Age, on-the-job injuries and illnesses, and days away from work
November 15, 2005
Older workers require more days away from work to recover from a workplace injury or illness than do their younger counterparts.
The median number of days away from work for all workers was 8 days in 2003; for those aged 55-64, it was 12 days, and for those aged 65 and older, it was 18 days.
Older workers have more disabling conditions like fractures and multiple injuries than do younger workers. And similar events lead to more severe injuries in older workers than in others.
Data from the BLS Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities program provide a wide range of information about workplace injuries and illnesses and the demographics of the workers involved. Additional information is available from "Injuries, illnesses, and fatalities among older workers," by Elizabeth Rogers and William J. Wiatrowski, Monthly Labor Review, October 2005.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Age, on-the-job injuries and illnesses, and days away from work on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2005/nov/wk2/art02.htm (visited September 30, 2016).

Tender green shoots of carrots, onions and tomatoes flutter in the morning breeze in the soil plots across the community garden. Soe Meh, a refugee from Burma, stands with wrinkled, smiling eyes, looking fondly upon the young plants.
"She would just love to be here every day," says Maria Sanchez, director of Realizing Our Community, a nonprofit that integrates refugees and other minorities into the community. "She just looks forward to this."
Soe Meh is among a dozen or so refugees and other newcomers who gather at Greeley's newest community garden each Monday and Wednesday morning, tilling the soil, watering and weeding. Like Soe Meh, who manages to work at the garden five days a week, they look forward to the chance to grow food for their tables, as well as feel a connection to their fellow refugees and their new community.
Greeley, which offers jobs at the meatpacking plant and other low-skilled workplaces, is now home to about 1,800 Somalis and 1,200 Burmese.
Realizing Our Community established the Women of the ROC as a way to teach refugee women " usually left at home during the day while their husbands work " skills such as sewing, pottery and basic English. The program expanded this year into the Fresh Food Initiative, which partnered with the city of Greeley and various volunteers and received two grants from the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, about $1,200 in total, to provide materials and plants for the community garden.
Tim Preston, owner of the Clay Center of Northern Colorado art studio, 1024 6th Ave. in Greeley, who donated the 3,000 square feet of land behind the center for the garden, weighs the first batch of veggies grown in the eight 4-foot-by-8-foot plots tended by the refugees.
"We are one ounce short of a pound," Preston exclaims to the group, who wear colorful dresses and the headscarves of their homelands. Most of the gardeners this morning are from Burma, while a few others are from Latin American countries.
The Clay Center garden is the third community garden operated by the city of Greeley. The other two are at the University of Northern Colorado and Plum Farm.
Several UNC dietetic students, who are involved with the community garden at UNC, were among the volunteers helping the refugees on Wednesday morning at the Clay Center. Also on hand was Deb DeBoutez, a neighborhood program specialist for the city of Greeley who coordinates the community gardens.
The language barrier is so severe that volunteers hand the refugees pictures of the vegetables " everything from chiles and cucumbers to eggplant and cilantro " so they'll know what they're growing.
"It's going to be a real learning experience for all of us," DeBoutez says. "Their history is so interesting as village farmers and to come here and live in apartments, it's got to be such a culture shock. Hopefully, this is a way to get them closer to their roots."
Mainly, the Fresh Food Initiative is looking for donations that will pay for 30 bus passes a week to help get the refugees " many of who live near the Greeley Mall " to the downtown garden. They are also seeking bicycles and donations for the sewing and pottery programs offered by Women of the ROC.
Already, "we've had many people be very kind and donate," Sanchez said. "It's more than being about a community garden. It's about working together. It's about a whole lot more than food."
The growers will get the chance to sell their vegetables at the Greeley Farmers Market this summer, and they will also learn about preparing healthy meals through the UNC dietetics students.
Jamie Erskine, a professor of dietetics and nutrition at UNC, said UNC students are benefiting from being more connected to the wider Greeley community through the gardens. The refugees benefit from a better diet afforded by the fresh produce.
Many of them come to the United States and quickly adopt the host country's propensity for fatty, sugary and salty foods.
"We'd like to orient them to more fruits and vegetables," Erskine said.
The eight Fresh Food Initiative plots join the eight vegetable beds put in at the Clay Center's community garden last year, along with nine other raised beds made of donated landscape brick. There are also a couple dozen 20-gallon containers for growing other plants scattered around.
Children of the refugees draw shapes in the dirt at the feet of Preston as he weighs the onion tops and spinach grown so far.
He smiles brightly at the first edible crops of this melting pot community effort.
"It's a community art center," he said of the Clay Center, which he bought two years ago. "I teach pottery classes out of here. We've got all kinds of plans to make this a community enterprise. And this (garden) seems like a perfect fit."

For businesses to operate efficiently and for individuals to know their net worth, they need accurate and timely financial records. General accountants provide these services using industry standards and while following applicable government regulations. They typically work 40 hours a week but usually work longer hours during tax season or when financial reports are due.
General accountants manage, record, organize and process a range of financial records. They can handle general tasks such as budgeting, storing and reporting on transactions, computing and paying taxes, and verifying information. However, they consult specialists when working on detailed issues, such as determining the deductibility of a capital expense over the long term. They may also rely on accounting clerks to perform repetitive tasks such as payroll. They must meet frequently with clients or with department managers to discuss ways to improve profit and increase net worth, and to explain their methods and findings.
Employers look for at least a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or a related field, which is available at most colleges and universities, and takes four years to complete. Those working at higher levels often have a master's degree, sometimes in business with an accounting concentration. General accountants who must file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission must be Certified Public Accountants. The credential requires at least 150 hours of college coursework and passing a national exam. Certification is also available from such national organizations as the Institute of Management Accountants or the American Institute of CPAs.
As of May 2011, accountants earned a mean $70,130 per year, or $33.72 per hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The best-paid 10 percent earned more than $109,870 yearly, or $52.82 hourly, while the lowest paid 10 percent received under $39,640, or $19.06 per hour. They are predicted to see job increases of 16 percent through 2020, which is less than the 17 percent expected for all business and financial operations occupations, but slightly more than the 14 percent projected for all jobs in all professions. Behind the demand are corporate scandals and the financial crises, which have focused on the need for verification and stricter controls that accountants can provide.
About 284,070 out of the total 1,085,150 accountants worked for accounting, tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll services, which included those who went into business for themselves. Ranking a distant second for employment, with 78,040 positions, were companies that took over the management of other organizations, either on a consulting basis or through hostile takeovers. The state with the most opportunities for the profession was California with 121,590 jobs. New York topped all metropolitan areas for jobs, with 64,450.

At long last, an intelligent flash. Finally sprang for the Canon 580ex and am finding I don't have to do as much thinking as with previous less automatic flashes. Don't have to take several test shots before I hone in on a good exposure. Here I was testing out the off-camera cord and put the flash on a LIGHTWEIGHT light stand. Emphasis on the "lightweight" because it easily tipped over from the pull on the curled cord that attaches it to the camera. (That's why I saw an assistant carrying what looked like sandbags on the instruction DVD for the flash. Well worth the $20 price for that DVD, by the way.) I pointed the flash at the side of the cat opposite to the sliding door, which gives lovely light on one side, but requires some sort of fill light on the right. A smaller aperture would give me greater depth of field. There were some tell-tale shiny reflections of the wood, but I either cloned or patch-tooled them out. By the way, this room has a vaulted ceiling which goes from 9 to 12 feet in height - not an ideal situation for bounce lighting. You can see the catchlights in her eyes that were created by the catchlight reflector built into the 580ex.

Spring 2016: Aidan Koch
We are super excited to announce our visiting artist workshops for Spring 2016.
First, Aidan Koch will be returning Feb 29-March 4. Her workshop in 2015 amazed all the attendees.
Sam Alden canceled due to professional obligations. Sorry everyone. Stay tuned for more info about a future workshop…
Important information about HOUSING:
Price does not include housing.
We will make every effort to house the participants in informal and empty rooms in friendly houses in the Gainesville area. If there is a charge, it will fall on the student. We will make every effort to keep this affordable for the week. Most houses will be walking distance from SAW, but some may need bikes. We will try to accomodate this too. We will post more info as soon as we know, and email all participants personally with assistance in finding places to stay. Participants are invited to email us for assistance.
For those interested, we also recommend the Gainesville Zen Hostel, here.
Or AirBandB, which has spare beds and bedrooms in various houses, check them out here: https://www.airbnb.com/s/Gainesville–FL
Spring 2015: Aidan Koch and Ed Piskor
We're unbelievably excited to announce next year's SAW Visiting Artist Workshops for Spring 2015.
Aidan Koch
March 2-6, 2015 sees Adian Koch come to Gainesville. Koch's lyrical, moving and often abstract comics have been wowing people for years since we first saw The Whale in 2010 and then her Xeric Award-Winning The Blonde Woman. Since then, she has out-shined anyone working with similar methods or material be it abstraction, paint, color, memory or nature.
Her workshop happens during UF /Santa Fe Spring Break. You can see Aidan Koch's website here.
Ed Piskor
The following week SAW welcomes Ed Piskor, crazy genius behind Hip-Hop Family Tree (Fantagraphics) and Wizzywig (Top Shelf).
Hip-Hop Family Tree was the comic destined to happen. Somewhere in early 1980s there is cosmic particle rattling around Manhattan and The Bronx, and that particle said "take me to the one who will document this" and it smacked Ed Piskor in 2010 right in the third eye.
Piskor's website is is here . He comes to Gainesville March 9-13, 2015.
Registration and payment links to follow.
John Porcellino in Chicago, June 2-6, 2014
We were honored to team up with The Chicago Publishing Resource Center to host John Porcellino for his terrific week-long workshop, "Making Comics Out of Life."
This workshop was Monday June 2- Friday June 6, 2014 at the ChiPRC, 858 N. Ashland Avenue.
Directions and info about the space in Chicago: http://chiprc.org/about/
Does not include housing. SAW, John and the ChiPRC are offering no assistance in finding Chicago housing, though SAW can put students in touch with each other if need be. Email us. Please be resourceful, try couchsurfing.com, or airbandb, or friends of friends.

Crowds flocked to Pioneer Park to enjoy games and activities, listen to the Lewiston Community Band perform and enjoy some festive independence day food. Even some of us here at KLEW news got to be involved in the family fun day... though it was a bit more wet for us than most attendees.
"I'm cooled off and loving it," said KLEW-TV Anchor Morgan Aguilar. "I was really nervous before the ball was thrown but now that I'm in the water it's great."
Our very own Morgan Aguilar right there, being a very good sport at the dunk tank, which raised money for the Lewiston High School cheer squad. Along the edge of the park, classic cars lined up as everyone enjoyed a sunny day at the park. The event is held annually at Pioneer Park for the fourth of July.

Sarkozy, Fillon Popularity Ratings Fall to Record Low, TNS Says
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Prime Minister Francois Fillon's approval ratings fell to a record low as they face voters' defiance over pensions changes and a series of scandals involving government ministers, the TNS Sofres institute said in a survey.
Sarkozy's popularity fell 2 percentage points from June to 26 percent, according to the poll released today in Le Figaro Magazine. Seventy-one percent of respondents said they disagreed with his policies, according to TNS Sofres.
Fillon's approval rating also dropped 2 percentage points, to 35 percent, the Paris-based institute said.
TNS Sofres telephoned 1,000 people aged 18 or older between June 25 and 28 for the survey. It didn't give a margin of error.

One of Texas top athletes is garnering a lot of attention from college recruiters.
Scout.com four star prospect Terdema Ussery III of Dallas St. Marks High School currently holds eight official offers with more expected in the coming weeks.
One school that the talented wide receiver hasn't got an offer from yet is hometown school SMU. Ussery recently attended the Mustang's spring game earlier this month and came away impressed with the experience.
"I liked SMU a lot," Ussery told PonyStampede.com. "I went to the spring game, I didn't get a chance to meet the coaching staff, I look forward to doing that in the near future."
Currently Ussery has offers from Stanford, Illinois, Utah, Rice, Arizona, Louisville, Colorado, and Harvard.
"SMU seems like they are close to offering," Ussery said. "They are recruiting me hard."
One thing that impressed Ussery is the campus in his home city.
"It is a really pretty campus, especially being located in the middle of a big city," Ussery said. "It wouldn't be bad staying close to home, but I'm really impartial about the location of the school I end up choosing."
One that is important to Ussery is having great teammates and a coaching staff that will be with him for a while.
"I want to surround myself with great teammates," Ussery said. "They quality of the people you hang out with makes you a better person. I want a coaching staff that will be there at least as long as I'm going to be there, that's important to me."
Ussery has met Coach Junes Jones once, while he was still the coach of Hawaii.
"He seems like a very good guy," Ussery said. "His offense definitely excites me; all of his wide receivers have always put up great numbers."
Ussery only played in four games last year; he fractured his ankle during the summer Jr. Olympics.
The 6-foot-4, 195-pound wide out runs a 4.47 electronic timed forty, feels that the injury is completely behind him.
"I'm excited about this upcoming season," Ussery said. "I'm completely healthy and can't wait to get my senior season started."
According to Ussery he doesn't have a real favorite at the present time.
"I'm pretty much open to everything and everyone right now," Ussery said. "I don't have a favorite right now."
If Ussery's name sounds familiar to local Dallas residents, it's for good reason. His father Terdema Ussery II is the President and CEO of the Dallas Mavericks.
According to the younger Ussery he does try to take in a few Maverick games over the weekends.
"I don't get to go to many games during the week because of my studies," Ussery explained. "I do get pretty good seats for some games over the weekends. It's great I really love the Mavericks."
Ussery has already scored a 2120 on the SAT and currently has a 3.2 G.P.A.

Don't mess with the Puff
Zoroark seems to be the most popular for replacing Lucario. I can't say anything about it though, since I haven't kept much track of the latest generation of Pokemon. I played the Red, Gold, and much later Platinum I think; that's it.
In related news though, rather than worrying about kicking Pokemon, can we talk more about kicking or de-cloning the three Star Fox characters before they, to my dismay, decide to keep all three and THEN throw in Krystal as another exact clone? Don't worry guys, she'll get a Green Landmaster.
Also, de-cloning Ganondorf would be top on my list of things to do for the game. He's got plenty enough moves to be his own character. Trident, flaming bats, lightning ball, Ganon Spirit Bomb, sword, the works. I don't know what was going through their heads when they decided to make Ganondorf a clone of Captain Falcon.
Let's see, they can either remove Toon Link or de-clone him as well. They could make Toon Link go on the more 2D side of the Zelda games, using things like the magic rods and canes, sword beam, hurricane spin, and change his final smash to Bombos or the Hurricane Spin itself. I'd prefer removal of Toon Link though, as that'd leave more room for an entirely unique Zelda character like Ghirahim or Midna.
Same goes for Lucas. I do honestly play Lucas over Ness because of PK Freeze and a not as easily terminated PK Thunder, but there was talk about how they want customization employed into the game, and that claim would be a perfect opportunity to combine the moves of all the current clones into one.
I'd also like to add that despite all the brand spanking new clones that came with Brawl, they removed Mewtwo who's only similar move to Lucario was Shadow Ball.
Last edited by BossFight; 03-28-2012 at 04:52 AM.
Hoo boy, I've got a not-so-serious bone to pick with you and your clone talk, son.
'bout lucario
Lucario is the only character with a passive ability
I would like to see him in the next smash

2013 promises to be a big year in MMA. As the sport continues to expand into the mainstream, big fights and events will dominate the sports world and bring us title bouts we constantly think of.

Here is a schedule that UFC champions will potentially face in 2013.
Note: The women's bantamweight championship will not be explored, as there are only two women currently on the active roster.

Skip to comments.15 Questions The Mainstream Media Would Ask Barack Obama If He Were A Republican
Posted on 02/24/2012 6:06:35 PM PST by Beave Meister
If you deny that there is liberal bias in the mainstream media, you are living under a rock. In 2008, it was Journolist. We saw George Stephanopolos take marching orders into debate questioning. Here are some good questions for the President.
The only thing they dont ask Republican candidates about much is economic questions and debt questions. Instead they ask horribly slanted, often irrelevant questions designed to make them look bad and help Obama. Weve heard questions about contraceptives, religion, Newts angry ex-wife, Cains employees, Romneys personal wealth, Gardasil, etc. Newts rise was because of the way he attacked the media and Obama in the debates because of the stupid and obviously planted questions.
So, what would happen if the mainstream media treated Barack Obama the exact same way they treat Republicans? The questions might sound a little something like this.

I'm so sorry I didn't check to see if this had already been posted. My bad, real bad.
"So, what would happen if the mainstream media treated Barack Obama the exact same way they treat Republicans?"
He would never have been elected....McCain would have won by the same margin Obama did.
I'd love to hear Skippy answer this one.
Whoever our nominee is, they need an ad campaign called "Questions the media won't ask President Obama". I'm sure there are some great Obama video clips out there, like the one where he says he wants to do away with the coal industry.
The only question Obama needs to be asked is "Why do you lie so much?"
The MSM strategy (and the other night in Arizona you could clearly see that Newt has figured out how to counteract it) is to pit Republicans against each other (you could tell that Blitzer and John King were trying to start a fight in Florida), and keep the focus on non issues. John King's "are you for or against contraception" question the other night was beyond ridiculous.
Why are gas prices so high? Is it because you're a crook and somebody at Haliburton is paying you off?
If Hussein Mugabe were a Repub he'd have been impeached by now.
"Mr. Obama, at what point in your life did you decide to live as Barack Hussein Obama instead of Barry Soetoro? And a follow up if I may, given that you have used many different names and passports in the past, how do we know we have the correct one now?"
Who was your real father?
Who was your real father?
Who was your real father?
"Mr Obama, you claim you hardly knew William Ayres, yet he has visited the White House officially numerous times. Is it your contention that you do NOT pal around with terrorists? And if so, why does First Lady Michelle Obama spend all of her time on taxpayer funded getaways?"
I see asking him where/who he got cocaine or dope from was not an option.
Good and valid questions all. Shame none will ever be asked.
Mr Obama is it the job of the President in picking winners and losers?
Mr. Obama your ideology is based on the notion that in order for some people to be "free" they must be given money the government has forcibly taken from others. Does this mean the people the government forcibly took money from are less "free", and doesn't that in turn mean that at some point they will be completely enslaved?
Mr Obama what will happen when all the money has been redistributed and everyone is poor?
Kevin Jennings...
If he were Bush's man, do you think perhaps the media might have shown him more attention..?
Good point. People forget that 2008 was no landslide for the Usurper.
what about, why did you have a false SS number?
Were your books ghost written by Bill Ayers?
How about, is it true you are bisexual?
You ARE asking the Kenyan and not me, right?
Of course. Just brainstorming questions for the great usurper. Had to post it somewhere. not directed at you.
I've been in West Virginia, once again, for several days visiting a son who bought the bs that this place is almost heaven. It is an extremely beautiful state with a significant number of extremely brain dead democrat voters who cannot/will not make the connection that a significant direct or indirect employer of West Virginians is the coal industry which is under attack by Maobama and his envirostalinist buddies. Robert KKK Byrd did his work well here. If Joe Manchan III had any integrity on behalf of his state he would be working relentlessly to drag WVA out of the 19th century and he would not be counted as a vote for the US Senate.
I meant to state that Manchan would not be counted as democrat vote in the US Senate. Sorry.

ROUND 2 of "Who Wants to be Philadelphia's Next School Superintendent?" was held Tuesday, featuring candidate William R. Hite Jr., who said that if he accepted the top job his first item on the agenda would be "to listen."
"With all of the challenges, with all of the anxiety and with all of the frustration that has taken place in the last six months in this district, the best thing that someone can do now is stop. Stop talking and listen," Hite told a group of teachers gathered for a meet-and-greet at district headquarters. Once the school community is heard, he said, then it is "an opportunity to begin a healing process so that we are able to come together to address the challenges that are likely in front of us."

Iran's president warned over the weekend that an attack on his country will mean the end of Israel.
"Any offensive against Iran means the annihilation of the Zionist entity," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday. "Iran does not care much about this entity because it is on its way to decay."
Iran's leader added that he doubted the Jewish state would make such a move since "they know that Iran is ready and has the potential for a decisive and wide-scale response."
Ahmadinejad made his remarks during a visit to during a visit to the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar, where he was seeking to gain the support of the other Gulf nations. He assured the Arab countries they would not be targeted if a conflict did break out.

Antiquities (Magic: The Gathering)
|March 1994
|100 cards (41 commons and 59 uncommons)
|Print run
|None new
artifact effects
|Skaff Elias, Jim Lin, Dave Petty, Joe Mick, and Chris Page[2]
|Development code
|Expansion code
Antiquities was the fifth Magic: The Gathering set and the second expansion set. It was the first set to have an original backstory that explores the mythos of the Magic universe (see Magic: The Gathering storylines). The story is primarily about the brothers Urza and Mishra who are inseparable at first, but become sworn enemies over the finding of two power stones. Trying to get hold of the other's stone they eventually lay waste to the whole continent of Terisiare.[4] The set was created by the group of students at the University of Pennsylvania that had helped Richard Garfield design the original game. Mechanically Antiquities revolves around artifacts. Only 35 of the 85 different cards are colored, the remaining 50 cards being artifacts and lands. The expansion symbol for Antiquities was an anvil.[5][6][7]
Set history[edit]
Antiquities managed to solve many of the printing errors that had plagued previous sets, although the expansion symbol was missing from the card Reconstruction, and the circle around the activation cost of Tawnos's Weaponry was omitted in half the printing. The only major problem noticed by players was the poor collation of the set; many booster boxes contained several packs with exactly the same cards in each, making it next-to-impossible for players in many parts of the country to collect complete sets. To correct this, Wizards of the Coast introduced a "buyback" program, allowing players to trade in their excess cards for money. This tentatively backfired on many players who cashed in early as Antiquities cards soon began rising in price on the secondary-sales market. In the UK, the 'buyback' was limited to the uncommon cards; however, it was possible to exchange these for cards from the previous Arabian Nights expansion.
The storyline of Antiquities is originally told through the flavor text of the cards in the set. It is given in full in the 1998 novel "The Brothers' War" written by Jeff Grubb. In 1999 the prequel, "The Thran" by J. Robert King, appeared. It describes the events leading to the Thran-Phyrexian War and the conflict itself. The Thran are the civilization that created the powerstones which are the cause of the separation and ensuing conflict of Urza and Mishra.
The story of Antiquities takes place on the plane of Dominaria and centers on the two brothers Urza and Mishra. Urza is born on the first day of the year 0 AR and his brother, Mishra, on the final day of that year. Ten years later when their father falls ill they are sent as apprentices to their father's friend, the artificer Tocasia. After several years at Tocasia's camp where the brothers made several inventions and discoveries, they explore the Caves of Koilos, a place filled with Thran artifacts. There the brothers each find one half of a powerstone that sealed the gate to the plane of Phyrexia which is also located in the caves. Mutual desire for the other's piece of the powerstone eventually leads them to turn the power of their stones onto each other. Attempting to end the duel, Tocasia puts herself into the middle, leading to her inadvertent death.[4]
Afterwards the brothers separate and leave the excavation site. In the following years Urza and Mishra come into positions of substantial power in Yotia and amongst the Fallaji people respectively. After some hostilities the empires eventually conduct open warfare against each other. The events during the conflict lead to both Urza and Mishra acquiring the leadership amongst their people. The conflict becomes an all-out war, but no side is able to gain the upper hand. In the final battle of the conflict both armies fight to a standstill. Eventually Urza activates the Golgothian Sylex, an artifact that Urza's lieutenant Tawnos received from Mishra's lieutenant Ashnod. The activation of the artifact triggers a blast, that destroys the site of the last battle, the island of Argoth, and thus ends the war by destroying both armies. In the aftermath of the conflict, the blast triggered by the Golgothian Sylex upsets the climate of Dominaria leading to an Ice Age.[4] The culmination of Urza's and Mishra's conflict was revealed in the 1998 expansion set Urza's Saga.
The Brothers' War is a central piece of Magic lore in that the background stories of many Magic sets are in some way related to the character of Urza.
Rarity breakdown[edit]
Antiquities cards come in two rarities, common and uncommon. The cards were sold in booster packs of 8 cards, 2 uncommon and 6 common. Of the uncommon cards in Antiquities 29 are U3, meaning that they appear three times on the uncommon print sheet. 4 are U2 and the remaining 26 uncommons are U1. These are usually dubbed the rares of the set. Also the card Tawnos's Weaponry, a U2, exists in two versions, one —barely noticeably— missing the circle behind the activation cost of the ability. For collector's purposes Tawnos's Weaponry is thus sometimes counted as two U1 cards. Of the commons 25 are C4. The remaining commons are 5 C2 and 11 C1. The C1 commons are usually dubbed as uncommons as a C1 card is exactly as rare as a U3 card. Denomination for the C2 varies.[1]
Notable cards[edit]
Despite Antiquities design as a set revolving around artifacts, it was largely the lands from the set that had most impact on the game.
- Mishra's Factory — This was the first land that could turn into a creature. Its design had a strong impact on later lands that are able to become creatures (called "man lands"), leading to the design of the Urza's Legacy man lands and eventually the Worldwake and Oath of the Gatewatch man lands.[8] Along with Strip Mine and the Urzatron lands, Mishra's Factory is also the first non-basic land card with varying artwork (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter) . Mishra's Factory was reprinted in 4th Edition and Eternal Masters.
- Mishra's Workshop — The Workshop is a mainstay of many Vintage decks today due to its ability to provide its controller with a lot of mana quickly. Mishra's Workshop is banned from Legacy play, but the card is not restricted in Vintage. On the secondary market, the card is by far the most expensive from the Antiquities expansion.
- The Urzatron Lands — Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant, and Urza's Tower. When combined, these lands can add 7 mana to their controller's mana pool. While it is unlikely to draw all three cards early from a deck of sixty cards, decks built around searching for any playing pieces of 'Tron' have been powerful tournament decks in the Standard and Extended formats. Most notably a combo deck built around Tooth and Nail was one of the strongest Standard decks for more than a year. Urzatron lands are also used in a red-green Tier 1 Modern that aims to assemble Tron quickly using Expedition Map and Sylvan Scrying to land an early threat such as Karn Liberated or Wurmcoil Engine. The Urzatron lands were reprinted in Chronicles, 5th Edition, 8th Edition, and 9th Edition.
