The weather is mild in the summer with temperatures ranging from the upper 40s to the mid 70s. We recommend dressing in layers and encourage guests to bring raingear and comfortable waterproof footwear. 10 miles or 10 minutes can bring about a totally different weather pattern. Don't forget your camera and sunscreen too! Everything else you need is at your disposal at the lodge, including bank fishing gear and tackle. We have a growing collection of assorted sizes of hip waders and rubber boots for those who want to get up close and personal with the river.
What amenities will I find at the lodge?
Our river front cabins are very new and offer many modern conveniences. Each cabin has a full, well equipped kitchen, satellite TV, and a modern bathroom(s). You have access to the outdoor kitchen, grills, coin-op laundry and wireless internet. Our riverbank walkways offer a comfortable place from which to bank fish using our gear and tackle. We have a fully equipped office at your disposal for your corporate retreat.
If so what do they cost?
Persons 16 and over must have a fishing license. A 1 day license costs $20.00 and if you fish for King salmon you'll also need a $10.00 king stamp. If you are under 16 you have to have a free harvest record card. We have licensed for sale here at Marlows on the Kenai or you can purchase them online at http://www.admin.adfg.state.ak.us/license It can take more than 2 weeks for the license to arrive, most gas stations and most stores sell the licenses here.
What can I do when I'm not Fishing?
The Kenai Peninsula is known as Alaska's Playground. Birding, photography, wildlife viewing, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, horseback riding, dog sledding on a glacier, shopping, berry picking…. You name it; we can set you up with it!
Soldotna and Seward both have full grocery store options. Anchorage has a Sam's Club and Costco if you would like to shop on your way down. There are many gift shops and art galleries on both sides of the peninsula.
Restaurants are plentiful on both sides of the Peninsula. In Seward you can walk to local restaurants and bars, and in Soldotna and Kenai there are even more dining options within a 30 minute drive. Don't forget you have a full, well equipped kitchen in your cabin as well as the outdoor kitchen at your disposal. Nothing tastes better than a freshly grilled sockeye you just caught yourself! If you prefer, we also offer a meal option (all breakfasts, lunches and dinners) for our lodge guests.
What kind of boat will I be on?
We use a 20' Willie Predator riverboat with 4- stroke Yamaha outboard for most of our fishing here on the Kenai River. We also have a 20 foot Willie Drift boat. They both seat 4 fisherpersons and all boats have deluxe seats with back and arm rests. Our Offshore-Saltwater boats vary depending on the number in your party and your specific wishes. Small boat tours are limited to 16 passengers. The longer range trips are on larger boats with up to 50 passengers.

'Tis the season for curling up on the couch with a hot beverage. This Almond Hot Chocolate is one of my favorite hot chocolate recipes for chilly evenings.
This Almond Hot Chocolate is one of the tastiest but easiest white hot chocolate recipes for a chilly evening. Made with only a few ingredients, it's a simple hot chocolate recipe that's full of flavor.
As you may have noticed, I've been on a roll lately trying out different hot chocolate recipes. As the evenings get cooler, I'm finding more and more reasons to curl up on the couch with a hot beverage.
I finally perfected my White Hot Chocolate recipe so I decided to take it up a notch. What could I add to my favorite hot chocolate recipes to make them even better? I started thinking about my favorite flavor combinations and came up with an idea – white hot chocolate with almond flavoring!
This Almond Hot Chocolate recipe was born and has been made regularly in my house ever since.
This hot chocolate recipe is made with white hot chocolate, not traditional homemade hot chocolate. What's the difference between white chocolate and regular chocolate? White chocolate technically isn't chocolate at all!
Personally, I prefer white chocolate to milk or dark chocolate in my hot chocolate recipes because the taste is sweet and smooth but not as strong as traditional chocolate. I find it's much more adaptive to any other ingredients I might add.
So how did I turn my White Hot Chocolate into Almond Hot Chocolate? I simply added almond extract to my white hot chocolate recipe. If you don't add any toppings, you only need 3 ingredients to make this delicious drink!
As with my other hot chocolate recipes, I like to serve Almond Hot Chocolate with my homemade hot chocolate stir sticks.
Almond Hot Chocolate is one of the most delicious white hot chocolate recipes to enjoy on a chilly night. Perfect for serving guests at parties too!
Heat milk in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat.
Reduce to low heat and add white chocolate chips and almond extract, stirring until completely melted.
Remove from heat and ladle into cups.
Garnish with toppings of choice and hot chocolate stir sticks.
yum! NOw how have i never thought to add almond extract to hot chocolate?
I've never thought to put almond in hot chocolate. I bet it's delicious.
Oh my goodness! I have to make this asap! Looks so good!
This hot chocolate has my mouth watering! perfect time of year for a mug of this – delicious.
I am such a hot chocolate lover! This will take my HC game up a notch!

Q: XPATH to copy node value from preceding element I was hoping to get help on the XPATH I'm trying to create.
I have the following file structure in XML:
<Request>
    <RequestArea>
        <SourceText>**Text 1**</SourceText>
    </RequestArea>
    <ResponseArea>
        <TargetText></TargetText>
    </ResponseArea>
</Request>
<Request>
    <RequestArea>
        <SourceText>**Text 2**</SourceText>
    </RequestArea>
    <ResponseArea>
        <TargetText></TargetText>
    </ResponseArea>
</Request>

I need to copy value of SourceText node and paste it into following TargetText node.
So, the resulting XML file would be this:
<Request>
    <RequestArea>
        <SourceText>**Text 1**</SourceText>
    </RequestArea>
    <ResponseArea>
        <TargetText>**Text 1**</TargetText>
    </ResponseArea>
</Request>
<Request>
    <RequestArea>
        <SourceText>**Text 2**</SourceText>
    </RequestArea>
    <ResponseArea>
        <TargetText>**Text 2**</TargetText>
    </ResponseArea>
</Request>

I have the following XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="TargetText">
    <ResponseText>
        <xsl:value-of select="preceding::SourceText"/>
    </ResponseText>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

But the XSL engine (MSXSL) copies Text 1 value into both subsequent TargetText nodes instead of using each following SourceText value as a source for the content that gets copied:
<Request>
    <RequestArea>
        <SourceText>**Text 1**</SourceText>
    </RequestArea>
    <ResponseArea>
        <TargetText>**Text 1**</TargetText>
    </ResponseArea>
</Request>
<Request>
    <RequestArea>
        <SourceText>**Text 2**</SourceText>
    </RequestArea>
    <ResponseArea>
        <TargetText>**Text 1**</TargetText>
    </ResponseArea>
</Request>

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!

A: Just replace the second template in your XSLT with
<xsl:template match="ResponseArea/TargetText">
    <ResponseText>
        <xsl:value-of select="../../RequestArea/SourceText"/>
    </ResponseText>
</xsl:template>

If you need the element to be named TargetText like in your desired example output instead of ResponseText, just change it.
The output of the above code is:
<Request>
    <RequestArea>
        <SourceText>**Text 1**</SourceText>
    </RequestArea>
    <ResponseArea>
        <ResponseText>**Text 1**</ResponseText>
    </ResponseArea>
</Request>
<Request>
    <RequestArea>
        <SourceText>**Text 2**</SourceText>
    </RequestArea>
    <ResponseArea>
        <ResponseText>**Text 2**</ResponseText>
    </ResponseArea>
</Request>

After Fire Destroys Portage Park Family's Home Of 20 Years, Neighbors Help Them Get Back On Their Feet
The Baca family lost all of their belongings, and two beloved pets, in the fire. Neighbors are donating food, clothes and cash to help them find a new place to live.
Ariel Parrella-Aureli
7:41 AM CST on Jan 25, 2022
The Baca family, who lived in the second and third floors of s Portage Park house for 20 years, lost all of their belongings in a house fire.
PORTAGE PARK — Northwest Side neighbors are stepping up to support a family after they lost everything in a fire last week.
On Jan. 19, firefighters responded to a blaze at 4628 W. Warwick Ave., fire officials said. The fire started due to an electrical problem and the family's cat and dog were killed.
The Baca family, who lived on the second and third floors for 20 years, lost all of their belongings and have been staying with nearby relatives, said Adriana Baca, who grew up in the home but moved out a year ago.
There is water damage on the first floor and in the basement, and mold throughout the building, she said.
The house's basement was badly damaged froom the water and destroyed all the items family members kept in storage.
Baca's parents and five siblings lived on the second floor with three cats and a dog. Her uncle's family of four lived upstairs with one cat, she said. Another family lived on the first floor but she has been unable to reach them.
She organized a fundraiser to help with temporary housing and pay for essentials like bedding, kitchen and bathroom items as her family gets back on track. In less than a week, the community has raised more than $47,000.
Neighbors have also dropped off clothes, shoes and winter items for the family, who ran out of their home with just the clothes on their backs, Baca said.
"They are extremely grateful," Baca said of the outpouring of support. "My parents at first were shocked because they thought they were alone … But we are completely in awe of the community. Even yesterday, someone dropped off clean clothes. That is what is keeping my family positive."
Money raised from the fundraiser will also go toward buying a home for both families, since it's been difficult to find a place to rent for both of them. Money will help buy appliances and furnishings for their new home.
The family has received enough clothes but still needs boots, shoes, towels and blankets. They're also asking for a laptop for one of Baca's siblings, who is taking online college classes. Both family computers were destroyed in the fire.
If neighbors would like to donate items, they can contact Baca via Facebook.
She said the loss of her dog Gigi and cat Bella was devastating but Lola, the third cat, is at home recovering. Nico, the family's other cat, also was not hurt.
Portage Park community activist and 911 dispatcher Keith Thornton, Jr. donated to the family and helped boost the fundraiser.
He said seeing the amount of support the Baca family has received brings a sense of hope and is a reminder of the power of uplifting neighbors, especially during challenging times.
"I help people on their worst days — that's my job, my profession, my calling … it's something I can't turn off," Thornton said. "When I am off duty and things happen in my neighborhood, I help. It's all about helping people. It brings a smile on my face to see Northwest Siders stepping up to help."
The Baca family initially only asked for about $20,000, but Thornton urged them to seek more to cover the cost of replacing everything. He said he was confident the community could pull together and raise $100,000.
Baca said he was right — she's been making Target runs to buy bedding, blankets and other essentials for her family and the bill was higher than expected. She called Thornton an angel and said it's uplifting to see her neighbors' compassion.
"We can't get tired of saying thank you," she said. "This tragedy was insane, it happened out of nowhere but we are extremely grateful … we keep thanking people because one thank you is not enough."
You can donate to the fundraiser here. The family living on the building's first floor was also displaced by the blaze. You can donate to them here.

Thanks Belinda, your advocacy is amazing in support of parents and this article should leave no doubts for people. I long for a time where parents have clear cut identification, assessment and evidence based intervention processes as a minimum standard. A system that supports dyslexic children, their families and their schools to achieve the best possible outcome for our children – let the fight be over!
Excellent post Belinda! Most of families that I have been involved in supporting over the last 3 or 4 years, have been down this 'vision' path in a desperate attempt to help their children. Most on the advice of teachers. Slowly slowly things are changing. I can say from my personal experience, so much of this is down to your hard work and determination. I have sent hundreds of families your fact sheets. Your support groups have helped me broaden my own understanding of all the issues. THANK YOU!
I have been shot down too as though I am hurting their feelings by passing on these posts. I've had to respond by saying, "I'm a teacher and not a scientist, but the ophthalmologists are scientists and their research does not support Irlen". I was very calm in my response but I had to leave the post as too many people were pledging their allegiance and I lost hope of getting through to anyone.

I earned my degrees in Archaeology at Cambridge, with an emphasis on European and (at doctoral level) Greek prehistory. I was Research Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, before joining the Sheffield department as lecturer in 1984.
I have participated in archaeological fieldwork projects in Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Bulgaria and Britain and in ethnoarchaeological projects in Greece, France and Spain. During doctoral research in Greece, I was also singer in a band performing traditional Greek music (δημοτικά and ρεμπέτικα) and, ever the optimist, I support Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
My research has focussed chronologically and geographically on the later prehistory (Neolithic and Bronze Age) of Greece, thematically on the relationship between farming economies and social change, and methodologically on the contributions of zooarchaeology and ethnoarchaeology to the study of past animal and crop husbandry.
The multi-period Neolithic site of Paliambela-Kolindrou is being investigated in collaboration with Prof Kostas Kotsakis of the Aristotle University, Thessaloniki. Excavation has uncovered, inter alia, one of the earliest, securely dated Early Neolithic settlement horizons in Greece and Europe.
Comparative analysis of a series of faunal assemblages from both north and south Greece, in collaboration with Dr Valasia Isaakidou and Dr Vasiliki Tzevelekidi, is revealing some apparently consistent and striking contrasts in patterns of carcass treatment and animal consumption between the earlier (7th-6th millennium BC) and later (6th-4th millennium BC) Neolithic.
Dr Valasia Isaakidou and I have been studying faunal remains from the Late Bronze Age 'Palace of Nestor', as part of a larger project (directed by Dr Sharon Stocker and Prof Jack Davis of the University of Cincinnati) to complete study and publication of Carl Blegen's excavations at this site. Evidence for burnt sacrifice of cattle and deer bears striking similarity to later classical Greek ritual practice and to Homeric descriptions. Analysis of the bulk of the assemblage, resulting from more routine consumption and discard, will enable systematic comparison of the faunal and textual (Linear B) records of animal exploitation.
During fieldwork in the Mediterranean, I have observed (and ineptly participated in) many aspects of non-mechanised animal, crop and woodland management. With various colleagues, I have explored the material correlates and decision-making contexts of such practices as cereal irrigation, manuring and weeding of crops, training of draught cattle, milking of domestic ruminants, and leafy hay production. More generally, I am interested in the interplay between 'practical' and 'cultural' reasoning in farmers' decision-making, and in the potential and pitfalls of applying lessons from the recent past to study of the distant past.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained heart rhythm disturbance (arrhythmia). People with AF are three to five times more likely to suffer a devastating, debilitating, disabling and often fatal stroke than people without AF. AF-related strokes cause unacceptably high levels of death and disability, and the scale of the problem across Europe is increasing as our populations age.
The number of people with AF is increasing and, by 2060, it is estimated that nearly 18 million adults over the age of 55 will have AF. Yet with early detection, access to appropriate therapies and ongoing care and support, many AF‑related strokes can be prevented. Appropriate stroke-prevention therapies have been shown to save lives and prevent disability in people with AF, and reduce AF-related hospital admissions, length of stay, outpatient visits and healthcare costs.
Preventing stroke offers policymakers huge potential to improve patient outcomes and help build more sustainable healthcare systems. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are currently a major focus at the European level, with increasing attention being given to stroke. Recent developments include a European Union Joint Action on chronic diseases, a World Health Organization (WHO) European Region action plan for NCDs and the recently published Stroke Action Plan for Europe. This has created a new opportunity to advance AF-related stroke prevention at all levels - the key question is if we will seize it.
AF – and the link between AF and stroke – has so far been absent from many of these high level discussions. Meanwhile, consistent gaps and inequalities persist, including in rate of detection, access and uptake of first-line therapies and ongoing care for the prevention of AF-related stroke. An evidence-based consensus on the current state of play, and an analysis of leading implementation models and key system barriers and opportunities faced by decision-makers is therefore a vital contribution.
This White Paper is the culmination of a consultative and consensus-driven process. It begins by placing AF and AF-related stroke within the policy context, then focuses on four areas that are recognised by experts as critical to driving meaningful change for patients. In each of these areas, recommendations are made for how AF can be prioritised to improve outcomes for patients and maximise benefits for the wider healthcare system.

Are you looking for a proven way to lose weight, have more energy and look and feel your best?
Paleo Restart is not just another diet book, but a complete system that conforms to the way humans have traditionally eaten, long before the advent of processed foods.
Think how much better you'd feel about your life if you could lose weight, not by following some fad diet where you have to starve yourself, but by eating foods that are wholesome and even delicious. Paleo Restart is a program that can help you do this.
There are many diet books and programs on the market. Before reviewing this type of program, I am careful to thoroughly vet it and the creator/author to make sure it's providing solid advice based on actual research.
The purpose of this review is to determine if Paleo Restart really provides a reliable way to lose weight, become healthier and gain more energy with a safe, healthy and proven system.
Paleo Restart is a 30 day program that provides you with a comprehensive collection of Paleo recipes, as well as guidance and tips to help you lose weight and stick with the diet.
There are many aspects to succeeding with a diet. Knowing ingredients and calories is only part of it. You also have to be able to understand why certain foods are good for weight loss, while others work against you. Paleo Restart helps with motivation, shopping, preparing meals and keeping track of your progress.
The program was created by Sebastien Noel, a man who had a variety of health problems as a child. In addition to having many allergies, he suffered from migraine headaches, IBS (Irritable Bowel Sydrome) and leaky gut symptoms. This gave him the motivation to do research into topics such as health, nutrition and diet. In the Paleo diet, he discovered an ancient and natural way of eating that sustained humanity for many thousands of years.
The Paleo diet has been popular for some time now. However, for many people the challenge is to find the right foods and recipes that allow them to eat in a healthy manner week after week. That's why Sebastien Noel created Paleo Restart -a complete 30 day program that takes the uncertainty and guesswork out of the Paleo diet. With this program, you are given all of the tools you need to understand and implement this healthy diet so you can accomplish your health and weight loss goals.
The foundation of Paleo Restart is a 136 page Paleo cookbook that has a variety of simple, practical, nutritious and tasty recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. These recipes can serve as the cornerstone of a transition to a Paleo diet. There are healthy versions of old classics, such as BLT, tuna salad, ground beef tacos and steak. There are also plenty of more exotic recipes that include nutritious ingredients such as coconut, okra, nori and pumpkin. Since there are a good selection of creative recipes for each meal, as well as snacks, you will never be at a loss when it comes to cooking healthy Paleo meals.
In addition to the cookbook, Paleo Restart also includes a lifetime membership where you can find support, advice and motivational tools. You will be able to log in to your personal dashboard, where you can access features such as a Daily Meal Plan and a Journal.
In addition to advice on diet, there are also tips on exercise and lifestyle, as well as a Badges and Points system to help you keep track of your progress. While Paleo Restart is technically a 30 day program, you can repeat it as often as you want. The first 30 days is a good start and helps you get acclimated to this new way of eating. However, you can enjoy much longer term benefits if you repeat it on a regular basis. Once you join, you will be able to use the information as often as you wish.
Now, let's look at the major pros and cons of Paleo Restart. The following are what I see as the program's main strengths.
Cookbook is very thorough and diverse.
Provides good tips and guidance to help you stick with the diet.
Diet is healthy but not hard to follow. You can still eat many delicious and popular foods, such as meat, fish and healthy fats.
Special meal plans are given for people with certain food intolerances. So, for example, if you can't eat eggs, nuts or vegetables in the nightshade family, you will still be able to follow the diet.
Program is designed to work for individuals or for families of up to four people. This is a good way for whole families to improve their eating habits. It can also aid males that want to increase their strength.
Dashboard and content can be accessed on any digital device: computers, smartphones, tablets.
As far as weaknesses go, I would say that there isn't too much background information, either in the sales page for the program or in the program itself, regarding the benefits of the Paleo diet. Because Sebastien Noel, the program creator, has been working with this diet for so long, he simply assumes that everyone knows why the Paleo diet is good. However, if you're looking for a thorough explanation of exactly what the Paleo diet is and why it's healthy, you will have to do a little background research. This isn't hard to find, of course.
The only other possible drawback to the program is that, like any self-study course, it takes a certain amount of discipline and determination to follow it. While the recipes and dashboard make it simple to implement the advice, you still have to make some effort. If you are accustomed to eating lots of junk food and sweets, for example, you will have to make some real changes in your shopping and diet.
Paleo Restart is a different kind of diet and nutrition program. While it should not be seen as an instant, magical solution to perfect health or weight loss, it provides you with all of the tools and resources you need to take charge of your health.
Most diets are only concerned with helping you to lose weight. Some are more effective in this than others. However, simply cutting calories and losing weight isn't necessarily healthy. Many people are able to lose weight short term, only to gain it back in a few months. This is usually because many diets force you to deprive your body of essential nutrients. Eventually, you will have to make up the deficit.
Paleo Restart provides you with a diet that is based on humanity's earliest way of eating, prior to the age of processed food and industrial agriculture. "Primitive" people had to be very active in order to survive. A modern version of this traditional way of eating is not only good for losing weight, but also for helping you improve your health overall. Since you will be eating wholesome, protein-rich foods and vegetables, you will not have to walk around feeling hungry all day, which is the case with many diets.
Paleo Restart is very reasonable compared to most diet programs, especially considering that you get a lifetime membership to the resources. This is more than just a diet book, as it allows you to become part of a community that supports you in pursuing your goals.
This can help you make the transition to a healthier way of life, whether your goal is weight loss, getting rid of certain health problems or having more energy. The program also comes with a complete 60 day money back guarantee. This gives you plenty of time to try out the 30 day program and decide if you feel you got your money's worth. For this reason alone, you have nothing to lose by trying Paleo Restart. I recommend this program to anyone who is seeking a healthy and natural diet and way of life.
Tomorrow I complete my first week with Paleo Restart. And I am very happy. I have been interested in paleo and finding recipes etc on the web to cook for the last month but I wasn't losing weight and it was rather hit and miss. I was also cooking paleo mainly for myself.
With the Restart program it has given me a week at a time with a full menu and shopping list. So it becomes a no brainier. Follow the shopping list and the fridge is full of healthy veg and produce.
I love that the recipes are easy to make and that I'm cooking for my family who are really enjoying the meals. My family includes my teenage son who is extremely tall and skinny and always hungry loves these meals and comments how he is full. Hallelujah !!
I like the advice that comes up and I think the information about paleo is there it just comes in bite sizes and offers more buttons if you want to read any further.
What I would like would be a question /answer service. Also a substitution list for ingredients. I don't live in the States – I'm really not going to find turkey near where I live.
But I'm not hungry, feeling confident I will lose the weight with this program combined with my exercise regime. I definitely recommend it.

why use * when you can use ★?
It's going to take me a while to catch up, but I'll get there in the next hour or so. I'm implementing the rankings, because I really like the idea.
I'm going to ask this one time and one time only: with rankings we open the door for people to troll/argue with each other. PM me if you think someone is totally full of BS or spamming crap decks, and we may address the issue, but I doubt it, because everyone has their own opinions and their own METAs that they play in. Let people think of themselves what they think of themselves. Or police them in the deck list threads themselves. But please, don't do it in here, you'd be doing me a favor if nothing else.
I want this list to be mostly good/great decks, but I don't want to stifle people's creativity either.
edit: and Deckbuilders, please try to be realistic - people won't want to challenge you, if you are honest about the decks themselves.
I'd say, the only build that's good enough is my good old Selesnya ramp deck.
The Necromancer *** Powerful recursion deck with a subtheme of Spider Spawning and Lifegain.
The Reanimator ** Recursion deck with an emphasis on abusing Orge Battledriver with a subtheme of Spider Spawning.
The Undertaker * A recursion deck that is simply fun to play. Combines elements of The Necromancer and The Reanimator.

Not really, I'd take one, and leave the other for someone else. If there are two formats, you can go ahead and bet money, I'll be playing legacy. Or for example no-restrictions. Or whatever. Expect me in the power decks category.
Oh, Xbox One, sn is The Lockhammer.
So I think I've got the framework built the way I'd do it. Does anyone have any suggestions, or requests? Are we all good with the way it's set up for now?
Btw, I'm thinking of test driving the tri-star decks for 10 games each online. If I find the time, I'll post the results. It may help determine a reasonable standard for what really should be listed as tri-star spike. If people are interested in doing so as well, I can keep a running tally next to those decks, adding the total record for each deck across multiple players (not counting the original builder).
Edit: I see this as having two functions. 1) it's a safe, non jerk-ish way to police the builds. 2) it gets people trying out other people's decks, which I believe is one of the main functions of this thread.
This is your best contribution to this site yet!
DJ, I can help with the deck tests too if you want.
I'm still stewing on it. I'm going to try it out once (probably tonight), and I'll see if the time requirements are reasonable.
As far as help, if we do it at all, everyone would be welcome to test decks out - but I'll only count results from people other than the builder of the deck themselves. None of that, my deck wins 90% of the time garbage, which even I fail at at times. You just forget the bad games, or the losses from poor mana, or you ignore them because 'bad luck.' In the end you get the wrong impression of how the deck performs. Someone else can report real - actual - results.
It's fine. Just make sure you let me know, and I'll color them differently. This is mostly a list for 1v1. But I could - for example - use different colored stars to show that they are not 1v1 decks at a glance.
If they are unrated, it really doesn't matter, IMO. It will only matter if they are rated for FFA and people think the rating is for 1v1.
Although, what really ought to happen is a different thread altogether (I just don't know if there would be sufficient participants). /shrug. I don't want to over think for now. Just post the decks you wish to post, and we'll figure it out as go along.
Alright, here are my decks.... for 4ffa!
Sac Attack ★★ Use self-sac cards likeBlasting Station to buff your own creatures and control the board.
Infinite Warp World ★ Ramp, heal and create more permanents for easy infinite Warp World. Also, trigger hell.
5 Color Toolbox ★★ Use all that each color has to offer in a way that benefits you. Lots of board control and fatties to play with.

Neighbours' horror as mum and kids run from home screaming after explosion as they slept – a man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder
Bygeorgeleyva on December 31, 2020
Neighbours have described the moment a mother and her two children ran screaming from their home after an explosion ripped through the house as they slept.
They trio were asleep upstairs when the blast – caused by a butane gas cylinder – ripped through the downstairs of their Wythenshawe home shortly after midnight on Wednesday (December 30), blowing out the front and back windows.
The explosion woke neighbours, who ran over to the property to help before witnessing the siblings – a girl and a boy – screaming hysterically as they ran out of the front door in their pyjamas, followed moments later by their mother.
The mother, 32, and her daughter, 11, were taken to hospital to be treated for shock.
A number of residents were evacuated while the emergency services made the area safe.

A man, 43, was later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder; and arson with intent to endanger life following the early hours incident.
He was being questioned by detectives on Wednesday evening.

The property on Pewsey Road in the Crossacres area of Wythenshawe suffered extensive damage in the explosion, which ripped through the property shortly before 12.20am.
One resident, who declined to be named, said: "It was loud.
"At first I thought it was a car crash. Some of the neighbours ran across to see what it was about.
"They were banging on the door and a few seconds later it opened and two kids came running out. A minute later the woman came running out. They were just hysterical and running away."
Another neighbour, Brian Smith, 72, said: "It's beyond comprehension that someone can just try to take lives like that especially during the festive season.
"Those kids have just had their Christmas presents. It's heartbreaking."
A man has been arrested
A fire service spokesman said five people were checked at the scene by paramedics.
Det Insp Christopher Potter of GMP's City of Manchester division said: "This was a nasty explosion that has caused some significant damage to a property and it's lucky that no one sustained any serious injuries.
"Whilst no one was badly hurt, this has left those who were inside the property at the time understandably shaken and upset.
"We understand that events such as this can cause significant worry and concern for the local community but we want to reassure you that we believe this to have been an isolated incident and there is no wider threat posed to the public.
The blast destroyed the downstairs of the home
"We currently have one man in custody for questioning and our investigation is very much underway as we try to ascertain all the facts surrounding the incident. We would urge anyone with information that could assist us with our enquiries to speak with police."
A Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "At 12.34am on December 30, three fire engines from Cheadle and Wythenshawe, and one technical response unit with support appliance from Ashton under Lyne, attended an incident in a domestic property on Pewsey Road, Wythenshawe.
"It is believed that there was an explosion caused by butane gas cylinder.
"There was no fire, but firefighters used shoring up equipment, lighting equipment, a thermal imaging camera and gas detectors to make the property safe.
"Five casualties were given a precautionary check by ambulance paramedics. Crews were in attendance for approximately two hours."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0161 856 6063 quoting incident number 27 of 30/12/20. Alternatively, details can be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Last week I reflect on the way in which our brain works: whenever we perform any action, the neurons in our brain are communicating through hundreds of millions of synapses, and when we repeat the same action or thought, that web of connections is activated again and becomes strengthened. The stronger the actions, the better we become; the harder we practise, the luckier we get.
I wonder if this is true not only for golf or table tennis, not only for learning French or becoming better at understanding Physics, not only for mastering the piano or writing poetry, but more broadly for living – for living the good life.
What if each time we talk about someone behind their back, or cheat, or lie, or fly off the handle, we strengthen the neural connections, meaning this sort of behaviour comes more naturally in the future? On the other hand, what if each time we help a friend in need, admit the truth when it's difficult, bear with someone who's a bit irritating, check our anger before venting we strengthen those neural connections, meaning that sort of behaviour comes more naturally in the future?
Each morning we get up and we have to put on clothes appropriate to the day ahead, and how we dress depends upon what we're doing. Clothing ourselves is something we have to actively decide to do: we choose what clothes to put on. In the same way, we need to choose which virtues to put on, even when we don't feel like it and they don't come naturally at first. St. Paul recognises that those virtues don't come naturally… but the more we do them – the more we practise – the more we will strengthen the neural connections.

Kim Kardashian Shares Psoriasis Outbreak on Instagram
Jeena Sharma
Kim Kardashian West isn't shy about sharing her skin ailments with the world, and this week on Instagram she chronicled her psoriasis outbreak — an issue she's been candid about since first being diagnosed in 2011.
Related | Break the Internet: Kim Kardashian
In a story captioned "Psoriasis Face," the reality star and beauty mogul posted a close-up of her face, offering a real glimpse into what it's like to live with the condition.
According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, the skin disease that's characterized by red, itchy, and scaly build-ups affects approximately eight million Americans.
While most people try to cover it up with makeup, Kardashian West has consistently chosen to go makeup-free and remain honest about it.
In a now deleted 2016 post, the star said: "I have that one patch on my right leg that is the most visible. I don't really even try to cover it that much anymore. Sometimes I just feel like it's my big flaw and everyone knows about it, so why cover it?" she said. "I'm always hoping for a cure, of course, but in the meantime, I'm just learning to accept it as part of who I am."
Still, the celebrity has been victim to online trolls and publications criticizing her condition, including Daily Mail Celebrity who said she was having a "bad skin day."
Nevertheless, Kardashian West continues to document her journey and ongoing efforts into treating the condition both in real life and throughout the several seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
And with this recent post, fans online are impressed:

← Follow a Path or Leave a Wake?
Which is better: getting up at the crack of dawn or sleeping till noon?
Lying in the shade with a good book or going to the gym?
Snuggling in bed with the love of your life or cleaning your house?
If you answered any of these questions, I can see I have some work to do here.
Because, there really is no universal better to any of it. There's just better for you.
A late-night DJ, for instance, would probably be better served to sleep till noon, so you can stay up till the wee hours, spinning the tunes, even though so many of us have been raised to believe that really? Morally? The early riser is the better person, NO MATTER WHAT!
And it goes on like that for just about every decision we want to make in this life, for every fork we come to in the road of our lives there is one choice that will clearly be an easier sell to our families, friends and, most sadly, to the deepest part of ourselves.
Stay in school or quit to pursue something else?
This man who has his life sewn up or this other one who doesn't know where he's going but makes your heart sing?
On and on and on it goes. So let me tell you this now.
There is no better. There is only better for you. You get to decide. In fact you have to.
You can follow the path set out for you by others, if it makes you happy to do so. Because the majority choice is actually right for most people. But it's not right for everybody. And not every majority choice is right for you.
So get to know yourself. And then decide for yourself.
And either greet the dawn joyfully, or joyfully sleep till noon.
Or get up at the crack of dawn and take a nap in the afternoon!
We're such a versatile bunch round here!


Collective Portrait was a collaborative project in which Gary Simmons had a group of kids think of phrases that serve as their self-portraits, then write them in chalk on individual blackboards. He then asked them to partially erase the sentences. This proved to be the most difficult, yet formative moment in the process. All the boards were arranged to form a long sentence that symbolically became a collective portrait of the entire group. This sentence was finally printed as a billboard and displayed in Chelsea.
Gary Simmons was born in New York, NY, which is where he continues to live and work. He received his BFA from School of Visual Arts, NY and his MFA from California Institute of the Arts, CA and his currently represented by New York's Metro Pictures Gallery. Simmons approaches his visual practice as a vehicle by which to explore the cultural experiences contingent on race and identity in contemporary society.

Palmer (Ahtna: Nił'etse'it'aade or Nuutah; Dena'ina: Denal'i Kena) is a city in and the borough seat of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska, United States, located 42 miles (68 km) northeast of Anchorage on the Glenn Highway in the Matanuska Valley.[3] It is the ninth-largest city in Alaska, and forms part of the Anchorage Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city is 5,888, down from 5,937 in 2010.[4]
Palmer hosts the annual Alaska State Fair, and is also the headquarters of the National Tsunami Warning Center.
Further information: Matanuska Valley Colony
The first people to live in the Matanuska Valley, where Palmer is located, were the Dena'ina and Ahtna Athabaskans. They moved throughout the area, living a subsistence lifestyle and trading with other native groups. Their trade routes were along the Matanuska River. Russians came to Alaska in 1741 and brought the Russian Orthodox religious tradition to the indigenous peoples of the region. In the early 1890s, an entrepreneur named George W. Palmer built a trading post on the Matanuska River, near present-day Palmer. The town was later named after Palmer.[5]
In the late 19th century, the U.S. government began to take interest in the Matanuska coal fields located north of Palmer. This interest sparked financiers to consider constructing the Alaska Central Railroad in 1904. The advent of World War I created a need for high-quality coal to fuel U.S. battleships, and by 1917 the US Navy had constructed rail from the port of Seward to the Chickaloon coal deposits. At the end of World War I, the U.S. Navy distributed land in the coal fields to war veterans and additional land was opened to homesteading. Farmers, miners and homesteaders began to populate the area. The Palmer Post Office was opened July 6, 1917, under the name of Warton. With railroad accessibility, new markets for agriculture began to open up for farmers in the Matanuska Valley.
In one year, Palmer transformed from a mere whistle stop rail siding to a planned community with modern utilities and community services. Eleven million dollars from Federal Emergency Relief Administration was spent to create the town of Palmer and relocate 203 families from the hard hit Iron Range region of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Families traveled by train and ship to Palmer, arriving in May 1935. Upon their arrival they were housed in a city tent during their first Alaskan summer. Each family drew lots for 40-acre (160,000 m2) tracts and their farming adventure began in earnest. The failure rate was high, but many of their descendants still live in the area and there are still many operating farms in the Palmer area, including the Vanderwheele and Wolverine farms. In 1971, the National Outdoor Leadership School started operating wilderness education courses in the nearby Talkeetna and Chugach mountain ranges from a local historic farmhouse, the Berry House, which is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In addition to an agrarian heritage, the colony families brought with them Midwest America's small-town values, institutional structures, and a well-planned city center reminiscent of their old hometowns in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Many of the structures built are now in a nationally recognized historic district. Construction of the statewide road system and the rapid development of Anchorage has fueled growth around Palmer. Many Palmer residents commute 45 minutes to work in Anchorage.
Geography[edit]
The view traveling toward Anchorage from Palmer. Pioneer Peak is to the left with Twin Peaks to the right of Pioneer. The "Ghost Forest" of the Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge is shown in the foreground. These trees died from the subsidence that occurred in the area as a result of the Great Alaska earthquake of 1964.
Palmer is located at 61°36′7″N 149°7′2″W / 61.60194°N 149.11722°W / 61.60194; -149.11722 (61.601879, −149.117351).[6]
Palmer is 42 miles (68 km) northeast of Anchorage on the Glenn Highway. It lies on the north shore of the Matanuska River, not far above tidewater, in a wide valley between the Talkeetna Mountains to the north and the Chugach Mountains to the south and east. Pioneer Peak rises over 6,000 feet (1,800 m) above the town, just a few miles south. East of Palmer is Lazy Mountain, and standing behind that is Matanuska Peak. Lazy Mountain, Matanuska Peak, and Pioneer Peak are all a part of the Chugach Range. North of Palmer are the Talkeetna Mountains. Hatcher Pass, a local favorite for hiking, skiing and other recreational activities, is located in this mountain range about 22 mi (35 km) from Palmer.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2), all of it land. Palmer and Wasilla are the two major old-town cores of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. Population of the area has grown dramatically in the past decade; Borough officials estimate the local population at 8,000.[7]
Apart from road access, Palmer can be accessed by the Palmer Municipal Airport and the Palmer Depot of the Alaska Railroad. Neither of these have regularly scheduled service. However, when the Alaska State Fair operates, the Alaska Railroad operates a special train from Anchorage to Palmer (though it does not operate in 2021).[8]
Climate[edit]
Palmer has a subarctic climate (Köppen climate classification: Dsc). Despite this classification, the city receives noticeably more precipitation in summer, with August being the wettest month. However, April, one of the six warmer months is sufficiently drier than October and December, hence the letter 's' is used instead of 'f' (as in Dfc).
Palmer has a climate similar to that of Anchorage, although with low temperatures that are on average 1.4 °F (0.8 °C) cooler and highs 0.8 °F (0.4 °C) warmer. On average, over the course of a year, there are 28–29 days of sub-0 °F (−18 °C) lows, 22–23 days of 70 °F (21 °C)+ highs, and 0.8 days of 80 °F (27 °C)+ highs. The town straddles the border between USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 4b and 5a, indicating the coldest temperature of the year is typically around −20 °F (−29 °C).[9] Palmer is flanked by two glaciers, the Matanuska Glacier and the Knik Glacier. Wind blows through the Matanuska and Knik River Valleys into the town frequently. If there is a substantial snowfall, it will often sit for several days before most of it is blown away. These warm winds can raise winter temperatures for a couple days at a time, and are often called Chinook winds by the local people.

Main article: Alaska State Fair
The carnival midway of the Alaska State Fair
Palmer is most noted in Alaska as the location of the annual Alaska State Fair, where Palmer's agricultural spirit lives on. The Alaska State Fair holds contests for largest vegetable in several categories, and many national and even world records have been recorded at the fair, with the cabbage, radish, spinach and lettuce categories usually dominating local interest. There are rides and festivities, local artists on display, local venders and food trucks, and popular musical artists at the ConcoPhilips Borealis Theatre. In 2008, Scott Robb of Palmer won 1st place and a $2,000 prize for his 79.1 lb (35.9 kg) cabbage.[14]
Palmer Museum of History and Art[edit]
Palmer hosts a log cabin Visitor Information Center in the heart of downtown that entertains more than 35,000 visitors each year. Each summer, the visitor center employs a full-time gardener to maintain the 2 acres (8,100 m2) of public gardens that showcase more than 600 locally grown plant varieties. The Palmer Museum of History and Art is located in the Visitor Information Center and offers visitors a chance to view artifacts from Palmer's history, provides maps to historical places to see and stocks guidebooks for more information on local attractions.[15]
The Church of a Thousand Trees[edit]
A couple of blocks away from the Visitor Information Center is the United Protestant Church (aka The Church of a Thousand Trees), a Presbyterian church. It was built in 1936–37 and is one of the 17 structures that contribute to the National Register's Matanuska Colony Historic District.
Friday Fling[edit]
The Friday Fling is a local downtown Palmer event that takes place around the public library and train depot.
Parks and protected areas[edit]
Twelve miles north of Palmer is Hatcher Pass, a scenic mountainous pass. It has been established as a state park and is the home of the Independence Mine. It serves as a local back-country area for skiers, snowboarders, snowmachiners, and hikers as well as a tourist attraction in the summer months.
The area is also home to the Kepler-Bradley Lakes State Recreation Area, which grants access to numerous small lakes,[16] the Finger Lake State Recreation Area, and a number of city parks.[17]

The Mat-Su Miners, a franchise in the Alaska Baseball League, a high-level summer collegiate baseball league, play their games at Hermon Brothers Field on the State Fairgrounds.[18] Colony High School bands play pep rally music, and different venders get together to bring a large crowd to support. With Division I collegiate players from all over the United States, the Miners have twice captured the coveted National Baseball Congress championship, in 1987 and 1997. Alaska Raceway Park is a nearby dragstrip. The Valley Steelers, a semi-pro football team within the Alaska Football League, play their home games at Palmer High School.
Primary and secondary education in Palmer is a part of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District. Within city limits, there are two elementary schools (Swanson Elementary and Sherrod Elementary), one middle school (Palmer Jr. Middle School) and one high school (Palmer High School).
Palmer High is of a modest size, with about 900 students and approximately 60 staff members. In 1999, It became the first school in Alaska to offer the International Baccalaureate program. About ten minutes from Palmer are "cross-town" rivals, Colony Middle School and Colony High School.
Palmer is also home to Alaska Bible College, the state's only accredited school of theology and ministry, and Matanuska-Susitna College, an extended college of the University of Alaska Anchorage.
The Palmer Alaska Job Corps is at 800 E. Lynn Martin Drive, across from the Hageland airfield.
The Ya Ne Dah Ah School (YNDA School), operated by the Athabascan Nation Chickaloon Village, uses Alaska Native methods to teach children. It was established in 1992.[19] It is funded with grant money. In 2012 the school did not receive an annual grant which would allow it to fund Athna language and cultural programs, and it failed to receive Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) funds since the BIA had a 1995 rule preventing it from funding Alaska Native programs.[20]
Notable people[edit]
Charlie Akers (1939-2016), Olympic biathlete
Corey Cogdell (born 1986), two-time Olympic bronze medalist in trap shooting (2008, 2016); lifetime member of the National Rifle Association (NRA)
Edna DeVries (born 1941), Borough Mayor of Matanuska-Susitna Borough.[21]

Ed Walker (1917–2011), last surviving member of Castner's Cutthroats, resided at Alaska Veterans and Pioneers Home in Palmer[22]
Sister cities[edit]
Saroma, Hokkaido, Japan[23]
On October 28, 1980,[24] Palmer and Saroma agreed to a bilateral sister relation to promote cultural exchange and support a home-stay program for their residents.[25] The relationship began with a friendship formed between Mr. Mutsuhiro Ishiguro,[26] an English teacher at Saroma High School,[citation needed] and Palmer resident Edward Holmes. They met over their ham radios, and over time formed a friendship. Mr. Holmes eventually visited Saroma,[26] which then led to a delegation from Saroma to Palmer, where they signed the sister city accords. Since that time, additional relationships have formed under the auspices of the town connection.
Palmer High School with Saroma High School, established 1991
Palmer Junior Middle School and Colony Middle School with Saroma Junior High School (佐呂間中学校), established 2003
Pioneer Peak Elementary School with Saroma Elementary School (佐呂間小学校), established 1991
Palmer Presbyterian Church with Saroma Christian Church[27]
The sister city relationship is managed by the Palmer Saroma Kai (パーマ・サロマ会).[28]

Home » Car Reviews » Craigslist to Charge $5 to List Vehicles Where, Oh Where Will We All Go from Here?
IF ONLY THERE WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE TO POST CLASSIFIED ADS FOR FREE! Someplace that loved and respected the car you were selling and that offered you access to an audience of people who loved and respected the same car.
Road & Track reports that Craigslist is going to start charging $5 to post an ad for your car. While there is no official reason for the price increase, the change will start on April 15.
And while we're here to tell you that paying for the services you use is pretty dang cool because it funds the salaries that go into making the stuff you love, we're also here to tell you that there's still a free option if you want to opt out of paying the $5 for whatever reason.

Don't get me wrong, I think that functional medicine is well worth the money and may actually save you money. However, that doesn't negate the fact that the ability or inability to pay is a big factor in whether or not people come to see somebody like me. Some people really do need to re-evaluate their priorities like the woman below, but that is not always the case.
The problem is, up to this point I haven't been able to do much about the price of my services. It's not fair to me or my family to not charge enough for my time and expertise... unless somebody can pull some strings and ask the US government to pardon my giant student loan. I can't control how much my labs cost, nor do I have a lot of control over the price at which I sell my supplements. So what's a young doctor with a bleeding heart to do? How do I gather the information I need without breaking the bank?
The difference here, is that this new training will allow me to use laboratory testing a little less frequently than I have in the past. Learning new ways to examine the body and use that information to adjust my treatment protocols will no-doubt save my patients money. With the information I am learning at the Nutritional Therapy Association, I will be even better equipped to help my patients and get them on the road to healthy eating!


Four years ago, I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite therapy and treatment, I continue to experience flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety and periods of dissociation. For every symptom experienced, there are consequences. The most difficult consequence I have encountered and remain affected by is the loss of relationships with family and friends.
Disconnection and avoidance are symptoms that not only affect the person with PTSD but their loved ones as well. If ever there was something I feel vital for other people experiencing PTSD to be aware of, it would be these symptoms. Having to accept the effects of this condition is difficult enough, but having to deal with additional feelings of loss only intensifies it.
I don't know why PTSD entered my life, and I don't like what it has done, but I have accepted it is now part of who I am and I am learning how to deal with it. I no longer mourn for who I used to be or the life I once lived, instead my energy is spent learning to live with who I am today and finding things I am able to do despite the barriers I face caused by PTSD.
PTSD usually happens because we experience or witness a traumatic event our brains are unable to process. It is so severe of an event that the shock almost causes our brain to freeze and results in it being able to shelf the experience in order to continue. We do not intentionally cause this to happen, and it is in no way our fault. It results from trauma and is the brain's way of telling us it needs time to recover. I believe to accomplish this, our brain forces us to relive the traumatic event until such time it is able to process and manage it, finally finding acceptance, which leads to its ability to recover from it and return to "normal" once again. For some, this process can happen almost immediately, but for others, it can take an undetermined amount of time with progress being very slow to occur.
I am still in recovery, and with every two steps I take forward, I find myself taking one or more back. But I continue, knowing although slow, I am making progress. Be active in your treatment and believe you can get past this period in your life. Understand you in no way caused this to happen and it was beyond your control. You are brave and you are a survivor and you made it through what caused it, now I believe you must continue to be brave on your path towards recovery.
No matter what you encounter on this journey, I believe the most important thing is to ensure you remain connected with your loved ones. Write reminders on your calendar or set alarms on your cell phone to remind yourself once a week to keep the line of communication open. You don't have to have contact in person to achieve this. We are fortunate to have many methods available such as text messaging, email and even the old method of writing a letter and mailing it. I believe what matters is that you don't allow disconnection from your loved ones to happen.
If you are the loved one of a person who has been diagnosed with PTSD, learn to find ways to ensure contact is maintained. Respect that they may not want to actually have in-person contact, and do not take this personally. Their condition has nothing to do with anything you have caused or done, it is something that has happened to them and you must give them the space and time necessary to work through it. Text, email, write a letter and mail it, use whatever method you choose.
Don't try to "fix" them or tell them you understand exactly what they are going through. You can't "fix" them, they must do it on their own. Remember, you don't understand exactly what they are going through because it is their individual experience. Just remind them how much you care, that you respect their need for time and space and assure them you are there when they are ready.
For people with PTSD: you are on the journey towards recovery. You have endured something traumatic, and survived. Never forget you are brave and you are worth the fight. Don't give up.

El Rin Superior (; ) es la sección del río Rin que discurre en la llanura del Rin Superior, entre Basilea, Suiza y Bingen, Alemania. El río está marcado por los kilómetros del Rin 170 a 529 (la escala comienza en Constanza y acaba en Róterdam).

El Rin Superior es una de las cuatro secciones en las que se divide idealmente el río entre el lago Constanza y el mar del Norte, siendo las mismas: Alto Rin, Rin Superior, Rin Medio y Rin Inferior. Los países y estados a lo largo del Rin Superior son Suiza, Francia (Alsacia) y los siguientes estados federados de Alemania: Baden-Wurtemberg, Renania-Palatinado y Hesse.

El Rin Superior fue enderazado entre los años 1817 y 1876 por Johann Gottfried Tulla e hizo que fuera navegable entre 1928 y 1977. El Tratado de Versalles permite a Francia usar el Rin Superior para la producción de energía hidroeléctrica en el Gran Canal de Alsacia.
