COLUMBUS — The Golden Triangle Regional Airport is undergoing a major renovation project with the help of a grant.
WTVA TV reports a total of 171 yards of concrete were put down in about 3 1/2 hours yesterday morning.
This will provide a base for asphalt to be put on the entrances and exits in and out of the taxiways.
The entire taxi way will be repaved once the entrances and exits to the taxiways have been widened.
The airport will be able to accommodate larger aircraft once renovations are completed.
All of the renovations are expected to be fully completed by the first of the year.
A $3.4-million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Mississippi Department of Transportation is paying for the renovations.

22 April 1994 55 mins

Every chef has a few kitchen gadgets they just can't do without. From ergonomic vegetable peelers to multi-tasking microplanes, having the right cooking utensils is key in any cook's kitchen. We asked the Superdiners what item would they never be without when preparing their favorite dishes?
Brandon Hernandez, food writer (Twitter @offdutyfoodie): A multitasker up to nearly any task I throw at it, my trusty chef's knife is like an extension of myself. Its blade has sliced through my fingers, its handle has worn calluses into my hands, yet I love and appreciate it more than anything in my kitchen arsenal.
Susan Russo, food writer, cookbook author (Twitter @Susan_Russo): My chef's knife.
Joanne Bautista, human resources professional, avid Yelper, avid diner: It all starts with a good knife! We took a day trip up to L.A. with our sushi chef buddy, Myles, to check out the goods at Japanese Knife Imports … in Beverly Hills. He wanted to get us a nice knife as our wedding gift, but wanted to make sure we had a good feel of the knife rather than just picking one out for us. The owner, Jon Broida, supplies these awesome knives to many chefs in SoCal and he certainly knows his stuff. Have the patience to spend at least an hour in his store, but it's pretty cool that he will not upsell you and will educate you on what knife works best for your needs. … The knife is pretty awesome and I use it ALL the time. Mahalo Myles!
Gerald "Dex" Poindexter, marketing director, EAT at The Pearl Hotel (Twitter @SuperdinerDex): That food scraper thing — what's it called? I think it's called a "food scraper thing." Basically, it's just a rubber wedge on a stick — freaking genius! I use it for stirring sauces, scrambling eggs and cooking omelets. I can't do without it.
Chris Buffin, executive chef at The Bridges: My favorite tool is a fine grater or microplane. Whether I use it to zest citrus for a marinade or finish a dish with a great hard cheese, the microplane is my "can't live without" kitchen tool.
Tina Luu, pastry chef, food lecturer at the Art Institute of California: The one piece of equipment that has rocked my world for the last couple of years is a paddle attachment for my vertical Hobart mixer called The BeaterBlade H-20 from New Metro Design. Imagine creaming butter and sugar and never once having to stop and scrape down the sides! The blades on the sides of the paddle smoothly clean the sides of the bowl with each revolution. It aerates like a dream, delivers consistent results, it's easy to clean and the selling point for me: it shaves my mixing time by 50 percent. What took me six minutes to mix takes only three minutes with as good as or better results. Labor is always an issue in the kitchen, so anything that helps my labor is my friend. For those of us who do not have 20-quart vertical mixers in our home kitchens, they make BeaterBlades for stand mixers like KitchenAid.
Charles Kaufman, baker, owner of Bread & Cie Cafe (Twitter @BreadAndCie): When I cook in my friend's otherwise perfect kitchen, he has the absolute worst knives in life. Fashioned of some metal that refuses to keep an edge. Jeez. Drives me nuts. For his birthday, I got me — I mean him — ceramic knives. For home and simplicity, I'm a total ceramic convert. Easy breezy. Ceramic keeps its edge much longer than metal (and with all the color choices you can look "flash" slicing and dicing). Warning: Ceramic can chip in storing or washing if you're not careful. Kyocera is my brand of choice. Send the knife with return postage and they'll maintain and repair them for free. Forever. Come to think of it, anyone know if they plan to offer a Kyocera life? Love to get my life repaired and my mind sharpened whenever it gets dull.
Gary Schons, local prosecutor: A decent chef's knife. It has been said that "A man cooking is the excuse for the $300 knife." And to that I must plead guilty. I have long had a relatively inexpensive 8-inch Wüsthof, part of a set, which is light and holds a decent blade. But its everyday utility did not stop me from dropping about $200 for a talismanic 10-inch Global G-16. I found the Global too heavy and too long, so I gave it to my son, a trained chef. He was delighted, and I am back to my light, little Wüsthof.
Jeff Josenhans, director of beverage outlets and sommelier at U.S. Grant Hotel: This is an easy one — large, long kitchen tweezers. A lot of chefs I know or knew would keep them in their pocket at all times. You can precision work with them or replace the spatula pretty much entirely at times. Global is the brand of choice.
Fabrice Poigin, private chef, restaurant consultant: Being from France I can honestly say that I would be lost without my wooden handle Peltex spatula! It is better than tongs by far and much more delicate for handling fish.
Ricardo Heredia, chef consultant: Besides my knives, of course, everyone in my kitchen knows my favorite tool is my blow torch. Everything from killing flies to making a sunny side egg in 30 seconds. Yep I said killing flies — the most sanitary and efficient way to eliminate my least favorite insect has become quite the pastime.
Andrew Spurgin, chef, bespoke event styling & menu design: I'm good with a great knife, a sound pan and a Vitamix XL. That baby will make practically anything smooth as silk.
David Salisbury, a law firm's director of business development, avid diner: All you need to do is look at any cooking utensil catalog as well as walk the aisles of your local Willams-Sonoma or Sur La Table to realize that there is a cooking gadget for any task in the kitchen. I can't argue that these wonderful inventions make life much easier but there comes a point of excess. … That being said, I'm going back to basics and if you have a quality sharp knife or knives, well-made cutting board, numerous mixing bowls in various sizes and some great pots/pans, you can create most recipes. I have to admit though that unlike some of my fellow Superdiners, I really don't cook much and have been much more of a consumer, so my best culinary tool would be OpenTable for reservations since that's what I usually make for dinner.

Hey guys, im doing a project for school and need a bit of help.
I need to know from anyone in a design or art university or college from anywhere in the world:
Do you feel that your school has any sort of school spirit and why?
so i guess i can start:
School: OCAD (toronto, canada)
School spirit?: None at all
Why?: because there are alota students, nobody gets to know one another very well. also the school has no residence for out of town students so most students come to school for class and leave right after. no sports teams, few clubs, the school makes tshirts etc but the "non conformist" views of the students prevent them from wearing it (thats some think anyway lol).
thats it, appreciate any help, thanks in advance

The other day I noticed that I had 34 drafts (posts that were never published) and I read through them all. I published one yesterday that was from two years ago, and now seems almost like another lifetime ago. My girls were so little and they still are and I love them to pieces. But I might like to lend them out for an afternoon, that respite sure sounded nice.
I have been playing around with my photographs on a few apps, and I am loving it. I look forward to re-creating a photo every chance I can get. I am using Snapseed now, do you have a favorite photography app?
I am also very excited to have finally purchase a new pair of glasses. Here is a photo I took with my old pair, when I get used to my new ones I'll post a pic. It wasn't until I was 40 that I started to wear my glasses full time in public. It started with these glasses. I liked them. They changed my life. But, back when I was fourteen, there was no liking them or any glasses. You see, I feel in love with a boy named Muffy Mayo, (not his real name but one he'd answer to) he told me that if I ditched the glasses he'd go out with me. I had no choice. I begged and pleaded with my Mother until she bought me a pair. They changed my life. But it didn't changed Muffy's mind, he stayed true to Bobby Jean. I went on wearing my contacts. Blue ones, green ones, and the ever so great disposable ones. I forgot all about Muffy, and his anti-eyeglass preference, and fell in love with a man that wears glasses. I married him. He got a new pair today too!

Holy Land tourism goes beyond traditional paths
For decades, the tourist industry in the Holy Land has been dominated by Israeli tour operators who rely mostly on Israeli hotel owners and land arrangement providers.

Sheik Yerbouti is a double vinyl album by Frank Zappa featuring material recorded in 1977 and 1978.
An album filled with humor, political satire, and of course, references to sex.
Released: Oct 2, 1975
Frank Zappa's "Bongo Fury" gets more into the bluesier side of Zappa.
Released: Feb 9, 1970
The album is a Zappa/Mothers album, so of course it's going to be superior that the majority of music out there.
Released: Nov 30, 1994
Civilization Phaze III is the last album of new music Frank Zappa completed before his death in December 1993.
Released: Nov 21, 1984
This album is not for close minded people, but, for people who are more or less intrigued by music and experimentation.
Freak Out! contains at least the rudiments of almost everything that followed, and few of Zappa's records can match its excitement over its own sense of possibility.
Released: Oct 10, 1969
There is a strong personality, unique melody writing and jazz this would definitely become a classic for you.
Released: Jun 25, 1975
The pinnacle of his jazz-rock work of the early '70s, One Size Fits All boasts some of the most memorable songs of Frank Zappa's career performed by one of the most beloved Mothers of Invention lineups ever assembled.
Released: Sep 7, 1973
This album gives rock a new face, and it's pretty funny.
Released: Sep 10, 1974

Released: Mar 3, 1979
Sheik Yerbouti is a double vinyl album by Frank Zappa featuring material recorded in 1977 and 1978.

Released: Aug 22, 1995
Zappa's albums often function as individual works, but this disc offers an intelligent selection of songs, serving as an introduction to the maverick musician.
Released: Apr 16, 1991
This two-CD set is the second of three albums of material Frank Zappa compiled from the 1988 tour.
Released: Aug 24, 2007
The overall sound of this album is fantastic, classic Zappa.
Released: Jan 1, 1985
This twofer CD reissue contains two 1968 albums by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
Released: Aug 10, 1970
This is definitely one of Zappa's most difficult albums.

Today, cities and countries have to cope with increasing mobility, high population density and a growing awareness of environmental threats. Sustainable area development is one of the key future challenges for planners, policy-makers and engineers. The CME ground develops scenario assessment tools, participatory strategic planning instruments and novel and interactive cost benefit analyses to support strategic decision making.
Studies focus on a variety of are projects: the transformation of cultural heritage, the integration of healthcare in area development, and multifunctional coastal defense projects. Research is aimed at generating a better understanding of public-[private partnerships and other collaborative arrangements needed to develop sustainable areas. Besides, new concepts for knowledge co-production are studied to improve the use of research for practice.

Kids Running to Help Kids Walk: The Next Generation of Innovators
Written by Scott Miller
Some cultures in developing nations see a child born with clubfoot as cursed and sometimes turn to witchcraft for a cure. Through an innovative partnership, these children are getting medical and spiritual support — and children in Eastern Lancaster County are getting an opportunity to strengthen their own bodies and enrich their souls by giving to others.
Last year, Garden Spot Village and the Lancaster Family YMCA launched the first YMCA Kids Marathon in conjunction with the Garden Spot Village Marathon. Held the night before the adult's marathon, the event gives young runners, ages 6 through 12, a chance to experience the excitement of a big race. Participants are encouraged to raise money for CURE International, a locally-based organization that delivers medical care to children with clubfoot, cleft palate, hydrocephalus, and other treatable conditions.
"Establishing regular running or exercise programs is important to help children develop healthy bodies. Developing a perspective that focuses on the importance of others' well-being is critical to becoming an emotionally health adult," says Steve Lindsey, chief executive officer at Garden Spot Village. "The focus of the CURE fund-raising option is to help children realize the positive impact that they can have on the lives of those less fortunate."
CURE has hospitals and programs around the world, including Afghanistan, the Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Niger; the Philippines, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, and Zambia. Since 1998, CURE's network of charitable hospitals and surgical programs has seen more than 2.4 million outpatients, performed more than 167,000 surgeries and trained more than 7,200 medical professionals. Last year, approximately 150 young runners participated in the event and raised $3,665 for CURE's Global Children's Fund, which serves 29 countries.
"CURE is about healing people physically and helping people spiritually," says Brant Hansen, CURE storyteller. "CURE not only heals kids for today, but we also train doctors who are nationals in the countries we serve. They're becoming wonderful doctors who can heal people for decades. Each of our hospitals is a teaching hospital, so we can multiply ourselves."
Taking an Idea and Running with it
Lindsey first encountered the concept of a kids' marathon while running in a marathon in Virginia Beach. He brought the concept back to Lancaster County, where, he says, "the YMCA had recently come to New Holland and was establishing their presence and role in our community. Their focus is on providing programs and services that enhance the spiritual, mental, and physical well-being of our community, so it seemed to be a perfect opportunity for us to join together to promote this new event."
The two organizations have "a lot of mutual mission crossover," says Jeff Kenderdine, CEO of the Lancaster Family YMCA Association. For example, bother encourage intergenerational activities. "What I like about the event is that it really takes some parent involvement and creates opportunities for families to do do things together." In the months leading up to the event, as the participants are logging their first 25 miles, adults must sign off on the entries, and "the whole family can start to adopt some of the healthier lifestyle behaviours, which is one of our core mission objectives," says Kenderdine.
The evening of the Kids Marathon, participants run the final 1.2 miles on a traffic-free course on the Garden Spot Village campus. At the finish, they come down the same runners' chute and see their time on the same clock as the runners in the big race. Each participant receives a shirt and each finisher receives a medal to commemorate the event. "Parents are able to run with their kids, if they wish, and there is a big crowd at the finish line cheering for each competitor," Lindsey says.
The moments are truly memorable. Kenerdine recalls a participant last year who had Down syndrome. "The broad appeal for anybody and everybody was evidenced by that child — seeing the joy as he crossed the finish line. His parents say he's more confident, thanks to the experience," Kenderdine says. "It's a running event, but it's not just a running event."
The event gives people who live at Garden Spot Village "lots of opportunities for an incredibly fun and inspiring evening," Lindsey says. "Whether it is volunteering or cheering, we have an opportunity to experience the fun of hundreds of children completing an important milestone in their lives. Anytime you have a chance for people with lots of wisdom and life experience to share some time with children, it's a win-win."
Looking Down the Road
Event organizers hope to see even more kids participating in this year's Kids Marathon. They continue to look at ways to improve the event and make the experience even more like an adult endurance race. The event may grow in other ways, too. "This year, we hope to encourage every Kids Marathon runner to send a get well message to a child and let them know that they will be running for their healing from across the world," says Lee Lawrence, CURE's church engagement coordinator. The "Recent Patient Updates" page of the cure.org website lets site visitors post messages that can be printed out and given to recipients in CURE's hospitals. "The Kids Marathon was a great way to raise awareness and motivate the runners to support a child with words of encouragement or fundraising. Every dollar raised goes straight to supporting CURE's mission to 'heal the sick and proclaim the Kingdom of God,'" Lawrence says. Some of the people at Garden Spot Village have talked about organizing a trip to CURE's hospital in the Dominican Republic.
Closer to home, registration fees for the Kids Marathon support YMCA programming. Participants have use of the Y as a training resource for up to five months, and families receive nutrition information. The Y promotes the event through its connections with local school districts, and Garden Spot Village provides the venue and the logistical support. Innovative collaborations like these are critical to meeting community needs today and in the future.
"Part of the culture of Garden Spot Village is not to be insular, but to be outwardly focused," Lindsey says. "The Kids Marathon is just one more example of the people of Garden Spot Village using elements of our culture — lifestyles of wellness, commitment to community, encouragement, volunteerism — to have a positive impact on the lives of people in our larger community and around the world in a fun and creative way."
We highly encourage everyone to come out to the Garden Spot Village campus and cheer on the children as they cross the finish line. Not only is it inspiring to them, but it helps those in need. Donations will be accepted to those who would like to help children in need. If you'd like to make a pledge online, please visit CURE.org/donate.
The Kids Marathon is April 10 at 6pm at 433 S. Kinzer Ave, New Holland, PA 17557. We hope to see you there. More information at the Kids Marathon Website.

Earlier this week, Passion Pit mastermind Michael Angelakos unleashed a triple threat on to the world with not one, not two but a massive three new tracks: 'Inner Dialogue', 'Somewhere Up There' and 'I'm Perfect'.
Well he's not stopping there because Michael and the crew have gifted us a fourth track, 'Moonbea'. At under a minute and a half long, this upbeat, almost ludicrously sunny instrumental cut is short but it's most definitely sweet.
The new song has once again been released via the YouTube page of The Wishart Group, the company that Michael recently set up to offer artists legal, educational and healthcare advice. All of the recent singles also have different iterations of the same artwork too. So, new Passion Pit album on the horizon then?
Listen to 'Moonbeam' below.

Minnesota News Briefs: Warm weather to continue for much of state
Most of the state got a bit of a break on Wednesday from a three-week-long hot spell, but the relief will likely be short-lived. The National Weather Service predicts daily highs will stay in the mid-80 to mid-90 range from now into early next week.
Minnesota's long, hot spell leaves Minneapolis with the second-longest run ever of daytime temperatures 85-degrees or more -- a 21-day stretch only exceeded in August of 1941. The three-week-long hot spell in St. Cloud is beat only by 26-days of 85-degrees or more back in 1936 -- and 34 days in 1921. National Weather Service forecaster Shawn DeVinny says such a stretch of high temperatures is "pretty rare." But DeVinny says despite very muggy overnight lows on several days -- most notably the 4th of July -- Minnesota did not come close to breaking any records in that category.
The latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows increasingly dry conditions throughout the state. The worst drought right now is in northwestern and southern Minnesota with western areas of the state also much drier than normal. Many of Minnesota's major crops are suffering in these conditions. Some rain across the lower half of the state on Wednesday helped a bit but commodity broker Tim Roth says, for soybeans, rain is needed earlier in the season. He thinks farmers could end up with a "decent" bean crop but that depends on weather patterns changing for the better over the coming weeks -- something that just can't be predicted.
June's Minnesota unemployment numbers remained unchanged at 5.6 percent for the third straight month, while employers added 7,200 jobs. State labor analyst Steve Hine says this comes after officials revised numbers for previous months, with job losses now greater than originally reported. He says between March and May the state lost 56-hundred jobs, so a 7,200 job gain in June was a welcome respite. Job gains were led by professional and business services, which added over five-thousand jobs. Leisure and hospitality lost 2,300 jobs and is at its lowest level in ten years.
Minneapolis police sergeant David Clifford is due in court today, charged with first-degree assault after an incident in June. Prosecutors say the SWAT team leader punched Brian Vander Lee in an Andover restaurant while the Ramsey man was using his cell phone. Clifford was off-duty at the time. It left Vander Lee temporarily on life support and he has undergone three surgeries since the incident.
Police in Minneapolis are still looking for suspects but add that the public is not at risk, after a fatal shooting on the city's southside on Wednesday A 24-year-old man was found dead in a house along with another man who was seriously wounded. Police say they are looking for more than one suspect and think the victim was targeted.
Authorities have identified the body of a man found burned in a car in Rice County. Officials used dental records to identify 45-year-old Michael Fraser who lived in the Northfield area. The body was discovered Sunday in rural Cannon City Township. Toxicology results are still pending, and authorities have not yet determined cause of death.
There's reaction now from officials from a southern Minnesota hog producer after the release of a video alleging abusive practices. CFO of Christensen Farms Glen Stolt of Sleepy Eye says the video doesn't give a complete picture of what goes on in hog production and "based on independent outside review, I think there's enough documentation that would suggest that it wasn't in any violation of any laws or any industry practices." The short video, hosted by Bob Barker, was secretly filmed by the group Mercy For Animals and shows pigs in gestation crates -- which have come under fire from animal rights activists due to their small size.
A central Minnesota hospital is dealing with a death investigation unlike others -- from a single gunshot wound inside one of its rooms. Reports say a 68-year old Rush City man killed himself in a single-occupancy room at Fairview Lakes Medical Center in Wyoming on Wednesday. There were no other injuries and entrances that were locked-down have since reopened. Police say the man had checked himself in on Tuesday.
Police in Minneapolis police are still looking for suspects but add that the public is not at risk, after a fatal shooting on the city's southside on Wednesday. A 24-year old man was found dead in a house along with another man who was seriously wounded. Police say they are looking for more than one suspect and think the victim was targeted.
There's a training exercise again tonight (6-8pm) at Delano High School high school and other locations around Delano as emergency responders learn more about how to react to a simulated incident in a high school chemistry lab. Kevin Reed with the state Department of Homeland Security says agencies from the local all the way up to the federal level will participate. Reed says emergency responders will also be able to use some of the information in situations involving meth labs, homemade explosives or biological agents.
You still have time to donate to your local food shelf and help them compete for matching dollars in the third-annual "Food Shelf 100-thousand Dollar Challenge." Arna Yetter with Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless says the effort is especially important because summer is normally a time when donations are down -- and some 250,000 kids home from school are not getting free meals. She says summer can be a tough time for families who are living paycheck-to-paycheck. The food shelf challenge runs through July 31st.
A major Minnesota drug-testing lab has been closed because its credibility has been questioned. St. Paul Police Chief Thomas Smith says his department will review and reorganize leadership at the St. Paul police crime lab in light of testimony exposing poor, undocumented work practices. Several defense attorneys will challenge convictions based on the lab's work in cases in Ramsey, Washington and Dakota counties. Besides the St. Paul lab, the B-C has two drug labs, one also in St. Paul and one in Bemidji.
Political and legal gyrations continue in Minnesota over the two proposed constitutional amendments scheduled to be on the ballot this fall. While the state Supreme Court considers a request by the ACLU to throw out the ballot question on the proposed voter photo-ID constitutional amendment, there's a court hearing in a week-and-a-half on a lawsuit against Secretary of State Mark Ritchie over the proposed marriage amendment. A group of Republican lawmakers wants the heading printed above the question on the ballot to read "Recognition of marriage solely between one man and one woman." Ritchie wants it to say "Limiting the status of marriage to opposite sex couples." Meanwhile, two Republican lawmakers say they'll sue Ritchie over the title he wants printed above the ballot question on the voter photo-ID amendment.
More than 220 bicyclists are part of the 2012 Red Ribbon Ride that kicked off this morning at the Mall of America. Executive director Theresa Fetsch says it's the tenth year they've raised money for the fight against HIV/AIDS. It's a four-day, nearly 300-mile ride that benefits eight AIDS service organizations in Minnesota. Overnight stops are in Lake City tonight, Rochester Friday and Northfield on Saturday. This year's fundraising goal is $450,000.

Greetings from Business Analyst World Chicago
I'm really here! I'm presenting one of my favorites, "Room to Breathe: The BA's Role in Setting Realistic Budget & Schedule Estimates," at Business Analyst World Chicago.
My goal is to get Business Analysts to consider taking ownership of early-lifecycle effort (cost) and schedule estimates. Here's why:
- Cost and schedule are often primary nonfunctional requirements; we've been trained not to think that way, and that's a mistake.
- Unrealistic cost and especially schedule expectations remain a primary cause of project failure; by the time a Project Manager is on scene, these expectations have often hardened.
- The Business Analyst role is becoming more holistic and value-focused, and it's impossible to assess value without assessing cost and schedule.
I'll also be teaching an early-lifecycle estimation technique that can be used even when very little is known. And I'll be introducing some presentation and negotiation skills that focus the conversation on scope, where it belongs.

DocumentationMathematicaThe Mathematica BookPrinciples of MathematicaTransformation Rules and Definitions
2.5.13 Advanced Topic: Manipulating Value Lists
Finding and setting values of symbols.
Mathematica effectively stores all definitions you give as lists of transformation rules. When a particular symbol is encountered, the lists of rules associated with it are tried.
Under most circumstances, you do not need direct access to the actual transformation rules associated with definitions you have given. Instead, you can simply use lhs = rhs and lhs =. to add and remove rules. In some cases, however, you may find it useful to have direct access to the actual rules.
Here is a definition for f.
In[1]:= f[x_] := x^2
This gives the explicit rule corresponding to the definition you made for f.
In[2]:= DownValues[f]
Notice that the rules returned by DownValues and UpValues are set up so that neither their left- nor right-hand sides get evaluated. The left-hand sides are wrapped in HoldPattern, and the rules are delayed, so that the right-hand sides are not immediately evaluated.
As discussed in Section 2.5.6, Mathematica tries to order definitions so that more specific ones appear before more general ones. In general, however, there is no unique way to make this ordering, and you may want to choose a different ordering from the one that Mathematica chooses by default. You can do this by reordering the list of rules obtained from DownValues or UpValues.
Here are some definitions for the object g.
In[3]:= g[x_ + y_] := gp[x, y] ; g[x_ y_] := gm[x, y]
This shows the default ordering used for the definitions.
In[4]:= DownValues[g]
This reverses the order of the definitions for g.
In[5]:= DownValues[g] = Reverse[DownValues[g]]

Lucian Build Guide by DKims
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

Lucian Build
Starting Items
First Back
Offensive Items
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Lucian with this build
|Vayne is extremely easy to lane against, especially in the early game. Vayne is a pretty late game champion and the 4.10 patch made her pretty weak. Lucian on the other hand has a pretty strong early game and laning phase. The only thing you should worry about is her tumble. Vayne can dodge a Lucian Q easily with her tumble.
Screw that! We're in 4.12 now (as of July 16, 2014). However the Build is still the same, so don't worry, you won't have to change anything there. Instead I'm focusing this update on the skills. (Gameplay section)
Starting Items
Starting with what this guide was made for, the first items you should buy are Doran's Blade, a Health Potion and one Warding Totem. You could start off with a Long Sword, a Health Potion and Mana Potion, but the Doran's Blade gives you 70 health and 3% lifesteal. Obviously, this isn't a lot but it is better than nothing. As long you don't spam your abilities you don't have to say, "oom" at level 3.
First and Second Back
Moving on to the first back, you should AT LEAST have a Vampiric Scepter, a Long Sword and one Health Potion. The extra pots are for staying in lane longer but they aren't necessary.
After your first back, on your second back (hopefully this is your second back and not fourth) you should have enough to get a Bilgewater Cutlass and one Dagger. If you can get a second Dagger, get one, however if that is not an option just get a few Health Potion and Mana Potion.
Core Items
Your first item should be a Blade of the Ruined King. I'll explain all of the details later. The second item should a Youmuu's Ghostblade and your final core item is Berserker's Greaves. Make sure that you build them IN THIS ORDER.
Core Items Explanation and Order
As said in the introduction, this guide is to find replacements for the old builds ( The Bloodthirster, Trinity Force,etc.) Blade of the Ruined King is your first replacement. The Bloodthirster just doesn't do enough damage anymore because of its nerf. Yes, it does have 10 more AD than the previous one, however it does not stack or scale anymore. Blade of the Ruined King does not scale either and it certainly does not have as much attack damage as The Bloodthirster, however the active on it should give a big damage output for the early game (as long as you don't forget to use the active). It also has enough life steal to last you in lane with only one Health Potion (unless you get ganked or do something stupid). The Blade of the Ruined King is not good enough alone however, so your second item should be a Youmuu's Ghostblade. This gives you a Critical Strike Chance pretty early and armor penetration. This is good for people with more health than you (so basically, everybody). Make sure you use the active with your Blade of the Ruined King because you'll have extra damage from activating Blade of the Ruined King and then extra attack speed from Youmuu's Ghostblade(good for your ult, it gives extra shots). Your last core item should be Berserker's Greaves. Sometimes its good to get this early since it gives extra attack speed and movement speed (like most adc's, Lucian is not that fast compared to a lot of other champions. You can say otherwise, but it's true). The movement speed should help you get away more easily from champions like Skarner in the mid game so that you don't get picked off from the ground and dragged to the enemy team.
Offensive Items
The order of your offensive items can vary. If you don't need the extra critical strike chance, and need armor penetration for tanks (let's say the enemy has a lot of health, which is certainly more than yours), get a Last Whisper over the Infinity Edge. However if the other team is kind of squishy get an Infinity Edge first and then decide between a Last Whisper and Phantom Dancer. Again the order can vary here too. The Phantom Dancer gives extra movement speed, crit chance, and attack speed. You can also move through unitsmove through units, which makes you harder to chase. However, if the enemy team is somewhat tanky and troublesome, GET YOUR Last Whisper (Let's pretend you got your Infinity Edge earlier than expected). The armor penetration should stack with the Youmuu's Ghostblade so you have more armor pen.
Optional Items
I didn't include any defensive items because the aforementioned items should be your final items, however I did include some optional items. The Bloodthirster is still good for the late game because of the overhealing passive, lifesteal and attack damage. This can be a replacement for the Phantom Dancer, just in case you need more health (I guess this makes The Bloodthirster a defensive item). The Zephyr is actually not recommended because to me it seems like a waste of time ( Phantom Dancer is better IMO), however it is there just in case you want to build it because of the extra movement speed. The last item in this build guide is the Statikk Shiv. This can be a replacement to the Infinity Edge if you aren't doing very well mid game. Again this is only if you are building slowly. You can sell the Statikk Shiv later on to get extra gold and maybe finish the Infinity Edge or you can just keep it.
One last thing. GET Berserker's Greaves - Alacrity OR Berserker's Greaves - Homeguard. If you are winning and need to get to the enemy base faster, get Alacrity. This gives you more movement speed overall and not just in your own base. You can also run from others more easily if you need to. Berserker's Greaves - Homeguard should only be for losing situations. If the enemy team is at your base and you need to get to your outer turret to save it (with the rest of your team), Berserker's Greaves - Homeguard should help. I've seen so many people get Berserker's Greaves - Homeguard instead of Berserker's Greaves - Alacrity in winning situations and not have the ability to run away if they make a mistake in the team fight. In the same way I have seen people take Alacrity even though the enemy is almost always at our Inhibitor Turret. They usually can't get to the turret fast enough to join the rest of the team and end up losing the turret. (Just FYI: I used Berserker's Greaves enchantments just as an example. For the people that don't know, the same enchantments found on Berserker's Greaves are found on every pair of boots in League of Legends, and unfortunately not in the Nike Store).
I just took the standard rune page because not everybody has every single rune. The armor penetration should help a little if you don't have an early Last Whisper. If you want an alternative you can take health seals and one life steal quint.
For masteries, I took 21-9-0. The Offense tree is a standard 21 points. Some people take utility masteries instead of defensive masteries. The utility points don't help much because 5 movement speed is not really something to brag about and the mana regeneration is not enough to help you stay in lane since you use up most of your mana in one combo and two abilities. Also the CDR should not even be taken considering you can't use more mana than you have, which is not very much. Instead take Defensive points so that you gain more health in the beginning of the game and some armor and magic resist (again, it's not something to brag about).
Skill Sequence
With the Ardent Blaze nerf, it isn't as useful anymore. The extra damage is still helpful but it doesn't show how great it is during your full combo anymore. Also, as Lucian your main source of damage is Piercing Light and maybe your passive so you should be maxing that Q. The rest of the points should be obvious so no explanation needed.
Farming/Gameplay (ranked and normals)
Farming with Lucian is not as easy as other adc's. It's pretty easy, however, since you are the adc. For the beginning of the game (until level 6) just farm and try not to play aggressively.
Damaging Your Opponent
Previously, I said to use your q to bully your opponent and e to escape or get closer. It's still the same (I know, why waste your time right?). However now your range on Piercing Light is 500 (from 550, correct me if I'm wrong). That's actually not something to look over. The shortened range is the difference between killing your opponent through minions or being 20 units short. The good thing though is, minions do not reduce damage on Piercing Light anymore. So shorter range, more damage.
The best thing about Lucian now? It's his Relentless Pursuit. The 40% cooldown reduction is massive and gives him an extreme amount of mobility. It doesn't use mana anymore, has almost a 10 second cooldown at max points (which means a lot), always activates your passive and closes the gap for Piercing Light. That is a lot of damage coming from one person (even for an adc it's stupid). At full build, I can take down a tank with one q and the rest are auto attack passives from Relentless Pursuit(around 4 autos). The mobility given to Lucian is ridiculous and gives tons of damage (see what I did there) output for Lucian.
At this point, there's no reason for a combo guide. Sure it would be useful to include one but now it won't do anything. You don't even have to pull off a full skill combo anymore, unless it's pre-7 thru 10. After level 11, the mobility becomes ridiculous, Ardent Blaze becomes obsolete, and everything becomes auto attack reliant (which is why the build is so good right now. The attack speed will help with killing opponents easily).
To be honest, I had no idea what I was gonna write for this guide to update it. Riot said that Lucian was getting nerfed (which he sort of did) on his range to give him a weakness. Yes, it is obvious that Caitlyn will be a massive jerk in lane now but his "nerf" didn't do much for other adc's. In fact, it's now harder to lane against Lucian for adc's without huge amounts of range or escapes.
I was really disappointed when I found out about the Lucian changes. I thought he would be weaker than ever because of his range. I was wrong and now I'm disappointed in Riot. Lucian is stronger than ever and has an extreme amount of kill potential. No matter how much I like playing as Lucian, I have to say that Riot messed up if they were trying to nerf him.
Riot. When you nerf someone, do it properly. Giving an already high mobility champion more mobility and a 40% cooldown reduction on a mobility skill is not nerfing. That's just creating a new tier on it's own (higher than god tier).
Anyway, this was meant to be a guide not a rant, so I'll end it right here and hope you've enjoyed reading through my stupidity.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — An 18-month-old boy was killed Friday morning after being hit by a pickup truck in Spring Valley, police said.
It happened around 8:30 a.m. in a parking lot between two apartment buildings on Rose Avenue.
The toddler was playing in the parking lot when the driver of the pickup hit the child as he was pulling out of a parking spot, CBS 2's Lou Young reported.

Hawaii is planning on offering one-way plane tickets to homeless people who volunteer to return back to the United States mainland.
The unconventional move is aimed at saving the Aloha State money on food, shelter and services currently dedicated to Hawaii's estimated 17,000 homeless.
The Department of Human Services three-year pilot program, aptly named "return to home," begins this fiscal year. The legislature has already earmarked $100,000 for the first 12 months.
More from GlobalPost: Flossie would have been the first tropical storm or hurricane to hit Hawaii in 21 years
The state hopes that by paying for plane tickets, possibly even beds on cruise ships, it will save millions long-term.
"Every homeless person, whether they're in a shelter or un-housed, they get something like over 700 dollars from the state per month," Representative Rida Cabanilla said.
"This is not a silver bullet, this does not solve everything," Representative John Mizuno said. "It's fractional, it's not for 5,000 homeless people. It's going to be a handful of homeless people that we send."
In order to be eligible, those interested men and women must prove they can not afford an airfare and have family or a "support system" to return to in their home state.

Discussion in 'Tank Talk' started by nini, Jun 14, 2006.
i was wonder.....are sumps very hard to set up? are they expensive, or do they come w/ the aquirium?
Sumps can get a bit $$ but If you have the time you probably could build one like me. It only ended up costing me about $250 for a full 10 gallon sump w/skimmer but if you buy it already built it can end up costing $300-$600. They arnt hard to set up . A sump is pritty much a small tank that holds all you equipment such as protien skimmer,heater, filter media, ext. It is mostly used to keep all the junk that you don't want showing underneath the tank. The biggest problem wqith sumps is over flowing.
so r sumps really a must or is there any way i could not use one?
i was also wondering how i need to cover the filters so that the octo dosent try to climb in.
You dont need one. But it is nice to have it. Either way filteration isnt cheap. I suggest a hang on protien skimmer, canister filter, and some live rock for you filteration.
Bingo. Its the kind of thing where if you can't do it right you shouldn't do it at all. A sump gives you safety. There are less apertures in the lid to plug. Less ways for your octopus to get shredded. Larger water volume. Even most important is equipment. Lets be honest: most HOB equipment is garbage. HOB filters and skimmers are typically marketed towards the fair-weather, cheap-minded hobbyist because all the serious hobbyists out there (reef-keepers) who are willing to pay for quality have sumps.
ok but i still dont get how a sump works or how to set one up.......its kinda confusing me:( anyways if i dont get a sump i'll jus get a nice canister filter :)
How many aquariums have you had in the past? I recommend going to a local fish store (not a chain...) and just asking some of these questions. You will be able to see some of the answers to these questions for yourself. It is always a good idea to develop a relationship with a good local fish store, they can help you in many ways...
yes!! im visiting a salt water pet store tomarrow......hopefully they will have the anserws to all my questions:)
How many aquariums have you had?
i dunno alot lol
If you have a basic understanding of aquarium care, it shouldn't be too hard for you to get back up to speed with the latest aquarium "gear"...
2 excellent pearls of wisdom!
A sump is nothing more than a second fish tank that is plumbed into the first tank and normally hidden to conceal all the filtration garbage.
Think of a public aquarium display.
The trick to sumps is the design and safety features -these can make it or break it. The hard part in DIY sumps is the plumbing-this is not an issue with premade sumps. I would not recommend making your own sump until you have had one. The design looks simple when you understand the mechanics, but thinking it is will be the fastest way to soak your carpet.

* FTSEurofirst 300 up 0.4 pct
* Portugal's top index rallies 2 percent after Thursday's slump
* Issues at BES not seen affecting other banks
* FTSEurofirst set for worst weekly fall since April
By Alistair Smout
EDINBURGH, July 11 (Reuters) - European shares rose on Friday, led up by a relief rally in Portuguese banks, with investors reassured that concerns over the country's biggest listed bank was unlikely to engulf other firms in the sector.
Portugal's PSI share index was up 2 percent in early deals, after falling 4.2 percent to a nine-month low on Thursday, with other indexes firming up across the region.
The fall in the previous session came after shares and bonds of Espirito Santo Financial Group, the chief shareholder in Banco Espirito Santo, were suspended over "material difficulties" at parent firm ESI.
On Thursday Banco Espirito Santo said losses associated with the founding family would not affect the bank.
Lenders Banco BPI and Banif were up nearly 6 percent, even as both Banco Espirito Santo and Espirito Santo Financial Group failed to open on Friday.
"While the bank has some exposure to the holding company, over a billion euros, it's very clear that they have enough excess capital, over 2 billion euros," Veronika Pechlaner, who helps manage $13 billion of assets at Ashburton Investments, said.
"So the systemic risk to the Portuguese banking system is limited, and that's what the market is telling you this morning."
The FTSEurofirst 300 was up 0.4 percent to 1,354.80 at 0954 GMT, although the index was still set for its worst weekly performance since April, down 2.9 percent.
Concerns over Banco Espirito Santo, as well as an enquiry by the United States over whether German lender Commerzbank broke sanctions restrictions, have hit the banking sector especially hard this week.
A 1.8 percent rally in euro zone banks saw the sector down only 4 percent for the week, having been down as much as 7.3 percent for the week on Thursday, at its lowest level this year.
The Austrian banking sector has also been in focus in recent weeks due to its exposure to eastern Europe. Erste rebounded from recent falls to rise 4.5 percent, however, benefitting from an upgrade from UBS.
Analysts at UBS said that the recent fall, down nearly 20 percent since last week, "more than reflects the expected losses in problematic geographies," upgrading the stock to "buy" from "neutral".

text: Posted November 17, 2013 · Report post Hey guys. So I was browsing around the Internet for tips about saving. I have acne. I started shaving in September. I am 15 years old. I started shaving with Gillete Fusion ProGlide Power, and it was AWSOME . I found some tips and all of them said to use a two blade razor. I needed to shave and I went out and bought a Gillete Blue 2+ or something like that. And all I can say that It was horrible. I don't know how to explain it but it was so bad. The razor wasn't gliding on my skin. It felt like it was just pulling it. The Fusion ProGlide Power was awesome. And it made shaving fun. I just made a couple of swipes and that was it. I am using the Nivea Shaving Gel for sensitive skin. The best one I could find in my country. I will stick to my 5 blade razor because it's just better in my opinion. What do you guys think about it?

text: Working on The Daily Show must undoubtedly be one of the happiest jobs on earth. Even the extra-curricular tweets of the show's writers are often hilarious. Take the reaction of headwriter Tim Carvell to the news that Ben Affleck had been cast as Batman in the forthcoming Batman vs Superman (the unofficial title): Spend ten years working your way back into everyone's good graces. Win an Oscar. Then you get cast as Batman, and BAM! You're Gigli again. In fact, Carvell's reaction was typical of hundreds of less funny comments that hit the Web on Thursday following word of Affleck's casting, many of them referring to his less-than-inspiring performance as another superhero, Daredevil. One person tweeted the New York Post: Wow, Ben Affleck sure was great in Daredevil. I hope he gets to play ANOTHER superhero!! -- Things no one has ever said. Headlined Britain's Guardian: Ben Affleck Is Batman: Twitter Has a Dark Night.

There's a fire in his soup. He chuckles as he bites the flame. The man in the long black cloak says he can't untie my hands for a while. I don't protest.
He looks out the window. Who is he waiting for? He utters something under his breath. There is a knock at the door. A man enters, tall, thin and disgustingly ugly. 'Meet Mr. Mold' the man in the long black cloak says.
Mr. Mold spooks me. He unfastens the zip on his coat to reveal a blood soaked shirt. He removes both garments and rummages through his bag and puts on a clean t-shirt. Mr. Mold stares at me with his evil protruding eyes. Eyes that want to pop like a cork. 'Nice to meet you little girl.' Mr. Mold takes out a jam jar from his bag. Slugs squirm inside. He place the jam jar on my face, it is cold and I turn my head quickly. The jam jar smashes to the floor. A slug lands on my shoe. Mr. Mold howls. As he is doing so, I notice his tongue. Yikes, it's green! I kick him. He pulls my hair until the man in the long black cloak yells 'Stop this tomfoolery.'
Both men are at the other side of the room. Not talking, not watching but waiting.
The man in the long black cloak walks towards to me. 'So will you tell me now?'
Figuring I have nothing to lose, I tell him I will.
It's cold outside but my hands are free.
We reach the place and wait.
Heavy footsteps march towards us. The men stand and reach in their pockets for their guns.
Gracefully, the creature makes itself known. Its mouth is foaming. Its eyes are like jewels. Its tail is like colours of the rainbow. Each spike has a different colour. The creature is awesome.
The two men point their guns at the creature but hold their fire.
The creature races forward. Grabs Mr. Mold. Mr. Mold vomits. The man in the long black cloak looks on. He is stunned. He staggers before the fall. I am swimming in delight as I watch the carnage.
Once it's over the creature dances with me. We dance under the blue moonlight. We dance and dance and dance...
Early morning: I wake up in my bed. The man in the long black cloak is waiting for me.
The man in the long black cloak

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - PC - Review
Tony Hawk is top of the charts once again, this time with his sequel to his first successful title Pro Skater. I once read an article that asked why Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 are so good. The answer is that Tony works alongside the development team and gives info and support. Tony only puts his name on the best and seems to have a knack for knowing what is needed for a good game. Although Pro Skater 2 looks and feels like a console game, that shouldn't deprive us computer players the thrill and excitement of putting our big butts in the air and falling on our heads. Computer players need to get out of the mind set of keyboard/mouse controls and dust off those sidewinders cause your going to need them.
The original Pro Skater was so fun you didn't think it could get any better; we were wrong. The sequel to the best skateboarding game ever has added larger areas to skate in and the ability to buy stats and tricks for your skater. This allows you to specialize in your favorite moves or maybe add a little bit of everything to your list. When you buy stats, your player gets physically better in whatever you purchased, such as: hang time, speed, or ollies. After building your player up to the limit of some stats, you can do 720s with ease. You also have the ability to buy special moves, but can only use two at a time while playing. The ability to customize your look and skateboards is also included in your options. All the skaters are back with some hidden people also. The great movies are there and are unlocked as you progress through the game. Along with all this customization, you also have the ability to design your own track. The tracks can't be as elaborate as what's included in the game, but they do allow some great area designs using ramps and obstacles. As much personalization you could ask for is included in this game.
The map areas are massive with more than one level at places. The hidden areas and items are plenty and it takes some skill and practice to get them. The graphics are a bit sluggish and remind you constantly that this is a console game. The 1024x768 resolution does help, but doesn't eliminate the rough edges to the game. The models are excellent and look great pulling off their tricks. Overall, the graphics are less than desired, but the fun exciting gameplay allows you to ignore the small flaws in an almost perfect game.
The sound and music are great. The sound effects are your usual bone crunching, head pounding, and blood squirting yelps of pain found in other games. The soundtrack to this game is an excellent choice to complement the game's action. I also found a neat trick online that allows you to convert your favorite mp3s to your background music in the game using RadTools. My game played better with Creed in the background for some reason.
Gameplay is second to none. There is not another game out there that gives you as much action at such a high speed than Pro Skater 2. The controls are not hard to pick up and only really consist of 4 main buttons. I would recommend using a gamepad instead of the keyboard. I tried both controls, and the keyboard took too much away from the game. Along with Freeskate and Career modes, you also have multiplayer through LAN or Internet. The multiplayer only consists of two player competitions and wasn't very good with poor lag and dull interaction with your opponent. The single player game more than makes up for any inconveniences that the multiplayer has.
Overall, the game is almost near perfect. Only small flaws and nuisances take away from the game. The high flying no holds barred action is more than enough to make up for any problems the game might have. If you buy one game this Christmas season...Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 better be on that list.
Install: Easy, CD is required to play
Gameplay: 9.8, Fun action. Multiplayer takes off just a little with its not-so-par performance.
Graphics: 8.5, Great detail to models and levels. The game just graphically feels like a console title.
Sound: 10, Awesome sound track and the non-printed tip on how to make your own.
Difficulty: 10, The game is just hard enough to make you keep trying to get those rare tapes and money.
Concept: 10, Although other games try...they don't come close to what this game offers.
Overall: 9.7, If you don't get this game...you're missing the point of playing games.

Accent Identification by Clustering and Scoring Formants
There have been significant improvements in automatic voice recognition technology. However, existing systems still face difficulties, particularly when used by non-native speakers with accents. In this paper, the authors address a problem of identifying the English accented speech of speakers from different backgrounds. Once an accent is identified the speech recognition software can utilise training set from appropriate accent and therefore improve the efficiency and accuracy of the speech recognition system. They introduced the Q factor, which is defined by the sum of relationships between frequencies of the formants.
