A Landmark Album
Kurt Harding | Boerne TX | 02/22/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I became aware of Los Lobos during the early 1980s with the release of their EP "...And a Time To Dance" and made sure I saw them live when they were doing the promotional tour for this album. They have since become a national act but How Will The Wolf Survives stands as one of the most enduring albums of its day. With the airwaves awash in glamrock and corporate-rock powerhouse groups, Los Lobos was a breath of fresh air. Its infectious mix of hard-driving roots rock, country, and blues judiciously tinged with the pulsing accordion of David Hidalgo provided an antidote to the stale pap being cranked out in the top-40 and AOR formats. My favorites are the irresistable Don't Worry Baby, I Got Loaded, the country-ish Our Last Night and, arguably the best song on the album, the accordion-driven The Breakdown. I think the title cut and the two Norteno songs are mediocre but the quality of the rest of the music gives it the five stars. How Will the Wolf Survive stands as the best mostly English-language album issued by Los Lobos. It is a landmark album that has yet to be matched by any of the band's subsequent releases except for the fabulous La Pistola y El Corazon. If your tastes run to the eclectic with a strong leaning toward the southwest, then this comes highly recommended. And by the way, the accordion is an important component of the music, so if you don't like accordions, you are not going to like this."
Still Smokin' after all these years!
John L. Lyons | Auburn, AL | 11/24/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is the album for a new listener to start with as an introduction to Los Lobos. Los Lobos' music blends blues, zydeco, rock, & norteno into a rich melting pot of sounds! This album doesn't mess around - it roars off with the bluesy "Don't Worry Baby." Cesar Rosas powers it with strong vocals & guitar riffs! It also has beautiful ballads by David Hidalgo such as "A Matter of Time." The soft & stringly "Lil King of Everything" leads into their great classic "Will The Wolf Survive." Los Lobos' music has something for everybody! Since it's release in 1984, this albums remains one of my top favorites! I highly recommend it!"
Straight from the soul
Tyler Smith | Denver, CO United States | 03/19/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This terrific mid-80s release is a great place to start if you have not sampled the work of Los Lobos, one of this country's most essential bands. From traditional Mexican folk music to straight-ahead rockers, to outright country the band sounds fresh and free of musical preconceptions.One of the attractions of "How Will the Wolf Survive" is that it keeps the listener pleasantly off balance throughout. In the first three cuts, for example, they deliver a steaming rocker ("Don't Worry Baby"), a poigant but topical ballad on the hopes and dreams of migrant workers ("Matter of Time") and the Hispanic roots piece "Corrido #1." Los Lobos pulls off this musical diversity because whatever the play, they remain true to the spirit of the tune. For example, when they take on the C&W tune "Our Last Night," they take you back to the honkey tonk, but they are not mocking the song.Best of all, the band just sounds like they are having a great time playing. Listen to the sly rocker "The Breakdown" (complete with accordian breaks) and the drinking tune "I Got Loaded" for examples of their exuberant tone and attitude.Los Lobos continues to this day to show that when you remain open to the musical sources and ideas, you never lack for inspiration. Messrs. Hidalgo, Rosas and company deserve a big round of applause for the tasty smorgasbord they offer up on "How Will the Wolf Survive?""

Be active
Physical activity can get you in the right state of mind in identify the causes of your stress and also in finding a solution for it. Though exercise won't make your stress disappear just with a snap of fingers but it will definitely reduce the emotional intensity, will clear your thoughts and enable you to deal with your problems more patiently.
Take control of the situation
There is always a solution to every problem. If you keep on thinking passively that you can't do anything about my problem, your stress will get worse. Take control of the situation. This will empower you and is a crucial part of finding a solution.
Connect with people
'A problem shared is a problem halved' - this adage is so apt for the stress eliminating situations. A good support network of colleagues, friends and family can ease your work troubles and help you see things in a different way. Being with friends and sharing a good laugh sometimes prove to be excellent stress busters.
Avoid unhealthy habits
Relying on alcohol, smoking and caffeine are the worst soothing agents to distress. These unhealthy practices will never solve the problem rather will create new ones. It might provide temporary relief but the effect would be short lived and unhealthy.
Participate in some volunteer work
People who help others become more resilient. Helping others who are often in a situation worse than yours might help you see your own problem with a new perspective. Do a good deed every day. It could be as small as helping someone to cross the road.
Work smart, not hard
Good time management and efficient work prioritisation gives quality work. Slogging on for longer hours will make the task dull. Try to concentrate and finish the work within a set time. The feeling of accomplishment will distress automatically.
Sport a positive attitude
Look up to the positives in life and things for which you are happy and grateful. Make a conscious effort to be more positive in life. Believe in "if no one can do it, I WILL do it" attitude.
Accept things which you can't change
Changing a situation up side down isn't always possible. Recognise and accept things as they are. Focus on things you can do best in that situation.
Follow this STRESS technique:
S - Sleep well and sleep enough
T - Time management
R - Relax and rest
E - Exercise regularly
S - Smile, always
S - Simplify life

Ahmad Bradshaw tried to fall short of the end zone, as per Eli Manning's advice, so that the Giants could take more time off the clock and then kick the game winning field goal. It didn't work out: he scored the touchdown, giving the Giants the lead in Super Bowl 46 with about 1 minute left in the game. Luckily, the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl and nothing came of his potential gaffe.
Chris Collinsworth, the color commentator of the Super Bowl, and a number of analysts all agreed with Eli Manning, that running out the clock would have been in the Giants best interests. They argued that it is a mistake to give Tom Brady any time, let alone 1 minute, to engineer a game winning touchdown.
However, there are those, like me, who felt that scoring the touchdown and taking the lead was the correct decision. Instead of focusing on what Tom Brady could do in 1 minute, shouldn't the Giants first assure themselves of a lead to protect? What if the Giants would have fumbled the ball on the ensuing play? Perhaps Tynes would have botched the game winning field goal on 4th down? Maybe the center or the holder would have mishandled the snap? Or maybe the Patriots would have blocked the field goal?
With so many different possibilities that would have ended the Giants season on a sour note, scoring the touchdown was the right move. I'm not just saying this with the comfort of 20-20 hindsight. I say this based on the foresight of the rabbis of the Talmud who codified the well known principle, "Bari Ve'shema, Bari Adif;" that when two conflicting scenarios arise- one which, in this case, guarantees the lead, and the other which does not guarantee the lead, take the guaranteed points.
Either way, it worked out for the New York "Football" Giants. And for a die hard Raider fan who has still not forgotten about the infamous Brady "Tuck Rule" game, I was pleased.

The next time I visit New York, which can't be soon enough, I will make it a point to visit the Cornelia Street Café. The restaurant in Greenwich Village has intrigued me with its digital notifications about performances by musicians, singers, poets and uncategorizable others. Eclecticism seems to be the café's guiding principle. The latest schedule speaks of poetry eventsrecreated conversations of the German composer Hanns Eislera lecture on "The Pathological Sublime and The Anatomical Unconscious"the travel writer Ralph Pottsa trio made up of two singers and a bassista vocalist named Brianna Thomas of whom the Cornelians quote Will Friedwald as saying that she "may be the best young straight-ahead jazz singer of her generation" (who knew?)and an array of adventurous jazz players of the downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn jazz scenes.
What brought Cornelia Street to mind was a message from the trumpeter John McNeil inviting me to his next engagement there with his band Urban Legend. Alas, I can't go, but this presents an opportunity to share with you writing of the kind McNeil often disseminates in advance of his gigs.
In the message, McNeil wrote this about Urban Legend:
Steve Cardenas, Bill McHenry and I have had this band for something approaching eight years, with a changing cast of bass and drums. On the bandstand I'm the leader and ostensibly the music is mine, but in eight years band members have contributed major changes to all of it. McHenry and Cardenas have done the most, but I always tell the various bassists and drummers that ideas are welcome, and they come through with a lot. Matt Penman in particular changed a lot of harmony, bass lines etc.
Cardenas and I have collaborated on a tune or two also, and the result of all this is a book that is diverse but maintains a consistent vibe. What that vibe is I can't really say, but like porn, I know it when I hear it.
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I admire McNeil not only for his wit, general musicianship and trumpet virtuosity, but also for his fortitude in the face of vicissitudes that might have persuaded many of us to close up shop. If you follow this link, you'll see a Rifftides archive piece explaining that. It includes video of a performance with his quartet.

|Wes Montgomery
The Guitar started out in jazz as a rhythm section instrument. It only really came to the fore as a standalone item when Charlie Christian joined the Benny Goodman sextet and started to use amplification; he can't really be said to be a founding father of be bop but he was instrumental in the run up to that period.
He came from a musical family and he and his two brothers plus the father busked for a living. He originally wanted to play the tenor sax, but was dissuaded in favour of the trumpet, which he declined.
He had no real influences but was himself influential to most of those early be boppers Gillespie, Davis et al. He ruled the Downbeat and Metronome polls for years after his 1940 debut with Goodman. He unfortunately contracted TB at an early age and it returned later and he died in 1942 aged just 25. Partly because of his age and his relatively short time in the spotlight he never recorded as a leader of his own group, so all his recordings are with others or compilations.
This is "Stompin' at the Savoy", recorded live at Minton's in '41. It gives Christian more room to expand his playing than when within the confines of Goodmans sextet:
Within the jazz context I have no hesitation about naming Wes Montgomery as my favorite guitarist. the first guitar album I purchased was his with his brothers, who were also jazz musicians: The Montgomery Brothers "Groove Yard" - not his first but my first introduction to him. He also played on another of my collection, "Work Song" with Nat Adderley, Cannonball Adderley's cornet-playing brother - a lot of brothers involved here !
Born in 1923 he learnt to play the six string guitar by listening to Charlie Christian records. He never learnt to read music and all his playing was by ear; it was that ability to play Christian note for note that got him noticed by Lionel Hampton whom he joined. These were hard times for him and his family of eight back home and he supplemented his income by working shifts in a factory. His career took off when he was "discovered by Cannonball Adderley in '59. His first album on Riverside followed a year later: "Far Wes". he moved to Verve records in '64 and his album with Wynton Kelly "Smokin at the Half Note" along with his earlier "The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery" on Riverside are probably his best work in the jazz genre and arguably the best jazz guitar albums full stop; the latter won the Down Beat poll for best jazz guitar alum six years running from '60 - '67.
Sadly he was another whose career was cut short by ill health: he died after a heart attack in 1968.
He was summed up rather well by Joe Pass, himself no slouch with the instrument:
"To me there have been just three real innovators on the guitar: Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt."
Here is the man with the "bionic" thumb playing Round Midnight in 1965:
And this number I have on some authority was the equivalent of a war anthem for the coloured troops in Vietnam - his own composition, "Bumpin' on Sunset":
Joe Pass, here playing "Satin Doll" -
- was of Sicilian descent and started playing at nine and by fourteen was getting work. he moved from Pennsylvania to NY City and soon in his early twenties developed a heroin addiction, spending most of the fifties in prison. After a two and a half year stay in a rehab center he emerged clean; as he said, " I didn't play a lot during that time". During the sixties he worked with many artists and musicians and produced several albums. He also worked as a sideman for Ella Fitzgerald, with whom he did six albums, and many other singers including Frank Sinatra. During much of this period he worked in and around the LA area in films and TV including the Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin and Steve Allen shows.
In 1970 he signed for Norman Granz Pablo records and produced his finest work, the solo album Virtuoso.
Herb Ellis is best known for his many years with the Oscar Peterson Trio so his solo work is slightly less than would expect from such a distinguished guitarist.
This is "Blues for Everyone":
Charlie Byrd is best known for his Brazilian-based music and bringing jazz samba to the fore with Stan Getz. Jazz Samba was also the name of the album that with Getz introduced bossa nova to the public and was a long running success. Byrd never strayed far from his Latin theme and unlike many contemporaries finger he plucked a classical guitar; he was classically trained and spent some time studying under Andres Segovia in Italy. Here he is playing Antonio Carlos Jobin's "Corcovado":
I always enjoyed Byrd; he was a quiet, gentle antidote to the mad world outside.
In honesty my guitar album collection is not large apart from work by those above and I do not like to comment on musicians that I have heard little of, the likes of Grant Green, Jim Hall and George Benson or nothing at all. It is an area of jazz that I have never given proper time to explore, and that applies to most of the more contemporary players of latter years; it's partly because many are cross-over artists even based mainly on rock and those whom I have heard in that role I prefer to enjoy as rock guitarists. John McLaughlin is in that category: when he plays "jazz" there is really not much difference to his rock work and the music of Pat Matheney for me falls into the same group. Listening blind you could be forgiven for thinking Pink Floyd had released another album, which in itself is not a bad thing, but is it jazz ? I leave you to judge:

The screen did not display
dell laptop core 2. the screen did not display sometime they will be different color stroll down the screen, how can i fix that someone told me that the screen as damage.
Is this a good question?
It is possible that your LCD is failing i.e. bad TAB etc. Try an external monitor and see if it displays without difficulty.
I can see it, but it is very dark. Is it repairable?
That means that your backlight is not working. It is possible that it is a failed CCFL. It might help if you tell us which laptop you have.

(Honolulu-AP) -- Kim Willoughby had 38 kills to lead the University of Hawaii over Washington 26-30, 30-22, 30-27, 30-28 last night in the final match of the Wahine Challenge.
Willoughby's performance broke her own school and Western Athletic Conference four-game kill record. Teammate Lily Kahumoku added 16 kills.
The fourth-ranked Wahine won all three of their matches at the round-round tournament to improve to 6-0. Washington suffered its first loss of the season after five victories. San Diego State defeated San Francisco 30-20, 30-25, 30-16 in an earlier match.
Willoughby was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Kahumoku, fellow Wahine Margaret Vakasausau and Benjamin were among those named to the all-tournament team.

Does anyone have experiance with generating wind sounds for a car that the user would hear from the drivers seat. We already have the front and side air preasure on the car, we are calculating this already for our dynamics. We need something fairly realalistic does any one have a suggestions on how to do this?
This does have to be done real time, but since we have a dedicated machine (2 CPU) we can dedicate a good deal of CPU time to this.
- dheitbri asked 12 years ago
I would use FMOD Designer to prototype.
We actually have a wind example, but its not as realistic as you would like. (it is like a whistling wind).
First, add a white noise oscillator, then start adding lowpass and bandpass filters and tweak the cutoff / resonance values. Thats what i did.
- brett answered 12 years ago
Do you know if any perticular noise function would work better, like Perlin Noise, or Gauss. We were thing about trying to use a noise function to generate a wind sound, then using band-stop filter to simulate the mufflering effect the cars body has.
Right now we are under kind of a time constraint, we need to crank this out pretty quick, our old system we are replacing sucked so we are not aiming for the stars here we need something passable, but we also plane on going back in improving everything once we have something that works.
If you have recording gear, record while driving in a quiet car with quiet tires. You can study the sampled audio and recreate, or just filter the sample as needed (remove any tire or engine noise) and loop.
In a race car, the dominant sound will be the engine and exhaust.
You can find examples for both on YouTube, Google videos, etc.
To create colored white noise, randomly perturb a sine wave at the desired frequency (this is how I created a low frequency jet engine boost sound). Combine multiple perturbed frequencies to add depth. When playing back in the car, the noise will not be continuous, but will waver a bit.
Tire and wind noise are going to be the dominant sound in this case. We are modeling fairly "normal" driving conditions, you mostly only here the engine in most cars when you apply the gas. We have a good engine model, or good enough, there is some good lit on producing engine sounds.
We are using a late 90's malibu, and and a late 90's Jeep SUV.
Anyways we will probully try to get a quite car, maybe a hybrid and drive it on new black top at 25,45,55,65 then blend the sounds based on speed and impact pressure.
The questions are:
Whats the best way to when recording to isolate the "wind sound", this may not realy be possible, since the road sound is pretty close from what I can tell.
Also how much to we need to vary amp and freq of our noise vs impact pressure.
I think we have enough to make ok sounding stuff. I guess a good deal will be just playing around with stuff until we get something that sounds right………
A directional shotgun mic pointed at the window(s) could help reduce road noise (can rent if you don't have one).
You could try to isolate the road noise using advanced spectral (FFT based) filtering in SoundForge and Audition. However, if you are going for realism, road noise should not be removed. Just record at various speeds, and blend betwen the samples at runtime based on simulation speed. The best effect would be a stereo mic placed near the driver's head, playing back the stereo recording at runtime (providing depth). I think you'll find a good solution without too much work.
We are not worried about the tire/road sounds as we are modeling these sounds seperatly, we already have a model based on these built, and they seem to work ok for now.
What we have decided for now is to record the wind sounds using a shotgun mike pointed at the windows, recorded at regular intervals, then interpolating between sounds in our simulation based on forward windpressure. If we have time I think I will experiment with overlaying different noise functions as well.

To install an underground sprinkler system, draw a map of the intended layout, avoiding areas that contain underground utilities, and place stakes and string them along the desired sprinkler lines. Dig trenches that are 6 to 12 inches deep, and install the water supply lines. Connect the sprinkler heads to the pipe according to the manufacturer instructions, connect the system to the water supply, and install a backflow prevention device.
Before beginning, refer to local regulations to determine whether a building permit is necessary and to determine what type of backflow prevention device to install. When planning the installation, create zones on the property, and install enough sprinkler heads in each zone to allow the water to slightly overlap when the sprinkler heads are on.
Set the sod aside when digging the trenches, and use the sod to cover the trenches after installation of the system. Check the trenches to ensure they are level before installing the system.
Before connecting the PVC pipe with adhesive, dry fit the lines to ensure they fit together properly, and then connect the lines. Install the control panel as instructed in the owner's manual, turn the system on to check for leaks, and set the timer.

As President Barack Obama enthusiastically raises money for Democratic super PACs, he's embracing some of the same secretive elements of unlimited funding system that he long has railed against.
What Obama and the White House said before and after he decided to start raising money for super PACs:
"I can't think of anything more devastating to the public interest. The last thing we need to do is hand more influence to the lobbyists in Washington, or more power to the special interests to tip the outcome of elections." — Obama, January 2010, in his weekly radio and Internet address, after the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling paved the way for unlimited political contributions.
"With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections. ... I'd urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to correct some of these problems." — Obama, January 2010, in State of the Union address.
"He's not saying that the system is healthy or good. He is making the decision, his campaign is making the decision, that the rules are what they are. And they cannot play by a different set of rules than Republicans are playing." — White House spokesman Jay Carney, February 2012, after his campaign announced that Obama officials would start attending super PAC fundraisers.
"The president has long advocated for campaign finance reform and expressed his opposition to the Citizens United ruling, which opened the floodgates for special interests. ... He has tried to do a lot on this, some unilaterally, but when Republicans block measures in Congress, he doesn't feel like we're going to allow the midterms to happen on an uneven playing field." — White House spokesman Eric Schultz, July 2014.

Cottage-Inspired Kids' Rooms
Every summer, we feel the powerful allure of cottage decor: natural wood, seashells, wicker and plain white walls, all awash in a sea of sunlight. Even if you live in an urban center, you can take your cue from these cottage and cottage-inspired bedrooms, found at Canadian House & Home, and bring some cottage vibe to your kids' rooms.
The trick to achieving this look is restraint. You want to mix vintage and newer pieces without being cluttery, and layer patterns without being too matchy-matchy or too busy. While you want to bring color into the room, do so with a light hand. White walls make a great backdrop for this look, and don't be afraid to leave them more bare than you might normally do.
If you like themed rooms, the nautical look is a popular cottage standby – again remembering to exercise restraint. It only takes two or three elements (such as the model sailboats, sailboat bedspreads and blue motif in the room above) to get the theme across.

Welcome to Gatecrash Week!
I hope everyone who wanted to was able to get out to a Prerelease event this past weekend. I am admittedly not a competitive player these days, but I do love getting an early crack at the new set. It's nice to switch things up and take a stab at a different format once in a while too.
I gotta admit, though, that I just can't get used to 40-card decks. I'm so used to Commander decks that I find myself looking around nervously all the time to make sure the other half of my cards didn't get knocked on the floor or something. I also end up a little surprised when I draw multiples of a nonland card; if ever you get paired against me, make some notes on the duplicates you see in the first game and watch my face in the next ones. I'm positive I'm throwing out tells like an amateur poker player on a weekend trip to Vegas.
Anyway, the one thing I do look forward to after a weekend of playing new cards (terribly) is a chance to get back and start brewing in Commander with all of the new toys the set brings to us. For Gatecrash Week, the Commander writers here at StarCityGames.com decided to divvy up the new legendary offerings and get a bit of a jump on things, kind of like we did with Return to Ravnica. Sean laid early claim to the Simic Combine, and I'm pretty sure that Bennie has something in his contract stipulating that he gets first shot at anything big and green, so I decided to take a look at the darker side of this fair city with Obzedat, leader of the Orzhov.
The Remix
Ghost Council 2.0 is a tough nut to crack for Commander. He's going to see a ton of love in both Limited and Standard, but things are a little different in this format. Let's take a look at how the new school stacks up against the old school before we take a look at where I went with the deck.
In all honesty, the size and casting cost increases are so marginal that they barely matter in comparison. Typically, the threshold for respectable creature size in this format starts at 6/6, so neither the old nor the new GC really hits the mark anyway. Both pack the same color requirements, so an extra colorless mana isn't really a make-or-break proposition (and neither one is particularly easy in this area to begin with, necessitating a decent focus on not overdoing it with colorless utility lands.)
From there, things get a little trickier. Obzedat doubles up on the payoff from the enters-the-battlefield trigger and doesn't require an additional creature sacrifice to get moving, at the expense of being able to choose when and where to activate the ability. This is tough to quantify; in theory, the OG Council is more flexible and able to dodge instant speed removal, but without support, he can get caught out in the open and easily fall to a Wrath of God. 2.0 is never sticking around to let that happen.
Realistically, this probably ends up a push. It will come down to your play style and preference for power over flexibility (or vice-versa.). It might even come down to the art (I'm down with the original over the new personally) or whether you manage to pull one from a pack and resist trading it to the Standard crowd for the huge value it currently enjoys. The similarities between the two probably mean that it's not so much which one is at the helm but what's on the ship that really matters.
Let's weigh anchor and see what I'm setting sail with, shall we?
Going Off the Reservation
This is what happens when someone hands me a blank sheet of paper and a box of crayons. I get a little crazy.
I wanted to take this deck and article in a different and unexpected direction. There are tons of examples of W/B Commander decks out there, and since this theme week allows me to work on an original design with neither the constraint of an existing reader submission nor the boundaries of my own personal collection (or wallet), I decided to get a little crazy.
Theme deck crazy.
Welcome to "The Failed Republic."
This build looks at a city ruled by a corrupt cabal of ghostly bureaucrats. There's a struggle between a failed ruling class that tried to maintain an honorable way of business and life, and an ever-growing cast of unscrupulous characters who seek to take advantage of the economy, the people, and even the military for personal gain. It's a society broken under the fear of a leadership constantly walking the line between law and lawlessness. There's murder, blackmail, and extortion at every turn and a civilization doomed to failure.
This place is a mess, a society on the edge of extinction. Let me walk you through the deck that paints the picture.
The Evil Dictator: Obzedat, Ghost Council
The rulers of this corrupted city are a governing body of bloated Spirits. They disappear with regularity, not willing to let others have access to them when at their most vulnerable state, but quickly reappear with a speedy vengeance to reap, pillage, and profit from the blood of their constituents.
The Landscape
The Orzhov rule this version of Ravnica, and their sphere of influence is expanding. Back in the day, schemes were plotted solely from the clan headquarters at Orzhova, the Church of Deals. That has now expanded with the addition of the Orzhov Basilica and the new Orzhov Guildgate. It isn't an uncommon sight to see a once-peaceful church taken over and converted into a dark Cathedral of War, the Basilica Screechers diving in and out of the marble alcoves with a dreadful banshee's wail. The old ruling class still maintains a fading foothold on the city from deep within Eiganjo Castle, but the City of Shadows is beginning to take its toll on everyone and the bright walls of the fortress have faded and aged into a Tarnished Citadel.
Some semblance of normalcy still remains for the citizens. They venture out to the High Market to procure supplies and needed services and unwind by taking in the spectacle that is the Grand Coliseum. Nonetheless, the Tower of the Magistrate is a truly Forbidding Watchtower that hangs over the city like a specter of death. None ever escape its gaze.
And all the while, deep below the city, the Orzhov continue to amass wealth in the Cabal Coffers…
The Fall of the Old Guard
It wasn't always like this.
The city used to be bright and prosperous. Sorin, Lord of Innistrad once gazed out over the skyline from his throne, a hard-edged ruler who nonetheless had a streak of kindness and a desire to make his city stronger through his rule. The might of his military ruling class kept a steady peace before Obzedat arrived and overran them all in a bloody Rout, his Overwhelming Forces decimating Sorin's ranks in little to no time at all. A bloody battle of Attrition took place, leaving nothing left but the Ravages of War when the dust cleared. Sorin was soundly defeated, and the Ghost Council of Orzhova forced an Armistice on the fallen Lord, announcing it to the city with the clarion call of their Marshal's Anthem.
In reality, there was no deal, and the old guard was simply driven to extinction. Where once there was a proud Knight of Glory, it was now replaced with a corrupt and murderous Knight of Infamy. Sorin withdrew deep into the castle and ceded all power, and the remaining pockets of his old guard were rounded up and forced into slave labor; their badges replaced with chains, their Swords to Plowshares. Never again would the citizens see their Valor on display, and to this day the only remnants of what once was—the royal Throne, Scepter, and Crown of Empires and the Imperial Seal—silently collect dust in the darkness of a forgotten museum.
The Orzhova installed Darien, King of Kjeldor as a puppet dictator to rule the city outwardly and answer to their every whim behind closed doors, and with that, they had realized a complete Martial Coup.
Things Get Worse
Once the path to rule the city was clear, the Orzhov wasted no time. A new government was put into place, filled with many a Corrupt Official unafraid to pay for Ambition's Cost to gain a Promise of Power. A ruling body filled with many an inept senator or Sengir Autocrat engaged at first in Night Dealings to hide their festering corruption but soon dropped all vestiges of honor and outwardly called on Underworld Connections to force a Cruel Bargain or Infernal Contract on the unprotected people living under their rule.
The innocent city dwellers were punished deeply by a cruel justice system unafraid to hand down a Merciless Eviction in order to snatch up prime real estate; this in turn was often given in a Gift of Estates to a crooked landowner or an Ogre Slumlord. The rent doubled, and the condition of the buildings were nearly in ruin.
The citizens were doubly careful not to run afoul of the "law," lest they be forced before a Corrupt Court Official and his rigged and Crooked Scales of justice. Once fair, judicious and Noetic, these Culling Scales now manipulated by a Syndic of Tithes forced a simple choice: be made an example by the Bond of a Martyr's Cause and lose everything you've worked for or Sign in Blood and offer a forced Tithe to the Orzhova that was more often than not more than anyone could afford to pay. To stand up and fight was a sure way to disappear forever via an admission of guilt coerced by the Vizikopa Confessor and banishment to the bowels of a Ghostly Prison.
Even the once-proud marketplace now lays in ruin. Honest business eventually gave way to the Black Market dealings of seedy businessmen. Trustworthy establishments closed shop, forced to borrow money and live in fear of the Debtors' Knell after an unreasonable Land Tax left them owing more than they could reasonably afford to pay.
The banks were no longer any help either; attempting to procure a loan to stay afloat would mean agreeing to an exorbitant interest rate from the Icatian Moneychanger, and defaulted payments would lead to visits from the financial institution's Spelltithe Enforcer that typically ended with worldly possessions piled onto the Treasury Thrull for repossession. Neither option being all that favorable, complete family inheritances were often flung headlong into The Abyss.
The Current State of Affairs
The fair city is now a shell of its former self. Residents have largely disappeared, sneaking away under cover of night or disappearing after midnight visits from a Syndicate Enforcer. Soldiers are nothing more than mercenaries, proud warriors now forced into the role of Knight of Obligation to make ends meet. Even the once-noble Basilica Guards are unafraid to resort to petty theft to keep food on the table.
Those that remain are burdened by a Blind Obedience to Obzedat, fearful of the otherworldly Temporal Extortion the ghostly cabal wields but silently praying that a Day of Judgment will someday arrive to rescue them from the hellish Nether Void of their existence.
Summing It All Up
Now, this is admittedly very heavy-handed in the theme department (and heavier in the creative writing department, for which I deeply apologize…). Nonetheless, the deck within can still stand on its own and should actually be a decent little midrange build for group games.
It will want to leverage the new extort cards to keep gaining incremental life and slowly bleed out opponents. There's a nod to exalted as well, which should help to make Obzedat a potentially solid way to win the game on the back of commander damage. For an on-theme B/W deck, it still picks up some solid mana acceleration in the way of Land Tax, Tithe, Gift of Estates, and Black Market, and there are plenty of control elements as well, from the shiny-and-new Merciless Eviction to Culling Scales and Overwhelming Forces.
The life gain is there to fuel the draw that taxes the deck, from Promise of Power to Infernal Contract and Ambition's Cost. And while I typically dislike mass land destruction, Ravages of War can be a game-ender on the heels of Obzedat, and tossing in Temporal Extortion at the right time can easily do the trick as well.
I'm not saying that this is the strongest deck out there. There are certainly some on-theme stinkers present, but if you play smart and try to be the "third-biggest threat" at the table, this deck should hang right in to the very end.

With the thematic inclusion of some of the rarest and most sought after cards from the Portal expansions, it's very clear that the rulers let the city slide into a massive budget deficit as a consequence of poor fiscal planning and embezzlement on all levels.

I decided that if I was going to do this, I was going to do it in style, folks. And yes, I probably do need to get my medication looked at.
Luckily for those of you interested in putting this deck together, you can shave roughly $1,250 off the price by substituting some lower-dollar selections for the four cards at the bottom of the list. Off the top of my head, you can stick with the same rough functionality and go with Wrath of God, Armageddon, Magus of the Abyss, and Plague Wind.
Wrapping Up
I hope you all enjoyed this little escape from the norm. It's a departure for me (and one that won't happen all that often—please stop the cheering), but I had a wonderful time piecing it all together.
Before I head out for the week, I want to put out a call to the Dear Azamireaders to help Sean and me out a little bit. Last week, Sean noted that he and I might cross paths someday to try a deck build-off stemming from the same submission, with the goal of coming in under the $20 budget that we offer in credit to StarCityGames.com for being a part of the show each week.
It got me thinking. We share an article space, but Sean and I have never actually crossed paths before. While it is clear that we share many similar beliefs regarding Commander as a format, I suspect that we also approach things from very different angles, so this should be a fascinating exercise.
What I'd like from you, should you choose, is a submission that you think would be a great one for this little contest. If you have something that you think would be a solid deck for us both to put our personal signatures on or you want to come up with something from scratch that fits the bill, submit it to Dear Azamiand make sure to point it out to us in the email subject. We'll hash out the details and get to work very soon.
Thanks again, everyone. Enjoy the rest of Gatecrash Week!
I am Izzet. Besides being the main colors that I usually flock to when I build decks or draft (the best time I ever had in Standard was playing Adrian Sullivan's "Eminent Domain" list!), I'm also very much behind the philosophy; I'm at my happiest tinkering around with things, understanding them, and experimenting with them. Any wonder that my background is in computers, graphic and web design, and my degree is in film theory and production? ;)
Want to submit a deck for consideration to Dear Azami? We're always accepting deck submissions to consider for use in a future article, like Kris' Reaper King deck or Andrew's Lovisa Coldeyes deck. Only one deck submission will be chosen per article, but being selected for the next edition of Dear Azamiincludes not just deck advice but also a $20 coupon to StarCityGames.com !
Email us a deck submission using this link here!
Like what you've seen? Feel free to explore more of "Dear Azami" here!Feel free to follow Sean on Facebook... Sometimes there are extra surprises and bonus content to be found over on his Facebook Fan Page, as well as previews of the next week's column at the end of the week!

The success of the Viejo Indecente liquor packaging is certainly the way that it appeals to the consumer's curiosity. Many beverage branding strategies involve providing printed information and a charming logo on the sticker, but such a technique is rarely enough to really catch someone's attention.
YuJo! Creatividad Aplicada of Mexico bottled the transparent alcohol in a clear bottle to make the flavor of it a mystery. No conventional label was attached to the vessel; instead, the designer inked the glass directly with the secretive image of an old door keyhole on the front. To give this enigmatic emblem additional depth, Viejo Indecente liquor packaging includes the illustration of a eye behind the opening, looking as though it's longing to know what lies on the other side.

I just have a studio apartment so setting up a wireless network seems overkill, but I would like to have the content from my iMac on my TV. Do I have to get an airport extreme to use the apple TV, or is there another suggestion someone has. My computer is about 6 ft from the TV. I also have close to 400GB of content, h.264 movies, music, photos, etc. I already am running the audio from my computer to the sound system hooked up to the TV via a firewire interface, but it's annoying to look halfway across the room to use front row from the couch on the iMac to control the music. Hopefully thats not too confusing, I appreciate any help!

Liverpool had endured goalless draws in their previous two league games, sparking much criticism of boss Rafael Benitez´s rotation policy.
In the end it was substitute Benayoun, a £5million buy from West Ham in the summer, who netted a 75th minute winner for his first league goal for the Reds.

The Ukiah Valley Christmas Effort was started in 1948 by some of the teachers and principals in the Ukiah Valley School District (Jack Simpson, Bob Cannon and other school personnel), because of a letter the school nurse received from a concerned parent and her concern of the children's health in our area. They saw that some of the children woudlnt have a good Christmas because they were just too poor and needy. So the Ukiah Valley Christmas Effort goes to merchanges and families in the greater Ukiah area to get donations of food, clothes and presents for the children to give to the needy families in the area. Shirley Grover changed it to its own organization with its own bank account, she also changed it making it an official government authorized non profit assiociation with board members. This meant that no one gets any money or gratuity for anything that is done.
Christmas Eve morning at 6:00am perishables get packed and get ready for deliveries at about 8:00am. All boxes are delivered or picked up on the 24th of December until 5:00pm. Covering the greater Ukiah area, Hopland, The Forks, Redwood Valley, Potter Valley and Talmage, in 2011 754 families were served or about 3,000 children wiht a budget of $30,000 dollars.
The public is the most important part in that the public is needed to donate money, food, toys and time. Donations are collected year-round and stored to be used on the final weeks of the Effort.
The magic happens the two weeks before Christmas. Volunteer Elves assemble gift baskets for delivery. Help is always needed and one does not have to stay all day. Come volunteer wherever you like and stay as long as you can. Any help given to The Effort is greatly appreciated!

Revitalized marketing reminded a new generation about the box of candy-coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize.
Since Frito-Lay's acquisition of the brand from Borden Foods in November 1997, when annual sales were estimated around $20 million, the snack specialist has more than doubled those sales and is posting double-digit increases each year, says Mr. Neugent, VP-marketing for wholesome snacks for Frito-Lay.
"We made the popcorn bigger and fluffier with more peanuts and bigger prizes, and we put it in bags, as well as boxes, which is a huge advantage for the brand because that is the preferred snacking vehicle," he says.
For Mr. Neugent, 39, who was a Frito-Lay marketing director at the time of the acquisition, two key events signaled the brand's turnaround. First came the successful test of Cracker Jack bags. In addition, there was a positive consumer response to the Super Bowl ad that aired in January 1999. "From that point on, we were selling everything we could make until we could add more capacity," he says.
Promotional programs share a connection with baseball and fun for kids, featuring baseball star Mark McGwire, Rawlings Sporting Goods Co. trading cards and F.A.O. Schwarz. Now in the works are new programs linking Cracker Jack with Pokemon and Scooby Doo characters.

Fellow infidels,
If you thought that the heinous murder of Lee Rigsby was just an isolated case, then think again…infidels are being targeted in the heart of Western Civilization…Great Britain, the home of William Shakespeare and Sir Winston Churchill is being replaced with savages who murder the citizens there just because they are not Muslim. WAKE UP CHRISTIANS, JEWS, HINDUS, BUDDHISTS, AND ATHEISTS! You are ALL infidels and are on their hit list – Burkasrugly
The Manchester Evening News recently ran this story of another deadly Jihadist attack on the streets of a major British city. It seems Crump Raiswell Kieran, 18, was looking for a job in Manchester.
Unbeknownst to him Imran Hussain 27 was also looking, but not for a job. He was looking for an infidel, any infidel, to brutally murder.Hussain parked his car and began looking for a victim.
He approached without warning and with a long bladed knife stabbed Kieran four times in the chest. As the prosecutor put it, "Kieran crossed the road and then entirely without warning Hussain Imran approached him and stabbed to the front and back of his chest four times before running off." Meanwhile Kieran fell to the ground. He was able to rise to his feet, before finally collapsing. Within moments the paramedics arrived and tried to stabilize Kieran. Alas, it was too late. Kieran expired just minutes after arriving at hospital.
Imran Hussain eluded capture for months but recently the British police through surveillance video positively identified him. Initially Imran denied the attack. But when he was shown incriminating evidence he claimed temporary insanity. (Nice try. Anybody who has spent a life time reading hate filled Islamic literature could probably claim the same.) Finally he broke down and gave the police a complete confession.
Anyone who has knowledge of Islam knew Imran was emulating the perfect Muslim man; Mohammed. Mohammed urged his followers to kill all the infidels, In fact it becomes a sacred duty for all Muslims to purge the world of kafirs. It is how you earn Brownie points in the madness of militant Islam. Any nameless, faceless infidel will do as a sacrifice to the monster god Allah. As an added feature the Jihadi wins the lottery of perpetual sexual activity in Paradise, also known as the great Islamic whorehouse in the sky.
These random murders are becoming entirely too frequent in Great Britain. Killing, rape, pedophilia and Sharia enforced zones are popping up all over the country. Meanwhile, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have been banned from Britain. They might tell the truth about militant Islam which would provoke Muslims to well, lose control and commit acts of unspeakable violence.Talk about shooting the messenger! Tommy Robinson of the English Defense League has often been jailed for speaking the truth.
Indeed, truth has become the new hate speech, particularly if it offends the ever-offended Muslim thugs roaming the streets of England in search of new victims.

A report from Questus shows that usability and design are extremely important for e-commerce websites.
"We find that Web sites have three seconds to make an impression," said Jeff Rosenblum, co-founder and research and strategy director of Questus. "The actual usability is more important than aesthetics, but at the same time aesthetics are critical."
Clean site design is noted to be a more effective way of getting conversions from online shoppers, according to Rosenblum. "Information overload is a critical and consistent problem, and in this study we found that Web users were more likely to say that a site had too many links as opposed to too few links," he said.

You Can't Catch Me, I'm the Gingerbread Boy!
In addition to reading the book by Paul Galdone, we also read a version of the story by Richard Egielski. We completed a Venn diagram of similarities and differences between the stories, and my students charted wonderful connections. Everything from specific quotes ("Gingerbread Man" vs. "Gingerbread Boy") to characters (there is a fox in both stories, only the Egielski version has a police officer) to plot events (both Gingerbread Boys have to cross water) were recalled in their observations.
