Ezreal Build Guide by Bishop36
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!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Ezreal, the superior ap carry
Ezreal Build
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.
Mid or counter adc
This build is best played in mid or bottom replacing the adc. You will easily dominate either lane with very few champions giving Ezreal real hassle. If you play bot apc make sure you have a ranged adc in top lane or you will suffer late game.
The goal is to poke your enemy out of the lane while aiming for maximum cs. After level six you should be able to go and easily gank anywhere on the map or even show up and gank your own lane. Nobody ever expects how powerful you are at this point.

THE long wait is all but over - the lucky stallion to be the first to serve Black Caviar will officially be announced on Wednesday.
Werrett met with the four other families who own the unbeaten champ, and will spend the next 24 hours informing the respective studs of their decision.
An announcement on the lucky suitor was expected Monday, but Werrett said the owners had not had the chance to catch up on the weekend.
Redoute's Choice, Fastnet Rock, Exceed And Excel, More Than Ready, Casino Prince and bolter Northern Meteor - who is vying for first-season sire honours - are the six confirmed contenders.
"And I'll try contacting the studs tomorrow to let them know our decision. They've been very good to us," Werrett said.
"We'll then make an announcement on Wednesday night, if not Thursday night. We wanted to leave it until as late as we could."
Black Caviar capped her stunning career with a win in the Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) in front of a packed Royal Randwick. In that same week her little brother fetched a record $5 million price at the Easter Inglis Sales.
The mighty mare who captured the imagination of the racing world finished with 25 wins from as many starts and nearly $8 million in prizemoney.The breeding industry is about to enter an exciting new era. Not only is Black Caviar to be served for the first time, but champion colts Pierro and All Too Hard are to begin life as expensive studs.
Black Caviar is enjoying life at a secret location.
Originally published as Stallions on shortlist for Caviar

Handmade Monday - art v craft v design
I have some fashion design items going through my head at the moment. My Friend Jess is getting married next year and I'm doing her bridesmaid dresses, We spent Friday looking at fabric and dress styles, so I'm thinking about how I will construct them and doing a bit of research into the best type of boning to use in the bodice of an empire line dress. One of the fabric shops allowed us into their store room - loads of vintage fabrics from all sorts of companies!
I have the prints I started last Wednesday to complete.
Pop over to Handmade Monday and see what everyone else has been up to.
6 comments:
Ooh, that'd be exciting, being allowed in a fabric shop store room! Love the seaside pic - lovely!ReplyDelete
Your prints are coming along great and I love the idea of the funky shoes, you will definitely have to keep us posted about those.ReplyDelete
Jan :o)
Those prints are just awesome! I will have to check back about the funky shoes, that's intriguing. Sorry about your throat and head. When I was teaching high school it seems I used to catch things the first year or so and then I had the strongest immune system. I must have caught every single thing there was to catch! :) Hope you feel better soon.ReplyDelete
Let loose in a fabric store room - heaven!! Your prints look super so far and can't wait to see those bridesmaid creations. Hope you feel better soon.ReplyDelete
Hope you feel better soon. Looking forward to seeing what the design for the dresses will be like. Your prints look great. Mich :)ReplyDelete
Am loving your prints and look forward to hearing more about the shoes.... xxxReplyDelete

The book of Judges, chapter 5, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Cecineruntque Debora et Barac filius Abinoem in die illo dicen tes:
2 "Quia comae excussae sunt in Israel, cum sponte se obtulit populus, benedicite Domino!
3 Audite, reges, percipite auribus, principes; ego sum, ego sum, quae Domino canam, psallam Domino, Deo Israel!
4 Domine, cum exires de Seir, incederes de regione Edom, terra mota est, caelique stillaverunt, ac nubes stillaverunt aquis;
5 montes fluxerunt a facie Domini Sinai, a facie Domini, Dei Israel.
6 In diebus Samgar filii Anath, in diebus Iahel quieverunt semitae; et, qui ingrediebantur per eas, ambulaverunt per calles devios.
7 Cessaverunt fortes in Israel et quieverunt, donec surgeres, Debora, surgeres mater in Israel.
8 Elegerunt deos novos; tunc erat pugna in portis. Clipeus et hasta non apparuerunt in quadraginta milibus Israel.
9 Cor meum diligit principes Israel. Qui sponte obtulistis vos in populo, benedicite Domino!
10 Qui ascenditis super nitentes asinas et sedetis super tapetia et ambulatis in via, loquimini.
11 Ad vocem eorum, qui distribuunt aquas ad canales, ibi narrant iustitias Domini, iustitias fortitudinis eius in Israel: tunc descendit populus Domini ad portas.
12 Surge, surge, Debora; surge, surge et loquere canticum! Surge, Barac, et apprehende captivos tuos, fili Abinoem!
13 Tunc descenderunt reliquiae ad inclitos, populus Domini descendit pro eo in fortibus.
14 Ex Ephraim venerunt principes in vallem post te, Beniamin, in populis tuis. De Machir principes descenderunt, et de Zabulon, qui tenent sceptrum, praefecti.
15 Duces Issachar fuere cum Debora; sic Barac in vallem missus cum peditibus suis. In pagis Ruben magna consilia cordis.
16 Quare sedebas inter caulas, ut audires sibilos tibiae apud greges? Pagis Ruben magnae investigationes cordis.
17 Galaad trans Iordanem quiescebat; et Dan cur peregrinus vacabat navibus? Aser habitabat in litore maris et in portibus morabatur.
18 Zabulon vero obtulit animam suam morti, et Nephthali super excelsa regionis.
19 Venerunt reges et pugnaverunt, pugnaverunt reges Chanaan in Thanach iuxta aquas Mageddo, praedam argenti non tulere!
20 De caelo dimicaverunt stellae, cursu suo adversus Sisaram pugnaverunt.
21 Torrens Cison traxit cadavera eorum, torrens proeliorum, torrens Cison; incede, anima mea, fortiter.
22 Tunc calcaverunt ungulae equorum in cursu praecipiti fortium suorum.
23 Maledicite, Meroz, dixit angelus Domini, maledicite habitatoribus eius, quia non venerunt ad auxilium Domini, in adiutorium Domini in fortibus.
24 Benedicta prae mulieribus Iahel uxor Haber Cinaei, prae mulieribus tabernaculi benedicatur!
25 Aquam petenti lac dedit et in phiala principum obtulit butyrum.
26 Sinistram manum misit ad clavum et dextram ad fabrorum malleum: percussitque Sisaram quaerens in capite vulneri locum et tempus valide perforans.
27 Inter pedes eius ruit, cecidit, iacebat; inter pedes eius ruit, cecidit; ubi ruit, ibi iacebat exanimis.
28 Per fenestram prospiciens eiulabat mater Sisarae per cancellos: "Cur moratur regredi currus eius? Quare tardant rotae quadrigarum illius?"
29 Una sapientior ceteris uxoribus respondit ei, et ipsa sibi repetit verba illius:
30 "Certo nunc dividunt inventa spolia, unam, duas feminas singulis viris; duas vestes diversorum colorum Sisarae in praedam; unam, duas texturas discolores collo meo in praedam"
31 Sic pereant omnes inimici tui, Domine! Qui autem diligunt eum, rutilent, sicut sol in ortu suo splendet"
32 Quievitque terra per quadraginta annos.
King James Version
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
4 LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
5 The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
11 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
31 So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

Its always a Head Turner and would always be one for sure.. After all its the PUnto.. :wow
2009 or 2010 Punto is obviously a Head turner - Admiration equally guaranteed like its elder sibling :clapping
Amogh, has the quality of plastics improved? Oh wow, that's good to hear. Can somebody post comparison pics if you have access to both these models?
And yea.. my first plastic part fell off last night I guess, which I saw lying near the driver seat - the bonnet opener handle had fallen off :lol: and I had to push the damn thing in.
Dude i think the lever is detachable. Refer the thread "Do you know series". VP has mentioned it.
Ah! Thanks for that! And yes like VP has mentioned I had to push it in hard to fit it into the groove.
Naveen that lock is detachable.. u can fix it back... No worries its normal...
2009.: ::O Head Turner (People waiting to c more)
2010.: :dance Head Turner (People can c more)
2010.: :clapping Head Turner (more n more on road) :car
I have posted on other thread "Introduction"... I am buying a BS3, 2009 model.. i was told its may/june 2009 manufactured and brought into the dealer around 2010 Q1... ::OO
These might be Promotional Cars (My friend Over Heard this when the sales man was discussing abt discounts with his senior... when we visited the Showroom) and what I am assuming is FIAT over produced the cars in 2009, as they were unable to sell that many.. it may have been lying in thier yards in pune...and to get rid of them they might have given huge incentives to push these cars off thier yards and make space for next gen cars... :hit may be buy 10 & get 1 free types for dealers... which is why huge discounts on such models.. :drinks
personally, as long as RTO is able to register these models and FIAT can service the models, I dont see any issues... or else God help the Queen and Me !!! :helmet

Catholic bishop arrested in China
Chinese police have detained one of the country's Roman Catholic bishops a US religious rights group reported yesterday. The US based Cardinal Kung Foundation announced that Wei Jingyi, underground Roman Catholic bishop of Qiqihar in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, was arrested and taken into custody by police on 5 March. The Roman Catholic Church has been forced to operate underground as the government has intensified its persecution of independent religious groups. Bishop Wei has already endured two spells in labour camps totalling more than four years during the eighties and nineties. The Chinese Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the report. In theory Chinese law guarantees a degree of religious freedom, but the Communist government forbids all worship outside state-backed "patriotic" religious groups which it effectively controls. China broke links with the Vatican soon after the Communists took sole control of the country. During the 1950's the government expelled foreign clergy and established its own state approved 'Catholic church', the China Patriotic Catholic Association, which pledges loyalty to Beijing rather than the Pope. Despite continual harassment and arrest of its priests and members, the Roman Catholic Church in China claims an estimated eight million worshippers, double the total for the government approved body.

All 5 movie Reviews
super marrio parodies
Rated 2 / 5 stars
spoof, of a spoof
As viewers, were all tired of the bad spoofs of mario, the matrix, and others. This movie seems like its from the point of a viewer. He used the acknowlegement that these movies are bad to make a funny movie. Still though, is it even that funny to spoof bad spoofs?
As another spoof, this was average, just what as it was looking for, but genious, smart, clever, or inteligent should not be at all involved in description of this movie. I dont consider it that hard to figure out that alot of these artists make terrible flashes. Average, not to clever, even though he turned the whole thing around on these bad artists. i deffinetly get the joke, its just not a good one.
Metal Gear Shake Eater 2
Rated 4 / 5 stars
not as good as the first. u should resubmit the flash with a custom loading screen, make the prophets the FDA(food and drug administration) and make shake bleed like a bluish shake. also get ride of that toilet. FYI you can change it woithout actually resubmittign it and it will go in the portal.
other wise great flash. also the dialog was incredible for a parady. sounds like hideo wrote it himself.
3 ways to kill a man
Rated 3 / 5 stars
not too good at all but the figures were really good. i likes them becuase they were more human like than knoxes figures. keep working and you could have something funny.
My Tear for London
Rated 4 / 5 stars
You know im american!
the last review says that americans dont care so much. i totally disagree. my only problem is that this movie is hard to judge. i dont really care to see britan terrorist movies. also i have seen WAY to many flash tributes to 9,11. i dont like seeing them. but this type of flash take on way too much. it is a flash, and if its on NG, it should be expected to be judged like any other movie. but i dont want to say anything about the victims, espewcially if it is negative. this movie is unneeded, and wont solve a damn thing. i just wanna see things the way they are, sad, not greedy by making a front page movie. this movie takes too many things and puts it into a format i never want to see.Everybody should have a tear for london. you dont have to say it.
Rise of the Lifeless
Rated 0 / 5 stars
you know i never EVER write reviews, but this is it, this is the gayest piece of shit ive ever seen. This shit is worse than my sprite movie!. This was trash and i will make sure it is blammed and put down. the strawberry clock think was never OUTRAGIOUSLY funny, so y coppy it. not only did this suck, but alot of other clock movies sucked too, but this was by far the gayest thing ever. the only sad part is that you actually took time out of your life to spawn something so sensless. usualy im preety fair with judging, but this was not meant to exist.
Thank you! <3

If your kiddo's off to explore a make-believe tropical jungle or ready to journey on his imaginary ocean, it's probably a good idea to equip him with a craft compass so he can find his imaginary way home. The two of you can work together to make this important navigational tool and he'll be all set for his future pretend play adventures, too. If you find yourself entertaining a group of little explorers or pirates at your kiddo's next birthday party, make sure none of them ever get lost on their imaginary adventures by turning the compass into a party craft.
1 Cover up your work surface with some newspaper or an old cloth and cover up your child's clothing with an apron or painting smock -- a little preparation now saves you from hours of elbow grease later.
2 Place the paper plate face up on the table and have your child paint the entire plate black. Send him off to prepare for his upcoming journey while the paint dries thoroughly. You can then give the back of the compass a coat of black paint if you like.
3 Cut out four felt or construction paper letters while the paint is drying. You'll need "N," "E," "S" and "W" for the compass' directions.
4 Glue the letters around the outer edge of the compass. Talk about direction and the purpose of a compass while he works.
5 Cut an arrow shape from a piece of card stock for the compass' needle. You can also use cardboard or a wooden craft stick, but you'll have to cut the craft stick in half and drill a hole through one end to make it work.
6 Poke a craft brad through one end of the arrow and puncture it through the center of the compass. Press the prongs of the brad up against the underside of the compass to close it loosely.
Items you will need
- Newspaper or old cloth
- Apron or painting smock
- Paper plate
- Black, child-safe paint
- Felt or construction paper
- Scissors
- Craft glue
- Card stock (cardboard or wooden craft stick)
- Craft brad
- If the full-size paper plate compass is too big, you can cut off the outer edge before you begin the craft and use the inner circle instead.

Choosing the best home loan has become complicated since the lending industry is complex and competitive. The home mortgage loans are available at different rates and variations. There are variable and fixed rates and the introductory rates that are usually offered to many lenders with principal and interest and interest only repayment methods. The features and the home loan mortgage rates that are provided by every bank are different with some variations that suit the needs of the banks. There are critical factors to consider when choosing the best home mortgage loan.
Critical factors
Comparison shop
Ensure that you meet with the several mortgage brokers or lenders before you eventually make a decision. Get the relevant information from the various service providers that you meet like the offers, contract terms, and interest rates.
Compare all these factors and choose one that best addresses your needs. Research has shown that many people only contact a single lender or mortgage broker. As a result, may have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result.
Mortgage brokers
Decide whether you want to use the mortgage brokers or not. The mortgage brokers are important when you have a short time frame to seal the deal. Since they are seasoned in the mortgage market, they know the market inside out and will advise you based on your budget or what you want.
You should, however, tread carefully when choosing the mortgage brokers because there are some who are unscrupulous. Ensure that you deal with a mortgage broker who is licensed and has a good reputation. You can get references from friends, families, and neighbors on the same.
Read the contract
Do not let your ignorance cost you. Many people do not understand the contracts that they are brought to sign by the lenders. Make sure that you read clause by clause and that you know.
If you don't know any requirement, and you need clarification, ask the lending companies to clarify it for you. It is recommended to tag a lawyer along who can help you in interpreting the clauses on the contract and the legal implications in the event you violate any.
Type of rate
The kind of rate is also essential when choosing the best home mortgage loan. Some lenders offer the adjustable rate mortgage whereas there are those who offer the fixed-rate mortgage.
The fixed rate puts you in a consistent interest rate which you will pay within the duration of the loan. The adjustable rate mortgage can be altered with time.

BOSTON -- The Bruins put on a competitive face and said they were as hungry as theyve ever been entering the postseason.
They talked of repeating as Stanley Cup champs and making the kind of NHL history that hadnt been seen since some pretty great Detroit Red Wings made their mark on the NHL in the late 1990s. But action is a little more difficult than words when it comes to repeating as Stanley Cup champs, and the Bruins found that out swiftly and consistently in dropping a seven-game series to the Washington Capitals.
Theres a reason that hockey dynasties have gone the way of the Dodo bird and the dinosaurs, and the Bruins found that out firsthand.
The final straw was a 2-1 overtime loss to the Caps at TD Garden on a Joel Ward game-winning goal that arrived after a Benoit Pouliot dump attempt was intercepted at the blue line. The Capitals caught the Bruins in a line change when the puck was reversed back into the Bruins end of the ice, and that was that.
The elimination defeat served as the last stinging reminder to the Black and Gold that heavy is the crown on the head of the Stanley Cup champs.
The 107 games played last season between the regular season and the playoffs, the short two-month offseason that followed their June 15 Cup victory in Vancouver in Game 7 of the Finals and a grueling regular season where every team threw their hardest roundhouse punches at the Bruins finally ended up taking its toll.
Theres a reason the Bruins became the seventh Stanley Cup champ in the last nine seasons to fail to get out of the first round the year following their capture of the Cup. Theres also a good reason why each of the four teams from last years conference finals are no longer alive and kicking in the postseason. One didnt qualify for the playoffs (Tampa Bay) and the other three were shocking first round casualties.
For a team like the Bruins that endured three seven game-series last year en route to the Cup, there was simply little left in the energy reserves when it came to playoff time.Once digging down deep was required the Bruins found themselves without a shovel for the first time in a long time.
It was a tough season. There were difficult periods at times. I looked around the locker room at many different points during this season and saw some very tired guys, said Tim Thomas, who showed the fatigue as much as anybody else with middling save percentage numbers during the regular season and playoffs. Thats no excuse, thats just reality.
They still found a way to finish second in the conference, get ourselves home ice for the playoffs here, and give ourselves at least an opportunity to get to game seven OT and take it to that next step.
For all intents and purposes the Bruins appeared to be destined to repeat in November and December when they were the NHLs best team and rebounded strongly from a 3-7 start to the season.
They never again attained that high level of play during the remainder of the regular season, and Claude Julien saw a hockey club that didnt have the same kind of oomph once the playoffs commenced this time around.
Were not going to stand here and nitpick at our team. But when I look at this hockey club, what it went through last year, and you look at teams that have been through that situation and how theyve struggled throughout the year, we still finished at the top of our division, we still finished second in the conference, and we had to really grind it out, said Claude Julien. It was a challenging year for our guys, and it was a challenging series as well. Washington made it tough on us, and they deserve a lot of credit for the way they played: the number of shots they blocked and how they helped their goaltender throughout.
A young goaltender played extremely well, so lets not forget to give the Capitals a lot of credit for how they handled us. And at the end of the day, when you look at it the team wasnt playing its best hockey in the series. Before this day started, you just hope that you can get through this Game Seven and hope to pick some momentum up as you move forward in the playoffs. But you had to get through this game, and we werent able to do that.
The energy reserve and unbridled enthusiasm required to pick up momentum in the playoffs just couldnt be consistently maintained by the Bruins. They showed admirable fight in spurts. The champions pride rose up during Game 3 in Washington DC when Milan Lucic and Brad Marchand stirred the emotional pot to a needed road win, and the Bruins appeared to find the necessary level for ultimate success.
But they couldnt maintain that level even in the next game in Washington DC, and they couldnt find anything close to it for 60 minute efforts throughout the series.
Lucic went seven games without a goal in his second straight no-show in the first round of the playoffs, Marchand didnt have his infectious energy on a consistent basis and David Krejci finished off a forgettable playoff performance by losing 10-of-15 face-offs while trying to step up for the injured Patrice Bergeron.
Zdeno Chara wasnt his dominant self at either end of the ice and suffered some uncharacteristic mental breakdowns throughout the series, and the bottom two Bs forward lines were outplayed by their Capitals counterparts when it mattered most in Game 7. While the Capitals were throwing themselves in front of heat-seeking missile pucks and the bottom lines were playing with fire in their hearts, the Bruins couldnt fight their way to the front of the net for loose pucks that were there throughout the seven-game set with Braden Holtby.
The whole year has been a mental challenge for our guys. Physically, I dont think its that big of an issue because guys are in great shape, but the mental part of it is just a challenge. It just seems like, even getting into these playoffs, it seemed like it was just yesterday wed gone through it. So things happen fast, said Julien. The summer was short, guys came back, and now youre asking them to re-focus for a whole season, and thats not an easy task to do.
We had a slow start, and we finally picked it up again, and midway through the season, February, we started having our struggles again. We tried to pick it up at the end of the year, which we did a little bit. But I dont think our team was in tune as well as it was at this time last year.
Instead the Bruins didnt pack the same kind of emotional punch and their core players looked like lesser versions of themselves aside from Tyler Seguin, Dennis Seidenberg and Rich Peverley. The Bruins never consistently showed the same hunger as a Washington Capitals team that sits on the precipice of being dismantled if they dont have a strong showing during the playoffs. The disparity in desperation and frenzied playoff-level focus was readily apparent throughout the series, and the uphill battle for most Bruins players was obvious.
Nobody wants to say there was relief the season was over for a Bruins team that has set high expectations for itself year in and year out.
But there also wasnt the kind of emotional pain and tangible crestfallen mood thats consistent in a dressing room when realization sets in that a season is over.
Instead Milan Lucic was left in the Bs dressing room at the end of the postgame availability reliving the grueling gauntlet as reigning Cup champs. The Bs power forward vowed to be bigger, better and badder next season after a longer offseason to recharge the batteries, and he needs to be after a bad playoff performance.
It was real tough. I dont want to make excuses, but it was real tough to get yourself mentally prepared to start that season, to get ready for the grind of the season and even the playoffs. Especially ending the way that we did with 22 games in the last 40 days of the season, you know, youre definitely feeling it after that, admitted Lucic. But like I said, you dont want to make excuses. But now with this time off we wont have any excuses for next year. Weve got to do whatever we can to get our rest and come in healthy and ready to play next season.
There will also be that helpful sting of their hockey season being done in April for the first time in five seasons. That will give the Bruins the attitude and energy needed to take down formidable foes in the playoffs.
Because the action-packed focus was missing against a Washington Capitals team that was clearly beatable.
Ultimately the better team prevailed when the Bruins couldnt rekindle the kind of fire it required to take it to the glorious next level last season, and fulfilled an NHL prophecy thats become dogma over the last decade.

When the primary server of a redundant pair fails, the secondary server goes from standby to active mode to insure that all essential areas in the project continue to operate.
Areas include:
Device communications and point management.
Alarm management.
User logons.
Runtime interfaces.
Device Communications and Point Management
Device Communications on the secondary server begins actively polling for data and passes point data to the Point Manager on the secondary server, which now becomes the primary Point Manager. Any viewer process that was connected to the original primary Point Manager will automatically switch over to the new primary Point Manager, which will now assume all supervisory and control functions.
Note: Between the time that the primary server is lost and before the secondary server takes over, users may notice an interruption in system performance. During this time, point values will not be updated, setpoints and alarm acknowledgments will not complete, and users will not be able to log on or off.
Alarm Management
The Alarm Manager on the secondary server becomes the primary Alarm Manager. No alarm data is lost because the Alarm Manager on the primary server continually updated the alarm list for the Alarm Manager on the secondary server. The new primary Alarm Manager will now process all alarm updates and provide alarm information to all interested processes.
User Logons
The User Registration process on the secondary server becomes the primary User Registration process. No user registration data is lost because User Registration on the primary server continually updated the user list for User Registration on the secondary server. The new primary User Registration will now process all user logins and logouts and provide information on user views.
Runtime Interfaces
When the primary server fails, all CimView, Alarm Viewer and Point Control Panel sessions running on that server are lost.
CIMPLICITY user interface accessed from console on the primary server.
When the primary server fails, this console is no longer usable. The user will have to move to the console on the secondary server, log in, and access the CIMPLICITY user interface from there.
CIMPLICITY user interface accessed from a Viewer.
The user interfaces will fail over to the new master.
Primary server failure.

I just roasted the best chicken I have ever tasted. Bought it at the Oakland Farmer's market on Saturday. Does anyone have a consistent place they buy pastured chicken? Perhaps less than $7/lb?
Used this recipe tonight: http://nourishedkitchen.com/perfect-r...
subbed the ghee with duck fat and just used the herbs I have in my garden (rosemary, thyme, and parsley).
The flavor was incredible, not sure I want to eat any other type of chicken again. Recently made the full switch to pastured eggs and am certain I won't be looking back.

Villagers Forced to Receive Healthcare Outdoors Following Eviction
For the past five years, Community Health Worker, Everita Luciano Copo and her team, has been offering free clinic services to infants and women of San Jose Nuevo Palmar Village in the Orange Walk District. Copo decided to do the same this year at the community center where she would usually hold the clinics. But unbeknownst to Copo, all her supplies and equipment were removed from the center. So Copo decided to use the center's verandah to offer the free services to the villagers.
Our attempts so far to contact the village's chairman have been futile.

Rifftrax Live: Samurai Cop
April 13 @ 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Event Navigation
In movie theaters for the first time, Samurai Cop follows Joe, a cop they call Samurai, who takes himself and his fabulous hair (really, it is an amazing thing to behold) to Los Angeles from the faraway land of San Diego to bust up a gang whose stated goal is putting someone's head on their piano. Joe and his partner, whose main task is to shamelessly mug to the camera, run up against MST3K fan-favorite, Robert Z'Dar, for some insanely awful and hilarious fight scenes.

So we are back with todays betting pick, and we think we have a very good one today. It's the Danish Superleague where AGF Aarhus is up against FC Nordsjælland.
The guests are in a very bad shape lately. Losing one match after another. They have lost key players and the players are the youngest squad in the Superleague.
Click here to bet --->
On the other hand we have AGF Aarhus, they have not had the best results lately but they should have won in Aalborg even with a lot of players out, Now they are back with their strongest team and even with two new quality players. They've got Jesper Juelsgård from Brøndby and Chris Ikonomidis from Lazio. Two strong players that will help today.
AGF will play with a STRONG line-up, in the term of physique. They are strong and they intent to play like this because of the young players from Nordsjælland who isn't psyically strong.
Todays bet is:
Bet on AGF to win against FC Nordsjælland. Odds 2.02 at bet365.

This application is a continuation of application Serial No. 11/121,895, filed May 4, 2005, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,525,034 entitled METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGE INTERPRETATION INTO SOUND.
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for relating images and sounds and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for providing an interpretation of an image and presenting that interpretation as sound data.
Creators of visual images in the form of photographs, video, paintings, sculptures, architecture, consumer or industrial products, or photographic or video documentation of these, for example, have control over the visual presentation of their work. However, heretofore sound interpretation of the work has been performed separately and removed from direct interpretation of the work. Another individual may provide his or her own interpretation of the work in the form of a musical score or other sound recording to accompany the work when displayed. Often the work is displayed without accompanying music or other sound data or is simply paired with preexisting music created unrelated to the visual work.
Various attempts have been made to provide a conversion of an image to sound. However, these methods have often simply matched colors to notes or notes to colors which are played in a predetermined sequence without regard to the visual interpretation of the work or the creator's sound interpretation. Additionally, visual and the subsequent sound interpretation of visual images is highly subjective according to the intended meaning and presentation of the creator and thus is not readily disposed to a simple translation process.
Accordingly, there is a need for a method and apparatus which enables a user to develop a sound directly from data derived from one or more images which reflects the user's interpretation of the image.
The present invention provides a method and apparatus to analyze and interpret digital images at a variety of levels of detail from overall impression down to an individual pixel. The resulting digital interpretation and resulting data may then be interpreted using a variety of predetermined and user-defined schemes to generate digital sound data. The sound data may be used as generated to output sound or may be further manipulated or combined on various other levels or edited using sound editing software.
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for image to sound interpretation. An original soundtrack may be produced based on an interpretation of a still digital image or series of digital images in a video or slide presentation, for example. Similar images may be interpreted to produce a similar soundtrack or sound. Images that are related may be interpreted to produce related but different sounds. Sound samples or notes, for example, may be mapped to a specific color and thus be used as an analog for that color when interpreting an image. Certain aspects of an image may be selectively emphasized to highlight or direct the interpretation of the image as presented in sound.
The present invention provides a means for an artist to create a royalty-free soundtrack of his or her own work. The user may emphasize in the soundtrack what he or she wanted to emphasize in the work. The present invention also allows for a non-emotional, objective interpretation of the work in the same way that the artist's material can be non-emotional.
Referring to
A value may be assigned to each single pixel or group of pixels depending on the resolution and characteristics such as color, saturation, darkness, brightness and relationship to surrounding pixels, in a process referred to as sonelization. This value is converted to a sound element or sonel and assigned a sound based on application defaults or user presets. Each sonel may include a color value and a grayscale value, for example. A group of sonels may then be ordered to produce a soundtrack.
Through the default settings for sound or user entered sounds, each sonel may be assigned a sound based on its value. The intensity of the color or grayscale value assigned or associated with a particular sonel may be used to determine the volume or loudness of the sound. Abruptness in grayscale changes from one sonel to the next may be used to determine a rhythm when sonels are placed in a soundtrack order based on the scanning choice.
An object sonel, such as the triangle 12, circle 14 or square 16 may be defined by selecting the object from a menu of geometric shapes and positioning the object over an area of the image, or defined by a user-created polygonal or curved shape positioned over an area of the image, which is then analyzed and assigned a sonel value.
A field sonel, such as area 18, for an area of color or an image's overall color, may be defined by selection of the field and resolution to use for analysis. The average value for all the points selected at a resolution is calculated to determine the sonel value for the selected field.

Using these patterns or other patterns, a longer soundtrack for a single image may be created. A more complex grid of several hundred or thousands of squares or other shapes may be created and analyzed linearly (in numerous directions) concentrically, radially, etc. or user ordered, or follow intra-image shapes, for example. Higher resolution would allow more analyses of detail such as brush strokes for instance, which may provide changes in rhythm. One type of preset may have a quiet sunset image producing a pleasant soundtrack with fewer rhythmic changes and less tonal change than an urban street scene with a variety of colors and contrast, for example. The opposite of the typical preset may also be used for an abstract unexpected effect. Presets that are designated for a sonel based on shape or brush stroke, texture variance, may be used to provide other analytical uses.

When scanning from point A to point B, the tone changes from a happy tone in the range illustrated by the continuum 208, to a mixture of happy to somber 210, to a somber tone 212, as the sample ranges from light to dark. The frequency 214 of the sample varies from a higher frequency toward the top side of the cylinder 206 to a lower frequency. Additionally, the volume 216 of the sample may be set by the user to vary over a small range.

Sonels may also be ordered by color or grayscale values for an entire image or sub-areas of an image using histograms, for example.
Four Monet paintings such as Houses of Parliament (
For this example, the user begins with four Monet paintings of different subject matter. The software may be set by the user to scan each image in the same way so that it will produce the same sound when similar sonels are found in each painting. This will provide a soundtrack for all four or the images that will sound similar in the same way that music written by the same composer can.
Generally, in Monet's work (or any artist's work) there will be common ways of handling color, composition, brushwork, or subject matter, for example. What is similar in these works are the mark making caused by the small linear brush strokes placed side by side, a relative low contrast between the lightest and darkest colors, soft edges of the objects, a sense of atmospheric perspective, and a main subject with a definite foreground, middle ground and background. What differs in these four paintings are the subject matter and its effect on the composition, and color.
When first seen, Monet's works were accused of looking like confetti. This metaphor may be the basis for the soundtracks. In the Houses of Parliament painting,
When scanning the images from upper left to lower right, the House of Parliament (
Artistic movements such as the French Impressionists of the late 19th Century may all sound related when compared to Italian Renaissance painters, in the same way that music from a certain time period sounds related when compared to a style from another time.
Referring to
Scans of all four paintings would find similarities in overall shapes created by the arches of the bridge. This object sonel would be assigned a sound sample that would be common to all four soundtracks.
The grayscale scans of the paintings provide the rhythm from the brush strokes. The grayscale value indicates the emphasis of the beat. The rhythmic changes are more pronounced in the paintings of

All four paintings are similar in their basic composition. The person(s) in the portrait is centered in the painting and has a background behind them. Referring to

One interpretation could be as follows: setting the color and brightness to produce the tone/key of the artwork and setting the rhythm based on the amount of detail within the color fields. Because the color fields that would be sonelized would become proportionately larger from the earliest artwork to the latest, the soundtracks would go from being quite complex but with tonally limited range such as daVinci's painting
Five images of beach sunsets would sound similar because they are based on the composition of sun shape, cloud shapes and horizon, but would differ based on intensity of value and colors.
By way of another example, a user may define intra-image shapes which are then sonelized. Different shaped and colored objects may produce different sounds. The user may define a repeating object in an image as a set of pixels and that set of pixels is sonelized and assigned a sound. The same or similar object pixel sets within the image are then given the same or similar sound. An image of an apple tree laden with apples would produce the same sound whenever the scan reached the pixel sets defined by selecting the apple shape, for example. Different color apples would have a similar sound.
The user may set up parameters for sounds, run the program in a random scan or without user input to analyze a painting or other image and produce the corresponding sound track. The user may define some areas or objects as similar in advance which are then used to analyze the differences between objects only within a limited range to produce related sounds. The system may automatically determine which objects in an image are similar for review by the user. The user has the option to accept or reject the automatic determination which is used for the analysis and sonelization as described hereinabove.
Family reunion pictures at a Fourth of July picnic or Christmas gathering would have commonality but distinct sounds because the subjects may have similar dress, color of background and decorations, but the faces and body shapes, and number of subjects would create difference when the pictures are sonelized.
A counterfeit painting may have a sound different from the original because of discrepancies in brushwork, paint pigment reflection, age, etc. A convincing counterfeit may sound really close to the sound of the original. This may require that the image be scanned using infrared or x-ray or raking light rather than a "straight" scan of normal light.
Similarly text such as poetry, literature, or virtually any text may be scanned and treated as an image and proceed as above with sonelization. Poetry could become lyrics to music or literature could be accompanied with user chosen sounds. Shapes of letters or clusters may be treated equivalently to how a complex drawing may be treated. Shapes of letters, length of words and spaces between may be used determine the soundtrack. The choice of font, bold and/or italicized text may be used for volume and rhythm in the analysis.
For all of the above, as with all uses, the program may give user the ability to "dial-in" or "dial-out" from the initial version of the soundtrack. The program may, if the initial soundtrack version is retained, narrow or expand the differences or be semi-randomized and rerun until the user is satisfied or feels the soundtrack is ready, or may be further refined though the use of separate sound editing software.
Referring to
In the first case where the user considers the images unrelated, each is analyzed by the software with or without various, available user-defined settings. For example, the user may want the length of the sound associated with each image to be the same, and may want the type of sound to be similar—whatever the user considers the appropriate 'everyday' sound group, or that each image's sound is developed using individual sound groups—for example: machine sounds (
In the second case where the user considers the images related, each is analyzed by the software using more or less of the available user-defined settings. For example, the user may decide only that all four images sounds are to be generated from the same family of sounds such as from the 'people' sound group rather than the 'nature' or 'orchestral' sound group. Or, the user may want to have the software determine the similarities among the images; for example, curved shapes or average gray-scale values or linear qualities, and then approve or further modify the resulting sound. For example, the relative amount of the determined or selected similar quality in each image may determine the intensity of the sound for each image within the chosen sound group, or be the measure of the amount of the use of the common sound group within each image's soundtrack, and the remainder determined by other individual image qualities. The user may decide that each image appears to be coming forward out of the image frame, and thus has an aggressive aspect, and use a sound group from the sound library that the user considers aggressive. Or, the user may choose to use some of the software's graphic tools to outline related shapes, for example all curved shapes, or all red shapes, or all light valued shapes, and then have the program base its sound determination upon those choices.
Contemporary fine art video is often a "collage" of imagery. This software allows the user to have and attach a collage of sound that is exclusive to the originating image(ry).
For video, what changes from scene to scene may be used to derive the sound. A relatively static scene may have main characters providing most of the image variance through changes in their positions or relative size or percentage of the frame. An overlapping soundtrack (concurrent with a background soundtrack) based on the character movement from frame to frame may be used to provide most of the variance in the sound. In one use the overlapping track could emphasize or play off of the background track. In another use, the background could be developed completely independently.
Even with just one tone/volume combination from each frame, the user may determine that there is too much sound information (at say 24 frames/sec) and the sound would be confusing or too complicated. The user may have the option to undersample the video at one-half, one-third or one-fourth the frame rate per second, for example. Since there are times when the scene changes abruptly between two adjacent frames, the program may provide the flexibility to manually analyze the two frames and perhaps reset the interval from that point going forward and backward.
A video may add a time element to the program's use of static images. Each frame of the video may be treated both individually by the program as a series of static images, and to consider the series of images as a related whole.
A consideration may be the rapid accumulation of data, and the ability of a given version of the software and hardware to handle the data. A reduced level of detail in evaluating each individual frame and the ability to analyze generalized and specific similarities and differences among frames and groups of frames may be part of the analysis.
Referring to
In the same example, the time element, or length of the sound or sonel associated with each frame is determined. In a default mode, each frame's sound may have a length equal to the length of time the frame is displayed as the video plays. In television broadcast terms, a range of 25 to 29.97 frames per second is standard depending upon the broadcast format used. Thus, using every frame for an individual sound may not be practical. The program may have the option of a user-determined number of successive frames to be averaged for a single sound, while the program would still be able to identify significant break points, regardless of the user-determined number of grouped, successive frames.
Simplified software for educational setting may be used utilizing elements from above. While we are thought of as 'visual creatures', we may miss a lot if we place too much emphasis on the visual, or the literal visual. Absorbing visual information in a less literal way (noticing the lines and contrasts of a snowy fence as opposed to simply noting 'that's a fence') yields alternate, sometimes more information. The further abstraction of the visual image into sound furthers this process and opportunity for understanding.
Current media, products, advertisements, and societal direction trend toward domination by video and visual; this invention promotes more consideration of the audible. Oftentimes in art history lectures, music analogies are used in critical discussions: terms such as rhythm, harmony of forms and color passages from one area to another of the artwork. This invention provides an educational tool along those lines actually using sound/music to provide another method of analysis. In addition to "look!", the instructor can say "listen!".
A handheld device with built in digital camera and computer may have analysis software built in that would provide real time sonelization of a subject or scene as encountered directly by the user. Kids could taunt each other by how their appearance sounded. Cell phone users could create their own signature phone ring. "On hold music" may be customized based on receptionist, or scene, for example.
Using presets, (determined by convention) visually impaired persons could experience a scene or person's appearance and then have a basis of comparison when scanning the same person or scene or when encountering the next person or situation. Visually impaired persons could have a recording of their experience to share with others who are also visually impaired and those who are not.
Using presets, a museum could scan all of its artwork and along with a verbal description, the works could have musical/sound interpretations that would help emphasize what is considered important about each work. Museum organizations could agree upon presets so that for example French Impressionist, Abstract Expressionist, Pop Art, etc., would have consistent sound from one museum visit to another.
Predefined shapes of pixels may be sonelized specifically. The user may be audibly alerted with specificity when one of the shapes has been identified from a camera image, for example. This allows user to be visually assisted, without the user actually having to be in constant visual contact with the surveyed scene or monitor. A portable device may be used to scan a scene, therefore leaving the user free for other activity. Scan analysis may be in the visual and non-visual spectrum.
Using a preset sonelization set by convention for various visual symptoms (skin discoloration, musculo-skeletal deformity, weight loss/gain, etc.) a patient may be scanned or a photo may be entered into a computer and his/her image(s) would produce music/sound that would become a baseline. Subsequent visits would indicate changes, or progress on treatment, based on changes in soundtrack.
It should be understood that while a certain form of this invention has been illustrated and described, it is not limited thereto except insofar as such limitations are included in the following claims.
