At RetailMeNot.com, you find coupon codes and deals for 70,000 online stores. You may have heard of it. Many of the names you see at RetailMeNot provide the company's revenue. The owners of those brands pay to list their deals and codes on the site. Some of the deals are not paid for, however. That's the case with Mary Kay Cosmetics.
In March, Mary Kay filed a lawsuit against RetailMeNot, claiming that their use of its intellectual property and display of its coupon codes is not permissible by law. Retailmenot fired back on free speech grounds, stating the following.
"RetailMeNot, Inc. continues to believe that it operates in compliance with law and in the best interests of consumers and its retail partners by aggregating information to help shoppers save money using its websites and mobile apps."
The digital offers company also believes that, if Mary Kay succeeds in winning the case, there could be a negative impact on consumers.
"RetailMeNot believes it is protecting the interests of consumers in a case that could have a negative impact on online content and service providers. Mary Kay's attempt to use trademark law in a manner that is inconsistent with fundamental principles of free speech should alarm consumers because it would deprive them of access to information about digital offers for their favorite retailers and brands."
The basis of RetailMeNot's position is that Mary Kay's coupon codes are publicly available and, because of that, anybody can share them on the web or by other means. From Mary Kay's point of view, RetailMeNot "misleads consumers" to believe that the two companies have a relationship and sell products at a reduced price. The company believes that RetailMeNot's practices are detrimental to its direct sales structure, where sales reps meet directly with potential customers in their homes or in public places.
According to MarketWatch, RetailMeNot attempted to resolve the problem before resorting to litigation but was unable to stop Mary Kay's legal advances.


text: G'day folks. I've had a full but enjoyable day. The forecast heatwave was not so bad, a cool breeze kept it reasonable. But I was indoors all day at a writers conference. Some good stuff plus some great networking. Got home to a quick rest, then the TV show was on tonight that included the interview that difficult child 3 & I did a few weeks ago. I posted separately, including the link to the show's website. Following that broadcast, difficult child 3's speech pathologist has arranged to visit tomorrow afternoon for a therapy session; difficult child 3's speech dysfluency is getting worse and she can now see it. I'll be calling easy child 2/difficult child 2 in the morning, I might need to go see her so we can call the government person about her wage claim business. We have some problems there and she's not well at the moment. But the school year is drawing to a close, difficult child 3 has some final tidying up of schoolwork to do but the bulk of the work has been completed. So if he has some interruptions to his school day, it's far less of a problem. As far as school is concerned most of what I have to do now is get next year organised for him. Life is busy but at the moment fairly positive and productive. Enjoy your Sunday, folks. Marg

As you may have heard, there was a contest launched by Greenpeace UK in June encouraging its followers to 're-brand' the BP logo. This contest has struck an interest with designers and Greenpeace followers everywhere. While most of the contest submissions are just a way to express feelings towards BP at this current time, it still makes you question… "How does the public feel about your brand?"
Let's start with the basics.
What is a brand?
According to Wikipedia, a brand is the identity of a specific product, service or business. A brand can take many forms including a name, sign, symbol, color or slogan. At Tribe, we think of a brand as a reputation. It is what your customers and the public think, say and believe about your company. When branding your company, consider the reputation you want perceived by your audience.
What is Direct Branding?
Direct branding is a form of advertising that reaches its audience through use of marketing pieces such as company name, logo, brochure, website, events, sponsorships and community involvement. This is a way for your company to control the way your reputation is delivered to the public.
Do all of these marketing pieces convey the same message to your company's audience?
If not, you may be sending mixed messages. One way to make sure your message stays consistent is to partner with a company that specializes in "branding." Branding companies make sure your passion for your business is being conveyed through the brand accurately.
What is Indirect Branding?
Indirect branding is where your company has little or no control over your message and how it is delivered, shared or received. Indirect branding is how your company communicates through daily business activities such as customer service, operations and responsiveness to a predicament. Everything your company does alters your company's brand. In other words, your brand is constantly changing. It is vital for your business to have a consistent and clear message. Continually remind your employees of your company goals and mission. And when your company goals and mission change, it is time to rebrand.
"Your company brand, culture and pipeline are the only competitive advantages that we will have in the long run. Everything else can and will eventually be copied," Tony Hsieh, CEO, Zappos.com, Inc., "Delivering Happiness. A Path To Profits, Passion, And Purpose."
Take the Brand Quiz to see if your company is on the right branding path.
1. Does your company have a logo?
2. Is your logo consistent with all of your communications?
3. Does your company have a brand promise or mission statement?
4. Do your employees understand your company brand promise or mission statement?
5. Do vendors and customers know your brand?
6. Do you know who your top customers are?
7. Do you know if your brand attracts your best customers?
8. Have you rebranded your company in the last five years?
If you answered "No" or "Don't Know" to more than five questions, you may be at risk of not communicating clearly to your target audience.

Washing is a technique that involves highlighting shadows by allowing a thin mixture of color that is darker than our base color to flow into the cracks, creases, and crevices of the figure.
If brushed over the entire area, the color will flow off of the higher surfaces and stay in the cracks.
The surface tension of the dilluted paint can cause diluted paint washes to dry unevenly, leaving rings of paint or splotchiness.
It's like when you wash and wax your car. Water beads into droplets. As it dries, if there is any dirt in the water, it leaves small rings when it dries. Diluted paint acts the same way.
To break up the surface tension, simply add a drop or two of dish soap into your brush washing container and use this to water down your paint used for washes.
If using paint, you will mix some of the base color with a bit of a darker color, making a shadow version of the original.
Some use straight black for this, but a darker version of your base color will give a more natural look. Other than coal and a few other exceptions, black does not itself exist in nature. Instead, you will find that most things that you see in the natural world are dark blues, browns, or what have you. These colors may approach pure black, but seldom completely lack any color.
When you get a dark color that you are happy with, add some water to the paint by dipping your brush into your rinse container and mixing it with the paint. The consistency that you are after is that of milk. It should flow well and be fairly watery and transparent.
Drag your brush loaded with the watery paint ACROSS the grain of whatever you are washing. In other words, you do not want to drag the brush down, say the length of a fold in a cloak, but rather drag it across the folds.
This deposits the wash only in the cracks and depressions. If you got uneven amounts of wash, you can put a bit more wash in these areas before it dries, but you'll have more control over you washes if you use a few layers, rather than applying a heavy wash with a fully loaded brush. If you have too much wash on your brush, it's hard to control, and will tend to end up in places you don't want it.
Painter's Secret: Wet a brush and "paint" water over the areas you want to wash. Then apply the wash in smaller, less diluted quanties. The wash will flow over the wet areas easily. With some practice, you can use this technique to wash just the areas you want. If you get water where you don't want it, you're not going to ruin the nearby painted areas. Just let it dry. Then re-paint the area with water. When only the portion of the miniature you want to wash is damp, apply wash.
It is important to consider how the figure is positioned when applying a wash. Gravity pulls the wash to the lowest point, so you would not want to, for example, stand a figure upright and then wash his cloak unless you want much darker wash near the bottom where it will flow to. Let the figure set in the desired position until the wash is dry enough not to flow. You can then go on to another section of the figure.
You cannot wash an entire figure at once due to the way that the wash will flow. Instead do it in sections, even if all that you are washing is the same color. You'll find that you have far more control over how the wash is applied.
Do this for each area, noting the highlights that will really make the details of the piece stand out. It is amazing how good of detail that you can get out of washing in a minimum of time.
Use the same basic techniques for ink washes that you do with paint washes. Where you'll see differences is in the way inks tend to be more intense than washes of watery acrylics. You'll tend to get better contrast with inks, especially with unpigmented inks.
You will only have to water down your ink about 1:1 with water to get the flow that you want, depending on the type of ink used. You can mix inks just like you mix paint.
Inks can prove tricky sometimes, but with some practice you may find that you're much more pleased than with using paints for your washes. Myself, I tend to wash with either paint or a mixture of paint with a little ink mixed in.
I use inks to bring out very sharp detail, especially in washes.
Unpigmented inks (like the india inks on the right) give starker contrast, whereas pigmented inks usually result in more subtle shadows.
India inks work great for this, and the product link to the right is a great deal on a dozen colors of ink!
You may hear the term "glaze" used. The only difference between a wash and a glaze is in the way you apply them. Either may be applied in various consistencies.
With a wash, you intend to let it accumulate in the recesses and low areas of a miniature. You apply a wash evenly in a thin application, preventing it from accumulating in one area more than another.
Use a wash when you want to uniformly change color across an area of your miniature. Maybe you are painting a purple cloak that you want to darken overall. Apply a thin wash evenly across the area with a darker color.
One caution, however. Realize that when you apply a semi-opaque wash to a miniature, you will reduce the contrast across the area where you apply it. You can use this to your advantage to even out blending. If you have applied drybrushing or other highlighting techniques, you may find that you need to re-apply the highlighting after applying a wash.
A possible exception to washes reducing contrast is when you use a non-pigmented ink. These inks are transparent, where unpigmented inks are semi-opaque. Non-pigmented inks color the area to which you apply them with minimal reduction in contrast.
Non-pigmented inks tend to flow more easily than pigmented inks, as they are much thinner in consistency. They flow well into cracks and crevices, increasing contrast in those areas. However, they are not a good choice for applying to larger areas, as they can be very difficult to control due to how easily they flow, In the past, I have used Pelican brand unpigmented ink with good results.
Pigmented inks provide smoother transitions than non-pigmented inks. I find this useful when blending. These are the inks most often used in painting miniatures. Most inks sold by miniature paint companies are pigmented inks. When they do sell non-pigmented inks, they may label them a "glaze" rather than an ink.
A special case is the face. I recommend using a mixture of red and brown to wash with for the face. Brown alone will make it dirty looking. Incidentally, use more red than brown, about 2:1 to 3:1. It doesn't take much dark color to really make things lose their intensity quickly.
If you find that you get a 'dirty' look to the piece that you are working on when you wash it, particularly with lighter colors, you might try the following. Wet your brush with straight water and brush this onto the area that you want to wash.
This will tend to saturate the dried acrylic paint that you have already put down with water. When you apply the ink now, it does not saturate the paint with ink as much, which stains the original paint and makes it darker and 'dirty' looking. The ink will tend to run off without changing the underlying paint much. You will get more striking contrast and will not have to drybrush over the muddied area so much afterwards. Some staining occurs anyway, which is why when washing, you start with a slightly lighter color than you want to end up with.
You'll get better at washing with time and practice, so don't get discouraged if you don't get the effect that you want the first time.

TUESDAY, Feb. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Whether it's lush palms or piney groves, the health of trees in your neighborhood might influence your physical health, a new study suggests.
Research from the U.S. Forest Service found that the loss of 100 million trees on the East Coast and in the Midwest was associated with an increase in deaths from heart and lower respiratory disease.
Although the study adds to existing evidence that exposure to the natural environment can improve health, the researchers pointed out that their findings do not prove a causal link, so the reason for the association between trees and human health remains unclear.
The researchers examined demographic, human death and forest health data collected from 1990 and 2007 on almost 1,300 counties spread across 15 states. In doing so, they saw a discrepancy in human health among those living in areas infested by a particular beetle, known as the emerald ash borer, which kills ash trees.
They found that residents in the areas affected by this beetle had 15,000 more deaths overall from heart disease and 6,000 more deaths from lower respiratory disease than people living in other areas.
The study's authors noted that there was an association between tree loss and human death rates, even after they took into account people's income, race and level of education.
"There's a natural tendency to see our findings and conclude that, surely, the higher mortality rates are because of some confounding variable, like income or education, and not the loss of trees," Geoffrey Donovan, a research forester at the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station, said in a USDA Forest Service news release. "But we saw the same pattern repeated over and over in counties with very different demographic makeups."
The emerald ash borer was first discovered in 2002 near Detroit. The beetle attacks all 22 species of North American ash and kills the majority of trees that it infests.
The study was published in the February issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

The Writers Guild of America announced the winners of the 2016 Writers Guild Awards this weekend, and Square Enix's Rise of the Tomb Raider took home the prize for "Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing."
Lara Croft's latest adventure was written by Rhianna Pratchett, with Narrative Design by John Stafford and Cameron Suey, and additional writing by Philip Gelatt. Pratchett is one of the gaming industry's premiere storytellers, but this is her first win at the Writers Guild Awards. She previously wrote 2013's Tomb Raider, as well as Heavenly Sword, Mirror's Edge, and Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians.
The writing team beat out some strong competition this year including Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity, and CD Projekt's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Developed by Crystal Dynamics, Rise of the Tomb Raider was released last year for the Xbox One and Xbox 360, and is now also available for the PC. It'll launch for the PS4 sometime this Fall.

One of the most exciting ranges I have had the chance to preview for the upcoming season has to be the Florence and Fred A/W 2012 collection that previewed at the fabulous Number 1 Marylebone earlier this month.
A really well thought out collection, with absolutely unbelievable price points, the F&F ranges incorporated everything from Neo-Gothic Lace to heritage style tweeds, with a bit of glitter and sequins thrown in for the festive season.
Here are some of the trends in a little more detail.
Full of Military touches, gold buttons, high collars and military style prints, this collection is a nod to the armed forces, but with a decidedly evening feel. The scarf print theme is moving into the new season in the form of black and red, most effectively in the form of pencil skirts with a super sexy edge.
This is a collection of the traditional and the quirky. From animal printed jumpers to wax jackets that could be mistaken for Belstaff or Barbour, this collection is just great fun, with squirrel printed blouses that could be teamed with mustard coloured skinny jeans to great effect.
This collection has been described as a cross between London cool and Parisian chic. Tweeds play a huge role, from pencil skirts to neat fitted tweed dresses that would take you from the office to the bar with ease. Faux fur coats and little cardigans and jackets that owe a debt to Chanel are also important to this look.
With interest in all things vampire and Twilight showing no signs of disappearing, this darkly glamorous collection contains lashings of lace, faux leather and touches of Edwardian decadence. Favourite pieces included the emerald and lace knit jumper, and the Oriental style dress.


text: I bought the Lesco front mount spreader about 4 weeks ago... not knowing how I was going to mount it to my Lazer... I decided on the Spread 4 Mower mounting kit. It's a bolt on kit but the holes didn't line up in the middle of the frame so a friend welded it on for me tonite. He also welded about a 1 foot piece of 1 1/4" square tubing on to the spreader. I can't wait to try it out! What a time (and leg) saver it's going to be. I have a question or two... How far does this broadcast? Obviously, I'm going to have to open this up more than the Lesco walk behind unit... What kind of settings are you using for Lesco products... Ferts and seed? Thanks

Quantifying the Human Likeness of a Humanoid Robot
In research of human-robot interactions, human likeness (HL) of robots is frequently used as an individual, vague parameter to describe how a robot is perceived by a human. However, such a simplification of HL is often not sufficient given the complexity and multidimensionality of human-robot interaction. Therefore, HL must be seen as a variable influenced by a network of parameter fields. The first goal of this paper is to introduce such a network which systematically characterizes all relevant aspects of HL. The network is subdivided into ten parameter fields, five describing static aspects of appearance and five describing dynamic aspects of behavior. The second goal of this paper is to propose a methodology to quantify the impact of single or multiple parameters out of these fields on perceived HL. Prior to quantification, the minimal perceivable difference, i.e. the threshold of perception, is determined for the parameters of interest in a first experiment. Thereafter, these parameters are modified in whole-number multiple of the threshold of perception to investigate their influence on perceived HL in a second experiment. This methodology was illustrated on the parameters speed and sequencing (onset of joint movements) of the parameter field movement as well as on the parameter sound. Results revealed that the perceived HL is more sensitive to changes in sequencing than to changes in speed. The sound of the motors during the movement also reduced perceived HL. The presented methodology should guide further, systematic explorations of the proposed network of HL parameters in order to determine and optimize acceptance of humanoid robots.

text: Well, the summer has ostensibly concluded, but that doesn't mean there are no more interesting looking movies on the horizon. Here's a list of flicks I think could be cool. September: Resident Evil: Apocolypse (Zombies! YEAH ZOMBIES!!) Sky Captain - (Will either be brilliant or moronic, no in-between) Shaun of the Dead - (it's a British indie flick, so we may end up waiting until the DVD) October: Grudge - (produced by SAM RAIMI and ROB TAPERT of EVIL DEAD fame) Team America: World Police - (South Park's Parker and Stone do marienettes - what's not to like?) Saw - (Not sure if that's the right title but it looks frickin' creepy) November: The Incredibles - (No way it won't be better than Finding Nemo, it's got SAM JACKSON) The Ringer - (Johnny Knoxville in the Special Olympics... it could be genuis) December: The Aviator - (Scorsese's always worth keepin' an eye on) Blade Trinity - (Apparently, the vampires still don't know who they're ***kin' with) Ocean's Twelve - (The first one was very entertaining) The Life Aquatic - (From the people who brought you Rushmore and The Royal Tennebaums) And there's also Elektra in January. And then there's the DVDs that are coming out like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Aqua Teen vol. III, Ren and Stimpy seasons 1&2, not to mention STAR WARS and THX-1138. Now, these are just flick I'm interested. If anyone else has stuff they're looking forward to that's not on the list, please feel free to post it. Laters.

Still Evidence of a Healthy Market – 25 Listings Went into Escrow and 20 Sold
Prices range for sold homes moving up – spread evenly throughout all ranges up to $7m – only 2 sold homes were below $1m
Highlights -
- 20 closed sales in Feb. vs. 15 sales in January and 39 in Dec. (Almost 2007 levels)
- 25 went into escrow vs. 22 in Jan bringing the total in escrow to 60 which is strong
- However, 26 of the 60 in escrow are short sales, which take a long time to get approved, if ever
- Distressed properties still a small part of homes sold – 1 sold was a foreclosure and 2 were short sales while there are 26 short sales in escrow – short sales are still tough to close
- Inventory is going up – 330 listings in Feb. compared to 299 in January
- 30% of active listings have had price decreases
- Active distressed properties remain constant – 3 are foreclosures, 21 are short sales
Breakdown of homes sold in the different price ranges
- Only 2 of the sold homes were below $1m probably due to a lack of good inventory in this range
- 5 houses were sold in the $1m to $1.5m range at $780 a sqft and avg 20% off original list price
- 4 sold between $1.5m and $2m at $500 sqft and an avg of 30% off of original list price
- 2 sold between $2m and $3m at $750 a sqft
- 4 sold over $3m – 2 in Emerald, 1 in 3 Arch
- 4 were condos were sold

There are some commander decks that use a very loose definition of the word "commander." There have been countless times that I've heard plenty of people say, "Oh, I forgot I actually have a commander I can play," in the middle of an EDH game. Of course, this is most likely because they were able to maintain a good board position without their commander, and that's completely fine. A deck based completely around the general can become fragile and fold easily to removal. A deck that works without your general means it has synergy with itself too, instead of just with the general.
That said, sometimes, we do want to make a deck with a general that is absolutely crucial to the overall plan. Sometimes, it's for fun — maybe we're shooting for a theme, or just want to exploit a particular mechanic. Other times, it's because the commander's abilities are particularly strong. Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind is without a doubt a very strong commander, and a deck built around simply drawing cards won't normally win you games by itself … unless the great Firemind is dealing damage to people left and right. Of course, there are other win conditions in the deck, but it's hard to imagine games where you wouldn't want him out on the field.
There's also one more reason you might want to focus heavily on the commander: because you're on a budget. Since we can rely on having access to our commander, we can build our deck in such a way that the individual cards by themselves may not be very good, but get much better in conjunction with the commander. This strategy works well, because cards that aren't very good by themselves tend to be cheap. And that leads us to the budget commander deck for today:
Varolz, the Scar-Striped
Varolz has a very fun ability that gives everything in your graveyard scavenge. It's easy to see the direction we want to go with this deck: stuff our graveyard full of low-cost high-power creatures, then scavenge them onto Varolz to win with commander damage or onto a hard-to-remove creature to get massive board presence. It's very reliant on protecting our general, but if we can, this should help us get a very strong position even without the most expensive cards.
As before, I'm going to give myself a budget of $30 to build a 100-card EDH deck. I'll go through all of my choices here, then get you, the readers, to give me feedback as to what you think about it.
The Mana
Let's start with our mana base. Access to green means that we should have no issues in this section. We've included our usual suspects of mana elves and ramping sorceries. A Life from the Loam would be amazing in this deck, but it's unfortunately a bit expensive for our budget. Dawntreader Elk is particularly nice for this deck, because it ramps you, then gives you a scavengable body.
Mana Sources
Filling the Graveyard
This is a typical Golgari deck, so it wants plenty of cards in the graveyard. Any card with dredge is good for the deck, as well as cards like Grisly Salvage and Commune with the Gods. Drown in Filth is actually not a bad card either — it can act as good removal with all the land you'll be throwing away.Deadbridge Chant deserves a special mention, because it does a great job of filling the graveyard. You usually want to keep your creatures in there, but you should get plenty of goodies every upkeep along with all the scavenge targets you could want.
Filling the Graveyard
Scavenging Bodies
On to the meat of the deck: the creatures we want to scavenge. The best card for the job is easily Death's Shadow. For the measly cost of one black mana, we get a 13 power creature that we don't even need a sacrifice or discard outlet for! With Varolz out, this card reads "BB, Exile Death's Shadow: Put thirteen +1/+1 counters on target creature." Force of Savagery and Phyrexian Soulgorger are both great as well, giving us high-powered creatures with drawbacks that let us send them to the graveyard quickly.
There isn't really much else to it. We're grabbing cards with a high power-to-cmc ratio, preferably ones with drawbacks that force us to sacrifice them or otherwise send them to the graveyard. This not only gives us efficient scavenges, but also allows us to turn the drawback into an advantage. There's one card we would've liked for this deck but can't due to budget constraints, and that's Phyrexian Dreadnought. A 12/12 for 1 would be amazing in this deck, but unfortunately, it comes with quite a hefty price tag.
Now that we can get tons of +1/+1 counters, we just need to find a way to make it count. We could just scavenge onto Varolz and go for commander damage, but if your opponents have a bunch of chump blockers, it's not going to matter. That's why we're including a good amount of evasion in the deck. Since we're in green, a good amount of it will come through trample. Rancor is great as always, and Brawn should have no problems finding its way into the graveyard. We also have a few sources of making creatures unblockable, such as Rogue's passage and Champion of Lambholt. Finally, we're including Rhox as a way to assign combat damage regardless of blockers.
Supporting Cards
What would a Varolz EDH deck be without Corpsejack Menace? This card is just amazing with scavenge, allowing you to make your creatures that much bigger. Taunting Elf, Golgari Decoy and Wild Beastmaster are all alternate scavenging targets. The first two can either become huge, then force blocks to clear an opponent's board, or they can just act as decoys to let your 21/21 commander finish people off. The latter is just a natural choice to scavenge onto because it essentially pumps everyone. You might think this deck doesn't synergize with Lhurgoyf or Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, but the truth of the matter is that you're usually going to be filling your graveyard with creatures faster than you can scavenge them, especially if we can get our dredge engine going. So, we might as well make use of this.
We've added in plenty of removal, using the resources we have in green and black to our advantage. Fleshbag Marauder is nice because it acts as removal, then gives you a body to use later on. Life'S Finale and Plague Boiler are the board wipes in this deck, though Plague Boiler is more a threat and a method to control the pace of the game rather than a true board wipe. Jarad's Orders is a tutor that is doubly useful because it can get a card in your graveyard, while Diabolic Tutor can help you search up any card, like Deadbridge Chant, Whispersilk Cloak, or even a Treasured Find to get back something in your graveyard. Spider Spawning is useful for regenerating Varolz and can be used from the graveyard. It, along with Spidersilk Armor, should also help against those pesky fliers. Bow of Nylea has some good utility, and if someone tries to exile your graveyard, you can even save some cards. Along those lines, we've put in a Witchbane Orb. While it won't save you from a Relic of Progenitus, cards like Nihil Spellbomb and Bojuka Bog won't be able to touch you anymore.
Let's take a look at our finished deck.
Varolz, the Scar-Striped
Final optimized tcgplayer price: $27.63
Playing the Deck
Varolz is going to be the target. This deck doesn't have too many threats when Varolz isn't out, so you need to do your best to protect him. That also means you need to figure out the timing for when to bring him out. You'll very rarely want him out on turn 3 — the graveyard needs to have creatures for him to be useful, and you'll be hard-pressed to keep him alive that early. He does have the ability to regenerate as long as you have other creatures out, so that makes it a bit easier, but you still need to watch out for spells like Evacuation, Cyclonic Rift, and Wrath of God.
If you can manage to scavenge with Varolz, though, you will be a force to be reckoned with. If you can manage to get trample or unblockable somehow, it could very well mean the death of one of your opponents within a couple of turns. That's not to say you need to win with commander damage though — remember, there are cards like Rhox and Wild Beastmaster in there to scavenge onto too. As the games go longer, you'll find that the Lhurgoyf, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Golgari Grave-Troll get that much better, and chances are you'll be able to grab the Grave-Troll at least through his dredge (or Jarad by sacrificing a Forest and a Swamp).
So that's it for this deck. Let me know what you think about it, and what you would do with the Golgari maze-runner, in the comments below, and feel free to shoot me any requests for future budget EDH decks.
As someone who's just getting back into Magic (thanks to Commander/EDH) after playing Unlimited through Antiquities, I want to thank you for these great Commander on a budget articles – they're the most helpful, well-reasoned, and well-explained articles I've found on the web. I've got a lot to learn, and this site, and your articles in particular, have been invaluable.
A couple of my favourite +1/+1 counter tech creatures you might want to consider: Forgotten Ancient and Fungal Behemoth. They're also not too expensive, unlike Lord of Extinction, which would also fit nicely in here.
Have you considered going Infect? 13 +1/+1 counters on a Plague Stinger is gg for most playgroups.
No love for Endless Wurm? 9/9 for 5 mana that sac's itself? I'm surprised it never gets mentions as a reasonable scavenger.

I think ask your mom to tell people 6-9 mo or larger. #2, is if you do get some things that are the wrong size, when you open it, see if there is a gift receipt (some people are smart and do that). If not, then I would just ask whoever gave it to you where they got it because you'll need to exchange it for a bigger size. Often you can just take it back to any store that carries that line, if they also carry that specific style. So long as you are doing a straight across exchange, and the tags are still on it, it shouldn't be a problem. I know this because I had to do that with a couple of Kody's things. Usually most friends will be eager to please, and might even say at the party "I hope it fits him ok." That's your cue to say, "Well actually, he
grew out of this size. Could I exchange it for a bigger one? It's sooo cute and I'd love for him to be able to wear it!" Something like that.

There was a time when Barack Hussein Obama looked like a wonderful guy ready to bring happiness and prosperity to everybody. It was in 2008 when he needed the support of every imaginable ethnic or political group, because the outcome of the upcoming presidential election wasn't clear at all.
Jews were one of those groups. Trying to get their donations and political support, Obama was throwing at them generous promises for unconditional support of Israel, guarantees for the indivisibility of Jerusalem, lasting peace, fair to all sides, etc. etc.
Of course, even then there were lonely voices, which doubted his rhetoric and pointed out his lack of principles. After all, he spent years at the church of
the racist Jeremiah Wright, he got and endorsement from the anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan and he counted a former Marxist terrorist among his friends.
But the desire to have the first politically correct black President blurred the vision of the US voters. And now they are paying for that. It's not only the horribly mismanaged economy, forced to pay for unsustainable programs, it's also the disastrous foreign policy.
Case in point is Obama's Mideast speech this week. It was strange, to say the least – all those promises to Israel and the Jews made in 2008 are gone. He paints a picture of the Middle East, its problems and their solutions, which is in a striking dissonance with reality.
Obviously, he is urged to react to the so-called "Arab Spring" in a way that would please the "revolutionary masses". After praising what happened over there as the best thing since the sliced bread, he mentions what measures we need to see applied in those countries:
"We support a set of universal rights. Those rights include free speech; the freedom of peaceful assembly; freedom of religion; equality for men and women under the rule of law; and the right to choose your own leaders – whether you live in Baghdad or Damascus; Sanaa or Tehran."
Is this some kind of dark humour? Free speech and freedom of religion are totally incompatible with the Muslim tradition. The people of Egypt overwhelmingly support the death penalty for apostasy and total sharia control. The only country where those values were applied to certain extend was Turkey and only because Ataturk practically banished Islam from public life. However, the Islamist government of Erdogan is working very hard to "correct" the situation.
Then Obama makes sure that the previous paragraph shouldn't be taken too seriously. America need not interfere too much, in fact it must stay in the shadows while allowing the Islamists to do whatever they want:
"As we do, we must proceed with a sense of humility. It is not America that put people into the streets of Tunis and Cairo – it was the people themselves who launched these movements, and must determine their outcome. Not every country will follow our particular form of representative democracy, and there will be times when our short term interests do not align perfectly with our long term vision of the region."
In other words, we would take whatever monstrous form of government those people may come up with and we will take it with humility. That's the ultimate expression of cultural relativism – even if the Muslims build a sharia republic, we will go along with that. Obama's clique would support any form of Islamic barbarism.
Then Obama tries to inject another dose of good values that are desirable in the Arab countries:
"Such tolerance is particularly important when it comes to religion. In Tahrir Square, we heard Egyptians from all walks of life chant, "Muslims, Christians, we are one." America will work to see that this spirit prevails – that all faiths are respected, and that bridges are built among them. In a region that was the birthplace of three world religions, intolerance can lead only to suffering and stagnation. And for this season of change to succeed, Coptic Christians must have the right to worship freely in Cairo, just as Shia must never have their mosques destroyed in Bahrain."
Ironically, the truth is the opposite of his statement – under the Arab secular dictators, the religious rights of the minorities were practically guaranteed, because they didn't allow the Muslim savagery to flourish. A Muslim "democracy" removes all restrictions and we can see its results in the systematic attacks against the Christians in Iraq. Now in Egypt dozens of Coptic Christians are slaughtered every day, which wasn't the case under Mubarak. Why didn't Obama find even one word of compassion for those victims of Muslim brutality? Never mind, I know why.
Once the value issues have been "resolved", Obama's speechwriters turn to the essence of the "revolution":
"After all, politics alone has not put protesters into the streets. The tipping point for so many people is the more constant concern of putting food on the table and providing for a family. Too many in the region wake up with few expectations other than making it through the day, and perhaps the hope that their luck will change. Throughout the region, many young people have a solid education, but closed economies leave them unable to find a job. Entrepreneurs are brimming with ideas, but corruption leaves them unable to profit from them."
Wow, what a deep sociological analysis! So the corruption is at the bottom of all – once we destroy it, there will be hordes of brimming Arab entrepreneurs
confident enough to take control. Is Obama still smoking the stuff he used to at Harvard? The Muslim countries have been in a deep stagnation for the last 800 years. There has been absolutely no progress, except in the countries where they finance their lives by selling oil (and even there progress means buying
engineers and housekeepers from other countries to serve the lazy rich indigenous population).
For as long as Islam controls those areas, there will be no scientific development and no amount of well-wishing entrepreneurs is going to change the situation. Don't the people who advise Obama have an elementary level of knowledge about how the Muslim societies work?
They obviously don't, because here is how the President plans to help the "positive" changes in those countries:
"… we do not want a democratic Egypt to be saddled by the debts of its past. So we will relieve a democratic Egypt of up to $1 billion in debt, and work with our Egyptian partners to invest these resources to foster growth and entrepreneurship. We will help Egypt regain access to markets by guaranteeing $1 billion in borrowing that is needed to finance infrastructure and job creation. And we will help newly democratic governments recover assets that were stolen.
… we are working with Congress to create Enterprise Funds to invest in Tunisia and Egypt. These will be modeled on funds that supported the transitions in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall. OPIC will soon launch a $2 billion facility to support private investment
across the region. And we will work with allies to refocus the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development so that it provides the same support for democratic transitions and economic modernization in the Middle East and North Africa as it has in Europe."
So after getting the background wrong, Obama and his speechwriters manage to make things even worse. They are willing to give away billions of dollars (which the broke USA must borrow) to "help" the economy in countries, where no industry has ever been developed, where the semi-literate imam is the supreme arbiter on social issues and where the corrupt authorities are absolutely sure to steal all the money (exactly the same way they steal it in Iraq and Afghanistan).
And what's the deal with getting Eastern Europe involved? Those countries were occupied by the Russians and forced to follow the bizarre socialist experiment. But before that they had Western economic structure and they have never been hampered by a primitive death cult like Islam. And even they had hard times re-adjusting to market economy. What is the chance of the Muslim countries doing something like that – you guessed it, it's zero.
Obama is supposed to be a head of state of the best developed country in the world. How could he be that stupid???
Sorry for taking so many pages before getting to Israel, which was the main issue here, but I wanted to show you that the background of Obama's Israel policy has been built on the sand foundation of a totally distorted picture of the Middle East.
Here is what he suggests that the Palestinians do:
"For the Palestinians, efforts to delegitimize Israel will end in failure. Symbolic actions to isolate Israel at the United Nations in September won't create an independent state. Palestinian leaders will not achieve peace or prosperity if Hamas insists on a path of terror and rejection. And Palestinians will never realize their independence by denying the right of Israel to exist."
On the surface, all is fine and dandy – a sound recommendation, which requires only words from the Palestinians. In the best traditions of the Muslim taqiya (lying to achieve your final goals) they have done that many times before. If you remember, the little bald conman Arafat played Bill Clinton for years with exactly the same false promises while stealing billions of dollars of international aid. Why does Obama think that this time it would be any different?
And here is what Israel should do to achieve Obama's utopia:
"The fact is, a growing number of Palestinians live west of the Jordan River. Technology will make it harder for Israel to defend itself. A region undergoing profound change will lead to populism in which millions of people – not just a few leaders – must believe peace is possible. The international community is tired of an endless process that never produces an outcome. The dream of a Jewish and
democratic state cannot be fulfilled with permanent occupation.
… So while the core issues of the conflict must be negotiated, the basis of those negotiations is clear: a viable Palestine, and a secure Israel. The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states. The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state."
What does the statement that technology would make the defence of Israel harder if they keep Judea and Samaria mean? Is Obama's government going to supply high-grade weapons to the Palestinians? Or are they going to let Iran arm them? And what about the international community being tired of waiting? Whose fault is that? Wasn't Arafat offered all those territories on a plate by Barak and rejected the offer (stealing UN money is much easier than governing a state).
The bizarre idea that Israel should agree to the 1967 borders before starting negotiations doesn't help Obama's credibility either. We had been through this
before – a few years ago Israel withdrew its troops and residents from Gaza, leaving behind all of their industrial and agricultural facilities intact to be
used by the Arabs. Less than an hour after the last leaving tank crossed the border, the Palestinians stole all computers and other equipment from those
facilities and burned down whatever they couldn't take away (again, UN welfare is easier to get).
Shortly thereafter they elected the Hamas murderers as their government, who proceeded to send over 10,000 missiles to Israel causing murder and damage. What makes Obama think that this time things would be any different? If his plan works, the Palestinians would be more than happy, because they'd be able to shoot their missiles right from the windows of the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
On top of that, Obama demands a "contiguous" Palestinian state meaning that Israel should be cut in two by some kind of a passage, which for sure would be staffed with Hamas terrorists.
And just wait to hear what Obama's plans about Israel's security are:
"As for security, every state has the right to self-defense, and Israel must be able to defend itself – by itself – against any threat. Provisions must also be robust enough to prevent a resurgence of terrorism; to stop the infiltration of weapons; and to provide effective border security. The full and phased withdrawal of Israeli military forces should be coordinated with the assumption of Palestinian security responsibility in a sovereign, non-militarized state. The duration of this transition period must be agreed, and the effectiveness of security arrangements must be demonstrated."
What is that supposed to mean? What provisions against resurgence of terrorism can you take, when the destruction of Israel still is the basic goal of both Fatah and Hamas? Obama doesn't provide any explanation about how he is going to stop the infiltration of weapons. If it weren't for the Israeli sea control and the periodic destruction of tunnels, Gaza would have been flooded with all kinds of weapons. Does he understand what will happen if Israel gives up control of all territories?
So that's how Obama sees the situation in a nutshell:
"These principles provide a foundation for negotiations. Palestinians should know the territorial outlines of their state; Israelis should know that their basic security concerns will be met. I know that these steps alone will not resolve this conflict. Two wrenching and emotional issues remain: the future of Jerusalem, and the fate of Palestinian refugees. But moving forward now on the basis of territory and security provides a foundation to resolve those two issues in a way that is just and fair, and that respects the rights and aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians."
Israel has to agree to give up the territories in advance in order to start the negotiations. On the other hand, the Palestinians just need to promise that they would provide the needed security – that's easy, they'll lie again, because talk is cheap. Once Obama makes sure that he can get away with that, he will strike again, dividing Jerusalem and forcing Israel to absorb nearly 7 million uneducated and violent Palestinian "refugees". As soon as he accomplishes that, the only REAL democracy in the Middle East would seize to exist.
The politically correct president would be able to achieve what Adolf Hitler couldn't.
Shame on you, Barack Hussein Obama!!!

Data visualization has rapidly become a critical part of business analytics and business communications. Without visualization, the numbers and statistics of analytics are difficult to interpret and incomprehensible to many who need to turn data into knowledge. The advent of big data, with increasing volume and velocity of data, emphasizes visualization as a technique to compress large volumes of data into digestible presentations and observe streaming data in motion.
Elegant and well-designed data visuals often appear to be easy because skilled visual developers are able to hide the complexities and hard work behind the scenes. Business intelligence and business analytics professionals need to communicate as effectively in visual forms as they do with their verbal and written communications skills. Get started by learning the fundamentals of data visualization.

It is a place in which parents and non-parents alike can come to and find solace and support for a variety of mental health struggles. It is a place which works hard to bring "a personal voice to a clinical problem," and it is a website which places understanding and empathy above all else.

Don't Roll Back Improvements to Capital Gains Tax: Wisconsin Still Has One of the Nation's Most Generous Exclusions
Prior to 2009, Wisconsin had the most generous capital gains tax exclusion in the nation. In 2009, the policy was changed and as a result, Wisconsin is now "only" among the nine states with the most generous exclusions. Some policymakers would like to repeal the recent change, a move that would overwhelmingly favor the wealthiest taxpayers. Read full WCCF publication.

"There are many exciting moments in high school, and getting an acceptance letter from your dream college is certainly one of them! The University of Oklahoma decided to create a truly unforgettable experience for one future Sooner," the school captioned the video.
As for Lexie, she says she was speechless when she saw the amazing surprise and we probably would have been, too.

Talented artist Federico Uribe makes use of various colored pencil fragments in his art series 'Pencilism.' He cleverly uses the broken pencil pieces to recreate familiar animals and landscapes.
Uribe's structures are often 3D recreations of familiar animals, landscapes and even human faces. He begins his artistic process by collecting fragmented shards of different colored pencils. Depending on what animal or landscape Uribe is trying to recreate, he will look for pencils that share similar colors to create a realistic and recognizable structure. Depending on the sizes Uribe needs, he will cut and splice the pencils accordingly. Uribe will begin to stack the pencils together in various forms using zip ties. His 'Pencilism' series features a sculpture of a breath-taking zebra and beaver.

Besiktas have been linked with a move for Chelsea's Nigeria international midfielder John Obi Mikel.
The Turkish Super Lig broadcaster LigTv has reported that the Black Eagles are preparing a replacement for Atiba Hutchinson if the Canada international leaves over the summer.
Mikel is understood to be at the top of Besiktas' transfer targets and the Istanbul giants will table an offer for the 29-year-old if Atiba joins West Ham United.
The Nigeria international reportedly turned down a £110k-a-week offer from Galatasaray back in January following the appointment of Guus Hiddink. Mikel returned to form after struggling for game time under Jose Mourinho.
Besiktas have established close ties with Chelsea over the past few seasons and approached the Blues for consultation on restructuring the academy and scouting system last season.
The Black Eagles signed Demba Ba from the reigning champions last season and star winger Gökhan Tore was also a former Chelsea player.

At least 51 dead in Bangladesh factory fire
At least of 51 people have been killed and more than 100 hurt after a fire swept through a locked textile factory crowded with night-shift workers in southern Bangladesh, officials say.
Up to 500 people, mainly women, were believed to be working in the KTS Composite Textile factory in the southern city of Chittagong when the fire broke out Thursday night, local fire chief Rashedul Islam says.
He says firefighters had found the main entrance to the factory locked and had been forced to rescue trapped workers by breaking open windows and using ropes.
The fire, believed to have been started by a short circuit, whipped quickly through the four-storey building due to stacks of yarn lying on the floors and encroaching onto stairways, making it impossible for some workers to escape.
"We have just managed to put out the fire," a weary Islam told AFP at around 5:30am local time.
The building was still smouldering but rescue operations were over.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia was to visit the gutted factory later Friday, an official says.
Several platoons of army troops helped in the all-night rescue after fire fighters struggled to contain the blaze with their limited equipment.
Immediately after the fire, the elite Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) raided homes of the owners of the factory after primary findings showed the fire occurred due to faulty safety measures, Chittagong RAB chief Hasinur Rahman says.
"The owners went into hiding after the fire," he said.
Witnesses said the fire had been preceded by an explosion.
"The main gate was locked when we heard a loud noise followed by fire and an electricity cut," a worker who escaped the inferno told ATN Bangla television.
"Some neighbours cut open the window grilles to help us out of the factory," he said.
The toll could have been higher but people working in neighbouring factories brought in bamboo ladders and ropes to rescue those trapped in the upper floors, factory security guard Ful Mia told AFP.
He says some 1,000 people are employed at the factory but many were on their dinner break when the fire broke out.
"We have searched every room of the factory. We don't think there are any more dead bodies inside. Our rescue operation is over," Colonel Munshi Mizanur Rahman of the Bangladesh army said.
Salauddin Ahmed, a doctor at the emergency ward of Chittagong Medical College Hospital, says around 60 people are hospitalised,"mostly with burn injuries and some with broken ribs after they jumped from the upper floors".
He says at least 25 people are in a critical condition. Some 40 injured people had been treated on the scene earlier.
One witness says he saw people jumping from the third floor to escape the blaze.

It's amazing what a big come from behind victory can do for the spirits of a team, or a fanbase, or a blogger. I was freezing in the stands for this game. Cracking sarcastic remarks about the fates of our Tigers. I saw a glimmer of hope when the team plated 4 runs in the 6th inning to cut the lead to 1 run. I seethed in the top of the 7th as I began to compose my post game report in my head. Needless to say it had a very different working title. But then everything turned around as the Tigers batted around in the top of the 8th inning.
For so much of the game it seemed like just another miserable night of 2008 Tigers baseball. Jeremy Bonderman was pitching good, but his effort was repeatedly undermined by poor defense. A dropped foul ball led to the first two runs. A misplayed ball in center field led to two more. And as has happened so frequently to the starters, he was left in a little too long (the velocity crapped out around 90 pitches again – this stamina thing is worrisome), and he left a few too many runners on base, and they all scored courtesy of the bullpen.
I'm not going to kill Bobby Seay. He'd been pretty rock-steady and he just didn't have it tonight. But it looked to be another loss for a team that had grown accustomed to losing. Could a team coming off of back to back shutouts really claw back from 5 runs down?
Then a funny thing happened. Pudge Rodriguez, who had made a run costing error earlier and who also had hit a couple of balls square down the right field line with nothing to show for it, hit a 342 foot homer where the fence was 345 feet away. The Twins right fielder was kind enough to 'Canseco' a drive to the wall over said wall. Albeit with more grace than his Juiced-ness.
And then things got really crazy after Francis Beltran escaped with a scoreless top of the 8th inning. Detroit started pounding line drives. Sheffield banged one into the left corner for a double. Ordonez hit a missile to center field that missed clearing the fence by a matter of feet resulting in another double. A weak grounder to Adam Everett, one of the most sure handed fielders in the game, became a gift of an E6. Carlos Guillen's third hit of the night plated another run and brought the tying run to the plate – with nobody out.
But here's the thing. Pat Neshek, he of the freaky side arm moving all over the place delivery, was coming in. After an Edgar Renteria ground out, Pudge Rodriguez found the right-center gap for the Tigers first triple. A game tying hit. The comback was complete. But things weren't done. The much maligned Jacque Jones was squaring off against his old team. He hadn't found a way to get a ball out of the infield, yet somehow he needed to muscle one deep to put the team ahead. He fought off a couple tough pitches before lining a ball to left field that Delmon Young made a fine running catch on. But it was deep enough, and hit where Young's momentum wasn't carrying him straight home. The result was a close play but ultimately a Tigers lead.
Clete Thomas and Placido Polanco would tack on an insurance run on a night when everyone picked up a hit – except for Jones who still managed the go ahead RBI.
With that the team has some life. I don't know if it carries over, but for one night we saw the offense that we knew had to be in there somewhere. The All Star lineup finally turning RISP into R instead of GIDP. It wasn't a matter of worrying about working the pitcher as much as it was about pounding pitches. Many of those bullets came on first pitch swings which no one seems to complain about when they find a gap.
It wasn't a complete game by any means: three errors, more bad bullpening, bad managing, etc. But it was life, and energy, and smiles, and fun.
