MILWAUKEE - NASCAR team owner Jack Roush remained hospitalized in serious but stable condition Wednesday, one day after he walked away from a plane crash in Wisconsin.
In a statement, Roush Fenway Racing said Roush is under observation for facial injuries he sustained in the accident.
The team said Roush's passenger, friend Brenda Stricklin, was treated and released from the hospital Wednesday afternoon.
"On behalf of the NASCAR industry, our hearts and prayers go out to Jack Roush, the Roush family and Roush Fenway Racing," NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France said in a statement. "All of us are looking forward to a full and speedy recovery."
Roush - an aviation buff who survived another crash in 2002 - was attending the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis.
According to the EAA, a Beechcraft Premier business jet registered to Roush Fenway Racing LLC was involved in a landing accident at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday.
With Roush at the controls, the plane crashed while attempting to land.
Photos from the scene showed serious damage, with the tail section cracked away from the rest of the plane.
It was the second close call in an airplane for Roush, who crashed into a lake in Alabama eight years ago and nearly drowned before being rescued by an ex-Marine who lived nearby.
Despite sustaining serious injuries, Roush continued flying.
After having success in dragsters and sports car racing, Roush - a former Ford engineer and college physics teacher - founded his NASCAR team in 1988.
Known for his trademark Panama-style hat, academic speaking style and love for tinkering with anything mechanical, he won championships in NASCAR's top series with Matt Kenseth in 2003 and Kurt Busch in 2004.
Since 2007, Roush has partnered with the Fenway Sports Group, the sports marketing arm of the Boston Red Sox's parent company.
The team currently fields cars in the Cup series for Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and David Ragan.

Do you want to train your dog with safe collar that will help you to make your dog more obedient?
If so, this Martingale Siberian Husky Collaris what you need! It is designed og rustproof brass and soft yet strong leather part. Large buckle makes the process of leash attaching more easy. The collar is suitable for daily wearing.
This martingale collar is made with two loops which are connected with O-ring to attach a lead. When your dog tries to pull his head out of the collar, the tension on the leash pulls the collar taut, which makes escaping almost impossible. When adjusted properly the dog is never choked. The collar stays snug around the dog's neck (just behind the ears) until the pressure is made.
When not engaged by a taunt leash, fits looser than usual collars, lessening fur breakage, tangles, and skin irritation from too tight collars.
This martingale collar gives a more humane way of behavior correction than a choke collar. It is recommended by most authoritative trainers for obedience training.
Relieves pressure on your Husky's trachea by translating a tug on the leash to even pressure around the neck instead of direct pressure on the front of the neck.
Prevents escape of scared, aggressive, or excited dogs by fixedly contracting the entire collar when the dog pulls in any direction.

The Dell XPS x8900-2506BLK is a midrange desktop PC that strikes the sweet spot between power, features and price. Personally, I have never liked the term prosumer, but this system practically screams it. Positioned between Dell’s Inspiron line of value desktops and the more expensive Alienware gaming rigs, the XPS X8900 is designed to appeal to digital content creators, enthusiast-level gamers, and power users.
It is well equipped to play games at 1080p resolution, thanks to a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 graphics card, Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB system memory–all of which represents the good value and power it offers.
The Dell XPS x8900 is set in a compact case that measures 16.01 by 7.30 by 17.49 inches (HWD), which is surprisingly short and slim considering the immense power packed inside. It weighs in at 30.42 pounds, which is quite heavy, but is quite acceptable for a desktop, as you shouldn’t be moving it quite often.
Looking at it from the outside you’ll notice that it bears a rectangular shape, safe for its angled front panel at the top that add some little style. The front is made of glossy-black plastic with a silver trim, while the sides are made of black aluminum, but the top edges are black plastic. On each side, you have vents, as well as on the bottom of the front panel.
Put side-by-side with similarly powerful systems, it stands out as being relatively small, which is a plus if you’re looking for a space saving setup. Even with the small design, its port selection is excellent. A recess on the top of the system holds two USB 2.0 ports, a microphone jack, and a headset jack. The front panel features two USB 3.0 ports, as well as a card reader. A DVD-RW drive is hidden behind a cover to keep the front panel uniform, only popping open when you hit the button. This is quite good for aesthetics.
On the rear, there’s a plethora of ports, including four USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, audio lines, an Ethernet port, an HDMI port, and a DisplayPort. (Including the four on the GPU, that’s five total DisplayPorts.) There’s an open PCIe x16 slot that you can use for an additional graphics card, but note that the system only comes with a 460-watt power supply unit (PSU), so you’ll have to stay within that power limitation.
It’s still possible to throw-in a second budget graphics card to facilitate multiple-monito support, though an additional GTX 975 Card is out of the question. Additionally, there is some real estate for two more 2.5-inch drives and an optical drive, as well an open memory slot for a maximum of 32GB.
For storage, the system comes with a massive 1TB 7200rpm hard drive. While this is sufficient for storing your movies and videos, we’re disappointed that Dell didn’t include a smaller solid-state drive (SSD) for snappier booting. Nevertheless, this is still much more storage than most competing rigs.
The ASUS G11CD-US008T offers the best of both worlds with a Solid State Hybrid Drive-SSHD (1TB 7200RPM HDD +8GB SSD cache), which is way faster than a mere hard drive, though it doesn’t match a true SSD, while the ASUS G11CD-DB72 comes with a 512GB SSD for storage.
Wireless Connectivity comes via DW1801 802.11bgn on board, as well as Bluetooth 4.0. Dell includes a USB wired keyboard and mouse with the system, which are basic, but capable. The monitor is not included in the package, you’ll have to buy it separately, in our tests we hooked the system to the latest LG 32MA68HY-P IPS Monitor and the out was impressive.
The Dell XPS x8900 features a 3.4GHz Core i7-6700 processor, a 4GB GeForce GTX 745 graphics card, and 16GB of memory. More memory would be useful, and the system is capable of upgrades to 32GB, but these are pretty speedy components as is. The Intel Core i7 is not exactly what gamers are looking for–but it is fine for everyday multitasking, but being an everyday use and traditional gaming PC, it isn’t designed for virtual reality so it does offer good frames per second (FPS) on most modern titles played at higher (1080p) resolutions. Apart from gaming, this configuration is still perfectly capable of quickly finishing media projects, and offers good speed on most tasks thrown its way.
Of course, there is a quantitative difference between buying a midrange desktop and a high-end desktop, with the price being the main factor. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 graphic card here suffices as a great component and a good value, but in quarter 4 of 2015, we’ve seen some of the top-of-the-line Pascal-based cards (GTX 1060/1070&1080) cards that are significantly powerful.
For instance, our Editors’ Top Pick midrange gaming desktop, the ASUS G11CD-DB72, boasts the boasts the latest Nvidia GeForce GTX1080 graphics card, a sixth-generation Intel Core-i7 quad core processor and 16GB DDR4 system memory alongside a fast 512SSD and is VR-ready. I wouldn’t be surprised if newer gaming desktops hit the market bearing the new graphics cards a little later this year.
The Dell XPS x8900-2506BLK is a reasonably priced, well-designed gaming rig with impressive overall performance. It doesn’t stack to more premium gaming systems in its class, and is painfully lacking extras like an SSD, but it’s still a good value purchase. Its relatively slim tower is a bonus, especially, if you’re grappling with limited room on or around your desk, with the additional ease of opening up. It’s a safe buy if you’re working on a budget, but the ASUS G11CD-DB72 offers a lot more power, thanks to the latest Nvidia GeForce GTX1080 graphics card and an Intel Core-i7 quad core processor, and is VR-ready.
The Dell XPS x8900-2506BLK is a reasonably priced, well-designed gaming rig with impressive overall performance. It boasts a relatively small and sleek design and delivers good 1080p gaming and superb overall multitasking without breaking the bank.

33 IMDEC has also been the key leader in the network in the field of popular communications, promoting the democratization of art and media and their use in popular education and grassroots organizing. 35 In Canada, ALFORJA members came north to help us establish the Doris Marshall Institute for Education and Action (1985–1995); similar work has been carried on since the late 1990s by the Catalyst Centre, one of the VIVA! 36 Of the other VIVA! partners, teachers in the two universities in Mexico and in Nicaragua were more familiar with popular education, given its influence in the region, than those in the North.
VIVA! project collaborators have both created rituals and explored them in our annual gatherings; the Harvesting Stories conference in Toronto in late October 2004 culminated in a cultural evening, Beyond Halloween: Celebrating Life and Death, allowing us to share stories from Anishnabe and Kuna, Mexican and European traditions that honor the dead, and reveal, in fact, very distinct worldviews of the processes of living and dying. Our storytelling was followed the next evening by a community event in Toronto, Night of Dread, which has appropriated the Day of the Dead to involve a downtown neighborhood in parading their fears with large puppets and masks.
BilwiVision, the community television station on the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua, aims to create space on the airwaves for Miskitu, Creole, and mestizo peoples who are crafting their own coexistence in the context of autonomy from the national government. The cultural marketplace in Guadalajara, Tianguis Cultural, is also about the convergence of youth with very different identities, who are linking their right to self-expression with those of the Huichol people, for example, aiming to create a more tolerant urban culture as well as alliances for social struggles.


text: From the series “Code” A map is an imprint, a sign of man in the landscape. An alien intelligence, observing our cities from the great distances of the space, could interpret them as the characters of an alphabet, sort of messages, a code of signs, each one different from the other, each with its own meaning and its own syntax. This hypothetical alien presence may not even realize that these cities have a purpose and a function, which are the product of the way we have adapted to live on this planet, but it could engage in an attempt to interpret this unknown language, identifying the alphabet and associating to each character a precise meaning. We will still be able to understand and share this new meanings, or will they have lost any sense for us?

As I mentioned the other day, I'm building a RADIUS client in Python for sending disconnect messages to Cisco routers.
One hang-up with the pyrad package is that it requires a dictionary file in order to map RADIUS attribute names to codes and types. In the case of my client, I only need two attributes: User-Name and Calling-Station-Id. I don't want to have to create a dictionary file for just these two entries. Fortunately, the StringIO module allows me to create an object that acts like a file, but works with a string I provide.
Because StringIO provides all the methods that a normal file object does, the Dictionary() class is none the wiser.

I officially confirm that my Investigator Ray L. Byrd has charged Senator Bruce Holland in the incident which occurred on January 24, 2011 on Highway 10 West in Perry County.
Investigator Byrd has submitted the charges of Fleeing, a class A Misdemeanor, Careless Driving and Improper Passing.
This decision was made solely by Investigator Byrd who has my full support. I also commend him for taking his time in fully researching the statutes and rulings involving person of Senator Holland’s position before taking action. That decision further demonstrates Investigator Byrd’s professionalism.
I deeply regret the incident occurred but it was not by my Investigators. Investigator Byrd could have done one of two things, ignore it or do the right thing. Investigator Byrd chose to do his job.
I have instructed my Department not to discuss the matter further outside the Court System. The Court will determine the outcome.
Senator Holland’s Office will be notified of this decision. I have instructed him as to his need to report to my office to be formally charged.

Summer may be winding down, but tomatoes are still coming on strong. Which is a bummer, because the frost will do them in shortly. But while you have them, might as well enjoy them. And if you’re tired of Caprese salads (heresy, I know) or slicing them up for sandwiches, then do I have a treat for you: tomato pie.
I believe it’s one of Newton’s laws which states that almost everything is better tucked inside a flaky pie crust. If not him, then I’m gonna claim it.
Tomatoes are no exception – there’s almost nothing better than that first bite of a tomato, just picked and still warm from the sun, but when you put that same tomato into a crust with fresh basil, and top it with cheese and your homemade mayo, I think the tomato pie wins in most cases. The tomatoes cook down a bit, which concentrates their flavor and sweetness, plus you have the added creaminess of mayo and a light crunch from the crust. Summer perfection.
This is the first time we’ve made tomato pie, but it won’t be the last. It comes together super-fast, and the kids loved it too, which is sometimes hard to achieve. And of course, since I try to grow a rainbow of tomatoes, it looks beautiful when you’re putting it all together.
Lay the pie crust into a 9" pie dish, trimming any edges. Bake for about 10 minutes at 350 F, or until golden.
Remove crust from oven and let cool a bit. Place a layer of tomatoes into the crust, then add half of the herbs, with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Lay the remaining tomatoes on top of that, then top with the rest of the herbs and another dash of salt and pepper.
Spoon the cheese mixture on top and spread evenly.
Bake at 350 F for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and brown.
Let it cool, then dig in.
Oh yum, tomato pie. Have you seen the tomato-pesto pie recipe on Farmgirl Fare? The crust is made from biscuit dough, and the tomatoes are layered with mozzarella, pesto, and Parmesan. I also add Italian sausage. SO GOOD.
I have not, but it sounds pretty amazing. And it’s really hard to go wrong adding sausage to anything.

Shawn “Jay Z” Carter has banded together a formation of artists looking to take on the music streaming industry with Tidal, the music streaming company he bought for $56 million. With fierce competition from Spotify, Google, Rdio, and soon Apple, Jay Z has put together an elite list of artists that want the value of music to be recognized again. The group detailed their plans at a media event on Monday evening.
Jay Z’s version of Tidal will have two subscription tiers: $10 per month for a compressed format and $20 per-month for CD-quality streams. There is no free, ad-supported membership like offered by other services. Tidal offers more than 25 million tracks and apps across all systems, including the web.
Artists Jay Z has on board as part owners includes Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Jack White, Deadmau5, Daft Punk, Usher, and others. The group hopes to have a music streaming service that benefits both the consumer and artists. The star-studded announcement is available to view on Tidal’s website.
In recent years, artists have spoke out about not making much money from the streaming industry. Taylor Swift withdrew her music from Spotify in the fall. Jay Z calls the current system “criminal.” TechCrunch reports Tidal is paying out twice as much to artists.
With Tidal, Jay Z hopes to garner subscribers by offering exclusive content before any other service – similar to Beats Music’s original plan. The New York Times says Jay Z is courting new artists to join the service by offering Tidal special material and “windows,” or limited periods of exclusive availability.
Still, even with exclusive content, Jay Z and his band of artists have a battle ahead of them. Before Jay Z purchased Tidal from Swedish technology firm Aspiro, it had 512,000 paying users in the fall. Spotify, in comparison, has 60 million users, with 15 million of them paying.
Business Insider took a look at the current version of Tidal, and found it to be wonky. Jay Z didn’t detail if Tidal will see a user interface revamp for the web and mobile apps to take on other services.
It’s been reported Apple has plans to unveil a revamped music streaming service later this year, with exclusive content also in its focus. Does Tidal stand a chance?
You can give Tidal a try on its website with a 30 day free trial.

New legislation motivated the university to include the stores in its existing ERP system. Comparing the costs for new licences and required maintenance for proprietary solutions for point of sales and other ERP solutions, it decided to switch to Odoo. The data from Odoo is easily inserted into its proprietary ERP system. Next to point of sales systems, Odoo provides the campus stores with customer, product, inventory and sales management solutions.
"Open source gives the university more features, more flexibility and lower costs", says Luis Antunes, one of the managing partners at the Odoo specialist. ThinkOpen also helped the university implement the system, and provided training to IT staff and users. "Next year the costs will already be 30 per cent lower and after five or six years, the difference with the proprietary system will be 70 to 75 per cent."
The big advantage of using open source, and not being tied to the IT vendor, is that the university IT department can take care of updates and maintenance, explains Antunes. "The IT department will also take care of adapting the system, by for example adding new features or when required by law", he says.
He expects the success of Coimbra's switch to Odoo will motivate other public administrations to consider similar projects. "We are being approached by many public administrations from large central government institutions and municipalities", says Antunes. "They do the math and they see the enormous financial gains that are possible."

Pull up your easy chair this Saturday, and have a listen to Irish trad music on-line. The date is June 1, and the programme runs from 10 am till 12 noon in the eastern US, which means 3 to 5 pm in Ireland. Kevin Donleavy is the usual host, and the show is called ATLANTIC WEEKLY PART TWO.
Here are the easy listening steps. On your computer, go to http://wtju.net. Next, select Listen Live on the right side bar. Then, choose between Ogg and MP3.
Here are some highlights from the music to be broadcast. Mary McNamara will play Co. Clare tunes on her concertina. You can hear songs and two uilleann pipers from the Belfast band Réalta. Kerry’s own Mary Courtney will sing some ballads, and you can hear Liam Weldon singing that powerful song, “Where Is Our James Connolly.” Harper Sue Richards will perform, and you can hear Paudie O’Connor on accordion play polkas and reels with John O’Brien on uilleann pipes. Dublin singer Pat Broaders will do a fine version of the US trad song called “Storms Are on the Ocean.” That’s just the beginning ….
Hope you can tune in. You will also hear the latest news from the only Irish archaeological dig in the state of Virginia, and there’s more information about it at www.clannmhor.org. And the latest news from such groups as BRIMS (the Blue Ridge Irish Music School), and the Washington branch of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann.

The Osprey Daylite 13L backpack is one of the smallest in their range and designed for a day out doing sport or a light load on a city trip.
With this backpack Opsrey have kept their quality materials and design but reduced the size, number of pockets to produce a super lightweight pack.
If you want to get a quick overview of the daylite you can check out the first 3 minutes or so of the video review below.
Fully adjustable and lightly padded, the shoulder straps on this pack are more than adequate for the kinds of lighter loads you will carry with the Daylite.
There are also basic hip and sternum straps that are useful on any pack to align the load on your shoulders and take some of the weight off.
Although the padding on the shoulders and back is only light, it is more than enough for such a small pack.
Osprey have also covered it with a wicking mesh material to help keep you dry while out doing sport. You will still get a little sweaty, but it is better than nothing, right?
The main compartment is easy to access from the top with a half-length zipper.
An elastic back slot for things like a tablet, small laptop or papers (alternatively a hydration pack could also go in here).
On the front is a 1/3 length pocket for your smaller things.
Osprey love these organizer mesh pockets and they have also included two wide elastic ones as well as a key holder as well as space for other things in front of that.
Of course there are also two decent sized water bottle elastic mesh pockets on the outside/sides. You have to be a little careful how big a bottle you put in here. Some reviewers have said that empty bottles have the tendency to fall out, and bigger ones might need to be strapped in (use the compression straps above the pockets). All in all not an issue, but something to be aware of.
The last point on the list of features is the compression straps on the side. Always handy to have on a pack to help secure the load or doubling as a way to hold extra things on the pack or keep them in the side pockets (big water bottles, tripods etc).
Osprey have taken this little powerhouse to the next level by allowing owners of other bigger Osprey backpacks to use this as an add-on pack with any "Add-On" compatible pack from Osprey.
The Osprey Daylite 13L is a nice little daypack that is perfect for anyone seeking a lightweight pack with enough space for a day out either doing sport or in town.
If you want just a little more space, there is also the Daylite Plus which has a few extra goodies. Or you can take a look at the larger packs like the Nebula or Nova.

My question is twofold. We moved from a larger city to a smaller city. There is only one pediatric endocrinologist in town. It was my understanding (inaccurate information!) when we moved here, that there were five from which we could choose; this is not the case. This one endocrinologist in town did not look at my child's blood sugar log, did not examine her, did not offer any instruction to assist us, could not tell us of any advances being made in technology or anything, did not inquire into the insulin regimen my daughter is on. Even all the NON endocrine doctors we have seen want to know this. We have NEVER experienced anything like this in any doctor we have ever seen before. He could be overwhelmed being the only one in town. First question: Do you know of any great pediatric endocrinologists in the Atlanta. Georgia area? Sorry to sound like I'm complaining, but we have always had such good doctors before moving here. Second question: Do you know of any information or studies regarding accuracy and superiority in one Continuous Glucose Monitor over another?
It sounds like the wrong doctor. I would recommend Dr. Robert Schultz or Dr. Steve Anderson, both with a large pediatric diabetes practice in Atlanta. They have a full team including nurses, dietitians, social workers, etc. Another group is with Dr. Inger Hansen at Emory. All three are excellent and should provide the type of care and follow-up that you are asking for and that is more appropriate. Please feel free to use my name as a referral source.
With respect to your second question, at this time, the DexCom and the Medtronic Guardian are the two most commonly available CGMS. Abbott's Navigator is rarely available in the U.S. The DexCom is a bit more accurate and easier to use but does not yet have a system with the pumps so one must use two separate receivers. Medtronic's system works in a unified fashion with their own pumps. DexCom is a bit more accurate in the hypoglycemia range than the Guardian and also lasts several days longer than the Medtronic system. Both are getting better with newer developments the past few years. Most large diabetes practices utilize both systems and discuss with patients which would be more preferable for them.

This week on Top 10’s, we are going to shift gears a little bit. Let’s call it the Picasso episode. While the past few weeks of this series have been razor-edge focused, this time around we are going to go a little more abstract. I say this because today we are looking at the best finishers of all time, and to do that we need to define exactly what a finisher is. This is a very interesting question that will no doubt raise a conversation within itself. However, it must be dealt with before moving forward.
) it’s a finisher. There is no one form of finisher in Hearthstone, which is why this list is tricky to nail down. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from spells to minions. While you may win with other cards some of the time, these are the ones that seal the deal.
killed more than a few people in its day, and that’s worth noting.
is right now, you do not want to get caught up in recency bias. This card saw very little to no play for most of the time it has been around. Is it a finisher now? Absolutely. However, that does not automatically put a card onto the list. The weapon’s inherent power gets it a mention, but its short use, the overload and the fact that it can be countered with weapon hate keep it from the list.
as a way to do a quick 20 to the dome. However, though a brave few actually took the combo to legend (myself included) it was too fringe to make the top 10.
, which doesn’t put it in a great spot. Though this certainly has some potential, flashes in the pan are never going to make my final list.
(which are all inherently not finishers) is that his only purpose was to win games. He did not challenge the board, he was not a threat, he was the win. Plain and simple. Malygos may have acted as AOE one out of every hundred times he came down, but that was never even close to his main function. For that sheer power level, he makes the top.
, which skyrocketed his potential. At the end of the day he saw legend only a fraction of the other cards on this list, but he did see it quite a bit. He got the most use from Warlock, but really pulled his weight in the other classes as well.
. This card is not just one of the most effecient minions ever printed, it was once the way that Shaman beat control and midrange. Even now, this card is an amazing end-game tool that crushes slower decks and immediately ends tight games. There are many times where Midrange Shaman would be fighting an honest battle only to suddenly spring a lethal turn on their opponent out of nowhere.
made this one of the most dangerous game-enders around.
was a crazy cool finisher that created one of the most interesting deck types hearthstone has ever seen. Murloc Paladin was a deck that operated in a strange sphere that didn’t exist before the deck and hasn’t really existed since. That is to say it was a Combo Control deck that managed the board by trading off minions and stalling until you played your game-ending trump card that there really was no answer to. There are control decks and there are combo decks, but the two modes had never been melded in quite this way before.
hits number eight is because of just how absurdly strong it was in multiples. One Anyfin could do up to twenty two damage if there were no taunts in the way. That was strong and often would be lethal against many popular lists. However, the second one really pushed it over the top, doing thirty or more in one go. That kind of damage potential has never been seen in any other card, and for good reason. Some finishers do twenty or so damage, but being able to kill someone from full health is really what separated this from the pack. Often times your opponent would be forced to kill the first Anyfin, instantly opening them up to a lethal strike the next turn. Not the best finisher in the game, but certainly one of the scariest.
has made quite the impact during its short time in Hearthstone. The ten mana God is as finershy as they come, a giant end-game threat that either clears the board or kills your opponent in one fell swoop. Yes, he needs cards to buff him, but that proved much easier to do than must people initially thought. When C’thun first came around many people were suspicious about how easy he would be to integrate into different classes, and he answered the call. Big time.
is not higher than seven if two-fold. One is the fact that it simply hasn’t been around long enough. While that normally wouldn’t count against a card, the real heavy hitters on this list have been around since the start of the game. The second reason C’thun stays high up is because it needs a very specific deck to be good. Many of the best finishers have a certain amount of versatility or took one type of deck way over the top. C’thun decks are strong but not OP, and this card can only be played in certain classes in a certain style. Those limitations hold it back, but the sheer game-ending power C’thun has makes it into the top 10.
had an ability that would just generate infinite value turn after turn. She was the primary control finisher for the first year of Hearthstone, and only began to cool off when the meta began to speed up during the shift to GVG. The fact that she did drop off the map (largely due to the next inclusion on our list) keeps her at number six, but as far as control finishers go she was one of the best ever made.
is one of the few minions ever printed that was made to solely be a finisher. What makes Elise so interesting is that, unlike most cards on this list, she is a slow-burn finisher, one of the only ones ever printed. Almost every good finisher in hearthstone ends the game on the spot. This stops counterplay and gives many instant winds. However, Elise comes down on or around turn four and has no pay off until the very end of the game. Even so, she is still one of the best finishers in the game, which earns her the spot at number give. Getting a grip full of legendaries is going to lead to a win against slower decks, and has become the way Paladin, Warrior and Priest prefer to end the game.
or five plus AOE spells. You could include healing, you could play early threats, and all of it was thanks to your finisher that you weren’t going to need until much, much later on. Such a large impact is worthy of number five.
s. That means at his worst the Mage legendary is going to be twelve damage and at his best he is going to eighteen plus (sometimes reaching far over thirty). That is insane for a seven mana minion, and really pushed the envelope on a lot of different lists.
This card was once the end-game plan for Freeze, Tempo and Mech ever since they were first around. It is so inherently powerful that Archmage would be thrown into aggro, tempo, control and combo decks because of how it could steal a game out of nowhere. There were plenty of times you would face down a Mage and run them low on cards only to be hit with the old 5/7, two spells play. All of the sudden you would be staring down lethal and looking at a 5/7 that needed to die on the spot. That is the making of a good finisher. Though his run in Freeze Mage and Tempo has dwindled over time, this card was a staple over such a large spread for so long there was no way it was going to miss the top five. Four may even feel low, but that is just a reflection of how strong the top three cards truly are.
is not just a finisher. It is perhaps the most important part of Control Warrior decks and one of the only tools that has stuck with the deck from the early days of beta until now. Almost every above finisher, for one reason or another, dropped off the map. Sometimes it was because their deck faded, sometimes it was because the meta shifted and sometimes it was because they just weren’t good enough anymore. Grommash, on the other hand, does not fit that mold. He is still around and that is the reason he gets the edge over the others to number three. The eight mana orc was one of the best ways to win the game in beta, and he still holds that title today.
came out, allowing you do swing face and hit with Gromm for fourteen total damage out of nowhere. While Alex was a key piece a lot of the time, she was the set up card. Gromm was the one who put people away. In fact, Gromm is still a finisher even though the dragon is no longer around. It is not that the other cards on this list are better in a vacuum, it is just that Gromm has been doing it more consistently over a longer period of time.
. In fact, they aren’t even on the same level. Pre-nerf Leeroy was an incredibly powerful threat that was used in a wide range of different combo decks to end the game. Though the four mana legendary was an incredible tool in many aggro decks, he was a strong source of damage rather than a strict finisher. Here I want to focus on how good he was in two lists: Combolock and Miracle Rogue. Each of those decks may have had some other cards or powerful minions, but they were all just ways to get Leeroy going to the face.
. He could be number two on what he did with Miracle Rogue alone, one of the most one-sided decks of all time.
. In fact, this combo was so good that it eventually became known as the combo. While Leeroy is one step ahead of 10 through 3 on our list, nothing comes anywhere close to Force/Roar. This pairing was the way all Druid decks (aggro, ramp, combo, midrange) ended their games. Sure, sometimes they would use a couple of big minions to seal the deal, but their primary win condition was to stall until the combo hit the board. Sometimes that came with one minion, sometimes it came with two minions, but often it came alone.
was the true finisher of the pair, but to appreciate the best finisher of all time you really need both cards.
Finishers sure are fun. I always like flashy cards and combo decks, which comprises pretty much everything on this list. Though one could certainly argue about the exact positioning on the list (so many of these are cards are so close) I am happy with the top ten. Finishers are often overlooked when talking about powerful decks, and it was good to bring them to light. As always, let me know what you think in the comments. Hope all is well, and thanks for reading!

Here’s a game I played against the computer that I thought was really interesting — not in a “fireworks” way but in a “strategical planning” way. It went down to a queen-and-pawn endgame, but what is interesting is that the endgame was present as a looming possibility throughout the middlegame, and affected all the middlegame decisions. It’s almost an example of causality working backward in time!
Position after 24. … Bc4. White to move.
I’m playing White and Shredder, set to a rating of 2288, is playing Black. Earlier in the game I had an advantage but I botched it through some planless play, and now there’s no question that I am in trouble. Of course, the first point is that my rook is under attack. Exchange sacs are really out of the question in this position, so I have four moves: 25. Rfe1, 25. Rfd1, 25. Rfc1, and 25. Rfb1. Which should I play and why?
I took a time-out here to study the position at length, and I still got it wrong. That is, sort of wrong, or wrong in an interesting way.
My first inclination was to play (a) 25. Rfb1, just defending the knight, but after 25. … Rd3 26. Qf4 a6 27. Nd4 Bd5 I really hated my position. Black’s pieces are just crawling all over the board and it seems likely that he will eventually win a pawn. General word of advice: It is often better to lose a pawn sooner, when you can sacrifice it for active piece play, than to lose it later, after you have played several defensive/retreating moves and you no longer have a chance for active piece play.
So then I considered the possibility of (b) 25. Rfd1. There were a couple of things I liked about this move. First, I prevent Black’s rook invasion with … Rd3. Second, if Black decides to accept my pawn sacrifice, my queen will penetrate to c7 and then I really will have a little bit of counterplay. We’ll see how this played out in the game.
I never seriously considered (c) 25. Rfc1, which seemed too passive, or (d) 25. Rfe1. I didn’t really understand what the point of 25. Rfe1 would be. It seemed to combine the worst features of variations (a) and (b): I allow his rook to come into d3 and I give away the pawn on b5. But in fact, Rybka says that (d) is best and it’s essentially equal. The point is that if we play as in the above line, 25. Rfe1 Rd3 26. Qf4 a6 27. Nd4 Bd5 (all of which Rybka considers best moves), then White has 28. Ne6! and gets the counterplay he wants. If 28. … Bxe6 29. Rxe6 Qxc3 30. Qxf6 is dead equal.
An interesting contrast of two styles of analysis — the human method, based on abstract general considerations and the computer method, based on a precise calculation of tactical variations. I have no doubt that Rybka’s way is more convincing, but my way has some value too, as we’re going to see.
So I did play variation (b), 25. Rfd1, and Shredder took the bait: 25. … Bxb5 26. ab Rxd1+ 27. Rxd1 Qxb5 28. Qc7. Now it played 28. … Qb3, and I faced a decision. Should I head for the Queen and pawn endgame with 29. Rd8+, or should I keep my rook on the board with 29. Re1?
I again made my decision more on general principle than on concrete calculation. I was far from certain at this point that the pawn-down Queen and pawn endgame was drawn. If I’m not careful, it could turn into a two-pawns-down Q+P endgame, or a pawn-down K+P endgame, and either way it will be lost. By comparison, I liked 29. Re1 because my rook is at present more active than his. Even though I am “in debt” for a tempo (I have to create luft for my king with g3 or h3), Black’s problem is that he has no open files to put his rook on, so my rook will remain the better piece. I thought that my drawing chances were therefore clearly better with the rooks still on the board.
Shredder, on the other hand, analyzed the position very concretely and came up with a move that shocked me: 29. … Qf7!? “Wait, what?” I thought. Doesn’t 30. Re7 just win?” Well, no, and the reason why is a neat, seldom-seen tactical motif.
Position after 30. Re7. Black to move.
What is Black’s saving (perhaps even winning) move?
The answer is 30. … Re8!!
Or would be met that way, were it not for the fact that 31. Rxe8 is check. If Black’s king had only been better defended — if, for example, he had a knight on f8 — then the above position would have been a true cross pin. But because 31. Rxe8 is check, I manage to escape unscathed. Black has to play 31. … Qxe8. So all that really came out of Black’s “brilliancy” was that the computer managed to force the exchange of rooks, and get into the queen and pawn endgame that it thought was winning.
But is it winning, really? That is the $64,000 question that this whole game revolves around. I’d be interested in my readers’ opinions. Certainly the computer fails to demonstrate a win in this game, and I don’t see any clear improvement for it.
The one defect in Black’s position, which seems like a tiny little thing, is that pawn on f6. If the pawn were on f7 instead, I think that Black would likely be winning. But with the pawn on f6, White has more directions from which he can check Black’s king, plus the pawn itself is a weakness. These factors turn out to complicate Black’s task considerably.
The game continued 32. g3 Qe1+ 33. Kg2 Qe4+ 34. Kg1 a6 35. h4!
This is a very key move. First, it gives White a little bit more room to maneuver with his king. Second, it creates some ideas of playing h5 at some point and loosening up Black’s kingside. Third, even if it stays at h4, it plays the very important role of shutting off an escape route for Black’s king — especially after Black plays 35. … h5.
Play continued 36. Kh2 Qc6. After the game I thought this was a key turning point. As we’ll see, Black’s move allows my queen to come to e7, an immensely powerful square from which it controls the queenside pawns while at the same time giving Black’s king a case of claustrophobia. I thought after the game that perhaps the way for Black to win was to play first 36. … Kf8, taking e7 away, and then 37. … Qc6. In general, I thought that Black would have better winning chances if he moves his king toward the queenside rather than remaining on the kingside, where he is in constant danger of falling into perpetual check.
When I checked 36. … Kf8 on Rybka, it said that White can equalize with 37. Qh7 a5 38. Qc7! (A striking idea. White has lured Black into loosening his queenside prematurely.) a4 39. Qd8+ Qe8 40. Qxf6+ Kg8 41. Qd6 Qc6 42. Qe7, with a position similar to the game only even better for White because he has won the f-pawn.
Still, it’s hard for me to thoroughly trust computer analysis in the endgame, because as we’re going to see, Rybka (like Shredder) is totally fooled later on.
The next few moves went 37. Qe7 b6 38. Kg1 a5 39. Kh2 f5 (as we’ll see, the point of this move is to enable Black’s queen to come back to the defense of the king) 40. Kg1 a4 41. Kh2 b5 42. Kg1(diagram).
Position after 42. Kg1. Black to move.
This position is really the tabiyah of the endgame. Both sides have achieved their easily achievable goals, and now it gets hard. If you believe, as I do, that the position is drawn, then it is incumbent on Black to look for improvements earlier in the game.
It was amusing to watch Rybka’s evaluation of the position get worse and worse for White; it wanted me to play more actively with c3-c4 at some point. But I did not want to do that, because I was quite confident that Shredder could not take on c3 and win. But if he can’t win that way, how can he ever break White’s dark-square blockade on the queenside?
Shredder decided that it was time to take on c3.
The square f7 is the new e7! It’s the square on which White’s queen hems in Black’s king while keeping Black’s a-pawn blockaded. With the trade of the c3 pawn for the b5 pawn, Black has “bought” his a-pawn one more square (it’s on a3 now instead of a4), but that is not enough.
Buying the a-pawn another square, but burying the queen.
47. Kg2 a2 48. Qb3 f4!
Position after 48. … f4. White to move.
Once again, the computer with its otherworldly tactical savvy comes up with a move that I had not expected. This move takes away my check on e3, and therefore Black is now threatening to play 49. … Qb1 and queen his pawn. White has one and only one way to draw. What is it?
Hint (if one is needed): What square does White want to get his queen to in case of … Qb1? How can he also defend the threat of … Qb2 at the same time?
The only move that fulfills both requirements, threatening Qf8 and keeping an eye on b2. It’s cool to see how White’s queen combines attack with defense on opposite sides of the board throughout this endgame.
The move 49. Qc4?? would not work, for example, because of 49. … Qb2 50. Qxf4+ Kg7 51. Qc7+ (Notice how Black’s sacrifice has left White’s queen unable to reach either of the squares it needs to reach, f7 or a7.) 51. … Kh8! 52. Qd8+ Kh7 53. Qe7+ Qg7 and wins.
Basically waving the white flag, as this takes away the whole point of playing … f4. I was expecting 49. … f3+ 50. Kh2!, but in spite of appearances Black has no way to make progress. He can threaten mate with 50. … Qf1 or he can threaten to promote with 50. … Qb1, but either move allows 51. Qf8+ with a perpetual. Another nice point is that if 50. … Qe5 51. Qxa2 Qe2 (seemingly a nasty shot) White has the one and only drawing resource 52. Qa7!
It’s interesting that here Rybka insists that Black still has a 1.90-pawn advantage. Even after 26 ply of analysis (after which I mercifully stopped it) it sticks to the same conclusion.
Even though I normally respect Rybka enormously, it’s wrong here. This is a position where you need abstract thought, not more ply, to come to the right conclusion. Black has no way to extricate his queen from a1 without either (a) giving up the long diagonal, which allows an immediate perpetual, or (b) abandoning the a-pawn, leading to a dead drawn position. We thrashed around for a few more moves, and Shredder tried charging its king up the center of the board, but on move 70 it finally agreed to a draw.
I hope you enjoyed this latest installment of my epic man versus machine battles!
I was wondering about 42 … f4 Is that an improvement for Black?
If 43 gf4 Qc3 44. Qe8+ Kg7 45. Qb5 Qc1+ 46. Kg2 Qf4 and it looks like the h4 pawn is toast.
If White allow the pawn exchange on g3, the White king may be too exposed. The Black queen may be able to check its way onto a better square (maybe b3) after taking on c3. The computer should be helpful in figuring this out.
42. … f4 is a good idea. Black claims that he is not out of useful moves yet, and in general I think that he should improve his position to the maximum extent before committing to taking the c3 pawn.
The computer says that White is toast if he continues the “do-nothing” policy. If 43. Kh2 fg+ 44. fg Qxc3 45. Qe8+ Kh7 46. Qxb5 a3 47. Qd7+ Kh6 48. Qf7 (the same line as in the game, but with the pawn trade on g3 coming first) Black wins effortlessly after 48. … Qb2+. The horizontal check makes all the difference.
So for better or for worse, White has to play (after 42. … f4) 43. gf. But after 43. … Qxc3 44. Qe8+ Kg7 Rybka finds an important improvement over your line: 45. f5! Holy mackerel! Two can play this game. Black cannot ignore this, as White has actual mating threats, so Rybka says that best is 45. … Qf6. Now after 46. Qxb5 Qxh4 47. fg Qe4! 48. Kh2 Kxg6 we get a position that the 7-man endgame tablebases can evaluate for us. I don’t have access to them, though… does anyone else? Rybka evaluates it at +0.79 for Black, which makes me think that most likely it is a draw.
Anyway, this is interesting because it lets us understand the computer’s thinking about the timing of … f4. By saving it until move 48, it took away my reply 49. gf, which would have been met by 49. … Qb1 with an immediate win.

With lots of yoga classes on offer why choose us?
And our specially designed yoga centre provides the perfect setting for Iyengar yoga classes.
The Iyengar method was named after our teacher Yogacharya Sri BKS Iyengar. The teaching helps you focus on correct alignment of the body, ensuring you’re working safely, with maximum benefit to your flexibility, strength and wellbeing.
Classes generally start with simple poses and gradually move to more advanced poses ending with a period of relaxation and sometimes incorporating breathing techniques. Props such as blocks and belts are sometimes used in class to allow those with less strength or flexibility to work correctly and achieve their full potential.
• Can be practised safely by everyone, irrespective of age, physical condition and state of health. Being flexible is not a pre-requisite for yoga: it’s one of the goals! The purpose of yoga is to gradually build flexibility and strength. You will start with gentle postures, then work your way up to more intense poses as your body learns to stretch and the stiffness in your joints and muscles is relieved.
• Is a totally holistic approach to wellbeing, working on the body, mind and emotions through the practice of physical postures.
• Is taught by accredited Iyengar teachers who have undergone a rigorous training programme, with practical and written exams in anatomy, first aid, yoga philosophy and teaching theory and continuously undertake advanced training.
• Is proven through scientific studies to be effective in helping alleviate a range of medical and physical conditions.

On Oct. 31, Carles Puigdemont, president of the Catalan government, stated in a press conference that he would not seek asylum in Belgium. This potential threat against him comes in recent light of Catalonia’s attempt to seek independence from Spain. A region in the northeastern part of the country, the polls have shown that around 48.7% of Catalans support full independence whereas Spain’s Madrid-based government rejected an inaccurate referendum that stated that 90% of Catalans desired independence. However, both Spain and Catalonia will benefit more if a new understanding is reached, not independence.
As a result, Spain’s attempt to dismantle the Catalan government and hold regional elections only adds further political tension. This move will ripple through Catalonia’s influence in the communications, transportation, and public safety sectors of the country; instead, Spain should hold a conference with Puigdemont and the Catalan ministers to discuss diffusion of power and resources without resorting to full-scale measures from either party.

text: After scoring a college radio hit with "Stone Cold Yesterday" from 1990's One Simple Word, the Connells followed up with their strongest effort to date, the radio-ready Ring. While muddy production and underdeveloped songs occasionally plagued their earlier releases, Ring is an album aimed squarely at the mainstream, and is a clear attempt to pick up on fans of R.E.M., alt-country like Uncle Tupelo, and rootsy power pop like Marshall Crenshaw. The album's first single, a lilting and seemingly unassuming acoustic ballad entitled "'74-'75" became an unexpected smash hit in Europe, topping the pop charts in many countries across the continent. The song was equally indebted to acoustic-based roots rock as it was to Celtic music (as witnessed in the ornate backing vocals) and was one of the band's most successful concoctions. Subsequent singles, such as the poppy "Slackjawed" and the nostalgic "New Boy" (which sounds like it was written as musical accompaniment to a James Thurber story) each managed to garner some alternative radio attention as well. The album tracks were equally as strong, especially the tense "Carry My Picture," a stark portrait of a vindictive relationship. Ring established the Connells as the forerunners in the group of jangle pop bands that had previously lived largely in the shadow of R.E.M. and helped the band become a moderate commercial success. While time has not been kind to the band or this album, the Connells clearly held some influence. In 2000, Fran Healy of the British guitar pop band Travis admitted that his band's 1999 hit "Writing to Reach You" was written while listening to "'74-'75" on the radio, and was, in effect, a bit of a rip-off. The songs sound unmistakably similar, and it's enough proof that the Connells deserve much more credit for their contributions to guitar-based pop than they have previously been given.

To avoid coming out the same day as Star Wars.
The World of Warcraft movie, simply titled "Warcraft", has received the new release date of 11th March, 2016, Variety reports.
Initially it was set for an 18th December, 2015 release, but the J.J. Abrams Star Wars flick is now coming out then, and who wants to go head to head with that?
Warcraft is being directed by Duncan "son of David Bowie" Jones, best known for directing Moon and Source Code. Screenwriter Charles Leavitt - whose credits include Blood Diamond, The Mighty, and K-PAX - is penning the film with Legendary producing.
Not many details are known about the film, but it will feature Anduin Lothar, the leader of the Alliance, and Durotan, the first Chieftain of the Frostwolf Clan. The plot will follow the war between orcs and humans and will focus on both sides of the conflict.

Camden just learned how to give the sign "I love you" and in doing so, he's been spreading love all over the place (at Chipotle, at the grocery store, at the doctor's office, you name it and he's signing). It's a simple gesture that we give to each other when we leave. I'm pretty sure he thinks it's just an awesome shape to make with your hands, but I also know he is innocently sharing love with everyone he sees. Because he's almost 3 and as toddlers do, he has no reservations.
What would it be like if every single person he signed to was completely open to receiving this energetic love? Are you open to receiving love or joy from a stranger? Or when things get rolling (and maybe scary) are you opening your heart or only letting a little in because of fear? I know I'm not always open and when things get scary, I have allowed my personal limiting beliefs to run the show at times. But lately I've been reminded of the power I have within me - because parenting a toddler and infant is no easy task and more importantly my growth as a mama has taught me more than I could ever imagine. I have the ability to control my reaction, thoughts, words and action as I attempt to set a good example for two little humans.
"I am enough. I am worth it. I am open to receive."
From The Untethered Soul , "Your inner growth is completely dependent upon realization that the only way to find peace and contentment is to stop thinking about yourself". We have the ability to control how much energy, joy and love flows through us, so get out of the way!
