The Legion continues its march through the Dragon's Maze, and here's how we're going to achieve glorious victory on the battlefield:
Champion of the Parish - The only time this guy isn't good is when you topdeck him late. Perfect for this deck.
Nearheath Pilgrim and Lightning Mauler - Lightning Mauler hastes up my Silverblade Paladin and Frontline Medic. Nearheath Pilgrim helps win the aggro race by keeping my life total ahead and also gives me the infinite life combo with Boros Reckoner and Boros Charm/Frontline Medic.
Silverblade Paladin, Frontline Medic, and Boros Reckoner - Paladin was a no-brainer, and Medic has an unbelievable power level when combined with Lightning Mauler. The beats come early and fast thanks to indestructibility. Boros Reckoner is a solid all-around card that makes some matchups very difficult for opponents.
Hellrider and Tajic, Blade of the Legion - The only other non-human after Boros Reckoner, Hellrider is a closer that can win a game out of nowhere. Tajic, Blade of the Legion is a paragon of resilience and is fantastic to pair with any of my soulbond creatures to ramp his power level through the roof and over 9000.
Boros Charm and Searing Spear - The charm is possibly the best ever printed. Its first two modes are extremely relevant in this deck, and its final mode is occasionally useful as well. Searing Spear functions as both reach and removal.
Rally the Peasants - A favorite finisher, a wonderful combat trick, and a huge friend of Silverblade Paladin. This card won me countless games in the previous Standard environment, and I expect it to do the same here.
Ajani, Caller of the Pride - An excellent ally for making my creatures either bigger or downright lethal.

My recent success in events with my new deck, The Nayan Apocalypse, has led to me retiring this deck. This has easily been my most popular and well-received deck on TappedOut, and I'm very grateful to all the support the community provided.
I'm especially thankful for the input from other users on card choices and suggestions, as they guided me through the deckbuilding process. This is still my most successful deck to date in terms of event results, leading me to a money finish at SCG Daytona and multiple FNM top 8s.
As for my recommendations on the current viability of the deck, I think that it's great to have the consistency of two colors over a Naya build, but right now, this deck has an extremely difficult matchup against Voice of Resurgence decks. Ideally, this deck should be adjusted to be more red-based to include Pillar of Flame or should be re-purposed as a Naya Humans or Naya Zoo build. As always, feel free to comment on the deck if you have any questions about specific matchups or card choices. Thanks for reading!
Just missed prizes again (5th last week with a cut to top 4). I had two draws that really held me back, and I finished with a record of 2-1-2. Legion Loyalist definitely did good work, and I made a few last-minute sideboard changes that were also effective. A detailed report along with a Florida States report will be coming soon.
-2 Tajic, Blade of the Legion
-1 Ajani, Caller of the Pride
-1 Mountain
+1 Frontline Medic
+2 Blind Obedience
+1 Searing Spear
Tajic, Blade of the Legion wasn't working out. I think he's better in a deck that can give him trample, either through Legion Loyalist, Rancor, Unflinching Courage, or other means. He otherwise gets chumped for days or crashes into a Boros Reckoner and hurts me in the process. I especially think he's quite brutal with Unflinching Courage, and will consider him in Naya decks in the future.
What results from the changes are a return to the Blind Obedience days, where I got to attack without fear of flash blockers (even more dangerous now with RUG Flash and Advent of the Wurm in addition to Restoration Angel) and kick my burn spells up a notch. I also went ahead and maxed on Frontline Medic and Lightning Mauler to take advantage of that interaction.
Only 12 players, so my tiebreakers didn't get me into top 4 for prizes. 3-1 is still pretty good, but there are definitely some things I need to consider changing to improve the deck.
I removed:
3x Boros Elite
2x Blind Obedience
1x Cavern of Souls
and added:
1x Searing Spear
1x Lightning Mauler
2x Tajic, Blade of the Legion
2x Mountain
The result is a slower than usual aggro deck that maintains its strength through the mid-game. Tajic, Blade of the Legion in particular makes the deck quite resilient and plays very well with Ajani, Caller of the Pride. I may consider adding a second Ajani after more testing. I would still like to try Legion's Initiative in the deck at some point if I can get at least three to try in place of a few non-creature spells. There are so many theoretical advantages and hindrances it presents that I think I can only find out its level of effectiveness by trying it out.
Feel free to discuss my changes and make suggestions in the comments!
Here are the changes I'm considering for Dragon's Maze:
-2 Blind Obedience
-1 Ajani, Caller of the Pride
-1 Hellrider
+2 Tajic, Blade of the Legion
+1 Lightning Mauler
+1 Mountain
203 comments so far! Thanks for the discussion!
Big thanks to everyone who has commented on and upvoted this deck. It reached 100 score recently and I want to thank everyone for their support! This deck is really fun to play and I think it stands out among other Boros decks because of my unique card choices and dedication to updating and posting event results.
Brief FNM reports for March 1 and March 15. Let's start with 3/1/13:
Match 1: Red Deck Wins, W 2-0
Nearheath Pilgrim is a boss. I went as high as 31 life. AGAINST AGGRO.
Match 2: The Aristocrats, W 2-1
Zealous Conscripts was used as an inefficient but effective kill spell for Falkenrath Aristocrat, followed by a second Zealous Conscripts to swing for the win.
Match 3: Naya Midrange, L 0-2
Can't beat the curve of Boros Reckoner -> Huntmaster of the Fells Flip -> Thragtusk -> Aurelia, the Warleader.
Match 4: Omnidoor, W 2-0
This is an easy matchup for aggro, especially since they rely on sweepers and Boros Charm beats those.
Match 5: Red Boros, W 2-0
Silverblade Paladin did work in this one.
I drew into top 8 in round 6. Now for the results of FNM on 3/15/13!
Match 1: BUG Delver, L 1-2
Game one was close due to lots of extorting with Blind Obedience, but I lost. I won game two handily and lost game three handily.
Match 2: Gruul Aggro, W 2-0
I was matched against my friend running the Gruul deck I designed for him, deck:predator-gruuze. I was much too fast for him to put up a fight.
Match 3: Bant Control, W 2-0
Both of us had Blind Obedience in game one, and we extorted the hell out of each other. I extorted 8 times and he extorted 9 times, but I won that game. The next game was significantly faster for me.
Match 4: Red Boros, W 2-0
I got Nearheath Pilgrim going in both games. He makes aggro matchups so easy.
Match 5: UW Delver, W 2-0
Blazing fast draws for me, bad hands for him.
Match 6: UWR Flash, W 2-1
I had to play this round because my opponent had to draw in a previous round. I came out too fast in game one. I forgot to counter an Aurelia's Fury with my Frontline Medic in game two, which cost me the match as he started chaining Sphinx's Revelations. I was again too fast in game three.
This deck has less speed than Naya Blitz or Jund Aggro, but uses less cards to achieve equivalent damage potential on turns 3-4, making it less likely to get blown out by effective removal. This is largely accomplished by Silverblade Paladin, which remains a ridiculous card in most matchups. While on the slow side, having good mana, playing Silverblade Paladin and Boros Charm, and being straight Boros keeps me enjoying this deck.
I took the Legion for a spin at the Orlando 5K, here's how it went!
Match 1: UWR Flash, W 2-0
Both games were very close. Game two was especially close, as I won at 2 life when he was at 3. I'm surprised that I keep managing to win this matchup despite how bad it seems for me.
Match 2: Esper Spirits, W 2-1
I win game one too quickly to know what he's playing, so I sideboard in for Esper Control. Instead, my Skullcracks are rendered useless as he bashes me over the head with an army of spirits. Game three is much better for me once I put my Nearheath Pilgrims back in.
Match 3: Jund Aggro, L 0-2
I played against Nicholas Werner, the person who ended up making the finals of the event. Burning-Tree Emissary into Mogg Flunkies is actually an awesome play, one that completely blows me out before I can ever get going. No Nearheath Pilgrims really hurt me here.
Match 4: Naya Humans, W 2-1
If I got a Nearheath Pilgrim out, I won, and if I didn't I lost. Thankfully, I got one out in two games.
Match 5: Naya Humans, W 2-1
Same story. Nearheath Pilgrim + Silverblade Paladin + Rally the Peasants puts aggro to sleep fast.
Match 6: Prime Speaker Bant, L 1-2
I won game one with a moderately fast hand. He managed to stabilize a little but I was able to end it before he could come back. I got crushed by massive creatures in the next two games, Angel of Serenity being the worst of them.
Match 7: Esper Control, W 2-1
I lost game one after getting mana screwed. I got him to 1 life quickly in game two, where he stayed for a long time until I drew the Skullcrack after throwing creature after creature at him to empty his hand. Game three was very fast for me.
Match 8: Jund Aggro, L 1-2
I lost game one, got out a Nearheath Pilgrim in game two (so I won), and made an atrocious misplay in game three that cost me the game and the match.
Match 9: Lucky Charms, L 0-2
This is the UWR Flash deck centered around Boros Reckoner, using him with Azorius Charm/Moment of Heroism and Boros Charm to gain infinite life and Blasphemous Act to finish any opponent at 13 or less life. This deck absolutely stomps aggro, which it did to me.
Overall, The Sunfist Brigade performed well, although I still lament my poor draws and my round 8 misplay that kept me from having a shot at top 32 or higher. The deck is still quite potent, though perhaps not as much so as Naya or Jund Aggro. I still think that this Boros and Mono-green Aggro are perhaps the next best aggressive decks after those two, and would highly advocate this list for any local tournaments, especially FNMs.
xhirnschock says... #1
Hi I really like this deck and maybe will rebuild it because I already have most of the cards. Looking forward to play it in my local store at FNM until it rotates out.
You would make any changes due to Magic 2014?
July 17, 2013 7:11 a.m.
From M14: Ogre Battledriver (for when Hellrider rotates), Path of Bravery , Imposing Sovereign (in place of Blind Obedience ), Fiendslayer Paladin , and maybe even Master of Diversion if you want a better Firefist Striker .
July 17, 2013 11:12 a.m.
This deck is really good but its going to take a rotation pretty hard Ogre Battledriver good for Hellrider

Humans have been trying to outrun old age for millennia, and new research might give us a step on the Grim Reaper. Scientists have prevented age-related liver decline in mice by restoring a key protein that helps the organ trash used proteins. It's not exactly the fountain of youth, but the findings could shed further light on the biological mechanisms of aging.
Why does our body break down as we get older? Some scientists think that disorders such as heart failure and dementia are caused by rogue molecules called free radicals, which ricochet through the body and wreck proteins. A related hypothesis holds that proteins themselves are the problem: Once they've outlived their usefulness, they build up in organs and cause trouble, much like road dust can gum up a car engine.
Focusing on the latter idea, Ana Maria Cuervo, a cell biologist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, and colleagues looked at protein buildup in the livers of elderly mice. As the rodents get older, cells in their liver sport less of a receptor called LAMP-2A. Cuervo knew that LAMP-2A acts a bit like a garbage truck, scavenging old proteins from the liver and isolating them in tiny cellular pockets, where they can be destroyed. Was LAMP-2A the key to liver senescence?
To find out, the researchers engineered mice to carry an extra LAMP-2A gene. They turned on the gene when the mice were 11 months old, the equivalent of 40 years in a person. Because the liver is vital for breaking down drugs, the researchers assessed the organ's function by measuring how quickly the mice could metabolize a muscle relaxant. When young, healthy mice are injected with the relaxant, they splay out on the lab table, and it takes about 3 hours for them to get up and start moving again. But even 20-month-old mice, the equivalent of 80-year-old humans, showed this youthful response if they had extra LAMP-2A. Control mice of the same age remained paralyzed for about 6 hours.
The results demonstrate that the debris buildup caused by defective LAMP-2A can cause organ decline in mice, the researchers report online this week in Nature Medicine. "So any means of removing this garbage is going to improve function," Cuervo says. Because humans use a similar system to help clean out their cells, Cuervo says the findings may lead to treatments to keep elderly people's organs in prime condition.
It's an "elegantly designed" study, says biologist Marc Tatar of Brown University. But he notes that researchers should also test whether quantities of proteins that help LAMP-2A with its disposal tasks decline with age. And Douglas Schmucker, a cell biologist at the University of California, San Francisco, says the process should be investigated in other organs.

Of all African masks, those by the Dan people are the most distinguishable and highly sought after, with their minimal but expressively carved features, smooth modulations of facial planes and sleek polished black or dark brown surfaces. Collectors of African art adore the stark corpse-like faces of the Dan masks, which are normally crafted out of hard wood, cloth and cowry shell accents.
The Dan people have inhabited the regions of the Ivory Coast and Liberia since the eighth century B.C. Because they lacked a cohesive central government, identity as a Dan was fostered by a Read the rest of this entry »

Innovation By Design
4 Big Trends Shaping The Future Of Design
Our Innovation by Design competition drew more than 1,200 entries from big firms and tiny studios. The 54 finalists take on audacious challenges—illuminating four key priorities for the next wave of innovation.
Our Innovation by Design competition drew more than 1,200 entries from big firms and tiny studios. The 54 finalists take on audacious challenges—illuminating four key priorities for the next wave of innovation.
Goal #1: Challenge Us
We are creatures of habit, which can lead us down ruinous paths—not eating right, not exercising, not stopping to enjoy those around us. Thoughtful design doesn't just enable our habits; it pushes us to improve behavior, making us more economical, reflective, and responsible.
Automatic, by Automatic Labs
The challenge: Drive smarter
This intelligent hardware-and-app combo acts as a driving assistant, monitoring individual habits at the wheel and offering audio hints on how to cruise with greater fuel efficiency.
Food Thinking, by Gravity
The challenge: Carefully consider our food
What drives the Western world's obsession with food? This research project, and an event that followed, advocated for unorthodox eating like Dumpster diving. The goal: Make people think twice about what they eat, how often, and why.
#UseMeLeaveMe, by Razorfish
The challenge: Make bike sharing easier
At this year's South by Southwest festival, digital agency Razorfish launched a free bike-sharing system, in which the GPS-equipped bikes could tweet their availability and location. It was a marketing stunt, but perhaps also the seed of an efficient sharing system.
Decelerator Helmet, by Lorenz Potthast
The challenge: Take a breather
Don the helmet, and you'll see the world in slow motion (via a screen mounted inside). Design student Lorenz Potthast says it's intended to provide a philosophic experience: Our fast-paced lives need some deceleration.
Goal #2: Destigmatize Affliction
Many well-meaning inventions fail—not because they aren't helpful, but because they aren't appealing. To improve day-to-day hardships, designers must do what cold, clinical solutions do not: treat those in need
as regular consumers, whose emotions drive decisions.
ReMotion Knee, by D-Rev
Made accessible: Pleasing prosthetics
In designing this knee (pictured with a JaipurKnee limb), D-Rev designers asked impoverished Indian patients about their needs. They expected to hear about utility, but instead, patients wanted stealth. Their hope was for a less-angular prosthetic that wouldn't protrude under pants or click when they walked.
Lucky Iron Fish, by The Lucky Iron Fish Project
Made accessible: An iron-rich diet
Much of Cambodia suffers from anemia. Cooking with iron helps, but local women aren't keen to add blocks of metal to their food. Iron shaped like a fish—a good-luck symbol—upped adoption rates.
Firefly Newborn Phototherapy, by Design That Matters
Made accessible: A cure for infant jaundice
Ten percent of infants worldwide require treatment for newborn jaundice, a condition of the skin and eyes. The cure is simple—shine blue light on the baby's skin—but lamps are rare in South Asia and Africa. Firefly's light is tailored for overcrowded clinics low on resources.
Making Policy Public, by the Center for Urban Pedagogy
Made accessible: New York's arcane laws
Street vendor regulations, the juvenile justice system, and voting districts—these systems preserve citizens' rights, but only if understood properly. This effort translates ordinances into friendly graphics and comics.
Goal #3: Rethink the Supply Chain
Manufacturing and shipping costs once decided which great ideas became actual products. But in today's world of 3-D printing and creative packaging, a designer can dream up a product—plus a new way to get it into people's hands.
WikiCell, by Le Laboratoire
New supply: Edible packaging
Wikicell's technology wraps your food up in a film you can eat—enabling new types of edible creations, or at least replacing Ziploc baggies. The goal, says inventor David Edwards, is to "get out of the plastic era." Less waste and more to eat: It sounds like a start.
4-D Printing, by MIT
New supply: Self-assembling products
Imagine opening a box and your new purchase snaps its parts into place by itself—self-assembling like a Transformers bot. This is what a team of MIT scientists have developed, and a wide application could have monumental impact: Consumer products or even medical supplies could be more compact and cost-efficient to ship.
Paper, by FiftyThree
New supply: Digitized art studios
This app transforms an iPad into a series of notebooks, and streamlines the creation process from idea to sketch to product. It's a big improvement over other sketch-book apps, which don't mimic the act of drawing as elegantly. The digital one-person studio can now be mobile.
AidPod, by ColaLife
New supply: Tapping corporate supply chains
Coca-Cola's global distribution network reaches remote communities, where medicine or aid often does not. AidPod piggybacks (with permission) on the company's supply chain, with anti-diarrhea treatment packets that are designed to tuck into the spaces between packaged soda bottles.
GOAL #4: Adapt to users
A smart product is built with the human form in mind: Rather than us having to integrate it into our lives, the product instinctively conforms to us. Ergonomic office chairs and the Wii game system are notable successes, but today's designs showcase even deeper insights into what people need.
No Place Like Home, by Dominic Wilcox
What it knows: We need directions
A phone's GPS can guide us through a city, but that still involves looking at a screen rather than the street. These GPS-embedded leather oxfords cut out the middleman: Look down and see the shoes' red lights blinking to direct you turn by turn.
Little Sun, by artist Olafur Eliasson and Wolff Olins
What it knows: Light is a luxury
Little Sun lamps are tailored to the needs of rural, off-the-grid communities, primarily in Africa. The heat-resistant and dust-proof discs absorb five hours of sunlight, then glow all evening long—and can go up to three years without a battery change.
Airblade Tap, by Dyson
What it knows: Public restrooms are ill-conceived
When you wash your hands at home, the towel is likely next to the sink. But in public restrooms, you have to take a trip from the faucet to the dryer—dripping water along the way. The Tap is a sink and dryer in one, delivering a more natural and efficient lavatory experience.
Oru Kayak, by Anton Willis
What it knows: Space comes at a premium
As urban centers swell and apartments shrink in square footage, we have to select our possessions more carefully. The origami-inspired Oru can morph like a Murphy bed: It goes from a portfolio-size briefcase into a full-fledged kayak, and weighs a portable 25 pounds.

The ColaLife product is genius. I wonder what other needed supplies could be piggybacked onto corporate supply-chains? My first thought is utilizing remote McDonald's destinations, providing additional vitamins or medication to children. Maybe.
The Automatic Hardware and App would be great- if the company could actually ship the units. It's been several months, several promises, and I along with many other early adopters still have not received them.

How long does it take an "everyman" to become just another Washington politician?
Twenty days, give or take.
After a decade of suffering a pseudo-Republican congressman, I was hopeful that Northeast Louisiana would at last have its conservative congressman. Vance McAllister certainly talked the talk, and I for one bought into it.
Yet, his first grand gesture was a vote to instantly rack up another $63 billion in debt, with an illusory promise that spending cuts will offset 10 years down the road.
If ignorance is bliss, at least he's enjoying himself.
First, money isn't free. We paid $415 billion in interest on the nation's debt this year. McAllister's $63 billion spending spree will bear 10 years of interest before the promised spending cuts come to fruition.
Second, and more importantly, Washington will never allow the future spending cuts to happen. To believe so is to achieve a level of Pollyannaism that even Pollyanna could not muster.
Mr. McAllister further claims that this budgeting feat was accomplished "without raising taxes." Except that it does. The bill raises $34 billion in revenue through fees that will be dumped into the general fund. In fewer words, a "tax."
President Obama's Solicitor General, no stranger to contorting that word, would blush.
Mr. McAllister is trumpeting this "bipartisan agreement," which "goes to show that both parties can work together." If Mr. McAllister gets to experience warm fuzzy feelings from working with Democrats to push us further into debt, I wish him all the happiness in the world. Someone ought to enjoy it.
But Mr. McAllister, if you do find any spare time, maybe you could try acting like a Republican every now and then. I realize that this is a lot to ask of a Louisiana congressman with an "R" next to his name.

The Bugs Of Nature's Economic Picture - Poem by Lorraine Margueritte Gasrel Black
The spider spins its web and waits to ensnare prey
then carefully wraps it up to save for another day
to feed its progeny.They also kill their mates.
If you break a sector of the web the whole thing shakes
but the spider can restore its web to its splendid glory
as long as it's alive and capable of doing so.
Should the spider get killed
another will take its place
in the scheme of Nature's design.
Worker bees buzz around and around
working very hard.
Their Queen of the hexagon chambered honey comb
-the lady of the house in her hive-
wears her crown and can be very large.
She gives birth to many drones,
generations who work hard.
Should the bees be disturbed
in anger they pursue any invaders
who tries to steal their hard earned nectar,
the prized honey in the hive.
They attack, defend to the end,
protect and rebuild, too.
Nature's pollinators have an important job to do.
The industrious ant works nonstop
worn down to their ecto-skeleton.
A close knit self sufficient bunch,
their society is based on what prey
and crumbs they find on the ground
and how they preserve
and hoard it for a rainy day.
Nature's ordered colony survives in co -operation.
The song of the cricket -Nature's weather bug
and the beauty of the butterfly
rising to meet the flower blooming in the sunshine
soothes all in reality
and, then raises the level of conscienceness from
the mundane and life's harshness
to the remarkable -for truth is found in beauty
and can stand on its own-
but does it shelter from the rain? -
O yes entertainment is important
but what's there to gain? The answer is in
the soothing of the aesthetic soul which
lifts spirits and shelters from the pain
in Nature's song of beauty.
Ah! ! ! How the lowly dung beetle -garbage collector
and funeral director -toils and serves
Nature's economic domain! ! ! ! !
Somebody- the fly's little under taker- maggots-
has to clean up the decaying, cluttering mess
before life begins again.
And those pesky critic gnats biting
drawing blood
with their bretheren,
sucking dry life from the living
dispiriting and infectious
so that ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes
and leeches can continue to
feed on the host without giving in return! ! ! ! !
And yet they are not the dregs of Nature's society
and in their turn are fodder for bats
and birds and aquatic creatures.
Nature's lesson on economy has much to teach
to us in order to gain insight on its intricacies.
Nature is an awesome teacher
and never fails to inspire
Nature is true to itself creating
every lifeform equally
from conception to death
showing no sentiment or favoritism.
Nature's spirit breathes in the
elements of earth, fire, water and air.
Upon the touch of Nature's personal design
in the natural order of life
the gentle or violent forces control
all in its path that are connected
with the magical invisible web.
Nature doesn't criticise
Nature doesn't judge.
Nature assigns each species a niche
Each aspect is important to the whole picture
and each aspect is affected by the strain of abuse
and final destruction,
only to metamorphis and evolve again
As Nature's victory.

Reads more like prose than poetry. Imagery isn't the sole domain of poetry. (Report) Reply

Any creative work should be as big or as small as is necessary to complete the work to its fullest potential.The only time editing is needed is if the work is redundant and repetitive.The last verse sums up my views of Nature's lessons.There is no morality guiding Nature's species except for humans who establish a code of right from wrong behavior..Our intellects set us above all residents of the natural world and those species live by instinct not social rules.

Leslie Philibert (2/12/2013 11:24:00 AM)
A good poem, I like it a lot, it does need a edit, and the message in the last verse overstates; let the first verses
as a description speak for themselves, edit out the heavy handed morality! (Report) Reply

the spiders, the bees, the crickets, the ants, the maggots and a few other animals are taken as the examples to teach economy...but our economy only booms and collapses to trouble our own species! Nice poem! (Report) Reply
Hardik Vaidya (2/12/2013 7:29:00 AM)
I loved the concept, but honestly I lost the fire some where. The eruption of green or barren grey or nature, its blood and its harmony and at the same time it's acute economy was not captured in the flow of the poem. However I was amazed by the concept. Truly a remarkable initiative. (Report) Reply

I just did a little more work on this particular poem.Apparantly I had more ideas to add to it and some corrections to make-well nobody's perfect and we can always learn something new..Hopefully it won't sound like a boring science report.I think I should stick to traditional styles of poetry.The elements and composition of freeform are still a mystery to me.

This might definately get into the school Anthologies for colleges, and universities studying on modern poems. The intricate design and texture of the poem can really be felt. This description of society is a very harsh fact of life. Usurp to the ranks by any means necessary. But sometimes, you have to sacrifice your most treasured possessions in order to do the right thing. If you want to have the better of life, you have to be willing to make choices, even the bad choices. Life is a strange thing and so is money. This poem has inspired me very much and I might be writing a new one very soon. I'll inform you when I do. And I'm giving you a 10 outa 10 for this one: -)

Barbara Terry (10/24/2008 2:16:00 PM)
You write very well Lorraine. The images you have painted here with natures blanket of grass, trees and seas, is truly a masterpiece. We should all take a lesson from Mother Nature, because like this free verse poem says; each has its place in the scheme of things and each does its share to keep the eco-system going. You get a 10 for this Lorraine because not only does this poem show us how Mother Nature survives, but it also shows us the responsibilities of each species. The only species on earth that does not take care of its responsibilities is the homo sapien. The homo sapien has polluted the air, the waters, and the ground, has a hate filled mentality, and strives only for itself never caring about itself or other homo sapiens. It is very sad that the human race refuses to take lessons from Mother Nature. Thank you for sharing.

Matt Johannsen knew his team was going to be in for a fight Tuesday night. The records may have indicated that Fort Collins was going to be outmatched by Fossil Ridge, but the SaberCats coach knew better.
And he was right. Collins jumped out to an early lead, but even as Fossil charged late to tie the game, the Lambkins held their nerve.
Collins had two shots to win at the end of regulation in a tied game, but missed them both. Instead of suffering a letdown, Will Duggan came out and nailed a 3-pointer on the first possession of overtime to give the Lambkins a wave of momentum that they rode to a 67-64 overtime upset of No. 6 Fossil Ridge.
Im lost for words. To beat an in-town rival, thats a great team, great coach, said Ryan French after escaping from the swarm of students that rushed the court. It feels so good.
French was excellent throughout. He had 13 in the first half and finished with a game-high 31 points on 11 of 16 shooting. He was the main man every quarter, hitting a big shot every time Collins (5-6, 2-2 Front Range League) needed it.
Then in overtime he was held scoreless, but others stepped up. Duggan gave Collins the momentum with the 3, then the Lambkins held their nerve at the line. Henry Deeter, who hadnt scored all game, hit all four of his free throws in overtime as Collins went 5-for-6 from the line after struggling much of the game from the charity stripe.
Weve done this a number of games where I thought our team has been good enough, had enough talent, we just didnt put together 32 minutes, Collins coach Monty Alcaraz said. Our kids did a nice job, weve kind of put closure on that.
Fossil (8-3, 2-1 FRL) struggled throughout to do the things it normally does well. Open shots werent falling, free throws were missed and Collins was able to get easy looks at the basket.
Everybody says are you looking forward to Fort Collins? I say not really, because theyre a heck of a lot better than people give them credit for, Johannsen said. Fort Collins outplayed us. Its as simple as that. We didnt hit our free throws, we turned the ball over too much, especially in the first half. We werent prepared, thats my fault.

over and over,
that we cover in tears,
don't stop,
forget the times,
but you built this place,
you raised me on this life,
now I've got the honor to restore it,
but I can't restore it,
since everything's too fake,
too fake,
I may be a lost cause but you know I'll be found eventually,
you can't hide me,
like you did for so many years,
too fake,
too fake,
you just play your piano,
acting like I didn't do anything,
when I was fighting for my life,
I don't belong anywhere with you,
since all you do is take me away,
you burn me down,
you take me down,
you make me feel torn,
like the thorns that you stabbed me with,
but i can't be special anymore,
i hope you understand.

Cyclosporine is available in its original form and as another product that has been modified (changed) so that the medication can be better absorbed in the body. Original cyclosporine and cyclosporine (modified) are absorbed by the body in different amounts, so they cannot be substituted for one another. Take only the type of cyclosporine that was prescribed by your doctor. When your doctor gives you a written prescription, check to be sure that he or she has specified the type of cyclosporine you should receive. Each time you have your prescription filled, look at the brand name printed on your prescription label to be sure that you have received the same type of cyclosporine. Talk to your pharmacist if the brand name is unfamiliar or you are not sure you have received the right type of cyclosporine.
Taking cyclosporine or cyclosporine (modified) may increase the risk that you will develop an infection or cancer, especially lymphoma (cancer of a part of the immune system) or skin cancer. This risk may be higher if you take cyclosporine or cyclosporine (modified) with other medications that decrease the functioning of the immune system such as azathioprine (Imuran), cancer chemotherapy, methotrexate (Rheumatrex), sirolimus (Rapamune), and tacrolimus (Prograf). Tell your doctor if you are taking any of these medications, and if you have or have ever had any type of cancer. To reduce your risk of skin cancer, plan to avoid unnecessary or prolonged exposure to sunlight and to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen during your treatment. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: sore throat, fever, chills, and other signs of infection; flu-like symptoms; coughing; difficulty urinating; pain when urinating; a red, raised, or swollen area on the skin; new sores or discoloration on the skin; lumps or masses anywhere in your body; night sweats; swollen glands in the neck, armpits, or groin; trouble breathing; chest pain; weakness or tiredness that does not go away; or pain, swelling, or fullness in the stomach.
Cyclosporine and cyclosporine (modified) may cause high blood pressure and kidney damage. Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had high blood pressure or kidney disease. Also tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications: amphotericin B (Amphotec, Fungizone); cimetidine (Tagamet); ciprofloxacin (Cipro); colchicine; fenofibrate (Antara, Lipophen, Tricor); gemfibrozil (Lopid); gentamicin; ketoconazole (Nizoral); melphalan (Alkeran); nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac (Cataflam, Voltaren), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), and sulindac (Clinoril); ranitidine (Zantac); tobramycin (Tobi); trimethoprim with sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra); and vancomycin (Vancocin). If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: dizziness; swelling of the arms, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs; fast, shallow breathing; nausea; or irregular heartbeat.
If you have psoriasis, tell your doctor about all the psoriasis treatments and medications you are using or have used in the past. The risk that you will develop skin cancer is greater if you have ever been treated with PUVA (psoralen and UVA; treatment for psoriasis that combines an oral or topical medication with exposure to ultraviolet A light); methotrexate (Rheumatrex) or other medications that suppress the immune system; UVB (exposure to ultraviolet B light to treat psoriasis); coal tar; or radiation therapy. You should not be treated with PUVA, UVB, or medications that suppress the immune system while you are taking cyclosporine (modified) to treat psoriasis.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your body's response to cyclosporine or cyclosporine (modified).
Cyclosporine and cyclosporine (modified) are used with other medications to prevent transplant rejection (attack of the transplanted organ by the immune system of the person who received the organ) in people who have received kidney, liver, and heart transplants. Cyclosporine (modified) is also used alone or with methotrexate (Rheumatrex) to treat the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (arthritis caused by swelling of the lining of the joints) in patients whose symptoms were not relieved by methotrexate alone. Cyclosporine (modified) is also used to treat psoriasis (a skin disease in which red, scaly patches form on some areas of the body) in certain patients who have not been helped by other treatments. Cyclosporine and cyclosporine (modified) are in a class of medications called immunosuppressants. They work by decreasing the activity of the immune system.
Cyclosporine and cyclosporine (modified) both come as a capsule and a solution (liquid) to take by mouth. Cyclosporine is usually taken once a day. Cyclosporine (modified) is usually taken twice a day. It is important to take both types of cyclosporine on a regular schedule. Take cyclosporine or cyclosporine (modified) at the same time(s) each day, and allow the same amount of time between doses and meals every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take cyclosporine or cyclosporine (modified) exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of the medication or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will probably adjust your dose of cyclosporine or cyclosporine (modified) during your treatment. If you are taking either type of cyclosporine to prevent transplant rejection, your doctor will probably start you on a high dose of the medication and gradually decrease your dose. If you are taking cyclosporine (modified) to treat rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of the medication and gradually increase your dose. Your doctor may also decrease your dose if you experience side effects of the medication. Tell your doctor how you are feeling during your treatment.
Cyclosporine (modified) helps control the symptoms of psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, but does not cure these conditions. If you are taking cyclosporine (modified) to treat psoriasis, it may take 2 weeks or longer for your symptoms to begin to improve, and 12 to 16 weeks for you to feel the full benefit of the medication. If you are taking cyclosporine (modified) to treat rheumatoid arthritis, it may take 4 to 8 weeks for your symptoms to improve. Continue to take cyclosporine (modified) even if you feel well. Do not stop taking cyclosporine (modified) without talking to your doctor. Your doctor may decrease your dose gradually.
You may notice an unusual smell when you open a blister card of cyclosporine capsules. This is normal and does not mean that the medication is damaged or unsafe to use.
Cyclosporine (modified) oral solution may gel or become lumpy if it is exposed to temperatures below 68 °F (20 °C). You can use the solution even if it has gelled, or you can turn the solution back to a liquid by allowing it to warm to room temperature (77 °F [25 °C]).
Cyclosporine and cyclosporine (modified) oral solution must be mixed with a liquid before use. Cyclosporine (modified) oral solution may be mixed with orange juice or apple juice but should not be mixed with milk. Cyclosporine oral solution may be mixed with milk, chocolate milk, or orange juice. You should choose one drink from the appropriate list and always mix your medication with that drink.
Cyclosporine and cyclosporine (modified) are also sometimes used to treat Crohn's disease (a condition in which the body attacks the lining of the digestive tract, causing pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fever) and to prevent rejection in patients who have received pancreas or cornea transplants. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this medication for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Avoid drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit while taking cyclosporine or cyclosporine (modified).
Your doctor may tell you to limit the amount of potassium in your diet. Follow these instructions carefully. Talk to your doctor about the amount of potassium-rich foods such as bananas, prunes, raisins, and orange juice you may have in your diet. Many salt substitutes contain potassium, so talk to your doctor about using them during your treatment.
If you forget to take a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Do not store this medicine in the refrigerator and do not freeze it. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Throw away any remaining solution 2 months after you first open the bottle. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Do not let anyone else take your medicine. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Over the past two decades the Kokoda Track has quickly become the perfect site for many people interested in adventure holidays and exploring a new and beautifully exotic world. The annual number of trekkers on the trail has been growing rapidly year after year as word spreads about the incredible experience the track has to offer. This influx of people is what encouraged the government to create the Kokoda Track Authority (KTA).
The KTA's main goal is to ensure that all trekkers are able to make it across the Kokoda Trail safely as well as to guarantee that the profits made from the trail will be funnelled back into the Papua New Guinea community. With the mass amounts of people hiking through the jungle each year, it is of the upmost importance to have proper facilities such as toilets, water stations, campsites and lodging for the trekkers to be able to cleanly and easily use.
There are pit toilets at almost all campsites and villages along the trail; most of these are well maintained, but this can vary from location to location. It is recommended that trekkers bring at least one roll of toilet paper with them. Pit toilets are usually used until they are full at which point the hole is buried in order to allow its contents to properly decompose.
In terms of water stations, there will typically be washing opportunities at almost all villages. These washing stations are present in the forms of either a lake or creek, where villagers funnel a stream of water through a hollowed out log or pipe.

Recently we have been admiring the work of Stuart Sinclair on Vimeo. It turns out he's just acquired a new Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens and his early experiments are quite something to behold. The first video shows how his footage can be used as a displacement map in Cinema4D to produce some abstract yet beautiful shapes. It shows the value of an organic process, as Stuart filmed liquid and composited it in After Effects using keyframes from the bass and the treble of the music to create an otherworldly and lively piece of motion graphics.
He has now posted up a second experiment with the macro lens, this time filming 'the little friends on his balcony'. Using a self-built macro studio and a plastic pot Stuart was able to capture the details of these bugs and insects, before motion tracking typography on in After Effects.
What is possibly most impressive about Stuart's personal pieces is how polished they feel, it's great to see animators take self-initiated projects seriously and publish such a creative sketchbook of motion design. Without experimenting we won't create anything original.
Stuart has been freelancing for 8 years since he graduated from Central St Martins. Check out his site here.

This is my last work customade. It is a small side table made of ash and beech. The client ask me for those two colors combination I dont like that much but money rules. Matsuri means party in japanese more or less and fireworks come into my mind when I thought of the design, so the main joint at this project is bridle.

A truly amazing piece!
I have never seen this type of splayed-wood joint before – it utterly cool!
What I can't figure out is how you keep the wood from splitting further in the future after the piece is done.
Any tips?
And you are correct – I think darker wood for the uprights would have been better, but the customer is always correct! :-)
Thanks for posting this – a great build!

Es un trabajo interesante. Un alarde de técnicas y buen hacer tradicinales. Si me permites una observación sin menosprecio de ningún aspecto de tu trabajo, sino por exponer otro enfoque que tal vez no tenga más valor que el de ser diferente: cuando diseño hago tengo en cuenta el número de elementos que se pueden enumerar a simple vista en el objeto. Luego procuro ajustarlos y coordinarlos como un todo. Si te interesa hablar del tema, estaré encantado.

Transcription date: November 12, 2012
Scrutiny: 15/01/2013 - Catchpole, Caroline;
Signed off: no
[[1]]1[p. 349]
Mr. Alfred Wallace informs me that he was present at a séance at Miss Nicholl's, in company with Mr. and Mrs. C. Pearson, Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Reeves, Major S. Geffcock, Mrs. Geffcock, and Mr. J. H. Gledstanes, when there came two showers of fresh flowers; among the first, was a fine water lily, which was given to him, though he did not particularly want it; when the second shower had come, the water lily had disappeared; a message then came, "The lily was for Julia." A lady at the table said her name was Julia, and curious enough, she had been to Covent Garden market that morning for a water lily, and could not find one. Later in the evening the missing lily was placed in her hand; afterwards each person found a small bunch of flowers had been placed before them, with a single strawberry upon each of the bunches.
Mr. Wallace also informs me that on several occasions, lately, he and a friend have had some very extraordinary manifestations at Mrs. Marshall's.
In a room, made perfectly dark for the purpose, they held long connected conversations with two spirits, one speaking in a loud whisper, and the other in a strong masculine voice; at times both voices, I am told by another person who was present, were heard speaking at the same time. These spirits gave the name of Katie and John King, and said they were the same spirits that accompanied the Davenports, and as one of the gentlemen who was present had often heard the voices in the presence of the Davenports, it is worthy of remark that he affirms, as I am told, that the tone and character of the voices heard at Mrs. Marshall's were the same as with the Davenports. If this be true, it is very important, and tends to destroy a theory I have formed, that as the voice necessarily obtains its power from the medium, it would present characteristics of that particular medium's tone [[2]] [p. 350] and manner of speaking. But nothing can be more dissimilar than the ordinary speaking voices of the Davenports and Mrs. Marshall's. Another puzzling fact is stated by Mr. Wallace, he says that Mrs. Marshall having to attend a party, in another room, he and his friend were left alone with Mr. Marshall, and they obtained the same results as if the acknowledged medium, Mrs. Marshall, had been present, "the spirit kept up the conversation with them just as freely as it had done before."
Mr. Wallace says, "We conversed with the spirits on a variety of topics--upon mediums, the progress of Spiritualism, the life in the spheres, and many other subjects, on all of which pertinent, witty, and very intelligent answers were given with great fluency and ease," and he adds that "many even who are Spiritualists will, I know, hardly credit these things as a reality, but to us who witnessed them repeatedly, the whole series of these manifestations stand out as the most authentic, as well as the most marvellous, we have ever witnessed."
Editor Charles H. Smith's Note: Description of a seance Wallace took part in with the medium Miss Nicholl, printed in Benjamin Coleman's column 'Passing Events--The Spread of Spiritualism' in the August 1867 issue of The Spiritual Magazine (London).

Recent Worldwide Trends In Entrepreneurship
A new breed of entrepreneurs is emerging.
Akosua Dardaine Edwards, founder of the Enabling Enterprise Project, examines some of the recent trends within entrepreneurship, considering the rise in female entrepreneurs, the increasing and more innovative financing methods available, and the rise of social entrepreneurship.
Over the last decade, entrepreneurship has come to the fore, not simply as a means of job creation and reviving the economy, but also as a means of introducing new ways of thinking and problem solving. Some experts have also suggested that entrepreneurship ought to be a way of life.
This article explores some of the trends within entrepreneurship which have emerged over the last decade, and their impact.
Women in Entrepreneurship
According to the latest Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) report, an estimated 126 million women were starting or running new businesses in 67 economies around the world in 2013. In addition, an estimated 98 million were running established businesses. These women are not only creating jobs for themselves and their co-founders, but are also employing others.
This is the highest increase in a decade, indicating that the entrepreneurial landscape has indeed shifted throughout the globe with the addition of these women
Financing of Entrepreneurs and Entrepreneurship
Over the last decade, the options available to entrepreneurs to finance their businesses have not only increased, but have also become more innovative and non-traditional. One example of this is crowdfunding, where businesses are funded through a large number of small donations in return for equity, interest payments or a lovely thank you.
Crowdfunding has become quite popular, particularly with the rise of social media and social entrepreneurial ventures.
Microfinancing is another method that has worked well, particularly in developing economies; small loans with high interest rates are given to women in particular, enabling these female entrepreneurs to start their micro enterprises. Bootstrapping is another method made popular by women, where creative methods are used to start and run an enterprise, such as using family and friends as employees, using credit cards to fund growth, scheduling payments to be made at the most optimum time, and bartering.
Social Entrepreneurship
The rise of businesses that solve social problems; or those that find innovative methods to make profits, whilst keeping in mind the impact on the community within which they operate.
Social entrepreneurs look not only at profit, but also at the role they play in improving lives and the world overall.
Akosua Dardaine Edwards is the founder of the Enabling Enterprise Project. The Enabling Enterprise Project is a progressive and interactive pilot project, which aims to partner Caribbean and international women's business support agencies, policy makers and women entrepreneurs from all over the world, for the enhancement, empowerment, exchange of ideas and experience, and best practice of women's enterprise and entrepreneurship worldwide.
Akosua has worked throughout many countries, including Uganda, Tanzania, India, the United Kingdom, and her native Trinidad and Tobago, with women and youth entrepreneurs, combining her expertise of entrepreneurship, empowerment and transformation

Warren G. Harding served as the 29th president of the United States.
- Filed Under
On Nov. 2, 1865, Warren Gamaliel Harding was born in Blooming Grove, Ohio; he was elected as the 29th president of the United States on his 55th birthday.
Political lore says that Harding's nomination as a compromise candidate at the 1920 Republican convention in Chicago was negotiated in George B.M. Harvey's room at the Blackstone Hotel. Room 404 became known as the "smoke-filled room," where Harvey, who was the first to back Democrat Woodrow Wilson for president, engineered a brokered convention in favor of the Ohio senator. The smoke-filled room was real, the negotiations happened, but ...
