What happens? Merry has a dream. MERRY. HAS. A. DREAM. Each of her menz is in it, doing shiny magical shit because IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING MAGIC SEX AND NOTHING BUT FOR THIS ENTIRE BOOK SO FAR. LKH thinks she's being symbolic, but the reality is she's just spoiling a lot of shit for us. Kitto will probably get the power to control snakes and will lead the goblins to who gives a fuck.
The only thing plot important is that the Goddess is present in her Crone form. She's holding a glowing cup. No, that doesn't quite cover it.
The chalice began to shine the way the skin of a sidhe shines when power is running through him. The shine became a glow, until the chalice was like a star sitting in her hands, a glowing, pulsing star. Light seemed to spill out of it, as if light could be liquid and held in a cup.You know, I've seen a lot of people try to imitate LKH's way of repeating fucking everything but nothing looks quite as overdone and parodying as the woman's own fucking words. THE CHALICE IS GLOWING, OKAY? DO YOU GET THAT YET.
Anyhoo, Merry takes a drink from the cup, and the goddess is now a young girl.
...Okay. I have to get this off my chest. I've avoided it because I do not like picking at other people's religions (I'm a pro-choice, feminist Christian who uses tarot cards and the Bible with equal frequency) but...yeah, LKH ascribes to a form of paganism a lot of people call Fluffy Bunny. I wouldn't call it that because bunnies are mean little shits when they want to be and this form of paganism usually loses all its teeth in infancy. It's the kind of paganism in which practitioners do a sage smudging before their Tibetan Singing Bowl ritual to Odin and Isis. The kind where you ignore the blood-soaked history between, say, Rome and Ireland, and decide to stick Zeus and Brigid in the same shrine. And a big, big, BIG hallmark of this is trying to make every single fucking goddess be a triad in maiden-mother-crone format. Or else picking and choosing goddesses to fill out each role, which works about as well as a dill pickle split topped with vanilla ice cream and bacon. Some of this comes from lineaged Wicca being a closed religion. If you want to know all of its secrets, including who the Lord and Lady actually are, you have to be initiated. I have yet to see this information be posted online. That's how seriously they take it. The reason that most books on Wicca-esque paganism talk about a triple goddess is because that's what they follow: A very specific triune female Deity whose identity is oathbound.
The nearest thing LKH seems to have gotten to that piece of inner-court material is Silver Ravenwolf. Given Silver's track record (I am thinking specifically of a table she included in one of her "To" books on sigils for various spirits. Unfortunately for Ms. Ravenwolf, it looks like she cribbed off the Golden Dawn's material, and in that particular chunk of GD stuff, the things marked "Spirits" were also marked "evil, use with caution". So basically she copy-pasted a list of demons into something intended for beginners, when the list marked "benign, possibly friendly" was literally on the same fucking goddamn page) I do not think that LKH ever got near the oathbound materials.
My point here is that LKH seems to be making a play for Danu having that maiden-mother-crone format. The problem with that is....far as I can tell, Danu doesn't have the triple aspect. There are female celtic deities that do (though some of them, like the Morrigan, still don't fit the criteria) but Danu does not appear to be one of them.
However, if LKH has suddenly developed a sense of the symbolic between paragraphs, this could just be a metaphore for the renewal of lands and peoples via Merry.
Anyhoo, Merry wakes up and she's got the magic glowy cup sitting on her bed. Apparently the Magic Vag of Holding even works when Merry is asleep.
In the next chapter everybody's gathered around the kitchen island staring at the goddamn cup.
We get a boring description of Sage the demifey, and how the demifey are basically spying for everybody.
And then...wait...is this...yes it is. IT'S A DESCRIPTION THAT DOESN'T SUCK.
It sat in the glow of the overhead lights looking like what it was, an ancient relic of power that just happened to be sitting on a breakfast nook table barely big enough for the four chairs that framed it. The cup needed at the very least a large dining room table, with acres of gleaming hardwood and shields and weaponry mounted on the walls. The cat clock on the wall with the moving tail and eyes didn't match the cup...I like this. I like this a lot. Yes, it's still got LKH's patented Kronk repitition (The poison, the poison for Kuzco...) but it's an honestly good image. A thing of great power and magic sitting on your dining room table next to your laptop and phone. One of the things that I love about urban fantasy is it kind of brings fairy-tales back where they were originally. That little cottage in the woods back then was basically the suburbs now. In fact, lots and LOTS of scholars have pointed out that King Arthur didn't have that shining armor, or those castles, or any of the other things that medieval people gave him. They upgraded the actual legend to what was contemporary terms at the time.
....And yeah, that quality didn't last. Here's how the paragraph actually ends.
The cat clock on the wall with the moving tail and eyes didn't match the cup, but it did match the white canisters with black-and-white kittens painted on top of them. Maeve had never owned a cat, but I'd bet her decorator did.This is writing 101: stick with one fucking idea per paragraph. The idea here is that the cup does not fit in this world. Maeve's cat-obsessed decorator has nothing to do with it, and shouldn't be present at all. And LKH is professional enough to fix this shit.
We get a history lesson on the cup. It started life as a caldron, turned into a cup because Holy Grail (I mean it. The legends about the Holy Grail changed the cup around) and then disappeared. Doyle rants about how much he wanted that cup back, especially during the potato famine in Ireland. Apparently this thing can feed an entire army. And then...LKH stops sucking. Again.
He spoke without turning around, as if he spoke more to the darkness outside than to us . "What do the gods do when once they could answer the prayers of their followers, then suddenly they cannot? One day they simply have to watch their people die of diseases that only weeks before they could have healed. You are too young, Meredith, and even Galen; neither of you really understands what it was like. Not your fault. Not your fault." He spoke the last in a whisper to the glass, his face finally pressed gently to it.I love everything about this paragraph. I love this entire concept. I love the emotion behind it.
Thing is? We're never going to really address this. It's like she had a brain fart, got one good idea out there, and went "Whelp, let's go back to fucking. That won't go anywhere." But it shows so much of what these guys were like, what they valued, and how differently they think. THIS should have been the book. The return of gods, and what that would be like, would be really, really, REALLY awesome.
But we're stuck with the Magic Vag of Holding. Thanks, Laurel.
We also find out that the Fae gave up their powers three times; the third time the big clump of magic spontaneously came alive and became the Nameless.
And LKH just keeps on writing good shit.
"We could have stayed in Europe," Frost said.
"And what ," Doyle said, "be forced out of our hollow hills to buy houses and live next door to humans? To be forced to intermarry with humans." He looked back at me and said, "I don't mean to insult the princess , but a little mixed blood is one thing; to be forced to marry humans is something else. Those who remained behind in Europe had to sign treaties to give up their culture. " He spread his arms and hands wide. "Without their culture and belief a people do not exist."
"That's why they did it," Rhys said. "It was a way of destroying us that didn't smack of genocide."Goddamn it, Laurel. This is something that actually has meaning. This is something that we've done. It's something that we continue to do. WHY AREN'T YOU ACTUALLY USING THIS? Why are you doing the all-sex-channel when you goddamn know that you could be working with this? And even if you fuck up and get it all wrong, it'd be better than every single other thing that's happened in this entire series so far.
I can't even say that I'd dread how much she'd fuck it up, because even a fucked up commentary would have some kind of meaning behind it.
"The Goddess gave us her gifts, the Consort gave us his gifts, then one day they were gone. How can we trust that whatever gift we are given will not abandon us at our hour of need?" Pain, anger, frustration, hope, all fought across the darkness of his face.You know what? I have no criticism of this at all. I actually relate to this intensely. One of the issues I have with my faith is trusting that God will follow through with his promises...mostly because growing up, most of the adults I knew never did. It's very, very difficult to regain the ability to trust, to believe, once that trust is violated. And the guys keep on talking about this, and it's fucking beautiful. And I do not understand how the person who wrote this scene could be the same person who wrote the "let's rape Kitto" scene just a few chapters ago.
And then Merry interjects her own POV and it all goes straight to hell. See, she appreciates their pain. She doesn't give one flying rat's ass for the issues and questions these guys have raised--all of which are things she's going to have to address if she becomes Queen--but she feels for them. That makes it all better.
And then the guys segue into a conversation about politics and how the Fae shit all over the goblins and how none of that matters because they have to deal with the cup now.
They decide that they'll basically sit on it for a while. And then this happens:
"That is a different problem, my old friend," Doyle said. "The Goddess gives where She will, and it is not ours to question why or where." The fact that Doyle had been doing that very thing a few moments ago seemed to have escaped his notice— or maybe Doyle was the only one allowed to express doubts about the Goddess. Whatever the logic, or lack of it, no one pointed it out to him.Uh...yeah. No. There's two different attitudes being expressed here. Related to each other, but differing. What he was doing a few moments ago wasn't doubting the Goddess. He was doubting his ability to trust the Goddess because, when things went to shit, she wasn't there. What he's doing now is trying to scrape that trust together. It's that first, fragile step towards repairing a relationship.
Obviously this chapter is a mixed bag for me. Once again, this shit is the reason why we keep on reading her garbage. Every once in a while she throws something that isn't garbage. Maybe it's not solid gold, but it's something worth having and working with. The problem is that she doesn't work with it. She doesn't think about the implications of anything once she sets it down on paper. The non-con and the dropped ideas are absolutely related to her own myopic apathy. Because this, right here? This was the book. All she needed was an actual plot to call focus to the ideas here. This was what we should have gotten, and we didn't because she wanted to write sex instead.
Aside from that...I got nothing.

Asia's Top 4 Countries With The Most Billionaires
Asia's billionaire population has been exploding in recent years. Which countries have the most billionaires?

Asia's billionaire population has been exploding in recent years. Which countries have the most billionaires?
Published on 10 November 2017
There's a general perception globally that the amount of wealth in Asia is on the rise. And this, it turns out, is true: Asia is now – for the first time ever – home to more billionaires (637) than the United States (563), according to a recent report on the global billionaire population in 2016 by UBS and PWC. However, that's merely ranking a continent versus a country. Nevertheless, the number of billionaires in Asia and how quickly their rise has occurred is astonishing.
Josef Stadler, Head of Global Ultra High Net Worth at UBS, predicts that total wealth in Asia could surpass the US in as little as four years. That's assuming that the rate of a billionaire being created every two days continues.
We're going to look at the top 4 countries in Asia with the most billionaires.
You might have guessed it, but it's now confirmed. China tops the list with 318 billionaires. The jump from the previous year – when only 251 in China were able to call themselves "nine-digiters" – is perhaps what's most incredible. That's an increase of 27%. Some of the major sources of billionaire wealth in China were real estate, conglomerates, and industrials. Of the 318 billionaires, the average wealth is US$2.5 billion – this is the lowest average on our list of Asian nations.
Sort of China, but not really, Hong Kong comes in second place with 69 billionaires as of 2016 – up from 64 the previous year. Although this 8% increase is not as high as what was seen in greater China, considering Hong Kong's size, 69 billionaires is substantial. Hong Kong also has the highest average net wealth of billionaires in Asia, at US$4 billion. Most of this wealth comes from real estate, industrials, and technology.
The Land of the Rising Sun ranks third in Asia on the list with billionaires having increased by 22% to 33 in 2016. Japan is unique because 85% of the billionaires there are connected to publicly listed companies. Technology, consumer and retail, and health are the most popular sectors for Japanese billionaires.
The island nation is home to 21 billionaires, having seen a momentous 24% gain from 2015 to 2016. Singaporeans are similar to Chinese and Hong Kongers where the average wealth of multigenerational billionaires (who inherited their wealth) is higher than self-made billionaires. However, the total wealth of multigenerational billionaires is higher at US$32 billion versus US$27 billion for self-made billionaires. Singaporean billionaires tend to be involved in real estate, health, and consumer and retail industries. Interestingly, Singapore has the lowest number of billionaires connected to public companies at 57%, and there are no female Singaporean billionaires – yet.
Although all these countries have a substantial number of wealthy billionaires, when you compare the number of millionaires in each country, you start to see a massive disparity. Japan, for example, has 2,826,000 millionaires versus China's 1,590,000. Dig deeper and the median wealth per adult in Japan is US$120,493 versus China at US$4,885. The upper echelons continue to increase their wealth in Asia, however time will tell if that wealth at the top trickles down to the broader populations.

How Can I Conserve Loan On Automobile Insurance in Stanford CA?
The cost of auto insurance policy premiums can differ by numerous bucks, depending just what kind of car you have and that guarantees it. Here are some methods to conserve cash.
Search Stanford
Prices vary from company to business, so it'ses a good idea to search. Get at the very least 3 estimate. You can call firms directly or research study the info online. Your state insurance policy department may additionally supply comparisons of rates charged by significant insurance companies.
While purchasing, obtain quotes from different kinds of insurance provider. Some market via their very own representatives; some sell through independent agents that supply policies from numerous insurance companies. And also a growing variety of insurance providers offer directly to consumers over the phone or using the Net.
Do not go shopping by price alone. Ask pals and also relatives for their recommendations. Get in touch with your state insurance division to learn whether they offer info on customer complaints by business. Collaborate with an insurance coverage expert that requires time to address your questions.
Before You Buy a Vehicle in Stanford, Compare Insurance coverage Costs
Vehicle insurance premiums are based in component on the vehicle's rate, the cost to fix it, its general security document and the chance of theft. You could research safety rankings for details models with the Insurance Institute for Freeway Security's (IIHS) Top Security Pick rankings device.
Higher Deductibles Can Mean Reduced Costs
An insurance deductible is the amount you pay prior to your insurance policy starts. By choosing a greater deductible, you could considerably lower your expenses.

Buy Your Property owners and Car Insurance coverage from the Exact same Stanford California Firm
Many insurers will offer you a break if you "bundle" 2 or more kinds of insurance coverage, or have greater than one vehicle guaranteed with them. Many offer some type of discount to loyal consumers. Nevertheless, it still makes good sense to look around! Compared with a multipolicy discount from a solitary insurer, you could still conserve loan buying from different firms.
Maintain a Good Credit History
Establishing a solid credit score background has lots of benefits, including reduced insurance coverage costs. Most insurers utilize credit report details to price car insurance policy policies.
Capitalize on Low Mileage Discounts
Some companies use discount rates to drivers that own much less compared to the average variety of miles per year. Low mileage discount rates can additionally apply to motorists that cars and truck swimming pool to function.
Ask About Group Insurance policy in Stanford
Some firms supply reductions to drivers who obtain insurance via a group plan from their employers, via specialist, business and alumni teams or from other associations.
If there is a young motorist on your plan that is a good pupil, has taken a chauffeurs education and learning course or is away at college without an auto, you might also receive a lower rate. One crucial thing to maintain in mind is that the key to financial savings is not always getting discounts, but the final price. A company that uses couple of discounts could still have a reduced total cost.

In advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), surgery combined with systemic chemotherapy and immunotherapy have had limited effectiveness. Therapeutic modalities targeting VEGF, PDGF, and c-kit using tyrosine kinase inhibitors and m-TOR using specific biologic factors are in development. Therapeutic approaches targeting TNF-alpha have shown limited efficacy, while anti-TRAIL (TNFSF10) antibodies have shown enhanced activity. The presence and potential significance of other members of the TNFSF has not been investigated. Here, we assayed the TNFSF members APRIL, BAFF, TWEAK and their receptors (BCMA, TACI, BAFFR, Fn14) in 86 conventional type clear cell RCC, using immunohistochemistry and correlated our findings with histological data and, in a limited series, follow-up of patients. We observed a differential expression of these TNFSF ligands and receptors in cancerous and non-cancerous structures. BAFF was found in all RCC; APRIL expression is associated with an aggressive phenotype, correlating negatively with patients' disease-free survival, while TWEAK and its receptor Fn14 are heterogeneously expressed, correlating negatively with the grade and survival of RCC patients. This is the first study, presenting together the TNFSF members APRIL, BAFF, TWEAK and their receptors in different areas of normal renal tissue and RCC, suggesting a potential role of these TNFSF members in renal tumor biology.

Descriptive Essay
As my sister's wedding drew near, given that I was her maid of honor, it became apparent to me that it was my job to take all of the ladies in the wedding party to the salon on the day of the wedding. This was fine with me, except that I hadn't worn makeup or done my hair for years. After much convincing from the bride, I decided to get my makeup done with them, and regretted that decision every second after it was made.
The day approached all too soon. I was blown back by the smell of burnt hair and nail polish immediately upon opening the door for the wedding party. Trying to keep a happy face for my sister, I put holes through my tongue with my teeth so as not to gasp or gag in disgust. For all of the other females, this assault on the nostrils seemed enjoyable, as if they had all found they're natural environment. Every face I saw look back at me when I peered through the haze was burnt to a crisp, similar to the color of pumpkin pie, and layered in a spectral mask.
As I led the party back to our reserved section, we passed women of all ages sitting with glee as their hair was ripped from their head, being scorched with no mercy, and their faces were plastered with unnatural chemicals. I was astounded at how happy and childlike these women looked while their heads were being tortured; had they no idea? I tried to hide away after getting all of my ladies settled, but they would have none of it. My heart started pounding as a pack of rabid hyenas, cackling and foaming at the mouth with excitement, dragged me by my wrists to the hard as rock chair that I was sure had a layer of styling goo and makeup crust on it. I feared that would never release me from its grasp again.
Instantly after my obviously not-cushioned-enough butt hit the chair, a whole new group of jackals was hovering in my face, plotting its demise. Although I'm sure to other people it looked gentle, as far as I could tell they spent the next few minutes slamming...

Commander Review: Theros – Going into Extra Time with Medomai the Ageless
December 24, 2013 by Edward
Filed under Commander/General Ideas, Review
Hello and welcome back to another Commander Review of Theros. Today we will be looking at an additional member to a tribe who is constantly on their quest to acquire knowledge, the Sphinxes. This tribe of Creature had been around MtG for quite some time and had recently gained enough members that making a Tribal deck on them was made possible. Now established as one of the Blue big Creatures, as long as the setting of the set is able to, Sphinx will be consider if Blue need a big flier. For Theros, we are also given a number of them with Medomai leading them for us EDH-ers.
The Timeless One
Before we begin with our review, let's have a look at Medomai's stats.
Card Name: Medomai the Ageless
Types: Legendary Creature – Sphinx
Card Text: Flying
Whenever Medomai the Ageless deals combat damage to a player, take an extra turn after this one.
Medomai the Ageless can't attack during extra turns.
When I first saw the preview of Medomai, it took me a moment and a second look to take in this mythic Sphinx. For a moment there, I thought Wizards had lost their mind with this Creature. Had they lost it and printed the ultimate walking Time Walk? Was their R&D trying to reprint Time Walk back into Standard again? Then I read carefully again and finally realized that the R&D had done their job in balancing the card. Medomai can't attack during extra turns. That one last clause written at the end of its rule text box is what keeps Medomai power in check. Unlike a previous Commander, Aurelia, the Warleader, who could be set up into an infinite attack phases, Medomai's clause stops infinite loops of extra turns, very much similar to the way the Land, Magosi, the Waterveil works. One simply do not attack in extra turns; the other makes you skips your next turn when you set it up and bounces itself when you activate it for the extra turn. Getting an extra turn in normal variant is a deadly effect as you can further develop your board; get a chance at drawing a solution from the draw step; attack again; etc. If the clause for Medomai doesn't exist, its price tag would surely soar to insane range given its rarity as mythic. Dreams and fantasy aside, Medomai may not be that much use in Standard given its high casting cost but EDH is much slower and high cc spells are also common. Extra turns are a welcome bonus. Having that one extra turn to develop your board than other players is a boon, although that would mean Medomai will have a target sign on it. This is even truer since Medomai being a Sphinx has Flying which would allow it to be able to evade opponents' defense to deal the combat damage needed to trigger its Time Walk.
Extra Time
An extra turn in 1v1 is a very deadly effect as you gain more advantages over your opponent in terms of board and hand. Put that into EDH, you have double the development than your opponents. This is a reason why Time Walk and Time Vault, the first and possibly the cheapest of their genre you can get, are banned in EDH. Subsequent extra turn cards are either higher in casting cost or activation cost to use. The way I see it, Medomai is quite well-suited for 1v1 EDH. You could use it as the Time Walk much like Balthor the Defiled is a Living Death. If it is the Commander, then it is easily available as and when you need it. As a Commander, I think it is more effective in 1v1 games rather than multiplayer. Given its ability, it might not be able to survive till it attacks in multiplayer games. Lightning Greaves is the least you must have on the battlefield before you summon Medomai. This is so it could attack when it enters the battlefield or at least survive till you could clear the way for it to attack. It is to be noted that board sweep is common in EDH, so the longer you wait to attack the more vulnerable Medomai is. Below are some ways to better protect Medomai till you are ready to attack with it.
Made for Commander. Gives equipped Creature +2/+2. Additional Hexproof if equipped Creature is a Commander.
Has Indestructible and grants Indestructible to equipped Creature.
Has Shroud and grants Shroud to enchanted Creature.
Grants Shroud to equipped Creature and prevents combat damage to it.
Grants Protection from Creatures to enchanted Creature. Since combat damage is needed to be dealt for Medomai's extra turn trigger, being blocked by a 0/6 Flying Wall is not going to good thing. These Auras will help to prevent that.
Grants Indestructible to enchanted Creature.
Grants Haste and Shroud to equipped Creature. Best combination with Medomai. Good for its zero equip cost too. No.1 Equipment for Commander-based decks.
Grants Haste and Hexproof to equipped Creature. Best combination with Medomai but loses out to Greaves for requiring 1 to equip. No.2 Equipment for Commander-based decks.
Joining the Tribe
If you do not wish to spend too much time and resource to protect Medomai, then making it a support Creature for the deck would be better choice. A sudden appearance of Medomai could really surprise everyone since it would be least expected. An interesting way to play Medomai is to put it into a Sphinx Tribal deck. With the recent sets, more Sphinxes are added to the family and Medomai could be added to the ranks too. Recommended Commander for such deck would be Isperia the Inscrutable, for its ability to tutor for almost all the Sphinx. Also all Sphinxes are in its color identity. Below are the new added Sphinxes since the last time we talked about them as a Tribal theme.
Flying 4/4 that let you Scry 2 as it enters the battlefield.
Flying. Ver 2.0 of Isperia. Let you draw cards for each Creature attacking you or planeswalkers you control. It is to be noted that both version of Isperia can be on the battlefield at the same on the same side since both have different names.
Flying, Vigilance. Pumps up your army (+1/+1 to other attacking Creatures till end of turn) when it attacks.
Flying. Discard a card: Taps itself and gains Hexproof till end of turn. Lets you Scry 3 as it attacks.
Flying. Part of a card drawing engine in combo EDH deck utilizing Relentless Rats and Shadowborn Apostle since those two are the only few cards other than basic Lands allowable in EDH to have more than one per deck.
Flying. Card draw whenever a Flying Creature attacks. Reap the rewards for playing the Sphinx tribe since almost every one of them flies. Also to be noted that Windreader Sphinx let you draws cards too if your opponents attack with their Flying Creatures.
Joining the ranks with the above Sphinxes, the Tribal theme would be one interesting way to use Medomai as a common Creature instead of as a Commander. Since Isperia the Inscrutable can tutor out all the Sphinxes, you could fetch Medomai as and when you need it. This is in my opinion the more economic way to play Medomai. Seeing Medomai as your Commander, everyone will start to prepare for it. It is not going to be surprising that Medomai will be send to the graveyard or exile zone, or if you choose to after the before mentioned, back to the Command Zone immediately after it enters the battlefield even before attacking. The risk is no lesser with it as a common Creature but at least the cost to bring it onto the battlefield will not be too high to bear than it returning from the Command Zone with increasing Commander Tax each time. There are also many ways already mentioned in the Sphinx Tribal theme article to reduce the casting cost of the Sphinxes if you feel that they are too high. Adding to that is Warden of Evos Isle from M14, which also works outside of the Sphinx theme, reducing the casting cost of Creature spells with Flying by 1.
The game plan for Medomai is extra turns, and extra turns are deadly when 1v1. Medomai is very good Commander if you play more 1v1 EDH than multiplayer EDH as you are only controlling against one opponent. With Medomai's color identity, it is quite easy to do so. But things are much more different in multiplayer. First off there are more players to control and watch out for. More opponents mean more hate towards Medomai. No one is going to like the idea of you going two turns even when your two turns are not on a regular basis or will just "Lay Land, Go". Getting rid of Medomai will be the top priority on their "Thing to Do" list. Protecting it will be tougher when facing multiple opponents. If your are playing multiplayer for most of your games, Medomai will serve much better as a common Creature than as the Commander. This is because everyone's Commander is made known at the beginning of the game. If your opponent know that you are going to take extra turns, precautions will be taken to prevent that. On the other hand, if it is just a common Creature in your deck, they will not know it till it hit them. The most you will be thought of as a Control deck with Medomai acting as your Time Walk when you get it. Otherwise, you could set Meodmai as the Commander in a Prison style deck, but your Prison cards have to be very VERY hard lock as once your opponents break through it would be the end for you. Pretty unfun for your opponents as they sit there all night doing nothing while watching you play; or also unfun for you if they manage to break through your prison. It would then be total chaos for you if you all decide to play a rematch, with everyone aiming you right from the start. Therefore my recommendation for Medomai is more of a common Creature than a Commander. If you have other awesome idea to use Medomai, do enlighten us in the comment box below. We would like to see how others think of this Time Walk with feet.
For now we shall end it off here, thus till the next Theros review…
This is yours truly, Edward "Reaper King" Leong, signing off.

Who are the top three players on the all-time games played list?
ANSWER: Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, and Yaz.
POSTED BY Coley Ward ON 12:15 am, June 7, 2006 - POSTED IN News reel
Who are the top three players on the all-time games played list?
ANSWER: Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, and Yaz.
I'll say Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, and Rickey Henderson.
ill say rose and aaron are locks….3rd guess is cobb but
if its not cobb its probably rickey or yaz or musial
Hey Lance, you wanna pick three guys, or you just wanna name 20 or 30 to improve your chances of being right?
wow, thats a lot of hate considering i was a perfect 3 for 3 on the last 3 questions…for the record my guess is yaz
Ok, you clearly just went and looked that one up Lance.
Lance is right: it's Rose, Aaron and Yaz.
ok no…considering 5 hours earlier i had yaz as a possible answer…that seems a little odd that after narrowing it down to 3 that i would then go ruin my integrity and go cheat to get the answer
nick, not to mention clearly cobb or rickey wasnt the answer because coley didnt acknowledge either one of them when we posted them as answers so i knew it wasnt cobb or rickey as the 3rd guy…so i just took a basic guess between yaz or musial…i was quite confident it was one or the other so i just took a guess and since musial was JUST an answer recently i went with yaz
Here's something stupid. I got an email from Boston Globe editorial the other day asking for the best "bar stool arguments" that staffers had ever had (I'm a lowly serf doing research). One of their examples was "Favorite all-time Sox: Papi or Yaz?" Ye fools!!! Even the marvelous Ortiz has a long, long way to go before he approaches Yaz status. That's like comparing Paul Pierce to Larry Bird. Anyways, just thought I'd share.
Sarah, I'm a yankees fan and although I completely understand your point, Papi DID bring you a championship that Yaz never did
Yes. And I hope that by the time his contract with the Sox plays out (and may he finish his career here, PUHLEASE Theo and God) his number will also be hanging on the right field upper deck. But it's a long way to Tipperary.
Trust a Yankees fan to think it's *all* about championships. ;)
when you're a fan of a team in a 84 year championship drought and you finally win one, isn't it ALL about THAT championship?
If that were true, I'd have stopped being a fan two years ago…
86 years, pal. 86.
wow….did you come from the most condescending school of thought?
being a diehard new york rangers fan im familiar with curses and whatnot……just because u finally win one doesnt mean you stop being a fan, and i certainly wasnt implying that, but it does mean that 1994 is the most important sports year of my life and does mean to me that mark messier, adam graves etc are forever etched into the lore of new york heroes.
yaz is our version of rod gilbert or jean ratelle…great players who never played for a cup winning team…fans loved them, but unfortunately they will never be able to reach the messier/richter/graves/leetch category. Is it fair? probably not, but thats the way it is.
86. i apologize sarah green
Dead on about Griffey…. I can already see his pelvis, hammy and quad ripping through his tight baseball pants.

Brief Biography
Dr. Todd Mainprize is a neurosurgeon who trained at the University of Toronto and who currently works at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. He works with traumatic spinal injuries and degenerative spinal problems.
Research Interests
Mainprize has two main areas of research interest. He is collaborating with scientists at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre to investigate the utility of MR-guided focused ultrasound in the treatment of primary and metastatic brain tumours. This novel modality can be used to safely and reversibly disrupt the blood-brain barrier allowing for better delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the tumour. Additionally, at higher energies, focused ultrasound can target and destroy the tumour cells with millimetre accuracy and may be a radiation-free alternative to radiosurgery.
Secondly, Mainprize is investigating the various pathway dysregulations in meningiomas with the hope of developing more effective treatments for recurrent and higher grade tumours.

Talk about forward planning. We already know of Marvel Studios' full plans for their Phase Two films, and the dates of their various Phase Three films.
Now it appears Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has things mapped even further forward than that. He tells WIRED:
"I could arguably say what we're planning for the year 2021. Will that happen? I don't know. But what we planned for 2015 in 2006 is happening.
Five years ago, looking at our plan, we knew that if Avengers was going to work, the movies had to stand alone. Now we have to prove to the studio that we're more than just these five characters, these five franchises."

Ladies and Gentleman, we are overwhelmed by the support and attention that "Showgirls the Musical" has gotten! We graced the pages of the iconic RedEye, and donors have showed us so much love by their generous donations! When we started it was a small dream with big hopes, and now we see the endless possibilities of surpassing our original goal of $2,5000, and making "Showgirls the Musical" even bigger and better than originally planned! So, go all in with us and donate today, darlin'! You gotta gamble if you're gonna win!
The timeless story of a hungry young dancer's rise to the top of the sordid Las Vegas entertainment industry makes it's way to Chicago stage—paired with only the finest musical treasures of the 70s, 80s and 90s. With a small cast of talented actors (and as much glitter and gold lamé as we can get our hands on) we bring you "Showgirls the Musical"—opening October 2012 in Chicago. Discussions are already underway to bring the show to other cities in 2013.
Once obtaining our total, we will produce "Showgirls the Musical" in Chicago for a brief, initial run of public performances before packing our bags, and hopefully taking the show on the road. To make this happen we need to raise a minimum of $2,500.
This total will help us pay our small cast of actors, build a fabulous set, and help promote the show. If 100 supports each give just $25, we'll reach our goal! Check out the sexy rewards we offer for supporting our campaign. If you are interested in attending a performance, a $100 donation rewards you with not only a ticket for admission, but other great perks that make it worth your while.
What is "Showgirls the Musical?"
"Showgirls the Musical" is a musical drama about a dancer scheduled to premiere in October of 2012 in Chicago.
Why do you need $2,500?
We need at least $2,500 to cover the cost of our initial run in Chicago. This amount will allow us what we need to provide costumes, lighting, set design, compensation for actors, as well as marketing and press materials to ensure the success of "Showgirls the Musical."
What happens if you don't make your goal of $2,500?
If we don't raise at least $2,500 we will not get any of the money that was pledged. Your credit card will not be charged.
Does my credit card get charged when I make the pledge?
No. Your credit card will only get charged when we reach our $2,500 goal.
When do I get my merchandise, my tickets and pledge incentives?
All pledge fulfillment will begin when we reach our goal. Programs will be completed shortly before the show's opening, but other incentives will become available sooner.
How do I know what dates the show will be running and do I get a choice of dates to attend?
The show is scheduled for mid-October 2012 opening for a short run. Additional shows may be added as initial shows fill. Your pledge will entitle you to choose from any of the public performances. If you can't attend for any reason, tickets will be transferable, but not refundable.
What do you hope to accomplish with "Showgirls the Musical"?
Our goal is to develop "Showgirls the Musical" into a viable theatrical spectacular on both local and national levels and see her live long into the future—hitch-hiking across the globe, and lap-dancing her way into the hearts of musical lovers.
Can you exceed your fundraising goal?
Yes! To exceed our goal would make us very proud, and would also elevate the final product even farther than we intend too. Additional funding would result in even more glitz and glamour than we already have planned for you!
Is my pledge publicly displayed?
No. You and the producers of "Showgirls the Musical" are the only people who will be able to view your pledge amount. Only the name you choose (first name; initials; or alias) will be displayed as a supporter of the project.
If I donate, how do I get my reward?
Depending on the type of reward, once we complete our fundraising effort you'll be contacted as to how and when to collect your gift. Some rewards may not be available until the show has begun. If your reward is a ticket to the show, you will be contacted prior to tickets going on sale to the general public, to be sure you get your choice of performance.

Sally Keyes (math coach), Kamaljit Sangha (7/8 math teacher/department leader) and Cecilio Dimas (7/8 math teacher) discuss the lesson on cost-analysis and the mathematical sense of student-created tables with and without errors. They want the students to make mathematical sense of the tables and discover the mathematical reasoning as well as to go beyond the notion that the table is either right or wrong. If the depiction is inaccurate, they want students to discover that the table could possess mathematical sense but not match the mathematical context of the original DVD plans and would therefore be an incorrect table for this context.
Another focus of the lesson is to allow students to have the opportunity to work collaboratively and observe how partner work may influence students' understanding of tables. Their thought is that building in independent think time prior to partner time will allow students to formulate their own thoughts and not be influenced by others. Having to explain their thoughts to a partner will encourage all students to participate in explaining their thinking. Also, having students write on their own think paper will provide the teachers with an artifact to determine the effectiveness of the lesson and our prompts.
The educators also want to learn what types of mathematical statements students will come up with to describe and make comparisons of different tabular representations.
7th & 8th Grade Math - Comparing Linear Functions
Cecilio Dimas , Ida Price Middle School, Cambrian School District, San José, California
SALLY KEYES: My name is Sally Keyes, and I'm a math coach at Ida Price Middle School in the Cambrian School District in San Jose, California.
CECILIO DIMAS: Hi, I'm Cecilio Dimas. I am a 7th and 8th grade math teacher at Price Middle School in San Jose, California.
KAMALJIT SANGHA: Hello, my name is Kamaljit Sangha, and I teach 7th/8th at Ida Price Middle School, Cambrian School District, in San Jose.
SALLY KEYES: What is a re-engagement lesson, and why are we actually doing the lesson that we're doing today?
KAMALJIT SANGHA: A re-engagement lesson is a little bit different than a re-teach lesson. A re-teach lesson is where you give the students more practice using the same strategy. And sometimes you might give them practice but a little bit different strategy or a new strategy. Whereas in re-engagement, what happens is we analyze student work, and from that we make up prompts to bring out the mathematics, the misconceptions that the students may have, and bring it to the surface. (fade out) Using the questioning techniques, we figure out exactly what are their misconceptions and address those issues.
SALLY KEYES: Can someone tell me a little bit how we began planning this notion of the re-engagement? What was our mathematical purpose for the re-engagement lesson today as well as for our math department here at Ida Price?
KAMALJIT SANGHA: At our school, as a department, we give a MARS test called "Picking Apples." It deals with cost analysis. And it's at the third benchmark near the end of the year. And we as a staff, as a department, decided we wanted to get the students to be able to give multiple representations of that mathematics in that problem and other cost-analysis problems. (fade out) Within that, we know that the students, in each different representation, they have misconceptions. So we want to target each of those different representations and do a re-engagement lesson on that.
SALLY KEYES: The "Picking Apples" problem is a cost-analysis problem that we're giving to all the 7th graders here at Ida Price. And so we know that there are different avenues or strategies in order to determine that cost analysis piece, such as the verbal description, making a table, creating a graph or coming up with an algebraic expression. And so one of the purposes, then, for our re-engagement throughout the year was that we just didn't want kids to feel comfortable with one of those strategies in answering that "Picking Apples," but we wanted them to feel very comfortable with all of those. And so we knew that each of one of those had some particular challenging mathematical issues.
KAMALJIT SANGHA: We basically want them to realize they also are equivalent mathematically.
CECILIO DIMAS: And then that tied in to a MARS task that we gave called "Gym." After we gave the students the task and we analyzed the student work as a team, as a department, we focused on question number 2, which was heavily focused on the idea of presenting their mathematical explanation using a verbal representation. So going along with that being one of the multiple representations, we decided that we would create a re-engagement lesson based off of the "Gym" task but focusing on having the students show their thinking, their mathematical reasoning, using a verbal representation in addition to a tabular representation.
SALLY KEYES: Then we decide to go to the table next. What was our reasoning behind that?
CECILIO DIMAS: Since the "Gym" task was very heavily reliant on verbal representation, we felt that that would be a lead-in to creating a table, so that then in the future we would be able to work with them to go into graphical representation.
KAMALJIT SANGHA: We also noticed that when they were trying to answer the "Gym" problem, they were trying to come up with some sort of table. And there were different tables. So we figured that would be the first step toward it.
CECILIO DIMAS: There was this idea that that was a way to organize information and organize data, but the students weren't quite sure - just like Kamaljit just said - weren't quite sure how to organize it all.
SALLY KEYES: Continuing about the lesson for today?
CECILIO DIMAS: So then, after looking at the "Gym" task and honing in and figuring out that the tabular representation was a representation that we wanted to focus on, we created another task, another problem, called "DVD Plans," where we had three different companies with three different plans for charging their customers to rent DVD's. And we came up with a prompt that focused on at what point in time, if ever, will the three plans match up. When will the plans cost the same amount of money? So we brought in the element of cost analysis, comparing three different plans, representing it in a table, and also using verbal representation.
SALLY KEYES: And that gets back to "Gym," because in "Gym" it was that cost-analysis piece again, but just two plans. And when were they going to be costing the same, and how many visits for one versus the other.
CECILIO DIMAS: We will be working with multiple tabular representations and really focusing on how they were set up, how they were structured. And looking at whether they make mathematical sense, and whether or not they match the original DVD plans. And looking to see how they're structured. Some students may set it up in vertical columns; others might use rows. Just looking at the different ways in which a student could organize their data.
SALLY KEYES: The different kinds of representations and the tables that were going to be used in the re-engagement lesson - where did those come from? How were those developed and in what order did you decide to use them?
KAMALJIT SANGHA: We looked at student work, and we noticed certain misconceptions that they had. Certain students made separate tables, certain students made one table, and certain students have it vertically, others have it horizontally. So those are the examples we used. And also depending on where they're starting - like start at one, start at zero.
SALLY KEYES: So we selected student work that purposely addressed particular mathematical issues that we wanted to make sure kids had a good solid understanding of, in order to understand the use of a table mathematically and the equivalence with other representations.
SALLY KEYES: What do we consider to be then the big mathematical ideas that we are addressing in this particular lesson as well as what we're thinking about overall for the year as far as our lesson study re-engagement?
KAMALJIT SANGHA: Multiple representation and their equivalence. Getting that same mathematical idea from all of them.
SALLY KEYES: We realize how critically important that is because there are certain students who - they don't tend to see the equivalencies of them. They may go just to the table, or they may go just to the verbal, and sometimes they're not really comfortable with all and realize that they can actually find out the math information from a graph.
KAMALJIT SANGHA: And exposing all this to the students, all the representations.
Students have been working with tables and graphs since elementary school. However, at the middle school level, we continue to see that students have not, yet, achieved a true understanding of how to make and read a table and graph. Through our observation and student work, we have noted that students are capable of creating tables and graphs within parameters such as: being given the labels for the x-axis and y-axis, the scale, column headings on tables, and sequential lists which provide opportunity for students to rely on multiples rather that identifying the relationships between the variables. Our goal has been to provide opportunities for our students to become fluent in reading graphical representations and to understand the data presented within the graph.

The following is a list of recent campaign activities that 350 Aotearoa and our local groups have organised. For a list of institutions that have divested from fossil fuels in Aotearoa, please go here.
Global Divestment Mobilization
In May 2017, activists all over the world put pressure on various institutions to pull their funding from oil, gas and coal production. A total of 280 events occurred in 45 countries, involving thousands of people.
Here in Aotearoa (as well as Australia), we focused pulling support from the proposed Adani Coal Mine project in Carmichael, Australia.
If it goes ahead, it will be the world's largest coal mine and built directly on Aboriginal land. The mine will destroy Indigenous land, contribute to the further decimation of the Great Barrier Reef, and contribute significantly to climate change in general.
In Wellington, we brought rising sea levels to the Australian High Commission to highlight the effects climate change will have on Wellington, and to tell Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull to quit funding the Adani Carmichael coal mine.
In Auckland, we rallied outside the Australian Consulate…with a twist. As the Australian government is so keen to support the coal mine, we thought they might like a few more climate deniers in their midst to make them a bit more comfortable. We arrived dressed as dinosaurs, Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull, and other politicians, and gave away Australian visas to climate deniers.
In Christchurch, we celebrated Westpac's decision to withdraw funding from the Adani Coal Mine, and congratulated Westpac for taking positive steps towards reducing their impact on our planet.
In Dunedin, we took bold, creative action to let ANZ know that investing in fossil fuels is still not okay. We "Rick-Rolled" the bank, flooding into the bank and blasting Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up."
Westpac pulls out of giant Adani coal mine
Due to a groundswell of pressure from climate activists from Australia and New Zealand, Westpac finally committed not to fund the giant coal mine in Queensland, Australia: The Adani Carmichael coal mine. We are now working on getting the Australian government to halt its support of the mine.
NZ Super Fund campaign
Funding giant, Vanguard International, stated that it would base its ethical investment principles on the New Zealand Superannuation Fund. This means that if NZ Super Fund divests from fossil fuels, there will be a domino effect due to Vanguard also divesting. Multiple KiwiSavers use Vanguard as a fund provider, so if they divest, it will make divestment a lot easier for KiwiSaver schemes (see below).
KiwiSaver campaign
News of the default KiwiSaver funds' investments in cluster bombs shocked people around the country. In addition, these funds are also invested in fossil fuels, which have similar destructive abilities to weapons – the climate catastrophes they cause decimate entire villages, towns, and ecosystems.
The new KiwiSaver scheme, Simplicity, has the power to pressure funding giant Vanguard International to go Fossil Free. We put told them to pressure Vanguard to divest from fossil fuels.
We are currently focusing on educating people about their KiwiSaver funds, so they can make their own decisions about where to put their money (see current campaigns).
Auckland Council divests from coal, oil and gas
After a long campaign from volunteers at 350 Auckland, Auckland Council announced on April 11, 2017 that they would fully divest from fossil fuels.
Auckland Council pulled its more than $15 million out of oil companies like Exxon and Anadarko. They are now consistent with their commitment to the C40 Initiative, and their a Low Carbon Action Plan.
University of Canterbury partially divests
In April 2017, University of Canterbury announced that they would pull all of their direct investments from fossil fuel companies, and keep indirect investments below 1%.
University of Otago divests
On September 13, 2016, Otago University announced that they were withdrawing their investments in coal, gas and oil. This was a hard-won campaign that took a huge amount of work by dedicated students, staff and supporters. Much celebrating was had. Otago University is the second New Zealand university to divest from fossil fuels, after Victoria University of Wellington.
ANZ pulls out of Petroleum Conference sponsorship
ANZ was previously a gold level sponsor of the Petroleum Conference, where New Zealand government and leading companies in the oil industry came together to discuss the dirty future of New Zealand's energy. Due to pressure from 350 Aotearoa's protests, ANZ chose not to sponsor the 2016 Petroleum Conference!
Break Free Aotearoa
Break Free from Fossil Fuels 2016 was a global movement to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground. For two weeks in May, more than 30,000 people across the world participated in peaceful actions to demand that fossil fuels stay in the ground.
Here in New Zealand, 500 motivated enthusiasts and local volunteers from 350 Aotearoa around the country were involved in peaceful protests against fossil fuels. Break Free Aotearoa's campaign targeted ANZ bank, due to ANZ being the largest lender to fossil fuel projects in Australasia. Break free in Aotearoa was launched with a beach party! Then, ANZ banks in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin were blockaded and and/or shutdown by protesters standing up for the environment. A big thank you to everyone involved!
Dunedin City Council divests
In May 2015, Dunedin City Council voted to divest all shares in fossil fuel extraction companies, allowing 2 years for full divestment.
Christchurch City partially divests
In 2014, Christchurch City Holding Limited decided on a policy not to invest in "companies whose primary focus is the extraction and production of fossil fuels." This has been deemed as a partial divestment, and we look to hold Christchurch to exclude all companies involved in any fossil fuel activity in the future.

At the closing of the last academic year, PNC Bank, Seton Hall's primary personal banking system, decided to close its branch office in the cafeteria and remove the ATM from Xavier Hall because the machines were being underutilized.
The moves were made in part because of the rising popularity of mobile banking. But since not everyone uses cell phones for banking, Seton Hall's Department of Financial Services has searched for ways to continue to provide banking services on campus. The department sent out a request for proposals from banks near and around South Orange over the summer. The proposals are being analyzed now and a decision is expected by late October.
In the meantime, Financial Services has arranged for PNC to leave the ATM in the University Center based on a one-year extension from July.
"We went out to numerous banks; we went back and forth to get clarification and data," said Stephen Graham, the University's chief financial officer. "We realized it was going to take longer to finish that (request for proposal) process so we reached out to PNC to extend the program."
The spot that was once a PNC branch in the cafeteria will continue to be used by Student Services to offer face-to-face help and information for students until a permanent use for it is found.
