The best possible Master Transmuter deck I've been able to create. I honestly can't see any way to make it better unless they print more cards or change the ban list, so ALL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!
By only playing 14 lands you can stack all sorts of goodies into the deck.
The Engine: Etherium Sculptors, Grand Architects, and Everflowing Chalices allow for colourless 6-7 drops on turn 3.
The Tricks: Master Transmuter, Thousand-Year Elixir, and Kuldotha Forgemaster allow for literally playing any artifact in your deck at will for 1 U or less. Transmuter also makes it very nearly impossible to kill anything that's on the board.
The Bombs: Six cards that deal with basically everything you can think of. Makes sideboarding really simple because you just slot out cards with little effect for their worst nightmares. Contagion Engine deals with bodies, the Spine deals with other permanents, Wurmcoil is never bad, Battlesphere gives you blockers, Sharuum brings anything they managed to kill back, and the Metamorph is another copy of anything, including threats to you.
Tezzeret is there for card advantage and a single shot kill, as laid out below.
Some cool things you can do!
T1: Darkslick Shores, Sleight of Hand
T2: Island, Etherium Sculptor, Borderpost, Mox Opal, Etherium Sculptor
T3: Island, Grand Architect, cast Blightsteel Colossus if you're using him or any other 12CMC bundle you want
T1: Darksteel Citadel
T2: Island, Everflowing Chalice, Borderpost
T3: Island, Grand Architect, Thousand-Year Elixir
T4: Kuldotha Forgemaster
On the end of their turn, sacrifice Citadel, Borderpost, and Chalice to play Myr Battlesphere, untap Forgemaster, sacrifice 2 Myr tokens and the Battlesphere to find Sharuum the Hegemon, returning Battleshpere. This nets you a 6/6 flyer (+1 for being blue), a Battlesphere that can swing for 10+6 (you can sac the tokens midcombat for more Forgemaster tricks) which is nicely over lethal damage.
NOTE: The above combo takes you from 5 artifacts to 10 artifacts, so if you have Tezzeret already in play you can use his -4 for lethal.
Transmuter, Thousand-Year Elixir, Mox Opal, and Spine of Ish Sah combine to make 1U: destroy two permanents.
I've only done this twice, but with enough mana (easy to do with Architects and proliferating Chalices) you can play Tezzeret, proliferate twice, use his -4, then next turn bounce Contagion Engine, proliferate, bounce it again, and proliferate again, to use his -4 once more.
Remember, you can put the artifact in play that you just returned to your hand because it's part of the cost. This also means that, besides Split Second, nothing can kill your artifacts if you have Transmuter ready. Boardwipes are a problem, but you Forgemaster a Wurmcoil and net some tokens, or for more hilarity, resolve a Darksteel Forge.
I actually like this deck. It work really well from my playtest. Some cards that I have bought that might be good additions or changes for the deck would be: Unwinding Clock , Mirrorworks , Training Grounds + Umbral Mantle for some laughs.
Hey man, thanks! This is the first deck I made after coming back into MTG in college after playing as a kid. I've always kept an eye out for ways to make it better, but it's a high bar as I just want it to be the best Master Transmuter deck it can be in Modern, not necessarily the best blue artifact deck. I actually haven't thought about changes to it in years.
Since the deck is almost a combo deck (it has zero interaction until you get to untap with at least one of its enablers) I really can't be adding more non-creature permanents that don't affect the board. I actually ended up not playing things like Blightsteel Colossus because once you get out a Myr Battlesphere plus Sharuum the Hegemon as a safety, you're actually looking at 20 points of damage on board, so even going bigger isn't really worthwhile.
Due to the fact it pretty much folds to counter magic or anything but the slowest draws from aggro decks on the same tier as Robots - not to mention being just as weak to artifact removal - I don't think it will ever be competitive now that Modern exists. But thanks for making the ol' girls smile and for your input _

Awareness: Yul Brynner died of lung cancer.
Long before shaved heads became cool, movie star Yul Brynner was famous for being both bald and sexy. He played a gunslinger in the classic 60s western The Magnificent Seven and won an Oscar for his role in The King and I. But by the 1980s he was famous for something else: having lung cancer. A former heavy smoker, he became passionate about urging others to quit and soon after his death the American Cancer Society released a TV commercial with a film clip of Brynner made before he died. In it he says, "Now that I'm gone I'm saying, 'Don't smoke – whatever you do, just don't smoke'."
The ad was credited with motivating many smokers to bin their cigarettes for good and, says Professor Simon Chapman of the University of Sydney's School of Public Health, is a good example of how star power can improve our health.
"After the ad was shown there was a massive spike in awareness of the harm from tobacco – it was a poignant and memorable message because it looked like he was speaking to us from the grave," Chapman says.
Celebrity effect: Kylie Minogue's cancer diagnosis sparked a rise in women getting mammograms. Photo: The New York Times
Kylie Minogue triggered a similar effect in 2005 after her breast cancer diagnosis. After the news bookings for mammograms increased by 40 per cent in four Australian states. Then in 2008 a British reality TV star, Jade Goody, was diagnosed with cervical cancer which proved to be terminal. Her death led to an increase in women having Pap tests in the UK. A paper on the effect of Goody's death published in the Journal of Medical Screening concluded that the jump in screening had probably saved lives.
On the face of it using celebrities, dead or alive, to raise awareness of health issues or to urge us into healthier behaviours seems like a smart idea. A famous name can highlight diseases that don't normally grab headlines – think Michael J. Fox and Parkinson's disease. If we admire a celebrity's style then we might want to copy a habit that helps them achieve it – it's a safe bet that Michelle Obama's arms have coaxed a few women into training with weights.
Yet star power can be a mixed blessing. Women in their 50s have a higher risk of breast cancer so it was good that that Kylie's diagnosis encouraged many women in that age group to have a mammogram.
But it also led to an increase in younger women at low risk of breast cancer having mammograms, which exposed them to unnecessary radiation, Chapman says.
"Where it can be effective is when a celebrity recommends a behaviour or a therapy that has good evidence to back it up – if there was a celebrity promoting checks for blood pressure or regular Pap tests, most people would think this was a good idea," says Chapman, pointing out that while our eyes might glaze over at advice from health authorities, celebrities can make us sit up and listen.
Where it's not helpful though is where celebrities are linked to foods or habits that don't have good evidence to back their use – being a model or a movie star doesn't confer a degree in nutrition science.
For every woman who makes an appointment for a check-up on the strength of a celebrity diagnosis, there are probably others embracing the lemon detox diet or slurping coconut oil because it's been linked to a famous name.
"What irritates me is vitamin companies using celebrities to promote vitamin supplements because if you look at the evidence they're nearly always unnecessary in a country like Australia where most people are unlikely to be deficient," Chapman says.
But if there's one health issue that badly needs the star touch it's bowel cancer, he adds. "Bowel cancer is very treatable when it's caught early but often fatal when it's detected late – but so far there are no celebrities queuing up to promote bowel cancer screening."

A possible scam attempt turned into a robbery in Lauderdale County Friday. Investigators are trying to gather more information to make arrests.
Officials with the sheriff's department say it happened at a home on Fish Lodge Road. They say the victim had weapons and money stolen from him.
The male victim told authorities he believes one of the men who robbed him had been to his house Thursday to discuss doing house work for him.
That turned out to be a dangerous meeting because that victim was forced to the ground in his home and robbed of cash and guns by two men. No weapons were used during the incident.
One of the two suspects had been at the gentleman's house yesterday," said Calhoun. "It appears the gentleman had been seeking to have someone come and clean his house and this individual had responded, with some others, to the residence to discuss this with our victim of this morning."
One of the two suspects being sought is 22-year-old Brandon Johnson of 917 42nd Avenue. Authorities say they are working on identifying a second suspect.
Calhoun says one way to protect yourself when you have visitors is to always let a neighbor or family member know when people will be stopping by. Better yet, have someone at the house with you to deter the possibility of a crime to taking place.
Investigators are following several leads in this case. If you have any information, you may report it through Crimestoppers at 601-485-1860.

A new kind of malicious software strikes at Mac OS X and iPhone users in China, according to a just-released security report.
A credit card hack allegedly uncovered at Home Depot reportedly used a variant of the same malware that affected Target customers last year, says security researcher Brian Krebs.
Police and security firms team up to take down the notorious Shylock, a dangerous financial Trojan that has infected at least 30,000 Windows computers worldwide.
Copycats of popular apps are the current place of choice for cybercriminals to deposit malware capable of extracting data, sending text messages, and tracking users' geo-locations.
Suspected Russian hacker is accused of creating botnet that infected as many as 1 million computers worldwide in order to steal more than $100 million.
Law enforcement agencies seize more than 1,000 computers, smartphones, and hard drives in a massive operation that goes after malware said to have "sophisticated" capabilities and "breathtaking" invasiveness.
Researchers report the number of malicious apps available on the Google Play store continues to grow. Your best defense is a security app, a cautious approach to downloads, and a close eye on your bank and credit card statements.
A vulnerability could allow hackers to trick users into downloading fake apps, which could siphon off their personal information, researchers warn.
Fake wallpaper apps turned phones into bots for the power- and computationally intensive process of producing crypto-currency, a mobile security firm warns.
Google's Verify Apps malware protection for Android is rolling out an update that will constantly monitor apps for suspicious behaviour.

Undergraduate research has been recognized as an effective "high impact practice" in higher education. The traditional apprenticeship model of undergraduate research, where one or a small number of students work closely with a faculty member is powerful, but it is often difficult to scale so that all students have the opportunity. During this CUR Institute, individuals or teams we will explore multiple ways to think about scaling the benefits of undergraduate research to a larger percentage of students by integrating research into the curriculum.
The goals of this Institute are to:
The Institute will consist of:
As a part of the Institute application, you will be asked to provide a one paragraph narrative statement. This statement may describe any information you deem relevant to assist in the selection process. In particular, you should include the following:
In general the cancellation deadline is thirty days prior to the start of the conference, except where explicitly noted. Cancellations requests received in writing to the CUR National Office at email@example.com prior to the cancellation deadline will receive a full refund less a $50.00 cancellation fee. No refunds will be given after the cancellation deadline. Transfer of registration to another individual before the cancellation deadline is free of charge, but subject to member classification charges due to differences in conference rates. Transfer of registration after the cancellation deadline will be charged a $50.00 transfer fee.
Institutions may not substitute one participant for another without prior approval of the National Office.
CUR always suggests that their registrants purchase low-cost travel insurance when booking their air reservations. Not only will this insurance cover your airfare in the event of cancellation but will also cover the registration cost for the meeting you were to attend.

text: i bought a jailbroken (with cydia) & unlocked (with ultrasn0w) iphone 3G from america... it had an ipad baseband & cydia 06.15.00 (the latest one). its the only phone i have & im waiting for calls from centrelink & 500 doctors & **** for lots of paperwork / upcoming surgeries (i dont have a home phone & homelessness is impending due to money drama!) BUT i accidentally factory reset it on the phone ('erase all contents & settings'), which bricked the phone (all i wanted to do was delete all my texts & pictures to make space). i cant restore it via itunes, it just gets stuck in a recovery loop. so i used tinyumbrella software to get it out of the recovery loop; then spent 10 hours trying to sort out the redsn0w jailbreak program to install the iphones firmware again & cydia.....i dont know how i did it, but it eventually turned on to the mainscreen. cydia was installed BUT the phone was still locked, so i cant get online to download the unlocking ultrasn0w software through the cydia app (the wifi on the phone is broken). so i tried using ultrapusher, to manually put the unlocking program onto the iphone from my computer, so i can actually have a phone again...but the new firmware (iOS 4.1.2) didnt work with this older version of ultrapusher (which only supports iOS 3.1.2). there arent any new versions of ultrapusher. the phone then bricked again. i was back where i started, so i figured i'd just do the redsn0w thing to jailbreak it again.... but ive been trying for a long time, various methods, & none of them work so the phone is stuck with either the apple logo or the itunes logo & won't turn on. i've tried loading up on redsn0w with apple's firmware, with custom firmware, with recovery fixes, with tinyumbrella's fixes....nothing! would anyone know how to restore the iphone's firmware? i dont even care about the unlocking or jailbreaking anymore, i just need a working phone that can turn on, coz at least i can sell it back to someone in america & not have lost out on $700 could you give me a tutorial, that begins with a totally bricked phone with no firmware on it - & step by step instructions on how to get the phone into recovery mode, then how to use redsn0w (every tutorial seems to have a different method, involving installing ipad basebands & other things in different sequences, custom ispw's & such). i just need step by step instructions, including all the button-holding sequences, straight from the start, so i can just get this phone to turn on !!

Cubs beat Brewers, 6-2, cap three-game sweepMark Gonzales, Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO -- Even with the likelihood that shortstop Starlin Castro and first baseman Anthony Rizzo are lost for the rest of the season because of injuries, the Cubs knocked out former teammate Matt Garza after three innings en route to a 6-2 victory Wednesday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs earned their first home series sweep of at least three games over Milwaukee since Aug. 23-25, 2004. The Cubs put together five hits off Garza during a four-run third to support rookie Kyle Hendricks, who was acquired from the Rangers in July, 2012 in a trade for Ryan Dempster.
At the plate
Logan Watkins had two hits to raise his batting average to .414, Jorge Soler hit a two-run bloop double, and Chris Valaika a two-run home run that reached the last row of the left field bleachers.
On the mound
Hendricks was pulled after only 80 pitches, but Justin Grimm bailed him out of a jam in the sixth.
In the field
Soler and fellow rookie outfielder Arismendy Alcantara made running catches in the third, and shortstop Javier Baez leaped to rob Aramis Ramirez of a hit in the second.
The number
3 – Starts in which Garza has allowed at least six runs.
The quote
General manager Jed Hoyer on Castro: "Our assumption is that (his injury) is probably season ending. But if he does surprise us and comes back early, we wouldn't be against having him play again, because that would send him into the off-season on a good note.''

We know the Obama administration is full of museum-grade morons, but it's rare you'll ever see something as laughably idiotic as the show Harf put on yesterday…(snip for video)This article is about her asinine remarks on Bergdahl. But she is equal opportunity when it comes to stupid.

Deck Roofing Materials
Deck Roofing Materials
A sun deck adds value to any home and serves as an ideal outdoor space to entertain a small group of friends and family while enjoying a arresting view of the sunset. However, if you live in the south, you may not be capable to enjoy much time in an open deck due to inclement weather conditions.
You can easy tackle this problem by building a roof over your deck so that you can spend more time on the deck even in the hot summertime sun. If you ar preparation to add a cap to the sun deck in your house, you can either do it yourself or decide to hire a professional declarer for the purpose. Unless you have extensive experience in building a deck ceiling yourself, it will be a wise decision to get estimates from various roofing and roof repair specialists and handing the job to one of them to save both time and money.
Building a deck cap requires expertise in taking exact measurements of the cap surface area and using appropriate roofing materials that complement the deck as well as the remaining house structure. For those who want to build the deck ceiling themselves, they can begin by installing the posts on the deck that will hold the roof. Next, begin building the frame of the roof on the ground itself.
You need to make a box frame of the same dimensions as the outer measurements of your deck. Ideally, you should use 2 by 4 inch lumber for the purpose. Next take it up to your deck and hoist it on the post with the help of various sized screws and nails. You need to cover the cap with the construction material of your choice and install the ceiling on the frame. It is best to use tar paper on the plyboard sub roofing, which you can later cover with a tin roof.
If you can afford it, it is best to use a crane for the purpose of hoisting the cap on the frame. The height of the front of the cap should be same as the house roof. You can attach the back portion of the deck cap to the house roof by using a right flash so that it does not look like a disjointed portion of the house. Use a good quality metal flashing to ensure that you do need to spend much on later on.

) drop the addition of "with (oids=false)" completely in the generated SQL (if it's unchecked). It only clutters the generated SQL and nowadays does not server any purpose as it's the default anyway (as oids are deprecated).

I agree, but default setting for this feature should be considered. It is true that config variable "default_with_oids = off" is set by default, but what about systems with this variable set to "on" ?
Maybe there are no any, but who knows. I would add behaviour switch in model config.0 Agreed0 Disagreed
I agree with MichalK that it needs to be a setting. I think the best way is default to no oids, except if you have specifically requested it for a table.
The reason you want to be able to add them to a table is because programs like MS Access, being used as a front end into a Postgres database, get confused when updating tables without oids. Once you update the table, you can do longer view any records until you close and re-start access. If you turn on oids for tables that you are editing within MS Access, then you don't have any problems.0 Agreed0 Disagreed
(Off topic) So how does MS Access work with databases that do not have OIDs at all? It should be able to use regular primary keys, shouldn't it?0 Agreed0 Disagreed

The hard drive, 50 years ago
Summary: In 1952, IBM opened a research lab in San Jose under Rey Johnson, and one of its first assignments was to come up with a magnetic storage system that could hold 5MB of data, then a whopping amount. Johnson's group used platters coated with magnetic material stacked on top of each other. Data would be fetched by a head that traveled up and down the stack of rotating platters.

Ford has announced the company's single largest profit since 1998, thanks in part to a one-time tax gain. The company drew in a net income of $13.6 billion last quarter and the news marked the automaker's 11th consecutive profitable quarter. For perspective, Ford made $190 million in 2010. The company's net income was bolstered by the fact that Ford eliminated a valuation allowance against deferred tax benefits. The company created the valuation allowance in 2006 when it began reporting operating losses. Analysts reportedly see the elimination as a sign that the manufacturer expects to be profitable in coming years.
The company made $8.8 billion in profit in 2011, or $1.51 a share. That's an increase of $463 million over 2010. Even so, the company's net income missed analysts' estimates thanks in part to higher commodity costs, currency fluctuations and flooding in Thailand. The automaker spent $100 million more in commodities like steel than it projected. Those facts, combined with a deteriorating European market, helped Ford miss analyst estimates by 5 cents per share.

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
Frequent BSODs. Recent issue.
So my Windows 7 x64 partition has been BSODing frequently for the past 2 months. BSOD error messages are too vague. No BSODs in safe mode. Was able to do a full defrag in safe mode. Updated graphics driver, didn't help.
Windows XP partition is perfectly stable for over a year now, so I doubt it's a hardware issue.
No hardware changes have been made in that time frame. I've only really booted into Windows 7 this past year just to shrink the partition and increase the WinXP partition. But I really want to figure out what's causing these BSODs.
I am completely stumped, would be grateful for help.
