Stay Cool in the Stupid Heat
This is our last week in AZ before we leave to spend the rest of the summer with my parents. Not a moment too soon, because it is STUPID HOT this week-- so much so that I forget the hot part and go around saying, "It's just stupid out here!" ;)
We lost a chicken to heat exhaustion yesterday. We tried electrolytes, a cooling bath and plenty of watermelon, but it wasn't enough for one of the older hens. Poor Miss C was devastated. With temps pushing 112 today, we're putting ice in their water and setting up a water mister. Hopefully, that keeps the rest of ladies comfortable.
We humans, however, are huddling in the air conditioning, eating popsicles, and trying not to go crazy with cabin fever. This song is helping-- I love its mix of R&B with 50's danceability, and the message of body acceptance is awesome. Just what I need now that swimsuit season is staring me down!
Stay cool, everybody!!

This resource page is updated regularly. Latest update: January 2019.
Many Canadians living in California, France, Germany, or other wine-rich areas of the world build lovely wine collections. When the time comes to move back to Canada, their wine collection is part of their household and naturally, it should come too. Easy, right?
Unfortunately, not. Here are some key things you need to understand:
Why all this information? So that you will understand why you must go through the following steps in order to bring your wine collection into Canada when you move. The government wants substantial duties and taxes from you if you choose to bring a collection to Canada.
It is useful to define what a "wine collection" is as used in this resource. You can bring in collections of beer, whiskey, etc. but most people want to bring wine collections in. Yes, of course there are a some people who would bring in different kinds of alcohol and the process, in BC, for example, would be the same.
But, just for simplicity, let's stick to a "wine collection" being defined as 6 x 750ml bottles of wine, or more. Much more, in most people's collections: Dozens of bottles, and in some rare cases: hundreds.
To "import" a wine collection, the province of BC breaks down the volume into 3 categories. Other provinces have their own structures, but assume at this point that they are pretty similar. The first two categories are what are called "casual importation:"
The second category, 3 x 750ml bottles up to 60 bottles, is where many collections fit. You can bring it with you, as noted above, or you can have it shipped separately. This is a very doable volume for which you can handle the paperwork by yourself. "You may appoint a Customs Broker to submit all paperwork to the LDB on your behalf, however this is only an option and you may choose to represent yourself."
There are many cost calculators out there, so the costs won't be covered in this resource. If you can afford a nice collection of wine, likely you don't care about the amount of duties and taxes anyway. And of course, your provincial liquor board will be calculating all this for you, so you can see what it costs at the time of their assessment.
Again, please note that all other provinces have their own similar processes, but here is how it works in BC:
Before your wine collection is brought to, or shipped to, Canada, the "Special Clearance Department" of the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB) will be who you are working with. You need to contact them to handle the paperwork (contact details noted below).
Steps to follow for Canadian citizens and Permanent Residents only who are moving back to live in BC:
...and hopefully your wine collection arrives at your home!
Here is the contact information for the British Columbia:
BCLDB - Special Clearances Department
Fax: 604-252-3350
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 604-252-3345 (Lynne Montgomery, Special Clearances Clerk)
Here is the full details page for Ontario - The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO):
Importing Beverage Alcohol Products into Ontario for Personal Use
As noted above, large collections follow the same process as smaller ones, but may have to be approved by the Director.
Alternatively, if you wish help with the moving of a collection, a professional Mobility Consultant or specialty goods shipping company can either provide the help or move the collection for you.
This resource is updated regularly, as policy and procedures are changing regularly ("Please note the casual importation policy is currently under review and it may [be] subject to change.").
Please share your learning and experiences, and suggest improvements, so that other Canadians moving back to Canada, and those moving here for the first time, may benefit from your experiences and wisdom.
Thank you!

Sikh Studies: My Past, Our Future – By Prof. Van Dusenbery
It is indeed an honor to have been asked by the Sikh Foundation to write about my experiences in Sikh studies and my hopes for its future. This is especially so because I do not hold a chair in Sikh studies. In fact, teaching as I do at a small, liberal arts institution, I do not even have the opportunity to teach courses devoted exclusively to Sikhs… Read More

For a while now, I've been reading articles, listening to webinars/seminars and Islamic books on marriage. Sometimes, things take a while to sink in and other times they sink in but take a while to be accepted and put into action. So, I've decided to put a conscious effort into making changes to be a better person, a better Muslim and inshaAllah, a better future wife. :)
And Valentine's day is here! Nope, I do not celebrate, but I thought it's a perfect topic for the supposed "season of love" or rather a season for a boom in businesses selling all things red, gold and diamond. :P

Excellent post.
I think this is one of the most crucial aspects in getting married. A lot of people believe they will drop certain habits/traits when they get married but that couldn't be further from the truth.
It's an Islamic obligation to constantly reflect and better ourselves, more so with the intent of getting married.
I've personally taken drastic measures and I'm reaping the rewards for doing so. Learning to be humble, patient - compromise in situations even though your way may be right.
We only have to look at the best example of mankind. Muhammed(saw) - this guy was unbelievable, ah where do I start. We must also be realistic when setting out to achieve a specific goal.
Doing a small deed often is better than a large irregular deed.

"When one is looking to get married, it's so easy to get lost into thoughts about what we want and what we do not."
yeah, that's a good point. It seems to me that we often like to demand things, or that we feel we are entitled to things that we don't even deserve. Like, if we're looking to get married to some great person who will be faithful, modest, and who follows moral rules very strictly, then we have to ask ourselves if we do the same thing. If we are not modest or moral people, then we don't deserve one either. You made a good point about consciously trying to become a better person in the next paragraph. We all have to examine ourselves and make sure we deserve a good, moral person by being one ourselves.
About valentine's day, i think a lot of couples have decided not to celebrate it, because of the huge expectations put on that day. like, people feel bad if someone else gets or gave a bigger bouquet of flowers or some other gifts. like, its almost like a competition or something. I think it would be better for people to decide not to celebrate valentine's day, and instead, spread out whatever they were going to do on that day to some other days.
I think it's also important to remember that being married isn't going to last forever. Like, in 60 or 70 years, we'll all probably be dead anyways, and then the marriage is over. Not saying its not important, but there are other things far more important, i guess.

Soulseek - Nice to have you posting again. Thanks for dropping by. And yes, patient, compromising, supportive, kind and one way to build these qualities is to practice it with people around us. These things don't come automatically. Each and everyone of us have to work on them. Some things are easier for some than others. As long we make the intention and put in the effort, we can make changes happen, inshaAllah.
y - I think one of the reason why people have so many expectations from Valentine's Day is because many couples don't pay attention to each other or show affection or that they care about each other everyday of their lives so the expectation increases on days like birthdays, anniversaries and valentine's where people try to make time for each other and do things to make each other feel special. Plus, businesses want to capitalize on this occasion so there are ads to push people into spending to show affection. Sure it's nice to get gifts and such but I don't think there would be a need to celebrate these days if we followed the examples of our Prophet (saw) and his wives (ra). Plus, sometimes simple things can make a person happier than buying gifts.

Assalaamu'alaikum ukhti.
As I mentioned in my reply to a sister in my blog that although it's true that we need to learn to be responsible before getting married, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive to get married as early as possible. A sickness creeping into some cultures is that you put full concentration in education first, get a good stable income, then only do you begin working on your character and piety in order to get married. To me that's going to cause a lot of corruption. In the early ages, not everyone is going to pass the test of controlling one's Nafs and put full concentration in education. Especially if they're not working towards piety and good akhlaq.
Love and relationship really does seem like a subject that one can never get bored about. Looking forward to your next posts, inshaAllah. :)

Walaikum as salaam,
Jazakallah khair bro for dropping by a comment. You've brought up an interesting topic but the only issues that people face are:
1. Parents who insist on their children completely education prior to marriage.
2. The brothers and sisters not feeling they are ready to get married, whether it is emotionally or mentally.
However, my post doesn't really talk of delaying marriage but just working on ourselves while we are looking for a prospective spouse. :)

I agree that focusing on being one's best self is a key to happiness and success in any endeavour, including simply living a better life single or married. Genuine shifts in one's outlook and behaviour usually bring dramatic changes in real relationships and opportunities. A friend who specializes in helping high level executives find new and better career positions believes a 20% change in oneself brings about an 80% change in desired results.

^ I heard that 20 - 80 rule recently! MashaAllah, what does it take to have a career like your friend? :P

A BSc in general science, lab tech positions, full time corporate wife, major depression-psychiatrist recommended work, used hub's connections, then after 20 years of marriage he very publicly has ANOTHER affair, divorce, need to work fulltime, and HUGE ability to SHMOOZE!
Stick to medicine.

Speaking of reflection I have recently realized (just 2 days ago in conversation) that I am attracted to so called "losers" (guys with no money, low education, not that great look) either its a way of making me feel good (kinda like what guys do buy marrying a girl who is less educated, les career than him) or because I figure they are less likely to hurt me because well "I am the best they can do". But then again things don't workout because there is a reason why everything in their life is a mess and I am no exception.
But I have found myself willing to give chance to guys who are less stable then guys who are already stable. Maybe it is because of all the rejection I have gone thru I am setting my sight lower & getting into different kind of rejection or maybe I am just crazy.
Isn't this what reflection is all about
- 22 December 2010 at 13:41
- single4now said...
Era - Well, yes, it's definitely a reflection but not exactly what I was trying to explain. It's common that we expect things from others but forget to improve ourselves.
As far as considering "losers" as you've called them, I would be very cautious. You've already realized that there's a reason why things in their life is a mess. Remember that the goal is not to achieve the status of being married but so that you can concentrate on the other half of your deen. Always give importance to their deen and character. Try to find someone who has your best interest at heart along with being a good Muslim and ask them to be present/monitor communcations that you have with any brothers so that you wont be at a loss in the end.

This achingly cool bar is housed in two converted shops, whose previous occupants include Scruffy Murphy's and O'Connells. A loungy room where sofas rest among potted palms sits to the right: on the left is a bustling bar area with quirky touches such as ghetto blasters strategically placed about the room and cymbals shading the lights over the bar counter.
The drinks offering also delivers. While seven wines by the glass and a line-up of popular tap lagers will not necessarily entice, this place is really about cocktails, which are brilliantly made. These contemporary concoctions, including a selection of Tiki drinks are based on super-premium spirits yet still priced to appeal to the trendy young crowd, which gives Villager its buzz.

Cliff Curtis: A Dark Horse
He's played terrorists, FBI agents and drug barons, but for all his macho posturing onscreen, there is a giddy enthusiasm about Cliff Curtis when he talks about his latest project, The Dark Horse. The term passion project seems fitting. Based and shot in his native New Zealand, Curtis plays Genesis Potini, a national folk hero who struggled with bipolar disorder while mentoring countless youngsters in his community using the game of chess. "It's a really exceptional story" Curtis says as we sit down to discuss the film, and it's hard to argue.
Taking a passing look at the plot – a brilliant yet troubled genius mentors a group of rag-tag youngsters to unlikely success – you would be forgiven for thinking you've heard the story many times before. Throw in the fact it's a biopic, as formulaic a genre as you can get, and you would think you're in very safe territory. Curtis is quick to point out that there is nothing safe about The Dark Horse; "what's unique about the story and the film is the circumstances [surrounding Genesis]. That he suffered from bipolar, he was at times homeless, and he had many many personal struggles he had to overcome in order to make this happen."
Tackling big life issues such as mental illness, homelessness, gang culture and estranged families, there was always a risk of diluting the message. Curtis credits writer/director James Napier Robertson for making it all work, "[he] is incredibly talented to weave those things together, and sort of avoid all the traps of that genre and create something really unique and authentic." He speaks fondly of his time working with Robertson and clearly had a huge amount of faith in his director, something that was needed when Robertson asked him to take a method approach to his performance. It was a new experience for Curtis; "I've played with aspects of [method acting] but I've never really done it. Because you can't. It's logistically, it's a nightmare. Because you need everybody to be in on it…everyones got to support this whole thing."
And while the role no doubt put a physical toll on him, he gained over 60lbs, the biggest struggle came in mastering the game that Genesis was best known for. "I played obsessively at chess, I'd never played chess before. I don't like board games. So, I played like 24 hours pretty much." Overcoming a dislike for strategy games aside, meeting the people who were most important to Genesis (who passed away in 2011) was another key factor in bringing the character to life; "I lived with his family and friends, they became, sort of, my surrogate family, they were on set every day… they were a part of the filmmaking process, and that's really how we made it."
This last comment is testament to the responsibility Curtis felt to make sure they did justice to Genesis, a man he speaks of almost in awe. "He had a stroke of genius really, not just with chess, but his ability to empathise and sort of connect with human beings, people fell in love with him." It's a quality Curtis brings to the role; his interpretation is fraught with neurosis and his struggles with bipolar are in no way sugar coated but there's a quiet charm to his Genesis. "He had this massive heart, he completely adored people. He made you a part of his world and a part of his family. It seemed – I spoke to a lot of people who knew him – and he changed peoples lives, he was just that kind of person."
As likeable a character as Genesis is inhabiting the role was unsurprisingly exhausting; "to be living on the edge of mania everyday. [It was] very very tough." Yet Curtis' dedication pays off in spades. From the opening scene, in which a distraught Genesis has a breakdown in an antiques shop, it's clear that the actor has immersed himself in the role and he portrays his inner turmoil with total commitment. Despite this respect for the character however, it was a project he was happy to leave behind; "It was a relief. I had to sort of, let that guy go. It was a relief to do it because it was a lot of hard work to be in that mental state for that long."
Curtis isn't the only one who shines in The Dark Horse, and he is more than willing to acknowledge the stellar performances of his fellow cast members. His enthusiasm for the talent of co-star James Rolleston, who plays Genesis' nephew Mana, is almost as strong as for the film itself; "he's a heartbreaker. Just naturally. Just as a human being, you just fall in love with the kid." Despite Genesis being the main focus, he is keen to stress the importance of Mana's character; "he is very much the heart of the story." Wayne Hapi is another standout, as Genesis' gang member brother Ariki. "He's a scene stealer. Like you know when you're watching this guy, this isn't acting, this is someone re-living their life on-screen for you." From a journeyman actor such as Curtis, it is high praise indeed for the newcomer. A former real life gang member, he brings real menace to the role. As Curtis points out, having that real life experience was essential to the naturalistic feel of the film; "It authenticates those relationships. So, you know, all of those elements made it real."
It's this naturalistic approach that separates The Dark Horse from other, softer titles in the inspirational mentor genre. While the film no doubt benefits from having former gangsters bring their experience to the film, the success of the project hinges on the young performers and the relationship Genesis forms with the Eastern Knights Chess Club. Thankfully these interactions are remarkable, the group are so comfortable with each other you would be forgiven for thinking you were watching a fly-on-the-wall documentary about life in a youth club. In reality they had to work hard to make it seem so effortless; "they spent a lot of time together you know? So lots of games, and getting them used to being together, so that when they're on screen it was like this continuous natural role. So when the camera was on or off they were just, you know, behaving naturally." The star clearly relished the energy his co-stars brought to the project; "They really steal your heart those kids."
While chess was the main tool Genesis used to reached these kids, he also formed a bond through telling stories of the Maori heritage he shared with the youngsters. It was through these stories that Curtis felt his strongest connection with the character; "I mixed up some of that stuff with my experiences in life, and I sort of brought that to the film as well, things that are part of our heritage and our stories, our mythology…[Genesis] mixed it up…and I do that as well…I found these bridges between him and me where I could relate."
The telling of these heritage stories is clearly a passion of Curtis. In 2004 he started Whenua Films in New Zealand, a production company committed to the telling of indigenous stories. There is a sense of duty behind his work; "if we don't tell them no-one else will basically. Or if they do tell them they'll be distortions of who we are… we need to learn to tell our own stories to ourselves and for ourselves." It's a point that he feels strongly about. Just as Genesis told the stories of his people to inspire the at-risk youth in The Dark Horse, Curtis, who served as executive producer on the film, is setting an example for filmmakers to embrace their national identity in their work. It is essential for nationalities and cultures to as Curtis puts it, "understand themselves and for us to understand [them] better. You need to develop your own voice in cinema". It is a message that motivates Curtis in his work. He's been to Hollywood, worked with some of the biggest names in cinema, but is still driven to return to his homeland to tell a story that honours an icon of his culture.

Caught up in the Hearthstone hype? While you're waiting for that beta key, you might want to check out Ubisoft's Might & Magic – Duel of Champions. The online TCG was released in March on PC/iPad and already has three expansions under its belt, including last week's release, Forgotten Wars.
While the basics of the game will be familiar to TCG veterans – you summon creatures and cast spells in the effort to reduce your opponent's hit points to zero – Duel of Champions offers a nice twist on the formula that helps it stand out from the crowd. Creatures are played on a 4×4 grid, and there are strict rules regarding where they can deploy and where they can attack, adding a tactical aspect to the game that makes it feel like a real battlefield.
The tutorial teaches you the game in nice, bite-sized steps, ramping you up from the basics all the way up to full games. This continues in the form of the campaign mode, which pits you in a series of duels of increasing difficulty against computer-controlled opponents. Along the way, you'll earn gold (in-game currency) and seals (cash-shop currency), with which you can improve your deck or buy new decks altogether.
At some point, though, the NPC opponent starts cheating, and cheating hard. "Deck construction rules? Nah, screw those, I'm going to put in as many of a card as I want. Oh, and I'll start with a creature in play, too." I understand the need to increase challenge, but I would have preferred to see it done with better decks than outright cheating.
Once you've honed your PvE skills, and maybe tweaked your deck, you can head into PvP matches, either against friends or random players. Ubisoft has what looks like an extensive tournament system in place, though most of this year's qualifiers have already come and gone. The finals will be in Paris during Paris Game Week Oct. 30 to Nov. 3.
A clash of good vs. evil
I'll admit I went into this review with a little trepidation; I've seen a lot of bad TCGs, and I was worried that this would resemble a typical, fly-by-night, make-a-quick-buck-on-the-craze effort, but I was pleasantly surprised by its professional appearance.
Truth be told, I like how Duel of Champions plays more than I do Hearthstone and other basic, "summon stuff, kill the opponent" TCGs. The battlefield is a nice addition, and there are plenty of abilities that take advantage of positioning in a way that most games can't. The interface is clean, attractive, and easy to navigate.
All those abilities are a lot for a new player to pick up on, though, and I found myself constantly having to right-click enlarge cards to remember what they did. With 16 cards, as well as decks, discard piles, and other UI elements, it's understandable that their basic view can't be as big as, say, Hearthstone's, but mouseover views or small icons for special abilities would speed up (my, at least) gameplay.
Still, that and the issue with the campaign I cited earlier are minor gripes. The most glaring issue with Duel of Champions comes where you would least expect it – in the deck builder. For some reason, Ubisoft decided that, in order to use a card in multiple decks, you had to "own" multiple copies of that card. In other words, if you have a rare you want to include in multiple decks, you'd have to take it out of the first deck and put it into the other.
I understand that this more accurately mimics how a "real" TCG works, but that's missing the entire point of bringing it online. No other online TCG that I can think of utilizes this system, and for a good reason: it's awful. I asked for opinions on my Facebook and the responses – some from people who have actually worked on online TCGs – ranged from "terrible" to "gross" to "blatant money grab."
I asked Ubisoft about this and they admitted that it was something they were looking to change, based on player feedback. Until they do, I'd still recommend the game – it is pretty fun – but can't suggest you get too heavily invested in it until this issue is addressed.
Loot drops
Speaking of investment… the smallest purchase is $5 for 250 seals, and the largest is $100 for 7,000. Decks cost 1,100 to 1,550 seals, which works out to a rather exorbitant $15.71 (cheapest method) to $31 (most expensive method) for a deck. You can also buy gold, at a rate of $5 for 25,000 up to $100 for 700,000, and deck prices via that method are a little more reasonable, working out to be as low as $8.93 for the basic starter decks you choose one of for free when you begin.
Pack prices are a little friendlier, with basic packs of 12 cards in the $2.50 to $3.50 range and Premium packs (offering better chances at rare cards) about a dollar more. You can also buy packs in bulk (a.k.a. "boxes") for a further discount.
You do get a free deck for starting, and you earn enough gold and seals along the way to buy more. I've got nearly enough to buy two more – one with seals, one with gold – through my few hours of gameplay. Still, when you do the math, it comes out looking crooked – doubly so when you realize that you'll have a tough time putting a new deck together without buying a preconstructed deck, thanks to the card restrictions on deckbuilding.
As I said earlier, Might & Magic – Duel of Champions is a fun game, and I could even come to grips with the cash shop by playing for free and using my accumulated wealth to buy the occasional deck or pack. Play for free, challenge friends, and have a good time with a well-designed, deeply strategic online TCG.
But the deckbuilding restrictions are a major downer for me. Playing around with decks or building new ones is the heart of the TCG experience, and unnecessarily hampering that in the name of "realism" is a bad way to go. I'd say DoC is worth checking out, but it's a tough to recommend it too highly until this issue is dealt with.

I love Card Games, but this one… It has such an uninteresting look to it, it feels unappealing, doesn't feel satisfatory and it is way too overcomplicated… It is a shame…
It has nothing to do with being a noob, idiot,you make no sense, its called Personal Opinion!
Yup. This is a not a good card game.
The Eredan fun factor is much-much better.
This game was really fun, the strategy plays a lot like rts mixed in to the tcg stuff. I love tcgs but sometimes i do wonder if there are any games that plays more like Cardfight Vanguard in real life, really want an online version of it or anything like it but duels of champions is good too i guess. Vanguard has the really cool trigger system and soul system that doesn't exist within any tcgs at all, online or real life.
ok so before i start off i will say that i havent tried hearthstone yet but i will get to it eventually.
ive been playing this game for a about a week now and i will say this,this game is pretty damn good.The reason why i say this is because it wasnt easy to learn the game,After i installed signed in and got to the last training quest (where they put you against a pretty tough ai ) i realised like im sure alot of other people did this game is gonna take some strategy to win. and with every deck in the game having its own unique play style aside from planning out what when to play a card like the ereview mentions under the GOOD VS EVIL section with the lane positioning.
earning gold does get grindy if you dont tweak your deck.BUT to piggy back off of an earlier post the game is generous when it comes to earning addition gold and seals.Your main gold income is going to be multiplayer matches but theres is another f2p alternative to acquire more cards and extras in a faster time .this is done through the achievement system in the game.Achievement rewards varies from gold or seals to single cards and card packs.to banners that show in battle
there are 2 quest lines aside from the multiplayer 1 that is already unlocked and that you could do whenever ( but i personally recommend starting it after you completed the training to save yourself some frustration) the second quest line is unlocked at level 5 i believe.but those are the only 2 i see that are there.
LASTLY!!!! this is no lastly but i will say that i wasnt into the mnm series before hand so wouldnt know about the lore and stuff but what i do know is that i really eenjoy playing this game and if your interested then give it a try
I started playing this a couple weeks ago, and it's not bad, i think it's kind of gotten ignored because all the hype about hearthstone, but the game is pretty good, if You're a fan of the genre or just curious about CCG you should check it out
First Look, Michel ?
I mean Michael. Unintentionally made a French garçon of you
Cant wait for HEX to come out tho
While I'm neither hardcore TCG player, nor fan of U as publisher, still decided to take a look. I found that positioning bring tactical depth and more choices to start with. It adds TBS feel to traditional card game. Strategy fans may enjoy it.
by far better than hearthstone,f2p game i have all collection without spending any money!
many tournaments,and most important really pro players u will encounters (and i thought i was good)
depth strategies and gameplay,AWESOME artwork,at the bad side it has some minor bugs that is
totally understood.Not recomending this to noobs and brainless players!Also to obtain cards
some1 must be patient u cant have the whole collection by the first week!
I didn't like it on ipad.
is this playable on mac?
no thereare no plans for a mac version right now
I have no sound in game. Anyone have simillar problem that could help me to fix this?
as a fan of ccg/tcg, i do recommend this game. there's no rule about playing mmdoc and hs at the same time.
i am level 50+ on mmdoc and am completely free player. i found the reward system to be more then generous as i've obtained many legendary cards to make meta game decks.
for new players it is tough though to get used to the combat system and deck building. once you get enough cards and rank up higher you will see how different decks shine and can even make your own (i've had a few experiences where i make up a deck and then get 20+ win streaks and win tournaments, i never carbon copy so it throws people off).
anyway i've stopped playing it though since i've been playing hearthstone. hs just has a bigger base and potential for serious tournaments in the US (unlike mmdoc, which only holds stuff in the uk or germany)
hey why u have so much gold and seals? omg
This game is fun but it lacks a great deal of depth. I don't even know why they call it Might and "Magic" because you rarely use magic spells most of the fights you are going to be summoning small cost creatures until you get the resources to summon your heavy hitters and the first one to assume control over the board is pretty much the winner. I level to like 9 or something and only had, maybe, 4 matches where we used spell like, or fortune, cards, and most of them were bring target creature out of graveyard cards. The game can be fun when you save up $$ to buy packs and start collecting stronger creatures but early on your probably going to get hammered by other people who spent real money to buy all their cards. I finally got a balanced necro deck that does very well and hit 600 ranking. I honestly don't believe this game has more depth than Magic or even Hearthstone for that matter, and no I'm not saying that because I'm a WoW fanboy. I find WoW to be extremely boring now a days, but Hearthstone does at least have spells that are worthwhile to have in your deck so that it isn't all about creature spamming. Also this game lacks any kind of trading, which sucks, so if you have 50 creature cards you do not want you can sacrifice them for barely half of what you probably spent to get them and a chance at winning some other card you probably don't want either. Bottom line, if you want a good CCG that's not Hearthstone and doesn't require the money drop like Magic the Gathering then this is by far the best, and probably only, thing on the market.
its called might and magic because its in the might and magic world
and i use alot of magic cards in the game it just depends on your deck
Funny you say it has no depth when you havent even passed 600 elo, the difference between 600 and 1500 (or even +1000). In low elo you can get away with many shitty moves, but in higher elos you actually have to plan a strat and plan combos for your deck.
You say this game can be barely considered "magic" when currently one of the best decks is based on 0 creatures and use a strat called "slowpoke" which is to try and clear the board while drawing cards and dealing damage with fortune cards.
totally agree with smartass i am 1500+ elo and lvl 229…Propably Sylentscript is a noob at low elo where u play only creatures and few common spells…At high lvl gameplay u have to think so much before u make ur move that the 2 minutes u have per turn seems like 2 seconds!
one of the best games of this sort though hearthstone looks awesome as well
people complain about the deckbuilder allot on the forms I doubt its gonna be taken seriously though since ubisoft wants this game too be more profitable I guess, by forcing people too buy the same cards over and over again
This game is way better than Hearthstone. Hearthstone is popular due to its link to WoW and Blizzard that's all. This game deserves more than HS.
Hearthstone is more popular because the game has way more graphical polishment, detail, and animations, so for it pleases a wider range of people, including hardcore,casual, family people.
Might and magic is more for a small "really-fans-of-m&m" and "while-no-HS-openbeta"
Either way, this one seems to have more depth in terms of tactics… but again, Hearthstone wins on the simplicity and eye-candyness.
it's a CCG not a TCG
Old habits die hard. When I was at Scrye, we referred to everything as a TCG.

Red, Wine and Food reports on the continued fight to get wine in grocery stores:
"In its meeting on Tuesday, the Senate Finance, Ways and Means Committee created a subcommittee to get all interested parties together to discuss possible amendments to the wine in retail food stores referendum bill.
"Showing a desire to continue the bill's momentum in the Senate, the subcommittee held this meeting earlier today. Representatives from the Tennessee Grocers & Convenience Store Association, Tennessee Wine & Spirits Retailers Association, Tennessee Malt Beverage Association, Tennessee Fuel & Convenience Store Association, and other interested parties attended to discuss their opinions with this group of legislators.
"Amendments were brought up on such issues as delaying the ability for retail food stores to obtain licenses until 2016 in those municipalities that passed the referendum, the ability for liquor stores to sell other items and allowing high-gravity beer to be part of the bill as well as wine.
"We are glad to see continued movement in the Senate, as we still see this as good legislation that can be made comprehensive for all sides.
"Also, thanks to all of you for your support, especially these past few days. We share your extreme disappointment with the House Local Government Committee's voting against the bill.
"There is always the possibility that a committee can reconsider a bill it has voted down. We are hoping this option will be discussed by the House Local Government Committee, considering the circumstances of the vote and the slim margin.
"With that in mind, please always remember to be respectful and professional when contacting your legislators. Showing a positive image is the best way to garner their support."

Accelerating Private-Key Cryptography via Multithreading on Symmetric Multiprocessors
T. N. Vijaykumar - Electrical and Computer Engineering
Dec 05, 2001
AbstractAchieving high performance in cryptographic processing is important due to the increasing connectivity among today's computers. Despite steady improvements in microprocessor and system performance, private-key cipher implementations continue to be slow. Irrespective of the cipher used, the main reason for the low performance is lack of parallelism, which fundamentally comes from encryption modes such as the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode. In CBC, each plaintext block is XOR'ed with the previous ciphertext block and then encrypted, essentially inducing a tight recurrence through the ciphertext blocks. To deliver high performance while maintaining high level of security assurance in real systems, the cryptography community has proposed Interleaved Cipher Block Chaining (ICBC) mode.
In four-way interleaved chaining, the first, fifth, and every fourth block thereafter are encrypted in CBC mode; the second, sixth, and every fourth block thereafter are encrypted as another stream, and so on. Thus, interleaved chaining loosens the recurrence imposed by CBC, enabling the multiple encryption streams to be overlapped. The number of interleaved chains can be chosen to balance performance and adequate chaining to get good data diffusion. While ICBC was originally proposed to improve hardware encryption rates by employing multiple encryption chips in parallel, this is the first paper to evaluate ICBC via multithreading commonly-used ciphers on a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP). Multithreading ciphers using ICBC allows exploiting the full processing power of SMPs, which spend many cycles in cryptographic processing, deployed as medium-scale servers. Using the Wisconsin Wind Tunnel II, we show that our multithreaded ciphers achieve encryption rates of 215 Mbytes/s on a 16-1GHz-processor SMP, reaching a factor of almost 10 improvement over a uniprocessor, which achieves 22 Mbytes/s.

One of the major civil rights issues of our time is the incarceration of disproportionate numbers of Black and Latino men. While they make up less than one-third of the total male population in the United States, they account for more than 60% of the two million men populating America's prisons. Since his election as Dallas District Attorney in 2008, Craig Watkins has overturned more than 30 wrongful convictions in Texas prisons.
Justice for All is the title I imagine would be given to a biography about Watkins, as the man spends his life fighting to ensure that innocent people are not imprisoned. For the cover of the book, I created a portrait of Watkins in scratchboard. Through the process of scratching away light from the dark expanse of the board, I wanted to convey the hope that Watkins is helping bring to the disadvantaged, the light that can be seen though prison bars.

Maruti Suzuki expects 15,000 car sales on Dhanteras
Buoyed by new product launches, country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) expects its single day sales today on Dhanteras, considered auspicious for buying new products and precious metals, to be around 15,000 units – 30 per cent jump from last year. The car market leader had retailed around 11,500 units in on Dhanteras last year.
"Dhanteras is going fine for us. Last year we retailed around 11,500 units in a single day and this time around we expect to sell around 14,000-15,000 units in a single day today," MSI, Executive Director, Sales and Marketing, Rs. Kalsi told PTI. Factors like low interest rates and cheaper fuel prices have led to a positive sentiment in the market, he added. Besides, MSI's focus on launching new products, model refreshes and limited editions of various models have also led to an enhanced interest among the customers, he added.
"We have witnessed over 56,000 footfalls for Baleno in the last 10 days and have already received 21,000 bookings for the premium hatchback," Kalsi said. Besides, the launches of Ertiga and Ciaz with smart hybrid system and limited edition of Swift have also helped in generating momentum in sales for the company, he added.

For the fine juicing results and rich flavored juices Glen Introduces Slow Juicer, this extracts juice from pulp to the best. Glen Slow Juicer operates via cold press method to produce a superior juice in comparison to normal juicers.

Glen Slow Juicer operates at lower speeds keeping heat generation to a minimum. This not only produces a superior tasting juice with minimal foam and separation, with maximum retention of beneficial enzymes and nutrients.
Nutritional tests* (between a cold press and centrifugal juicer) revealed that Slow Juicers extract up to 42% more vitamin C, up to 60% more vitamin A and yield between 35 – 50% more juice.Test results from Michelson Laboratories,Inc., Korean Food Research Institute (KRFI), and internal labs Why Glen Slow Juicer is an Ideal Juicer?

- Easy to clean, just run water after preparation, wipe dry and it is ready to be used again.
- Low noise!
Easy to Clean
This is because slow juicers produce a much dryer pulp than normal juicers, meaning that the highest possible amount of nutrients is extracted and there is less overall waste. Automatic pulp removal through a separate outlet allows continuous juicing. For juicing different fruits or veggies just pour water through the feed tube to rinse clean & continue juicing, without carrying over the flavor! Easy, convenient and hassle-free.

Music Mondays: "Giants" by Bear Hands
So new there isn't even an official video yet! I think what initially attracted me to this song by Bear Hands is the fact that every time I say "I love you" to The Boyfriend, he responds with "I love you more." This song is a nice upbeat reminder of that.

Coller Investment Management has held a final close on Coller International Partners V, a private equity secondary vehicle, with investor commitments of $4.5 billion. The fund, which is already one-quarter invested, was originally capped at $3.75 billion but investor interest persuaded the firm to increase it. Some 41% of the fund's committed capital comes from North America, 34% from Europe, and 25% from Asia and the Middle East.
Like its four predecessor funds, CIP V's mandate is to invest in established p.e. funds and privately held companies. It will make investments ranging from $1 million to $1 billion or more.
"The record size of CIP V is a testament to the value of the secondaries market as a whole," Jeremy Coller, Coller Capital's chief executive officer, said. "By providing liquidity to a previously illiquid asset class, secondaries have significantly increased private equity's attractiveness to institutional investors."
