Equity Residential Announces New Financing Activities In Preparation For Closing Of Archstone Acquisition
Equity Residential (NYSE: EQR) today announced that the company has entered into a new unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan as it positions itself for the closing of the Archstone acquisition in the first quarter of 2013.
"We are very pleased to put these new facilities in place and are appreciative of the support that we have received from a syndicate of 25 financial institutions for both the revolver and the term loan," said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential's Executive Vice President and CFO. "Between these loans and the proceeds from the more than $3.0 billion of non-core assets we have recently sold or have under contract, we have exceeded our funding objectives for the Archstone closing."
On January 11, 2013, the company entered into a new $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement with a group of 25 financial institutions. The new facility matures in April 2018 and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread and an annual facility fee that are dependent on the company's then current credit rating. At the company's current rating, the interest rate spread is 1.05% and the annual facility fee is 15 basis points. This facility replaced the company's existing $1.75 billion facility which was scheduled to mature in July 2014.
Also on January 11, 2013, the company entered into a new senior unsecured $750 million delayed draw term loan facility with an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread which is dependent on the company's then current credit rating. At the company's current rating, the interest rate spread is 1.20%. The maturity date of the facility is January 11, 2015, subject to a one year extension option exercisable by the company. The facility is currently undrawn and is available in one draw made on or before July 11, 2013 and may be used to fund the Archstone acquisition or for other corporate purposes.

Poles sound pretty optimistic regarding their non-Russian sources...
Poland?s energy security not threatened, says Economy Minister
Created: 01.09.2008 16:10
According to Deputy-Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Waldemar Pawlak, Poles do not have to worry about their country?s energy security.
The vice-prime minister said that there is no threat of Russia stopping delivery of energy resources to Poland, as had been reported by the UK?s Daily Telegraph last week. The companies that deliver gas and oil, said Pawlak on Polish Radio today, will stick to their contracts because they do not want to lose credibility in the eyes of their trading partners.
Last week, the British press warned that Russia might try to exert political pressure on countries dependent on it for natural resources, a group which includes Poland.
Waldemar Pawlak stressed that Poland's situation regarding energy safety is good. According to him, the Naftoport in Gdansk, handling crude oil and crude oil products, enables the import of resources from sources other than Russia.
He also stressed that it is technically possible to import oil to Poland via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. In fact, this has already been tried: the oil was transported from Turkey through Italy's Trieste to oil refineries in the Czech Republic owned by Poland's PKN Orlen.
Pawlak said, however, that the pipeline is controlled by British Petroleum, which has a lot of business with Russia.
The vice-prime minister also stressed that domestic resources, which cover 60 percent of Poland's demand for energy, are key to the country's energy safety. He said that producing gas from coal mined in Poland will become increasingly appealing if security concerns continue.

Oil prices plunge as Gustav dissipates
Tuesday September 2, 9:54 am ET
By Stevenson Jacobs, AP Business Writer
Oil prices plunge as Gustav dissipates, appears to spare energy
NEW YORK (AP) -- Oil prices plunged Tuesday, falling to within sight of
$100 a barrel a day after Hurricane Gustav tore through the Gulf of
Mexico but appeared to spare oil and gas installations of massive damage.
Light, sweet crude for October delivery fell $7.73 to $107.73 a barrel
on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after earlier dropping as low as
$105.46. The last time prices hovered in that range was in early April
before a historic run-up above $147 per barrel. Earlier in the session
prices had dropped as low as $105.46.
On Friday, the contract settled at $115.46 a barrel as Gustav approached
the U.S. Gulf coast, a key region for oil drilling and refining. But
traders were relieved that Gustav weakened as it neared the offshore oil
rigs and Louisiana refineries, and appeared to have caused less damage
than expected in New Orleans and surrounding areas.
As Hurricane Gustav dissipated, traders quickly turned their attention
to slowing global economic growth, speculating that demand for crude
will be dampened even in rapidly expanding China and India.
"The market continues to be weighed down by worries of a global economic
downturn and slowing oil demand in developing markets," said Victor
Shum, an energy analyst with consultancy Purvin & Gertz in Singapore.
"Action by OPEC and supply side concerns should put a backstop to any
sharp price drop."
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is scheduled to meet
Sept. 9 in Vienna and has indicated it may take action to defend the
$100 a barrel level.
Ahead of Gustav, there was some disruption to oil supplies as oil
companies shut down production and evacuated facilities. Altogether,
about 2.4 million barrels of refining capacity was halted, roughly 15
percent of the U.S. total, according to figures from Platts, the energy
information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos. The Gulf Coast is home to nearly
half of the nation's refining capacity.
It could be a day or more before oil and natural gas companies can
assess the damage to their drilling and refining installations.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said as much as 20 percent of oil and gas
production that was stopped because of Gustav could be restored by this
weekend, but he also stressed that it was a rough estimate.

Gas prices depend on extent of hurricane damage
Tuesday September 2, 8:11 am ET
By Aaron Smith, CNNMoney.com staff writer
In the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav, energy analysts say that the fate
of gas prices in coming days could hinge on possible damage to the
area's dozens of refineries that turn crude into gasoline.
Gas prices declined following Monday's plunge in oil prices and gas
futures. But the extent of the damage from Hurricane Gustav remains to
be seen.
The U.S. Department of Energy said Monday that 12 refineries have shut
down and 10 have reduced their output.
"If there's no damage to refineries and they're able to get back up
relatively quickly, we would assume gas prices would continue the
downward trend that we've seen over the last few weeks," said Doug
MacIntyre, senior oil market analyst at the Energy Information
Administration, on Monday.
As it appeared Tuesday that the weaker-than-forecast Gustav would not
wreak as much havoc as anticipated, oil prices plummeted by more than $7
to $108.37 a barrel, while gas futures in the wholesale market fell more
than 21 cents to $2.65 a gallon.
Also on Tuesday, motorist group AAA reported that the nationwide average
for retail gas prices slipped slightly, by two tenths of a cent, to
$3.684 a gallon.
Peter Beutel, an analyst with energy risk management firm Cameron
Hanover, expects gas prices to stay flat or fall based on the recent
decline in oil prices and gas futures. But he cautioned that it's too
early to tell what retail gas prices will do until the full extent of
the storm's damage on oil production in the Gulf of Mexico is known.
"I'm surprised at this strong decline [in oil prices] before we even
know what the damage is from the hurricane," said Beutel.
Kenneth Medlock, energy fellow at Rice University in Houston, said it
will take several days before the effects of Gustav will be felt on gas
After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, three days
passed before gas prices spiked 10 cents a gallon in a single day.
Within one week of Katrina's landfall on Aug. 29, gas prices had surged
by 45 cents to $3.05 a gallon nationwide.
"If one or two refineries have any damage [from Gustav], gasoline prices
will start to move up, no matter what oil prices do," said Medlock.
Already, there was some disruption. Conoco-Phillip's refinery in the
area normally produces 90,000 barrels of gasoline-a-day. It is one of
nine refineries in the region that are temporarily closed due to
Hurricane Gustav, according to oil industry analysts.
Citgo also operates a refinery. While the company says its policy is not
to reveal whether facilities reduce or shutter production, Larry
DeRoussel, Executive Director of the Lake Area Industry Alliance told
CNN the refinery "is operating at 75% capacity."
Gas prices fell in both Louisiana and Mississippi according to AAA.
Prices rose, however, in Florida, Georgia and Alabama trumping the
national average, as Hurricane Hannah threatens to bring heavy rain and
winds to those states by the end of the week.
The price of unleaded gas has been declining steadily since hitting a
nationwide record of $4.114 a gallon on July 17. But that trend broke
last week as Hurricane Gustav gathered strength and moved toward the
Gulf Coast.
The nationwide average for retail gas prices rose about 3 cents a gallon
over the three days ending on Sunday, according to AAA. Gas prices rose
dramatically in certain areas of the Gulf Coast, like the Mississippi
cities of Biloxi, Gulfport and Pascagoula, where they jumped by more
than 9 cents a gallon on Friday, according to AAA.

*SoCal farmers angry about proposed power line path*
By JACOB ADELMAN 09.01.08, 9:27 PM ET
Growers and ranchers in the southern reaches of California are posing
the latest obstacle to the state's push for green power.
Facing the possibility of losing land to power transmission lines, they
have urged state commissioners to avoid their property when selecting a
route for a project linking consumers on the coast to renewable energy
operations in the Southern California desert.
San Diego Gas & Electric Co. contends that stringing high-voltage lines
over agricultural land in San Diego and Imperial counties as part of its
$1.5-billion Sunrise Powerlink project is the most secure and economic
way to deliver wind, solar and geothermal energy.
Farmers counter that utility profits from the project would come at
their expense.
"They're going to come in and pay a few thousand dollars for the land
they're taking and that's all you get. You lose the revenue from that
land forever," said Katie Moretti, whose family has raised cattle for
more than a century in San Diego County.
The dispute is part of a growing conflict between farmers and utilities,
as California's mandate for power providers to boost their use of
renewable energy prompts new projects across the state.
Apple growers in San Bernardino County are fighting a proposal by the
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to string transmission lines
through their orchards to carry geothermal energy from inland sources.
The lines in San Diego and Imperial counties would idle at least 860
acres now used to raise cattle and grow wheat, alfalfa and other feed
crops, according to California Public Utilities Commission documents.
The land would be used to accommodate transmission towers, access roads
and other infrastructure needed for the project.
Karen Mills, a lawyer for the California Farm Bureau Federation, said
the project's proponents vastly underestimate the acreage that could be
impacted, because crop duster planes and tractors would have to steer
clear of the power lines and towers, leaving more land unusable.
Imperial County farmer Doug Westmoreland said the lines proposed for his
property could hamper production on hundreds of the 3,500 acres he farms.
"The actual power line footprint isn't that big, but it would be akin to
having a post in the middle of a freeway," he said. "It creates havoc."
The commission must approve a final route for the lines before the
utility can compel farmers to sell property through eminent domain. A
final decision on the route could come in December.
The lines would stretch 150 miles through the center of the two counties
and carry enough power for 750,000 homes. The utility would build the
power line but buy the juice from a host of generating companies whose
proposed plants harness energy from the sun, wind and underground heat.
The entire route would include 554 towers.
Some opponents of the plan are urging SDG&E to adopt an alternative
route along an existing power line easement just north of the Mexico
border that avoids most agricultural land.
But the utility said its preferred northern route offers more security
by keeping the project separate from existing power lines and saves
money because it goes through gentler terrain.
It also would pass closer to sources of underground geothermal energy
near the Salton Sea, which might be tapped in the future.
"We have to connect the supply areas where the resources are at with the
areas of consumption, and that's one of the big challenges we have here
in California," said Mike Niggli, chief operating officer of Sempra
Energy's utilities business, which includes SDG&E.

Winter heat crisis looms, little relief seen
High fuel prices and the weak economy could make heating a luxury this
winter. And the government's low-income assistance plan may not suffice.
By Ben Rooney, CNNMoney.com staff writer
September 2, 2008: 5:54 AM EDT
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Home heating bills are expected to rise
dramatically this winter and there is growing concern that the
government program aimed at helping poor families cope with energy costs
may not be able to meet the needs of cash-strapped households.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally
funded program that gives money to states to help low-income households,
the elderly and the disabled cope with the financial strain of high
heating bills.
This year, however, the program could be squeezed by a projected 20%
average increase in heating bills nationwide and an influx of people
applying for assistance due to sour economic conditions, high gas prices
and a weak labor market.
"This could be the worst winter ever for low-income folks," said Jerry
McKim, who oversees Iowa's LIHEAP program for the state's Bureau of
Energy Assistance.
While heating oil and natural gas prices have fallen from recent highs,
they remain well above last year's level and still pose a significant
threat to poor and fixed-income Americans.
"Anything over $2.50 a gallon for low-income family is a budget buster,"
said Richard Moffi, who manages Vermont's LIHEAP program.
Heating oil prices are expected to reach $4.34 a gallon nationwide this
winter, according to estimates from the Energy Information Administration.
A growing number of families in need: In addition to the run-up in fuel
prices, the slowdown in the economy has led to an increase in the number
of households that qualify for assistance.
In Vermont, there has been a 20% rise in the number of people applying
for LIHEAP benefits, Moffi said. With a larger number of people to
assist, many LIHEAP programs could be forced to reduce the amount of
money they provide to eligible households.
Although some states contribute to the fund, the bulk of the money for
LIHEAP is provided by the Federal government.
Moffi said Vermont's LIHEAP was able to provide an average benefit of
$1,362 last year, which covered roughly 54% of an average household's
heating costs for the year. This year, based on current numbers with no
additional money from Washington, the average benefit will be less than
half last year's amount.
What's more, many low-income families are still behind on payments for
last year's heating bills.
Facing a cold winter: The National Energy Assistance Director's
Association (NEADA) recently reported that more than 15 million
households are currently facing utility shutoffs because they can not
pay their energy bill. That's an increase of nearly 10% over the
comparable period in 2007.
Mark Wolfe, executive director of the NEADA, said that low-income energy
assistance programs usually focus on families that make roughly $31,000
a year. Now, more middle-class families, including those that earn up to
$50,000 a year, could be in need of assistance, he added.
"The real tragic thing is that there's not much out there for the lower
side of middle income," said David Fox, executive director of the
National Low Income Energy Consortium. "And that's most of America right
To cope with higher energy prices, many low-income households have cut
back on other essential expenditures.
A recent survey by the NEADA showed that 70% of low-income households
said they reduced spending on food as a result of high energy and gas
costs. That was followed by 31% that said they have cut back on
purchases of medicine and 19% that curtailed spending on education.
Some families are even considering moving in with relatives to cope with
the cost of heating, Wolfe said. "These are things we haven't seen since
the Depression era," he said.
But before resorting to such drastic measures, consumers should contact
their heating oil supplier or local utility to discuss their options,
said John Maniscaoco, executive vice president of the New York Oil Heat
"Suppliers will try to make amends," Maniscaoco said. "Nobody wants to
shut off anybody," he said.
Many utilities offer payment programs aimed at softening the blow of
high energy prices. And heating oil prices vary from dealer to dealer,
which means households may have some bargaining power.
While lawmakers have expressed concern over the issue, Congress has yet
to make a decision on how much money will be dedicated to the program,
which has prompted some concern among state LIHEAP managers.
"We can only count on less federal dollars," McKim said.
LIHEAP's budget for fiscal year 2008, which ends in September, was
almost $2.57 billion in federal dollars. For fiscal year 2009, President
Bush has issued a budget request of $2 billion for the program, which is
a decrease of 22%.
Senate Democrats made a push in July to provide additional funding for
LIHEAP but Republicans opposed the bill because it did not include
provisions for increased offshore drilling and it failed to pass.
A spokesman for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who sponsored the bill in
July, said expanding LIHEAP's budget is a "top priority" for the Senator
and that the issue will be revisited when Congress returns from recess
next month.
Other lawmakers have hinted that additional LIHEAP funding could come
this year as part of a second economic stimulus program.
The issue of home heating assistance has "a lot of bipartisan support,"
Wolfe said. And he is cautiously optimistic that Congress will
ultimately come through with additional funding as the public becomes
more aware of this "potentially very serious problem."
The question is: Will Washington act in time to make a meaningful
"The government is better when disaster strikes," Wolfe said. "It's not
as good when we say the disaster is coming."
Home heating bills are expected to spike this winter as high gasoline
prices are already straining household budgets. Are you planning to do
anything different in order to reduce your heating bills? Are you
cutting back on things to get by? Share your story with iReport. To top

BP to pay $1.9B for Chesapeake stake
British oil company, one month after buying its Oklahoma assets, will
acquire 25% of Chesapeake Energy's Arkansas business.
Last Updated: September 2, 2008: 8:38 AM EDT
LONDON (AP) -- British oil company BP PLC said Tuesday that its U.S.
unit plans to buy a 25% stake in Chesapeake Energy Corp.'s Fayetteville
Shale assets in Arkansas for $1.9 billion.
BP (BP) said that a letter of intent has been signed for the deal, which
comes just a month after BP America bought Chesapeake's (CHK, Fortune
500) Arkoma Basin Woodford Shale assets in Oklahoma for $1.7 billion.
"This transaction, when combined with our recent Woodford acquisition,
establishes a material position in the two attractive shale plays in the
Arkoma Basin," said BP Chief Executive of Exploration and Production
Andy Inglis.
Strategic approach by BP
"Together with our substantial position in the emerging Haynesville
Shale play in East Texas, BP has made a strategic entry into three top
tier shale plays in North America and established potential shale
resources of 1 billion barrels oil equivalent net to BP," Inglis added.
The Arkansas assets have a daily net production of approximately 180
million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent and include approximately
540,000 net acres of leasehold, which the companies believe could
support the drilling of up to 6,700 future horizontal wells.
As a result of the transaction, BP will own approximately 135,000 net
acres of this leasehold and Chesapeake will own approximately 405,000
net acres.
BP will pay $1.1 billion in cash at the close of the deal, and will pay
a further $800 million during the remainder of 2008 and in 2009, by
funding 100% of Chesapeake's 75% share of drilling and completion
Additional leasehold
Chesapeake plans to continue acquiring leasehold in the Fayetteville
Shale play and BP will have the right to a 25% participation in any such
additional leasehold, the companies said.
"We believe this transaction creates substantial value for both
companies, highlights the attractiveness and significant value of
Chesapeake's assets and confirms the structural appeal of our innovative
joint venture structures," said Chesapeake Chief Executive Aubrey K.
The deal is subject to "execution of mutually acceptable definitive
documentation," which the companies expect to occur within the next
week. They anticipate closing the deal later this month. To top of page

Mozambique wants to retain most of its gas exports

Buzz <http://reuters.socialpicks.com/stock/r/SOLJ>) to double the amount
of natural gas that Mozambique can retain rather than export to South
The bulk of natural gas treated at a plant in Temane in Mozambique is
pumped along an 865 km pipeline to Sasol's refinery in Secunda South
Africa and then sold in that country.
An offshoot connection from the main pipeline carries gas to the
Mozambican industrial city of Matola, where it is distributed by the
Matola Gas Company (MGC).
MGC chief executive officer, Bruno Morgado, told Reuters that MGC was
allowed to take a maximum of six million gigajoules of gas a year, but
this amount was not sufficient to meet the growing demand for gas in Matola.
"We're demanding that the pipeline supply us annually with at least 10
million gigajoules of gas, so that we can respond to the increasing
demand for gas resulting from the development of the Matola and Maputo
industrial park," he said.
Morgado said about 20 million gigajoules should be pumped annually to
South Africa, but between 10 and 14 million gigajoules of this still
does not have a market.
"We would like this gas to be allocated to Mozambique," Morgado said.
Morgado said the high prices of imported liquid fuels have been a factor
in persuading companies to switch to natural gas.

South Africa, Venezuela sign energy deal
28 minutes ago
By MICHELLE FAUL
Associated Press Writer
(AP:PRETORIA, South Africa) South Africa and Venezuela sealed a major
oil deal Tuesday during a visit by Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez,
who called it an example of southern nations cooperating in a new
strategic alliance.
The two countries' state oil companies reached agreements on oil and gas.
"It will be a wonderful day, the day when the first Venezuelan tanker
will stop by to leave oil for South Africa," Chavez said.
No details of the deals were immediately available, but they were likely
to include plans for Venezuela to supply crude at preferential rates to
South Africa's PetrosSA state oil company.
Venezuela is also eager to explore South Africa's pioneering
gas-to-liquid technology, and PetroSA is looking to invest in oil
exploration and production in Venezuela.
At a news conference after the signing of agreements, Chavez said
Venezuela was interested in using South Africa's oil storage capacity of
some 45 million barrels and helping expand its refining capacity.
With the world in crisis, Chavez said it was imperative that southern
nations unite behind a "new strategic agenda, to conduct a true
strategic change in international relations."
South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki said several agreements signed
Tuesday contribute to "the further empowerment of the countries of the
He refused to say if South Africa would be getting preferential rates
from Venezuela, but said "the object is to assist in reducing the costs
of energy."
Mbeki also said that such state-to-state deals eliminated intermediaries
and thus reduced costs.
It was Chavez's first visit to South Africa.

LoLU Lesson 2: Minions and the 1v0 Custom
Previous LoLU Lessons:
Lesson 1: Attitude Alright, now how do we play Coop games?! Ah ah, we're not covering Coop games yet. Wait, what? Aren't they what newbies practice in? They're decent practice for novices, but there's an even better tool for training the basics: Custom mode. Specifically, a Custom one-vs-none match. To make one, just create a Custom game (team size doesn't matter), click Start without adding any bots or other players, and click Yes when it asks if you want to play an unbalanced match. The Custom game mode is the best training tool for an aspiring LoL player. It lets you strip the game down to its bare essentials and practice them without frustrating other players. Want to browse the item shop and see where they're all listed? Make a 1v0 Custom game. Want to practice last-hitting and killing minions? Make a 1v0 Custom game. Want to see how well you can jungle a champion? Make a 1v0 Custom game. But It's Boring! So? You're not reading this because you want to have fun all the time; you're reading this because you're passionate about playing LoL well, even if it involves some boring prepwork. Would you rather spend that time losing a game because you didn't practice the basics? Besides, you can quit a Custom 1v0 game at any time without getting a penalty for disconnecting, so you can finish one in 15, 10, or even 5 minutes, however long it takes for you to finish training. Think of it like soccer: you don't train just by playing other teams. You start by running & kicking the ball by yourself. Once you have that nailed down, then you start playing against other people. Why 1v0? Why not 1v1, or 5v5? Because we're focusing on the bare basics. Another champ adds a lot of variables, including the urge to ignore the minions and kill him instead. Champions are not your primary source of gold & XP; minions are. If you can farm minions well, you can still match or outdo your lane rival even if he has a few more champion kills than you. So, how should you do this? Here's what I'd do: 1. Pick a Lane. Top, mid, or bottom; choose the lane you expect to play that champion at. As a rule of thumb, ranged AP casters go middle lane, melee bruisers go top lane, and everyone else (ranged AD carries, supports, tanks) goes bottom lane. Focus solely on that lane. Ignore the other lanes, even if a turret blows up. 2. Buy Boots of Speed (Movement) and 3 health potions (Consumables). This is one of the common initial item buys, useful for almost any champion. I'll explain why in my next lesson. 3. No Ability Use. Only use basic attacks. You want to save your abilities for harassing your lane rival, not rely on them for killing minions. (Exception: champion abilities that improve with kills, like Nasus's Siphoning Strike & Veigar's Baleful Strike.) 4. One Shot, One Kill. Don't attack a minion unless you can kill it with that hit. This is called "last hitting", and it is vital for controlling your lane. Why? If you cause too much damage to the enemy minions, your lane begins to push to their tower. You have to move closer to their turret and farther from yours to keep killing minions. It's harder to kill their champions, easier to die yourself, and is generally a bad position to be in. You want to keep up with your lane rivals in CS (Creep Score, or # of minions killed) while letting them do more damage than you so they push their lane. There's one exception: when the enemy minions are being killed by your tower, feel free to unload on them. (Rule of thumb: Melee minions die in 2 turrets hits + 1 champion hit, caster minions die in 1 turret hit + 2 champion hits, siege minions die in many turret hits + ?? champion hits. This may vary due to attack power & increasing minion health.) 5. Don't Stop Moving. If you stand still, your champion begins auto-attacking minions (thus pushing the lane), and in an actual game you're a sitting duck for lane rivals with skill shots (abilities that target areas/directions instead of champions). Be a jitterbug: attack and move, attack and move. 6. Don't Recall. If you can't stay in lane forever in a 1v0 match, you're taking too much derpy damage from provoking enemy towers or minions without your own minions covering you. Reduce the abuse you take, else your lane rival will score a kill on you due to derpy damage. 7. Count your CS at the 15-Minute Mark. When the timer hits 15:00, hit O to check the scoreboard. How many minion kills do you have? (It's the # under the purple hood on the scoreboard.) 40: Fresh Meat 70: Novice 100: Veteran 120: Expert 140: Master 160: Improbable! Total Minions per Lane released in 15min: ~170 Note: These numbers/ratings haven't been tested much yet. Some may be off; perhaps it's impossible to get 160 CS in these circumstances. I don't know yet. I would shoot for 70 CS as a starting goal, then slowly try to build your way up to 100 CS as you level up. Do this CS practice run for any new champion you want to try so you get a feel for their basic attacks. As you improve, this will carry over into your actual games and you'll be able to control your lane better and earn more gold to steamroll your opponents with. ---So, how did YOU do in this, hmmm?--- Good question. I tried this out with 3 champions I haven't used before (well, I've used Hecarim, but that was in Dominion), each in a different lane, without any Masteries or Runes. I recorded my CS not just at the 15-minute mark, but at the 5-min and 10-min marks as well. (Man, it's tough writing numbers down while you're trying to kill minions…) Champion (role, lane): CS @ 5min/10min/15min Hecarim (AD melee, top lane): 20 / 55 / 95 Morgana (AP ranged, mid lane): 22 / 63 / 103 Kog'maw (AD ranged, bot lane): 20 / 51 / 86 I also noted certain patterns and how they affected my last-hitting: Yours = Theirs: Steady damage on both sides, easy to last hit. Yours > Theirs: Your minions begin focusing theirs, taking them down very quickly. Last-hitting in such circumstances requires precise timing, such as attacking right when all your caster minions fire. Yours At Their Tower: Easy to last hit for ranged, tough to last hit for melee. Be careful not to be caught under the tower when your last minion dies. Yours < Theirs: Easy to last hit, but you might take some damage once you run out of minions, and they'll eventually reach your tower… Theirs At Your Tower: Extremely hard to last hit or get kills, period, but vital practice for very dangerous lanes (ones where you'll die if you don't tower hug). Keep that in mind when you're training & laning; now you're one step closer to understanding & controlling your lane. (A topic I'll cover in-depth in a future lesson.) ---Three Other Things to Practice in a Custom--- Once you've done some minion training, there's a few other things you should mess around with in a Custom 1v0: 1. The Item Shop This is the perfect time to spend a couple minutes just browsing the item shop and seeing what's available and where. Better now than in the midst of a match with other players. 2. Free Camera Is your camera still locked on your champ? That leaves you very little view distance in the direction you want to be looking. The free-roaming camera takes some practice, but I could never go back to the locked camera after learning it. To turn it off, hit Y in-game. You can move it around either by using the arrow keys or pushing the screen borders with your pointer. If you need to quickly snap the camera back to your champion, just hold the SPACE bar. Try doing some minion training sessions with the free camera until you're comfortable using it in an actual game. (Look under Options > Key Bindings > Camera Control for the commands.) 3. Smart Casting Smart casting is an alternate way to use abilities that targets whatever your cursor's over at that moment, rather than waiting for you to click on a target. Removing that second step can really make a difference in a hectic PvP battle, and the best players I know swear by it. However, (like everything else I've mentioned) it takes some practice. To smart cast your abilities/spells instead of the initial, slow way: -Go to Options > Key Bindings. -Scroll down until you see "Smart Cast Spell 1", "Smart Cast Spell 2", etc. -Assign q / w / e / r / d / f to "Smart Cast Spell 1" thru "Smart Cast Summoner Spell 2". That will change them from regular-cast keys to smart-cast keys. After doing that, try using your abilities against the minions. Get a feel for properly targeting them and the range of your spells. (If you want to see the range radius, just hover your cursor over the ability icon on your toolbar.) Some abilities, like Rumble's Equalizer, require you to hold down the button to set its direction in addition to its position, but most of them are just click-and-fire. Once you've grown comfortable with all of that, it's time to apply what you learn to a Coop game. That will require some knowledge about character roles in the team and what may be the most puzzling question a novice encounters: "What the heck do I buy?!" (Hint: usually not the Suggested Build.) It's not as complex as you think; in fact, I'd argue you can competently play any champion with 1 of 3 basic item builds. What are they? That'll have to wait for the next lesson... |
Oof, that went... quite a bit longer than I first thought. Ah well, it's finally up. Two quick notes:
1. The next lesson will be posted on Saturday; got a busy night Friday, won't have enough time to write up the next one in just one day. 2. If you do the 15min minion training detailed above, feel free to post your champion / lane / CS@15min in the thread, as well as any insights or questions you have about minions. I'd like to see what scores people get and how they compare to the tiers I listed above. |
good info. just so you know, 19 minions spawn every 1.5 mins (3 waves every 30sec: 6, 6, 7). anyways at 15min there is a max of 165 lane cs, tho champions that can kill jungle while laning (particularly mids like morde/cass) could break 200.
This is great. Thanks for all the work you are doing!
Yours < Theirs: Perhaps you want to add some extra attacks so that it evens out again. Otherwise they'll unnecessarily force you to your tower. (Disregard if you're planning to tower hug.)
Reasoning: I find that a low of lowbie players spam auto creeps, which means usually theirs > yours if you're last hitting. In response, I hit them when they're hitting my creeps, but I also have to hit their creeps. As long as I'm getting the last hits as well, I see no problem in doing so to keep the wave out of tower range. |
Good to know, I'd like to know what an average cs is for different ELO. I know there are a ton of variables and there isn't a real number that you can associate with an ELO effectively, but a ballpark number for a solo lane would be nice to know.
This is useful, and its important to test it out with the champs. Each one has a different attack animation so you need to get used to if your ranged A)how long your windup is to shoot and how long it takes to get to the target and if your are melee B) minion blockage. minions will get in your way and make you miss creeps unless you are playing a champion like fizz or janna, who can ignore unit collision.
since this is for the sake of science, i also tested myself out. Wukong top lane got me 22/61/103 at each marker. so as you see, thats a pretty normal number for last hitting, since thats almost exactly the same as Mike's. this exercise is to see how efficient you are at last hitting, because you dont always want to use mana on minions instead of harass. as such, the farm numbers will be different from a live game. as, for instance, morgana will often puddle and kill all 3 ranged creeps immediatly. or morde will just walk up and huehue the entire wave. not to mention recalling and such |
For extra difficulty try this out with Anivia mid.
Ended up getting 118 as morganna...I feel a bit screwed out of being an expert T.T
I looked at the timer at about 15:30, but I imagine I had 92 CS in top as Udyr (no runes to jangle with). Next up, Anivia. That's gonna be a blast.
EDIT: With Anivia in mid, I had 94 by 15 minutes. I mostly used the auto, but I did use R twice to stop the wave from pushing to my tower and I Q'd once to get 3 at the same time, where otherwise I would have only gotten one. |

TUCSON - Burglary victims had a chance to look over some stolen items that were seized from the home of suspected burglars Sonny Conrad and Shannon Spooner on Tuesday night.
On the table, binoculars, iPads, computers, jewelry, and a microwave oven.
Detective Dave Tarnow is the case detective and asked all six victims to look at the property and let him know if it was theirs so he could mark it.
Some of these victims were burglarized last month, others this past week. That's when deputies arrested the couple. But to the deputies surprise, the couple had their toddler and 15-year-old son in tow. The 15-year-old has also been charged with burglary.
Erlinda Cano immediately recognized some beads that belonged to her mother. She said she treasured them because missionaries had given them to her 60 years ago.
She also located her late husband's wallet with his driver's license. However, she didn't find his love letters or the ladies gold Rolex watch her husband bought in 1957 in Okinawa.
Holly Gorelik yelled for joy when she spotted her husband's iPad. She told News 4 Tucson, "You know stuff can be replaced but what they took away from us was a sense of safety and security."
Something good has come from these burglaries, Horlik said they are starting a Neighborhood Watch program with the help of the sheriff's department.
Courtney Rodriguez, spokeswoman for the Pima County Sheriff's Department said, "Help us help you, that's the biggest thing we want to be taken away from this whole ordeal is that with more help from the community and more community involvement we have a better chance of catching these repeat offenders."
The sheriff's department offers programs where deputies and volunteers go out to homes and tells residents how to better secure their home and valuables.
So far, the couple has been linked to six burglaries in the county and there may be more.
Sonny Conrad is being held on a $50,000 bond.
Shannon Spooner has been arrested twice on burglary charges and both times has been released to pre trial services. Both also face child abuse charges.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP)
San Jose police say a teenage boy is in custody and another remains at large after they broke into a couple's home and sexually assaulted an 85-year-old woman.
The suspects then made off with the couple's SUV before crashing into the garage of a vacant home while being followed by the California Highway Patrol.
San Jose police spokesman Officer Albert Morales says the incident began early Tuesday morning, when the two boys entered the home armed with sharp weapons and forced the couple into the back of the house. At some point, an 85-year-old woman was sexually assaulted.
Police say after crashing the SUV, the driver got out and escaped. His 15-year-old passenger was pinned inside and was arrested and booked into juvenile hall.

Is Divorce a Sin?
For Seger and a lot of Christians, reconciling their religion and divorce has to do with historical context. "I do believe the Bible is the word of God," says Seger, "but it's not what I put my faith in. I look at a lot of verses in their historical context and the Matthew verses that talk about divorce were radical for Jesus to say in that day and age. "
Laura Harris, a Christian and twice divorced, explains, "The Christian counselor that I went to prior to filing for divorce said it best, 'God doesn't like divorce but sometimes it's the right thing to do.' I sat in his parking lot praying for 30 minutes before I went in to see him. I prayed that God would allow this counselor to give me peace if divorce was the right thing to do. I left knowing that divorce was not optional and I only needed to be convinced myself that I had done everything in my power and God would still love me."
Tina B. Tessina, PhD, (aka "Dr. Romance") psychotherapist and author of Money, Sex and Kids: Stop Fighting about the Three Things That Can Ruin Your Marriage, notes, "Catholicism is the major Christian religion that forbids divorce, but even the Catholic clergy have come to realize there are good reasons, and provides a (difficult, but possible) avenue through annulment. Catholics who were married a long time, with children, have gotten annulments, even over the objections of one spouse. Most religions have come to realize that divorce is necessary in the case of violence, abandonment, mental illness, and alienation of affection. The more mainstream protestant religions are accepting of divorce in that they will remarry anyone who is legally divorced. "
Recently, one of my own friends, who was homeschooled with her seven siblings and raised in an Evangelical household explained that her own parents were considering a divorce. "My dad," she says, "said even though he had no Biblical reason for divorce, he just couldn't understand why God would want him to live in misery."
And while some Christians divorce for reasons that pertain to abuse and safety, many concur with that sentiment. Says Seger, "Why would God create me to be this person, with thoughts, talents and ambitions and then tell me that they all had to be sacrificed and compromised by this person that I was married to?"
Yet, despite this widespread acceptance of divorce many Christians find themselves at odds with their church over their decision. Harris recalls her experience: "In the church of over 200 people I felt very supported by all but two people. I had the wife of a church leader call me and grill me for 15 minutes regarding my reasons for filing for divorce. I barely knew this person and certainly didn't feel the need to justify my situation to her (although I did offer an explanation to the church leaders). By the time I got off the phone she had me crying hysterically and feeling very judged."
In 1999, singer Amy Grant divorced her husband of 16 years. After their split, many Christians stopped listening to her music and questioned her faith. Some Christian radio stations stopped playing her music and a few Christian bookstores refused to sell her CDs. In a 2000 interview with CCM magazine, Grant stated, "Go look in a mirror and everything that's black and ugly about you, it's the same about me. That's what Jesus died for."
Today, as she looks back on that period of her life, Grant has come to terms with her religion and divorce. In a 2003, interview with ChristianMusicToday.com, Grant states, "Whenever I thought I was being dealt with unjustly, I would think, Some day, this is all going to play out in heaven, and everybody will see the full picture, and it won't even matter. That was always my thought process, just doing the things I felt I needed to do, and letting other people do what they felt they needed to do."
In a recent editorial in the Forth Worth Star Telegram, Christina Wicker author of The Fall of the Evangelical Nation: The Surprising Crisis Inside the Church, points to this rift in the church as a sign of religious growing pains. She writes, What's clear is that people in the pews are taking back their faith, wresting it from leaders who helped sell the idea that only the most fundamentalist brands of Christian belief could succeed and that their words alone represented that belief."
This intricate power play between individuals and the institution of religion isn't easy, and underscores the deeply personal element of faith. Wendy Rose, who divorced her husband 10 years ago, has come to terms with her decision in a way that falls outside of the scriptures and is deeply embedded in her idea of God and faith. "I had to believe," says Rose, "that God saw what I went through behind closed doors and it's between me and him when the time comes."
Whether this attitude is indicative of a reformation is hard to say, but at least no one is beheading anyone to get there.

Mammoth Bones and Iowa's Barefoot Runner
By Ben Kieffer
An Iowa man and his sons made a huge discovery on their Oskaloosa farm recently. Now scientists are in the process of excavating a mammoth skeleton. We'll hear what they hope to learn from the find. Then, 18-year-old Rae Heim of Carroll is running barefoot across the country this year from Boston to Huntington Beach, CA. She has reached Iowa – raising money for an organization called souls4soles – a Christian organization which supplies shoes to needy kids. Rae talks with River to River's Ben Kieffer about her journey.

Mark's new Alpair 7
OK Guys,
Heres the Alpair 7. In some ways, this might become my favourite driver. Last week, Norio San and me sat down to road test a pair of these in 7.25 litre BR pine-wood boxes, nothing fancy. Powered by a Accuphase E307, source was a Denon S10 CD player, no filters, no cross, just these units, we were blown over by the detail and sheer quality of the reproduction. I wont say any more because its the future users that will be the final judges. All the same, I was more than pleased with my alchemy and there was a huge smile on Norios face. The primary objective of this Alpair is to deliver a very wide range, particularly in the HF. If I had a dollar for all the people that told me its impossible to take a single cone design of this size beyond 20K, I be happily retired by now. I was told whizzers and co-axial were the only ways to go. Well, the Alpair 7 delivers 30-kHz without whizzers, co-ax tweets, phase plugs and all the tricks that came along over the years: The Alpair 7 is a single cone, purists design. Details: Cone - Japan 4 mix alloy, re-tempered material. For those with knowledge of Japans long history in metals, youll know whats been done to this cone. Lots of time and effort have gone into this cone and cap. This includes the to 7-10 micron finish. The new Multiform process in full use to make this component, couldn't be done any other way due of its tolerance critical requirement. Cap - Same material as the cone, thickness down to <0.06-mm. Also made by Multiform. DONT touch it! (or the cone for that matter). Front Surround - The softest compliance and the thinnest we made so far. Two additional sets of micro-fibre have been blended into sections of the butyl to retain stability. My thanks to Lui Yi Ping for his hard work, and his particular attention to the tooling used to centre to surrounds on to the cones. Voice coil - The former has been re-manufactured on a machine to line up the forms leading edges prior to winding. The accuracy is tolerance critical on this design. Spider - My thanks to Tadashi Matsubara San. As already mentioned in the Alpair 12 launch thread, Matsubara sans contribution to the Alpair 7 rear suspension is significant, this spider uses the same design concept and production tolerances as the Alpair 12. The rest - by now, most of you know my approach to building drivers. All the components are 100% custom built. This includes the new connector blocks. The frame is custom, its 135-mm in diameter. I put my time in (along with Evan and Yifan) on the production line, also much time spent at the component suppliers getting this driver made. I smashed allot of early components until the guys got it right, then I stopped smashing and started assembling. Finally, my thanks to many members of DIYaudio. Your advice and suggestions are important. These contributions have influenced the build and performance of these latest drivers - many thanks to you all. Have fun Mark. |

Hi Henry, Geek and Peter
Thanks, glad you like the look. I'm trying to help DIYer's gain a "pro" look to projects. There's a front cover that fits over the frame. It's bonded to the frame but could be supplied separate in the future. This would allow users to customise the look (painted cover etc.) Any thoughts? Hi Chas, Yes, this driver (Also new CHR-70) is in Japan right now. Germany next week. The Japan version is slightly different in some minor details. But very minor. Both drivers are already selling well. Hi Dave, Sorry I've not called you, (hectic). I'll catch up and call you to discuss. Cheers, Mark |

I have just begun to look at some of your drivers for a mini-console luggable project I am working on. They look rather nice (haven't run numbers yet but look doable). One concern I have is durability of the light weight materials in the hands of a teenager. Have you found these driver to be pretty rugged. My application is 4-8W of SE tube power into the mains (preferably sealed or open back) with crossover to sub at around 70-80Hz. Looking to get SPLs in the mid 90s if possible. Have looked at Fostex (Xmax issues), CSS FS125 and Jordan. Of the three I like the Jordan best even though efficiency is not as high as Fostex. Your drivers seem to be very competitive in this application. mike

KOLKATA: The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) authorities were about to begin work on riverfront beautification on a kilometer-long pathway along the Hooghly, but it has been stalled However, the civic body could not start work along the entire length
after the Army, which owns a chunk of the stretch, has raised an objection.
A KMC official said the Army has made it clear that they would not allow the civic body to go ahead with the construction along the Hooghly on Strand Road. However, desperate to start the beautification work, the KMC authorities have decided to concentrate on a 250-metre stretch from Armenian Ghat to Millennium Park. The state government has entrusted state urban development secretary Debasish Sen to meet defence top brass in Delhi and seek approval for beautifying the entire stretch.
After a series of meetings with state government officials, the KMC decided to start work on a smaller stretch to meet the deadline given by chief minister Mamata Banerjee. While inaugurating the riverfront beautification project four months ago, Mamata gave KMC a year to wrap up the beautification job on the 1-km stretch. The CM had even promised that KMC engineers would be rewarded if the first phase of the projects was completed in six months.
The KMC civic engineering department awarded the beautification contract for the first phase to Bridge & Roof Construction Company. The company started work a week ago. "Right now, the construction company will concentrate on beautifying a 250-metre stretch. The beautification in this phase will include providing infrastructure to the riverfront. We will construct a pathway, renovate two ghats and provide basic infrastructure facilities along the 250-metre stretch," said a KMC official.
The entire 1-km stretch that has been handed over to the KMC authorities will get a facelift to attract tourists, said mayor Sovan Chatterjee. "We will construct an elevated platform along the Hooghly so as to enable the visitors to have a glimpse of the beauty of the river. We have designed a pathway along the river that will match international standards. We have planned to build cafeteria for the visitors," said a senior KMC official. The KMC authorities have given a six months time to Bridge & Roof to complete civil work on the entire length.

This is a rather obvious question. I'm sure most of us would feel sad.
I was wondering what would you feel if your parents die, for most of us our parents are just a piece of rock on the middle of the road
I'll feel very sad if one day may parents die, how about you, what would you feel, would you feel happy or sad?
This is a rather obvious question. I'm sure most of us would feel sad.
well to tell you the truth i have no clue what i would do i have never known my mother until seven months ago and i am disowned by my dad so to tell you the truth i have no clue how i would feel. Sorry that i can't really answer the question
as in when we still live at home and depend on them or when they're old people? its a pretty horrible thing to think about. i remember when i was about 5 i always said 'i love you' to my parents before they went to sleep in case they died over night.
I would feel very bad that I lost them. After I grieved, then I would figure out how to pay for college and stuff.

Man you got over them kinda quickly!!Originally Posted by KnightofNi
I dont know what i would do, probably go thru all the stages of grief, and try to find a way to go on.
Well if i knew it was for one day, i would give a party at home and celebrate it.
But hey that's just the stupid me.
