Love Casting

Hi. I currently run casual MTG games with my friends that allow cross-series card mixing and this is my deck. The only problem is that sometimes if I draw a bad hand or if I can’t seem to pull my strategy together (Whitemane Lion spam + Herd Gnarr) I seem to run out of steam. Here are my cards:

CREATURES:
3 Whitemane Lions
3 Herd Gnarr
1 Thallid Shell Dweller
4 Essence Warden
1 Sekki, Season’s Guide
2 Greenseeker
1 Deadwood Treefolk

SPELLS:
1 Honden of Cleansing Fire
1 Honden of Seeing Winds
1 Honden of Life’s Web
1 Auramancer’s Guise
1 Mantle of Leadership
2 Shielding Plax
2 Pentarch Ward
1 Spellburst
2 Utopia Scrawl
2 Dawn’s Reflection
1 Fists of Ironwood

LANDS:
10 Forests
3 Plains
2 Islands

STRATEGY
For those curious, the basic kill-strategy is to get a Herd Gnarr in play, ideally with a Mantle of Leadership enchantment, so that whenever a creature comes into play it gets +4/+4. Coupled with the ability to spam Whitemane Lions (by casting the spell and returning the lions themselves to my hand) every turn and Saprolings/Spirits coming into play thanks to my shrine and thalid, it can turn the Herd Gnar into a killer. Shielding Plax and Pentarch Wards are there to make sure my investment doesn’t go to waste.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any cards that allow the player to fetch an enchantment in his deck and then reshuffle? I think having more chances to grab at Honden of Seeing Winds (and other Shrines) will help this deck build up faster. Preferably if its a creature effect that would be great too since it fits the strategy.

can any1 pls suggest me for which mono amp of alpine or any other brand should i go for to get a blast booming sound quality…

Okay firstly off forget all what you just said!

You need a amp that’s 750 Wrms @ 1 ohm (mono or bridged)

So the cheapest that you can get way with is the Vibe Slick A7
Its 750 Wrms at 1 ohm at about 13.5 volts i used to have one and its pretty good for £150 (your rear view with shake) but i get something a lil better!

Vibe Black Box 4
RMS Out @1ohm mono : 800 w £200

Rockford Fosgate Amplifier T10001bd 1000 Watt Class-bd Mono
This will be wicked but its pricey!!

Anything

Pioneer, Alpine, JL audio, Rockford Fosgate, Directed, Vibe or MB Quart

Good Luck

I know you aren’t supposed to use soap on a cast iron pan, but I found one at the bottom of a pile of dirty dishes thats really crusty, and I don’t know how to get it clean without soap. Any ideas? Can I use soap if I re-season it? (How do i do that?)

Thanks!

My cast iron skillet belonged to my great grandmother and I have NEVER used soap or water on it.

Pour some salt in it (enough to cover the bottom of the pan) and use paper towels to scrub it out. The salt will absorb any grease and scrub off the "crusty" stuff. Continue using the salt until it’s clean.

About 2 weeks ago I bought Clairol’s Blonde Maxi hair dye. It made me platinum blonde with bright orange roots. It had been really bothering me so i bought Natural Instinct’s Brass free medium blonde. My roots came out perfect, the color on the box, but the rest of my hair has a purple cast to it!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the purple look from my hair????

You should go to a salon and get it done professionally because too much product will harm your hair and there is no guarantee that the next thing you put on it will work properly. even if it does cost more at least your hair will look good.

Does anyone know where they find the kids that model clothes in catalogues, or the kids in tv adverts etc,
Sorry I should have said I’m in Ireland!

A friend of mine tried this with his kid twice. He signed her up with agencies that alleged the world. Eventually he couldn’t afford to do that anymore.

If you really want your kid to be in TV, go to Hollywood. There’s more than enough talented kids in Hollywood that TV producers will never have to go anywhere else, so if you’re not in Hollywood you’re not even being considered. Don’t let anyone con you into thinking otherwise.

No one actually knows for sure but there’s a good chance He wrote the secret sins of those who were condemning the lady caught in adultry.

If so, how much approximately?

I know that the compression has to be increased in order for there to be more power, correct?

Since forged pistons are lighter than cast, if forged pistons are installed to replace cast aluminum pistons, do the forged pistons create more horsepower?

No. Not really. I won’t get technical about it. But Forged pistons are for strength, like Matt M said, in motors using nitrous and blowers etc.
For many applications there a necessity or a by-product so to speak of making horsepower.

I’ve always said horsepower is in the "numbers". Meaning the actual compression ratio, valve size, cam specs, etc. etc. not what there made out of.

My car runs 13.45 at exactly 102.00 MPH with Cast, flat top pistons with 10.25 to 1 compression from a ‘70 Nova SS 350 and a stock cast crank. 64CC ported heads from a ‘61 Vette with 2.02 intake and 1.80 exhaust valves. Stock rocker arms. Stock ignition. Open headers. Drag radials. The valves are stainless steel so I can run 93 Unleaded pump gas. I figure it’s around 325 horsepower and I’ve put 80,000 miles on it in 18 years and have around 70 timeslips from the dragstrip in that whole time.

Remember this, 80% of ALL racing parts are simply Heavy Duty to handle the "numbers" you put into an engine. The better numbers the more power and RPM’s and heat.
If you want well over 450 horsepower, or want to use a 100 hp shot of N20 then Forged Pistons and Steel Cranks are simply the standard choice for the longevity of the motor.

i want to make high detail metal casts and am having trouble deciding what method to use for the moulds. my product will be high detail metal turtles of my own design that i want to mass produce at home with my furnace. should i use green sand casting or a more suited method. Please help

you first need to figure out what metal you are going to use. Green sand casting is generally not a method for high detail, though you can use graphite powder to improve it.
A reasonably cheap standard mold material is a silicon sand/plaster mix, though your mold will need to be completely dry – and that means heated up before you can cast metal into it. There is also some investment material (e.g. Kerr) for jewelry which is a bit better at detail and not cracking, but unless a store in town has it, shipping costs make it rather expensive.

If you have a low melting point metal like pewter there are silicone molding materials which can actually withstand the temperature.

Deloro Stellite Investment Casting Process, Components with extremely high near-net-shape requirements and surface qualities are produced by the investment casting process. The high precision of investment cast parts can reduce or eliminate some machining operations. This process is commonly used for the production of large quantities of parts. Wax patterns in the shape of the finished casting are assembled on wax trees. The trees are coated with several layers of ceramic particles to form a mould. Each layer is applied via a ceramic slurry followed by drying. The wax is removed, the ceramic mould is fired and is then ready for casting.

Gussstücke mit hohen Anforderungen an Maßhaltigkeit und Oberflächengüte werden mit Hilfe des Wachsausschmelzverfahrens, auch Feinguss genannt, hergestellt. Für jedes Gussteil wird ein Wachsmodell in Form des herzustellenden Werkstückes angefertigt. Mehrere Wachsmodelle werden zu Gießeinheiten den sogenannten Trauben verbunden. Die Trauben werden dann mit einer Keramikformmasse überzogen, welche anschließend getrocknet wird. Das Wachs wird ausgeschmolzen, die Form gebrannt und anschließend wird der geschmolzene Werkstoff in die heiße Keramikform gegossen. Mit diesem Verfahren werden hohe Genauigkeiten und hohe
Oberflächengüten erzielt, was den Umfang der nachfolgenden Bearbeitung erheblich reduziert. Zum Einsatz kommt das Feingießverfahren in der Regel nur bei höheren Stückzahlen.
