Doctor Who reviewed: Peter Capaldi's charisma and experience will make him one of the great Doctors. He even allowed Matt Smith a farewell cameo, by JIM SHELLEY
Not much is natural in Doctor Who. But Peter Capaldi's debut as The Doctor was so astute and assured it quickly confirmed that he has the type of wily charisma that makes it a role he was born to play.
In fact Capaldi was so confident about his selection as only the twelfth actor to portray one of television's great icons that he even let himself be upstaged on his big night – not once but twice.
The Doctor's adversary in Steven Moffat's feature-length story 'Deep Breath' was a terrific character, a smartly-attired cyborg in a top hat whose 'mind' consisted of clockwork cogs we could see whirring away inside one side of his head.

New Doctor: Peter Capaldi's debut as The Doctor was so astute and assured it quickly confirmed that he has the type of wily charisma that makes it a role he was born to play
A clever composite of the disfigured war veteran Richard Harrow in Boardwalk Empire and the kind of unnerving creation you used to see in The Avengers, 'Half-Face Man' allowed actor Peter Ferdinando to steal every scene he was in, even – initially - those with Capaldi who was a model of restraint until The Doctor (uncharacteristically) exploded with rage, threatening he would kill him.
Secondly, the legions of fans mourning Matt Smith's departure were treated to one last glimpse of their idol when the previous incarnation of The Doctor so beloved by Clara Oswald appeared, phoning from Trenzalore about the new Doctor to implore her: 'help him, for me.'

A more insecure, inexperienced, actor might have found it undermining – the idea that his version of The Doctor might need help from his assistant especially considering that, two years after the big billing Clara was given when she first appeared (in 'Asylum of the Daleks'), she doesn't really do much these days.
As for Matt Smith's Doctor needing to intervene on the new Doctor's behalf that was slightly different. Capaldi demonstrated that beneath his skeletal, haunted, exterior he is capable of real tenderness as he tried to convince Clara (and the viewers) that Smith's call was really an illusion.
'You can't SEE me can you?!' he recognised, pleading: 'Have you got any idea what that's like?'
Clara just could not overcome the trouble she was having coming to terms with The Doctor's regeneration - the way he had gone from having the youthful cheek of Matt Smith to his new, older, greyer, persona.
'How do we fix him? How do we change him back?' Clara had asked, aghast, their ally, Lady Vastra, a Victorian lesbian lizard/ Silurian (don't ask). 'I'm sorry but I don't think I know who you are anymore,' she later told him.
Despite Matt Smith's call, Capaldi tried to make Clara understand there was only one Doctor; that he was still the same man (or rather Gallifreyan Time Lord).
'I wasn't listening. That was me talking.
'I'm not on the phone, I'm right here. Standing in front of you. Please just see me.'
So it was only a device but nonetheless, not every actor would have let such a successful predecessor in on his big entrance. (Smith's cameo predictably made all the headlines.)
Capaldi's low-key start was a welcome change to the zany antics of both Matt Smith and David Tennant when they burst into the show and which set the tone for The Doctor's previous two incarnations. It was always hard to shake the suspicion that the way Smith and Tennant played The Doctor with such ostentatious gusto was more about making themselves popular than just playing him. Their grinning idiocy didn't leave much room for The Doctor's fabled gravitas, borne of 2000 years time travel.
In Capaldi's capable hands this will return, while The Doctor's problems adjusting to his regeneration were less madcap and had more pathos.
'Don't look in that mirror !' he told the others. 'It's absolutely furious!'
Liver, spleen, brain steam, lungs...Clara and The Doctor look at the menu of the cyborgs' restaurant, slowly realising that they were not the customers but the Specials
Number 12: Capaldi's low-key start was a welcome change to the zany antics of both Matt Smith and David Tennant
As for his other features, he complained:
'Look at these eyebrows ! They're attack eyebrows. You could take bottle tops off with these. They're crosser than the rest of my face. They probably want to cede from the rest of my face and have their own independent state of Eyebrows.'
Only the in-joke that he now appeared to be Scottish cheered him up slightly.
Deciding on The Doctor's New Look was another.
'I need clothes,' he told a tramp. 'And a big long scarf… No, I'm a bit old for that. Looks stupid…'
Luckily, the new Peter Capaldi version of The Doctor decided that his New Look should not include 'a long scarf', muttering 'that's stupid.' He also stopped looking like Hugh Laurie
As for the plot, it was a surprisingly slow start with less of the pyrotechnics the show has increasingly relied on.
On the plus side, hopefully the casting of an older actor than Smith and Tennant will mean less of the endless chase scenes that padded out so many episodes in the last few series and will require The Doctor to use more guile.
The storyline picked up when it transpired that the restaurant The Doctor and Clara had been enticed to was frequented by cyborgs mechanically going through the motions of eating – and breathing – and that the 'Specials' on the menu were The Doctor and Clara themselves.
'Liver, spleen, brain stem, lungs…' the waiter recited.
The Doctor deduced the restaurant was in fact 'an ancient spaceship buried for centuries' and 'functionally, a larder' designed to provide the cyborgs with a constant supply of spare parts.
'How are you powering the ship?' The Doctor asked Half-Face Man.
'Skin,' he said simply.
The Doctor foiled him with surprising force.
The first episode of the era was spoiled only slightly by so much time being devoted to Lady Vastra, a Victoria lesbian lizard/Silurian. To non-Doctor Who geeks, don't ask...
Strax was presumably meant to bring an element of comedy but was just annoying, a disturbing cross between a phallic-looking baked potato and an alien Phil Mitchell
So all in all, it was an impressive, entertaining start for the new era, which will surely see Capaldi coming more and more to the fore.
Far too much screen-time in Deep Breath was devoted to Lady Vastra and her annoying valet Strax, a cross between a phallic-looking baked potato and an alien Phil Mitchell.
The other disappointments were the feeble new theme-tune, now without the famous
'WHOOOO-OOOOH, OOOOH-WHOOO', and the contribution of Jenna Coleman as Clara who has failed to make anything like the impact of Billie Piper as Rose Tyler or Karen Gillan as Amy Pond. There wasn't much chemistry between them and anyway Capaldi deserves his own assistant.
Moffat clearly wasn't taking any chances with the appeal of Capaldi's first episode (especially with American audiences). The Victorian setting and a CGI of a gigantic T-Rex bestriding Big Ben made Deep Breath more appropriate material for a Christmas edition.
Next week looks more exciting as Capaldi and Clara go to 'the most dangerous place in the universe', 'into darkness', with more fireworks. Oh yes, and the daleks.

Rates penalties for building owners who refuse to earthquake strengthen their buildings should be introduced, a Wellington property developer says.
Ian Cassels, speaking on behalf of the New Zealand Property Council, addressed the Wellington City Council today as part of hearings for its draft long-term plan.
Among the most pressing concerns was earthquake strengthening, he said.
The city had to learn lessons from the Christchurch experience, and take steps to stop the central city becoming a ''wasteland'' in the event of a major earthquake, by introducing rates penalties and rebates for properties that need strengthening.
''I'm not talking about vast amounts of money, I'm talking about a vast amount of commitment. We need to commit to doubling the rates on people that don't comply, and halving the rates on people that do comply.''
In particular, Cuba St, which houses many earthquake-prone buildings had to be looked at through a ''Cuba St project''.
While the move was likely to be unpopular it needed ''vigour'', he said.
Asked by councillor Iona Pannett about the importance of preserving heritage buildings, he said retaining the buildings would be preferable, but some buildings might need to be prioritised over others.
''We love the buildings we own and we'd like to save them all, but if you can't, you can't.''
The submissions are continuing today and tomorrow before adjourning until Tuesday next week.

The Papers and Writings of Abraham Lincoln: All Volumes (Illustrated)by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) is one of the most famous Americans in history and one of the country's most revered presidents. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the "Westerner" who educated himself and became a self made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln successfully navigated the Union through the Civil War but didn't live to witness his own accomplishment, becoming the first president assassinated when he was killed at Ford's Theater by John Wilkes Booth.
As impressive as his presidency was, one of his most lasting legacies was his writing. In addition to masterful writing for everything from orders to his generals and condolences to the aggrieved Mrs. Bixby, his Second Inaugural Address and Gettysburg Address are considered masterpieces that rate among the greatest writings in American history. Perhaps Lincoln's most impressive feat is that he was able to convey so much with so few words; after famous orator Edward Everett spoke for hours at Gettysburg, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address only took a few minutes.
In the generation after the Civil War, Lincoln became an American deity and one of the most written about men in history. Understandably, all of his writings and papers were intently scoured and collected, and they've been preserved in seven volumes of Papers and Writings. This edition of The Papers and Writings of Abraham Lincoln: All Volumes includes his speeches and writings from the 1830s until his death in 1865. The collection includes all of Lincoln's classics, including the "House Divided" Speech, the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, his iconic Inaugural Addresses, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the Gettysburg Address. It is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and pictures of Lincoln and his life, along with other famous leaders and generals of the Civil War.

I think the first quiz turned out to be more accurate, although I really like some of the descriptions in the second quiz. Seems that my signature line is on-track.

BREAKING - Assad pulls the "Kill Switch": Communications Cut, Damascus Burning & Airport Under Fire. Syrian Airspace Cleared
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
I'm pretty sure this has happened already, the US state department has backed the rebels since Day one. even though al-Qaeda back the rebels too...
the rebels continue to use terrorist tactics to overthrow the government and when Assad kills the terrorists western media spins it as civilian deaths.
but hey it's ok for Israel but not Syria right....
Assad has been re-elected since the uprising, by the people of Syria, the 22,000,000 that the media fail to account for on a daily basis, he has given all concessions required or demanded from the Arab uprising.
the FSA failed to put a political party together for a peaceful opposition to Assad, so instead the barely 100,000 strong militia, defectors and terrorists called the FSA (Free Syrian Army) are using violence to overthrow Assad.
imagine if there was a (Free America Army) using elements of al-Qaeda to overthrow Obama, how long would that last...??
anyway, if you read the following thread you will learn that this is all pro-Zionist pro NWO horseshit, pardon the language...

focusing and E620...
Mar 14, 2014
got the 620 out for use after a year. had problems with focusing tho. Couldnt get the little green focus box to show the focus setting, where the lens moves in and out and makes its cute little noise then takes the pic. only could get the little red lights to flash. then it was obvious thru the lens that the image was not going into and out of focus. tried all kinds of different settings, reset to factory. just got the green box twice so I know it can work.
got home and about half the pics were focused ok and half were out of focus. it was too bright out in the field to check for focus by looking at the recorded images on the camera. which settings do I use to get the green box?

A Start and a Stop
Hello again from Des Moines, the soggy branch office of the Chicago Cubs National League ballclub.
A bizarre homestand that began last weekend with a flood-delayed game played behind closed doors as a public safety precaution ended last night with the season's largest crowd witnessing the latest episode in the unraveling of Rich Hill.
One night after Sean Marshall required only 87 pitches to get 24 outs, Hill scatter-gunned 45 before he was taken into custody after a mere two-thirds of the first inning.
He hit batters, batters hit him, he walked #'s 29, 30, 31 and 32 in 28 Iowa innings, threw in a wild pickoff throw that seemed almost gratuitous and generally made a[n] [Steve Bl]ass of himself before being ushered to the showers by tepid applause that was as unwarranted here as it would have been at a gallows.
How appropos that the opponent for the Iowa Floods was the New Orleans Hurricane.
The visitors' operatic lineup sparkled with Gustavos and Casanovas and Rauls and Valentinos and Pascuccis.
Understudies to Marshall on Thursday night, they killed Hill in the first act on Friday before the concessionaires had beaten back the first charge of a crowd in excess of 11k.
Marshall apparently won't be here much longer. He's ripe and ready for the call. As for Hill, he's best-suited right now for casting as Nuke Laloosh in a 'Bull Durham' remake.
The anti-climactic pitching note of the evening was the appearance of a young moose named Estrada for the I-Cubs. Recently promoted from Tennessee where his #'s were ordinary, he's listed at 6'8" and 260#. So far in two stints here he's allowed five hits and two runs in seven innings while walking zero and fanning 10. File him under future reference.
Following the good example of their parent club the I-Cubs now hit the road still in first place - high and, more importantly, dry...MW
Re: A Start and a Stop
Funny, I was just going to comment on the "Steve Blass Disease" before you mentioned it - perhaps it's time to see a sports psychologist at this point? No one has said anything about a mechanical or physical problem, so what else can the club suggest? It would be a damn shame if he can't work this thing out, we don't need another Rick Ankiel in the makings here.
Re: A Start and a Stop
Have you seen Rich run or swing? His only chance is pitching. The Rink Ankiel analogy definitely only goes as far as the meltdown.
Re: A Start and a Stop
Rich Hill, you say? He's a lefty, correct?
When I was a kid, and the Cubs were mediocre to terrible every year (yes, we all share a common history), I focused a lot of my fanboy energy on individual performances. Because, really, what else was there to root for, especially when August rolled around? So it meant something if Madlock was gunning for the league batting title or Sutter was in line for a Cy Young, or Rick Reuschel was going for his 20th win. And I was just a kid.
As I got older and more forlorn over the state of the Cubs, I became less enamored of the individual players (they ain't family and they ain't friends) and more concerned about how they were actually helping the team win games. DLee's 2005 was special because his awesomeness was helping the team win more games than it probably should have, but once the team started to swoon (around the time Barrett threw down to third in Philly to allow the winning run to waltz in), I couldn't have cared less if Lee won the Triple Crown. To paraphrase Al (DeNiro) Capone: "Individual performance...eh, it's not so good."
Which brings us to Rich Hill. Do I want him to do well? Sure. But only in the context of him helping the big club. Even if he threw 7 shutout innings for Iowa, who cares? (Other than Iowa Cubs fans?) If it meant he got his shit together and yet still crapped his pants in the Bigs, what's the point? Even if he never throws another pitch for the big team, I could care less about the guy. Because if he never makes it back, then that means he's continued his descent into uselessness at the MLB level and he'd only be a drag on the team. Is it a waste of talent? Not really. I mean, either you got it or you don't.
I'd feel the same way if it was DLee, Aramis or Zambrano. If you're not helping the team win, adios. Once you've outlived your usefulness, you're dead to me. Get someone else, even if your last name is Sandberg, Williams or Banks. What the Astros did to ensure Biggio got his 3000th hit last season was ludicrous. The guy was an anchor dragging the entire offense down.
For all the time and money invested in Hill, he's given the Cubs about 1.5 seasons (if that) of effectiveness. Is his career circling the drain? Hard to say. But I wouldn't stay up nights worrying about it.
Re: A Start and a Stop
It's not like he lost his stuff. Rich Hill is still virtually unhittable. But thanks to meddling with his delivery, he's got no idea where the ball is going anymore.
Re: A Start and a Stop
I don't stay up at night for Hill, but I hate to see the team tinker with the guy and steer him in the wrong direction. If he's that fragile maybe he'll never make it for other reasons in the future.
Once the Cubs release the guy, another organization will give him a contract, a baseball, and tell him to throw the ball his way. He'll have another chance in MLB, and either make a career or start selling used cars (he went to Michigan, right?)

I believe Willson now has more CS than MIggy. The kid has an arm. Also, Russell is amazingly good on those plays at 2nd.
oh yeah...thanks joe/billy.
poor outing, still got the win, go cubs.
Although it felt like it, Jake didn't lose to them -- he got the W. (Assuming you are referring to Monday's game)
Arrieta didn't lose to the Reds. He got the win -- he just didn't pitch like we expect him to.
almora's 1st HR!
it's not like this CIN team is lost-cause horrible, but aside from defense and power this is a truly horrible team.
kinda crazy arrieta lost to them and yesterday's game had to go 15 innings for the cubs win.
It looked like Hamilton got screened by Duvall and that Duvall just barely deflected the ball off of his glove--redirecting it slightly without taking away much of its momentum.
At least it didn't turn into a Schwarber/Fowler situation. Hamilton and Duvall are both pretty important youngish players for the Reds.
he walked off the field on his own. aside from a concussion watch and some attention to his leg/knee that buckled a bit under him, the biggest thing hurt was probably his pride after the ball knocked off his skull.
After last night, an inside-the-park HR seems kind of run-of-the-mill somehow.
Sounds bad for Hamilton. Hope he's okay--listening on the radio.
SHOW ME THE MONEY: Jose Albertos has signed with Mega-Agent Scott Boras.
Albertos has already received his signing bonus and won't see any additional significant money until he reaches the big leagues, so this is a long-term investment for the Boras Corporation.
I am glad Joe is managing this team and not Old and Blue!
Baez had Maddon's ass last night. I didn't hear the reason for taking Contreras out last night but whatever game management thingy it was, you don't take out your second hottest hitter. Or is he third? Anyway, you don't take him out. The guy can probably play anywhere in the field, anyway. Did anybody see that nice catch in left he made? I don't think he got a late start on that, just tracked it damn well for a catcher.
Per Fangraphs...
Bryant took over NL lead in WAR after yesterday's effort. 3.9. Rizzo's at 2.8 and 8th in the league. Rizzo actually with better offensive numbers (161 wRC+ versus 146 for Bryant), but Bryant gets a good bump because of defense and position(s) played.
Fowler with a 2.8 WAR as well (9th), Zobrist with a 2.7 (14th).
M. Carpenter leads NL with 163 wRC+ just ahead of Rizzo who is 2nd.
@jonahkeri Joe Maddon living out Joe Maddon fanfic IRL tonight
yes. I was at the Sean Marshall game in LF. Lou Piniella was managing. StL won 4-2, so I guess it didn't help but it was zany. Soriano/Reed Johnson and Marshall were the LF's.
On a 6 degrees of separation note: Cubs got Travis Wood in the trade that sent Sean Marshall to Cincy.

We serve many topics. BPM, BA and SOA have their own communities at BPMInstitute.org, BAInstitute.org and SOAInstitute.org. Other topics listed here have their own dedicated section.
Practitioners in our field have long been evangelizing on the critical link between decision management and predictive analytics. As James Taylor accurately and succinctly stated "Decision Management operationalizes predictive analytics. Traditional approaches to analytics are hard to scale and hard to use in the real-time environment required in modern enterprise architectures."
On cue I noted with great interest several writers predicting analytics trends for 2016. These included:
I suspect we all agree that it's very important for business architecture to demonstrate valuable results in a reasonable timeframe. There is nothing more discouraging for business architects and their sponsors than effort spent on modeling for its own sake, or continuous planning to plan the plan. Here, in this article, we have a method that quickly leads to tangible results, while building the foundation for a continuous flow of valuable results from business architecture.
As a recent research study of The Gartner Group shows , only 13% of business meets their strategic goals [1]. This means 87% of organizations prepare strategic plans and related objectives —but they don't deliver on their strategy, at least not fully. This situation will get even more challenging with the intensifying digitalization and the adjustment of strategies to this trend. Less than 1% of companies have prepared their business processes to realize the potential of our digital world according to the same study. Hence the risk of not executing successfully on a business strategy incorporating the opportunities of digitalization becomes even higher. A just release study by BPM-D, Widener University and the Universidad de Chile demonstrates that over 55% of companies have issues finding the right opportunities to benefit from digitalization or struggle with the resistance to change and the slow decision making [2].
What stories do you tell others about the early days of computers, before their capacity to process and store information vastly expanded? Do you express amazement at the fantastic state of current digital technology? What about the down sides? Do your stories also include the inconsistencies within applications that frustrate us all? Do you speak about the enormous cost and time required by software engineering processes to develop and maintain systems? Do you comment on the complexity needed for systems to communicate with other systems?
You can't improve something which you cannot measure. This is a basic tenet in six-sigma and many other process improvement methodologies. Yet few organizations even consider trying to objectively measure any aspect of the quality of the process models which they implement at the core of their process improvement initiatives. Fortunately, this is an area where the use of a BPM platform offers significant advantages over other technical approaches. The fundamental difference between a BPM solution and a traditional code solution is the existence of an explicit representation of the business process, including the steps, their sequencing, branching and looping, worker assignments and external interfaces. This process representation makes it possible to reason about the characteristics of a BPM solution in ways that are much more difficult with other technologies.
Low-code apps are maturing and being adopted in more and more corporations - often taken in by the business users. IT often sees them as threat and a risk. But they can help IT and make them able to be more reactive and supportive to the business users' needs. But, are they too much power in the hands of citizen developers who are fragmenting the IT architecture? However, cloud low code apps mean that IT will struggle to control their growth/usage. This article explores the pros and cons and the right reaction from the CIO.
The business is now in controlNow that every organization is dependent on technology, Line Of Business(LOB) management are more aware of the capabilities and potential for technology to drive transformational change before their business is undermined by a more nimble, technology enabled start-up.
Something I have noticed that seems to be lacking in the field of business architecture is pragmatism. Many BA's I speak with are frustrated at the difficulty they are having in expanding their business architecture practices and in building relationships with business leadership. I believe this is often rooted in unrealistic expectations built from reading BA literature, listening to exaggerated success stories at conferences, and the assumption that what worked somewhere else will work for their company. To all aspiring business architects out there, let me give you a tip: be realistic. Business architecture is definitely more art than science. The following are five examples of how to pragmatically approach working with the business.
Ricoh is a global technology company, best known for its familiar range of office equipment and services including printers, projectors, document management systems and IT services. Headquartered in Sydney, Ricoh Australia maintains branches in all mainland capital cities.
New services herald a time of changeIn the last five years, Ricoh's Australian operations have been through enormous change. Acquisitions and expansion into new markets, including the development of highly successful professional services and IT services arms, have resulted in the company doubling in size since 2010. Headcount has risen to over 1,100 employees. Major new customers have signed on with the company. To accommodate their needs, many new processes have been developed and old ones changed.
Declan O'Reilly, Business Excellence Manager, describes it as an exceptionally busy period and one that has been dramatic in terms of change.
The title of the book that made Geary Rummler and Alan Brache authorities in the emerging field of process improvement and management back in 1990 was Improving Performance, but it was the subtitle (How to Manage the White Space on the Organization Chart) that caught attention. Decades later, people still refer to it as the "white space" book; that was why Geary's 2009 follow-up to Improving Performance was entitled White Space Revisited.
Today the term "white space" has entered common parlance. There are even a couple of consulting firms using the term in their names. It's come to mean any general lack of connection between things that should be connected. But its original meaning still has value for BPM and Operational Excellence.
Whether driven by top-down mandate or won through demonstrated bottom-up success, there is a point when business architecture achieves "enough" acceptance within an organization to formalize an internal practice. While there are many steps to take throughout the journey of establishing and maturing a business architecture practice, there are four cornerstones that when put into place, can accelerate the process and create significant clarity.
The Need for Formalization As business architecture's footprint expands within an organization and as the team grows, there is an increasing need for:

Proporta Gadget Bags and Quillit 3 in 1 Stylus Pen
By Louis Senecal
Below are a couple general accessories that I thought you would be interested in. Proporta sent me these to try out and I wanted to share my experiences. There are two separate write ups below and all of my pictures are at the end. These are multi purpose accessories and can be used with all of your tech.
Quillit 3 in 1 Stylus Pen
The Quillit stylus has three components. Regular pen, Brush Stylus and a Nib stylus. The overall pen/stylus is very sharp looking. It's light but has enough weight to it to feel substantial. I have been using this combo for geocaching as I need a writing utensil to mark the logs in the caches I find as well as the Nib stylus end for my GPSr touch screen.

hfvalenz on Mama Said Deck You Out

I think Isochron Scepter needs more imprintable cards, only 2 have CMC =< 2 as of now. Maybe you can cut it or add more low cost spells, like Thought Scour for example.
Increasing Confusion maybe could work here. Also, Jace, Memory Adept is a planeswalker that fits the theme.
Oh yeah I almost forgot Trepanation Blade and Undead Alchemist!
Sorry for the monocolored suggestion though.

I've got Genesis Wave, Phenax, God of Deception, Mogis, God of Slaughter, Jace, Memory Adept, Obstinate Baloth, Scourge of Valkas, Endless Ranks of the Dead, Grimgrin, Corpse-Born, and Hedron Crab for cards over $3 that I'm willing to trade. I've got some filler cards like Thought Scour and Galvanic Blast that can be thrown in.
Do you live near Layton? I go to a card store called Game Haven on Fridays for the free Modern tournament. If you're close we could meet up.

Gloom Surgeon might work as a blocker that helps you thin your library.Doesnt feed the GY though.
Jace, Memory Adept may be useful aswell
Hunson_Abadeer on Milling Faeries
2 weeks ago
I like the idea of the deck but I think some things could be fixed up about it. I would use faeries like Spellstutter Sprite, Quickling, Mistbind Clique, and depending on your budget Vendilion Clique. Having some control to a mill deck is always helpful. Quickling can save your other creatures from being killed by putting them into your hand and can also work in combo with mistbind very well. also faerie miscreant works well with quickling and tutelage.
I would also throw in cards that mill a decent amount: Mind Funeral, Breaking, Glimpse the Unthinkable (if budget is not a concern).
Hedron Crab works wonders with fetch lands.
Crypt Incursion is a great way to gain a lot of life.
Visions of Beyond and Thought Scour are good with tutelage.
Jace, Memory Adept his 0 ability is good and he also can have you draw a card to work with tutelage as well.
I hope this helps at least a little! happy milling
QuantumSkies on License to Mill!

Your Vedalken Entrancer could be replaced by Merfolk Mesmerist. It is essentially the same but you can get Merfolk Mesmerist out two turns earlier for some more mill. Perhaps removing Altar of the Brood for Sands of Delirium because I think Sands of Delirium would be faster. Your Jace, Unraveler of Secrets is good but if you really want to stick to the theme, Jace, Memory Adept would be better because of his boss second ability. Flame Slash can replace your Bathe in Dragonfire. I see that this is budget and Visions of Beyond is a little pricey but it could replace some of your investigate mechanics, I don't think you will do that though. Dream Twist could be replaced with Startled Awake Flip, and Traumatize is a really good card so any could go. All the suggestions require more land however...

Deez Nuts
By Alex Brown and Evan George
These three nut recipes work extremely well together both in terms of taste and timing. While you don't necessarily need to make all three at once, the cook times for these three make for some pretty sweet simultaneous preparation. If you feel like it, you can heat and plate these three types of nuts for a triple-threat single landing—which will subdue even the most ravenous of party guests.
The main thing to keep in mind when working with nuts is: They continue to cook after they come up to temperature. When you are roasting, toasting, frying, etc. raw nuts, you really only need to start seeing color change to warrant removal from flame.

7:30pm: I have just finished a 40 minute live chat with a 123-reg support person called [name removed] who was brilliant. He didn't seem to be juggling 10 conversations at once. If something was going to take a few minutes to find out he would say so. There was one question that he didn't know the answer to but was honest enough to say so rather than give me a load of rubbish. Several times when I asked "can I do ..." he simply answered "no". That's all I want - a straight answer.

There are so many parenting myths in circulation in society. Many are obviously myths and therefore easy to ignore. Others however seem far more ingrained and sound far more plausible. The plausibility and popularity of some of the top parenting myths cause a great deal of misunderstanding, and often stress, for parents of toddlers.
He is a disloyal, food stealing, baby waking, neighbour visiting, smelly trip hazard... but for some reason we keep him around. The dog came to live with us a year or so before the toddler was born. As a baby, she was fairly disinterested in him, as he was in her (with the obvious exception of meal times).
Before I went, I had a post in mind about travelling with two small children. It was going to be something wise and profound which would have people nodding sagely and thinking 'I learned something today'. Obviously I got more than I bargained for and so, much like the plane on the return journey, my foray into travel blogging didn't quite take off as intended.

Shooting of Star-Packed Expendables 3 to Start in Bulgaria Next Month
The shooting of "The Expendables 3", an action movie packed with old-school stars, is to start in Bulgaria on August 19, according to local media.
The shooting in the Bulgaria-based NU Boyana Film Studioswill take 10 weeks, the Monitor daily says.
The movie's impressive cast is expected to include Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Milla Jovovich, Mel Gibson, Jackie Chan, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Wesley Snipes, among others.
Media reports say Mel Gibson is likely to play the main villain.
There are also rumours that Steven Seagal might also make an appearance. The Expendables 3 is being directed by Red Hill helmer Patrick Hughes, and is due to arrive on screens in August 2014.
The third installment of the action-adventure franchise has been eagerly anticipated by fans after the success of "The Expendables 2", which was also filmed mainly in Bulgaria.

Title: Why is Mentzelia oligosperma called chickenthief?
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Could you tell me why Mentzelia oligosperma is sometimes called chickenthief?
Mr. Smarty Plants would like to be able to tell you the origin of the common name of Mentzelia oligosperma (Chickenthief), but I'm afraid I have had absolutely no luck in finding it after extensive searches on the internet and in my many botanical books. Apparently I am not alone. Here is the response from eXtension Ask an Expert. I can give you some insight the origins of its botanical name. The genus "Mentzelia" comes from the name of the German botanist, Christian Mentzel (1622-1701). The specific name "oligosperma" means "few-seeded" (oligo = few, sperma = seeds). The Mexican name for the plant is "pegajosa" which means "sticky."
Here are some admittedly wild guesses as to the origin of the name "chickenthief."
- I doubt the plant's leaves are sticky enough to entrap an adult chicken, but maybe baby chicks have been trapped and couldn't get out to follow the hen.
- The name does sound a lot like "stickleaf" and maybe someone heard it as "chickenthief" rather than "stickleaf" and repeated the name to others.
- Maybe it was an attempt to give the plant a sort of Cockney Rhyming Slang name.
