MISFITEERS! It's fall!
I had a few other post ideas lined up this week, but with all the rain storms outside and the heater blazing, there's nothing else I want to write about! Fall! Do you know what that means? Pumpkin spice lattes! Pumpkin spice cupcakes! Rain! Storm! Hot tea! Perfect writing weather!
So, like, I kind of love fall.
And although I love writing all year round, there's something about the gloomy darkness of fall that makes sitting down with manuscripts--or books to read--that much better. But not just *all* manuscripts. I've come to realize that my shiny new ideas and my favorite reads change with the season.
When the days become longer, and the weather hotter, I love to work on contemporary stories. Then, when summer sets in, I prefer my stories to be more mysterious, adventurous, and more magical. Either thrillers, or magical realism. And slowly, my fall and winter stories sneak up on me. These last couple, once the weather turned, I invariably got the urge to read and write fantasy and other speculative fiction. Secondary worlds, new planets, epic battles and broad scopes, everything that's just as immersive as curling up near the heater with a blanket and a nice cup of latte. (Though let's be honest, obviously I love fantasy all year round.)
And once the sun breaks through the ice again, the whole circle starts all over again. *g*
Which obviously makes me wonder:
Do you have seasonal stories? Do you turn to different books when the leaves fall? Or do you just as happily write the same type of stories as in, say, sunny June?

...or in your house, or on you. First, don't panic. Second, you should really CALL MY OFFICE.
If I could do only one kind of criminal case, it would be cases involving guns and drugs. That's because these cases are never simple. There is always something to talk about. But they are also constitutionally important. By their very nature, gun and drugs cases often implicate our basic rights as citizens to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. These are your rights and mine, and they are worth protecting.
Possession Cases - Can the State Prove it?
Whether we are talking drugs or guns, these cases generally ask whether the government can prove that you were in knowing "possession" of an item prohibited by law. Under Indiana law, there are two ways to prove possession of something. Firstly, the State may seek to prove "actual possession" by showing that an accused person had direct physical control over a prohibited item. However, the State may also make it's case by proving that an accused person had "constructive possession" of something beyond a reasonable doubt. To make a case for constructive possession, the State must show that a defendant had both an intent as well as the capability to maintain dominion and control over the contraband item. This is obviously a much harder case for the government to make. What if there are multiple people found near the guns or drugs? What if there's only one person found with the drugs but the State cannot show that the defendant knew the drugs or gun were there? These cases are all unique and complex in their own way. At the Law Office of Jesse K. Sanchez, your attorney will know how to analyze the case to determine what evidence the State really has against you. For a more information don't hesitate to CONTACT ME.
Be Aware that You Might Have a Valid Argument to Suppress Evidence
While arguments to suppress evidence are often quite complicated, all "motions to suppress" essentially claim that the rights of the accused person were violated in some fundamental way and, therefore, any evidence gained from the violation should be excluded from evidence or "suppressed."
It's a controversial technique, because it can take evidence that makes a defendant look "obviously guilty" and get it thrown right out of court. But, the idea here is to deter police misconduct. And, this is exactly what the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution demands in it's guarantee when it states that: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." What's more, under the Indiana Constitution, Article I, Section 11, citizens are protected by even stronger guarantees.
So, was there probable cause for the search warrant of your home? Did the officer have the right to search your vehicle? Did the officer have the right to stop you at all? These are the kinds of questions we ask in a suppression case. To learn more about a potential suppression in your case, CONTACT ME.
What is the quality of the State's evidence?
In drug dealing cases, the State often has to prove something in addition to simple possession (actual or constructive) of a drug. Frequently, the State is required to show that the defendant had an "intent to deliver" drugs in his possession (though, to be clear, there are other ways to make a drug dealing case, such as financing the manufacture or delivery of a drug). This is an interesting element because, to show an intent to deliver, the government must essentially prove what a defendant would have done with drugs at a future time.
How can we know what someone would have done with something in the future? Well, we can't know anyone's future intent with 100% certainty. There's simply no way to measure someone's intent directly. At best, we can make good guesses about a person's intent based on the surrounding circumstances. This kind of indirect evidence is called circumstantial evidence.
For example, if you watch me walk to Starbucks and stand in line, you can make a pretty good guess that my intent is to buy coffee. Can you be certain? No. All of your evidence is indirect, circumstantial. Plus, you could be wrong. Maybe I know the cashier and just wanted to say hi. Maybe I was there to apply for a job.
This is what makes drug dealing cases so nuanced and interesting to analyze. They're frequently chock full of circumstantial evidence, just like in the Starbucks example. The amounts of drugs, the way they are packaged, whether the defendant had money on him and in what amount. The problem with this kind of evidence is that it's always subject to a different interpretation. Just because you saw me standing in line, does not mean I was going to buy coffee. Similarly, just because I had some quantity of cocaine does not mean I was going to sell it. That's the problem with circumstantial evidence.
If you've been charged with Drug Dealing, please contact me for help. I would be happy to sit down with you to discuss the matter.

Why Mahler? at Europe's biggest arts centre
February 19, 2010 by Norman Lebrecht
London's South Bank announced its 2010-2011 classical music season this morning, a season which contains no fewer than 26 Mahler performances and possibly more.
In and around these concerts, I shall be curating a series of events, interpretations, inspirations and provocations under the banner Why Mahler? – which is also the title of my forthcoming book on the composer and his intellectual legacy.
I can't yet announce what's in the series, but I can promise that it will not be nostalgic or retrospective. If Mahler is the biggest selling composer at the 21st century box-office, that must be because his music speaks to the issues of today. People go to Mahler seeking anything from the mysteries of the universe, to a focus of consolation for some intensely personal confusion or loss. Now why is that?
Why Mahler? will try to provide some answers, some further questions, something that relates the music we hear to the world we inhabit. The series will embrace art, politics, religion, science, communications and most other topics that dominate our daily headlines – including, not least, the idolatrous cult of celebrity.
More details in due course.

Dear Norman Lebrecht,
we are looking forward to your comments and to your book Why Mahler.
We are very proud that Mahler was born in our country!!!

And to think that as from 1st March your articles will no longer be available on this site. How are we to learn about the enormous variety of subjects you cover every week if you are only going to write for The Strad? Is your decision really final?
NL replies: As far as the Strad column goes, Maria, it's final – and I'll explain more in a few days. But the rest of my writing will still be accessible online.
Updates? I suppose we shall see…Good luck!
@Jiri Stilec – We are very proud that Mahler was born in YOUR country also!!!

The field of forensic archaeology has developed over recent years from being a branch of conventional archaeology into a well-established discipline in its own right. Forensic Approaches to Buried Remains takes an innovative approach to the subject by placing the role of the forensic archaeologist within the wider forensic environment; it identifies new areas of interdisciplinary research and practice, and evaluates practical difficulties.
The authors see this book as a reflection of the subject's development, and as a knowledge base for the next generation of forensic archaeologists. Areas covered include:
As part of the Essential Forensic Science book series this book will provide students and practitioners alike with an invaluable resource outlining both the major developments in the discipline, as well as original approaches to the search for, and recovery of buried remains.

UC Berkeley is a liberal bastion, no one will doubt that.
On Thursday, they announced that they would reverse their decision to cancel Ann Coulter's lecture.
Previously, the school decided to cancel her lecture out of fear that such a controversial figure would promote violence at the school.
When the ban was in effect, Coulter pledged to speak at the school no matter what, citing her First Amendment rights.
However, the school has decided to reverse the ban and will now let Coulter speak, showing once again how clueless their leadership is and how biased they truly are.
Here is what Coulter said prior to the reversal:
UC Berkeley shuts down .@AnnCoulter's planned speech. Ann: I AM giving the speech. What will they do? Arrest me? pic.twitter.com/Pd6AM5J99X
— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) April 20, 2017
Even President Donald Trump criticized the school:
If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view – NO FEDERAL FUNDS?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2017
Shame on Berkeley for allowing their students to violently protest against Trump and not allowing conservative students to voice their opinions in a peaceful manner.
Liberals don't care about equality and freedom of speech, they only care about it when it affects them. Modern liberal politics are extremely toxic and indicative of the sense of entitlement that young liberals feel.

RIDGEFIELD, Conn. -- Ridgefield police want Pokémon Go players to search safely for the creatures, and produced a creative video with help from The Prospector to show players how to do just that.
Captain Jeff Kreitz and officer Christopher DiFalco appear in the video with players. The video posted Tuesday on The Prospector Facebook page, and had more than 1.7 million page views by early Wednesday afternoon.
"We're happy that the community is out playing Pokémon Go,'' Kreitz said in the video. "However, we do have some safety concerns and we want to make you aware of them."
Kreitz warned players about issues such as trespassing, pedestrian safety, driving and working while playing the game.
"Fabulous!!! So creative, fun, and a great message!!!" one woman wrote on Facebook about the video.

Awards bait and blockbusters
A few fine films for fall 2017
Previewing the cinematic summer
A few fine films for fall
With the shift in the seasons, we also get a bit of a shift in our cinematic offerings. After a summer that featured blockbuster after blockbuster, a season of nine-figure box office dynamos led by all-time high-grossing superhero movies such as 'The Avengers' and 'The Dark Knight Rises,' things are calming down a bit this fall.
That's not to imply that there aren't some potentially great films coming out over the coming months.
The fall of 2012 has an awful lot to offer. You've got the triumphant return of a great director with Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master.' You've got a once-in-a-generation talent like Daniel Day-Lewis taking on the title role in the biopic 'Lincoln.' There's melodrama and intrigue, goofy animation and gritty science fiction. It looks like there could be some really good movies coming our way.
And also 'Twilight.'

Everyone who is eligible according to the guidelines set by the Department for Transport and Department for Work and Pensions is entitled to free off-peak local bus travel anywhere in England using a National Bus Pass. Anyone who has reached the pensionable age of women is eligible, whether you are male or female. It's easy to apply and it's free!
Check and apply on the Oxfordshire County Council website
There are passes for older persons, disabled persons and a disabled persons companion.
All passes give you free travel on all our buses except before 09.00 Monday to Friday.
The rules in West Berkshire and Reading Borough are different: bus passes can only be used when boarding at stops in those areas after 09.30 on Monday to Friday.
You can get an older person's pass once you reach the female state pension age (even if you're male!)
This keeps changing. Below are the dates for the rest of 2017.
Born on or before 5th July 1953 - you can apply from 6th March 2017
Born between 6th July and 5th August 1953 - you can apply from 6th July 2017
Born between 6th August and 5th September 1953 - you can apply from 6th November 2017
Born between 6th September and 5th October 1953 - you can apply from 3rd March 2018
Born between 6th October and 5th November 1953 - you can apply from 6th July 2018
Born between 6th November and 5th December 1953 - you can apply from 6th November 2018
Born between 6th December and 5th January 1954 - you can apply from 6th March 2019
What are the benefits?
For you: free travel on most bus services throughout the country, including Going Forward Buses, but not before 09.30 Mondays to Fridays (any time on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays). Some local authorities are more generous, for example in Oxfordshire (including all stops on the 134 route) passes can be used after 09.00 on Mondays to Fridays.
For us: the Council reimburses us for every concessionary pass journey made - at the same rate no matter how long or short the trip is! So please don't be afraid to use your passes and remember that every trip, even the shortest (one stop!), helps to keep the service going.

Hockey player Fran Crossley was on target for England ladies in their dazzling home nations success.
The Pennthorpe PE teacher was selected for the tournament in Edinburgh as a forward for the masters over-45 team.
England successfully beat Wales 4-2 with Crossley, from Barns Green, scoring two of the four goals.
They then secured a 4-2 victory against Ireland, and finally, beat Scotland 4-0 where Crossley scored the first goal for England.
Three victories saw England retain the Home Nations Trophy for the tenth year in a row.
Mother-of-two Crossley plays hockey for Brighton Hockey Club. Her employers Pennthorpe School have keenly supported her in allowing time off to play for the England Masters team.
The ladies over-50s, over-55s and over-60s teams, also won their respective age group home nations tournaments.
Crossley is also a current European champion as well as home nations one. She won a gold medal last year with England in the European Masters Championships.

Chapter 1
"This is the most time my father has spent alone with me in the past twenty years. He's just as quiet, too," Bradford whispered to Angela seated next to him in the small viewing room of the funeral home. Images of what Bradford had endured as a young boy, seeking scraps of attention from his father, ran parallel to her own futile attempts of securing affection from Harold, her father. She squeezed his hand in support while looking at the others.
Kiva, his oldest sister by eighteen years, sat alone on the front row and stared forward. Angela had met her for the first time when they arrived an hour ago and the woman's dark green eyes looked through her as if she weren't standing two feet away. Her greeting lacked warmth and sincerity and she seemed like the shell of someone who had once lived a vibrant life. It seemed the death hit her hardest, certainly harder than Bradford's other sister Morgan, who was fifteen years his senior. She sat two rows ahead of them with her son Neville, a row behind Kiva, and for the most part seemed unaffected.
She and Bradford sat in the fourth row, the last row of people mourning the life of the deceased. Even Harold would have a better turn out than this and Angela avoided looking at the white casket in the front of the hall. Turning, her gaze clashed with Morgan's, something akin to pain or compassion filling her eyes before she turned away, avoiding Angela's probing look.
"I wonder if he would stay, in this room, I mean. Breathing the same air that I am if he had a choice," Bradford continued, his voice rose above a whisper and was clearly heard in the pristine silence of the small room.
Angela's hand tightened on his thigh. The smooth, crisp feel of his Giorgio Armani trousers filled her palm as she shushed him. Uncomfortable over his heartbreaking comments, she wished she were anywhere but here. Rather than continue staring at her hand on his leg, she looked over her shoulder and met the mocking gaze of Bradford's nephew.
"Seriously Angel, he hated me. Never spent any time with me if he could help itand Mother wasn't much better." Bradford slid his arm across the back of the bench seat and met her gaze. The cold stare sent in their direction and the clear disdain on the face of his eldest sister buffeted her. She didn't know how to help him other than listen to his recounting of time spent with the man laid before them.
"I keep telling you we are a perfect match we both had crappy parents. You had your grandparents to care for you and I had Nanny Griffin. Well, until I turned fifteen and she died." The distant light in his eyes made her wonder if he saw the older woman nearby. All of his childhood stories included his nanny, and Angela had always thought she was his mother until he'd corrected her at Christmas.
"Then off to boarding school and forgotten… by everyone." Since he didn't bother lowering his voice, everyone in the room heard his unofficial, unprompted, and certainly unrequested tribute of his father. The cool room seemed colder, and it had nothing to do with the temperature. If Kiva stiffened further she'd break and rather than respond, she stood and walked to the front where the body lay.
Angela watched the tall, thin woman stare into the face of her father and brush her fingertips across the satin lining of the casket and the elegant movement seemed loving, and adoring. A woman who didn't contact her only brother regarding his father's illness, death or funeral, and yet exemplified such caring qualities mystified Angela. How could anyone do that to their sibling?
When she'd left her sister Melissa and Sebastian at the condo in Miami on the way to the airport, Bradford had received a text of his father's upcoming cremation. Considering he hadn't been informed of the man's recent demise, the announcement had been a shock. They'd changed plans and headed toward San Antonio, arriving late that morning and had just made it to the funeral home after the viewing started. This entire funeral escaped the bands of anything she had ever experienced.
"Bradford, are you done, can they finish here?" Morgan asked, looking over her shoulder at them.
He looked at his Cartier watch and then offered a tight smile in response. "We've traveled a great distance to make this … event. I'm not done saying goodbye."
Her dark brown eyes softened, she pulled her hair behind her ear and nodded. "You haven't gone up to see him, how can you say goodbye? Go ahead and close this door."
He straightened his tailored pants and leaned into Angela while shaking his head. "Soon. I'm preparing myself. His body's being cremated right?"
She nodded and left the room.
Angela placed her hand over his as he released a breath. His sisters hadn't discussed anything with him, had blindsided him with the death, and if he hadn't changed their plans at the airport, he would have missed this final viewing. Silent, she hurt over this slight. Even now, it seemed he wasn't a part of anything, more a distant relative granted crumbs from the floor near the table. Perhaps the age differences were to blame and they still thought of him as their kid brother, but Bradford hadn't been a little boy in a long time.
"I understand you're into computers." Angela looked over her shoulder at the nephew. His scraggly beard, ill-fitting pants and wrinkled shirt seemed out of place with the other two well-dressed women in the room.
"Yes. I know a little about them," Bradford said, removing his arm from around her to shake his hand. "You must be Morgan's son, Neville."
The man's head bobbed before settling. "Yeah, heard you had been something of a wonder-kid on computers. Made half-million on a software program before you graduated high school. Heard the old man," he tilted his head toward the casket, "made you repay him for the money he spent on that fancy boarding school they sent you to."
Noticing the slight clenching of Bradford's jaw, Angela rubbed his thigh instead of punching his nephew in the face. Sabrina and Melissa would be proud of her restraint.
"So they knew about that, huh? Didn't think anyone knew where I'd been sent since no one contacted me the entire time I was there. Weird, huh? To have a brother and never check on him? Make sure he's okay? Right?" Bradford's hard tone sent a shaft of pain through her. Despite the lack of affection from her parents, she always had her sisters. She stiffened as Kiva walked toward them.
"They're taking the body now to prepare it for cremation. If you want to spend any time with him, go now. I'm not holding this up any longer." Glassy-eyed, she walked out the room, leaving her, Neville, and Bradford in the room.
Angela pushed against his arm. "Go," she whispered, understanding he needed to do this, put the matter to rest. None of his childhood stories had mentioned his father, mother, or sisters for that matter. He needed to close the door and move forward.
Neville left the room, leaving them alone.
"Go, say your good-byes," Angela said softly. Her heart squeezed at the tortured look in his eyes.
He shook his head. "I never… he never… I always thought there'd be time to show him, to prove I was good." He closed his eyes and exhaled. When he opened them and met her gaze, her heart fell to her stomach at the pain.
"It's just that I wanted… I wanted to prove I was good enough… someone he could be proud of, you know?" he said in a ragged whisper, looking away. She wiped the tear from his cheek with her thumb and laid her forehead against his. This had to be killing him inside.
Swallowing hard, she forced out the words. "Baby, he knew. Whether he ever said it or not, he knew. Come on, it's time to say goodbye."
He wiped his face and nodded. "Come with me."
Angela leaned back and offered what she prayed was an encouraging smile. "Of course, I'm here for you. Let's do this." She stood and waited for him. Together they walked to the front of the room and looked at Michael White for the last time. Pale skin stretched over a bony canvas, with spiky eyelashes and thin lips were the visible remains of the man who'd taken her man through hell. Some people weren't fit to be parents, she knew better than most.
"They didn't want any more children. He thought they were done after Morgan. They had plans to travel, see the world and have fun. They'd done their duty and raised two children," Bradford said in a low voice while staring at the body.
Unable to think of anything to say, she tightened her hold around his waist and leaned close.
"I was… unexpected, a weight around their necks, a problem to be solved. He didn't want a son."
"Bradford, I'm sure he did."
"No. He told me to my face, more than once. The first time I was six. The next day Nanny showed up. The next time my father made sure I knew he wanted nothing to do with me was in the email he sent after Nanny died. That note also included instructions to catch a flight and papers enrolling me in an all boy's boarding school in Tennessee."
His fingertips touched the satin on the casket. "Yeah, he was quite the fatherly figure, probably told them not to tell me he died, wouldn't be surprised. Like I said, if he could walk away, chances are he wouldn't breathe the same air with me."

A calendar full of fancy social events can put a dent in anyone's bank account. As a result, a number of companies have sprung up to rent everything from dresses to diamond earrings.

New and Improved
Before I post the idea, I just had to get this out of the way. HOLY CRAP! And with Galactus, against 3 people, he can get this bad boy out on turn 8 at the latest, as long as there is nothing else that allows Galactus to gain resource points (which there very well may be). Galactus is starting to look more amazing than I originally had thought (and I love me my cosmic Marvel characters).
Ahem, and anyway, I thought I would try and let you all in on the combo I am trying to harness, and unfortunately, failing. New and Improved reads: "Ongoing: KO a non-Army character you control -> Characters you recruit this turn with the same name as that character enter play with two +1/+1 counters." The first part of "non-Army" makes sense, as you wouldn't want to have a deck with a character you could recruit multiples of to get lots o' counters. However, Aspiring Pawn reads: "Whenever Aspiring Pawn causes breakthrough while attacking a player directly, put a +1/+1 counter on Aspiring Pawn, and it loses the version Army and gains the version Knight." Now, if you cause direct breakthrough with the Pawn, he becomes a Knight and is no longer an Army character. In case you haven't found where I am going with this, KO multiple Aspiring Pawns with the version Knight and you can have lots o' swarming, humongous Pawns. Now, I can't quite get enough Pawns in my hand for this to work, and I can't seem to deal direct breakthrough to get Knights easily enough. If you have ideas, please post comments.

sounds like you need some out of combat stuns and some card drawing...my first thoughts on card drawing are Barbara Gordon<>Oracle, Hacker Elite; Birthing Chamber; Ego Gem+New Baxter Building+Black Cat+ESU or something along those lines.

Well, Birthing Chamber is a good idea, but I'm not sure about a lot of the others, because while they may work, I can't have too many other characters. Barbara Gordon is good, and I think I'll include her. Um, Ego Gem is something I don't know I can fit, because it will best work with visible characters (only work), and I don't really have many. The Black Cat/ESU combo is good, but I don't really have much room for the 2-drop. Well, I'll see if I can make those work, but I'm not sure about some. Thanks for the help!

Not sure what you want to do to your body after you die? Tired of the same old options of burial or cremation? Want someone to make good use of your body after you die? Well, you can donate your body to a body farm (and at no cost to you if you live within 200 miles of Knoxville, TN). Actually they call themselves a Forensic Anthropology Data Bank (quite a mouthful) and they are a part of the University of Tennessee.
Step one - look over your medical history. Do you have a history of HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis, or an antibiotic resistant disease (MRSA)? They may not accept your body donation if you have any of these diseases or conditions.
Special note - they may accept your body if you have one of these diseases if you have it cremated first (but not pulverized). You will be responsible for the costs of cremation.
Step two - look at the map. Do you live within 200 miles of Knoxville, TN? If you do there will be no cost to transport your body to the body farm. If you live more than 200 miles from Knoxville, you can still donate your body, but you will be responsible for the costs of transportation of your body.
Step three - download the forms from the resource section. Read them very carefully. Fill them out and sign them. You do NOT need a notary or lawyer to fill out any of these forms. Send the forms and a picture of yourself to the address on the forms.
There is also a biological questionnaire to be filled out. It includes areas to fill out your medical history, locations where you have lived, and an area to fill out your daily habits, occupations, exercise habits, and any other life-long activities.
All donations of a body to a facility would be appreciated. Many of our skeletal studies are based on 19th century data and we have changed a great deal since then. Bodies are used to study the natural decay of bodies in various conditions. They are laid out to weather and hence farmed out.
Special note - no remains will ever be returned to your family. This facility studies skeletal remains and still studies its very first donation to this body farm in 1981.

- Biography
|Lucian wields relic weapons imbued with ancient power and stands a stalwart guardian against the undead. His cold conviction never wavers, even in the face of the maddening horrors he destroys beneath his hail of purifying fire. Lucian walks alone on a grim mission: to purge the spirits of those ensnared in undeath, his eternal beloved among them.
Like the twin relic weapons they wielded, Lucian and his wife Senna were carved from the same stone. Together they battled evil in Runeterra for years, bringing light to darkness and purging those taken by corruption. They were beacons of righteousness: Senna's dedication to their cause never faltered, while Lucian's kindness and warmth touched the hearts of the many lives they saved. Two parts of one whole, they were devoted and inseparable.
Though Lucian and Senna witnessed terror that would break most warriors, nothing they had seen compared to the horrors wrought by the Shadow Isles. When the spectral denizens of that accursed place began to manifest across Runeterra, Lucian and Senna hunted them down wherever they appeared. It was grim work, but the fearless pair prevailed until one tragic encounter with the soul-collector Thresh. Lucian and Senna had faced such nightmarish undead before, but never one so deviously clever and cruel. As the terrible battle unfolded, Thresh sprung an unexpected ploy. To Lucian's horror, the creature tricked Senna and ensnared her soul, trapping her in a spectral prison. Nothing could bring her back. Senna was lost, and for the first time, Lucian faced his mission alone.
Though the Warden had taken half of Lucian's heart, he had also created the Shadow Isles' most dangerous foe. Lucian became a man of dark determination, one who would stop at nothing to purge the undead from the face of Runeterra. In honor of Senna's memory, he took up her fallen weapon and vowed to see their mission through to the end. Now wielding both relic weapons, Lucian fights to slay the undead and cleanse the souls of the Shadow Isles. He knows that Senna's soul is lost, but never loses hope that one day he will bring her peace.
| "Be grateful. By slaying you now, I spare you an eternity of torment."
- Lucian
Patch History
Attack damage growth decreased. R damage amplification to minions decreased.
Lucian is pretty much the premiere bot laner right now: Some of his core items got cheaper and most of his competition got weaker. Plus with Essence Reaver, his late game is stronger, making him one of the best marksmen both in lane and in late game. We're choosing to prioritize keeping that lane strength.
Base stats
R - The Culling
W base damage increased. R damage ratio increased.
The buffs to Press the Attack certainly helped Lucian, but he could still use some more damage.
W - Ardent Blaze
R - The Culling
|total attack damage
Passive damage increased at early ranks. Passive crit damage increased.
Lucian could use some love, but we want to make sure the majority of it is felt in more traditional bot lane carry oriented builds.
Passive - Lightslinger
|of attack damage
Q - Piercing Light
E cooldown increased at early ranks.
Lucian's risen to prominence as the go-to midlane bully. We're increasing the windows of vulnerability he incurs by burning Relentless Pursuit offensively: if Lucian wants to dash into danger, he'll have to shoot his way back out of it.
E - Relentless Pursuit
Q mana cost up at later ranks.
Lucian's been able to spec into a decent amount of survivability (Ninja Tabi, Black Cleaver, and Blade of the Ruined King) without significant damage trade-offs. If the Purifier still wants to give up on Essence Reaver, he needs to be more frugal with his spell usage.
Q - Piercing Light
Q and W are smoother to cast.
Despite his buffs at the start of the year, Lucian's been struggling pretty hard. With the prevalence of massive poke damage in bot, Lucian simply can't get close enough to start the skirmishes he's meant for. As it so happens, we've recently shipped changes to rein in the dominant marksmen and their builds. That being the case, we're treading carefully: moving Lucian too far up when others are moving down could overshoot the problem. For the time being, we're smoothing out the flow of his gameplay, fixing up a few spots where Lucian felt a bit slow to respond.
Q - Piercing Light
W - Ardent Blaze
Q and W range down. Q ratio down.
Way back in 2014, we set out to make Lucian the skirmishing-est marksman in League. The Purifier excels at short-range fights through combat mobility and spellweaving, chunking enemies with Lightslinger procs as he darts across the battlefield. As an in-your-face marksman, Lucian needs to put himself in harm's way more than his compatriots to succeed, but even that level of risk doesn't justify his current dominance. Lucian's close-quarters identity falls apart when he can rely on mid-range poke for the brunt of his interaction with enemies. We're trimming a bit of safety off Lucian's kit to ensure his success is tied to engaging with - and outmaneuvering - his opponents.
Passive - Lightslinger
Q - Piercing Light
W - Ardent Blaze
R range down.
New season, same problems. Lucian's strengths are numerous - burst damage, sustained damage, mobility, amazing haircut - but he's never had a very well defined weakness. This leads to situations where a popular Lucian shuts out similar champions entirely (like old Graves) and hurts marksman diversity overall, simple because it's too hard to compete with his reliability.
With this change, we're cementing Lucian's weakness explicitly as 'poor damage output from range'. This puts a greater importance on his mobility tools like Ardent Blaze and Relentless Pursuit for contributing to fights and introduces greater risk to the character overall. Lucian still brings a lot to the table, but teams should be able to tailor their strategies to account for (or exploit) his uses, rather than just seeing him as the every-marksman of League.
R - The Culling
Attack damage down. R's scaling shifted to be less early, more late.
Up to a patch or two ago, Lucian was a mid-tier marksman whose identity heavily overlapped with bursty, dash-y dudes like Graves. In this new preseason, Lucian's no longer got that problem but now that he's got a shiny new Essence Reaver to play with, he's back in the challenge space of being a high-skill marksman with a lot of broad strengths. The extra attack damage and rank 1 Culling damage proved to be a little too potent at shutting down the early game, so we're pulling back just a tad (but keeping The Culling relevant throughout the game). Ultimately, Lucian's a cool champion to have around, just as long as he's not the only champion you pick.
R - The Culling
Culling no longer scales with Attack Speed, but fires more bullets generally.
Another light (ahem) tweak, Lucian's changes remove his ult's somewhat awkward dependency on Attack Speed scaling, allowing him to embrace his identity as a cooldown-oriented caster marksman (hello Essence Reaver!).
R - The Culling
Passive scales better lategame and does full damage to minions. W costs less, gives more Movement Speed, but has a shorter duration. Lucian's teammates can give him Movement Speed via W's mark.
Sleek and stylish, Lucian's another ex-pro pick fallen on hard times. Lightslinger's 'spell-weaving' paradigm gives him a unique flair among marksmen, but hinges upon each spell being innately worth casting. Ever since lopping off Ardent Blaze's AD ratio, the ability's felt lackluster, so we're pumping up its utility alongside some tuning to Lucian's passive to make his 'attack-cast-attack' loop feel even more satisfying.
Passive - Lightslinger
W - Ardent Blaze
Lucian's got a shorter window to double tap people with Lightslinger, and deals less damage with it at lower levels.
- "Lucian is a character that's carefully defined by his low combat range (500) and being opportunistic to succeed within it. These changes are more along the lines of pushing that while creating more windows of opportunity against Lucian. We do say windows of opportunity a lot."
- Passive - Lightslinger
6 seconds⇒ 3 seconds
0.5 attack damage at all levels⇒ 0.3/0.4/0.5 attack damage at levels 1/7/13
'W no longer has an attack damage ratio, but gives more Movement Speed bonuses at later ranks. R's cooldown has been significantly raised (particularly at later levels).
- "You know, for a 'short-range' champion, Lucian's got access to a lot of long-range damage once he gets past the early game. Our big focus here is to push Lucian into closer combat range more often by reducing the power on some of his safer spells. At this point you might ask why Q has a 1100 range (well, 500 cast but 1100 total), and that would be a good question. Also, when you consider it, The Culling's 50 second cooldown at rank 3 is pretty crazy. "
- W - Ardent Balze
0.3⇒ 0.0
40/40/40/40/40⇒ 40/45/50/55/60
Occasionally relenting pursuit. This will have been the third time we've made a joke regarding Relentless Pursuit and no apologies will be made at this point in time.
- "When we originally re-balanced Lucian back in patch 4.12, we were actually concerned with him being too weak in the laning phase (hah), and so gave him compensatory buffs to keep up. Since then, however, Lucian's gone on to be a premiere lane bully with access to a pretty solid late game as well. These changes should make Lucian think a little more about that aggressiveness in lane."
Lucian can no longer remove slows with E, and E's cooldown is up across the board
- "When we made our big Lucian changes in 4.12, we had three concerns in the back of our heads: the first was that Lucian would struggle too much in the early game to hit his mid to late game power (false!), the second was that players would have difficulty adapting to the new Lucian changes (false!), and the third was that he would be a little too strong in the mid to late game so maybe our concerns didn't matter (true!).
- Specifically on these changes: giving Relentless Pursuit a reset interaction with Lightslinger (and making it cost 0 Mana) makes Lucian almost completely immune to slows, which leads to a lot of 'hard counter' situations where he's untouchable for a number of enemy champions. Ultimately we still want Lucian to have tons of mobility after he's picked up some cooldown reduction, but to make it a healthy mechanic he can't also shrug off any attempt to fight back."
- E - Relentless Pursuit
- REMOVED OCCASIONALLY RELENTING Relentless Pursuit no longer removes slows
14/13/12/11/10 seconds⇒ 18/17/16/15/14 seconds
'Lucian's attack ranges have gone down, but E's cooldown will now get reduced with every hit from Lucian's passive. E also has no Mana cost, so Lucian will be dashing quite a bit in the mid to late game.
"Our design philosophy when approaching a strong champion is to highlight their strengths while also emphasizing their weaknesses (I told you we'd be repeating this a lot). This mostly relates to the concept of meaningful choices, where we want that champ to maintain their strategic value while also having some tradeoff that enemies can play against. Specifically for Lucian, his high generic power (a strong early and late game, high burst, high mobility, etc) meant he could just be blindly picked without much consideration for the enemy team. For a while, this is what made Lucian such a strong competitive pick - he could adapt to any team and could still perform well.
Ultimately our changes are focused on highlighting some of Lucian's strengths as a spell-slinging, mobile marksman, while also emphasizing new weaknesses - like having a lower range. At higher levels with some items (cooldown reduction!!!), Lucian can fluidly chain Es together as long as he has a target to hit with his passive. This also means Lucian will be one of the most mobile mid-range ADCs in teamfights (there are some concerns that he'll be... too mobile thanks to E removing all slows, but we'll keep a close eye here). Having a lower range, however, also means Lucian will need to take more risks in order to get E's cooldown back up, and he might have some tougher matchups during the laning phase (where before he could win almost any lane). This gives us a lot more space to emphasize Lucian's unique traits, and we'll be watching how he performs after these changes."
- General
550⇒ 500
330⇒ 335
470⇒ 500
49⇒ 52
- Passive - Lightslinger
- THE DOUBLE TAP RULE: Fixed a bug where sometimes Lightslinger would fail to kill a champion because it incorrectly predicted that the first shot would be enough and would use the second shot to last hit a minion. Lightslinger will now always follow the double tap rule by shooting a near-dead champion twice to secure the kill.

- NEW NOW WITH MORE RELENTLESSNESS: Cooldown is now reduced by 1 second per Lightslinger (passive) hit, doubles against enemy champions (2 second reduction per hit, 4 seconds total for a full passive proc)
60/45/30/15/0 Mana⇒ 0 Mana at all ranks
- NEW SMOOTH SHOOTER: Lucian now resets his basic attack timer upon dashing
18/16/14/12/10 seconds⇒ 14/13/12/11/10 seconds
- REMOVED CULLED: Relentless Pursuit no longer resets on kill during The Culling
"We have no change for Lucian this patch but wanted to highlight that he's currently high on our list. Specifically in competitive play, Lucian is crowding out almost all other marksman choices (aside from maybe Kog'Maw) due to his high general strengths and lack of meaningful weaknesses (does this sound familiar?). We're currently very aware of Lucian's dominating performance but want to make sure we get the right changes in to give him said weaknesses!"
- General
Yes⇒ Still yes
"At higher levels of play, Lucian tends to be a master-of-all-trades marksman with his strong damage in lane, high mobility, decent scaling, and general safety in teamfights. With the new AD itemization changes, however, we don't want to implement bigger modifications with so much in the air. At this point in time we do think Lucian will need some broader changes to give him meaningful weaknesses, but a reduction on W (which was designed for utility as opposed to any form of burst damage) is something we're confident is in line with our potential changes in the future. "
Summary: We've lowered the base damage of Piercing Light and shortened its cast range.
"We're culling some of Lucian's lane dominance – especially when he gets early AD purchases (given Piercing Light's high AD ratios). Rather than relentlessly pursuing a reduction on Lucian's damage, we also shaved some range off Piercing Light, as Lucian was able to poke from just outside of auto-attack range before going in for a strong trade with his passive. I'm sure there's another ability pun to be had in here, but I got nothing."
- Q - Piercing Light
- Base damage reduced to 80/110/140/170/200 (from 80/120/160/200/240)
- Reduced cast range to match Lucian's basic attack range (now 550 from 570)
Summary: Piercing Light's hitbox width has been reduced slightly, but it now leads its target when cast on an enemy champion. When Lucian kills someone with the first shot of Lightslinger, Lucian will always try to find another target, prioritizing the closest enemy unit to the slain target.
Context: Lucian's Piercing Light can sometimes be sidestepped by its primary target without them even trying to do so. To help the ability land, we've added a leading mechanic to Lucian's Piercing Light. This means that if the target just keeps moving - oblivious to the ability being cast - Lucian is now practically guaranteed to hit. However, the ability will be slightly easier to juke for players who've got their eye out for incoming abilities.
Finally, a bug in Lucian's passive meant that Lightslinger's second shot could sometimes hit a different target! We decided to embrace the bug and properly support it as a feature. Now, if Lucian's target dies before the second Lightslinger round lands, Lucian will always try to find another target, prioritizing the closest enemy unit to the slain target. There are certain filters in place to prevent disrupting Lucian's last hitting or accidentally hitting a champion under the tower.
- Updated Lucian's recommended items
- Base Mana regeneration increased to 7 (from 6)
- Mana regeneration gained per level increased to 0.7 (from 0.65)
- When Lightslinger's target dies before the second shot hits, the second shot will now always attempt to find another target
Piercing Light
- Laser hit box width reduced to 100 units (from 120)
- Piercing Light now leads its target by 80 units when cast on an enemy champion
- 2013
- October 18th, Jinx and Lucian in LCS from LoL Esports

Lately I realized that I didn't add yellow color in my wardrobe for a long time. Not that I hate yellow, but whenever I go for shopping, I didn't find any yellow stuff that really click on my mind that "Oh I really…. want this". But few weeks ago, while I was browsing through the internet, I came across this bright floral print cut-out shoulder long sleeve shirt from an online shopping site and finally picked one for myself.
Today many people think that e-commerce made our lives much easier, and I do agree, however I'm still not 100% convinced when it comes to buying clothes online. Call me OLD-FASHIONED but this is the first time I ever bought clothe online & I'm dangerously loving it. I bought this shirt for three main reasons: FIRSTLY, what more colorful shirts do you need other than this bright floral for summer? SECOND: I need to educate myself about e-commerce, for we can find many great stuffs online with much better prices than in physical retail stores. LASTLY, it's super cheap! we don't want to risk buying expensive clothes for the first time, do we???
Talking about the quality, it is as what I expected 🙂 Wondering which shopping site I bought this shirt? find it out from my Instagram: ashonrs
Have a great Weekend to you all xoxo :*
Today I'm wearing: bright floral print shirt from….(find it out from my Instagram https://instagram.com/ashonrs/ Vintage Black & White Stud neckpiece, Black Skinny Jeans from: http://uk.monsoon.co.uk/ Black Handbag: http://www.zara.com/uk/ Glitter Black stone Bracelet from: http://uk.accessorize.com/ shoes from: http://www.anakiparis.com/

It has been observed that President George Weah normally attends state functions and other programs late as it was in the case of the just ended ceremony to honor & farewell the police & military personnel who have served with the United Nations Mission in Liberia.
President George Weah was on Monday, February 5, 2018 invited to attend the ceremony at UNMIL's Pan Africa Plaza Headquarters in Monrovia but he appeared two hours late for the program.
As per the order of the ceremony, dignitaries and other guests including the President were to arrive and be seated at 8:35 am up to 9:00 am. Almost all invited guests arrived on time with the exception of President Weah.
The ceremony was to last for about two hours beginning from 8:35 A.M and ending at 10:30a.m but due to the lateness of the President the program ended by 12 PM, two hours than scheduled.
When the ceremony started at 9:10 a.m, the master of ceremony called on Madam Frances Greaves, chairperson National Civil Society Council of Liberia to make a remark to be followed by Representatives of ECOWAS, AU and diplomatic mission.
Thereafter, at 9:30 a.m UNMIL Force Commander Major general Sahilu Zaway Uba mounted the podium and addressed the audience. After his speech, the MC announced that President Weah's office has phoned in that he was on his way to the program.
She then requested the Armed Forces of Liberia band to entertain the public with an interlude of music to buy time until the President can arrive. The band sang numerous songs including the UN &Liberia Anthems before singing a popular circular Nigerian music called "Falling in Love".
About 45 minutes later when the President could not arrive the MC was told to call the next speaker H. E. El Hadj Abdoulaye Dore Dean of Diplomatic Mission. As he mounted the podium to give his address, the siren of President Weah's convoy was heard and as the result he was told to wait for the arrival and seating of the President.
President Weah enters the UNMIL Headquarters after 10 am smartly dressed in blue coat suit. As he disembarked his Presidential vehicle he was greeted by UNMIL SRSG Farid Zarif.
The both walked from the vehicle up to where the audience was. As they walked through, some members of the audience mainly dignitaries were murmuring apparently in total disappointment of the President late arrival.
It is not the first time President Weah has come to ceremony late as it was in the case during his first state of the nation address where he came 15 minutes late to the traditional 4:00 P.M event.-Writes P. Nas Mulbah

We understand that Jack's Place was created by parents who had first-hand experience with the difficulty of accessing resources and information when caring for a child with Autism.
Dearborn, MI (PRWEB) May 13, 2016
Faced with the challenges of raising funds as a nonprofit, Jack's Place for Autism Foundation is receiving outside support from the community through the efforts of Schembri Insurance Group, to better be able to continue working towards its mission of helping families cope with the challenges of caring for an autistic child. Those who also believe Autism can take a toll on families, who deserve the support of an organization like Jack's Place, can now view and contribute to the campaign through https://www.crowdrise.com/the-best-place-for-autism-is-jakes-place/fundraiser/joelschembri.
"We understand that Jack's Place was created by parents who had first-hand experience with the difficulty of accessing resources and information when caring for a child with Autism. They have created an experience that's supportive and that offers parents and caretakers correct information on treatment, education, and other services available to them in the area," says Joel Schembri, principal of Schembri Insurance Group.
Schembri Insurance Group is employing its social media channels and email communications in the campaign, and dedicating a full page of their monthly magazine to the cause. The electronic version of Our Hometown magazine can be viewed here: http://www.schembriinsurancegroup.com/Our-Hometown-Magazine_39. In addition to promoting the campaign to gather donations, the agency will also contribute $10 to the cause for each person recommended to them for an insurance quote – no purchase necessary.
Operating as agents of change in the communities where their agencies operate – Dearborn, Northville and Bloomfield - Schembri Insurance Group will continue to support worthy causes, and announces that any members of the community can request to be considered for future campaigns through this link: http://www.schembriinsurancegroup.com/Add-Community-Cause_51. More information on past and current campaigns supported by the agency can be found at http://www.schembriinsurancegroup.com/community-cause.
