Molly Asher - Kindergarten
Hi! My name is Molly Asher and I teach kindergarten here at Salvador Elementary. I am so thrilled to be a part of such an amazing school! I have lived here in California for one year. I moved here from my hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. While in Maryland, I taught 2ndgrade and was the Boys and Girls Club director for two years. This is my first year teaching for NVUSD. My favorite thing about teaching kindergarten is how excited and eager the children are to learn about their world around them! I am very passionate about art, theater, dancing and singing and love to incorporate it every day in the classroom.
Rebecca Lacau - First Grade
Hi! My name is Rebecca Lacau and I teach First Grade. My favorite part about First Grade is watching my students grow and learn. Throughout the year, we will learn the joy found in a good book and the excitement found in understanding numbers. We will learn about the world around us and about the role we play through Science and Social Studies. All the while, First Graders at Salvador will shine as Artists as we learn about Visual and Performing Arts. I believe that every child is special and can shine. My job is to find what excites them and bring learning to life in the classroom. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Dan, and our puppy, Roxy. I love going for long walks with Roxy, enjoying the scenery of the Napa Valley on a run, working in the garden, cooking a good meal, getting lost in a book, and spending time with our friends and family. I look forward to a wonderful year and working with you all!
Lu Kenmonth - Second Grade
Hello! My name is Lori Kenmonth, but my friends and family have called me Lu for most of my life. I've been teaching in NVUSD since 2000 after graduating from Chapman University with a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Arts and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I love teaching 1st and 2nd grades because it's the best time to teach the love of books and reading.
When I'm not in the classroom, you can usually find me at one of the local theaters in town working on a set, designing stage lights or stage managing a show. I love to sew art quilts and work in the garden with my dog Daisey. Every June when school is out, I go home to Hawaii to visit my parents.
I come from an extended family of thespians and musicians. You might have seen my youngest son Nolan on the stage at the college. He played the big blue Genie in Disney's Aladdin, and Horton the elephant in Seussicial. Or perhaps you saw my husband, Kevin Barney, as the Caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland, or heard both of them singing Beethoven's 9th Symphony when the college opened their new performing arts building. If you listen carefully, you can hear my oldest son, Nick, running the sound system and cues at Dreamweaver's Theater.
I am very excited to join the Salvador family this year and I look forward to a terrific school year!
Shannon Hattyar - Third Grade
Hi, my name is Shannon Hattyar and I teach Third Grade here at Salvador Elementary! As a Napa native, I attended NVUSD schools for my Preschool through 12th Grade Education. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego, a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from Sonoma State, and will be completing my Masters in Education with a concentration on Reading and Language from Sonoma State at the end of this semester! My thesis project is titled, "Arts Integration into the Language Arts Curriculum." I am excited to not only work on integrating the arts into our reading program this year, but all of the other subjects as well!
I have been working with Napa Unified School District for over five years. I have become a teacher because I enjoy helping others find their passions and success. I place an importance on the fact that all students should be provided with an educational experience that nurtures their individual strengths and needs. I want my students to be exposed to learning events that are meaningful, motivating, and inspirational. I believe that this can be accomplished through the use of hands-on activities, cooperative learning, an integrated curriculum, the inclusion of arts, and technology.
When I am not at school, I like to spend time pursuing my passions for art, performance, and reading. I love to paint, sketch, draw, perform as a member of a local dance company, visit museums, and read in my backyard. I am currently reading a biography on the famous artist, Frida Kahlo.
I am very excited to join the Salvador staff and I am looking forward to a fantastic year!
Nancy Moore, Fourth Grade
Hi, I'm Nancy Moore, a Napan since my preschool days. I even attended Salvador School for Kindergarten. I graduated from Sacramento State University and returned to Napa to teach, specializing in fourth grade. Salvador is one of my favorite places to teach. I live in Napa with my husband and our menagerie of two cats called Hemi and Peter Pan, a dog named Jessie, and two gopher snakes, Spot and Dot. When I am not teaching, I enjoy reading, roadtrips around the US, hiking, and cooking. My two favorite books right now are Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss and A Crooked Kind of Perfect by Linda Urban.
Brenna Curtis - Fifth Grade
Hi, I'm Brenna Curtis, and I am deeply excited to be a part of the Salvador adventure. Happily, this is my 17thyear teaching elementary school for NVUSD. I used to play at Salvador with my best buddies as a kid, now to work here is like I'm walking into a fun dream. I've taught many grades all the way through 6th,with focus on 4thand 5th, and even taught for a few years at California State University, Sacramento. I am a national Key Trainer for Project GLAD, a teacher training model in best practices that weaves language, brain, cultural, and reading/writing research together. It is my passion to teach teachers as well as students! My favoritesubject is CURIOSITY and my favorite sport has recently changed to Rugby, but Oh I love soccer, football and baseball, too! I love to ask questions, collect weird and intriguing marbles, drink Peets coffee (or Starbucks), read books, especially if I'm traveling around the world, and explore how poetry is not what we think! I love the books: Love that Dog, The Little Prince, Bloomability, Riding Freedom and A Long Way from Chicago. What do you love to do or think about?

All Day
The Queen Mary
The Queen Mary, dubbed one of the "Top 10 most haunted places on Earth" by Time Magazine, is pleased to unveil the notoriously haunted Stateroom B340 will once again be accessible for overnight guests starting Friday the 13th in April. Featured on SYFY's network Ghost Hunters and the British TV series Most Haunted, room B340 offers thrill seekers and scare enthusiasts the unique opportunity to spend the night in the axiom of all alleged paranormal activity at the Queen Mary. Room reservations are available at 877-342-0742.
Stateroom B340 has a large volume of recorded paranormal activity with many stories of haunted encounters noted in the ship's logs. Reports date back to the final ocean voyage in 1967 and include complaints from guests staying in B340 claiming that someone was knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Other complaints include bathroom lights turning on by themselves, the sink faucet turning on and off on its own, and unexplained bathroom doors shutting. Some guests have reported the covers of their bed being pulled off while asleep and waking to see a dark figure standing at the foot of the bed.
During voyage years, the space encompassed three third class staterooms, and has since been remodeled to become one large guest room suite. A perfect blend of authentic style and modern amenities, B340 is larger than the average cruise ship cabin. Featuring operable portholes and offering all the modern conveniences of a contemporary hotel, the famously-haunted stateroom offers a true ocean liner experience. In addition to standard hotel room amenities, B340 will house a chest with unique items available for guests to amplify their overnight haunt experience, including a Ouija board, tarot cards, crystal ball, and ghost hunting equipment.
The Queen Mary's year-long haunted attractions and tours continue to draw thrill-seekers of all ages in 2018 with continued updates and enhancements. Since its soft opening in winter of 2017, the re-inspired Ghosts and Legends Tour has added more frights with a new scene, more ambient lighting, and elevated scare factors all in hopes to strengthen the presence of the Queen Mary's resident ghosts. Additional haunted attractions offered onboard the Queen Mary include Paranormal Shipwalk, Dining with Spirits, and Paranormal Investigation. The Paranormal Investigation tour invites guests to join ship para-investigator and ParaXplorer Project founder Matthew Schulz as he leads visitor investigators into the depths of the RMS Queen Mary's purported active locations.
Cabin reservations for stateroom B340 will be available for booking Friday, April 13, 2018 and start at $499 per night. Reservations are available at 877-342-0742. Check-in is at 3 p.m. and check-out is at 11 a.m. For more information, or to purchase tickets for the haunted attractions and tours, please visit queenmary.com

One of my quilting customers recently gave me several colorways of this quilt:
Many thanks to my boys for standing on a chair, holding the quilt so that I could get an overall photo, instead of only the close ups I have been taking while the quilt is still on my machine! I figured wavy, wobbly quilts were better than no overall photo at all!
Because the piecing and the blocks are simple, the client chose to focus her creative energy on playing with color and texture. You may remember this same pattern from a previous post :
It has been fun and challenging to quilt several of these tops for the same customer; she allows me complete artistic freedom, and I wanted to give her back quilts with quilting she couldn't get from anyone else, while keeping each quilt different from the other!
These quilts called for an interesting all-over type quilting. You may remember that the first of these quilt tops received two different all over motifs, separated diagonally on the quilt. Had I known I could coerce children into becoming quilt-hangers, I would have taken an overall of this quilt to show you the effect.
For today's green, leafy quilt, I first thought I would do one of Suzanne's Magical Meanderings with a leaf motif. I decided to save that design for the next quilt top! Instead, I chose to quilt leafy vines running within each row of blocks. Here's a photo of the back, because that's where the quilting shows up the best:
The backing fabric is the same soft, lustrous seafoam green. I don't know how this looks on your computer screen, but mine isn't doing the beautiful fabric choice justice!
I love leaves, and had a wonderful time quilting this. I find it an interesting creative stretch to be given the same quilt top several times– it's my own version of the "how would you quilt this" show!

In-fact, people are already calling the book Capital by Thomas Piketty the must-read of the year. It's one of the most in-depth books ever written about the distribution of wealth. The topic is definitely worth exploring, too:
"Wealth inequality is even greater than income inequality. NYU economist Edward Wolff has found that, while the highest-earning fifth of U.S. families earned 59.1% of all income, the richest fifth held 88.9% of all wealth." - Pew Research on Wealth Inequality in the U.S.While everyone can see that wealth inequality facts are extremely daunting, the one topic consistently missed is the steps that should be taken to ensure that it does not get any worse.
A very real possibility is a tax on cash.
This essentially means that every idle dollar over a certain threshold would be subject to a tax. The only way to avoid such a tax would be to put idol cash to work via private investment, donation, non-profit, government loans, etc.
Everybody wins with such a policy. Let's look at a quick example:
If a wealthy elite has more than $300 million in cold cash to his name, the government could essentially say that they will tax every dollar over $100 million a whopping 50%. The wealthy individual is then incentivized to put at least $200 million of his own money to work.
The wealthy individual still has claim to his wealth but he's also now transferred, what was a large sum of inactive cash, into the American economy to be invested, lended out, or even given away.
Think about this for a moment.

WASHINGTON — The merger of two government-sponsored enterprise regulators to form the Federal Housing Finance Agency — a year ago this month — offers a cautionary tale as policymakers consider combining banking agencies and creating a new consumer protection supervisor.
Though the new agency was billed as the creation of a "world-class regulator," critics say it is little more than a sum of its parts, and new authorities it was given were granted too late to stave off the collapse of its principal institutions — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
While some worry a similar fate could befall a proposed merger Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Office of Thrift Supervision, they also raise concerns that the Obama restructuring plan is at odds with what most consider a right move in the creation of the Finance Agency: combining mission and safety and soundness oversight.
Under the Obama plan, bank regulators would be stripped of consumer protection authority and have it handed to a new agency. But a separation of such responsibilities among GSE regulators helped cause their downfall, said Finance Agency Director James Lockhart.
"You can't really separate that," he said in an interview this week. "Some of the problems we have today may have been the result of excessive requirements on affordable housing goals. With better coordination, maybe that wouldn't have happened."
Until last year, Fannie and Freddie were subject to affordable housing goals from the Department of Housing and Urban Development while being regulated for safety and soundness by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight. Lockhart said that disconnect between OFHEO and HUD did not make sense, and putting them together in his agency has worked well.
"We have a better understanding now of the safety and soundness related to mission goals," he said. "In retrospect, I would say they were too high and they kept accelerating and that did cause some problems."
Yet policymakers appear headed in the opposite direction when it comes to banks. Currently, consumer protection and safety and soundness are both handled by the federal banking regulators.
Under the Obama plan, consumer protection, which is akin to mission oversight, would fall to a new consumer protection agency — an idea opposed by the industry but popular with Democrats.
While some observers worry that Congress is poised to repeat the same mistakes it made with Fannie and Freddie, others said the new Consumer Financial Protection Agency would be significantly stronger than HUD.
"It's a good comparison in terms of the split responsibilities, but I think the difference … was that HUD had the affordable housing goals but not a lot of power to execute them, and whatever power it had was never used," said Karen Shaw Petrou, the managing director of Federal Financial Analytics. "The CFPA, as proposed by the administration, would be extremely empowered."
But much of the focus remains on whether the creation of the Finance Agency really strengthened GSE oversight, or whether the combination of two agencies is largely window dressing.
Sources complain that even a year later, tensions between the former staff of OFHEO and the Federal Housing Finance Board, which oversaw the Federal Home Loan banks, are still high.
"There are still inherent problems between OFHEO people and Finance Board people," said one source close to the agency, who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussion. "There's a culture clash, and the OFHEO people still feel like they were the stronger agency in the deal."
The same problems could beset the OCC and OTS if they were merged, as Obama has proposed, into the National Bank Supervisor, observers said. That could especially be the case if lawmakers do not eliminate the thrift charter.
Part of the friction between former OFHEO and Finance Board staff may turn on a Congressional mandate that the Home Loan banks be treated differently from Fannie and Freddie, making it hard for the two arms of the agency to fully blend. "Maybe they expected us all to be put in a juicer," said Alfred DelliBovi, the chief executive of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. "But that's not what the legislation called for."
There were also tensions in how standards for two GSEs were applied to 12 others. Several sources said that former accountants at OFHEO frequently clash with former supervisors from the Finance Board. Still scarred by earnings manipulation at Fannie and Freddie, the accountants have taken an aggressive view of other-than-temporary impairment charges on private-label mortgage holdings at the Home Loan banks. The result has been a wave of writedowns at the Home Loan banks, undermining faith in the system.
"There were some big issues for the Federal Home Loan banks when we arrived," Lockhart said. "There are always a few growing pains."
Paul Leonard, the vice president of government affairs at the Financial Services Roundtable's housing policy council, said he expects a new National Bank Supervisor to be structured like the Finance Agency, with one division for commercial banks and another for thrifts. (The Obama administration has recommended doing away with the thrift charter, but that provision faces an uphill battle on Capitol Hill.) "We would recommend that those who have a thrift charter are grandfathered," Leonard said. "They could look at how they did the FHLBs and the GSEs when thinking of how to combine the OCC and OTS."
Perhaps the most important lesson that can be learned from the Finance Agency is that any legislation — no matter how substantial — might be worthless if it is passed too late. Though the housing legislation finally gave Lockhart power he spent years stumping for, he was forced to place Fannie and Freddie into conservatorship less than two months later.
"The GSE reform effort was done too late," said Brian Gardner, an analyst with KBW Inc. "They were given the right powers … but Congress acted too late."
Steve Blumenthal, a former deputy director at OFHEO, agreed.
"Congress passed a substantial piece of legislation that did in fact create an agency with world-class authority," he said. "Unfortunately, the conservatorship was appointed almost immediately."
The big question facing the GSEs is what will happen to them once they emerge from conservatorship, something Lockhart said could happen within a year and a half. That would also have implications for the Finance Agency itself. "If Fannie and Freddie were turned into a government agency…, you wouldn't need a third-party regulator," Petrou said.
In the end, Lockhart finds himself in a much more difficult place from a year ago, when he praised the housing legislation for creating a "world-class, empowered regulator."
He now backs away from that language. "We're creating a much stronger regulatory format," he said this week.
Dick Swanson, the chief executive of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, said everyone in the industry is adjusting to a more realistic definition of world-class.
"After the year or two that the banking and financial markets have been through," he said, "I think everyone has been humbled by what it means to be a world-class regulator."

Your lips instantly absorb this in and makes them so smooth and soft, I love to apply it more in the evening as well because it has some what of a white tint to it even when applied softly. But all in all it is great especially for the winter as well, I purchased this at my local Wal Mart for $3.50 with a coupon. Great deal for great quality!!!

The Borders welcome back four international players to their squad for tonight's tough Celtic League match against Llanelli at Netherdale.
Chris Cusiter, Bruce Douglas, Ross Ford and Iain Bethinussen all return from international duty while Tanner Vili returns from injury and steps in at full-back.
However, The Borders face more injury woes with both Paul Thomson and Kelvin Todd out with knee injuries. Kevin Utterson has also been unable to recuperate from some fluid on the knee and is forced to sit it out, passing the captaincy to Andy Rennick. Head coach Tony Gilbert said: "Llanelli are a strong side and will no doubt field their star players.
"But the Borders play with pride and this is a tremendous opportunity for each player to take on his opponent. If they can do that you can't ask any more.
"It's great to have Chris, Bruce, Ross and Iain back - they are all fit and eager to play. "
The Borders aim to spoil Llanelli's Heineken Cup quarter- final build-up just a week before they take on Biarritz Olympique.
There was disappointment for the Borders last week when they went down to Leinster at Donnybrook.
"We were well in the game until half-time, said Gilbert, "but in the second half we made mistakes and were punished. Two players were sin binned, making it very tough."
A tag rugby tournament for youngsters will form part of the build-up to tonight's game.
Eight Borders clubs will field squads of 12 youngsters, all from primary six and seven, on the back pitches from 4.30pm. The final will be played on the main pitch at Netherdale at 7pm.

Hello everyone,
Recently we bough 45 new HP desktop's. right after finishing the deployment, Many users called saying that their outlook calendar is not synchronizing with others.
Here are the steps that i followed to fix the issue:
In many cases outlook stop synchronizing because of a lose network plug, specially in environments where the cabling are badly designed.
Close and open it again. Outlook connection to the server sometimes goes idle and won't come back until you give it a kick!
Some times the IP address on the PC expires and it the DHCP request to renew it get's lost! In this case use CMD to reconfigure it again.
This is done simply by entering the following commands:
IPconfig /Release >> "Release the old IP address"
IPconfig /Renew >> "Request a new IP address"
After doing all the above the issue still persisted, So i did the following and it was fixed!
Go to Start > Right click on Computer > Manage > Device Manager > Right click on your Network Card > Properties > Power Management Tab > Uncheck "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power" > OK
We didn't have any Outlook synchronization issues since i did step 4. I think the interval that takes outlook to check for new emails is longer than the time Windows waits to turn off the network card.
Hope these steps will help somebody down the road!

By John Simpson, Business Consultant, GovDelivery Federal
Just after the new year, the Washington Post advertised a recent study showing that an increasing amount of world leaders are taking to Twitter to increase their reach to the public. While this new report from the Digital Policy Council does show a significant upward trend in the number of leaders that are leveraging Twitter, a 75% increase from 2011, the more revealing graph is the one below that highlights which country's heads of state have the largest amount of followers and supposedly the larger trend towards open government.
The Washington Post continues that "the numbers sound like a big win both for Twitter and for open government, which have gone hand-in-hand since even before the Arab Spring uprisings popularized social media as a form of civic participation in 2010."While it is undeniable that Twitter holds enormous outreach potential to a global population that is only increasing its use of social media tools, the assumption that "more leaders tweeting equals a more open society" is a misguided notion. Simply because a member of a leader's staff maintains a regular presence on Twitter does not mean that anything being communicated is new or the government is becoming increasingly transparent. Having a large amount of followers does not automatically mean that a government is lending itself more to the idea of an active dialogue with its citizens. Without proactive engagement and real participation in public discussions, social media simply becomes an avenue for leaders to spam their followers. It is also not much of an accomplishment to tout a large base of followers over other global leaders when your country already has a large, social media savvy citizenry.
Many organizations that leverage social media, both within and outside of the government, use these tools as simply a device for re-purposing the same, old information. Having a bare bones social media policy does not mean an organization can boast about being more open to the public. Tools like Twitter and Facebook were not conceived as a one-to-many tool, but as a means to connect people across the world and discuss issues relevant to them. Whether it's talking about your cousin's ugly baby photos or the organization of a protest against a tyrant, Twitter is about proactive engagement and conversations. A steady and sizable increase in global leaders communicating to their population through social media is a positive trend, but progress cannot stop there. A country's leader having a large following online doesn't mean that the country itself is moving towards a policy of open government. It's what a leader does with his or her social media megaphone that matters.

Dorm is literally one of the best anchors in the game. Great X-factor, great ability ot hit two characters, amazing supers, great chip, great mixups, good mobility.
He's the complete package. He even has good health.
My 2 main teams right now are zero(srk)/vergil(rapid slash)/doom(beam) my main issue with this team is that my zero isnt that good yet and im mainly eating up time which isnt good with doom as my anchor since hes free to keepaway. I do think that if i give zero another month thisll be my best team.
My other team is doom(missiles)/Vergil(srk)/sent(drones) this is my strongest team. mainly due to the fact that dooms my best character however he is also the downfall of the team. aaing and neutral contol is the issue
Most of all Dormammu has Tod dark spell combos which builds a bar, and saves your meter for chip kill usage etc in XF.
What do you guys think about Wesker/Ryu/???, who should I have as an anchor? Keep in mind I'm a beginner looking for an easier character.
Awesome. I will stick with him then. Thanks for the info. I am pretty new to these things so I appreciate any advice and opinions of veteran players.
Looking to get as much feedback as possible on the current team I have going on.
Ghost Rider (Chain of Rebutal)/Nova (Centurion Rush)/Doctor Doom (Hidden Missiles)
Any and all feedback is needed and greatly appreciated.
So I've been looking to make a team completely focused on Strider on point but the problem is I only like a set amount of characters in this game and I just can't seem to find a team that would be decent
Characters I like : Wolverine, Arthur, Rocket Raccoon, Captain America, Spidey, and Shuma Gorath, and possibly ammy.
any suggestions for teams and assists would be greatly appreciated since Im VERY new to the MvC competitive scene.
Just wanted to drop in and say that you guys are doing an excellent job in here. Keep up with the positive discussion and knowledgeable advice!!
hmmm… you seem to be the go to guy for this. i'm having trouble finding a third for my team.
chun (legs) sent (drones) (?)
finding an anchor is harder for me than i thought. my current picks for anchor are: felicia,arthur,hawkeye,ironman, maaaaybe task or chris. basically i want a beam assist in the 3rd slot… hawkeye would be perfect but his assist is duckable on some of the cast which really kills some of my game with how i want to use him (watch flashmetroid versus ryan hunter and see how storm ducking under hawkeyes assist when strange crossup teleported gave ryan some frustrations)
any thoughts from you or anybody else would be appreciated.
I would pick Akuma over Ryu for assist spot. Akuma's tatsu goes through projectiles (and damn near everything else lol), and he's a much better anchor than Ryu is. I'm not too sure about the synergy between Spidey and Dorm. You can do cool stuff like Maximum Spider, DHC to Stalking Flare, tag Spiderman back in, do another Maximum Spider if you want to burn all your meter, but I don't think their assists really help each other out. For Spiderman I'd rather have a more traditional projectile assist (I assume you're using Dark Hole) like Doom's beam, but then obviously you don't have Dorm. If you're looking for a good battery to build meter for him, you can't go wrong with Wesker. Dark Hole can be used for Wesker relaunches, or hold a character in place for a mixup. You could also kind of use Tatsu for the same purpose (especially in the corner). And if you've got Dorm on point, Wesker's gunshot assist can be used for easymode relaunches, or easy unblockables especially in conjunction with teleport.
I don't know much about Strange, but I can help a little with Jill. Examples of assists that help Jill out would be (in no particular order):
-Something to help get in (A projectile like beams or drones or something like Tatsu)
-Lockdown for mixups and such (Cold Star, Jam Session, to a lesser extent Shopping Cart and
Akuma Tatsu, drones once again)
-Something to cover the skies (Vajra, Hidden Missiles, Jam Session)
-OTG (not really as important as the other ones, but can give Jill a lot more options)
-There are several assists that can fill more than one role
Easiest ways of getting in with Jill would be call assist, feral dash or arrow kick>feral cancel. I used Plasma Beam but I've switched to Taskmaster arrows (duh that's his only assist) as I've recently picked up the character, and his new colors are pretty sick lol. There really isn't much Jill can do about characters who like to stay up high other than random machineguns, so in some matchups an assist to deal with this stuff will be crucial. Hidden Missiles is pretty good, but then you'd be missing out on Plasma Beam, which is Doom's best assist for her IMO. Vajra is good, but I have no idea how to use Strider effectively, and all you can get off of it is 263A anyway, so I prefer Jam Session. Jam Session also lets you set up mixups, and Jill has some retarded-ass mixups. As for OTG, like I said before it isn't really necesarry, because you can do MGS>DHC or a THC, whichever is better for your team setup. A little meter expensive but it works. With an OTG assist you can get much better damage at the end of combos, and combo off of Jill's airthrows. Wesker's gunshot is the best OTG assist for Jill; it comes out quickly, hits low for unblockables, doesn't use your ground bounce or anything, and you get to use dumbfuck Albert himself as anchor.
My Jill team in Vanilla was Jill(Arrow Kick)/Ammy(Cold Star)/Doom(Plasma Beam), and right now it's Jill(Flip Kick or Cartwheel Kick or whatever it's called now), Taskmaster(Horizontal Arrows) and Wesker (gunshot). Jill's best assist by far is the flash kick, fully invincible as a crossover counter, but using the ground bounce flip lets me get better combos with Tasky and Alby.
Wrote a lot more than I intended lol, hope some of it helps.
Currently, I've been messing around with Wesker(lower shot), Vergil(judgement cut), and Strider (Vajra)
Although Vajra gives be quite a bit of vertical breathing room for vergil and uncle wesky, I still feel the team is rather lacking. I took the trio online (with a respectable 10-3 W/L) to find that I'm severely lacking in the combo extension department. Vergil can function fine on his lonesome, but wesker doesn't have as many solo combo options (at least none that a mid-level execution player like myself is aware of).
Do you guys have any suggestions that would benefit my wesker on point? Thoughts about Strider as an anchor? Team swaps?
Here are some characters that I've been in the lab with, all of which I'm proficient enough with to switch in if need be:
I'm trying to put together a team that excels at zoning the other player out. After much testing I have found that most of the time I do a pretty good job of keeping the enemy out but not so much at rushing in (I mean I do the Vergil teleport + Drones, but that is pretty basic). I would like to know which characters have a strong zoning potential and assists that would help them.
Arthur, Chris, Doom, Hawkeye, Rocket, Strange, Taskmaster, Trish imo have the most effective zoning tools. The key is figuring out what angles your character covers well, then choose an assist that fills in the blanks. In general Doom Missiles are a great assist since they automatically cover whatever angle your opponent is approaching from and have the added benefit of a Doom in the backseat since he's a strong candidate for XF3.
Outside of that I'd say that Hawkeye would be the best option on-point since he has the most practical options and is capable of covering multiple angles on his own. For second I'd recommend Taskmaster. His horizontal arrows are fast, strong, and give Hawkeye the freedom to shoot his arrows everywhere else.
EDIT: Fuck me, did I just make Honzogonzo's team?
Don't forget Deadpool. His zoning beats a lot of other people's, and it only got better in Ultimate.
I really need some help and ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. I play a Wolvie/?/Wesker team (in that order) my pressure with Wolvie is pretty solid. Wesker is a great OTG assist char and a great anchor. But I have absolutely no idea who to use in my second slot, i would really like a mediocre character that helps me get in with Wolvie, or mix up my opponent. I gave Frank West a shot, shopping cart was good but i didnt like having to work for his levels and all that. Any suggestions guys?
Hey what do you guys think about Super Skrull/Sentinel/Storm? I likethe synergy but I'm not sure if they can back eachother up enough to be a good team.
I'm currently running Cap/PW/Dorm. It's a PW team (as is EVERY team w/PW), but I like the synergy between Cap/Dorm so much that I want to replace PW. Any thoughts on who it should be?
hi all, i'm somewhat new to the fighting game scene (i only started when Vanilla mvc3 came out) and i was hoping for some feedback:
my team right now is Nova (barrier assist)/Doom (plasma beam)/Wesker (gun shot).
and before you all start hating on me because i use wesker, i wanna just say that i chose him day 1 in Vanilla, before i knew he was any good or anything. he was actually why i bought the game (saw him on trailers on youtube) anyway, your thoughts on my team?
Also Chris/Trish/Hawkeye for a keepaway team.
Argh, I've tried so many characters in the 2nd slot for my team Wesker/X/Taskmaster, but I haven't found the best fit yet. I've tried: Doom, Hawkeye, Spencer, Dormammu, Vergil, Firebrand, and more. I really want to make Spencer work as he works really well with the others on the team, but I have trouble with the timing on his grapples and air to ground moves, especially online.
I currently have Wesker on point and Task as anchor as I use Taks's horizontal assist + Wesker's teleports for mixups, and Task makes for a good anchor on his own plus if he gets hit he can get some red health back. I typically want a 2nd slot to have a strong mixup/teleport that can take advantage of Task's assist, do a lot of damage, and can DHC into Task too. I'm open to switching up my team order, as Task on point and Wesker anchor is awesome too. All of the characters I use seem like they make perfect points, seconds, or anchors, so it makes it tough.
At the moment, I'm probably best with Wesker/Doom/Taskmaster or Wesker/Hawkeye/Taskmaster. Doom's plasma beam is good with Wesker but it scales the damage a ton, and I use Hawkeye's poison arrow to extend Wesker's combos and do good damage. However, I'm still not very good when Hawkeye and Doom come out as I think their movement is a little awkward… feels clunky and floaty to me still.
So what do you guys think the strongest team and team order that involves Wesker and Taskmaster with someone else? Not that I'm not good at the game, but characters with simpler timing would be nice. I'm considering trying Zero/Wesker/Taskmaster, but again, for some reason the whole concept of charging his buster the whole time is counter-intuitive to how I've ever played fighting games (never played a character where I had to hold down buttons and do other stuff). Ghost Rider seems to fit good with Task assist, but Wesker's assist doesn't really seem to do much for him. Sentinel drones are always good, but they don't seem to do much for Wesker when it comes to extending combos, and it's hard to open people up with Sentinel when he comes out. I think Dormammu is great, but his assists aren't the best… I've tried him on point and it's been relatively successful. ARGH! Just rambling now. Opinions on the strongest character with relatively easy execution to pair with Wesker and Task?

While many cities are cracking down on cigar bars and lounges, there are still plenty of places to smoke throughout Las Vegas. With so many smoker-friendly trade shows and conventions occurring in Vegas each year—from the Tobacco Plus Expo in the winter to the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association show (IPCPR) in the summer—knowing where exactly you can go to not only purchase a great cigar, but also to smoke it without many restrictions is important. Here are a few places throughout Las Vegas where you can enjoy your stogie.
In Caesars Palace, the Montecristo Cigar Bar is one of Vegas' newest cigar bars [Located in Caesars Palace | 3570 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89109 | (866) 227-5938]. Barely a year old, the Montecristo Cigar Bar is a 100-seat bar, lounge and gaming area that offers visitors a place to enjoy a selection of libations and small bites in a 4,000-square-foot space. In addition to offering plenty of seating in its lounge areas where you can enjoy a cigar, smaller gatherings can be held in the bar's Vault Room. The walk-in humidor is stocked with a selection of familiar brands, including Romeo y Julieta, Ashton, Montecristo and Rocky Patel, among many others. With more than 135 different bourbons and whiskeys, Montecristo Cigar Bar has a lot of offer for any person or group of people looking for a place to relax and spend their leisure time.
"Here you can game, you can drink, you can smoke, and you can eat. In most places, you can only do a few of those," says Chelsea Ryder, public relations manager at Caesars Entertainment Corporation. "People can camp out here. It's a nice, secluded space."
If you want to get away from the gaming aspect of Vegas but still want to be in the middle of the action, there's Casa Fuente, also located within Caesars Palace [Located in The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace | 3570 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89109 | (702) 731-5051 | casafuente.com]. Casa Fuente has been a destination for many cigar enthusiasts since it opened in 2005. Though it only carries Fuente products, its spirits selection is worth stopping in for as well—we definitely recommend trying a mojito while you're here. According to Michael Fayerverger, Casa Fuente's general manager, 100,000 people from around the world pass by this Vegas cigar destination on any given day.
"We're in the most expensive mall in the country. We get all types of people: male, female, young, old. They walk in, they relax, have a nice drink and will have a cigar. We've become a destination spot," says Fayerverger. "There are plenty of machines out on the strip. You don't have to worry about gambling here just come in and relax."
If you are looking for a place to enjoy a cigar and a drink that comes with a view, head to the Davidoff of Geneva Cigar Bar at Fashion Show shopping mall [3200 S. Las Vegas Blvd. #1245, Las Vegas, NV 89109 | (702) 473-5001 | davidoffcigarbarlv.com]. Located alongside the famed Las Vegas Strip, the Davidoff of Geneva Cigar Bar isn't like many of the cigar bars you'll find in Vegas. Encased in glass with a fully stocked bar as the center focus of the lounge area, a walk-in humidor modeled after a curing barn and an outside lounge area, this business caters to those who are looking for hard-to-find cigars that are a bit more high-end.
"When we did our initial market research after being open for 60 days, we saw that cigars over $40 and the high-end cigars were what we sold most," reveals Rich Wilson, assistant general manager and cigar ambassador at the cigar bar. "We already had a tremendous amount of high-end stuff, but as soon as we saw that was the trend we started pushing to find even more and make sure that we had it, because if you could get the stuff in along these margins, then why wouldn't you want to do that?"
In planning the launch of the bar, those at Davidoff wanted to align it with the company's overall brand and motto, which is "time beautifully filled." When thinking of what kind of clientele they wanted the cigar bar to attract, they decided it was those who wanted the highest echelon of not only cigars but spirits as well. Since its opening over a year ago, Davidoff has attracted those patrons and also seen many of them become repeat customers.
Finally, where do the Vegas locals like to smoke? Ed Munn, owner of Dig This Las Vegas, recommended En Fuego Cigars & Lounge [328 W. Sahara Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89102 |
(702) 384-9262 | enfuegolasvegas.com]. Reviewers of En Fuego have described it as comfortable, relaxing and welcoming. Noted as having a knowledgeable and friendly staff and great customer service, En Fuego is another great lounge for cigar enthusiasts to visit during any trip to Las Vegas.

If I by the Willie Nelson cd today I will see a picture of a man whose face shows his state of being at the time any of his album covers was created. It gives his fans a piece of him, though superficially, yet revealing of the current health and feeling. It is art. When Kanye West releases an album in twenty years it will be nearly identical to his photo at 25. No need to say anymore then. Whereas Nelson is a living part of his art. West merely talks about art, culture, fame without being a part of it. An album cover would just be mundane at that point.
