Billing Questions and Answers
Who submits my claim to the insurance company?
HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital submits claims directly to insurance carriers for services rendered. If we are unable to obtain sufficient information regarding a patient's insurance coverage at the time of registration, it is the patient's responsibility to contact Customer Service within 5 business days. This will ensure that the claim is processed and appropriate benefits are paid by the insurance company within the timely requirements.
When can I expect to receive a bill?
I cannot pay my entire balance in full; what should I do?
Contact Customer Service. Refer to the Contact Us section of the bill for hours and phone numbers. We can explain our available payment plans. We have financial assistance programs available to assist patients who have no insurance, do not qualify for government programs, or cannot afford to pay for their healthcare. If you are unable to pay your bill, please check our Financial Assistance page and download a financial assistance application.
I've never been to the hospital; why did I receive a bill?
You may receive a bill from the hospital when your physician uses our laboratory services, even if you did not visit St. Joseph's Hospital for testing.
Why did I receive more than one bill?
Hospital services are billed separately from professional physician charges. You may, therefore, receive separate bills from the physicians who serve you, such as your family physician, anesthesiologist, radiologist, etc. If you have questions regarding a bill from a provider other than the hospital, we ask that you contact that provider directly.
I believe a charge on my bill is in error. How can I have this charge removed?
Determine who sent you the bill and then contact that office to discuss the charge.
Can you change the diagnosis code for my services in order for my insurance to pay the claim?
The Billing Office cannot change the diagnosis code. We can verify the diagnosis provided on the order. Requests to the change the written order should be discussed with the ordering physician.
My services were pre-authorized; why didn't my insurance pay (or pay more) on my claim?
Authorization of services is not a guarantee of payment. Authorizations do not take into account deductibles, co-pays, or amounts in excess of benefit limits. If you feel your insurance underpaid your claim, contact your insurance company for assistance.
How can I pay my bill?
St. Joseph's offers multiple payment methods. We accept cash, check, money order and most major credit cards. If you choose to pay in cash, please pay in person. Cash is accepted in the Customer Service Office. We encourage everyone to include the payment stub with payment to ensure proper credit to your account.
Can you tell me if my services will be covered and how much I will owe for these services?
We are unable to determine what services will be paid by your plan. Each plan is different and covered services, deductible and co-pays also vary according to each individual plan. We recommend you contact your insurance company to obtain information on covered services, deductibles and co-payments.
Can you tell me if you have a contract with my insurance so I can have services provided at your facility? A list of insurance companies we have contracted with is available on the website, in our waiting rooms and at each Registration desk. However, some individual plans have specific clauses, which base reimbursement on preferred providers or facilities. The insurance may be responsible for a larger deductible or co-pay depending on where the service is provided. The insured should consult with their insurance prior to receiving services.
When will the Medicare secondary payor questionnaire (MSP) be completed?
An admitting representative will complete the Medicare secondary payor questionnaire (MSP) when you arrive for your surgery, test or procedure. Federal law requires that providers of medical services to Medicare beneficiaries determine whether or not there is other insurance coverage for the beneficiary that should be billed before a claim is submitted to Medicare.
Providers, such as hospitals, must be able to document that they have screened for other insurance coverage by asking the beneficiary questions which will identify if other insurance is available. The Medicare questionnaire contains all of the necessary questions that need to be asked of the beneficiary to determine if there is other insurance that is primary to Medicare. Accurately completing the Medicare secondary payor questionnaire ensures expedient payments to providers, as well as compliance with Medicare rules and regulations.
Do I need to bring my insurance card?
Yes. The hospital needs a copy of your insurance card in order to verify coverage and to determine if pre-certification is required for an inpatient admission or other services.
What is pre-certification and how does it happen?
The basic definition of pre-certification is obtaining approval from the insurer for patient services prior to treatment. Pre-certification is a critical element for payment of services. For surgical cases, the physician's office is responsible for obtaining pre-certification. The doctor has access to the patients' medical history and indication for the procedure. It is advisable for you to do a follow-up with your doctor to ensure that this process has occurred. Failure to have a surgery, test or procedure pre-certified could result in reduced or denied benefits by the insurance carrier.

The world celebrates Earth Day on April 22. At RAFT (Resource Area For Teaching), every day is Earth Day. RAFT recycles more than 140,000 cubic feet of materials each year into engaging learning tools for students.
RAFT was founded in 1994 with foundations in a simple yet powerful idea; students learn best when they are active in the learning process. Hands-on learning has been proven to deliver a richer, deeper understanding to students, especially with STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects. For twenty years now, providing educators with the hands-on learning ideas, inspiration, materials, training and support has been RAFT's mission.
Providing affordable hands-on education tools that engage students and increase their learning comprehension is achieved by upcycling donated materials from local businesses that would otherwise end up in landfills. For instance, what happens to the plastic caps manufactured for juice bottles when the diameter is just a millimeter smaller than required to ensure a tight seal and the freshness of the contents? Imagine, too, what happens to the hundreds or thousands of all those slightly defective caps that cannot be used for their intended purpose.
Materials like bottle caps are donated to RAFT and "upcycled" into math game pieces and musical instruments for young learners. The Germinator RAFT Activity Kit makes use of another often discarded item, a clear CD case, to create a window display into the wondrous world of plant growth. This kit provides the viewer with an unobstructed view of sprouting seeds and an experience in scientific methods of observation and measuring. Donated materials are often part of the inspiration for RAFT's pre-packaged Activity Kits, which are used to create a build-it-yourself learning experience for students.
The practice of upcycling has resulted in awards for sustainability from Acterra, an environmental education and action nonprofit, and San Mateo County for RAFT Activity Kits. "As an educator, I have used RAFT materials for over 20 years with thousands of students," said Nancy Meyer, K-12 art teacher and camp programs instructor. "The materials RAFT provides give students early on the idea of the multipurpose use of ordinary items to make, design, and spark the creator in all of us." Upcycling delivers an abundance of affordable hands-on learning materials and supplies for educators and their students while also diverting roughly 400 cubic feet of materials from landfills each and every day.
RAFT was recently re-certified as a Bay Area Green Business, a program that is part of the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to help companies make the switch to green business practices. "Our commitment to the practice of sustainability extends to RAFT's internal operations' practices," stated Doug Lang, RAFT Director of Operations. "One of RAFT's core values is ensuring standards of environmental practice are in place like the use of certified green cleaning products, the proper disposal of light bulbs and batteries, and the installation of water aerators to reduce water usage."
In addition to a steady and usable supply of donated materials, RAFT relies heavily on community support like the thousands of dependable, hard-working volunteers who assemble the hands-on Activity Kits. Financial support from donors underwrites the true costs of what RAFT has to offer its member base of educators. A nonprofit organization, RAFT serves 12,000 educators each year who teach more than 900,000 students. Find out more about RAFT and how to get involved at http://www.raft.729solutions.com.

MicroMax. Spice. Tianyu. Maxx Mobile. Videocon. Karbonn.
These are some of the hundreds of small cell phone makers that are eating up market share across the developing world. By Gartner's latest quarterly numbers, the top 10 cell phone makers -- including all the big names you know like Nokia, Samsung, LG, Apple, RIM, and HTC -- only control about 64 percent of the market. Since 2004, cell phone makers outside the top 10 have doubled their market share.
The sheer number of phones these smaller players are producing is staggering. They sold 153 million units, including the very popular grey market phones in China. The Shenzhen area alone pumps out one billion phones per year, according to a China Daily article. One city, 1,000,000,000 phones!
Just who are these companies? There are several tiers of companies. At the bottom are thousands of mom-and-pop factories that sell some small number of phones. It's unclear how many of them there are because they often sell into the gray market, but they number in the thousands, so the total number of phones they sell is quite large. We're talking tens of millions of phones.
The next tier up is composed of tiny manufacturers that sell on the order of 100,000 units a quarter, according to Neil Shah, an analyst at Strategy Analytics. These 400 to 500 companies are located mostly in China and India. Taken together, they sell about 30 million phones a quarter, which is 10 million more than Apple does in the same time. Of course, we're not talking about iPhone 5s here. These are cheap and simple phones designed for the cell phone buyers with the least money.
But not every phone maker outside the top 10 is a tiny factory in Shenzhen. Some of the next tier of companies -- those who are outside the top 10 but inside the top 40 -- are promising. A few might end the next HTC, the Taiwanese* company that burst onto the international market in recent years.
Right now, MicroMax, the top domestic Indian phone maker, is probably the leading candidate for "most promising phone maker outside the OECD and China." Shah reckons they are now the 12th leading mobile phone maker in the world, just behind the legendary Sony-Ericsson and ahead of big Chinese competitors like Lenovo. MicroMax's tagline, "Nothing Like Anything" is a bit misleadingas most of MicroMax's phones are almost exactly like everything. Nonetheless, any company that goes from making 0 phones to several million in a few years deserves to be recognized. Other domestic Indian manufacturers to keep an eye include Spice, Maxx Mobiles, and Karbonn.
Overall, the mobile phone market is more interesting than it might appear at first. In the American press, it seems like a dogfight between Apple and Google, Nokia is in the tank, and no one really pays attention to the manufacturers in the developing world. But the retail numbers tell a different story. Nokia is still the biggest-selling brand in the world. Apple is a relatively small player in the global phone game. And there is incredible fragmentation in the marketplace. Long-term, one expects that consolidation, particularly in China and India, but for now, it's a wild market where any number of today's tiny companies could be tomorrow's giants.

Ready, set…go?
In 48 hours, I will (hopefully) be on a plane somewhere above the Atlantic on my way to Paris. I'll be in Paris for six weeks as part of a study abroad program, and will be taking two classes while I'm there.
As excited as I am, right now my nerves are outweighing the positives — but I know that once I'm on that plane on my way there I'll have no choice but to accept the challenges and amazing opportunities in my near future. Many daunting thoughts run through my mind as I realize this trip will include many personal firsts. My first international solo flight, first time in a foreign country without my parents, first time using French in two and a half years, first time living with a host family, etc. And on top of that, there are still small, yet very important, tasks I have yet to complete before my trip…like packing.
In my final day and a half in the US for a couple months I'm sure I'll be running around like crazy trying to get everything ready, but I'm looking forward to the many adventures I'm sure to have during my time abroad. I'll try to update my blog as often as I can, so hopefully friends and family at home can keep up with my experiences. A bientot!

Good morning !
This is my latest offering for Swedish House Crafts …………..
Sometimes it's nice to take a small gift to dinner with friends other than a bottle of wine, so this little gift bag is ideal to fill with some chocolates or mints to have with coffee after the meal.
I used a simple template I had to make the gift bag and then stamped and die cut some coffee images from Swedish House Crafts to dress it when assembled.
Firstly I blended Bundled Sage Distress Ink on to the toppers to go on the gift bag and stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
All the stamped images were matted onto gold cardstock and stuck on the bag.
Then I die cut the cup and beans using gold card and some scraps of card again coloured with the same ink.
A piece of gold cord to attach the coffee cup to the bag and we're done.
The list of supplies with links to Swedish House Crafts is as follows –

Toronto call girls are really useful in recuperating after separation. If you are searching for a lasting relationship, Toronto call girls will prove to be the best ones for you. An escort can break the cycle of feeling miserable really well. You can get laid a couple times and feel better about yourself. You can take an ideal opportunity to give the relationship a chance to create and have a good chance of discovering "intimate romance" with an escort.
When you are with Toronto call girls, you are going to get laid. You don't need to stress on "if"; it does not matter why you want to get laid, whether you have some issues bothering you or just for the sake of fun. Being with an escort just means you will be having a relaxing time, any which way. What's more, using services of an escort does not imply that you need to surrender free sex or seeking after a relationship. Actually, being with an escort may improve your life so much that you get all the more free sex, have better sex and become super appealing to ladies that you will locate your one genuine romance, if that is what you are searching for.
Toronto call girls are pros and can show you progressive sexual methods, as they are well aware of those. They are open to several questions about call girls that many people won't even talk about; forget experience. Toronto call girls can help you hone your sexual aptitudes really well. When you get over the "paying for it" boundary, you will understand that it is truly a good deal. What you get is steamy session on the bed with a chick who is by and large preferred for it over any normal woman, without the expense and entanglements of free sex.
The Toronto call girls have been with a considerable number of men and they know things about sex that you may not know. Hence, the experience and learning is something to look forward to. In the event that you converse with most professionals, they will let you know that a normal man has no idea about what a woman really wants. Also, in case you are willing to set some sense of self aside and take in, these ladies can show you things that will inspire the hell fire out of civilian ladies. So being with an escort is an incredible chance to hone your style too.
If you just got separated or dumped and you are harming yourself and need somebody to be with, being with Toronto Call Girls is an incredible approach to recoup from a lost relationship. No, it isn't the same as "genuine romance," however it can improve how you feel about yourself and help you work back your certainty so that you are utilitarian and alluring to ladies once more. Ladies like men who are sure and they are repelled by men who are sexually poor. That is the reason when you have to get laid the most, and in case you lack self-assurance, ladies would prefer not to be with you. Now, this is the scenario where escort administration assumes an essential part in the public eye. They help men get the much desired pleasure, after a hectic day at office. Not surprisingly, you can even call them to get away with your boredom, and spend time touching, kissing, and fondling with those priceless assets of the sexy sirens.

Toukiden: Kiwami Demo Coming to EU PSN in March
Demo is almost demon. The link is there! The relationship is real!
Anyone who's a fan of games like Monster Hunter and owns a PlayStation Vita will have heard somewhere about Koei Tecmo game Toukiden: Age of Demons. Offering a similar style of gameplay but with its own unique features, Toukiden found its way into the loving hearts of many upon its original release last year. The next entry in the series, Toukiden: Kiwami is due for release in March and gamers will be able to get their hands on a demo just before the game is launched.
Becoming available March 25th in Europe (no news yet as to when a North American one will be online), the Toukiden: Kiwami demo will offer plays two distinct ways in which to play the game. The first, titled the "Introductory Demo" will give players the opportunity to go through the games opening two chapters, while also being able to fully customize their own hunter. You'll also be able to equip your hunter with one of the three new weapons. These are the Rifle, Club, and Naginata.
The second mode is comprised of "Special Missions". They have been designed especially for this demo and are there to set down two different things. Fans of the original Toukiden: Age of Demons should expect to appreciate the difficulty of these tasks as they'll more closely represent later game content. For new players, it'll give them a glimpse at just how challenge Toukiden: Kiwami will become later in the game. Clearing all of these will open up a glimpse to Chapter 8 where the newer "Kiwami" section of the game begins.
While this demo is intended to get newcomers to the series hook, long-time fans will find themselves given a bevy of features to look upon and get excited about. The main draw for fans is that some new Oni, the enemies faced in these games, will be shown off.
The game is scheduled for release on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita March 27 on all platforms and in western regions.
Are you tempted by Toukiden: Kiwami? Did you enjoy the original Age of Demons? Let us know down below.

Today I have the pleasure of presenting an interview with Lane Kareska, the author of the recently released North Dark. I've worked closely with Lane on this project for Sirens Call Publications and am thrilled to see it come into fruition. So let's take a moment and introduce you all to him…
Lane was born in Houston, studied writing at Columbia College Chicago and his MFA is from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where he was awarded a Fellowship to live and write in Ireland. He traveled Europe and South America to research his graduate thesis. Lane teaches creative writing and work in technology and new media. His fiction has shown up in Berkeley Fiction Review, Sheepshead Review, Flashquake and elsewhere.
Lane is deeply addicted to comic books, thrillers in all forms, and the most lethal Chicago cuisine.
Welcome Lane. Tell us about your writing process?
My writing process is basically writing a painfully appalling first draft, and then trusting that through the next hundred or so drafts, the true story will emerge.
It really is an iterative process. I'm not sure how many "drafts" North Dark went through but I know the number was crazy high. I basically locked myself away, put my head down, and hacked away at it for a winter. Writing is one thing, but rewriting is where the knives come out. A high draft volume is critical. My feeling is that anyone who has ever produced a perfect first draft is probably either divine or a liar.
Is there a genre, other than the one you currently write in, that you wish you could break into?
The majority of my favorite books are actually spy novels; however, it's not necessarily the spying that engages me. More often than not, what grabs me in spy novels is a combination of the travel, the propulsive motion of the plot, and the sex and action.
My graduate thesis was a spy novel and I'm actively researching and working in that genre. North Dark is not, in any real sense, a spy novel. However, there is common blood: the rogue protagonist, the driving momentum, the swift and concussive nature of the violence, and maybe even the dry gray moral center. But I dunno. When I think of North Dark and its genre, the conclusion I always come to is Dark Fantasy—which is to say people get hurt with bladed weapons.
What are the 5 books that have influenced you the most, and why?
A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. LeGuinn is a phenomenal novel that can be read at almost any age. That's a book I'll always have on my shelf and I expect to learn something different from it every time I return to it. In addition to being a deeply instructional fantasy text, it's also an exceedingly proficient hero's journey. It's one of those books that could be stripped of all the cool stuff—the dragons, the invented history, the naming systems—and you'd still have an exact and perfect template of a hero's journey, because of that, it is a book that would speak to almost anyone, from anywhere, from anytime.
Doctor No by Ian Fleming was the fifth book featuring the character James Bond and it's also probably the most outlandish. Bond fights a man-eating squid at the end. This novel in particular is probably the best example of the difference between Spy Fiction and what's called Spy-Fi. Bourne would be Spy Fiction, Our Man Flint would be Spy Fi. Doctor No is rife with absurd action, exotic locales, barely clothed women, it's an utter blast. Pure fun.
Dune by Frank Herbert was a book I had to force myself to read, but I was very glad I did. It's similar to A Wizard of Earthsea in some respects, but a key difference is that Herbert is never content to suggest or imply anything in his world-building. He follows every line of thought, every stream of invention and explores thoroughly the universe he has envisioned. My style is probably starker than that, veering toward minimal, however, Dune inspired me to try to explore the world of North Dark as comprehensively as a sociologist would a new culture. Very little of that content is in the text directly, but it's encoded in the spirit of the book, it supports the narrative, and hopefully its presence is felt, and the world of North Dark is more persuasive for it.
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck reads like a thriller, disguised as a parable, and it clocks in at, what, less than 200 pages? This is the book that I think of when I consider the term "novella." If it were any longer—if it was overstuffed—the tension would probably just erode. But as it's written, it's swift, totally engaging, and in the end, fist-to-the-nose concussive.
X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, this isn't a book necessarily, but a comic book crossover event from the mid-1990s that just utterly blew my mind. It's collected now in a series of trade paperbacks, I think over four volumes, and I can't say if it still stands up, but when I read it as a kid, it was like I was discovering Star Wars for the first time. Age of Apocalypse reimagines the entire history of the Marvel Universe as an apocalyptic wasteland in which Charles Xavier never formed the X-Men. The results are unpleasant: Africa is an irradiated black hole, Manhattan is a devastated blight-kingdom, and all of the character motives and relationships are reshuffled in sometimes disturbing ways. That was my first introduction into Post-Apocalyptic fiction.
If you could cast one of your works, who would you choose to play your main characters?
The main character of North Dark is a young man named Two Crows who—and this is the truth—I think has more in common physically with Jack Skellington than any actor I can think of. He's a wiry, resilient guy who takes more than a few beatings throughout the story and by the end he's a vastly different Two Crows than the one we meet at the beginning. He takes some beatings, but he gives as good as he gets.
What is the first thing you would do if you woke up one morning to find one of your books on the NY Times Bestsellers List?
Check my bank account.
Do you have any vices that you turn to while you are writing?
I drink a lot of liquids, listen to a lot of music, I talk to myself. The act of writing is itself a little vice-like: it's private, weird, best done at night, in the dark, alone.
What do you do when you're not writing?
My favorite things in the world are reading, writing and traveling. That's all I've ever wanted to do. And also, for me, those activities are cooperative; they feed into one another. Reading and travel are symbiotic, and the more I do of either, the more I want to write.
And now here are the first 9 lines of North Dark:
Treesplitter sees that his sons neither hear nor understand him, so he waves his whipping torch and they all spread out to search the ice caves. His sons are capable, not useless. His gloved hand clenches the stalk of the torch as he enters the ribbed blue socket of a nameless tunnel he played in many times as a child and teenager. The windhowl shuts off as he passes into the low slung shaft. The light of his torch flaps on the icerimed ceiling and walls. Once he is far enough within to no longer feel the sharp scrape of wind on his face, he throws back his foxfur hood, searches the ground for footprints in the frost, and sees none. That does not mean he is in no danger. That does not mean the fugitive is not just ahead of him, hiding in the dark, blade drawn. Treesplitter grips his sharpest knife and advances quietly.
Where do you find your inspiration?
I'm inspired by place probably more than anything. When I was writing my graduate thesis, I got to travel Europe and those six months were at least as beneficial to me personally as any one year spent in the classroom.
Walking around a city—especially a new city—is about the most inspirational thing I can do. I'm lucky now because I live in a part of Chicago that's really conducive to walking around. After work, I walk to my bar, walk to the library or a café to write, walk back home to write some more, take another walk to figure out whatever problem I'm having with the writing, then walk back home. Writing is pretty sedentary, so it's good to move and get some blood in your brain. But the larger issue of inspiration is, for me, deeply associated with place. The setting of North Dark is a frozen wasteland, a horrific tundra in the grips of a second Iron Age, and that is very much reflective of the place where it was written: Northwest Indiana during a long, cold winter. It's a landscape that pretty neatly mirrors the world of North Dark; shuttered industrial compounds, thick expanses of woods, waves frozen in heaps on the shoreline. A lot of that—I suppose all of that—was inspiration that made its way into the book.
Now let's take a look at the book – North Dark…
Set in a lonesome and barbarous failed state, North Dark is the story of a lone man traveling by dogsled across a frozen wasteland in pursuit of the fugitive who destroyed his family.
Haunted by predators both physical and spectral, the musher's journey takes him across a deadened tundra, tortured cities and the remains of civilizations long-lapsed into madness. All the while, his enemy slides in and out of striking distance, always one step ahead, always one act of violence away.

PINT SIZED POLAR EXPRESS — Santa and Mrs. Claus wave good-bye to the crowd gathered at the depot in Shingle Springs as they take off in a speeder car toward the town of El Dorado. The event sponsored by the Folsom, El Dorado, & Sacramento Historical Railroad Association gave train enthusiasts the thrill of riding the rails from Shingle Springs to El Dorado Saturday. Demaocrat photo by Pat Dollins
Biking, hiking and equestrian activities will not be designated as the "priority" use for the El Dorado Trail. Neither will excursion trains or other rail sports be designated the "priority" activity.
After four hours of testimony and discussion Tuesday evening, the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors opted to withdraw a proposed resolution that would have set non-railroad pursuits as the county's priority for the Sacramento-Placerville Transportation Corridor.
Under the provisions of the national Rails to Trails Act, the county or other jurisdiction can determine how a former railroad right of way may be used — with one major caveat. No matter what activity may be contemplated on the land, it must be clearly designated as an "interim" use. The federal law basically states that in the event commercial railroading becomes viable again in the future, the right of way must be readily convertible back to rail use. The law does not promote one use over another but specifies only that significant impediments to future rail use not be erected.
Passions have run high over the past year as proponents of restoring rail traffic along the 26-mile route from Placerville to Folsom have competed with hiking and cycling groups for acquiring a measure of control over the right of way.
Supervisor John Knight eventually withdrew his proposed resolution in favor of allowing leaders of the two rival factions to come together and bring potential areas of agreement and cooperation back to the board in March.
Jeff Sellwood of Friends of the El Dorado Trail and Jim Harville of the Sacramento Valley Railroad organization agreed to work together to resolve outstanding points of contention regarding future use of the right of way. Harville's group proposes to operate excursion trains over some portion of the tracks between Folsom and Shingle Springs or possibly to El Dorado.
Friends of the El Dorado Trail has focused on creating a "trail of national significance," as described by Mike Kenison, a member of that board. Kenison told the Mountain Democrat in a phone call Wednesday that his group viewed the non-resolution as a bit of a setback, but "the vision is still there, and our group has really raised a lot of awareness about trail issues."
"Although we don't have priority, we will work with different groups, such as the Board of Supervisors and Department of Transportation to do what we can," Kennison said
"One of the most important things we've done is searched for the facts and painted a realistic picture of what the trail can mean. There are so many trails in the country that generate tremendous revenue, and this could become one," Kenison said.
The El Dorado Western Railway Foundation represents another point of view. As the "living history component" of the county's railroad park in El Dorado, a subsidiary of the El Dorado County Museum, foundation volunteers have put in thousands of hours clearing brush and renovating equipment. Their near-term goal is to operate a historically authentic train generally between Missouri Flat Road and the park in El Dorado.
Keith Berry is a museum commissioner for the county, director of the foundation and project manager. He and his group have restored rolling stock and repaired rails and ties over the three-mile stretch to enable local rail history to "come alive."
Berry said the rail buffs generally appreciated the "clarity" that came out of Tuesday's meeting, that is, "that no one venue has priority" on the right of way and that consistency with the county's General Plan and relevant master plans would prohibit exclusivity of one use over another.
He further noted that wild rumors to the contrary, "Amtrak won't be coming up the hill, and our use limits us to 10 mph; we have nowhere to go in a hurry," he quipped.
"We're on the road to proving ourselves to the community," Berry continued. "And we're going to be good citizens."
Berry also concluded that "there are ways of engineering" the roadbed that would accommodate multiple use activities, and he said he is optimistic that some workable compromises can be developed to "facilitate sharing" of the land.
Supervisors Knight and Jack Sweeney will represent the county in the ad hoc group tasked with exploring areas of common interest and points of conflict between potential user groups.

This project continues in 2017. More details will be uploaded soon. Please call back.
Andrew Dempster will be returning to Central Australia in April to finalise the extension of the school orchard and finalise plans for garden construction at Ulpanyali. Andrew will be accompanied by Aman Dosanj, a chef and Slow Food colleague from Canada who is on an extenstive food tour of New Zealand and Australia.
Feedback from Wanmara is that the work done in September 2015 has been very successful.
this project has now been running for over two years and has the potential to make an extraordinary difference to the ability of locals to obtain fresh food. We are proud of our association with the local Indigenous elders who have allowed us to be part of this project.
Andrew Dempster again visited the region in March, 2015. Funding for the March trip (airfares, accommodation and transport) was provided by the Lilla foundation in return for Andrew conducting three days of intensive food-related community service work with a visiting school group.
The long term success of getting remote communities to provide their own fresh food requirements, with assistance from Slow Food Hunter Valley, is a three to five year program – mainly due to the need for a very strong educative element. We can always make the food available, but the transformation is to get the communities to do this of their own volition and that means bringing about some fundamental change in the the community thinks about food.
Funding is parlous. We have about $7000 from Australia Post for fencing and gates. This will all be consumed in July 2015, when fences, gates, plants and "soil" are put in place.
In July 2014, Mark Brown and Andrew Dempster volunteered their time to help build gardens for fresh food in three remote indigenous communities, Lilla, Wanmara and Upanyali. In September, 2014 Andrew returned to Central Australia to assist with planting of seeds and seedlings at Wanmara and Lilla. No work has been done at Upanyali as yet.
At Wanmara, Mark established a series of mandalas. At Lilla there were three gardens established – the garden at Lilla Public School, Lilla Foundation garden and a community orchard.
A word from Mark Brown
"I was privileged to be asked to assist in the Fresh Food Gardens in Central Australia project by designing a garden in the Wanmarra Community near Kings Canyon in the Northern Terrority. The initial design went extremely well and a garden was commenced along with compost heaps and propagation to ensure a start towards bringing fresh food to the Wanmarra and Lilla communities. A large part of the project was to design a local indigenous food garden to support the conventional food garden and to provide a place for education and support "Ark of Taste" species in the region."

English sparkling wine was our theme for the early July tasting and as the temperature gauge hit 35 degrees we sweltered through a fabulous selection of top class fizz from Hampshire, West Sussex and Dorset, assisted by some examples from Champagne, Franciacorta and Argentina.
English fizz is on the ascendant and the wines are regularly winning top awards in international wine competitions not only in their own categories but against top quality sparklers from around the world.
Hattingley Valley is not a name that rolls off the tongue but is creating a big stir in Alton, Hampshire. We tasted the classic cuvee, blanc de blancs and the phenomenal Kings cuvee – recently awarded 96 points in a Decanter tasting. The estate is predominantly planted with Chardonnay followed by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. All the wines were elegant, well balanced and fresh, with the Kings Cuvee showing extra richness thanks to the barrique fermentation of the base wines.
We also tasted through an eclectic selection from Nyetimber. This estate, based near Horsham, has become the most important producer of fizz in the UK and now has 160 hectares under vine.
The 2007 from magnum was superb, the Rose 2009 was a delicious fresh and fruity example and the unusual demi-sec was a revelation. Sweet but not cloying and would have been perfect with some cheese or a fruit dessert.
Overall, everyuone marvelled at the quality – they are not cheap but definitely holding their own against some serious competition.

Crowns and Bridges
When teeth are heavily decayed they are more likely to fracture and may be too weak to survive with just a filling. The greater risk is that a fracture line may go below the margin of the gum which makes restoration more difficult or near impossible. By placing a crown, a tooth may be given a new lease of life.
Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. Even when a single tooth is lost a denture may not be required as a bridge can be made which spans the gap with a tooth attached to those next to the space. Sometimes when a single small tooth is lost at the front of the mouth a simple bridge can be made which has 'wings' that are glued to the back of the adjacent teeth.
Both crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Unlike removable devices such as dentures, which you can take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist.

For the youngest children, rear-facing seats are designed to be at a 45-degree angle so that your baby's head is supported, making it easier for him or her to breathe. A snug harness will keep your baby safe in a sudden stop. The seat itself protects your child from the forces of the crash.
Forward-facing seats are made to spread the force of a crash evenly over the strongest parts of your growing child's body: shoulders, chest and hips. The harness straps are narrower than vehicle seat belt straps and fit children's small shoulders. In a crash, the seat and harness work together and bring your child to a "controlled stop" with less chance of being hurt. It is important to correctly attach the tether strap.
Booster seats help the seat belt stay in place and protect your child if you have a crash.
Seat belts keep older children and adults from being thrown around inside or out of the car during a sudden stop or crash.
This chart shows the weight range of children for all four stages. All child seats are different so make sure you read the label carefully to ensure the child fits the seat before you buy it.

Here are some key things to remember when it comes to children's safety in your vehicle:

Tips for Avoiding Slips and Falls
Falls are the leading cause of injury in the workplace. Keep these tips in mind to avoid an injury:
- As you walk, keep an eye on the floor in front of you for spills.
- If you see a spill, never just walk by it. Always clean it up or call someone to clean it up.
- Wear nonskid shoes when you work in kitchens, outdoors, or any other place where you will commonly be walking on slippery surfaces.
- Never climb on shelving units or storage units to get things. Use only approved ladders.
Some Common Sense
Use basic common sense in your daily comportment around the office. That means:
- Sit upright in your chair, with your feet touching the floor when you're working at your desk. Before sitting down, look to make sure your chair is beneath you and hasn't rolled away.
- Look where you're going whenever you're walking around the office.
- If you've got to carry anything from one place to another, don't stack things up so high that you can't see directly in front of you.
- Walk, don't run.
- Go slowly if the floor is wet or otherwise slippery.
- Don't read while walking.
- Always hold the handrail when using stairs.
- When carrying boxes, use the elevator if available.
- Only open one drawer in a filing cabinet at a time to keep it from tipping over.
- Close desk or file cabinet drawers before walking away so others don't walk into them.
- Store supplies inside of cabinets or bookcases, and place heavier items in the lower drawers or shelves.
- Immediately wipe up spilled beverages, water tracked in by wet shoes or drippings from umbrellas. Ask a custodian to do the cleaning if you don't have time to do it yourself.
Report It
Anytime you see something unsafe, report it to your management .
Things you might want to point out include sightings of:
- Torn carpet
- Loose tiles
- Wobbly steps or floorboards
- Burned-out light bulbs
- Broken chairs or desks
- Other defective equipment
- Stray electrical cables or obstructions of walkways
- Possible unauthorized visitors

Animal Farm
4. How does the previous question connect back to Trotsky and Stalin and the modernization of Russia?
The windmill is at the center of Snowball's and Napoleon's fiercest debate. Rather than representing a specific point of debate between Trotsky and Stalin, the windmill symbolizes Soviet industry, both agricultural and factory. The narrator tells us that, up until the building of the windmill, Manor Farm has been stuck in the past. It is not technologically advanced, though other farms are. This mirrors the fact that, coming into the Soviet Era, Russia's agriculture and city industry lagged behind other civilized countries. All of the three original Soviet leaders, Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin, recognized the need for industrial progress and had varying ideas about how to pursue it. In his conception and promotion of the windmill, Snowball can be seen to take a turn as Lenin. Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP) was an attempt to stimulate Russian productivity, one that Stalin ceased and replaced with his own "windmills," the Five Year Plans. On a broader scale, the windmill represents the abstract Soviet cause toward the common good.

Alexander Calder: Hypermobility
Calder: Hypermobility focuses on the extraordinary breadth of movement and sound in the work of Alexander Calder. This exhibition brings together a rich constellation of key sculptures and provides a rare opportunity to experience the works as the artist intended—in motion. Regular activations will occur in the galleries, revealing the inherent kinetic nature of Calder's work, as well as its relationship to performance. Influenced in part by the artist's fascination and engagement with choreography, Calder's sculptures contain an embedded performativity that is reflected in their idiosyncratic motions and the perceptual responses they provoke.

The Fed Galleries @ KCAD Ring In 2018 with Pair of Exhibitions Showcasing the KCAD Community
Curious collections and academic investigations from the Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University (KCAD) community are coming to West Michigan this February in two new exhibitions at The Fed Galleries @ KCAD. Focus on KCAD | Collections and Focus on Faculty | Sabbaticals will run from February 20 through April 7, 2018.
Focus on KCAD | Collections will showcase KCAD faculty, staff, and students who have amassed quirky collections that reflect their personal identity in powerful and intriguing ways. Sculpture and Functional Art Assistant Professor Natalie Wetzel, for instance, shares her collection of childhood toy figures from 80s pop culture TV shows, which has influenced both her personality and her artistic practice.
Wetzel's collection has inspired her to write scripts, design sets and costumes, and create films mimicking the wacky world of Pee-wee's Playhouse, the colorful fearlessness of Rainbow Brite, the harmless mischievousness of Punky Brewster, and the unique narrative of Alf, an alien living among humans.

"The exhibition grapples with this idea that we are what we collect, and that those collections become an extension of the collector's vision and identity. Collections serve as social connectors, question our notions of value, create order from perceived chaos, and provide a richness that is immaterial," says KCAD Curator of Exhibitions Michele Bosak. "We invite everyone to get to know the KCAD community through the objects and possessions they hold dear, while exploring the art and the act of collecting."
Collections of one-of-a-kind dolls from around the world, vinyl records from the 1950s to the present, souvenir "floaty" pens, and many more will be on view.
Elsewhere in The Fed Galleries @ KCAD, Focus on Faculty | Sabbaticals will feature work by five tenured KCAD faculty members: Brad Yarhouse (Digital Art and Design), Stephen Halko (Drawing), Gayle DeBruyn (Collaborative Design), Jay Constantine (Painting), and Jason Alger (Graphic Design).The results from their recent sabbaticals will be shared through the exhibiting of new work along with lunch time lectures that will delve more deeply into their individual experiences and academic research.
Visitors to The Fed Galleries @ KCAD explore work from KCAD faculty members during a previous faculty sabbatical exhibition in 2015
Constantine created a new series of paintings titled "Anti-Icons." He utilized his sabbatical to research long-standing conflicts found between science and religion, as well as historic controversies concerning heresy and orthodoxy. His paintings appropriate imagery and portraits from various time periods, creating a historical memorial of those who have been persecuted. This critical examination in the realm of religion inspires reflection upon some uncomfortable realities of Christian history as well as indirectly commenting on the contemporary rise of religious extremism.
Yarhouse was equally busy, taking on a variety of roles from concept creator to animator to director to producer. His animation, music videos, and writings explore the relationship between time and space–the building blocks of sequential mediums. Yarhouse worked with The State of Michigan to develop an anti-bullying commercial, created an animated music video for local band The Crane Wives, and delivered and published a paper, "Examining Film Through the Visual Language of Comics," at the 2017 Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association(PCA/ACA) National Conference.
"KCAD values the work of its faculty. Sabbaticals are essential for faculty to pursue research, develop new bodies of work, or to deepen and enrich their teaching practice," says Bosak. "This valuable time empowers faculty to pursue their own scholarly agenda, gain a fresh perspective, and increase their impact on both their students and the college as a whole."
Both exhibitions are free and open to the public. A joint opening reception, also free and open to the public, will be held on February 20, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. inside The Fed Galleries @ KCAD. Details on the Sabbaticals faculty talks can be found on the exhibition page. For more information visit kcad.edu/galleries.

Excellent communications from the team at BSSAA helped! The machine is excellent and has an USB interface so you can download data of how many hours you are sleeping and other info which my NHS machine doesn't. The lightweight tube with the machine is slightly short but you can use one from your main machine if you need to. The machine itself is only 284 g but you have to factor in the power supply which is probably about another 150 g. I am using to go backpacking staying in hostels, so this is a life saver. It is the only machine which is small enough and light enough to fit in my 35 L rucksack with all my clothes and still fit into cabin luggage. With the excellent price I am certainly going to recommended it as a standard machine to my NHS provider. All in all highly recommended!

I am very happy with this little machine. I bought it to avoid taking my full size ResMed on a long weekend away. It performed well, was not noisy and can be packed in a small overnight bag with ease.

Having hit #10 on the Blues Albums Billboard Charts with her 5th album release titled "Take it With You," Northern California Blues Americana Siren Katie Knipp is equipped with powerful vocals and plays a variety of instruments from boogie woogie piano to slide guitar, to honest harmonica laden stories in between. Her various performance formats from raw solo act to full band captures audiences hearts from her first notes. She has opened for Robert Cray, Joan Osborne, The Doobie Brothers, Tim Reynolds, Jon Cleary, The James Hunter Six, among many others. Her sound has been compared to Larkin Poe, Bonnie Raitt, Joss Stone, Beth Hart, and what the late Taz Digregorio of the Charlie Daniels band once said, "Dylan in a Dress!"
Blues Americana artist Katie Knipp has been on a passionate musical journey her entire life. Always in choir, she was drawn to the piano at the age of 15. Since there was no piano at home, she began teaching herself on every lunch break during high school in the choir room. Beginning college, Katie believed it would be practical to major in medicine. Singing in a choir rendition of Mozart's Requiem changed her future path. The haunting beauty of the music made tears roll down her face, and she knew that, in order to follow her heart, she would dedicate herself and her studies to music. Attending U.C. Santa Cruz, Katie enjoyed the calm, serene new environment.
Driven to continually grow, she taught herself guitar on the beaches of California's coast. "The waves would drown out any mistakes I made, so that I wouldn't be embarrassed by wrong notes," says Katie. As she dug deeper into her music major, it became clear to Katie that she also wanted to write her own material. Witness to a gruesome on-campus suicide on her 21st birthday, she decide she needed a change of scenery; she transferred to Cal State Hayward, where she would earn her Bachelor's Degree in Music with an emphasis in vocal performance. The dark experience of the suicide, however, would stay with her, and became one of many events that helped mold her writing into the gutsy, soul-on-a-platter type material. To date, Katie has released four studio albums, a DVD, and played hundreds of venues throughout California. Sacramento News and Review nominated her for Best Blues Artist in Sacramento in 2017.
Readers of The Northbay Bohemian voted her band "Number One Band in Marin County" for two consecutive years. Currently laying down roots in Sacramento, Katie has worldwide radio support, has opened for such acts as Robert Cray, The James Hunter Six, Jon Cleary, The Doobie Brothers, Tim Reynolds and Tommy Castro, and shared the stage as a back up singer for Barry Manilow. Her music can be found on iTunes, many other digital mediums, as well as retail cds on www.katieknipp.com. Katie unflinchingly maintains the goal of being a viable force in the music world. Her success is largely based upon her willingness to take risks, diversify her format and learn from collaboration with others. Katie performs in several formats, from solo to full band. Equipped with a powerful voice, Katie also plays piano, guitar, dobro and harmonica. Her hard work has shaped her into a mature artist, focusing on the organic, free elements that reach people the most. She is also busy raising her two toddler boys as well as teaching piano and voice lessons in Rocklin, California.Add a heading (1)

Women Like Funny Guys . . . But Do Guys Like Funny Women?
Most people say a good sense of humor is an important thing to look for when they're dating. But according to an article from "Psychology Today", a "good sense of humor" doesn't mean the same thing to men and women.
According to at least one study, women are drawn to men who crack jokes and come up with funny comments, because it's a sign they're smart.
But guys just look for women who LAUGH at their jokes. And whether the WOMAN is funny doesn't really matter. In fact, if she's TOO funny, men start feeling threatened and lose interest.
In Germany, researchers found that the harder a woman laughs during a conversation with a male stranger, the more interested she is in dating him. And how hard she laughs also coincides with how interested the GUY is in HER.
But how much HE laughs during the conversation has nothing to do with how attracted he is. In other words, if you're cracking a guy up, it doesn't necessarily mean he's interested.
Guys also use humor differently than women do. They use it to attract women, but also to compete with each other. That's why men love coming up with nicknames and insults for their friends.
Women do it too, but not nearly as much. Instead, women tend to use humor as a way to BOND with their friends.
But none of this is set in stone. A lot of men DO like funny women. But those guys tend to be more secure, more mature, and more educated than the average guy.

A special art exhibit is now running until October 20 in the Jacob Spori Art Gallery at Brigham Young University-Idaho. The exhibit, titled "A Visual Journal," features the artwork of President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Though widely known in his capacity as a Church leader, few know the extent of President Eyring's artistic abilities. Over the past 60 years, he has created hundreds of watercolor paintings, drawings, and wood carvings. This is the first time any of the pieces have been on public display.
The public is invited to view this rare display at the institution he oversaw as President from 1971-1977. The gallery actually sits at approximately the same location as his office did in the original Spori Building, at the time he was president of Ricks College. He also did some of his first watercolor work there.
The exhibit contains only a fraction of Eyring's work. The curator of the exhibit, Kyoung Dabell, says, "We had a very difficult time narrowing it down to the 195 that you will find in the exhibit."
"It wasn't easy," Dabell said. "I received 700 unframed, five-inch by seven-inch, watercolor paintings, collected in several large binders. I was overwhelmed, as you can imagine, by the sheer number of works."
Dabell says what is perhaps most impressive about the exhibit is the breadth of Eyring's artistic capabilities.
"He is an excellent draftsman," Dabell said. "His sketches are very skillful and just amazing. He also does landscapes, ships, skies, horses, people, villages, you name it."
In addition to the paintings, several wood carvings are on display, some of which have been mentioned in various talks Eyring has delivered at general conference.
One of the most unique aspects of the artwork is the size.
"Nearly all of his paintings are very small," Dabell said. "When I asked President Eyring if he paints large, he mentioned that he feels uncomfortable spending too much time painting, because of his call to serve. He keeps his paintings small so that they won't take up too much of his time."
Admission to the exhibit is free, but tickets are required. Tickets are available at the door or may be reserved at www.byui.edu/tickets or by calling 208-496-3170.

The tanto blade's main edge is hollow-ground for excellent slicing capabilities, but that's combined with a flat-ground tip for strong piercing abilities, too. 8Cr13MoV blade steel offers solid edge-holding capability, strength, and hardness. The all-stainless-steel handle provides deep finger contours for an extremely comfortable and secure grip. Titanium carbo-nitride coating gives the Shield a subtle, no-nonsense look.
The Shield opens smoothly and easily with the built-in flipper and Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted opening. A secure frame lock with hardened steel lockbar insert and lockbar stabilizer ensures a reliable lock up. For carrying convenience, the Shield offers a four-position pocketclip for left/right, tip-up/down pocket carry.

Hey gang! I'm back and I've got something special for you today. One of the things that I do in amongst all my other MTG musings and mutterings is periodically taking the time to stop, open up a pack, and really sit down and examine the art on the cards. I know that I often just skim on by the art and often miss things, so to take a moment and really appreciate the art on the cards can be really refreshing and fun. Then, after checking out all the art I then go through and pick which one I would select first if I was going to draft based on the art on the cards. The nicest part about all of this is that likely everyone has their own opinion and taste when it comes to the art on the cards meaning that there is lots of really good discussion. So, sit back, relax, and let's enjoy an Art Draft!
Dark Dabbling
Infectious Bloodlust
Akroan Jailer
Thornbow Archer
Pharika's Disciple
Ringwarden Owl
Bellows Lizard
Topan Freeblade
Returned Centaur
Skysnare Spider
Runed Servitor
Bounding Krasis
Demonic Pact
Dark Dabbling lives up to the name, but generally feels a little lacklustre. The art is exactly what you would expect from a Black card, and most certainly comes from Liliana's early work with Necromancy, but the art seems to be lacking a little. Yes, Liliana is very prominent and the potion of Green stuff looks to be pretty sickly, but it is the surroundings that let me down. It just seems so bland a non-descript. Often times the best pieces of art have some sort of interesting detail in the background and this is just one more spooky old castle. Now, I do like the hand that is neatly tucked off to the left of the book, and if you look real close the book is detailing how to use some sort of joint to help make the green concoction, so those are kind of neat, but I was really hoping for more. The real saving grace with this one is how Liliana is looking over her shoulder at us. She is clearly wondering who exactly is intruding on her and she hardly looks impressed. So, while the art in the background is a bit tame, I do like the details put into Liliana and the details in the foreground. This wouldn't be my first choice most times, but it is very respectable.
Infectious Bloodlust looks like a Red card. The critters on the card are all red and everything screams that this is a Red card except the name doesn't really seem to jive with the Art. This card looks neither Infectious nor does it look Bloodlust-y. What I get from this little upside down gremlin is that he and his buddies are up to some sort of mischief rather than being truly bloodthirsty. I feel like the art would have been better on an Act of Treason type card rather than this. As an aside, am I the only guy who thinks that this little upside down guy might be the same dude from Rakdos Cackler? They look awfully similar. Despite the similarity, I still think the card art and the name don't really match and as a result I would have this quite low on my pick order.
Akroan Jailer is pretty ho-hum too. I mean, he's just a dude standing there with his torch essentially tapping down your opponent's thing. He's pretty bland at first look, but if you look closely, the detail on his armour around his waist is pretty intricate. However, because the background around him is so dark our eyes are pulled to the rather beefy dude holding the torch and not his armour unless you are intent on looking pretty closely. Here's my real question: Can you explain to me how this guy is just a 1/1? I mean, this rather imposing dude has the same stats as a Elvish Mystic or an Elvish Visionary, and neither of those guys are imposing, muscular dudes. No, I'm just confused how this hefty tank of a guy is a mere 1/1 while those scrawny Elves are just the same. It just doesn't make sense. Anyway, he's a guy…with a torch.
Thornbow Archer is a pretty classic looking Elf. A tall, graceful, tree top living Elf should look something like this and the bow fits just right as well. This is a pretty simple and pretty classic among Fantasy tropes but it is the subtle colouring that I like best. The Green hues on the tree and on his clothing tell you quite firmly that these elves are B/G. So, while this is not exciting, the classic look and feel of the art appeals to me.
Pharika's Disciple is an up close look at a centaur. Yup. There she(?) is. Why exactly does she have deathtouch? Oh, right, if you worship Pharika you get the poison cane. But otherwise she looks nothing like most deathtouch creatures in the not so distant past. So, while the the centaur look is a strong one, this is among my least favorite cards in the set…At least from the art standpoint.
Disperse has got some fresh new art and it looks cool. The art that was on this card from M14 may have been the accepted version of the card, but this new art is super sweet. The guy is literally dissolving into mist and going to disperse, thus the name. This new art is among my favorite in the set and would be moving to the front of the line for sure.
Ringwarden Owl is just a fancy version of Hedwig. Cute as he is, I'm not a big fan. I do appreciate the Mage Ring in the background, and the lighting is pretty sweet, but my focus is on the rather bland owl in the foreground. He could have been made so much cooler, but take away the card frame and this would be a lovely oil on canvas piece for the walls of my parents home.
Bellows Lizard is equally unexciting. A big red crocodile is pretty unexciting. If you like it, that's great, but he's pretty underwhelming in my mind. Also, how is this rather large crocodile a 1/1 when the owl is a 3/3? I would be much more frightened of the croc getting a hold of me than swatting down Hedwig. Whatever. Not a huge deal, but a bit of a head scratcher.
Topan Freeblade is one of my favorite cards because it can be such a ridiculous threat and just beat down so early and so hard. But the art is slightly on the strange side. The lighting behind our creature makes it very difficult to get a real good look at her and the perspective is very in tight and looking up. Don't get me wrong. I like this art because it is so different and interesting to look at, but every time I look at her I feel like I'm going to be blinded by the sun behind her back. Also, one aspect I've grown to like is that initially your eyes are drawn to her blade she is holding out front, but don't forget the second blade she is wielding behind her head/shoulder. That second blade will get you every time! This goes to the front as one of my favorites too.
Returned Centaur is pretty blah. Grey background. Black and grey centaur. I mean, it looks like the name, but I'm not rushing around looking for this card art and I'm not picking this first.
Skysnare Spider is a pretty frightening spider. I guess my opinion is helped by the fact I don't much like spiders in most cases anyway. However, when a spider is the size of this one I have to say I am extra creeped out. The prey of this particular spider looks to be of a pretty good size meaning this is one massive spider. Also, what makes this extra scary is the fact that it clearly gets the drop on its prey from up above which is one nasty surprise. I think I like this art more than most because it is an action shot. Most of the other cards in this pack have been stationary photos of the creature or spell, but this one is in mid action catching its prey. Also, that is one big, gross spider with the green accents and that can't be something good. So, this card gets a good ick factor and is a chill action shot which sets this apart from the other cards in this pack.
Runed Servitor is just a creepy moving box. It kind of looks like a face hugger from the Alien movie franchise. I saw that movie as a kid and the face hugger still gives me the creeps now. The card is perfectly playable in draft, but the art does little to make me want to pick it an art draft. Thanks, but no thanks.
Quite honestly the best thing about Bounding Krasis is the creature type. Come on, who doesn't love fish lizard as a creature type? Now, the art on this is good. I like the creature and he looks in keeping with the other krasis critters the Simic seem to breed. The background looks like it could be Ravnica meaning that they have been true to where this guy is from and it just "feels" right. Even the colors look right. No. You know what sinks this guy is that flavor text. It's the part about being as destructive as a tidal wave. On a 3/3? So, what is Lorthos then? No idea, but if this is the criteria for a tidal wave I don't like what comes next. Way to go flavor department on spoiling a rather good piece of art with a silly quote that doesn't make sense. The quote doesn't make it unpickable, it just hampers it enough that I'm less inclined to pick it first.
Demonic Pact is a cool card that makes use of some rather new design space. That said, the art doesn't match with how cool this card is. The art shows Liliana with all her Runes that light up when she is using her powers, and you can see the hordes of zombies behind her in the background, but it looks like it could have been an alternate art for another planeswalker card and not this super cool designed card. I'm not going to slag the art, but I don't think it really does this card justice.
Top five cards
Topan Freeblade
Skysnare Spider
Bounding Krasis ( bad quote and all)
Demonic Pact
In my mind today the top two contenders are the Freeblade and the Spider. I think my vote today is for the spider because I like how the art captures this massive spider in action. I think the action shot separates this from the other cards enough to have it be first pick. I also think the artist did a great job of capturing the size of this thing to make the stats match up with the art. I think that sort of continuity really helps to strengthen the art on the card because everything lines up from art, to stats, to the quote. Everything comes together on the spider and makes him pick number 1 for today.
Thanks very much for stopping in to have a read. Let me know what you think. Do you agree with my choices? Do you face other cards that you like better on account of the art. Let me know in the comments below or by hitting me up on Twitter @bgray8791. Thanks again and have yourselves a great mtg day.

I have to admit, the Magic community is really pretty terrific. By and large most people you meet and interact with while playing Magic are genuinely nice, helpful, and just friendly. Let me share with a little anecdote. Not too long ago I was trying to think up some new twist I could bring to our next Casual Magic night because we got into a bit of a rut. We all love Multiplayer Magic, but the games take so long and if someone gets skunked on land they find themselves quickly eliminated and having to sit and watch the others play. That really isn't all that fun, so I was trying to come up with some way to mitigate this issue. When I was drawing a blank I turned my attention to the Magic Community and reached out on Facebook for suggestions and was rewarded in short order with tons of great suggestions. Today I thought I would share some of those fun options so that you could use them the next time you play around a kitchen table with your friends.
Pack Wars– This is perhaps the easiest of all the Casual variants and it takes very little in the way of set up. Essentially all you need is a booster pack and some land and you have all the ingredients for a game. People have said for a long time that just cracking a booster pack is a waste of time. You rarely get a solid return for you money spent, once open it is just 15 more cards, and really is a very short lived experience. However, you can draw that experience out by opening your pack and just shuffling in some land and playing a game! Typically you would want 3 land of each colour and then the spells are whatever you open, meaning you have little to no strategy, curve, or any other technical element to your game. However, it does cause you to think on your feet and adapt to the situation and making due with obviously substandard cards. The best part is, it could be any two packs…not even from the same set…and everyone is on the same respective level (unless they open some silly bomb). I gave it try with a buddy and we laughed ourselves silly with the sheer ridiculousness of some of the cards we played…and really at the end of the day it really is all about having some fun.
Howling Mine– One of the main complaints with Multiplayer Magic is that it takes so long because everyone runs out of cards. It's true…I have routinely seen games grind to a halt as everyone ends up in Top-deck mode praying that they rip some awesome bomb off the top of their deck. However, a great strategy to ensure everyone has enough cards and speed up the game is to give everyone a Howling Mine effect. This means everyone draws 2 cards instead of the usual 1. This really speeds up matters and ensures everyone can play with the cards in their deck instead of just sitting around top decking…drawing a dud…and then passing the turn.
Archenemy– Not all that long ago Wizards had a product that essentially pitted one deck against two others. The idea being that the one deck was super powerful and that the other two were more marginal, but could team up to beat the superior deck. So, why do you need a particular product from Wizards to play this? The answer is…you don't. Playing 2 or 3 on 1 is a great way to even out the playing field, so find that buddy with the super powerful deck and have him play solo…and then the rest of you get to see if you can take him out. It sounds really fun because if you are the solo guy, you want to see just how awesome your deck is against multiple opponents. If YOU get the win solo…damn…you be DA MAN! For the guys teamed up on you, you get a chance to dismantle THAT guy…you know…the guy who almost wins. Even if it is in a handicapped situation, there is no better feeling than beating that guy. A nice variation on this is to build the deck that the player who will be solo together as a group, so you all know just how awesome it is. There is a lot of fun to be had in group deck construction.
Two-Headed Giant– This classic team games pits 2 vs 2 and each pair of 2 players take their turn at the same time. This ends up being a wildly fun and exciting way to play. It can be played with constructed decks if you like, but is just as much fun in a limited environment. The ability to sit and discuss strategy with your team mate is one of the highlights of this format and helps you to explore a variety of different strategies. This one also shows up from time to time at pre-releases and such, making it a little more mainstream and sometimes competitive, but even there is generally regarded as being a fun and friendly format.
Dice-y Free for all– One way to mix up your multi-player free-for-all game is to have each player roll a die to determine which other player they will be attacking this turn. Sure, it takes a little longer, but in the end it usually avoids one person getting ganged up so badly that he gets blown out the game. Remember, you are here to play Magic…not blow someone out of the water…and giving each person the chance to not get attacked and develop a bit of a board only makes the game more enjoyable for everyone.
Chaos Draft– For those who love to draft…why draft boosters from the same set/block? There's no set rules come Casual Magic night…so everyone show up with different boosters and just see what you get. The randomness and unpredictable nature of the Draft environment makes for tons of fun as one guy brings in a pack of Modern Masters, and the next guy brings in a pack of Dark Ascension…and let the mayhem begin.
Mass-Chaos– One of the major complaints with multi-player free-for-all games is that they take a lot of time. You spend forever sitting there waiting for everyone else to finish their turn and twiddling your thumbs, all the while hoping you don't get hated out of the game ASAP. Well, one way to speed the game up significantly, and create all sorts of mayhem and chaos, is to have everyone at the table take their turn at the same time. There's no waiting for the turn to come around…you're going at the same time as the guys sitting beside you. Now, resolving spells, attacking, blocking and the like is pretty complicated, but between the bunch of you I'm sure you can figure out a system to make it all work for you guys. This seems like the most insane and disgustingly fun format I have ever encountered and really want my play group to give it a try. I can only imagine the arguments, shenanigans, and ridiculous scenarios that will get cooked up with this format…bring it on.
Awarding Points– My buddies and I have grown tired of having players sit and posture in a multiplayer game. Anyone can durdle…heck…I'm one of the best at it. However, to create an incentive to being more aggressive, we award points for having taken out other players at the table. At the end of the game, the player who has the most kills is actually declared the winner, even though he's not last man standing. This absolutely speeds up the game and makes people play much more aggressively, but you need to watch out for the "cherry picking" as one guy does all the work to KO one player at the table, only to have his point stolen from him by an opportunist who swoops in and delivers the final blow to take the point. In either case, there is no doubt that this gets people moving and out of their defensive posturing shells.
So, there we have a number of suggestions to help spice up your next Casual night. These could be a breath of fresh air for your playgroup and be options that you guys opt to maintain as house rules for when you play. Maybe you give them a try and find out that you don't much care for some of these variants. That's fine. There's no wrong way to play Magic so long as everyone is having some fun and slinging spells. In either case, give them a try and see what you think.
What do YOU guys do when you sit around your kitchen table to play? Do you use one of the variants that I've listed above or do you have your own house rules? This is a great time to share these ideas with Conspiracy here and the new Core Set just around the corner giving us an influx of great new cards to liven up casual games further. Let me know what you think. Hit me up with a tweet and let's hear what other people are doing out there in the wide world of Magic.
Thanks for reading and remember keep it fun, keep it safe…keep it casual.

Hi Everyone,
We're happy to announce that HealthWarehouse.com has officially relaunched on our own software platform as of February 10th. We realize it's already the end of March, but wanted to be sure we had worked out all the kinks before making it official.
We know that HealthWarehouse.com is missing tons of features (like our own checkout), but we decided to release our software early going with reliable Google Checkout to start and gather feedback. Of course, we have our own checkout and PayPal in the works and should have this released in the next few weeks.
As part of our launch, we now have links to the manufacturer website and user manuals for many products in both English & Spanish. We will continue to add information which helps you make good buying decisions. Look for the "Additional Information" section in the narrow column on any product page to find these files in PDF format.
We have also decided to push the envelope and offer an industry leading 90-day return policy with no restocking fees. Most of our competitors offer 15 to 30 days and almost always charge for restocking. We feel this is unnecessary and want to make sure you are confident with your purchase every time you shop with us.
We hope you will enjoy our low prices (we hear are amongst the lowest around) and fast shipping. We strive to get every order to it's destination within 2 to 5 days (including West Coast) which our reviews tend to show we have been successful at doing so far.
We will continue to add new features weekly and build on the great base we have now established. Tell us how we can improve and features you would like to see at email@example.com.

Marco Kurz lauded his Adelaide United players' desire after holding on for a gutsy 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory on Friday night.
Strikers Baba Diawara and George Blackwood bagged their first goals of the season for the Reds, either side of a brilliant Mark Milligan strike.
But with a narrow 2-1 lead the Reds were reduced to nine men after Daniel Adlung and Ben Garuccio were dismissed for second bookable offences late in the game.
Seven minutes of time was added on making the challenge of defending with nine men all the more difficult.
However, Adelaide showed immaculate defensive application and a dogged resoluteness to claim the Club's first triumph at Etihad Stadium since 2006.
Kurz could not hide his satisfaction after the impressive performance, praising his players' determination.
"It was a very big victory for us and first I must say congratulations to the boys, I love the boys, I love the squad," he said in the post-match press conference.
"It's not easy to win in Melbourne but today we did a good job and the boys fight for the result and now we are happy with the three points.
"I think today we had the luck on our side and the fight and confidence to win which was the key today."
Kurz said he was delighted to see his two strikers, Diawara and Blackwood, both get off the mark this campaign with timely goals.
"It's very good for the players," he said.
"I was very happy for Baba (Diawara), when you saw after the goal he looks like a kid, he's smiling.
"He works very hard also Georgie (Blackwood), I'm very happy with both strikers and it's good to know that they had scored today.
"It's good for the players and also good for our team that we have quality from the striker position."
The German tactician also reserved applause for goalkeeper, Paul Izzo, who committed a number of pivotal saves during the clash, though reiterated that the entire team deserves credit.
On the stroke of half-time he tipped Besart Berisha's spot-kick onto the upright, before parrying Leroy George's follow-up effort, in addition to a several stops at the death.
"He did a good job," he continued when asked about the gloveman.
"But also the whole team, I think it's important to say the whole team played very, very well today."
Adelaide United will face Newcastle Jets in Round 11 of the Hyundai A-League 2017/18 season on Saturday, 16 December at McDonald Jones Stadium. Kick-off is at 5.05pm ACDT.
