Recommended - Highly Recommended
Soccer MacKenzie, a young mouse who lives in the pantry, learns there is a new cat at home, and he is wild. Soccer hears the news from Tipsy the spider, who heard it from the ladybug who heard it from the housefly...
Later Soccer gets to meet the new cat and learns she isn't wild at all, but a baby kitten who wants to be his friend.
Positives: The story is very imaginative and will entertain young children. They will giggle at Soccer's antics and learn a valuable lesson as well.
Negatives: None
Talking Points: The book of Proverbs talks a lot about our words and our listening. Look at some of these verses and talk with your child about who and what they listen to (Prov. 18:8, 26:22). This may also be a chance to talk about God and His Word being the source of all truth (Ps. 119:160, John 17:17).

Demi Lovato Rushed To Hospitalexpand
I hope u feel better soon, Demi!
Demi Lovato was rushed to the hospital Tuesday due to a lung infection. But don't worry — she's OK. She just had to miss some studio time, TMZ reports.
The singer had to go to the ER in Tarzana, California, for flu-related symptoms.
Demi was in the studio last week, but will probably have to put her creative time on hold while she gets better. The album is expected out this year.

【zt:briefing.com】Floor Talk: Stock market was in rally mode just a short time ago, but reversed in abrupt fashion following a headline that (股市)
Floor Talk
Stock market was in rally mode just a short time ago, but reversed in abrupt fashion following a headline that the ECB's Governing Council has lifted the current waiver of minimum credit rating requirements for marketable instruments issued or guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic (i.e. Greece) since it is currently not possible to assume successful conclusion of the programme review. The instruments in question, the statement said, will cease to be eligible as collateral as of the maturity of the current main refinancing operation.
The suspension has no impact on the counterparty status of Greek financial institutions. It was noted that the liquidity needs of Eurosystem counterparties, for counterparties that do not have sufficient alternative collateral, can be satisfied by the relevant national central bank, by means of emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) within the existing Eurosystem rules.
This statement hit the stock market as much for its timing as its substance. A day ago, a rally was forged in part on the reported notion that Greece was striking a more conciliatory tone in its debt negotiation efforts. Many participants were perhaps lulled into thinking that everyone is going to play nice in the end and that Greece will ultimately get the funding it needs to run its country and make its debt payments. That could still happen, but today's statement makes it known that nothing can be taken for granted and that the new leaders of Greece are quickly finding out that it is not as easy to confront the country's creditors as duly elected leaders as it is being duly nominated candidates.
It all feeds into a new feeling of uncertainty; hence, there has been a sell-first-ask-questions later response that has undone what had been shaping up to be a nice rally to end the day.

I got my first oracle deck today. I grew up being told that stuff was bad and to stay away from it. A month or two ago, I had a feeling I needed to try it and that I have a gift for it, and it might be of help to me. I tried to go to the store and get a deck like five times, but each time I couldn't do it because of my religious training. I listened to that more than my gut, and I couldn't seem to override it. Last week, I got on Amazon and ordered a Goddess deck.
I got it in the mail today. It's been amazing already! I've learned so much already and it is so encouraging and helpful. I'm pretty excited about this. If any of you have any tips or things you use it for, I'd like to hear it. I'm so very new to it all, I'm not totally sure all the things it can be used for. Thanks!

According to the American Heart Association, 2,300 Americans die of cardiovascular disease every day, leading to an average of one person every 38 seconds.
February is American Heart Health Month. It is a month dedicated to educating and spreading awareness about heart health.
Old rescue dogs are like kids to Sheila Brookins. She takes them in and cares for them, getting them the treatment they need. Like her dogs, Brookins knows what it is like to live with a chronic health condition.
"I started having high blood pressure when I was a teenager," she said. "My doctor put me on high blood pressure medication."
Brookins spent more than 50 years on blood pressure medications that did always seem to work. Finally, she decided to visit Mayo Clinic Health System for an Electrocardiogram (EKG).
"She goes, 'There's something wrong,'" Brookins said. "And, she wasn't one-hundred percent sure, because I passed it, but it just wasn't quite right."
She was diagnosed with a form of heart disease. The testing found that one side of her heart was much thicker than the other.
"She had me go in immediately for a pacemaker and a defibrillator," Brookins said.
The tests also led to another shocking discovery about Brookins' health.
"After I had been in a stressful situation, I just thought it was heartburn. I found out I was having many heart attacks," she said. "I had five of them. That caused more scarring in my heart."
"Not everyone may have the symptoms you see in movies with the heart pains, crushing elephants on the chest," said Dr. Monique Freund, Cardiologist at Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse.
American Heart Month hopes to turn attention to heart health, something cardiologists say is important not only in February but all year-round.
"Studies continue to show that awareness is still quite lacking," Freund said. "If you take a roving mic in the street and ask women, they'll probably say their biggest risk is breast cancer. While it is important, their risk of heart disease is probably the same if not higher."
With knowledge comes the power to get proper treatment.
"I listened to my body, and that's something everybody needs to do is listen to their body," Brookins said. "If things just aren't quite right, tell a doctor that you trust no matter how small it is, because it can go to something much bigger."
Brookins found out that heart disease did run in her family. Shortly after she was diagnosed, her cousin died suddenly from the same disease. She reached out to all of her children, telling them to be alert. One of her daughters has also been diagnosed.
Brookins credits an advancement in technology for reaching her diagnosis. She says that although it took more than five decades of not knowing what was wrong, medical practice was different in the past. She encourages all older men and women their hearts checked regularly.

A four-hour new infant/child CPR course will be offered Saturday morning by the south county office of the American Red Cross.
Susan Folden, assistant professor of nursing at Florida Atlantic University, will instruct participants in the skills of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including artificial respiration, artificial circulation and relief of an obstructed airway.
``The course is for parents of newborns, expectant parents, parents of young children and particularly parents of `high risk` infants,`` said Pat Simm, South County Red Cross director.
``We`re offering the course because many parents feel that during the regular eight-hour course, not enough time is spent on CPR for children.``
Simm said studies show most deaths of children and infants are caused by accidents, drownings and choking. She said parents who take the course will know what to do during an emergency.
The course will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Red Cross office, 500 NE Spanish River Blvd., Boca Raton. There is still room for about four participants, Simm said. Another course is being organized for December. For information, call 368-6622 or 734-7722.

Laurentide Hall Renovations
University of Wisconsin – Whitewater
Laurentide Hall, located on the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater campus, built in 1972. Throughout it's time on the campus the building was primarily being used as the College of Business and Economics, and never undergone any major renovation. Dramatic changes in Business Education, along with the rapid growth of enrollment in the department and growing technology needs the University decided to build a new building (Hyland Hall) to house the College of Business and Economics, opening summer of 2009, effectively leaving Laurentide Hall vacant. The University's goal with the renovations is to bring a 21st century learning environment into the outdated and underused building, along with finding a permanent place for the College of Letters and Sciences.
Renovations included, 77,300 GSF of existing classroom and office space into primarily office and laboratory space for the College of Letters and Sciences. This project also called for 5,550 GSF in additions. Additions included a 4,000 GSF on the east side, to house the primary entrance, vertical circulation, and collaboration spaces; 1,050 GSF located on the 4th floor for conferences along with additional collaboration spaces. The remaining 500 GSF are located on the 1st floor in the northwest corner of the building to improve the east entry and receiving area. Renovations also included: replacement of the deteriorating HVAC system, with a chilled beam system; electrical; and lighting systems.

A 24-year-old Minchinbury Jets soccer player has been charged for assaulting a teenage boy during a game at Laybutt Reserve in Blacktown at 3.20pm on Sunday.
The 16-year-old lineman's jaw was fractured during the alleged assault.
The Glenmore Park man attended Blacktown police station on Thursday afternoon where he was charged with common assault.
The Blacktown Workers Football Club junior was allegedly assaulted by several Minchinbury Jets players, one of whom police said punched the boy in the face, 20 minutes into the All Ages division 6 men's game against the Workers at their home ground.
The boy fell to one knee and the alleged attack only stopped when spectators intervened, police said.
The Jets player was granted bail to appear at Blacktown Court on June 20 on the condition he doesn't approach the alleged victim or visit Laybutt Reserve.
Blacktown police are appealing for witnesses who were at the soccer fields at the corner of Reservoir Rd and Penny Pl next to the Blacktown Workers Sports Club.
The boy was rushed to Westmead Hospital to see a plastic surgery but won't require surgery, a witness told the Advocate.
The witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity and was at the game, said the boy's family was "distressed" over the incident.
The alleged attack is believed to have been prompted over an offside call when a number of Minchinbury players confronted the boy.
One of the Jets players was sent off after the attack and the Blacktown Workers players didn't retaliate, the witness said.
The game wasn't called off and ended in a 2-2 draw.
Blacktown & District Football Association CEO Jack Taylor said the judiciary would address the incident on Monday and report its findings to him early next week.
Mr Taylor said the association wouldn't make any comment on the assault.
Detectives are asking for anyone who was present and witnessed the alleged assault to contact them on 9671 9199 or Crimestoppers 1800 333 000.

Back at Harvard, day 1
Tonight began with one of my favorite illustrations of poor human decision-making: an auction of a $100 with the following rules:
1. No speaking by anyone other than the auctioneer. All you're allowed to do is bid or sit quietly and wait.
2. The first bid must be exactly $5. All subsequent bids must be exactly $5 higher than the prior bid.
3. You can't bid twice in a row.
4. The highest bidder gets the $100 in exchange for his bid.
5. The second-highest bidder gets nothing but must still pay his bid.
There are about eighty people in the room. Would you bid? If so, where would you stop?
Most of us sat it out (myself included!) but quite a few people bid and new people jumped in at various times. Finally the inevitable happened...all but two people dropped out and they were trapped. If you've bid $90 and someone else bids $95 you have a very strong incentive to bid $100 because your net loss is currently $90 and if your $100 bid holds up you break even. The problem, of course, is that the person who bid $95 has the same incentive to bid $105 so you'll keep going until finally someone decides to cut their losses. In our class that happened at $130, but auctions of this kind can run into the thousands of dollars once people decide that they may be losing money but they're not going to lose the auction!
After dinner we were presented with the following exercise:
In an industry with two co-leaders (i.e. two leading companies of roughly equal size), a medium-sized company (we'll call it "Prize") announces that it's for sale. The following assumptions are given:
1. The value of Prize as an independent company is $1 billion, but due to synergy it's worth $1.2 billion to either of the co-leaders.
2. It's bad for either of the co-leaders if the other one acquires Prize because then they fall to #2. This would reduce their value by $0.5 billion.
You're the CEO of one of the co-leaders. What do you do?
Let's start with the math. Prize is worth $1.2 billion to you, but just like in the dollar auction the CEO of the other firm has an incentive to bid more than it's worth because there's a cost to losing the auction. If you have a bidding war the winner is likely to pay close to $1.7 billion, at which point each of the co-leaders has lost $500 million in value.
I'm embarassed to admit that although I saw the correct goal (don't bid but also convince the other co-leader not to bid) but wasn't able to think of a way to achieve the goal that wasn't illegal. Once either company bids the other one is forced in, so their best result is for neither to bid.
As it turns out, this hypothetical was based on a real situation -- the U.S. airline industry when USAir announced that it was for sale. American and United, the market leaders, were quickly identified as the likely buyers and Bob Crandall (who was in charge of American Airlines) recognized the danger of a bidding war. His solution? He sent a memo (a physical memo, not an email) to every single employee of his airline, down to the baggage handlers, explaining that American Airlines did not intend to bid for USAir but that if United did decide to bid for it, American would be forced to defend its position in the market.
As you can imagine, with that many memos printed one of them found its way to United Airlines. Neither airline bid for USAir.

Hi Chad,ReplyDelete
this is Rada.
I understand if you don't have time to explain this, but a lot of this stuff is very new to me and seemed cool so I looked up the things that were confusing; but I can't find what it means when something is worth more due to synergy.
Even if you just link me to some wiki page that'd be awesome.
Good stuff!
In this case, synergy means that if you merge two airlines you can eliminate duplicate functions (redundant sales operations, ticket counters, gates that aren't used all the time, etc.) and save money over operating the two airlines separately.ReplyDelete
The case study reminded me of a Paul Harvey, "...and now you know...the rest of the story."ReplyDelete

Boise's Leading "Buy Local" Marketing Platform Extends Its Reach With Release of DealChirp iPhone App(May 24, 2010)
BOISE, ID -- (Marketwire) -- 05/24/10 -- Boise's growing "buy local" movement just got another boost thanks to DealChirp and local technology provider Indiplex Media's free iPhone app, which places the latest deals and specials from independent, locally owned businesses at one's fingertips.
"The new DealChirp iPhone app enables consumers to find the latest deals from local businesses based on their geographic location," noted David Murray, co-owner of Boise-based DealChirp. "A user could be standing on a street corner downtown on a Thursday night and use the iPhone to find all relevant deals (like drink or dinner specials) within a geographic radius that's set by the user. We're particularly pleased that we were able to partner with Indiplex Media to take advantage of their Connexsus solution, which enables this type of geo-location."
The DealChirp iPhone application, which can be downloaded for free on the Apple iTunes App Store, features unique local offers that mobile users can view and filter in real time based on their interests, specific location, and shopping needs. "DealChirp and Indiplex Media's Connexsus mobile marketing platform are the perfect marriage of location-based technology and 'just-in-time' local deals for locally owned and operated businesses," noted Dion Eusepi, owner of Indiplex Media.
The iPhone app complements DealChirp's web site (www.dealchirp.com), Facebook page (www.facebook.com/DealChirp) and Twitter account (www.twitter.com/dealchirpboise). These various avenues give consumers the information they need, when and how they want it. For business owners, DealChirp offers an inexpensive way to broaden their reach using online, mobile, and social media technologies. Local businesses, which often don't have the time or expertise to take advantage of new technologies, can push out timely promotions to a targeted audience with ease.
DealChirp is partnered with Think Boise First, an organization dedicated to strengthening and connecting networks of locally owned, independent businesses. DealChirp will only accept business customers (advertisers) who meet the Think Boise First criteria of being locally owned and independently operated.
Indiplex Media (www.indiplex.com), an innovator in cross-platform, location-based marketing solutions for mobility devices, developed a customized version of Connexsus for DealChirp.
Businesses interested in using DealChirp to market their products and services can visit www.dealchirp.com or call 208.629.4842.

Oooh, I love it when I come across a brand that makes my heart skip a beat! And we all know that a brand which sells very pink things, tends to do that to me.
I first came across Mercy Delta in a boutique Guernsey in the summer, where I bought two silk blouses - one with pink hearts and one with pink flamingos on it. I love wearing them as they're just so cheery and they add that all important splash of colour to otherwise dark winter outfits, whilst in the summer they are great with denim shorts and pleated skirts.
Mercy Delta Stanford Stars Rose (£210)
Mercy Delta is a British brand which was founded by its owner, Katie, seven years ago now, with the blouses being launched six years ago. Katie designs all of the original prints herself, with each piece being hand-printed on 100% silk and being made by artisans in ethical factories in India.
Mercy Delta Stanford Unicorn
If you're someone who loves stars, hearts, flamingos, unicorns or animal prints, this could be a brand for you. It can be really hard to find prints that make your heart skip a beat but Katie's just seem to tap into something that makes me go "Ooooohhhhh!" And dare I say it but the older I get, the more I appreciate a silk blouse. I'm even able to wear mine in the winter - with suitable layers of course - and they seem so much warmer than cotton ones.
Parke metallic stars midnight Mercy Delta (£120)
And as well as loving the 100% silk, the ethical considerations are also assuming more of a significance for me too. I've recently worked with a few brands who promote their ethical status and it's definitely something which is an attractive part of their brand ethos.
As well as blouses, Katie designs scarves such as this gorgeous watermelon scarf (£55)....
And the longer styled tops, such as this python print tunic dress (£160), would be perfect on the beach, or over shorts or skinny cropped trousers in the summer.
And with this stars enchanted eye mask (Mercy Delta £22) there's no reason why you can't be super stylish, even when snoozing. Yes I like that because snoozing is good - very good!
For the sake of completeness and transparency, I came to work with Mercy Delta after I hunted them down on Instgram subsequent to finding their pieces in the Guernsey boutique. I couldn't believe that I hadn't found them before, especially given the "pinkness" of their prints! So we got chatting and they asked if I would like to receive a blouse as a gift, in return for featuring the blouse on Instagram and writing about them on here - which I was delighted to do as I genuinely love their pieces.

A model of managerial control and an instrument-The School Managerial Control Questionnaire was developed by Bogotch (1989). These were tested using a sample of elementary, middle, and high school teachers in the nation's fourth largest school district. A study by Williams (1990) used the same model and instrument with a sample of elementary school teachers from the same school district. This study used the same model and instrument to measure control processes exercised by principals in small, rural school districts in North Florida.
The model reflects two managerial behavior styles: Discretionary and ministerial; four managerial control processes: Standards, information, assessment, and incentives; and four selected tasks of curriculum and instruction: Teacher evaluation, staff development, curriculum development, and selection of texts and instructional materials. In addition to the dependent variables studied, five independent variables related to the demographical responses from the high school teachers were measured along the managerial behaviors, control processes and the selected curriculum and instructional tasks.
This study validated Bogotch's model and his instrument as they relate to rural high school principals.

It seems that husbands can be assholes sometimes. I mean, yes, yes they can.
Does this Sound Familiar?
You've been watching the kids all day, your husband comes home, barely throws you a kiss, gives the kids a giant hug, and proceeds to head to the refrigerator. He grabs a beer and sits down on the couch with the remote.
You're seething. And burning dinner, because you're also breaking up a fight between your children while simultaneously trying to clear out the dryer to get to the kitchen towels and find the oven mitt.
Yet your husband needs a break. He just got off of a long day at work. He needs to unwind. While you do all the work.
When he does do the dishes after dinner, he winks at you and flicks you with a towel. How are you going to thank him? Heh heh. He wants praise. He wants sex. He wants you to affirm that he just helped you immensely.
And all you can think about is how much you want to strangle him.
Sound familiar? My life used to be like this too.
The "Change"
Every marriage goes through a shitload of upheaval after having kids. You're both trying to grasp at straws, figuring out the new rules and the new roles. How do you get everything done now that a little person takes up 95% of your brain capacity?
So you both try really hard to do your best. At one point, you try harder than your husband. At one point, (perhaps unbeknownst to you), he tries harder than you. And you know what? At some point, it just evens out. At the end of a lifetime, you will both have tried just as hard, done just as much housework and experienced just as much guilt as the other.
Your husband isn't the babysitter. Many relationships go through a period during which your husband wants to be praised for "helping." And all you want him to do is be an equal partner. After all, it took both of you to make this baby. Both of you should experience the same amount of parenting, no?
And for whatever reason, during the season that is having a child under 5, you are going to experience a lot of resentment. A lot of unanswered telepathic requests. A lot of feelings of "look how much I do." You're probably going to feel like your husband is never on the same page as you. He just has different expectations. He thinks differently than you. You feel like he will never see things your way.
The Excuse
And that's what you tell yourself. That's what you tell your friends when you're venting about yet another day of what feels like marital upheaval.
"He just doesn't see my point of view."
Do you want to know the truth? That's an excuse that you tell yourself right now so that you can be pissed at him.
If you really believed that he didn't care about your point of view, didn't care how hard you worked, didn't want to see eye to eye with you, didn't want to meet your need of being in an equal partnership, then you wouldn't be together.
Seriously. If your husband is really such an incorrigible asshole, then why are you with him?
That's a tough question. Because there are many times when you ask yourself the same thing. But what is it that draws you back? What is it that keeps you committed? There's much more to a relationship than who does more laundry. And if you keep telling yourself that your husband just doesn't agree that you need some help with the housework or you need a break from the kids for more than an hour a week, you're going to stay in your stuck place in your marriage. You're going to keep feeling resentful, and you're going to keep feeling as though you're with a person who doesn't "get" you.
And if you're truly with a person who doesn't "get" you, your marriage will eventually fizzle out.
So if you don't want to get divorced, if you want your marriage to work, if you know deep down that this is the man you want to be with for the long haul, stop making excuses. Stop ending the conversation with "My husband just doesn't agree with my point of view about what a mother and wife's role should be." Because that is an excuse, and it's a conversation ender. And if it's true, if it's not just an excuse, it's a marriage ender.
And maybe this isn't the guy for you. Maybe you do feel stuck in a relationship that's going nowhere. The get me a beer, bitch mentality is definitely grounds for divorce in my relationships. But my husband knows that. So when I feel like things are unequal or I'm getting the short end of the stick, I don't relegate him into being the evil spouse on the couch demanding that I cook and clean for him.
The Fix for an Asshole Husband
Instead, I speak up. I let him know what my expectations are. I let him know what I'll do for him and what I'd like him to do for me.
Please know that this conversation doesn't fix things right away. For my husband and I, this conversation used to last for years. Sure, things would change a little bit at first, and then we'd slide back into our old ways. And instead of giving up and thinking that things would never change, I kept talking about what I wanted. I kept communicating with him about what he wanted.
Because I want to be in a relationship where both parties are equally respected and respectful of each other. I want to be with someone who really cares about my happiness. And I always knew that I was.
Trust me, if I ever had the inkling that my husband didn't give a shit about my happiness or wellbeing–if I really, truly felt like that, my inner warrior woman would've sent him out the door.
You see, that is a deal breaker in any marriage. If your husband truly doesn't agree that you should be happy, that the two of you should communicate so that you can respect each other's greatest dreams and smallest desires, then he is not the man for you. I hate to say that, and I know that there will be some of you reading this right now whose warrior woman knows, deep down, that this is true for you.
But if you know that he is the one you're going to stay with, then don't relegate him to the ranks of the true asshole. Because although he may act like an asshole sometimes, why would you be married to him if he was a true, actual asshole?

Get Your Roof Repaired As Soon As Possible
One concept that goes through every homeowner's mind is the idea about either roof remodeling or roof repair. While both concepts are important, the idea that you might have to fix a leaky roof can be frightening for some people.
It is critical to consider the disadvantages of waiting to fix a potentially hazardous roof leaking problem. As a roof leak begins, there isn't much damage or reason to worry. Most homeowners actually are not aware of pro roof leaking problems when they first start. The rain is usually light and takes time to accumulate. By the time the rain damage accumulates, homeowners get that familiar bubble on their ceiling or roof indicating the problem is much more serious. At that point, mold and wood rot starts to set in. It is our goal that homeowners never reach that critical level of problems.
The Right People For The Right Job
For this reason it is important to find the right Marietta Roof Leaks expert to help you. Typically finding someone with sufficient knowledge and tools required to fix a leaking roof are difficult. In our listing pages we have gone through all the hassle and hard work for you to find the best Marietta Roof Leak Contractors in your area, located in or around Marietta, GA

Yesterday, I participated in my very first-ever Friday Night Magic tournament. I got there not long after 5 pm and the room was already comfortably full of people who had already paid their tournament fees and were playing against each other for fun. The ages ranged from "middle-school kid" to "first-generation, first-edition player" (although I would find out later that he was the father of the store manager and only started playing recently).
While signing up, I talked to the store manager about the changes I'd made to my Standard-format deck in the face finding out that four entire sets of cards would no longer be legal to play with after the end of September. He reviewed my deck and thought that it still seemed decent enough to play with; I was rather pleased with this because it was really tough finding equivalents to the outgoing cards using only the cards I'd previously bought and not buying any additional single cards.
After getting my DCI card and buying some accessories for the deck I wanted to create for my husband (a box of sleeves, a spin-down die, and some boosters from Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash, and Dragon's Maze), I milled around and finally sat down in front of two players who weren't in the middle of a game or looking at trade binders. We introduced ourselves, and after telling them my "How I got into Magic" story, I asked them for some pointers. They were both very nice and kind to me; this is a descriptor I'll be using to speak of every person I met and/or played against that evening.
The first pairings were called and I was matched up against a guy who looked to be my age. As we were setting up, I gave the speech I'd end up giving to every opponent I faced:
"Just to let you know, I'm playing Magic for the first time against other people and this is also my first tournament. I don't have a sideboard, and I'm going to be reading every card because I don't know what they all do. Is this okay with you?"
My opponent was great and though he beat me twice in a row, he let me read his cards and explained what they did and sometimes why he chose them, explained why I couldn't play other cards at certain points, gave me tips on how to better use my Instants, and played a third game against me as there was still time on the round clock. (I think I lost that game, too.) The players seated to our right had finished sooner than we did, and as we played on, they also joined in on our conversation and spoke about how they started playing Magic and how much fun the booster draft afterwards would be.
The next rounds went by rather quickly with me losing more games than winning them. The more I played with my deck, the more I got a feel for the cards and which ones I liked seeing over and over again. I also learned some very valuable lessons in choosing when to take a mulligan, learning very late that even a 5-card starting hand can be a good start to a game if it's the right five cards. Plays I was very satisfied with included me being able to use a Solemn Offering to destroy an artifact that was really giving me trouble in one game and playing out my foil Jace's Mindseeker to use one of the discarded cards to destroy an opposing creature that had just gotten too big in another. I was also able to kill a planeswalker at least once; however, I also recall at one point my opponent and I didn't have any cards in our hands, we were both low on life, and he top-decked a card which was just enough to finish me off. That's just how the cards go, I guess.
The Top 8 match-ups were announced, and I entered the line to receive my prizes for participating; I chose a pack of Dragon's Maze and a pack of Gatecrash. In addition, I rolled a high enough score on the d100 to be the recipient of the promotional Dimir Charm. (Now I have to build a Dimir deck around it!) After calling my husband to update him on my progress, I also let him know that I was going to be participating in the draft later that night. I blame one of the other players who between rounds told me that drafts were more fun and easier for newbies than a tournament because it put veteran players on an even playing field with newbies due to the random nature of the draft format. Between rounds, I also made it a point to speak to the only other woman who'd entered into the tournament and ask if she'd be interested in being a founding member of the Lady Planeswalker Society chapter that I wanted to start. She was very excited and we exchanged email addresses and phone numbers.
I left to grab and eat dinner, and when I returned it was time for the Return to Ravnica block draft. Six of us stayed to play, including the guy who'd convinced me to try it, both of the players I met before the tournament started, and my third-round opponent. The manager went over the rules quickly, and asked, "Are there any more questions?
"Sure," I said, raising my hand. "Could you please go over that again, a bit more slowly?"
Everyone laughed, and the manager carefully re-explained these following rules:
- Each player was given three packs in front of them and for this draft, the packs would be opened in this order: Dragon's Maze, Gatecrash, Return to Ravnica.
- Once everyone had their first pack in their hand, they could then open them, taking out the promo/ad card and the basic land (except for the Dragon's Maze packs, which didn't have a basic land).
- Each person would choose a card from the pack that they'd opened, and place it face-down in front of them. Then you would pass the rest of the cards to the other player. The rest of your cards you would continue to choose until you were passed the very last card in the pack that was opened. You could not look at the previous cards you'd chosen in your face-down pile until after you were passed the very last card in that pack. During the first cycle, you would pass the remainder of the pack to the person seated to your left; on the second cycle, you would pass to the right; the last cycle, you would pass to the left again.
- No more than one pack of remaining cards could be sitting between you and the player next to you.
- Once everyone had received the last card, you could look through the cards you'd chosen from that pack. When you were done reviewing your choices, you could then pick up the next pack in the order and hold it up in the air front of you.
- When all players had their next pack up in the air in front of them, everyone could then start drafting the next pack.
- Once all the packs had been opened, you could then start building a 40-card deck. Basic lands were available for borrowing from the store, but if you had your own additional land, you could use that too.
Before the draft started, I decided that I was going to draft a deck which was in different colors from the deck I'd used for the tournament. This would also be the deck that I would eventually give to my husband to teach him how to play. Thanks to a skit from the folks at Loading Ready Run, I knew that I should be looking for BREAD cards, but it took some more research on the Internet prior to the draft to inform me on exactly what that meant.
However, most if not all of that advice flew out of my head when faced with my first actual pack. I decided to pick just all-creatures at first, paying attention to cards which had neat secondary effects that didn't require additional mana to use. I didn't think about how much mana using the cards would cost, and as much as I wanted to start adding cards which helped me get more of the right mana (aka mana-fixing), I told myself to hold off until the next pack at least. After reviewing my choices from the first pack, I decided to focus on Enchantments, Sorceries, and Instants, and picking creatures with low mana costs that would be easier to play during the second pack's cycle. I think I also picked up my first mana-fixers, paying attention to Guildgates as I'd picked up the Ubul Sar Gatekeepers and wanted to be able to use its secondary ability which required at least two gates to use. The last pack I reserved for trying to pick up some Bears (creatures which only cost 2 mana to cast, have a power of 2, and a toughness of 2) and more cards that would be easy to cast as I still didn't trust my ability to decide when to take a mulligan.
After attempting to winnow down my cards to a reasonable 40-card deck with a decent mana curve (that is, where I'd be able to play out a creature or spell within at least the first three of my turns), I went back to the manager to ask his opinion on how to decide how much land I should add. He went through my cards and made some suggestions, but also pointed out to me that he was only doing so during this draft as I'd never played in one before. (Since then, I read an article online which stated you should have anywhere from 13 to 17 creatures in your deck, so I may go with that from now on.)
As luck would have it, the very first person I played against in the draft was the person who convinced me to stay for it. He beat me twice in a row, but I had so much fun playing him that it didn't matter. I did replace some cards with ones from my sideboard (aka extra cards you draft that you don't choose for deck) in response to some of his trickier cards, and I think that helped me stay alive for a little longer. For the second match, I went up against someone whose deck seemed to be as slow as mine. We each won a game, and then we took so long to play that we went over time for the third game, which ended up in a draw.
For the last match, I faced again my previous third-round opponent. He used the Cipher keyword ability to great effect in copying creatures, but I was able to render them ineffective by casting Thrill-Kill Assassin and some other removal spells. I also negated his Nivix Cyclops' secondary ability by casting Guildscorn Ward on my creatures, especially the ones which had lifelink. Alms Beast also came out to play a lot, but since I never really understood how it worked, I didn't use it to attack a lot.
After he won the first game and I won the second, we were the last people playing in the draft tournament. I had two creatures with lifelink attacking almost every turn, one of them being Blood Baron of Vizkopa, a mythic rare card which everyone had complimented me on pulling. At one point, I had 25 life points to his 1, and I think he may have had a few cards in his hand. Earlier in that game, I played out Hellhole Flailer, but didn't trigger the Unleash keyword ability. After he played out another card but hadn't completely tapped out yet, I cast its secondary ability, targeting him directly, and winning me my very first match.
By this time it was almost 3 am. This means that I spent the last nine hours playing Magic and only won one match. However, I think the things I learned about my play-style and the kindness of the people I met while playing will keep me continuing to play at in-store events and learning more about the game.
