Nate Heiss PT Rome Report - 11/25/98
I went to PT Rome as the only CMU affiliate NOT playing Academy, and
ended up 13th place. Not bad, for the second most powerful deck in the
format. I decided not to play Academy after it spread out all over the web. In
reality, CMU had the deck 3 days after the prerelease, and it got even better
once they found Time Spiral! (the original thing got fast Cursed Scroll,
Ophidians, and Mohti's into play)...[Not surprisingly a personal favorite of mine, Ed.]
Understanding Your Smoking Rituals and Habits in Quitting Smoking
One of the toughest things in quitting smoking is realizing what rituals were developed as smoking rituals, and then changing them. We’re talking about the habit part of smoking, but not in general terms. Rituals are small routines smokers develop without necessarily realizing it. Every smoker is different. The one thing all smokers have in common is that they develop smoking rituals, whatever their own rituals happen to be.

Mark Globus Worlds Report 2001 - 8/20/01
I had really wanted to make it worlds this year. I had never attended
before, and with worlds just an 8 hour drive from my house, it was
quite accessible. It also looked likely as between placing 27th at PT New
York (Masque Block constructed) and winning a limited PTQ my composite
ranking in February was 13th in the world. However, a few months later
of averaging 3-1 at booster drafts and a prerelease, my composite had
drifted down to 80th. Luckily, they finally froze the ratings and there
were more than 30 people ahead of me already invited! I had Q'd for my
first worlds!...

It’s all about the Dinosaurs
I REALLY want to get to NY. No, More than that I NEED to go to NY. It is that time of year for me to Qualify, and I won’t have to fly. I am going to be going to NY even if it is just to watch, and I HATE having to tell people “No, I’m not playing. I’m just watching today.” God I hate that. I feel like such a dork. I hate feeling like a dork.
Hammer has told me this before, and I think Guevin has as well. One of them, I forget which one, once told me “You know how you say - “I never top deck the Drain?” and you say “My next card was the one I needed to win?” If you would go to sixty cards, the card you needed so often would be that next card.”
I lie awake late one night thinking about this...
How I won the Mid-Atlantic regionals with my Song of Blood Deck - 5/27/97
When I wake up, it is 9:30. That's
bad. I FLY down 495 at breakneck speeds to arrive just in time
to plead my way in, as they are just starting to call pairings.
They let me in! I happily accept the deck reg form and since I
can't remember the basic land ratio of islands to plains (is it
7/7 or 6/8?) so I open up my deck to look. Problem. This is
not my counterpost deck...[This is some funny stuff, Ed.]
Das Glasperlenkartenspiel - 10/14/98
Not a long time ago, I stumbled upon "Das Glasperlenspiel" ("The Glass
Bead Game") by German novelist Hermann Hesse, a novel written in 1943,
shortly after which he was given the Nobel prize....The analogy of the Glass Bead Game's beginning with M:tG struck me...
The RealityNewsOnline Survivor Post-Merge Review
A few days before Survivor: Africa premiered, the staff of RealityNewsOnline put together a preview article in which we attempted to guess the personality traits that would label the sixteen contestants. Some of our predictions were correct, and many were wrong. Let’s look back and see how opinions have changed, what each current contestant’s defining moment was, how each has surprised us, and what each’s biggest character flaw is. Of course, we make some more predictions as well.
