DO NOT want to fight you 5v5. That means you want to try to start fights as much as possible, catching someone out of position. This is most easily done by grouping and forcing a Dragon/Rift Herald. How? It forces the enemy team to either attempt to stop you from taking it OR give it to you for free. Rarely will a team just hand over an objective for free. If they try to contest, engage. If they don't contest your objective, well they're giving you the game for free.
Mitigate Weaknesses
- Have a stronger early game ADC - This will allow you to duel them and out damage them. Having a weak early game ADC like Vayne or Jinx will be a very frustrating experience.
- Getting level 2 first - If you get level 2 you can engage and possibly get a kill or zone them from the wave.
- Having bush control - Your weak level 1; Use your Q combo to kill trinkets when they ward bush's to deny them vision, they wont want to face-check a bush against a Leona, this will give you breathing room to play more aggressive without them being able to attack you.
- Not getting poked down too much - If you don't have any HP you cannot engage.
- Call for your jungler - If you're losing lane they will probably be pushing you into your tower. Call your jungler, don't allow champions without escapes to push freely at a tower without being punished.
- Deny them vision - Buy a pink ward and clear a ward in the tribush or river bush, what they don't know hurts them. They will be less willing to play extremely aggressive if they don't have vision.
- Wait until level 6 - Once you hit level 6 you will have a lot of damage. You should be able to force a flash or get a kill.
Higher Skill, More Reward (a final note) Back to Top
I did this guide specifically because it's hands down the best build in the game for maximizing Leona's abilities, and potential.

One northbound land of Interstate 75 remained closed early Tuesday afternoon at a crash scene in Rockcastle County.
Both southbound lanes have been reopened at the crash site just north of the Mount Vernon exit, Kentucky State Police said.
The interstate were closed both north and south about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, after a crash involving a tractor-trailer carrying 55-gallon drums of a chemical used in stripping paint.
Public information officer Steven Douglas, with Kentucky Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, said James A. Key of Tryon, N.C., lost control of the rig, left the road and crashed just off the right shoulder.
Key was treated for injuries while haz-mat crews worked for several hours to remove debris and reopen the highway, Douglas said.
Drugs and alcohol are not suspected in the wreck, Douglas said.
The trailer apparently separated from the rest of the truck when it crashed, Douglas said.
The vehicle was carrying methylene chloride, which required handling by hazardous-materials workers. Apparently, only a few barrels were on the truck, and the danger was not considered serious for nearby residents, Douglas said.

First of all I used a Traffic Film Remover to loosen the dirt around the bottom half of the car, getting in the back of the Alloy Wheels and back of the Wheel Arches. Then I used Born To Be Mild Shampoo using the TWO Bucket Method making sure any grit stays in the bucket and not on the 100% Soft Wool Sponge.
Also using a Soft Detail Brush to get in the smaller areas that the Sponge could manage. Once dried using Microfibre Towel I used Lime Prime with a soft buffer pad. I used 2 layers of Dodo Juice Supernatural Premium Wax. I always put 2 layers of Wax just for that extra smooth feel. I take off the Wax with a Microfibre Cloth, gives me Full Control.
Finally I used Tropical Red Mist, not only does it smell fantastic it helps with beeding. Then Tyres Dressed and Windows cleaned inside and outside.

Pickleball: The Fun Way to Get into Shape
It's commendable to dedicate 30 minutes to an hour of your time to exercise everyday. Though this may sound easy, it's often one of the most difficult tasks to build into a routine. Workout endeavors should subsequently incorporate fun. It should be something that you look toward to, not an event that you're forced to partake, and there isn't a better way to do this than to learn a new sport. Those who know about pickleball aren't probably aware that it integrates three games giving it an array of physical benefits to anyone who takes it up as complementary workout stint to his or her daily exercise routine.
The history of pickleball is often traced back to mid-60s when elements of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton were brought together to make up the sport. Various changes have been made over the decades to make it more competitive and to attract a wider some players, resulting into numerous coveted and highly contested tournaments across the world.
On average, you burn 250 calories for a pickleball game that lasts for 30 minutes. This is if you weigh 150 pounds. People who weigh 200 pounds and above burn over 335 calories in a similar period, meaning that the bigger your weight problems are, the better your chances of having them solved by regularly playing rounds if pickleball. Therefore, don't just read through pickleball paddle reviews and stop at that, go ahead and place your order for the following reasons.
The social element
Pickleball comes in different dimensions. It's, therefore, a sport that you can engage in irrespective of age and health inclination. It's fast-paced in most cases, but you can lower its tempo by taking on an opponent who can alternate between high and low-skill categories. For example, if you're playing with a 70-year old, you can make the game more interactive by giving him or her less multiple and easy to return hits. You can change all these by getting tactful whenever you're playing against an equally quick and skilled opponent.
Like tennis, table tennis and badminton, it's possible to have a double playoff. The primary intent behind this is to make the game more complicated regarding ball timing and coordination matters. The sport is subsequently designed to improve your concentration and cognitive abilities besides helping you to shed off extra weight. Most pickleball paddle reviews note that you may not be able to play satisfactorily if your paddle isn't of the right weight. It should also be:
- Designed to support easy maneuver on the pickleball court which usually measures 20 feet in breadth and 44 feet in length.
- A longer hand to facilitate a better grip. This is an important safety precautionary measure since a slippery paddle can fly off your hand and hurt an opponent, your tag team partner or a spectator on the sidelines.
- A tacky handle increases performance by enabling you to make powerful swings.
Note that it's possible to download a set of pickleball manual to give you an in-depth understanding of the rules. Obtain the paddle and the net to set up a fully-fledged pickleball court in your backyard for leisure and exercise with a difference.…

"Our wedding was on November 5 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The theme of the wedding was metallic… primarily shades of gold. This was all inspired when I tried on the "Cassidy" by Sophia Tolli. The beading, the flow, the color almond… everything was exquisite! As soon as I said "yes" to the dress, the ideas of our entire wedding began coming into place.
Since we were doing shades of gold, I added in touches of wheat from my grandfather's farm. The wheat was spray painted gold and put into the bouquets and floral centerpieces. We also used the wheat element for our programs, menus, and seating chart. The wheat was so very meaningful to me and it truly completed the look we wanted for our wedding.
Our ceremony took place at St. Mary's Cathedral. Since I am a first grade teacher at a local catholic school, our school choir performed at the ceremony. Having 40 of my former students, "my kids", there brought tears to my eyes to hear their angelic voices as I walked down the aisle.
The reception took place at The Pinery. The views of Colorado Springs are gorgeous and we loved everything about the all- inclusive venue.
It was a dream of a day, and many thanks goes to Bridal Elegance in Colorado Springs where I found the dress of my dreams, and my husband also found his suit. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Also, thank you to Sophia Tolli for her superb craftsmanship; it inspired our whole wedding!"
