Sunday: 31Mar13--90/275
Let's celebrate Easter
with the rite
of laughter.
Christ died and rose
and lives.
Laugh like a woman
who holds her first baby.
Our enemy death
will soon be destroyed.
Laugh like a man
who finds he doesn't have cancer
or he does but now there's a cure.
Christ opened wide
the door of heaven.
Laugh like children
at Disneyland's gates.
This world is owned by God
and He'll return to rule.
Laugh like a man
who walks away uninjured
from a wreck
in which his car was totaled.
as if all the people in the whole world
were invited to a picnic
and then invite them.
A Psalm for Easter
by Joseph Bayly
from Psalms of My Life

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Brett Mooneyham allowed two hits and struck out eight in six innings, and the Hagerstown Suns battered Lexington reliever Zeb Sneed for six runs in the seventh and eighth innings to pull away for an 8-2 victory over the Legends in a South Atlantic League game on Sunday afternoon.
Mooneyham (9-3) walked just one while shutting down the Legends. His ERA is now 2.09.
The Suns (68-49, 30-20) took a 2-0 lead against Lexington starter Matthew Murray in the fourth inning. Narciso Mesa led off and reached base on on a strike-three wild pitch. He took second on a groundout and scored on Estarlin Martinez's single to center. Martinez stole second and scored on Khayyan Norfork's two-out single to center.
It remained that way until Hagerstown feasted on Sneed with two three-run innings in the seventh and eighth.
In the seventh, Norfork led off with a walk and Will Piwnica-Worms followed with a home run to right for a 4-0 lead. Stephen Perez walked, stole second, went to third on a groundout and scored on Mesa's two-out single to left to make it 5-0.
In the eighth, Martinez led off with a double to right and took third on Wander Ramos' single to right. Norfork followed with a two-run triple to center for a 7-0 lead. Norfork scored on Perez's groundout to second to make it 8-0.
Lexington (63-55, 30-20) avoided the shutout in the ninth on Mark Donato's two-run homer to right off Suns reliever Justin Thomas.

Shameless use of my blog, but also alrtuistic. We've (we being the collective mad genius/ oddballness/ general awesomeness that is ZoomInfo) just launched Zipi. It's cool – it's really cool, actually. The idea was to provide quick and easy access to our database of professionals (which means 15 million additional email contacts – just a little tick up from your contact list). Doesn't take over your personal address book, just provides you a way to search our database from your send line, or through a search bar in your in-box.
So easy, even this guy could use it…
Want to expand your contact list exponentially? How about having access to millions of professionals, many of them decision makers (ie, hiring managers)? Annnnd… want it to be easy, intuitive, and free? Too bad, that'll cost – wait, no, it actually is free. And easy. Did I mention free? So: if you use Outlook, get Zipi. All it does is give you more access. Access to people you can work with and for, sell and market to, and generally chat up.
Here's the link to the beta – http://www.zoominfo.com/Zipi

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required EPA to cut toxic air pollution from iron and steel plant coke ovens. Coke ovens produce the material used in blast furnaces to convert iron ore to iron. Coke oven air emissions were already regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and states, and by EPA under the hazardous substance notification requirements of Superfund. The issue of how best to reduce coke oven emissions was contentious and had been deadlocked for 20 years. To break this logjam, EPA initiated a negotiated rulemaking process with extensive stakeholder involvement. Over two years, the Agency met with representatives of industry and industry associations, labor unions, states, and environmental groups in workshops and informal and formal meetings. Negotiators worked with stakeholders to develop a regulation that all parties could support. By making concessions in one area in exchange for others in other areas, the parties resolved such major issues as what emissions data would be used, monitoring methods, numerical emission limits, costs and economics, and work practices. They also identified and discussed emission sources, enforcement and implementation needs, future research, and integrating system. The process successfully involved stakeholders in making decisions that had dragged out for decades. The resulting regulation reduces hazardous air pollution by 1,500 tons per year.

On Wednesday Hong Kong people and the rest of the world closely monitored the edge-of-the-seat race for the White House between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
When it became clear that America chose the billionaire businessman for its next president, many could not believe the result.
All along, in the run-up to election day, polls were predicting a Clinton victory while media bombarded the public with reports on Trump's latest scandal and outrageous remarks.
So the question that lingered in the minds of most people was, why would Americans choose a "dangerous" and "highly unqualified" person to be their leader?
But as sure as the morning followed the dark night, disbelief turned into acceptance, no matter how begrudgingly, and fear transformed into hope that everything would turn out well.
However, there were also anti-Trump protests in cities across the United States.
Clinton led the effort at national unity by picking up the phone and congratulating her rival on his victory, an act which was followed by outgoing US President Barack Obama.
In his victory speech, Trump praised his rival and called for reconciliation and unity after one of the most bitter and divisive elections in US history.
Wall Street reflected this upbeat mood by recovering from overnight losses and ending with huge gains on Wednesday.
For Hong Kong people, the US election displayed once again the merits of democracy, of letting the people decide their destiny.
The election result may not be to their liking, it may have reflected the American people's frustrations, and even anger at the establishment, but it also showed that the will of the people reigns supreme – at least as far as choosing their own leader is concerned.
In a way, Trump's victory runs parallel to the rise of localism in Hong Kong.
Many ordinary Americans did not like their government's adherence to globalization, which they blame for the loss of their jobs, the sluggish growth of their economy, and the ever-present threat of terrorism.
Many Hong Kong people could identify with those sentiments as they themselves have to contend with the impact of the floods of migrants, tourists and parallel traders from the mainland.
But they believe that the main problem is that Hong Kong remains under Beijing's control and, unlike the US, is not a sovereign state.
Hong Kong people don't enjoy the right to choose their own leader, which the Americans exercise every four years.
And as if that were not enough, Beijing had to interfere every so often in the local political system, despite its assurances that Hong Kong will continue to enjoy its autonomy.
In the latest case, the National People's Congress Standing Committee issued an interpretation of the Basic Law as it pertains to the oath-taking controversy at the Legislative Council.
Beijing's move, aimed at blocking independence-leaning legislators from assuming office, was highly irregular because Hong Kong did not ask for it to intervene.
And to further tighten its grip on Hong Hong, Beijing, in its interpretation of the law, even introduced new criteria in determining whether an official's oath-taking is valid or not.
These criteria, such as sincerity, loyalty and respect, are highly subjective, and therefore would depend on the discretion of the person determining the validity of the oath-taking.
Beijing's intention, of course, is to close the doors of the government to those who advocate self-determination or independence.
The Youngspiration duo whose oath-taking was invalidated were duly elected by their respective constituents.
But unlike in America, Hong Kong people cannot decide on who should be their representatives in government.
Beijing does not believe in liberal democracy. It insists that not eveyone has the right to vote or be elected into office.
On Wednesday morning, while the votes in the US presidential election were still being counted, the Chinese state-owned Xinhua News Agency published a story criticizing US democracy.
It said the US election is the embodiment of the crisis of democracy in America, which serves as a stark contrast to China's stability under the Communist Party.
Xinhua said the US presidential election showed that "the majority of Americans were rebelling against the US political class and financial elites".
In a similar vein, the People's Daily, the Communist Party's mouthpiece, said in a commentary that the presidential election revealed a "sick democracy".
On Tuesday, the Chinese state broadcaster CCTV ran man-on-the-street interviews with unnamed American voters who expressed their frustration with the American political system and dissatisfaction with both candidates.
From the perspective of Beijing's top leaders, western-style democracy could threaten the Communist Party's rule in China.
That is why Beijing refused to heed Hong Kong people's call for genuine universal suffrage, the right to select their chief executive, and this led to massive protests two years ago.
In the Legislative Council election in September, pan-democrats, including localists, garnered 30 seats, which was higher than Beijing had expected.
But Beijing could not accept that those advocating for self-determination or separation from the central government would be part of Hong Kong's political system.
So in order to ease them out, they invoked the Basic Law and accused them of violating its provisions.
Beijing wants to make it appear that Hong Kong people are allowed to choose their leaders but only to the extent that it approves of their choices. Is that Beijing's brand of democracy?
On the US presidential election, Our Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying issued a statement on Tuesday night congratulating Trump on his victory.
Leung said: "Hong Kong and the US enjoy close economic and trade ties … Being China's international financial and trade center, Hong Kong has a unique role to play in the continued opening up and reform of the mainland China market.
"The free market policy and the sound legal system of Hong Kong provide a solid foundation for the US enterprises to explore new opportunities in the markets of the mainland and the Asia-Pacific."
That's strange. Why would CY Leung send a congratulatory letter to the US president-elect as if he were a national leader?
In fact, he could not even boast of Hong Kong's "sound legal system" because the city's vaunted adherence to the rule of law is no longer safe in a situation where Beijing can interpret the Basic Law, Hong Kong's constitution, whenever it feels like doing so and bypass the city's judicial system.
In fact, while Beijing is criticizing America's brand of liberal democracy, CY Leung is reaching out to the US president-elect and congratulating him.
So would Beijing now condemn CY Leung for acting independently as if he represents a sovereign state? Would he not be chastised for independence advocacy?– Contact us at [email protected]

Writing 101- Write about a treasured possession
I got a bit depressed when contemplating my options for "the most treasured possession". I realised that I don't own much, most of it would fit in the back of a van and has done on several occasions.
In over half a century you'd think I would have accumulated a lot of precious stuff, but I've never really grown attached to things,although I do get attached to people. So not a material thing then, I had to think of something else. My family and friends are the things dearest to my heart but I wouldn't class them as possessions, I don't own them or control them (fat chance!) but I do treasure them. I try to keep them safe and nurture them as best I can. I have a few mementos: the teapot with the broken handle from my mother's china cabinet, an Arran cardigan that my grandmother knitted for me when we visited her in Ireland when I was twelve and my late son's paintings which remind me that the line between genius and insanity is very fine…. but nothing that needs to be hidden away or stored in the bank.
Then, while watching the news (an excuse to stop writing a difficult piece, you writers know how it works!) I was appalled by what was going on in the world and remembered my Mother's advice,usually given when one was feeling sorry for one's self "Count your blessings!" so I did.
1.Most of my family live close to me and I see them often. We don't live in a war zone and are not in any great danger.Three of my children are alive and well (from my lips to God's Ear)
2. All of us have a roof over our heads, we are not refugees or displaced persons.
33 When I opened the fridge to get breakfast,there was food there.
4. I don't have to walk three miles , twice a day, to fetch water that's not fit to drink.
5.I can walk ,under my own steam, as far as I need to.
6.I can still work to make a living.
7. I didn't have to pay for my cancer treatment (well apart from taxes and NHS contributions)
8. My husband is still here after thirty five years of putting up with me.
9. I've learned to live with myself.
10. Still watching the news, beware this is shocking – that my family did not practice FGM and remove my clitoris when I was a girl!
Perhaps I do have a treasured possession!
In my opinion FGM is an appalling practice which causes suffering and violates basic Human Rights. It is wrong for so many reasons.
"Between 100 million and 140 million women and girls are thought to be living with the consequences of female genital mutilation, according to the World Health Organisation.
FGM is defined by the WHO as "all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons". It is recognised as a violation of the human rights of women and girls. In December 2012, the United Nations general assembly unanimously voted to work for the elimination of FGM throughout the world.
"It reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes, and constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against women," says the WHO. "It is nearly always carried out on minors and is a violation of the rights of children. The practice also violates a person's rights to health, security and physical integrity, the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and the right to life when the procedure results in death."

If I had known this earlier . .
I am on a fact finding mission. Can you help?
What do you wish you had known earlier in pen turning?
or in different words:
Knowing what you know now - IF you could go back and start over in pen turning - what would you skip, change or do differently?
answers for instance:
- I wish I had known about the difference in an MT 1 and an MT 2 lathe.
- I wish I had known the advantages of VS
- I wish I had known this was going to cost so much!
- I wish I had started with a DC system or learned to use a mask from the beginning.
What can you contribute to this post that could possible help someone else in the future?

I had no tools what so ever when I started turning pens. nada. I went out and bought a band saw, drill press and lathe. The bandsaw and drill press are ryobi from Home Depot. I still use the bandsaw but it can't cut straight. The drill press broke and I do all my drilling on my lathe now.
If I know what I know now I would have;
1. Skipped the drillpress and bought the stuff to drill on the lathe.
2. Got a good table saw instead of the bandsaw. With what I paid for the drillpress and the bandsaw I could have gotten a pretty nice table saw.
None of that applies to you guys that are already wood nuts and have tools. One thing I would warn the new people about is the cost associated with gearing up to produce pens if you start from scratch. I have spent at least $5,000 on tools and such, blanks and kits. I had no drill bits now I have at least 30.
I have even more but I will leave it at that for now.
Good luck on collecting info.

My first thought was your first example. Bought an MT1 mini lathe and wish I had known the difference. And #3...if I had known what it was going to cost I probably would have never started! Some things are better learned later!
Wish I really had understood how much difference SHARP tools make.

Don`t think that I would change very much . One of the things that I did from the beginning was to save my mistakes . With time , practice and knowledge gained from this forum , most of those have been reclaimed into satisfactory pens . I don`t want the pile to ever get to zero , because I want to continually push the envelope of what I can create . That , and the remote chance of someday making a profit , keeps me turning round .

I guess I started back wards. I had all of my tools and had been woodworking for almost 30 plus years before I even heard of people making pens. All I had to do was buy some kits and a mandrel. Costs still add up when adding in machine wear and tear and other little expenses that are incurred especially as a hobby.

use the lathe. extra parts don't make everything better. drilling on lathe and turning between centers make everything more accurate (for me anyway!!!).

Hmmm well since this weekend I had my first "lesson" in turning, the information I have gathered so far is this:
MT#2 all the way, you are way too limited with MT#1 and most people soon realize that they may want to try things that will require them to buy a new lathe.
From seeing the difference between VS and not I dont really think there is a big difference. Let me explain a bit, I dont mind having to move the belt and while the dial is a huge convenience and saves time its a saving to get started. What I never saw anywhere on the forum either was that even on a VS system you have to change the belt for different speed ranges as well so its almost a wash. If I have the money Ill go VS but I may want to use that extra $100 on a grinder which I would argue is more important so you always have sharp tools.
Im going to buy cheap blanks in bulk from eBay until I get the feel for using the tools. Actually turning a pen is much different from watching videos, there is a lot more finesse involved that will come with a lot of practice. Knowing angles for cutting, learning different cuts, learning how to use a skew properly and knowing when to sharpen and how to sharpen. I think I may burn through about 50 or so blanks just figuring it out before I use any good materials for a pen.
Thinking outside the box. Seeing how someone actually works is invaluable, Jason had a lot of tricks that I didnt think of and havent seen anyone else do. Things like turning his own custom MT#2 clamps and jigs to use on specific things, using simple tools to do things that people are buying $50 custom tools to do, little things like where to get cheap glue, etc.
Thats what I have so far, Im sure there will be more specifically after I go buy my lathe...sooner than later I hope.

Not too many things turned out to be a surprise for me as I spent several months on this forum and reading books before I vere turned a blank.
One thing I missed was the need for a 60° live center; but I figured that out pretty quick. The thing that took a while to figure out is that all of the relatively small chisels and gouges sold for pen crafting never get out of their box any more now that I have purchased full sized tools.
Also wish I had invested in a digital caliper the same day I purchased my lathe. I had an old vernier caliper; but it is hard to read, quickly, so I didn't get it out very often. A digital caliper or a dial caliper will greatly improve the quality of your work!!

i would have bought a Jet instead of a turncrafter pro, i would have superglued the walnut burl blank when i got closer to the tube, i would have CA'd the ends of the blank with thin ca before i started turning it, i would have come to this site first, i would have gotten professional help using a skew and saved a few practice blanks, i wouldn't have tried to turn alloy silver with a wood lathe (i finally got this one almost finished), i would have rearranged my shop AFTER i finish my canoe so i can find the lathe, drill press, pen press, my blanks and kits, etc.....
i would have thanked all the people here in advance for sharing their knowledge so willingly and for their friendship. it's never to late......THANKS FRIENDS!!!!! ...bear

I'll echo two thoughts already stated, 60 degree centers and turning between centers with johnnycnc's bushings. That and how much difference a nice tool rest made.

Wedding Anniversary
August 9, 2010 by Deborah Calla
Filed under Blog
I have never been too keen on dates but August is a difficult month for me. August 15th marks two years of my husband' passing. August 26th is my forth wedding anniversary but the groom won't be present.
Without me realizing the weight of these two dates have sneaked up on me and I grief for the man who used to walk around the Silver Lake reservoir singing with me theme songs I had authored for our dog.
I grief for the man who danced around the house with me and with whom I laughed till we were on the floor unable to speak. And I grief for the man who thought I was special and who had so much desire to live.
Much has happened and much has changed but the memories of those days remain fresh and alive.
I stopped asking why a long time ago. I dealt with his loss the same way I dealt with his illness; head on.
I had learned then the best way to deal with challenge is by releasing any control and embracing that which presents itself to us.
Loss hurts deeply but we must go on and we do go on. And we find a new way to bathe in the sun, to laugh, to kiss and to look forward to the future; whatever that is.
To all out who are hurting, I send my love, understanding and my wish for courage.

In May, Bombardier conducted low-speed testing at NIAR for the Learjet 85 aircraft with an 11% model.
Designed to provide a larger cabin than any existing midsize bizjet, the Learjet 85 will offer eight passengers a stand-up cabin. Powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307B engines, the clean-sheet Learjet 85 targets a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.82 and a transcontinental range of up to 3,000 nautical miles.
The Beech Wind Tunnel is a state-of-the-art low speed wind tunnel with a 7x10x12 foot test section capable of reaching speeds of up to 240 mph. The tunnel is equipped with a high-performance under-floor external balance, internal balances, real-time data acquisition software, an active heat exchanger, sting mount and flow visualization options.

I love these salmon patties. It is a snack that I make all the time at our home. First, it can be prepared ahead of time. And since they are in the shape of patties it's great to use as packed lunch or for picnic (They actually taste pretty good even at room temperature). I even serve them as appetiser at dinner parties. It contains good protein from the fish and lots of vegetables inside the salmon cake. If your kid does not like vegetables (like mine), this is a life saver dish to make them enjoy their vegetables without fussing. The potatoes inside is a good carb source. Instead of salmon, you can use other kind of white fish like halibut of sole, or even ground chicken or beef. It lasts for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
Salmon Cakes
(makes eight to twelve 4cm salmon cakes)
- 1 salmon fillet
- 1/4 cup finely chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- Finely chopped bell peppers
- 1 small size potato
- 1 egg (optional)
- Breadcrumbs (optional)
- Seasoning
- Black pepper
- Your favorite spices (optional) – you can use fresh diced herbs or dried herbs. Dill and parsley always work nicely with the salmon.
- Steam salmon fillet and then flake the meat.
- Steam a small size potato and slightly mash it.
- In a large bowl, mix the salmon and chopped vegetables. Add the potato mash to help the patties stick together better. Adding a whole egg or just the egg white will also help the patties form. Mix everything. Add a little bit of the water if the mixture gets too dry.
- Make into patties. If you want them a bit crunchy you can add some of breadcrumbs if your carb allowance isn't a worry.
Bake the patties in the oven for 20 minutes or pan fry them (no oil needed).
These little patties are my #1training snack after hard boiled eggs. They are filled with all your nutritional needs -protein, vegetables, carbs and good fat. I like to make a cucumber yogurt dip to go with it and there is your dairy intake too!

It was one of those things where not only did I feel like I could lie down wherever I stood and fall right asleep, but my brain just wasn't working right. It felt like a big barrier had been erected in the middle of my brain, and if my thoughts originate at the back (we're playing it fast and loose with brain physiology tonight, okay?), they had to get over this barrier to reach the front, where they were accessible and communicable. But it was one of those army obstacle course-type barriers that you have to jump and climb and wriggle your way over, so all my thoughts had to do that.
So during one of my few hours at work when a patron would ask a perfectly reasonable question like, "What's the newest James Patterson?" I would stare blankly for a no doubt alarming length of time while the biggest part of my brain asked itself, Who's James Patterson? and the answer struggled over the barrier toward the front part of my brain pan, all while that jerk spectating part of the brain sat there watching the whole spectacle with popcorn, chortling, "'Who's James Patterson?' LOL."
Oh, and I looked terrific all through this. Reeeaaally smashing.
|Like this, except about a million times less adorable.
I know I was in good company, as there were a whole mess of people not feeling so great over the past week and a half.
But! I am now on an antibiotic and already feeling so much better. My cough is still present-it just chased Derek away from an NFL game and right up the stairs, as a matter of fact, so now I'm struggling not to let the power go to my head.
And cheer up, my fellow Americans, both coughers and non-coughers alike, for we have pie to look forward to this week!
Or, you know, don't cheer up, if you're not ready yet. I support you and your feelings. *says this while petting your head in a distinctly non-creepy way*

This Food Swap Could Lower Your Cholesterol
Substituting just one or two servings of plant protein for animal protein every day could help lower your cholesterol and cut your heart disease risk, suggests a study conducted by researchers at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Animal proteins include meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products, and plant protein sources include nuts, tofu, soybeans, peanuts, and other legumes. According to the researchers, combining plant proteins with other cholesterol-lowering foods like whole-grains may provide even more heart-health benefits.
The Toronto researchers performed a meta-analysis of 112 randomized control trials in which participants substituted plant proteins for some animal proteins for at least three weeks. They discovered these substitutions could lower three main markers of high cholesterol – low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), non-high density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol, and total cholesterol – by about 5 percent.

Standard is in an amazing place right now.
With a wide range of decks being represented and a trophy being handed to a different deck each week, it's hard not to find something to love. Does this wide variety of decks and ever-shifting "best" deck mean that the format is unsolved? I don't think so.
Instead, Standard is just in a place right now that rewards people for correctly choosing what to beat. Don't believe me?
Creatures (24)
- 4 Bristling Hydra
- 3 Glorybringer
- 4 Longtusk Cub
- 4 Rogue Refiner
- 4 Servant of the Conduit
- 4 Whirler Virtuoso
- 1 Rhonas the Indomitable
Lands (22)
Spells (14)
Three people made the elimination rounds of Grand Prix Denver last weekend with this exact 75, with the most recent Standard Grand Prix sporting zero copies of the archetype in the Top 8.
What is the secret to this? It's just good deckbuilding.
Good Deckbuilding, Bad Deckbuilding
When people talk about good deckbuilding, they're referring to card selections that complement one another when together in a deck.
Sometimes this means something as blatant as including Rogue Refiner and Longtusk Cub in the same deck. They're both serviceable cards in their own right, but they play better together than they do separately.
Other times, good deckbuilding can simply refer to cards working towards a common goal that may not necessarily work together so obviously, yet also go out of their way not to step on each other's toes.
Why is it that, despite being great at getting people dead, Chandra, Flamecaller doesn't find her way into the Ramunap Red lists in Standard?
Creatures (23)
- 4 Bomat Courier
- 4 Ahn-Crop Crasher
- 4 Earthshaker Khenra
- 4 Falkenrath Gorger
- 2 Soul-Scar Mage
- 3 Hazoret the Fervent
- 2 Kari Zev, Skyship Raider
Planeswalkers (2)
Lands (24)
Spells (11)
First, the curve of the deck itself tends to be lower to the ground and rewards players for having aggressive draws. Secondly, one of the primary focuses of the deck (Ranumap Ruins) incentivizes players to reduce the number of lands they have on the battlefield. Both of these factors discourage players from choosing to register Chandra, Flamecaller in the maindeck or sideboard of their Ramunap Red lists.
Even after recognizing what good deckbuilding is, that isn't always going to narrow down how one should build their deck. What it does, however, is narrow down what cards should be played with one another and when it may even be correct to scrap an idea entirely.
Deck Types
When building fair decks in the context of Standard, decks are generally going to fall under the rubrics of "good card" decks, committed decks, and synergy decks.
"Good card" decks tend to be piles of cards that are good in their own right, without help from any other factors. These are your typical midrange decks that look like a pile of mythic rares, plus some other cards that are sprinkled in for the sake of keeping the pilot alive while the mythic rares take over. G/W Tokens from about a year ago is one of the more extreme examples:
Creatures (14)
Planeswalkers (8)
Lands (25)
Spells (13)
Midrange decks are defined by their ability to play both the controlling and aggro roles (a la Who's the Beatdown) depending on the matchup at hand. This brings us around to the next classification of decks: committed decks.
Committed decks are categorized by their being predominately on one end of the aggro-control spectrum. Aggressive strategies are committed to being the beatdown, and control decks are committed to being the control deck. It's relatively intuitive when phrased as such.
Synergy decks are the final category of deck, and a wider range of decks fall under this umbrella than the previous groupings. Synergy decks encompass combo decks as well as variations of the aforementioned "good card" decks and committed decks.
For a look at a synergy-based deck that relies pretty heavily on its synergies, we can look at the God-Pharaoh's Gift decks that have been popping up in the last few weeks:
Creatures (25)
- 2 Cataclysmic Gearhulk
- 4 Walking Ballista
- 3 Angel of Invention
- 4 Champion of Wits
- 4 Glint-Nest Crane
- 4 Minister of Inquiries
- 4 Thraben Inspector
Lands (25)
Spells (10)
Refurbish? Gate to the Afterlife? Minister of Inquiries? A lot of these cards stink!
These cards stink in a vacuum, but not in what the deck is trying to do. Gate to the Afterlife is a fantastic Magic card if the entire purpose of the deck is putting a God-Pharaoh's Gift onto the battlefield. Minister of Inquiries and Refurbish are fantastic if filling the graveyard is the primary goal of the deck.
Synergy decks tend to look very similar to this because they operate under the assumption that whatever they are doing will overpower the ways that other people are winning. If a completely fair deck doesn't interact with a synergy deck, the synergy deck will generally overpower whatever the fair deck is doing.
God-Pharaoh's Gift is the epitome of this theory in Standard. Sure, Minister of Inquiries might be an embarrassing Magic card in most contexts, but in this deck, it enables an early copy of the deck's namesake. The endless stream of buffed and free creatures that God-Pharaoh's Gift provides will in turn overpower whatever "normal" Magic the opposition is playing.
Brad's Temur deck from the Grand Prix last weekend is an example of a synergy deck that can play like a "good card" deck. To bring the decklist a bit closer on the page:
Creatures (24)
- 4 Bristling Hydra
- 3 Glorybringer
- 4 Longtusk Cub
- 4 Rogue Refiner
- 4 Servant of the Conduit
- 4 Whirler Virtuoso
- 1 Rhonas the Indomitable
Lands (22)
Spells (14)
All of these cards have the ability to stand on their own, like in a "good card" deck. The difference is that their power level increases drastically relative to the number of energy-matters cards that one draws.
To use Aether Hub as the most basic example, it's being played in this deck as a near-limitless supply of mana fixing, not as a pseudo-Tendo Ice Bridge. The rest of the cards in the deck fall into the same space. Whirler Virtuoso isn't in the deck because it does a Catacomb Sifter impression. It's in the deck because Bristling Hydra and Longtusk Cub can give the artificer more activations in situations where it is beneficial. In other matchups, Whirler Virtuoso providing Bristling Hydra with additional instances of hexproof is going to be better, and so on.
This strength-in-numbers theme is what slots Temur Energy into the synergy classification over the "good card" strategy. Sure, the cards may be good on their own, but playing them in the same deck as one another makes them better.
Building Your Own Decks
Deckbuilding can mean a plethora of different things, and the approach changes a great deal depending on what kind of tournament someone is preparing for,or how someone wants to play Magic. Two of the more technical ways to consider how one builds a deck are top-down and bottom-up design.
Top-down design can be most easily summed up as starting with a blueprint and then working on the deck from there. This is what is most frequently labeled "netdecking," and generally involves starting with a base list and tweaking it from there. The reason that it's called top-down is because the groundwork for the deck has already been laid, and at the point that work on the deck begins, the deckbuilder's job is to make cosmetic changes. Think choosing the flooring or paint on the walls of a house, which is like choosing whether to play six, seven, or eight total copies of Grasp of Darkness and Fatal Push, and in what combination.
Bottom-up design is exactly what it sounds like: building something from the ground up. This type of deck building tends to look like something to the effect of, "I think that Torrential Gearhulk is well-positioned right now, so how can I build a deck to accommodate it?" The method ends up being more time-consuming, albeit more rewarding, when successfully implemented.
A common train of thought that I tend to travel down when preparing for a tournament ends up utilizing both schools of thought, in a way that has the positioning advantage of the bottom-up design but the tweaked feel of the top-down design.
One of the first things that I do when preparing for a tournament is figure out what angle I want to be attacking from. Sometimes it's determining that linear combo decks are well-positioned. Other times it's the previously mentioned desire to play a singular well-positioned card in the format.
From there, the next step tends to be looking for decks that already exist that fit the bill, so to speak. To use an experience from a recent tournament, the person I pool cards with determined that linear combo decks were a great place to be in Modern. From there, I looked at linear combo decks that were seeing play, eventually arriving at the conclusion to play U/R Gifts Storm in Richmond.

Top-down innovations are something that many of us have come to expect from Brad Nelson, and Grand Prix Denver was no exception. I know the list has already been shared a couple of times this article, but stay with me.
Creatures (24)
- 4 Bristling Hydra
- 3 Glorybringer
- 4 Longtusk Cub
- 4 Rogue Refiner
- 4 Servant of the Conduit
- 4 Whirler Virtuoso
- 1 Rhonas the Indomitable

Tell me what the sorest thumbs in this decklist are.
The first thing worthy of note is that Chandra, Torch of Defiance is in the sideboard.
Okay, that's a little odd, but it isn't completely farfetched.
What do the other decks in the Top 8 of Grand Prix Denver all have in common? They're soft to the sky-boat!
The Temur Energy deck that we've been looking at all along shows the beauty of top-down design (an established deck being tweaked to a level that it previously hadn't reached) and bottom-up applications being demonstrated with the direction that the deck was slanted. It's no accident that this deck can maindeck multiple copies of the card most commonly sideboarded against the previous-level strategies.
Applying the Process
The next step is using these methods in a way that suits you. Not everybody is going to build decks for the sake of playing at Grand Prix, and not everyone plays to win.
For some people, the best parts of Magic are tweaking a couple of sideboard cards and mastering somebody else's decklist. For others, the real joy comes from building one's own deck and adjusting it until it works.
Even if you're brewing your own decks, top-down design can be used to help borrow ideas from other people's work and apply it to your own ground-up decklists. If you're more excited about working on an existing deck, consider how you can fit an unused idea into a known archetype.
This doesn't even begin to touch on the specifics of what goes into tuning a deck and making cards compensate for one another. But that's a discussion for another time…

It appears the summer season is on the horizon & I for one am glad. I am done with winter snaps & Spring drizzles. Over the past few months I have been working tirelessly on rejuvenating my wardrobe & creating a more capsule solution.
So far it includes a lot of sheer blouses, pastel skinnies, jersey pencil skirts & a whole lotta heels! For once I can go to my wardrobe, pick something out & then actually have something else to wear with it, instead of my usual random pieces that I usually impulse buy. I'm like a frickin' magpie when I go shopping. Anything remotely lace, colourful & generally unmatchable & I'm in!
But no more! Now, if I have nothing to match it with in my wardrobe, it's not gettin' put in the basket! I am keeping strong to this resolution & it is paying off in dividends. Especially when the sun is out & I'm busting the floral jersey pencil skirt & cerise blouse down at the beach (casual).
Talking of which I have been loving H&M's new floral collection! Totes amaze! I have both the tailored trousers & the jersey pencil skirt & I am still to purchase the floral sheer blouse. That's right bitches, I'm gonna get me the whole friggin collection! And what!
Unfortunately, due to spending most of my dollar on clothes, my social status has greatly declined due to lack of funding. It's like, do I go out dressed inappropriately last season, or do I stay in wearing something rad. I mean, should I really be forced to have to make this decision! I need a better income STAT! Especially now I have a fully fledged shopping habit.
I think it might be time to actually do the whole job search thing...AGAIN! It's such a drag though, I mean really! I just need an amazing job that requires me to be über creative, stylish & paid exceptionally well. Is that really too dayumn much to ask for! Jeez!
On the upside of all this financial/style dilemma, I have at least been exploring my dating options & I am happy to say I am fully ready to step out of my man-shape hibernation & get back to manipulating the damn market! Plus, now that I'm sporting my geek-chic (& I'd like to add prescription) specs, I can actually make informed decisions, not just blind guesses, about whether a guy is hot to trot or just better from a far.
Off to go organise my wardrobe...

text: Every year around the time when we get our first major snow fall I ask myself, why am I living in a county full of old people who even on a great summer day can't drive for shit???!!!! Now, I'll be the first to admit that I hate driving in snow and I'll do just about anything I can to avoid it. Especially up here because if it's snowing after 9PM it ain't getting plowed until 8am the next day!! BUT, there is cautious driving and then there is just plain dumb shit cautious driving. I was stuck for 8 miles tonight on what is reasonably the straightest road in the county behind some 90 year old doing (I kid you not) at best 20mph. Well, you ask, if the road is straight why didn't you just pass him? Ahh, the joys of loosing your sight in old age and still believing you have the ability to drive a car! This idiot was all over the road. In both lanes, speeding up, slowing down. I had to back way off (after deliberately scaring the shit out of him to force him to pay attention, which actually improved the situation believe it or not, most of the time it just pisses them off which, most of the time is my goal) just so that I wouldn't die if he slid off the road. So, here is my question to him: Why are you not in Florida with the rest of the grumpy old men? Hey, it's my blog, I can be an ass if I want to be, you're reading this because you are interested, not because I somehow forced you to. When I'm 80 I hope to god someone takes away my license AND my car because then I can justify the expense of a chauffeur. Now I'll leave you with this, a reflection of certain people with whom I will be dealing with first hand come Friday Morning. Think Traverse City is high class? Better think again. This 'sterotype' is way too common up here, especially in the winter. Remind me to be sure I wear a tie next time I visit Wal-mart.

Rain fell in torrents, but the siege of Randstadt continued. As Lieutenant Mary Amadeus trudged back to the artillery park through mud and puddles, the air shook with both thunder and the concussion of heavy guns. She heeded it not. Feeling wet-through and miserable, her only desire now was to reach her tent and rest – and mope over the ruin of her hopes. A particularly vivid sheet of lightning surged through the heavy cloud above, triggering Mary's latent sense of scientific inquiry. She tipped her head to regard the cloud and was rewarded by a stream of water trickling out the folds of her tricorn and down her back. She huddled into her cloak, thinking but not voicing one of Ursula's choice curses. The memory of happier if wilder days with her friend buoyed Mary for a while, until the general sense of gloom descended once more.
It lasted until she reached Officers' Row in the artillery park, at which point she stopped dead in her tracks with surprise. A full-sized officer's pavilion stood where her small but adequate tent had been. The board announcing her name and rank had been hammered into the ground to one side of the entrance. A thin stream of smoke emerged from a tin chimney pipe extending above the roof. The rain cascaded off the sloping canvas roof into a broad drainage channel, keeping the area under the pavilion dry. It looked like an abode fit for a colonel.
Wide-eyed and curious, Mary splashed her way over to the pavilion and cautiously drew back the fly, to see Ursula and Philip comfortably ensconced on padded camp stools by a pot-bellied stove.
"Ah! There you are!" Philip exclaimed, rising to his feet. Ursula grinned and raised a tankard in greeting. An enameled pot sat on top of the stove, and Mary realized the air inside the pavilion resonated with the delightful aroma of coffee.
She stepped inside, into delightful warmth, and allowed the fly to fall. Philip came up and took her in his arms. "Welcome to your new premises, my dear," he said tenderly. Over his shoulder Mary saw Ursula smile and look away from their intimacy. She busied herself with pouring a third tankard of coffee.
"Philip, where did this all come from?" Mary asked, amazed. She looked at the stove, and a new camp cot, set within its own screened-off area. The ground underfoot was dry and covered with a mat of closely-woven rushes.
He drew back and held her gently by the shoulders. "It's my gift to you. A small compensation for the bitter disappointment we suffered."
"You're too kind," she murmured.
Ursula stood and handed her a tankard. "Here you are, get the right side of this."
Mary smiled her thanks and cupped cold hands around the heavenly warmth seeping through the pewter. "You worked quickly. I was only at the gun lines for half an hour."
"We had help," Ursula said with a wink, taking her seat once more.
"How goes it up there?" Philip asked, guiding her to a stool.
"We're making progress." Mary sipped the scalding brew. "The Neuburg battery's taking a pounding from our guns. We should silence it in another day's work, two at most."
"My father hopes to have Randstadt in our possession within the month."
"It may be sooner," Mary said tersely. Since the confrontation over Professor Knappenberger's letter, she found it hard to think kindly of her liege lord, Grand Duke Karl.
Ursula must've sensed her thoughts, for she set aside her tankard and leaned forward. "What happened is not my uncle's fault, Mary," she said earnestly. "He has to be guided by protocol."
"He didn't help matters," Mary replied, giving Philip a sidelong glance. "I'm sorry, Philip. I know he's your father, but he dealt me – us – a cruel blow."
"So he did," Philip sighed, rubbing his furrowed brow.
"And you're a fine one to talk about protocol, Ursula," Mary went on, giving her friend a hot look.
"Touché," Ursula murmured.
"I'm sorry you sent that letter to Professor Knappenberger."
"Call it another brick in the road to hell." Ursula gazed at her for a long moment. "I did so with the best of intentions."
Mary shrugged, sipped coffee as her emotions threatened to rise up and cause a scene it would be hard to retract. "You're my best friend. I really do believe you," she managed to say.
"I'm glad of that, Mary A," Ursula said, reached over to clasp her hand. "And, it so happens I may be able to fix things."
"How so?"
Ursula took a sheet of parchment from a fold of her dress and held it up. Philip peered at it and blinked. "Isn't that the reply from Professor Knappenberger?"
"Yes. I filched it from your father's bureau the last time I went to headquarters." Philip's jaw dropped and Ursula clicked her tongue. "Oh, don't look such an idiot! It needed to be done." She waved the letter. "This damned thing has already caused my best friend and you a lot of damage. Now I think it'll help undo it."
"You stole it from my father's bureau?"
Ursula gave her cousin a scathing look and addressed Mary. "I asked the Professor to reply to me, so this letter should've come to me anyway. Somehow it got addressed to my uncle. Why?"
Mary frowned. "I don't know."
"Because somebody wanted to cause mischief."
"They certainly succeeded!" Philip said.
"You think this mysterious somebody knew about your inquiry to the Professor?" Mary asked.
"I'm almost certain of it."
Ursula's eyes sparkled in a way Mary knew of old. Her spirits began to revive. "What are you planning to do?"
Ursula glanced around at the canvas walls of the tent. "I'm pretty sure no one's outside snooping on our conversation in this weather," she said, pitching her voice low. "Even so, I'm keeping my plan to myself for now. I'll be heading back to Hetzenberg in the morning, then up to Bolschen."
"Bolschen?" Mary cocked her head. "Why there?"
"I may take the waters," Ursula replied with a wink.

The panic sets in as you obsessively hit the reload button on your browser. Hoping each time that, magically, your website will load, and you can return to your regularly scheduled day. But, after checking and rechecking several times you come to the conclusion your website is down. Now, what?
If you're reading this blog post, chances are you're hoping for some immediate and actionable advice on what to do next. So let's get to it.
Verify your site is actually down
It is possible that your website isn't down at all or that the problem is an isolated incident, so before sounding the alarm bells, here are a few ways you can verify it is actually down.
Cast a Wide Net
First, check your internet connection, your web browser, and your computer. You can check all three of these things at once by using your mobile phone. Disable WiFi on your phone and visit your website. If your website works, then it's not your website. Turn on WiFi and try again. If it still works, then the issue is probably your computer or the browser you're using, not your website.
Here's a great site that also comes in handy in these situations.
Close the Net
If your site still appears to be down, it's time to turn your attention to more of the specifics surrounding the issue. Let's focus on three of the most common reasons why your site could go down.
1. Access to your web server is prohibited or prevented.
Symptom: Modern browsers are pretty good about knowing when the web server access is the issue so they will display an error message similar to the one below.
If it's a matter of accessing your web server, you'll notice the error comes from your browser, not from your website, and will usually say something about access, or DNS. This type of failure is unlike the other error messages we will talk about later
Some possible causes for such outages:
You should contact the person, company or department that registered your website domain name.
2. Your web server is malfunctioning
If your browser is serving up anything (even a blank page) then the chances are that access to the web server isn't your issue. You should focus on the web server and the website code as possible culprits.
The best way to tell if it's the server or your website is to pay close attention to the error message (or the lack of error message).
Our goal here is to spot one of two types of error messages. One is going to be attributed to your web server, the other is your website code. Knowing which one is which will tell you where the fix needs to be made.
Here's how you can tell if the error message you're getting is related to your web server.
The five most common of these codes are:
You should contact the person, company or department that maintains your web server. In some cases, that may be a third-party host provide
3. Your website code is broken.
Once you've ruled out the network and the server, it's safe to assume that the issue is with your website code. This is far and away the most common reason for a website to go down.
Some telltale clues to look for:
Software errors can be pretty messy. Sometimes they will produce what is referred to as a call stack or a backtrace. These are log files that are served up to show what the activity the software was performing when the error occurred.
The best person to fix this issue will be your website developer. Contact the person, company or department that maintains your website. It would be helpful to provide a screenshot of the error, the browser you're using and any activity you were doing if the error appeared after it (i.e. submitting a contact form).

Had terminex service for over 15 years, every time they came by, boss wrote a check for services, technician would sign receipt with check number. Regional representative sent a "courtesy letter" stating we didn't pay for service three times, and threatened to take us to court.
Boss called and arrainged for an appointment (mind you we're a retail buisness in the middle of christmas season). The regional manager came in, was huffy and insultive. Boss explained to him that he (the boss) had check numbers and reciepts for every treatment, and said " I'll tell you what, here's the $74.00 that we owe you, and cancel our service".
The regional manager proceeded to scream and yell at my boss about how we caused so much trouble. My boss withdrew the $74.00 and told him to take us to court.
Product or Service Mentioned: Terminix Pest Control.
I was recently "let go" from Terminix simply because I didn't sell enough. My customers loved me, never rec'd any complaints, always completed my route 95% or greater, and collected well each month. But because I didn't sell 2-3000$ worth of overpriced and oftentimes totally unnecessary products and/or services every month they had to let me go. While I did in fact sell (usually at least 500 -1000$/month but sometimes well over the 2000$/month "goal"), my numbers apparently weren't good enough. Trust me, you are far better off with a locally owned pest company that doesn't offer all the other products/services and force their service techs to sell. Or better yet, go to doityourselfpestcontrol.com and you can get the exact same products that I used as a tech.
Do the math: On average, the yearly cost for pest control with Terminix is $300.00 (75$ every 3 months). Go to doit yourselfpestcontrol.com and spend 50-100$ and you will have enough product to last you 2 - 3 years.
terminix pest control for 3 years =$900.00
doityourselfpestcontrol.com for 3 years = $50-100.00
And if you do go with Terminix, pray that your service tech (pmp) actually gives enough of a rat's *** to provide a good service, because believe me, plenty of them do not. Just a little information and common sense is all anyone needs to take care of their pest problem. There are plenty of avenues one can use to gain necessary info to treat their home correctly, without having to pay dearly.
Obviously I'm not happy with the way I was let go, but the above points reflect the way I've felt for quite some time. I was with the company over two years, and I developed a lot of good relationships with many of my customers. I can honestly say that I treated my customers the way I would expect to be treated, and tried to treat their homes like each was my own. In the two + years I was there, I did see a lot of questionable ethics. And nearly all of these situations revolved around money. Sell, Sell, Sell!! was the mantra.
Do yourself a favor, think twice about dealing with the big companies. Like every other large corporation, it's all about the almighty dollar.

Do stocks really deserve to be up so much?
What is astonishing is how much the Dow is still below its 14,000 peak. With all of the trading energy of the last three months, the market has only made it back to 8,500 which means many traders are still sitting on horrible losses.
Does the market deserve to be up so much? Only if traders still believe that the recession will end well before the end of the year and that the sickening rise in unemployment will either end or slow considerably. If there are any significant signs that the economy is faltering badly again or if joblessness keeps growing by 500,000 or more people per month, the market could give back a great deal of what it has gained.
The other wild card is oil prices. Almost no one would have believed that a shattered economy could push crude back above $65 with OPEC doing little or nothing to cut supply. If businesses and the consumer are facing a spike in energy costs in the fall, the economy may have to climb one more mountain.
