Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 28, 2013 - The hottest new franchise in the Southeast, Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint, is scheduled to open its first Knoxville, TN, location in May, with two more to follow. The chain was the first to begin the build-your-own pizza restaurant trend and is now the fastest growing. Due to its popularity, Uncle Maddio's is now attracting successful multiple franchise owners, including Glen Lax, owner of seven Marble Slab Creamery locations in North and South Carolina.
"I love the Uncle Maddio's corporate culture of 'Serving with Love,'" says Lax. "I'm confident about Uncle Maddios' success in this area – they're known for amazing pizza with the freshest ingredients, and their brand is backed by a solid executive team."
Known as the "Chipotle of pizza," Uncle Maddio's launched the fast casual pizza market four years ago with the opening of its first store in Atlanta, Georgia. By summer 2013, there will be 20 restaurant franchises open and 125 more in development throughout the Southeast. Uncle Maddio's stands out in the market because of their innovative menu, unprecedented match-up of franchising experience, distinct branding, and social media presence.
"We're thrilled to branch out into Tennessee," says Founder and Chief Pizza Maker Matt Andrew "and what better city to start in than Knoxville? Uncle Maddio's attracts the attention of multi-unit franchisees, like Glen, in part because of our own history with restaurant franchising success – our executives have a collective 50 years in the business."
The first Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint will be located at 2050 Town Center Boulevard at the Northshore Town Center in Knoxville. The restaurant is scheduled to open in May. Lax plans to open two additional Knoxville locations in the future. To stay up-to-date with grand opening information and to grab a free 9" pizza coupon in advance of the opening, visit the Uncle Maddio's Northshore Town Center Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/UncleMaddiosNorthshore.
Uncle Maddio's answers the call for more choices and better food with an innovative menu that gives customers more than 3 million pizza combinations. Their menu contains three types of crusts (white, wheat, and gluten-free), six sauces, seven cheeses (including Daiya vegan cheese), and 47 different fresh toppings, including locally-sourced fresh vegetables, hormone-free chicken, organic greens, and handmade meatballs and sausages. In addition to pizza, they serve toasted paninis and gourmet salads.

Looking for your favorite
Monteiro, a New York City freelance writer, beer traveler,
homebrewer and beer columnist, was chosen as the 2013 Beerdrinker of
the Year yesterday at Wynkoop Brewing Company. Monteiros in-depth
beer expertise, extensive travels in pursuit of beer, and his
efforts to promote great beer to others helped him win the 2013
"This year was very difficult to judge, said Cody Christman, the
2009 Beerdrinker of the Year and a judge at Saturdays finals. All
three finalists were superb and deserved to be on the national beer
stage. But Warren won the competition with his blend of wit,
knowledge, and a deep passion for all things related to beer.
Monteiro faced tough challengers in Kevin Cox (a Muncie, Indiana
beer hunter, homebrewer and beer advocate) and Jen Schwertman (a New
York City bartender and beer evangelist who got her start in beer in
1992 at Wynkoop Brewing Company.)
Monteiro has sampled beers throughout the United States, Europe,
Central American, India, Sri Lanka and other nations. In 2012 he
visited breweries and beer festivals in England, Belgium, the
Netherlands and the US. He samples an average of 350 beers each
For seven years, Monteiro has written his Beer Sensei column for
the popular Ale Street News. His home beer bar is the Blind Tiger
Ale House in New York City.
In his 2013 Beerdrinker of the Year resume, he detailed his
philosophy of beer drinking: Its not a habit, its a lifestyle.
This is why I constantly travel to get a taste of a new brew or
one Ive been missing, and to find a way to share it whenever
possible. I consider creative beer drinking to be an essential part
of the tapestry of art and fellowship contributing to a full life.
In his opening statement Saturday, Monteiro, a three-time finalist
for the title, recounted how a friend had described him as the
Susan Lucci of beer for his ability to make the Beerdrinker of the
Year finals but not win the coveted title.
In his beer whispering segment of the finals, Monteiro carried out
a steamy discussion with a bottle of Cantillon lambic beer. His
comments (I intend to have my way with you
) drew great laughs
from judges and the audience.
Monteiro also delivered keen assessments of the beers the finalists
judged in blind fashion, and he offered solid answers to the judges
The other judges for the finals were 9 News anchor Kyle Clark, Women
Enjoying Beer founder Ginger Johnson, 2012 winner J. Wilson, and
Wynkoop head brewer Andy Brown.
For his bribing of the judges segment, Monteiro tapped and served
a firkin of a special homebrew he made based on Russian River
Brewings popular Pliny the Elder.
For winning the 2013 title, Monteiro wins free beer for life at the
Wynkoop Brewing Company, a $250 bar tab at the Blind Tiger, and
clothing proclaiming him the 2013 Beerdrinker of the Year.
His name will be engraved on Wynkoops famed Beerdrinker of the Year
trophy. For next years Beerdrinker of the Year contest, hell brew
batch of beer of his own design at Wynkoop with head brewer Andy
Wynkoop Brewing covers all travel costs to Denver for the
Beerdrinker finalists. The finalists stay at Denvers famed Brown
Palace Hotel & Spa during the finals weekend.

information, contact Marty Jones at 303-860-7448 (office),

Here's the latest edition to our library. The Clock Without a Face. Mysteries to solve, puzzles to figure out, and teeny-tiny details to study in the fantastic illustrations. This is a very cool book for the tween set (think 9-12). And really, any teens or adults that have browsed the book in my living room seem to love it just as much.
The coolest part: the creators (the book is published by McSweeneys) made 12 emerald-studded numbers and buried them in real places across the country. If you find one it's yours to keep. And the only way to find one is to figure out the clues in The Clock Without A Face.
Have a smarty niece or nephew heading to middle school or junior high? This would make a great gift.

I was reading on Internet news recently about one ramification of the "cliff" agreement where Ari Fleischer, President George W. Bush's press secretary, said he would give less to charity under the new agreement because he could claim less of it as tax deductions. Isn't that talking out of both sides of the mouth? On the one side most of our Republican elected officials say Democrats want to raise taxes on everything. Then on the other side when taxes actually get cut, they complain about the cut. Why do I get the feeling that our Republican elected officials only care about defeating anything that might have even a hint that a Democrat is behind it? These elected officials need to have the integrity to represent the people and not the party. And I have come to the conclusion that more Democratic elected officials actually carry out this duty than do our Republican elected officials. Republicans just say "no" unless it is their idea.

text: I was bored this afternoon, so I thought it would be fun to make a pinhole from one of the many 35mm film cnas that I had ahgning around. So I made a small hole in the side witha thumtack, taped a piece of tinfol over as a shutter, and taped a piece of tinfoil in the front as a shutter, and put some Lucky SHD 100 (cut down from 120 format) inside. I exposed for 4 seconds - ish (was just a guess on my part). The image, once developed (5m 30s in D-76 at 21ºc, right in the can) and fixed was a quite thin (longer exposure next time), but surprisingly sharp, considering that it was taken with a film cat, with my knee as suport instead of a tripod. Has anybody else tried this, or anything else cool for pinholes? I think that its amazing that decent (and sometimes absolutely incredible) pictures can be made with such unbelievably primative equipment. Any ideas?

Race director and founder of Tribe 10000 events, on the historic EWS second round race at Val d'Allos, France
EWS: What will be different at Val d'Allos, compared to Punta Ala, where the first race in the series was held?
FG: We will have 5 different stages with over an hour of accumulated race-time, where there was just 20 minutes in Punta Ala. To reach the start of the stages, we will use mainly the lifts. There won't be much pedaling. The first run of each new stage is untimed, so it serves as a kind of live practice. The combined live practice and timed stages will see riders do more than 10,000 vertical during during the race weekend. On Friday the riders will be free to practice walking on the track, but no riding is allowed. We start to build the course stages on Monday, so nobody is authorized to ride from Monday to Thursday evening.
EWS: And what is the vibe and experience going to be like?
FG: Val d'Allos is a very unique ski-mtb resort into a wild natural valley. The valley is the source of the Verdon river – the beautiful canyon de Verdon is below us. Very near the old traditional village you can enter also the national park of Mercantour.
So the place is pure, protected and authentic and very far in spirit from St Tropez and the French Riviera even it's only a 2 hour drive.
EWS: Punta Ala finished with beers at the beach, which was a pretty good end. What's the Val d'Allos version of that post-race celebration?
FG: We've a nice and pure lake not so far and the Genepi is a very famous (and dangerous) local alcohol made in town!
EWS: We joked about the coffee, wine, pizza and pasta being a bonus of the Punta Ala experience. What makes the Val d'Allos experience unique, for riders off their bikes?
FG: Definitively around a good bottle of Genepi ,you can forget your disappointments (or your victory) and sample the local lifestyle . On Saturday evening, we've a free dinner/Paela party near the lake and we've organized the first ever non-official "Pedalo World Series" on the lake. For many riders that may very well be the only way to grab the podium! Something just for fun.
EWS: What is it about France that made it the obvious place for enduro to incubate?
FG: In the same way that British Columbia is, without contest, the place of the freeride scene, the south-east of France is the heart of enduro because of its enduro culture. First and foremost, it's about nature. You have to adapt your ride to the environment. Then it's about the people – riders bring with them their own history and years of experiences with a particular MTB approach which is always different in each place of this planet. BC is Freeride . South-east of France, it's Enduro. For the past few years, we have had an enduro race almost every weekend from February to November in this corner of France.
EWS: 10 years is a long time in the events business. (Crankworx is celebrating 10 years this year, too.) What were the ingredients that made Val d'Allos/Tribe 10,000 series a classic?
FG: That it is fun to ride and a challenge to finish in a good shape. The tracks are awesome – scenic and technically ideal. It's spectacular here – the summit start is at 2500m and the finish is at 1500 meters. Plus, there is the target number of 10000 meters for riders to reach.
Only 5 very famous enduro riders have won this race – Karim Amour, Willy Balaud, Alex Balaud, Remy Absalon and Jerome Clémentz.
But the battle is primarily against yourself, which is a huge difference from the mass start marathon races that pre-existed the Tribe 10,000 enduro format. This approach provides more equity for riders, but retains a good atmosphere and relationship between the riders.
Our first and main focus, still, is to offer riders the best ride experience on the best tracks possible. Are those elements the same things that make enduro awesome, today? Probably.
EWS: How happy are you that your "sport" is going to reach an entirely new audience now? Where do you see the sport going when you first started out?
FG: We all started this sport, by which I mean mountain biking, because we love to go down and have fun and we love the effort and the challenge. The right balance between ability and effort with a high respect of nature – this is Enduro. Enduro is just a coming back to the roots of the sport. 25 years ago people were crazy about what MTB could offer to them and it's exactly the same today. Enduro is MTB and MTB is Enduro.
EWS: Was there ever a time when you thought, enough, I'm done. What kept you going?
FG: In 10 years, we had quite lot of changes and evolutions. Nothing is fixed forever. Personally, I don't like to reproduce things and I prefer to create if possible. I'm surprised myself that it's been such a long ride with this race, to have gone from this local crazy concept to an official French Cup to this round of the EWS, but we kept getting good feedback overall and this gave us the motivation to keep going ahead.
EWS: Jerome Clementz and Tracy Moseley would seem to be the athletes to beat at Val d'Allos, based on past results. The field will be much deeper this round, with DH, BMX, 4X, XC World Champions all taking part. Who are you watching with interest to give them "a run for their money"? What kind of rider does the course favour?
FG: Jerome and Tracy are the favorites for the victory Sunday evening. Saturday is more for the fast downhill guys but Sunday is very physical also. Anything can happen. Some riders are fully dedicated like Barel, Vouilloz, Atherton, Absalon, Lau , Graves or Chausson for the women. I will be surprised to find someone else take the victory but.Enduro is also a race of regularity, you've to take care of your body and manage your bike, so the race to the victory is still very open.
EWS: Of the 300 riders in this race, how many are new to enduro, how many are regular Tribe 10,000 participants?
FG: Some of them are still there since the first edition. Willy Balaud, winner of the second race, and and his brother Alex Balaud, winner of the third race, now build the tracks. We've offered 200 entries to amateur riders – it was sold out in one hour.
We're seeing more and more young talents who are fully dedicated to enduro, like Martin Maes. He's a young phenomenon, but he is probably not the last one.
EWS: Finally, what exactly makes this race historic?
FG: At Val d'Allos, the Tribe 10,000 event was the first to use the words "the enduro race". Most likely, that race was the guideline and basis for developing the enduro concept in every corner of France, then in Italy and finally all over the world. Now the Tribe 10000 is no longer "the enduro race", but one of many… but we had, and we still have the Enduro spirit.
EWS: What are you most looking forward to?
FG: Like always , offering each and every rider the best riding experience possible.
EWS: What are you most anxious about?
FG: Weather. Storms are our main problem in the high mountains. I'm confident in everything else, and we will do our very best.
EWS: How will you know that you can call it a success?
FG: To see 300 riders, amateurs and pros, winners and losers, sharing the same smile Sunday evening.

Convertible Securities and Venture Capital Finance
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): Klaus M. Schmidt
- Published: May 06, 2003
- Pages: 1139-1166
This paper offers a new explanation for the prevalent use of convertible securities in venture capital finance. Convertible securities can be used to endogenously allocate cash‐flow rights as a function of the state of the world and the entrepreneur's effort. This property can be used to induce the entrepreneur and the venture capitalist to invest efficiently into the project. The result is robust to renegotiation and to changes in the timing of investments and information flows. The model is consistent with the observations that conversion is often automatic and that convertible securities are rarely used by outside investors.

Effects of National Health Insurance on precautionary saving: new evidence from Taiwan
In this article, we evaluate the crowd-out effects of the National Health Insurance (NHI) on household precautionary saving in Taiwan. Our analysis differs from existing studies in two respects. First, we do not exclude the households with negative saving that are about 18.9% of the entire sample. Second, we conduct a more complete treatment effect analysis. We estimate both average treatment effect (ATE) and quantile treatment effect (QTE) using the difference-in-differences method. We also partition some covariates (household income and the age of household head) into different groups and estimate the group-wise ATEs and QTEs. While supporting the existing finding that the NHI has negative impact on households saving, our empirical result shows that the QTEs are heterogeneous across saving quantiles, such that higher savers tend to have greater reduction in saving after the NHI is enforced. It is also found that the NHI has greater impact on the households with higher income and those with retiring heads, especially on high savers in these groups. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2013

tips and tricks to keep your cool on your wedding day.
20th May, 2012 - Posted by Lia - No Comments
Preparing and planning for your wedding say has by now I'm sure, set you on a surge of emotions. Excitement, anxiety, happiness, worry, and then some. It's the happiest time of your life but at the same time, the stress and details and planning can send even the most organized bride in a tizzy.
So before you reach for the bottle of wine or go to fill yet another prescription for Xanax, here are some alternative and more basic ways to release the stress as you get one day closer to your wedding day:
Yoga: Sign up for a class with your friends or maybe just do a couple solo sessions yourself. Yoga is great for staying in shape, remaining flexible, and de-stressing after a long day of meetings and wedding planning. You will leave feeling much more relaxed, centered, and cleansed of anxiety or stress you've dealt with that day. Worried about the cost? Check our Groupon.com for the weekly yoga or fitness deals to score major discounts, or checkout lululemon.com for the free class offering all over.
Meditation: Find a quiet room, place at work, a park, or create a meditation room at your pad to just sit and "be". Studies show that taking ten to fifteen minutes a day to sit without any distractions or technological devices calms the body's nervous system significantly. So turn off your phone. Shut down the iPad. Turn off "Four Weddings", and just breathe in, breathe out and sit in silence.
Acupuncture: Many people gravitate away from this one because of the fact that " needles" are involved. However, acupuncture is among one of the top ways to battle stress, anxiety and hundreds of other ailments and health issues. Acupuncture uses special "needles" that balance on certain pressure points throughout the body. The belief is that the slight pressure put on these pressure points by the acupuncture needles remove the blocked energy from the body, thus allowing the body to let go of any unwanted stress and anxiety.
Some other forms of de-stressing and relaxation?
- Get More Sleep
- Lay off the caffeine…a stressed and anxiety stricken bride-to-be doesn't need a 5 shot espresso from Starbucks, trust me.
-Ask for help. Your friends and family want to help you plan your special day, delegate some of the tasks on your " to do list"!
How are you keeping your cool while you plan your wedding day?

You're probably already using redbox, the rental kiosk found all over the place in supermarkets. Lots of people like it because it is convenient and it is cheap – only $1.00 a night per rental. Well, now it is even more cost effective to rent from your redbox…because it is free. And ya can't beat free.
Right now, rebox is offering the special that every Wednesday in March you can rent a movie for free if you go to their redblog site and simply get the code that they will post each week. That's it. Then you can go and rent the movie of your choice for free.
They also have a special for cell phone users for a free movie on Mondays. If you enter your number on the redbox site, they will text you a code each Monday that you are able to use for a free rental. I can't personally tell you if they inundate you with any other messages; as I didn't try this one out yet. I did just sign up, so I'll let you know how it goes.
If you haven't already tried using codes at redbox, there are plenty of codes out there that are perfectly legit and work just fine. A good site to check out for lists of updated codes is insideredbox. To use the code, all you have to do is add the movie you want to your cart and hit the button for "add promo code" before you swipe your card, and it will take off the charge.

Artists donate funds to area schools
The Paradise Studio Tour Artist Collective recently donated $1,320 to the Pahoa High and Intermediate School art department.
During the two-day studio tour in December with 45 artists in Keaau's Hawaiian Paradise Park, student art was divided between the 13 studios.
They included nearly 20 student artists from Pahoa High School as well as Hawaii Academy of Arts and Sciences. Art exhibited included drawings, paintings, jewelry and clay sculpture.
The PST group donates 10 percent of sales, after an initial $100 for each artist.
This sixth annual event marked nearly $7,000 in donations given to three Lower Puna high schools: Keaau, Pahoa and HAAS.
"We want to give back to the community and support the arts," said Patti Datlof, one of the core organizers. "With school budgets being tight, we are aware of the need for art supplies and equipment. Teachers often dip into their own pockets to augment their classroom supplies.

Sick deck dude +1, you should rename it Damia, Sage of Memories. I actually expected to see more mill cards than I do. It looks like a lot of it comes from creatures and everyone drawing lots of extra cards and discarding. I find that this can lead to your opponents finding their answers for everything which can be a problem when they use them all against you. What about you? Cool mix of control and mill and ramp though it looks like the kind of decks that I build where I'm trying to do a little bit of everything that is good within my color/theme restricitons.
September 9, 2011 7:34 p.m.
agreed, I've just updated it with less "everyone draws!" with more "put your card in the grave or exile it". After testing the old deck, I couldn't be fast enough with drawing, and my opponent found the answers.
I limited the draw, maybe I should try to fit some specter for discard...
What would you remove in the current version?
September 9, 2011 7:46 p.m.
Also, if you take a look at my other deck, Oona, where I tried to mill/draw (and only that), the deck is quite slow to come together, because there are combos everywhere, and some cards (artifacts) trying to protect myself, it's not enough.
That's why I built this one more aggressive. It can win with the pure green combo style Avenger of Zendikar and Primeval Titan even though I didn't put [Tooth and Nails]] in it (I may be lucky to draw enough stuff or maybe a tutor or Survival of the Fittest to get the right part, or I can ramp with Birthing Pod ).
September 9, 2011 7:57 p.m.

I would try to find room for Wrexial, the Risen Deep in there somewhere. It's fun to get free removal and such from all of the cards you are milling from everyone and there is almost always a Blue or Black player at the table that you can landwalk for free spells. Other good repeatable mill would be Grindstone , Grindclock , Keening Stone is sweet sometimes and can kill quickly if you use it repeatedly against one opponent. Also Millstone and Whetstone aren't too shabby especially the latter as there is no tapping in its activation cost.
Other cards to take out maybe Anvil of Bogardan since its from your other draw strategy and Elixir of Immortality does almost nothing for you unless you are in danger of running out of library youself all the time (which is less likely now that you have removed all of the extra card draw stuff). card:Jace's Erasure could also become one of the other milling artifacts now that your drawing has been reduced.
Still like the deck a lot I have been thinking about putting together one of my own ever since I heard of the idea of using Damia for a mill deck on CommanderCast. I have the stripped out leftovers of a Wrexial EDH deck, and a bunch of its pilfered empty sleeves, still in my deckbox waiting for me to make another attempt at milling deck one of these days.

See also Crumbling Sanctuary and/or Decimator Web ...
September 10, 2011 12:49 p.m.
thx for the feedback.
I completely forgot about Keening Stone and Decimator Web , but it doesn't work well with Leyline of the Void . Also, some people play Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre . In the end, I think I may prefer Tower of Murmurs , even if it costs more. But Decimator Web may be better, I think I will try it instead.
I agree about Anvil of Bogardan , it's an old card from my previous "draw" deck, I may remove it. About Elixir of Immortality , I don't want to wait for Ulamog to shuffle my library. I draw a lot of cards, and I have enough mana to play everything. So when a player wipe the board, it hurts and everything is in the graveyard, that's why I put the elixir back in the deck.
About card:Jace's Erasure, remember that my Commander can draw up to 7 cards per turn... It's still quite effective for free...
Crumbling Sanctuary seems interesting, but it doesn't work well with Mindcrank .
Does Grindstone work fine in EDH? Two cards don't seem much, especially in multi-color deck, but I like the 1cmc, easy to tutor with Trinket Mage . And Grindclock would be better in a proliferate deck, but it may works fine with Seedborn Muse and Mind Over Matter , I may try that, thanks.
September 10, 2011 3:55 p.m.
I also updated the name of the deck with your suggestion, it sounds better ;)
September 10, 2011 3:59 p.m.
After thinking a little bit harder, I swapped Grindclock with Grindstone . It may be too long to achieve at least "put 2 cards in your graveyard" with Grindclock , so...
September 10, 2011 4:21 p.m.
And Decimator Web IS definitely better than Tower of Murmurs , it's cheaper, and the "2 damage" is nice with Bloodchief Ascension , thanks again :)
I swapped again more cards, removed Dreamborn Muse for Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir , I may be able to avoid some board wipe and drop some surprise attack.
I'm still on the fence about Mind Over Matter , I didn't play it yet, I may swap it for Wrexial, the Risen Deep . But I think Mind is good with some cards (Decimator Web , Birthing Pod , Ensnaring Bridge , Cabal Coffers , card:Jace's Archivist, Geth, Lord of the Vault , or a quick blocker), that's why I keep it... Wrexial is cool, but it doesn't mill.
I also added Shapesharer , looks fun to copy your Nemesis of Reason before attacking, or another Commander to kill it.
September 10, 2011 7:18 p.m.
Added Kaho, Minamo Historian and some instants to see how it performs... It should be quite good with Mind Over Matter .
- Vampiric Tutor: if I need to tutor something, pretty powerful EoT.
- Hinder: can put the commander under the opponent's library.
- Krosan Grip: one of the best artifact/enchant removal
- Brain Freeze: with storm, it should wreck some libraries :)
September 12, 2011 9:02 a.m.
Well, Hinder as well as Krosan Grip aren't that great with Kaho imo.Nobody is gonna play their General as long as you have three mana and an active Kaho with Hinder exiled (now that i think about it, just keeping them from playing their general... not THAT bad :D )and the Grip looses the split second (wich is what makes it so great) since if you activate kaho for three it's quite easy to guess whether you'r going to play Hinder or Grip (especialy if you already drew one of them and couldn't exile it) and then activate artifacts or enchantments (card:Nevinyrral's Disk for example) so it's still uncounterable but looses much of its potential
in general i think the instant package you want to remove with her should consist of cards your opponent can't play around when he knows they are comming, tutors for example
September 14, 2011 5:32 p.m.
why did you kick Traumatize ? it's like the most fun mill card ever :D especially in edh
oh and Hinder /Spell Crumple + Tunnel Vision if you didn't already consider and decided against it due to unfairness
September 14, 2011 5:36 p.m.
yea, Traumatize is good, as well as the combo you mentioned, but I think it would be better in another deck more based on spells, maybe with riku as general.
That's why I removed them (and Kaho), because this deck is based on creatures.
It's better if you can use these spells multiple times, and this deck isn't designed around it.
But I'll think about making one maybe :)
September 14, 2011 5:55 p.m.
bigapple3am says... #14
Undead Alchemist seems like a good fit.
Mindshrieker could be good too.
February 14, 2012 4:10 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #15
Before I begin with the deck itself, I must point out two things about your description. First, Wizards does not regulate EDH in any way. The responsibility for maintaining and updating the format belongs to the EDH Rules Committee, which is a separate entity entirely. Second, Exsanguinate is in no way broken or banworthy. Being "unfun" from the perspective of one player or even a group of players is not grounds for a ban.
Glissa, the Traitor is unnecessary in this deck. You don't sacrifice any of your artifacts, and none of the few rocks you do run are really worth the extra spot Glissa costs.
Consider running more fetch lands. I run 9 in my BUG deck (Arid Mesa is the only exclusion), and the mana base is extremely consistent and solid.
I find it odd that you're playing with the ABUR duals, shocks, and fetches, yet you're missing some of the basic staples of the format: Demonic Tutor , Vampiric Tutor , Diabolic Intent , Damnation , and card:Sensei's Divining Top. Even though it's expensive, Mana Crypt is also worth including.
Some of your card choices seem suboptimal. Rancor doesn't really belong here, Riddlekeeper and Memory Erosion seem too slow, and Szadek, Lord of Secrets is both expensive and impractical.
What kinds of decks are you playing against?
December 31, 2012 9:40 a.m.
Thanks for the comment. I'm still testing the deck, I tried to think about it against every kind of deck.
About Glissa, I like her for deathtouch and first strike, that's also why Rancor is here, to maximize deathtouch.
I'm not sure aswell about Riddlekeeper , I thought he would be ok good against token, but I may be wrong, and agreed aswell about Szadek, but they both fit the theme (mill the opponent and reanimate stuff as an alternate wincon).
As the staples, I agree, what should I remove?
I'm also wondering is I have enough draw/removal in my deck. I saw yours, but it's a control/combo-heavy, I'd like to stay with big creatures and mill.
Should I also add more graveyard hate just in case I can't reanimate and my opponent play with his grave. I tested a few games and I usually won without reanimating anything (because I was fast enough or because I didn't mill their deck).
December 31, 2012 11:37 a.m.
The cards I'm not sure for now:
Avatar of Woe : not sure if with all hexproof stuff this one will be useful. I wasn't able to fill graveyards fast enough to cast it for BB.
Massacre Wurm : can deal with small creatures if they don't have counters yet, but I won't maximize his other ability (I don't sac my creatures and I don't have Grave Pact )
Szadek, Lord of Secrets : expensive but can mill.
Riddlekeeper : cheap and will mill if I'm attacked, but other than that, it's pretty weak.
Wrexial, the Risen Deep : never had a chance to play this guy, I don't know if he's that powerful. He has land-walk which is good I guess, but his ability is useless if there's nothing useful in the graveyard.
Sudden Spoiling : not sure about this one, I read some stuff about it and I wanted to try. Seems good to deal with token and indestructible creatures.
December 31, 2012 11:51 a.m.
Epochalyptik says... #18
Glissa, the Traitor isn't really a good card in this deck, though. She doesn't have much offensive presence, and her ability isn't relevant.
Deathtouch is neither prevalent enough nor powerful enough in this deck to warrant the inclusion of Rancor .
Lowering your mana curve couldn't hurt. Some of your more expensive creatures (Szadek, Vengeful Pharaoh , etc.) aren't flexible. They're also comparatively clunky and underpowered.
January 1, 2013 5:58 a.m.
Well... I guess I'll have to make some space for Lazav, so...
January 1, 2013 7:27 a.m.
Should I remove Loxodon Warhammer aswell then?
January 1, 2013 7:43 a.m.
rathalos3000 says... #21
You should add Sepulchral Primordial ;)

NPR is not taking scholar Jay Rosen's charge that the network has engaged in one of the "lowest forms of journalism" lying down.
"Rosen is a journalism professor whose provocative positions on media responsibility and new media have often succeeded in shaking up a sometimes hidebound profession," notes NPR Ombudsman Edward Schumacher-Matos. "But this time he overstates his case."
The alleged he/she-said in question comes in the form of a report on anti-abortion group efforts to create tougher state requirements for abortion clinic licenses in Kansas. These rules involve setting standards for the temperature and size of procedure rooms. Rosen apparently felt that the neutrality of NPR reporter Kathy Lohr, who covered a hearing on the issue, amounted to a case of reality avoidance.
"The new Kansas regulations may be a form of harassment, intended to make life as difficult as possible for abortion providers in that state," Rosen contended in a protest to Schumacher-Matos himself. "Or, alternatively, these rules may be sane, rational, common sense, sound policy: just normal rule-making by responsible public officials."
According to this report, NPR has no idea who is right. It cannot provide listeners with any help in sorting through such a dramatic conflict in truth claims. It knows of no way to adjudicate these clashing views. It is simply confused and helpless and the best it can do is pass on that helplessness to listeners of "Morning Edition."
Rosen's bottom line:
This is he said, she said reporting, one of the lowest forms of journalism in existence, in which the NPR reporter washes her hands of determining what is true.
NPR's Schumacher-Matos defends the story—arguing that it did acknowledge the political nature of the debate. But then he suggests that more may be needed:
I would like to see NPR directly tackle the claims of operating room safety, instead of leaving the matter only to the courts. Such claims are apparently hard to measure, even though the Kansas abortion opponents say they have 2,500 pages of documentation supporting their claims. But the proponents of the regulations make no secret that they are pursing a harassment strategy up to the legal limit. As Lohr reported, anti-abortion rights activists in other states are trying to copy the Kansas tactic.
Rosen's reaction to the NPR post? "ANOTHER UPDATE: The NPR ombudsman did look into it! He thinks I'm wrong. Sort of."

Like many other easy listening musicians, he blurred the boundaries between pop, jazz, and classical, creating a smooth, relaxing hybrid. Between 1955 and 1972, he had 38 hit albums and 22 hit singles, including the number one hit "Autumn Leaves." Williams (born Louis Weertz) began playing... Read more

BioMarin Pharmaceutical, Inc. (BMRN - Free Report) recently announced that it has begun an early stage trial of its pipeline candidate BMN 673 (PARP Inhibitor) for the treatment of patients suffering from advanced hematological malignancies whose commonest forms are various types of leukemia, lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndrome.
The trial is a two-arm, open-label, dose escalation study (n~80) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The objective of the trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of daily oral BMN 673 to assess the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy and pharmacodynamics activity of BMN 673 and determine the pharmacokinetic profile of the candidate. Patients will be enrolled in the study at many sites in the US and UK.
BioMarin acquired BMN 673 from Lead Therapeutics Inc. in February 2010. BioMarin is also conducting a mid-stage trial of BMN 673 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The trial is expected to enroll about 70 patients above the age of 18 with advanced solid tumors. The primary objective of the trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of daily oral BMN 673. The secondary objectives include assessing the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy and pharmacodynamics activity of BMN 673, and determining the pharmacokinetic profile.
Our Recommendation
We currently have a Neutral recommendation on BioMarin. The stock carries a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term "Hold" rating).
We are encouraged by BioMarin's better-than-expected performance in the first quarter of 2011. Moreover, the company has a robust pipeline with multiple events lined up. The successful development and commercialization of pipeline candidates would help drive long-term growth at BioMarin. However, the disappointing initial sales ramp of Firdapse, launched in the EU in April 2010, concerns us. Moreover, we expect cash burn to increase owing to the company's heavy investments in pipeline development.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's "Honor Guard"
The TWRA Honor Guard is a 20 man team formed by wildlife officers throughout the state. The mission of the team is to represent the agency and honor the officer when he/she is killed in the line of duty, dies of duty, or is a retired officer who passes away.
Some of the ways officers are honored include team members assisting the families left behind with funeral planning, Honor Guard presence during visitation/funeral services, and other customary services bestowed to fallen law-enforcement officers.
While the team may be called to assist with ceremonial services such as presentation of the colors occasionally, their primary mission is to honor the life of fallen wildlife officers, both active and retired, and support their families for the sacrifices the officer has made throughout their career.

With piles of snow still on the streets, Bethlehem residents are protective of their shoveled out parking spots. But police say one man took things a bit too far after he allegedly took revenge on a neighbor who dared to take his spot.
Police were called to Leibert Street on Wednesday around 8:40 p.m. by a man who claimed his car was surrounded by piles of snow.
The man told police he found a spot on the street and moved an orange crate to park his vehicle. The man later discovered however, that the crate belonged to his neighbor, 64-year-old Ernest Nemeth, according to investigators. Police say Nemeth angrily told the man that he had shoveled out the parking spot and that it belonged to him.
A short time later, investigators say Nemeth and an unidentified woman surrounded the man's car with piles of snow as a form of revenge.
"He saw these two people shoveling the snow back," said Nellie Morales, another Bethlehem resident. "Like, 'hey, I shoveled my car out, now you're gonna have to do it too."
Nemeth was charged with disorderly conduct.
A spokeswoman for the Bethlehem Police Department told NBC10 that it's against city policy for Bethlehem residents to reserve spots.
Philadelphia Police also have a similar policy. Police say their officers can and will confiscate any item used to reserve a parking space on a city street, and residents can call 911 to report neighbors who are using items to reserve the spaces.

U.S. national team midfielder Robbie Rogers has been cleared to resume playing a little more than two weeks after suffering a concussion during his debut with Leeds United.
"Cleared by the Doc. Finally! Getting after it," Rogers wrote on Twitter.
The 24-year-old Californian moved to Leeds in January on a free transfer after five seasons with the Columbus Crew. Rogers finally took the field in England on Feb. 18, coming on as a substitute as Leeds trailed Doncaster Rovers, 2-1, in the 79th minute of their second-division match at Elland Road, Leeds' home venue.
Leeds scored just seconds later, but as the game entered stoppage time, Rogers knocked heads with a Rovers player and had to be stretchered off. He hasn't played or trained at full speed since.
"Getting better everyday, finally don't feel like a total space cadet at the moment," he tweeted five days later. On Feb. 27, he wrote, "I feel so much better today! Baby steps w/ this freaking concussion."
Rogers missed out on the Italy-USA game in Genoa last week. Although it's not a given he would have been called up, injuries to several players forced U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann to make some last-minute changes, so had he been healthy, Rogers might have gotten the call. He appeared in four of Klinsmann's first seven games in charge.
Leeds currently is 14-13-7 and in 10th place, six points behind sixth-place Birmingham City, which occupies the final spot in the four-team playoff that will determine promotion to the Premier League (the first- and second-place team are automatically promoted, and the team that wins the playoff is the third team that moves up). Leeds visits Hull City on Tuesday and Middlesbrough on Sunday.

Illinois' new civil-union law—which gives new rights to same-sex and opposite-sex couples—goes into effect on June 1. It says couples united in civil unions are "entitled to the same legal obligations, responsibilities, protections and benefits as are afforded or recognized by the law of Illinois to spouses…."
On its face, the law's language makes civil unions the functional equivalent of marriage. For example, civil partners can make medical decisions on each other's behalf, inherit property and share a nursing home room. But other aspects are murkier.
For Illinois employers, the big question is what to do when employees in civil unions demand that their partners be added to health insurance and other benefit plans. Should employers simply sign them up?
The answer depends on whether your health insurance plan is a true insurance plan covered by Illinois state law or a self-insured plan covered by the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). That's because federal law doesn't recognize civil unions, only marriages.
And what about FMLA leave? Because that law is also a federal one, most likely employees will not be able to request FMLA leave to care for a sick civil-union partner.
Also consider: Employers that already offer same-sex benefits on par with those of married couples may now have to extend those benefits to opposite-sex civil-union partners.
Advice: June 1 is right around the corner. Now is the time to decide whether to add civil-union partners to benefit plans and update your policies and handbook accordingly. Start the process by contacting your insurance broker and attorney.

Terms of engagement
Suu Kyi has not let past problems colour her ties with India, now New Delhi must reciprocate in full.india Updated: Nov 15, 2012 23:34 IST
The ability to adjust is crucial to any relationship, be it between individuals or nations. New Delhi and Myanmar's Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who is on a six-day visit to India, seem to have understood this fact and have managed to strike a conciliatory note despite their difference of opinion on India's engagement with the ruling junta in Myanmar. Keeping with the spirit of things, Ms Suu Kyi in an interview said that though she was sad after India decided to do business with the junta, which kept her under house arrest for 15 years, she never felt betrayed by her old friend. On its part, India rolled out the red carpet for the pro-democracy icon since it is keen to build a good rapport with all stakeholders in that country. The next election in Myanmar is in 2015 where Ms Suu Kyi's party NLD is expected to sweep.
India had supported Ms Suu Kyi in her fight against the junta in Myanmar in the 1980s and early 1990s, but started engaging with the military establishment in the mid-1990s to counter China's growing clout and also because of the economic opportunities in the country. Then there was the important issue of security: insurgent groups in the north-east had been operating from bases inside Burma. In 2010, the two nations agreed to combat terrorism along the border.
India's engagement with the junta was not a sudden decision; it was a part of a bigger foreign policy matrix. After 1992, India has been following a Look East Policy and has unleashed a number of engagements in trade relations with the Association of South East Asian Nations and other Asian states. As India's gateway to East Asia, Myanmar is at a key geo-strategic position and it has managed to exploit that in negotiations with India. In a TV interview, Ms Suu Kyi said that governments often take a path that they think is best for the country. Hopefully this realisation will improve her ties with India.

text: Why I want the next, Next Gen Wars to be more equal! So as of right now the Next Gen war looks boring it has the 360 out front but the Wii almost 50% caught up to it (in just 4 months) and the PS3 is dead and costs way to much. The Wii is helping Nintendo become the best in the Next Gen war but with all these gapes in units sold between the three systems is this a good thing? I don't think it is. Ok if you look at most Console wars there's always one console that owns the rest by the end, first it was the Nintendo, then the Super Nintendo, then the PS1 then the PS2 and now the 360 (but not for long). Most Fanboys say it's a great thing but boy are they wrong. Look at it this way Back when the Gamecube was losing badly in the last gen wars they lined up the Wii's first years with games games and more games but after the Wii was priced at 260 and the PS3 at 600. Nintendo lightened up on its game dates Dragon Quest was pushed back until like spring/Summer. Then Mario Galaxy was pushed back into the Fall, then Super Smash was pushed back into November. Then Mario Party was pushed back until the summer and I bet even more games get pushed back, why is Nintendo doing this? Well there could be many reasons for this but I bet one reason is why do we need more good games out if our competition is putting out crap? Ok lets look at the 360 games coming out for the beginning of the year, ok Crackdown ummm ok, Ghost Recon (another gun game, screw that I have Gears of War) and Virtual fighter (no online no point in me wasting 60 bucks on this game) What does Sony have coming out Lair (looks like a great game but the system costs too much to get this game), Fear (I can get it on the 360) and Oblivion (on the PC and 360) So why should Nintendo put out Mario Galaxy, Mario Party and Super Smash if they really don't need too? So if the PS3 had Devil May Cry and Kingdom Hearts coming out in the next to months and the 360 had Mass Effect and GTA 4 coming out soon, Nintendo would be pressured to put out Mario Party and Mario Galaxy. So this is why I wish the Next Gen wars were more close because we would have more good games coming out on all 3 systems and the games coming out early then they would be now. For Gamers it's a Win Win situation and we would see more great games coming out for all 3 systems. So I hope in the next Next Gen Wars all 3 systems are at 100% so we see more and better games.

Brianna Hilton did not say "yes" to Kory Prince's marriage proposal as the couple plummeted down the steepest drop of the Texas Giant — she screamed it instead.
"I didn't even say yes because it was at the drop," the 22-year-old Bullard resident said. "I looked at him, and I was crying and screaming because I was so scared, and I didn't say, 'yes' until I got to the bottom."
The couple was one of several that spoke to the Tyler Morning Telegraph about their non-traditional marriage proposals.
The pair visited the theme park's holiday event on Nov. 30. The pair had free tickets, and Ms. Hilton wanted to grab a funnel cake, but along the way, she was sweet talked into riding the Giant. They waited in line for an hour before finally getting on the ride.
Three years ago, Prince asked Ms. Hilton to be his girlfriend on the same rollercoaster, and the theme park holds significance.
"He tried to ask me (to be his girlfriend) on the Texas Giant, but I was so scared to, he didn't get a chance to," she said.
Three years ago, she said yes while riding home from the park, and in November, Prince got down on one knee in the parking lot to present her with a ring.
The couple met at Bullard High School and attends the same church.
"He makes me laugh, and I can be myself around him,"
Ms. Hilton said. "He has a strong relationship with God, and we are the youth pastors at our church together. Our lives revolve around church, which is pretty awesome for us."
The couple will wed in May.
The proposal story of Jessica Loggins, 25, and Daniel McKenzie, 24, could have been pulled out of a Nicholas Sparks book — the author famous for making people cry in heartfelt stories such as "The Notebook."
The couple was on vacation on Honeymoon Island in Florida on July 4.
Ms. Loggins said it was a coincidence they were on the island.
"We were looking for somewhere we would be able to see the fireworks and bring our puppies, and that particular beach did allow dogs," she said.
Rain was coming and the beach was closing soon, but Ms. Loggins walked along the water collecting seashells as mementos of the vacation.
"I turned around, and he was down on one knee …" she said. "It was perfect."
As Ms. Loggins' beau presented her with a ring, fireworks went off in the background.
A short time later, the sky started pouring rain.
"We took off running as fast as we could toward our car, which was a good long way, and we were soaked by the time we got (there)," she said.
The couple dated for four years, and plans to tie the knot in September.
They initially met at church, but reconnected later at Tyler Junior College. Ms. Loggins said McKenzie chased her across campus just to ask her on their first date.
"He's really sweet, and has a good sense of humor," Ms. Loggins said. "He's one of the few people that I know is smarter than I am, and he is supportive of my goals."
Buck Webster, 33, asked his longtime girlfriend Amber Heasley, 29, to marry him on one of the most beloved stars in Texas — the blue star in the center of Cowboys' Stadium.
"We are both huge sports fans, and we have been Cowboys fans for as long as we both can remember," Ms. Heasley said.
The pair toured the stadium on a guided tour on Father's Day 2012 with their then- one-year-old baby girl Scarlett, Ms. Heasley said. At the end of the tour, everyone gets a chance to take a snapshot on the infamous star, and Webster took the opportunity to surprise his future bride. Ms. Heasley cried as she looked down at her two loves — her daughter and husband to be.
The pair met through a mutual friend. Ms. Heasly said she was initially attracted to his blue eyes, but it was her heart that she fell in love with.
"(He is) understanding, not pushy and level-minded," she said. "He is really smart, but not conceited. Most importantly, he was willing to let me be me, and he didn't try to make me into someone. … He took me for who I was and accepted it."
The couple will get married on their seven year anniversary in April.

Giffords tours N.Y. gun show
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — A smiling Gabrielle Giffords toured rows of tables loaded with rifles and handguns Sunday in her first visit to a gun show since surviving a 2011 shooting, and pleaded afterward for people to come together to stop gun violence.
The former Arizona congresswoman visited the Saratoga Springs Arms Fair with her astronaut husband, Mark Kelly and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to highlight a voluntary agreement that closely monitors gun show sales in New York.
Story Continued Below
The trio mixed with a gun show crowd that was mostly welcoming — with a few hostile undertones — before calling for people to build on the cooperative effort.
"We must never stop fighting," Giffords said at a post-tour news conference, her fist in the air. "Fight! Fight! Fight! Be bold! Be courageous!"
( PHOTOS: Gabrielle Giffords's congressional career)
Giffords, a face of the national gun control effort, slowly walked hand-in-hand with Kelly through the large room where Winchester rifles, muzzle-loaders, antique knives and other weapons were on display and "Don't Tread on Me" flags covered a wall.
They stopped at display tables, Kelly asked dealers questions about the weapons, and Giffords shook hands and smiled when people greeted her. "Good to see you looking good!" some said. Kelly bought a book on Colt revolvers, and said later he probably would have bought a gun if he had had more time. He said both he and his wife are gun owners.
The trio was greeted by light applause when introduced at the news conference, but some people booed from across the room. Dealer Joe Albano, who chatted with Kelly about his muzzle-loaders, later said the couple was nice. But he also said he was against New York's recent gun control law, which is separate from the Schneiderman initiative.
"If she can help us, fine," Albano said. "We're doing everything right here. We're legal."
Under the agreements worked out by Schneiderman, all firearms are tagged at the entrances to gun shows. Operators must provide computer stations for sellers to do national background checks.

As they are taken away through a limited number of exits, guns are checked to make sure background checks were performed. No buyers can leave a show without documentation of a proper sale.
Schneiderman, who has worked with all 35 gun show operators in New York, showed the couple how the process worked.
"It's great to see government and licensed firearms dealers working together to solve a problem," Kelly said.
Giffords was shot in the head while meeting with constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson in January 2011. Six people died, including District Judge John Roll.
Though it was mostly smiles inside, about a dozen protesters rallied outside the gun show holding signs critical of New York's new law that expanded a ban on military-style weapons, among other things. The law was passed not long after the December school massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
Kenneth Hall, who held a sign with a swastika that read in part "gun control made the Holocaust possible," said the New York background check was not needed.
"I believe this is a publicity stunt for Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords," Hall said. "They say they're Second Amendment supporters. I don't believe they are."

Plough Monday raised £2,051.25 for this year's beneficiaries.
The annual event was held in Balsham on January 7.
The cash will be distributed between Meadow Primary School, Balsham Youth Group and Chernobyl Children's Lifeline at the presentation evening, at The Bell pub at 8.30pm on Monday (February 4).
Jan Ellam, who organises the event, said: "I have to say that after my earlier misgivings about the weather, it was actually a warmish dry night which may well be the reason why we had so many followers.
"Thank you it was lovely to see so many people turn out to see us and in particular I would like to thank our wonderful hosts who fed, watered and made us so comfortable that were in danger of outstaying our welcome.
"There was also a higher number than usual of Morris men, some who travel quite a way just to be part of Plough Monday, we are very grateful to them for accompanying us with their music and traditions.
"Sales of raffle tickets were good again this year, thanks George, glad to see some winners among your batch of tickets.
"First prize of £100 was won by Gill Parry Brown, £40 meat voucher went to Mr Taylor of Bartons Close, the Bell meal voucher was won by Ruth Jones and the Dog and Duck meal voucher by Roland Daniels.
"All Ploughmen, past and present, helpers, hosts and in fact, anyone who would like to be involved with the club and our activities are very welcome to join us."

From Webnewser: Last week, ABC's George Stephanopoulos conducted a back-and-forth Twitter exchange with Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, who is one of the most prolific Twitterers in Congress.
Well now, the moderator of the Sunday morning public affairs show "This Week" will conduct his first Twitterview– an interview via Twitter- and he's doing it with Sen. John McCain.
We're going to attempt to conduct a full interview exclusively on Twitter — complete with the 140-character limit! All a part of exploring new ways to connect with our "This Week" viewers online. So, if you have any suggested questions for me to ask Sen. McCain — in 140 characters or less — "twitter" me!
Last Friday, msnbc.com's First Read wrote about how Sen. McCain has gone from being a "candidate who acknowledged during the 2008 presidential campaign not using e-mail or Blackberries to now being a Twitter touter."
TVNewser conducted its first (and so far only) Twitterview in September with CNN's Rick Sanchez.
