I would argue that we do not have a good (read architecturally clean) way to abstract network io with filters. The NAL is a perfect compliment to the filter code. Here are my specific itches: 1. My SSL library API uses a different model than OpenSSL. Specifically, it uses uses secure_socket calls (e.g., secure_read(), secure_write(), etc.). I -could- integrate SSL into Apache 2.0 using filters, but I would have to replace core_inout_filter and core_output_filter with my own filters, possibly implement special bucket types (apr_bucket_secure_socket_t, etc.) With NAL, I can just hook the network io primitives with my own calls and use the filters already in Apache. I hope to use OpenSSL but that is just not a possibility now. My itch is real to me even if you don;t feel it :-) 2. I gave a pitch about IBM's Fast Response Cache Accelerator (aka AFPA) at ApacheCon a few years back. The AFPA implementation on Windows uses it's own socket API (afpa_read, afpa_accept, afpa_send, et. al.). Again, the NAL provides a clean way for my Apache module to hook the right NAL implementing my specific network io primitives with the minimum amount of shuffleing httpd code. Can I do both of these with filters? Sure, but the code architecturally ugly as sin. Allan Edwards solved both of these problems cleanly in early Apache 2.0 iterations using Dean Gaudet's IOLs. NAL is essentially a scaled back version of Dean's IOLs (NAL is focused just on network i/o, not filtering). And I know what Luke is talking about as well. Windows NT does implement filters (AFPA uses file system filters) in addition to a network io abstraction layer. NAL is a great compliment to filters. Bill

We picked up these people who seemed to have the same idea. Turns out their names are Emily and AJ.
The drive down the Central Valley offered some interesting views of the California drought. These are almond trees.
We are all excited to finally be in the forest!
The trail to our campsite at Twin Lakes was about 7 miles, predominantly uphill, through forest.
There were a few river crossings.
And a waterfall!
The first glimpses of Twin Lakes were welcome a welcome sight.
We stayed near the larger lake.
Brian surveyed our home for the weekend.
The light of the sunset against the mountain was stunning.
Emily brought her hammock. Some of us enjoyed it in the evening...
Emily enjoyed it in the early morning.
The second day, we hiked up to Silliman Pass, which afforded beautiful, if hazy, views of the Central Valley.
The elevation at the pass is 10,479.
We planned to walk to Ranger Lake, so first consulted the map.
However, the trail proved elusive for much of our hike down.
A glimpse of Ranger Lake was a hopeful sign.
We made it to Ranger Lake, earning our orienteering badges. Ranger Lake is in Kings Canyon - so we made visited two National Parks in one day on foot!
On the way up, we were happy to find the trail we had lost on the descent.
The trail offered some incredible views of the Sierras.
The second night was colder, so I was happy to have my new sleeping bag! The next morning, we set out fairly early to head back to Lodgepole trailhead.
The trip out was mostly downhill.
We paused for one last snack before leaving the woods.
We then traveled to see General Sherman! These Sequoia trees are indeed enormous.
A great trip! Looking forward to going back someday soon!

I feel like every time I read something like this it's always the same. There are a billion products that people use and a super long process. My process takes absolutely no time so I wanted to show you my night routine.
Step #1: Bathroom Candle
I have a very old, vintagy bathroom. The house that I live in right now is very old-style as there were never really many renovations made to it. It's not my favorite but I tend to enjoy it because it reminds me of houses in a small beach town or a cottage or something. I don't know why I decided to preface this step with that, but I did. For some reason I love lighting candles in the bathroom. Especially when it's a cute, adorable candle that matches with the aura of the room. Not only does it make the space thats known for smelling weird, smell good, but also just adds a relaxing vibe to your entire attitude.
Step #2: Clarisonic Time
I had to take two pics because I wanted to make sure you all could bask in the amazingness. First lets start with that print. Yes, I know, thank you. Adorable! Secondly, let's talk about the brush head. I've written about this before but it is absolutely fantastic. The Luxe brush head is great for many reasons: it is so incredibly soft, it makes you feel like you've been in the spa all day and it's excellent for sensitive skin. I definitely want to try out some other brush heads in the future so I can't wait to do that.
#3: Toothbrush Tasks
This is pretty standard with almost everyones night routine, I'm sure. This toothbrush is literally just the Up&Up brand from Target, nothing special. I absolutely love this one because the brussels are not too soft and just enough. I can't stand toothbrushes that are soft because it feels like they do nothing for your teeth. Have you heard otherwise when it comes to a choosing a toothbrush? I know I've heard that soft is actually good but I just cannot stand it for some reason.
#4: Shower Time
I did an I'm With The Brand post about Clean&Clear because I love it so much, this product is nothing different than that. I just love the morning burst face wash and ~*iRoNiCaLlY*~ I use it at night. I know Clean&Clear do a night formula, but this one just makes me happy, so I always use it! The eos Shave Gel stinks. I can't lie, I just don't like it. I don't favor the scent and I don't really think it does anything special for the shaving experience. Buy something else for the $4, not this.
You may be wondering why I have THREE razors in my shower. To be honest, I kind of do and kind of don't really know why. I have always used the Bic disposable razors because I like the result they gave me but being that my skin is severely sensitive and has been getting worse as the years go on, I decided to try something different. This brings me to the blue one in the middle, Schick Hydro Silk razor which is ABSOLUTELY brilliant. I will go further into detail about this razor soon. The one all the way on the left was another one that I tried that I didn't like as much as the one in the middle, but it was Schick as well. I don't like to shave, but the feeling of smooth legs overtakes the laziness of not wanting to shave, so I basically always do when I'm in the shower.
Shampoo and conditioner are obviously a necessity in everyone's shower stall. At the moment I'm all about the old school Herbal Eseences. I am so happy they brought these back within the past year or so because they make me so happy. To be honest, I think HE has gone a little overboard with some of the newer more modern scents that they've put out more recently. I like these plain ones and the effect that it has on my hair isn't so bad either.
My two most recently body washes are as basic as they get. Up&Up pomegranate and lemon verbena and Softsoap Coconut Scrub. I'm a little annoyed at the Softsoap because it really doesn't smell anything like coconut and that makes me sad.
#5: After Shower Power
On days and occasions where I feel like my hair has just seen better days, I apply this Well Oil Huile. I really enjoy this oil for a couple of reasons: the bottle is my favorite colors, the smell is delightful and it's rather light. It's always nice to have a rather light oil for your hair just to ensure that it's not overkill.
These are obviously for use if I had been wearing makeup that day. Some days I just don't feel like wearing makeup and that's totally okay. When I dare to bare mascara and all, I use these removal wipes because they are perfect for nighttime calming. The smell is lovely and it actually does get you so relaxed and ready for a chill night and a great sleep.
I've spoken about these products in depth on a couple of occasions. The Ultra Repair Cream is definitely for application everyday for me. I love the way it sinks into my skin with no worry that it will irritate. The Detox Eye Roller has given me liiiiiife. Honestly, it has taken away some of my dark circles and that makes me happier than you could ever imagine, as I have had dark circles for a long time.
Sometimes I use a toner from Clean&Clear, but not all of the time. I should get into a better practice of using that more often. For some reason, I reserve the toner for the fall time? Why is that a stigma?
For some reason, I like to apply deodorant before bed. I honestly think its the wierdest thing ever to apply it before you go to sleep, but I do it anyway. I mean, you know you're clean, why do you need it for overnight? I don't know, I do it anyway. I've been taking a like to this one from Secret lately.
Thanks for reading my nighttime routine! Let me know in the comments or in a tweet if yours is similar or different, I would love to know. This is so simple and most of it is what you should probably be doing everyday anyway! Forget all those complicated steps with serums and craziness, this is perfect for me. What products do you think I just must try? Thanks for reading! -Brit.

cannabis oil and clove oil are two super powerful healers! Here's why
December 13, 2016
Cannabis Oil and Clove Oil - Two of the Most Powerful Healers Yet Discovered!
Greetings everyone, and a warm welcome to our December edition of Life Saving Health Solutions. Thank you for subscribing and being a part of our health circle. I sincerely hope you enjoy today's newsletter and the information I'm going to be sharing with you.
"Medical Marijuana" is the New Buzz Word…Lately, a lot of attention and concern has been placed on children using medical marijuana, even though it's with parental and/or medical guidance. Most of these concerns are misplaced and out of date, and are a hangover effect from the "Reefer Madness" propaganda that was around in the 1970s. This crazy scare campaign caused a phobia of marijuana in the community. Like I said, thankfully it's now coming to an end, although some politicians and medical people (or straggler's as I like to call them) are still resisting.
Some of the children who are afflicted with the most severe form of epilepsy (Dravet Syndrome) are alive and doing well today because of specially formulated cannabis that's low in activated THC (the hallucinogenic cannabinoid). Charlotte Figi is probably the most well-known and made world headlines back in 2013 after her parents openly admitted giving her cannabis every day to treat her Dravet Syndrome. Amazingly, this little girl went from having over 300 seizures a week to only 2 or 3 through the use of medical marijuana… 6-Year-Old Colorado Girl in National Spotlight Over Medical Marijuana.
Other people are surviving cancer and curing terminal Crohn's disease through the use of higher THC cannabis. Most of them manage well on cannabis, and in time, almost completely wean themselves of the pharmaceutical medications that were actually worsening their condition. The sad fact is most senior citizens end up loaded up on pharmaceuticals just to get by and get through their daily routines. But there's now an increasing number of senior cits who are catching on to the merits of one plant's ability to replace those medications for "age related" ailments. Some terminal cancer patients have even managed to walk out of the hospice after being given up for dead through the use of cannabis…
Cannabis Cures Late Stage Cancer – One Couples AccountPerhaps the most publicized and dramatic recovery story belongs to retired dentist Stan Rutner of California. After experiencing a remission of his non-Hodgins lymphoma earlier on in his life from using natural supplements, Stan was diagnosed with lung cancer in his late 70s.
He was forced to endure chemotherapy, along with radiation therapy. Unfortunately, his cancer had worsened and progressed into his brain. His condition in the hospital got so bad that the doctors' gave up on him and assigned Stan to a hospice. At this point he was unable to walk and had to be on permanent oxygen. At age 77, Stan had been given only two weeks to live.
Fortunately, his hospice caretaker was his daughter Corrine. She didn't want her dad to die just yet, so she and her husband John researched the merits of medical marijuana and found a way for Stan to use it legally in California. Stan was given capsules of a concentrated cannabis extract in a coconut oil base every day, and after a few days he began eating and sleeping better.
At the time Corrine and John probably only had the mindset of making Stan comfortable and granting him a more respectable – maybe even slightly extended quality of life. That might have been the most to expect. But they got much more! After a few weeks Stan could walk again and he didn't need the oxygen tanks anymore. And by the end of 9 months Stan's brain, lungs, and body were completely cancer free.
Stan's Success Led to the Creation of a Terrific Site for Medical Cannabis Newcomers…As a result of Stan's success, son-in-law John and daughter Corrine began building a detailed website to help patients get started on medical cannabis. This website is particularly handy for people who are totally unfamiliar with how to go about obtaining cannabis for medical use and how to use it… unitedpatientsgroup.com
Three years later at age 80, and showing no signs of cancer after using a daily maintenance dose of cannabis infused in coconut oil, Stan is speaking out about the ridiculous federal laws prohibiting the use of medical cannabis, pointing out how cannabis is much less expensive and harmful than conventional medicine. And how cannabis use would actually save the government billions in health care costs too!
Stan is now helping others…
"My wife and I live in a wonderful place, and I now have enough energy to think about helping more people in our luxurious 'old folks home,' all of whom have some ailment that would be amenable to treatment by cannabis. We have arthritis, bowel problems, hip and knee issues, early Alzheimer's symptoms; you name it, we probably have it here [in his retirement home complex]."
You can watch a special report and documentary by Culture Magazine on Stan's astonishing recovery here…

Cancer Cures From Cannabis are not as "Rare" as the Medical Mafia Wants You to Believe…Another California senior citizen, who didn't have access to the United Patients Group website at the time, but still managed to use cannabis to heal his stage 3 prostate cancer completely in six months was Dennis Hill. He admitted he was already familiar with cannabis after being an occasional pot smoker while in high school and during his college days. So Dennis wasn't put off using marijuana in his later years. But he didn't think it could help cure him when his friends urged him to try it for his cancer. He was open and curious enough to use his scientific background as a biochemist to research actual studies though. The research was "overwhelming" and he soon realized it could help him with his cancer.
And of course it did!
Now Dennis helps others to understand the different strains of cannabis and how they can beat their cancer without side effects. He was actually one of the cannabis experts interviewed in the recent Holistic Cannabis Summit… holisticcannabissumit.com

Clove Oil - Another Potent Healer From Nature…While we're on the subject of powerful medicinal healers, have you heard about the health benefits of clove oil? Most people haven't, but here's why you should be looking to supplement with this unique oil…
The ancient texts all agree on the therapeutic properties of clove. It's a remarkable stimulant and has stomachic, expectorant, sedative, carminative, antispasmodic and digestive qualities. It helps with flatulence, stimulates digestion and restores appetite - so is good for convalescence. Clove oil is used in Eastern medicine as a general tonic for both physical and intellectual weakness - and for those suffering from frigidity. Its main therapeutic value, however, is as an antiseptic. Clove oil is outstanding for eradicating intestinal parasites and for the prevention of viral infections. It's also good for the immune system and is especially effective for mouth and tooth infections.
Here is a review of some of the scientific studies published on the healing properties of clove essential oil…
Clove Oil and Dentistry:[From India] Eugenol, the major ingredient in clove oil, has been widely used for its anesthetic and analgesic action in dentistry. Eugenol exhibits pharmacological effects on almost all systems in the body. Eugenol possesses significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, in addition to having analgesic and local anesthetic activity.
Clove Oil and Skin Cancer[From India] Spices and flavoring agents are now receiving increased attention because of their anticarcinogenic properties. Cloves are the sun-dried unopened flower buds from the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum L) and are commonly used as a spice and flavor enhancer. This particular study was designed to examine the chemopreventive action of a liquid infused mixture of cloves on induced skin cancer in Swiss mice. Researchers found a protective cancer effect from the clove. It delayed the formation of papilloma (skin cancer) and also reduced the incidence of papilloma.
Clove Oil and Diabetes[From Scotland] High blood sugar in people with diabetes results in oxidative stress and inflammatory changes that contribute to vascular complications (thrombosis) and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in hands and feet). This study examined whether treatment with eugenol, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, could improve vascular and nerve function in diabetic rats. It worked better than what researchers expected and they now believe eugenol could possess some strong therapeutic benefits for neuropathy and vasculopathy in humans with diabetes.
Clove Oil for Menstrual Pain[From Egypt] Painful menstrual periods (dysmenorrhea) are a common cause of illness and absenteeism from normal activities by women in their childbearing years. This study looked at the effect of aromatherapy massage on a group of nursing students who suffered from primary dysmenorrhea. A randomized blind clinical trial of crossover design was used… A group of 48 women received aromatherapy by abdominal massage once daily for seven days prior to menstruation using the essential oils cinnamon, clove, rose, and lavender in a base of almond oil. Group 2 received the same treatment but with a placebo oil (almond oil). The level and duration of pain, and the amount of menstrual bleeding were evaluated. The level and duration of menstrual pain and bleeding were significantly lower in the aromatherapy group than in the placebo group. These results suggest that the use of essential oils in abdominal massage can be effective in alleviating menstrual pain and shortening its duration, along with limiting excessive menstrual bleeding.
Research Using Clove Oil for Depression[From India] This study investigated the effect of clove oil on depression and anxiety in animals. Small doses of clove oil were injected into the animals for a period of 3 weeks. researchers then did a series of test such as a forced swim test and the tail suspension test to assess depression and anxiety. Researchers concluded that pre-treatment with clove oil decreased depression and anxiety similar to that of psychostimulant drugs.
Research Using Clove Oil on a Microscopic Parasitic Infection that can Cause DeathResearchers have been examining whether clove oil could be used to treat visceral leishmaniasis - also called kala-azar, black fever, and Dumdum fever. Leishmaniasis is a deadly disease caused by protozoan parasites and is actually the second-largest parasitic killer in the world (after malaria), responsible for over 500,000 infections each year worldwide.
Chemotherapy drugs are the standard treatment for leishmaniasis. These drugs are expensive and come with horrible side effects. This parasitic disease is prevalent in 47 countries with approximately 200 million people at risk of infection. The parasite is spread to humans through the bite of an infected female sand fly. It attacks the immune system and is almost always fatal if not treated quickly. There are between 200,000 and 400,000 new cases a year, of which about 90 percent are in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sudan and Brazil.
Researchers in India found that the essential oil of clove possesses significant activity against this parasite when tested on mice. The study authenticated the promising antileishmanial activity of clove oil, which could be extremely useful for the treatment of this disease in humans.
Research Using Clove Oil for Treating Lung Damage from Breathing Polluted Air[From Brazil] Breathing in diesel fumes from polluted air can cause pulmonary inflammation and can impair the functioning of the lungs. Eugenol has been found to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in experiments with tissue samples. This study used mice to examine the possible protective role of eugenol against lung damage induced by diesel particles. Mice were exposed to diesel particles for an hour and then half were exposed to eugenol. After 24 hours, a variety of pulmonary function measures were assessed.
Interestingly, they found the mice that received eugenol exerted no changes in lung mechanics, pulmonary inflammation, and alveolar collapse (alveolar is the substance lung tissue is packed with) from exposure to the diesel particles, whereas the other mice did.
Clove Oil Kills Pathogenic Yeast[From France] The antifungal activity of clove essential oil was evaluated against 53 human pathogenic yeasts in laboratory testing. Clove oil exhibited very strong radical scavenging activity, so basically, it possesses powerful antifungal activity against human pathogenic yeasts (yeast fungus), as well as being a potent free radical scavenger and antioxidant.
Clove Oil Kills Household Dust Mites[From Thailand] The search for more eco-friendly pesticides for killing house dust mites on mattresses has prompted testing of medicinal plants. This study examined the killing power of clove extract on dust mites, as well as common bacteria and fungi. There was a significant death rate for all the bacteria and fungi. Spraying was 99% and 81% effective on killing dust mites, depending on the method used. Researchers concluded that clove oil is a promising agent for killing dust mites on mattresses. It was noted that the effect of clove oil starts to diminish after 3 months so applications every 3 months would be required to keep these pests away.
Cloves Have Been Used for Centuries…Roman author, Pliny the Elder, praised cloves, as did the great Roman doctor, Alexander Trallianus. St Hildegarde (Hildegard von Bingen), in her book "Morborum Causae et Gurae", wrote that cloves should be included in the treatment of headaches, migraines, deafness after a cold, and dropsy. She stated that cloves will warm people who feel the cold, and cool down those who felt hot. During the Renaissance era, pomanders were made with cloves to keep illness epidemics, particularly the plague, at bay.
Using Cloves and Clove OilClove Oil has historically been used to numb the pain of a toothache – and it works exceptionally well for this. However, there are many other powerful uses that make this essential oil an important part of any home remedy kit…
When under physical or mental strain, or simply feeling tired, suck on a clove several times throughout the day. It has an agreeable taste, and acts as a relaxant. Sucking cloves is a particularly good idea for those trying to give up smoking.
The dental value of cloves is well known. They're antiseptic and also have sedative and minor anesthetic properties too (a sucked clove will slightly numb your tongue). If you have a toothache, either suck a clove on the side of the sore tooth, or apply a cotton bud with a drop of the essential oil to the tooth. This will give you amazing relief and also helps to keep the mouth clean due to the antiseptic effect. Never use too much of the oil though, and don't leave it on the tooth (on a piece of cotton wool for instance) as your gums could begin to flake. A good mouthwash can be made for bad breath (halitosis). All you do is boil a few cloves in a little water for 5 minutes, let it cool down, then add a few mint leaves and rinse and gargle with the strained liquid.
For rheumatic pains, mix together 1 fluid ounce of castor oil, 5 drops each of juniper and wheatgerm oils, and 5 drops of therapeutic grade organic clove oil. Rub on the affected parts and keep warm.
In popular medicine, an infusion of cloves was given to activate labor after the first pains were felt. Cloves can also help to ease labor pains.
CLOVE SOUP Serves 4
This 'soup' should be taken when minor discomforts start to appear at the beginning of winter – colds, sore throats or snuffles. As soon as you feel any symptoms coming on, make and drink this concoction.
2 and ½ cups beef stock, 2 onions peeled and thinly sliced, 1 bay leaf, 6 cloves, Himalayan pink rock salt to taste.
Put all the ingredients in a pan, bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the cloves and bay leaf, and serve hot.
Cloves are Better than Moth Balls…Another classic way to use cloves is to stick them in an orange for a pomander to sweeten the wardrobe and keep moths away. This is somewhat similar to what they did back in the Middle Ages to keep the plague away.
NOTE:Clove oil is often mixed with a vegetable oil (usually palm oil) and oil of pimento berries and leaves. This weakens the concentration of eugenol and makes the oil ineffective. Be sure to ONLY buy the 100% pure undiluted therapeutic grade (organic) clove bud oil so you get the most out of this powerful remedy.
This Just In…

CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA — CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- The University of Maryland basketball team has had some terrific memories playing North Carolina in the three years since Gary Williams became its coach. The sweep of the Tar Heels in 1990-91. The game-winning tip-in by Walt Williams in the final, frantic seconds last season at Cole Field House.
The Terps did not add to their scrapbook yesterday at the Smith Center. Dominated in the first half by North Carolina's Eric Montross and demoralized during a 19-2 run by the Tar Heels in the second half, Maryland suffered a 101-73 loss to the nation's sixth-ranked team.
It was the second straight Atlantic Coast Conference loss for the Terps (8-3, 0-2) this season, who must regroup before going to Tallahassee for Wednesday's game against No. 23 Florida State. It was also the second-largest margin of defeat for Maryland under Williams, four points shy of a 32-point blowout here two years ago.

Nicki Minaj Debuts Video For "Your Love"
Nicki Minaj has just dropped the video for her breakout hit "Your Love" and it's a winner.
She tells MTV News:
"We wanted to have geisha themes, samurai themes, stuff like that," Minaj said from the Los Angeles set. "I wanted to tell a love story. It's just kinda liking a guy, where he's not really for you to like—the forbidden fruit—and me and this other girl happen to like him and we go to war."
We're proud to say we were part of Minaj's ascension into pop superstardom, shooting her for the very first time in cute, demure outfits for our 2009 Summer Sensations fashion campaign at a time when fans had only seen her in more risque attire. While certain career moves have been questionable, Minaj is no doubt putting in work to ensure her debut album (due for release November 23) is nothing less than classic.
Check out the video and let us know if you agree:

So you are going to have a new baby and you want to be sure that the name matches just how special he or she is. But do you really want to go in the direction of odd baby names? Think about this one very carefully before making a decision that will affect your child for the rest of his or her life. Choosing a very different name for your child may seem like quite an ingenious idea at the time but can turn into a disaster later.
One of the situations you could be creating for your child by going with odd baby names is being horrendously teased by other kids. We all know that children can be the cruellest of creatures when they are young. The name calling can be very hurtful and do much damage to your child's self image and self confidence in the coming years. Things that may seem insignificant to everyone else at the time, can be of such magnitude that it will follow your child for the rest of his life.
This is not to say there is anything wrong with being creative or unique when selecting that perfect name, but do consider the consequences for your child if you go with odd baby names. You cannot have your feelings hurt if you pick such an outrageous name for your child that the first thing he or she does on that 18th birthday is rush to a courthouse for a legal name change. There is no one to blame but yourself, and you will understand why well meaning relatives and friends tried to talk you out of that particular name choice.
Perhaps you can come to a compromise of something between the odd baby names and ordinary ones. Your special baby can still have a name that will stand out and be noticed without being ridiculed. If you are still determined to be more than just a bit unique, there are many websites that you can explore to see lists compiled of thousands of baby names of all kinds. Visit these websites and spend some time speaking some of the names you THINK you like. How do the names flow with your last name? Is the name something that can easily be turned into a joke? That is not something you want for your very special baby.
These are some things to consider seriously when thinking of odd baby names for your new arrival. The most important thing to remember when choosing a name for your baby, is that it will define this child in life. Be different and unique if you must. But always keep the future of your child in mind.↑ Back to Top

The North Korean government is demanding Canadian officials apologize for "recklessly spouting rubbish" after expressing concern regarding the arrest of Hyeon Soo Lim, a Korean-Canadian pastor sentenced to a life of hard labor for allegedly conspiring to overthrow the Kim Jong-un regime.
"Public officials of Canada, including its premier, have been rashly unleashing malicious slander against our republic about the hard labor for life sentence against him," adding, "We cannot suppress outrage that the Canadian government dares to pick a quarrel with our fair and just judicial decision speaking of 'concern' and 'violation of international law' when its citizen has committed a vicious crime against us," read a statement of condemnation at the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the state's propaganda arm.
The government of North Korea is demanding an apology from Canada, declaring that "Canada's unreasonable and disrespectful reaction will only complicate the situation." The statement, published on KCNA, also noted that North Korea had barred Canadian officials from visiting Hyeon Soo Lim during the process leading up to his 90-minute trial, but now "North Korea has invited the Canadian delegation to attend Lim's trial and even allowed the consulate to make contact with Lim later."
The KCNA article even attempted to depict the life sentence for Kim as merciful, claiming "North Koreans … demanded that the North Korean legal system punish Lim more severely."
The Canadian government responded to the sentencing of one of its citizens with a measured statement expressing "tremendous concern" over Lim's wellbeing. "We are very concerned about someone being sentenced to life in North Korea and we certainly hope to be able to engage with this individual and stand up for his rights," leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in response to the news of his conviction. Trudeau also demanded that Canadian officials be given access to citizens imprisoned internationally: "We need to be able to meet with and ensure that Canadians are being properly treated everywhere around the world, including North Korea and we will be continuing to press North Korea authorities."
Canadian Global Affairs Department spokeswoman Diana Khaddaj issued a notably stern statement against the conviction, the Toronto Star noted, calling the sentence "unduly harsh" and demanding Canada have "consular access" in North Korea to handle such cases.
Lim was arrested and tried for a series of crimes, including "harming the dignity of the supreme leadership, trying to use religion to destroy the North Korean system, disseminating negative propaganda about the North to Koreans overseas, helping American and South Korean authorities to lure and abduct North Korean citizens, and aiding their programs to assist defectors from the North," according to Vice.
Short as the trial may seem and harsh the punishment, attorneys in the trial allegedly reduced the punishment from a death sentence to life of hard labor in one of North Korea's notorious prison camps. The defense argued Lim should receive the chance to "witness for himself the reality of the nation of the Sun as it grows in power and prosperity."
Prior to the trial, the North Korean government forced Lim to appear in a propaganda video confessing to being engaged in a plot to overthrow Kim Jong-un, a tactic former North Korean prisoners have decried as forced confession. Lim's family have protested his sentence, noting that, as a pastor in the Light Korean Presbyterian Church, he has allegedly made more than 100 humanitarian aid trips to North Korea without incident and that he is suffering extremely high blood pressure and could die if relegated to a labor camp.
North Korea has developed a reputation for persecuting Westerners who enter the country with even the slightest overt religious affiliation. Last year, American citizen Jeffrey Edward Fowle was arrested for violating North Korean law, allegedly after a hotel worker found a Bible Fowle had accidentally left in his hotel room. The presence of the Bible was considered an act of propaganda against communism by the North Korean state.
In a similar, more prominent, case, American Kenneth Bae served two years in a North Korean labor camp after being arrested for managing a travel agency the North Korean government claimed was secretly proselytizing for the Christian faith. Following an extended diplomacy effort and medical test proving Bae's health was fragile, North Korea released Bae short of serving his allotted 16 years in a labor camp.

Anterior Approach to Surgery by Dr. Matta
Note by Patricia Walter: Sometimes hip resurfacing surgeons are not specific when they are talking about the "anterior approach to surgery" since this can include the Direct Anterior Approach, the Anterolateral Approach and other variations. The surgeons using the posterior approach often refer to the "anterior approach" incorrectly to include all types of anterior approaches. Dr. Matta has written a comprehensive explanation of the Anterior Approach to explain the misinformation often presented.

The choice of approach to use for resurfacing has received much attention and I believe extra "hype."

Title: View Point
Date: July 13, 2017
A professor told me this story of his travels to Greek monasteries.
One evening he sat at dinner with Brother Jared, a Greek Orthodox monk with a glossy black beard and shining eyes, who lived in the famously photographed spire-monastery on Mount Athos, in Greece.*
From their high perch, they observed the serene scene spread before them: the Mediterranean Sea drenched in the radiance of a many-colored sunset on an evening where the sea and sky melded together with the difference between the two imperceptible. The professor, looking at the splendor, laid down his bread, took up his wine and after taking a sip, turned to the monk and said, sweeping his hand, "Brother Jarred isn't this absolutely beautiful?"
There was a pause as the brother considered the panorama and measured the professor. He replied, "Not absolutely."
What did the monk mean by this? I believe it is a matter of perspective. The monk's frame of reference was steeped in relative isolation, contemplative prayer and liturgy, and a fierce focus on God. Everything he saw, everything he thought, everything he did had only one point of reference – God. Only God is absolute anything – absolute omnipotence, absolute love, absolute mercy, absolute joy, absolute omnipresence, and absolute beauty.
It is worth remembering that everything in this world – from the awesome power of nations and armies to the beauty of film and rock stars – and sunsets – all of it, everything, is by definition less absolute than God.
Let's Pray: Dear God, only You are absolute. Be our reference point for all judgments in life. Amen.
Today's Thought Is: Only God.

Education Technology: An Evidence-Based Review
Maya Escueta, Vincent Quan, Andre Joshua Nickow, Philip Oreopoulos
NBER Working Paper No. 23744
In recent years, there has been widespread excitement around the potential for technology to transform learning. As investments in education technology continue to grow, students, parents, and teachers face a seemingly endless array of education technologies from which to choose—from digital personalized learning platforms to educational games to online courses. Amidst the excitement, it is important to step back and understand how technology can help—or in some cases hinder—how students learn. This review paper synthesizes and discusses experimental evidence on the effectiveness of technology-based approaches in education and outlines areas for future inquiry. In particular, we examine RCTs across the following categories of education technology: (1) access to technology, (2) computer-assisted learning, (3) technology-enabled behavioral interventions in education, and (4) online learning. While this review focuses on literature from developed countries, it also draws upon extensive research from developing countries. We hope this literature review will advance the knowledge base of how technology can be used to support education, outline key areas for new experimental research, and help drive improvements to the policies, programs, and structures that contribute to successful teaching and learning.

LOS ANGELES – California Highway Patrol officers shot and wounded a man walking on a downtown Los Angeles highway after he charged at them with a weapon early Tuesday, authorities said.
All northbound lanes of Interstate 110 and the connectors to Interstate 10 were closed following the shooting, backing up commuter traffic for miles.
Highway patrol officers responded to several reports of a pedestrian in lanes, Los Angeles police Detective Meghan Aguilar told reporters. She said the man was uncooperative and did not comply with officers' orders.
Officers opened fire when the man charged at them with a weapon, Aguilar said. She did not say what kind of weapon it was.
The man was struck by gunfire and hospitalized in unknown condition. He was not immediately identified.
The north side of I-110, a key route through downtown Los Angeles, was expected to be closed until at least 9 a.m. during the investigation.

#OldELTpost is a regular blog challenge about encouraging, rediscovering and thanking people for their blogs.
The idea came about when I was on another teachers blog. I saw the popular posts and realised that I had never read any of them!
With all the new blog posts that come out everyday it can be hard to find time to review the best old posts that people have put out. So I had the idea. What if once a month I asked people to recommend their favourite old blog posts from a specific blogger?
So why should I take part in #oldeltpost?
- A prompt to re-read an old post you liked and learnt from in the past
- A chance to share a great blog post people might have missed
- A chance to encounter a blog post from before you followed this blogger
- A chance to show your appriciation to that blogger.
- A nice boost of blog traffic to the blogger (which is always nice to see)
How to take part in #oldeltpost
- Go to the persons blog
- Find a blog post you read and liked (or if you don't know the blogger check out their popular posts or use a search for keywords that you are interested in)
- Copy the link and leave it in the comment section of the post OR tweet it with the hashtage #oldeltpost (or even do both)
- Recomend the next person.
Here are the links to past victims

Thank's to all the Jones Haters
34 RepliesJump to last post
I wanted to thank everyone for all their posts. I'm now studying to take the series 7 with EDJ, and I stumbled across this forum while doing research to prepare for the next step in my training. I want to tell you I was pretty sure I made the right decision to join Jones before I found this forum, but now I am 100% certain I made the right choice. Look at all the hate. Jones gets slammed 10 times more than any other firm. Why, because they treat their people bad? Because they treat their clients bad? The best analogy I can make is the New York Yankees. I'm not from New York, and I certainly do hate the Yankees, but I hate them because they are soooo good. Year in and year out they are always in contention for the championship. I'm pretty certain that you all are pretty much the same way. Just look at some of the comments that have been written:<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
"I hate Jones, but man do they know how to train brokers"
"All those kool-aid drinkers are just working for the MP's" – Lets see 9000 IR's and 300 MP's on shear numbers that means I have a 1 in 300 shot of making MP. So if I work hard build a strong book, and work hard to improve the firm I could probably improve those odds to 1 in 30. I figure I have a great chance to be a major owner of a brokerage firm just by doing my job. Where else are you going to get that opportunity?
"Their product offering is so minimal" – I'd rather be excellent at a few things than mediocre at everything.
"How many single broker strip mall offices can one firm need." – Jones uses the most expensive business model in the industry and thrives at it. Could it be that clients prefer to talk to their brokers face to face.
"I was an 5 year vet and went indy" – What could be a more ringing endorsement for a firm than that it trains it's people well enough to go into business for themselves.
I have yet to met a Jones rep who isn't a nice person, every one of the half dozen reps that I've talked to in my region have taken time out of their busy schedules to answer all my questions, offer advice, and encourage me to talk with them again. I'm not so sure most of you would express the same courtesy, after reading newbie after newbie get slammed in this forum. So, I'm drinking as much of the kool-aid as I can get my hands on.
I just left Jones. Was there good and bad, of course. Are their serious problems, you bet. Not everyone at Jones is bad or unfriendly, but keep in mind they are on a big growth push. You will be surprised how those "nice people" change once you are hired and working.
Good luck. Your eyes will be opened soon so keep that in mind.
p.s. It's LP not MP. Makes me wonder just how much you know about Jones.
Enjoy your office being next to a subway and nail salon. That really impresses HNW clients.
I was actually in an old friend's office yesterday. He works for an unnamed regional. Here I was in foyer waiting for him to come out. His office (and 10 others)—marble floor in foyer, oriental rugs throughout, 2 conference rooms with A/V equip. mahogany furn, etc,etc,etc. And across the street in the standard run down strip mall was guess who? jones with the cheesey signs promoting I don't know what hanging in the windows. Well, I have a 7 figure portfolio and IF I wasn't in the biz, guess which office would convey the proper message to me if I was a potential client? Huh, which one??
Kool Aid,
Jones does a good job in the training arena. You sound like I did back in '01. I am sure you will see the light. I left and went Indy and have never looked back.
Sure, drink the kool-aid but dont get drunk off of it.
Good Luck,

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that the business model that Jones has chosen to pursue? To go after those who are mid/mass market clients and grow them to become high net worth? To try to blend into a community like a small business? Most of that market would probably be intimidated by an office that is not as modest as your average Jones branch.
Kool-Aid-I agree with you 100% - Jones had a very good training model. If it's the right choice for you, then that's fantastic. I would urge, though, that after you are a few years in and other firms come knocking to speak with you, listen to what they have to say.
As a recruiter, I urge reps to do this all the time. It's not so that I help someone transition. In fact, I would say that 9 times out of 10, the reps that speak with other firms, learn that they are happier where they are. What this will do, however, is enlighten you to other organizations and how they work. There is good, bad and ugly everywhere you go.
Just my thoughts. I interviewed with many other competitors in my previous career and I stayed put 90% of the time. The best thing to do is have an open mind and KNOW for sure that the business model you are in is the best for you.
Jones is a great place for some reps. If that's the right model for you and you're happy, more power to ya and congratulations - so many people walk into work everyday hating their boss, their company, their pay, whatever.
Best of luck
jones chooses that by force due to the lack of choice in platforms, vendors, and everything else to do w/ financial planning. The bottomline on your comment is THEY choose v having the products and platforms to choose yourself. Doesn't that really tell the story?
You keep sipping that Kool-Aid, and maybe someday, you too can be part of the Military Police ...
Maybe when you grow up, you can migrate over to REAL independence...but you'll have to unlearn a lot of bad habits...
LP would be great, but I'm going to work my tail off for a chance at MP in years 5 through 10.
Kool-Aid Lover,
There are three levels of partnership at Jones: LP (Limited partner); GP (General partner) and MP (Managing partner).
Since you are new to Jones I wouldn't count on becoming Managing Partner in 5-10 years (since there is only one MP)
You may want to become a little more educated before you head off to KYC and embarrass yourself!
Good luck

Thanks for taking time to point out my mistake. I did mean GP and not MP. I don't know were my head was when I wrote the original post, probably too wrapped up into trying to figure the difference between bearish and bullish butterfly spread options.
Setting a goal to become MP would be way too "pie in the sky" as it would take as much fate as hard work to make MP.
As far as making mistakes, what better time to make them than in training. I have no doubt that I'll be making more mistakes in the weeks to come, as well I have no doubt that I will not be embarrassed for making them.
You've got a great attitude!
Keep studying for the 7. That's the easy part.
I have nothing against E Jones, but your comment "– I'd rather be excellent at a few things than mediocre at everything" does not cut it.
is too limiting. You carreer may last 25 years, why go with a
firm that apparently is not equiped to handle the most profitable
of client when so many others can do both?
Good lcuk either way!
I hate to spill your Kool-Aid but here are some facts:
1. Jones still has the California AG office coming at them for over $300 million on this revenue sharing deal. Where AG is asserting that Jones crossed the proverbial conflict of interest line. There is also at least one other major class action suit pending in State of MO.
2. Because of this pending litigation Jones can not raise any more capital through their BS limited partenship scheme. How you going to be GP when you can even be a LP?
3. I know of one hell of a law suit being contemplated on some very credible and new legal theories that could easily hit them for another $100 million.
As I said several times on this post; it is not the performance, or what some survey says about financial service companies.....it comes down to one thing THE CAPITAL! Take it away and adios EDJ!
Mr. Legstrong,
<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
After finishing "the NASD" rules section of my Series 7 training, I read your post, and since it dovetailed nicely into my training. I decided to analyze the Statement of Financial Condition that every firm has to provide their clients and prospective clients. Here's what I found:
As of June 24, 2005 the firm has Net Capital just shy of $600 million to meet minimum requirements it would only need $50 million. So if the $400 million of pending and contemplated litigation you wrote about went against the firm then "the Capital" would still be there, to the tune of 3 times the requirement. Not to mention that since Jones is a Partnership the general partners are on the "hook" for loses, and I seem to recall the general partners paid the bill the last time. With Doug Hill paying the largest share, and where I come from that is what the leader should do.
So I'm pretty sure the firm will be around in 3 years when I'm first eligible for LP, and I'm confident we can weather Bill Lockyer and his quest to become Governor of California.
aahh Grass Hopper
Unfortunately you do not know how to compute minimum net capital. When capital goes down the required capital goes up. Some fancy stuff called customer reserve calculation. Look it up!
Anyway EDJ is in the plaintiff class action attorney and AG cross hairs; these attorney fellas want that capital. Do yourself a favor and research the fall of Drexal Burnham - it was a lot bigger than EDJ both in capital and profits...Then BOOM - Gone! after the nice people from the AG office got to them. Research the fall of Drysdale Securities, did some bad stuff BOOM! gone in a week! Research General American Life Insurance in St. Louis...BOOM! gone in three weeks! Look at Executive Life it was rated AAA then BOOM gone -the California AG took it away. Reseach Stock Walk (aka Miller Johnson) up in MN a few years ago - 200 million hit to capital - gone in three days.
You see Grass Hopper financial services companies game plan is to make as much as they can without getting caught. When they get caught - it can create a meltdown of capital so quick that it can be fatal.
Mark my words if and when EDJ gets hit for $100 - $300 million and all of the LPs are trying to get their money out and the GPs are trying to move all the cash they made to Uraguay or something - it will be MELT DOWN time. I would say that there is about a 40% chance of this happening. Do the research on the financial services companies that have melted down the last 25 years....I am not making this stuff up. Ken Lay at Enron was convince that it was a PR problem right into bankruptcy..a judgement comes down the pipe on EDJ and that is a direct hit to capital. Also compare the capital base to other BDs -
EDJ is CON game. The reps drink the Kool Aid and then believe that they are going to help people. The Reality is most of them are steering their customers into things like ICA where it is statistically impossible to beat the market over the long run...Why? Because ICA has over 90% correlation to the S&P. The customer would be much better in low cost index funds...but now that would not be in the best interest of EDJ Geeps and Reps now would it. Does that sound just little like a CONflict of interest?
So here is the EDJ (and others) game plan: Lets try every concieveable line of BS to CONvince the clients that we are not skimming money from them.
Also ask the guys pooring the Kool-Aid for you why EDJ has not issued any LP units lately.....The answer is simple- Because they can't. Their attorneys will NOT sign off on the nescessary legal opinion that their is NO material liabilities.
The GPs are just a bunch of racketeers, the built an organized system of skimming money from hard working Americans and they are making a lot more money than they deserve! And they use the rep base as a tool to do this. Nature has a way of weeding out these models and the unsatiable greed that the GPs have demonstrate over these revenue sharing (kick back) schemes could be the end of EDJ.
Of coure I could be wrong...but I bet it is just a matter of time!
Good Luck CONvincing your clients that you can actually help them!
Regardless I get a good laugh reading about the Kool-Aid kids on this board.
All right Mr. Legstrong,<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I've got some time now that I'm on the review portion of my training. I'll take on your challenge, and do a deeper dive into that fancy customer reserve calculations thing. Lets see if I can move that boiling pot of hot oil from one pedestal to the other and open the door to the temple.
Don't forget to research the other "melt downs" I noted…that is more important than the customer reserve rules! It will illustrate just how fast well capitilized profitable firms can fall apart. Just throw in a judgement or two…BOOM - Gone!
The problem with these forums is that people can speak with an air of authority when in reality they haven't got a clue. Lance after looking into the issues you presented I've concluded that you really don't know what you are talking about. Lets start with your statements about how minimum capital requirements are calculated.
<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
SEC rule 15C3-1 allows for different types of firms to meet minimum capital requirements in different ways. At Jones we must maintain minimum net capital equal to $250,000 or 2% of aggregated debit items arising from customer transactions. So your statement that as net capital decreases, the minimum capital requirement increases is false.
Further your assumption that litigation and settlements effect the firms capital position is false s well. As with the settlement with the SEC and the AG of Missouri the GP's paid the fine from their own pockets. Keeping the firms capital intact.
In the cases you mentioned in your post. All of them involved serious financial catastrophes that resulted in litigation, and not litigation that lowered capital.
1990's Drexal Burnahm – the inventor of the Junk bond portfolio, and over-funding schemes.
1982 Drysdale Securities – Firm under funding that directly led to the 1986 Government Securities Act creating rules for Capital Requirements for all broker/dealers.
Late 90's General American Life Insurance (now owned by Met Life) – Submitting false claims to Medicare.
Early 90's Executive Life – Multi billion dollar portfolio of junk bonds.
Late 90's Stockwalk parent of "MLK" – Out of compliance with federal rules regarding minimum capital requirements.
In a nutshell they committed serious financial errors or fraud that resulted in their loss of capital and their downfall. This isn't even close to being the case with EJ.
The litigation brought by AG of California is regarding failure to ensure that our clients were informed that EJ received profit sharing from the "preferred funds", and that profit sharing payments were distributed to IR's in direct proportion to the funds sold. This in no way reflects as bad investment of our net capital, nor were we skimming from our clients as our customers did not pay more for their funds than someone who bought the funds through a broker not receiving profit sharing.
Maybe you should get off the Jack Daniels and start drinking the Kool-Aid.

Gobble gobble folks! It's Thanksgiving, which means it's time to for us to give thanks for what Magic has given us!
Wait? That was yesterday? Damn. What's today? Black Friday? Hmm…
Ok! Welcome back folks! In the theme of Black Friday, today we'll be ranking the top 10 black cards in Standard. These rankings are not simply which card is the most powerful or sees the most play. Rather, it'll be my opinion on the 10 black cards that have the biggest effect on the shape of the Standard format. Let's go!
10. Mindwrack Demon
Mindwrack Demon is secretly two different cards, but don't tell anyone. The first card is a 4/5 flyer for 4 mana that helps you turn on delirium. That's incredibly powerful. The second card, however, is a 4 mana 4/5 flyer that deals you 4 damage every turn. That's slightly less powerful. Obviously, the key to this card is being able to cater to its strengths and weaknesses. Before Kaladesh rotation, decks like Jund Delirium and B/G Delirium were able to play this card without second thought. The important enabler cards, such as Grapple with the Past, Vessel of Nascency, and Liliana, the Last Hope have not rotated, which has allowed the powerful B/G Delirium deck of the current Standard to use Mindwrack Demon to its fullest. As the format progresses, l expect to see less and less of Mindwrack Demon. It's obviously a very powerful card on its face, but, as crazy as it sounds, a 4/5 flyer for 4 mana only goes so far.
9. Murder
When Murder's reprint was announced, I was incredibly excited. Maybe even too excited. This card was really needed in Standard, and it's been consistently played since it was printed for the second time. Currently, It's only seeing play as a 2-of in most B/G Delirium decks, but it plays an important role in the deck. It's not flashy, but 3 mana to destroy any creature is a good rate for an instant. Murder will be a consistently used card in this Standard format. No shift in format will see B/G Delirium stop using this card. More control? Grasp of Darkness will be cut first. More U/W Flash? Ruinous Path will be cut first. My only issue with this card is that the old art was strictly better. Fight me in the comments.
8/7. Prized Amalgam & Haunted Dead
I put these two back to back on my top 10 list, and I realized that it would just be wrong to give them each their own segment and separate them. Why? Because these two are best friends and when one is thriving, so is the other. This combination was been so powerful that it has made the Modern Dredge deck not only viable, but solidly tier 1. When Haunted Dead was printed in Eldritch Moon, players quickly recognized the powerful synergy between these two cards. At the Pro Tour, Sam Black popularized the U/B Zombies deck that would be a minor player in Standard for the rest of the format. Since Kaladesh rotation, it has been B/R Zombies that has utilized this combo to its fullest so far. B/R Zombies may be tier 1.5 or tier 2, but it is a force to be reckoned with in this format, and this combination or cards are the reason. I'm a B/R Zombies supporter, so I expect that we will see this combination of cards more and more as this Standard format progresses.
6. Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet
When this card was printed, no one doubted that it was powerful. However, most people did not expect it to turn into the Modern "staple-ish" that it is today. It's power and toughness, its important exile clause, its activated ability, its fairly low mana cost. All of these combined have caused Kalitas to be a force to be reckoned with, and its moderate play in Standard right now will only increase. Cards this powerful never fade away from Standard. Instead, they take small breaks of dominance. Brad Nelson's winning B/G Delirium list from SCG Knoxville had no maindeck Kalitas, but I expect that as the format develops, Kalitas regains the spotlight.
5. Grim Flayer
This card, on the other hand, is seeing an impressive amount of play in the B/G Delirium decks. It allows them to be proactive in an otherwise reactive deck, which is an angle that can help B/G Delirium capitalize on opponents stumbling on mana or curve. Before Kaladesh, Grim Flayer was seeing significantly less play. But, with the pseudo-rotation of Sylvan Advocate (it's very bad now), Grim Flayer has taken the spotlight that people knew it would have. Grim Flayer is the definition of a Standard staple, and it won't lose that title any time soon.
4. Unlicensed Disintegration
This is the first Kaladesh card on the list! Yay! It's also the only Kaladesh card on this list. Kaladesh didn't add much to the black decks in this Standard format, but Unlicensed Disintegration has been critical to the success of the archetype that this set created: Mardu Vehicles. On its surface, this card's power-level is apparent. 3 Mana to kill any creature is a great rate (sound familiar?), and dealing 3 damage is extremely useful for the aggressive Mardu Vehicles deck. When many players were testing Standard before the set was released, they realized that the best Vehicles cards were in W/R, but Unlicensed Disintegration was powerful enough that it demanded a splash. Since release, most of the Vehicles decks have elected to play Unlicensed Disintegration, and they won't be looking back any time soon.
3. Cryptbreaker
I considered putting this card next to Prized Amalgam and Haunted Dead, but I believe that this card is more powerful than either of them, individually. The real power of this card is its synergy with…itself. Firstly, in any deck where you want to play Cryptbreaker, you will want to play cards that have synergy with discard, so 2 mana to make a zombie and gain value is a good rate. Later on, the zombies you've created draw you cards to regain the card advantage that you've "lost" through discards. However, since cards like Prized Amalgam, Haunted Dead, and Fiery Temper would rather be discarded, the cards you gain at a cost of zero mana through Cryptbreaker's second activated ability are actually simply card advantage at its most basic. Part of me wants to make the claim that this is the most powerful card in Standard, but I can't in good conscience say that. However, the claim I can make is that this is the only card in Standard that can single-handedly win a game on its own if its played on turn 1 and never properly answered.
2. Liliana, the Last Hope
Liliana is an excellent card for the current and past incarnations of the Delirium archetype, as her +1 allows Delirium to stall until Ishkanah, Grafwidow can take over the game, and her -2 allows the deck to play another "free" delirium enable, and to play a more powerful late game than its opponent. As the format develops, Liliana will surely stay relevant, as its applications are wider than most other cards in the format. Unfortunately, the fact that she's played in the same deck as Emrakul, the Promised End is a disgrace. How am I supposed to live out the storyline of Eldritch Moon if Emrakul and Liliana are working together? Tell me!
1. Grasp of Darkness
No, it's not flashy. No, it will never win you a game. However, Grasp of Darkness is the best black card in the format. It's an easy and consistent inclusion as a 4-of in every B/G Delirium deck, and that won't change any time soon. Against U/W Flash, Grasp kills every creature they play in the mainboard. As long as U/W Flash is being played as much as it is now, Grasp of Darkness is going nowhere. 2 mana to kill most creatures in the format is exactly what B/G Delirium needs to stall the game until its more powerful cards like Ishkanah, Grafwidow can land and take over the game. In a format that only has 2 tier 1 decks, building your tier 1 deck to be good against the other will help improve your matchup. Grasp of Darkness being played a full playset in most every B/G Delirium deck is the result of this. As a quick aside, I may be recognizing a pattern about myself, as I really don't think the current art on Grasp of Darkness comes close to the old art. Again, fight me in the comments.
That's it for this Black Friday-themed top 10 list. Do you agree or disagree? Let me know in the comments below.
Mardu Vehicles is primed for a comeback in this Standard format. Read this article from Austin Mansell if you're looking for an evolution of the popular aggro deck.
Until next time.

Phil Jagielka should come in direct contact with his Everton team mate Steven Naismith on Tuesday at Celtic Park when Scotland take on England.
Jags is full of praise for the Scot, who has become an Everton crowd favourite.
Jags said: "I don't think it's just this season. When he first came to Everton he came off a bad injury and didn't get the run of games that he would have liked. As soon as he got that run of matches his confidence got up and he got some really important goals for us last season."
"Basically from the start of this season he was our main goalscorer. Hopefully, he has an off day when we play against Scotland. We don't go up against each other much in training because of all the games, we don't have that many 'eye-ball out' sessions where it is ridiculously competitive. But when the pace is picked up in the little possession games and things get a bit heated, he's hard work. We have a lot of good players in training and Naisy is up there with the best.
"The only time a bit of banter might come out is when there is a break in play and I'm close to Naisy.
"That happens in normal games too, if you meet a guy that has moved on from your club. Otherwise you've got enough on your plate than thinking what jokes I can tell him. It depends how well he is doing, if he is doing really well then no chance! If we are doing all right then I'll go looking for him to give him a bit of stick."
Naisy said: "It's going to be strange. It will be a weird experience when you're going for balls together and I'm sure you'll not be thinking about all the banter that goes on, you'll be thinking about the game. After the game it will be back to normal being mates again I suppose.
"You're focused on the job at hand but when the ball goes out of play or there is a break in play then you might say a few words. During the game you'll forget you're playing against Jags or Bainesy or whoever and you'll be concentrating on your game."
Who will come out on top Jags or Naisy? Comment Below.
