Bluffs in Tournament Play
Tournaments change every facet of the game, and the ability to bluff is no different. In a cash game you'll be able to reload if you run a failed bluff, but this just isn't an option when you are in a tournament. Once the chips are gone, they are gone, so you'll need to be exceptionally careful. Now, this isn't to say that you shouldn't be running bluffs from time to time, but you will most certainly need to be picking your spots with extreme care.
As backwards as it might sound, the later stages of a tournament will usually be the best time to attempt a bluff. It doesn't seem like this would make sense, but this is when you are most likely to procure a lot of folds. As a tournament runs deeper and deeper, players tend to become more scared. As a result of this, you'll be able to take advantage of other players' weakness by firing out well timed bluffs in an attempt to take down big pots. Picking your spot is always important when running a bluff, but its importance is even more magnified when you are playing a tournament.
Bluffs in Early Stages
The early stages of a tournament are the worst time to attempt a bluff. Bluffs shouldn't be confused with continuation bets, however, as these will be perfectly acceptable from the very first hand that you play. When discussing bluffs, you should be thinking about those big pots where you are going to risk a significant amount of chips for a sizable pot. A continuation bet is different because it will mean that you are wagering a small amount of chips for a moderately sized pot. The risk reward in a continuation bet is weighted such that you have little on the line, whereas in bluffs you can very easily put yourself in a difficult position should you happen to lose the pot.
The reason that bluffing in early stages doesn't make sense is because your absolute best outcome is a 50% or increase in stack size, since a 100% increase means that you were likely called. Since even an early double up is going to mean next to nothing later on, it doesn't make sense to put yourself in this amount of danger. You can't win the tournament in the early stages, so there's no point in playing as if you can.
Bluffs in Middle Stages
In the middle stages of a tournament, the value of a bluff will begin to rise. Where there was once little value to be had, there's now more worth fighting for. This isn't to say that you should be risking your life at this point in an event, however. The middle stages are where you'll either start to fall behind the pack or when you'll start to pull away. The end of the spectrum that you happen to be on will play into whether or not you are in prime position for running any bluffs.
If you are starting to lag behind the field as the blinds start to steadily increase, bluffing is something that you should put on the back burner. Instead of trying to accumulate chips with risky plays, the better move is to look for spots where you can most effectively double up. If you are low on chips, you are probably going to be scared money. Bluffs should be made when you have the power to push people around, but a short stack is living on its last legs.
The times where you have compiled a big stack of chips are the situations where you should be attempting bluffs, and especially in the middle stages. Some players will still be in early stage mode and will be playing passively, making it a perfect opportunity for you to throw around your weight. As good as making some bluffs can be for your chip stack, you'll still need to be careful that you don't needlessly drain your tournament life away. Don't take any big risks quite yet; simply stick to making plays in hands with the highest chances of success.
Bluffs in Late Stages
The late stages of a tournament are going to be full of adrenaline and extreme emotional swings. You could be riding high one second and on the brink of being knocked out the next. If you make a bluff at this time, expect those emotions to be even more amplified. A bluff late in a tournament could define whether you barely cash or make it to the final table.
As a short stack, you shouldn't even be considering making a bluff as the tournament nears its final stages. Instead you should be looking for the best double up opportunities that are available. There's no value in putting your life on the line in an attempt to double up when you could be doing the same with a decent hand. Any good bluff requires that you are intimidating your opponent, and a small stack will have a tough time accomplishing this. Even if you have a big stack, bluffs aren't to be messed around with. One failed bluff when the blinds are high could very easily spell disaster.
If you are going to try and outplay your opponents when you are in the middle of a deep run, you need to be aware of the risk involved. Don't take big shots at tight players who only get involved with the nuts. Don't bluff on a board where your opponent is very likely to be slow playing the nuts. This is all very obvious advice, but many players will get suckered into the idea of winning a big pot with nothing at all. While the chance of increasing your stack by a good margin is enticing, it's also exceedingly dangerous. Use your big stack as a weapon to push around weaker players in the late stages of a tournament, but don't use it as a means of self-destruction.

Before he ever took off, Falcon Heene was grounded. Now that the boy is (still) safe at home, what are the parents to do? They've already said a go-upstairs-to-your-room grounding is out of the question. So why not indulge in some old-fashioned fun, some mainstream parenting, and take the brood to the movies.
The obvious choice is Where the Wild Things Are, which came out last night in theaters. Director Spike Jonze has not so much adapted, or been inspired by, Maurice Sendak's 1963 classic, as he has extrapolated from it. We realize early on that Wild Things is testament both to Jonze's expansive vision and to Sendak's concise genius. In newcomer Max Records, we have Sendak's impudent antihero of the same name, whose pouts and maniacal yelps strike just the right note. And in the likes of James Gandolfini and Catherine O'Hara, the alternately ferocious and docile beasts find a voice. What we felt intuitively in two dimensions is masterfully rendered in three.
It's the titular wild things, of course, who delight in the film. As characters, they're plainly more substantial than the Hobbits, ewoks and vampires of cinematic late. Oz, where the farmhands are charmingly ensorcelled into Dorothy's reverie, is not far. But Jonze's creatures are more than figurative stand-ins: they are ideational, drawn from the frightened and frightening subconscious of a troubled little boy. KW, a wild thing voiced by Lauren Ambrose, looks and sounds like Max's sister (invented for the film), but she's also, at various points, his friend, crush, sibling and mother.
As Jackson Pollock said of his work, "I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time." Jonze works from behind the camera as Pollock worked above the canvas: "When you're painting out of your unconscious," Pollock said, "figures are bound to emerge." We see those haunting gibbous eyes through Max's own wide eyes, their grotesque and mismatched features in Max's brat-in-wolf costume, and their impetuous tantrums in Max's own insolence. The wild things are emotions, conflicted and complex, strewn about the film like whips and drips of paint, the plumbed depths of full fathom five.
On a slow news day, Falcon Heene's father yelled at him. So the boy hid in a box in his attic. He played with his toys and took a nap. What did he dream of? Not a boat waiting under the moonlight, but a space ship hovering in his backyard. Not a primeval island populated by magical beasts, but the open sky. Not just a frantic mother, but the whole world hot on his contrail. And when Falcon awoke, what more was there to say? There's no place like home, there's no place like home...
It must have been nice inside that box, away from the twittering, frittering flock who for two hours followed a jerky cameraman in a wild goose chase over the Rockies. Away from a rumpus that, between storm-chasing and spouse-swapping, was by all accounts wild. So take in the audience this weekend. They'll devote the same two hours to Max that they gave to Falcon, anointing one boy king as they did the other. In the bleary- or teary-eyed faces around you, well, that's where the wild things are.

Discover Red Rocks' fascinating geology and Māori history.
On Wellington's rugged south coast, just a 30 to 40 minute walk from Owhiro Bay you'll discover the Red Rocks (Pari-whero). This is a coastal area of national significance with fascinating geology and Maori history.
The Red Rocks were formed 200 million years ago by undersea volcanic eruptions. Small amounts of iron oxides give the rocks their distinctive colouring.
The easy coastal walk extends to Sinclair Head, where there is a New Zealand fur seal colony. The colony can be seen from May to October.
In 2002 the New Zealand Historic Places Trust registered four baches (simple beach houses) at Red Rocks as historic areas. The baches, built in the early 1900s, have been kept in original form by their proud owners.
The Te Kopahou entranceway and visitor centre at the entry point to the reserve was crowned the supreme winner at the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects' awards in 2015.
A visitors' guide to the south coast, produced by the South Coast Charitable Trust, is available from the Wellington i-SITE.

Most of us have been there before. You are enjoying a nice meal, or eating a piece of candy, when you feel something in your mouth that isn't right. Then realization, it is a piece of tooth.
Even though the enamel on our teeth is the hardest mineralized tissue in our bodies, it does have it's limits. We can break or crack a tooth with an injury, biting down on a hard object, or even tooth decay.
First things first – see your dentist as soon as possible. Waiting to do so can cause further damage or infection and you could lose the tooth completely.
Then in the meantime, here are some helpful items:
- Sometimes there is pain with a broken tooth. If there is take ibuprofen or another over the counter pain reliever, and rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
- If there is bleeding, then apply a gauze to the area until the bleeding stops.
- If the broken tooth has caused any sharp or jagged edges, try covering it with a piece of wax paraffin or even sugarless gum. This may help decrease the possibility of cutting the inside of your mouth.
- Use a cold compress against the outside of the mouth, along where the damaged area is. This could help decrease any swelling.
- If you need to eat, then eat soft items and try not to bite down on the broken tooth.
When arriving at the dentist, tell them exactly what happened to the tooth. The treatment may be different for different situations, depending on how badly the tooth is damaged. If it is a small piece that broke off, they can usually get this repaired in one visit. If the tooth is severely damaged it may take a more in depth appointment or a couple of appointments. Here are some treatments that they might recommend:
- Bonding – If the area is just a small piece of tooth enamel that cracked or broke off, they may recommend that it be repaired with a filling. If the tooth is a front tooth, or is in visible sight to others, they might recommend bonding. This is a resin that is tooth-colored. The dentist will place a liquid on the tooth surface to roughen it so that the bonding material adheres. Next, they will apply an adhesive material that is then followed by the bonding material. After they shape this into looking like a tooth, they use an ultraviolet light to set the bonding, or to harden into shape.
- Caps or Crowns – If it is a larger piece that broke or the crack is significant and has a lot of decay, the dentist will recommend that they file away that part of the tooth and cover it with a Crown to protect the tooth and its appearance. These crowns can be made of metal, porcelain, ceramic, or resin.
Whatever the treatment that you and your dental health provider agree upon, it is important to follow all instructions because it can relieve the pain and possibly avoid further infections. Once treated, most teeth will continue to function so that you can chew comfortably. Talk to your dentist about your particular case and see if there are recommendations for further treatments.
Call Dr. Monica Neely at (405) 302-0100 for an appointment. We serve patients from Edmond OK and surrounding areas.

Recently, I wrote about why I don't have a best friend. To date, it is in my Top 10 most viewed posts of all time. And this is a post I wrote only two months ago! Obviously, people care about best friends. I have had such positive feedback and conversations with people, outside this blog, about this post. They have shared their own personal "best friend" stories and hurts with me. I realize more than ever, how much people care about relationships. And even more, how much I am not alone.
If I were honest, the topic of friendships still causes discontentment in my heart a little bit. And with only 10 days(!) left in this blogging challenge, I felt like it needed to be addressed.
While I do feel like my "best friend" post summed up a lot of my feelings on labels and titles and why I avoid them in friendships; what I failed to discuss is how grateful I am for the good friends I do have and how you can never replace or replicate a relationship no matter how hard you try.
I moved from Alabama over a year and a half ago. I remember the excitement of moving back home to Florida, Josh getting a great position at a wonderful church, and the reality of being closer to family. This will be the easiest move yet, were my exact thoughts.
What I didn't realize, at least not completely at the time, is how much I would miss my friends.
I only lived in Alabama for three years, yet it felt like I grew up there. Because, in a way I did. It was the first place I lived as an adult, out of college.
Being in college drastically skews your relationships and view on friendships. It's like an extension of high school, with more freedom! You make friends with your roommates, your classmates, those who have the same degree as you, those who play sports, sing in the choir or are part of the same "sorority/fraternity." If we're being honest, you have to put in very little effort to make friendships in college.
But then you graduate. You leave the cushion of having someone to hang out with every night. And you get in the real world.This is when the real test begins.
You are faced with people of different ages, different backgrounds and different beliefs than you. Relationships become intentional. You have to actively seek them out.
This is what I faced in the few years I was in Alabama. I struggled and prayed for about a year before I really began to make close friendships. I remember for awhile just feeling left out of every stage. Stuck between the "college kids" and the "new moms," I was still immature and thought I needed friends who were only in my "life stage." Instead of taking the opportunity to see who I could learn from and who I could pour into. Eventually, God allowed me to form some great relationships with women in several different stages of life. And my heart was so full.
Just as those relationships were really blossoming, God called us to move.
We moved when I was 20 weeks pregnant. On top of now having to start over in the friendship department, I was about to be a new mom. When Micah was born, I wasn't sure exactly how to be a mom and a friend at the same time. I had so many questions about motherhood and didn't feel comfortable just asking anyone the answers to them. I grew more and more discontent as I began to long for the women who held my hand and cried with me, while I was praying so hard for this child.
It took me another year, but I've finally asked God for the cure to this kind of discontentment in friendships.
No one friendship will ever be the same.
I was trying so hard to fill the void of relationships past. I wanted someone to make me laugh the way that "so-and-so" did or listen the way that she did and on and on. When I stopped to think about it, I realized that this whole issue of comparison is probably one reason girls have such a difficult time getting along. How can I claim to love everyone and yet, be so selective when it comes to friendships?
We are called to love. Period. Not to love a certain person more, better or best.
That's what inspired my "best friend" post and that's what continues to inspire my heart every day.
This world will never get over it's fascination with friendships and besties, but that's not the call of God. The call of God is to love, equip and encourage each other. When one falls, to help another up. Like I said before, "These friends exist plurally, and the only way to make them is by being the kind of person who shows love unconditionally, to anyone, without favoritism."
I will never be able to replace the friends I've made in Alabama, but the truth is I'll never be able to replace the friendships I've made and am continuing to make here.

As our online identities, information about us online, expand, how can we manage that information to put our best face (identity) forward?

Lip Augmentation Coventry | Get Fuller Lips
As in other parts of the body, our lips lose some of their fullness, or volume, as we get older. This is due to the reduction in the amount of hyaluronic acid in the tissues that accompanies ageing. Restylane LIPP is a form of hyaluronic acid that has been specially designed to replace this loss of volume, and therefore restore, or even enhance, the natural shape and fullness of our lips.
The procedure of lip enhancement is undertaken by performing a series of injections into the border or the body of the lips, or both, depending on the results we are trying to achieve. This is a very sensitive part of the face, so Dr. Horn usually uses anaesthetic in the form of a dental block (injections into the gums), to totally numb the lips. After injecting the lips, the filler may then be moulded slightly to maximise smoothness; the whole procedure takes 20-30 minutes.
Immediately after the procedure the lips will be swollen, but this will be largely settled by the following day. When the anaesthetic wears off, (within a few hours), the lips may be sore; this is readily eased by the use of ice and/or simple painkillers.
Below are some before and after pictures to illustrate the benefits of lip augmentation and some more information about the product we use.

The Way Through Doors, Jesse Ball. Vintage. 240pp, 13.95.
Once upon a time, there was only one way to write a novel. You thought up your setting, then you peopled it with characters, and you decided what you wanted to happen to all of them. The endeavor was usually completely solitary, and when it was all over, you had a novel.
Only comparatively recently in the novel's long history did an alternative to this process present itself. Sometime in the mid 20th century a few writers began abandoning the old method; they began disdaining plot, not caring if their characters were consistent or what happened to them, and complaining about the strictures of tradition.
And so, Jesse Ball.
The young author of the new novel The Way Through Doors has a track record when it comes to this sort of self-indulgence. The only reason such a track record doesn't merit him instant and silent dismissal is that his last novel, Samedi the Deafness, was actually good. True, large parts of it still read like first drafts, whimsies, even outlines, and it could be arrogant. But large parts of it also weren't arrogant—and that, when combined with Ball's undeniable if intermittent ear for a memorable phrase (and a heartfelt if erratic penchant for winning sentimentality), was enough to lift it above many of its peers and make it a credibly enjoyable little book.
Once a young writer produces a book like that, some readers (no doubt irrationally) want him to do more.
Careful, then, what you wish for: in The Way Through Doors (whoever titled Samedi the Deafness clearly had the day off), Ball does a little more. A very little more. So little more that if he did any less, he'd be doing nothing more at all. Out of its 2,690 sentences (in a stupefying gesture of egotism, the book's prose is numbered every ten lines or so, like something out of Homer), something like sixteen show an artistic improvement over Samedi the Deafness. The Way Through Doors is roughly sixteen sentences better than Samedi the Deafness, and it's through those sixteen sentences that the book lays legitimate claim to our attention.
Here's the point in a review where the reviewer would helpfully synopsize the book's plot in order to facilitate the discussion of its execution. But as in the magical realists who so clearly showed Ball the path of his indolence, plot has become a problematic term.
Nevertheless, here goes: a young man named Selah Morse, a ne'er-do-well writer of pamphlets, is summoned by his uncle and given a position in the Seventh Ministry, Department of Municipal Inspection, a desk job his uncle hopes will straighten him out. After he's been working there several months, Selah happens to witness a pretty young woman, whom he calls Mora, get hit by a car. He rushes her to the hospital, where it transpires she remembers nothing of the accident—or of her entire life. Selah proceeds to create a life for her and tell her all about it, and by that point Ball has created the basic scaffolding of a book, however twee and self-indulgent.
The nominal device of the book—that everything in it (up to a point, sort of) is just stories made up by Selah on the spot and told to a listening Mora—would allow Ball to claim artistic license for any plot or narrative laziness, but that's mighty damn convenient—either Selah is one crappy storyteller, or Ball needs to devise better tricks.
And if tricks are of no avail, why play them? In The Way Through Doors more than in anything else he's ever produced, Ball gives a drastically twofold impression: that he knows that so much of what he's doing is trickery (and therefore empty trickery), and that he might just intend to keep doing it anyway.
But in any case, it's time to knock it off. Page after page of this is simply too much indulgence to give an author like Ball, whose pussy-footing with such gimmickry is so often balanced, in Samedi the Deafness and The Way Through Doors, by something real, the germ of the genuine. It's when the two things are dancing cheek-to-cheek in the latter that they're at their most frustrating. Ball can turn from using words in whatever way first strikes him, revision be damned, his readers' intelligence be damned, to using them with the care and precision of a writer twice his age, as in this exchange between the young lovers at the book's end:
—I am going to get some breakfast for us [Selah tells Mora]. I will be back in a minute.
—Then we will meet over there, said Mora. pointing to a place on the beach. Let us agree to say that when you return with our breakfast that you have been gone a month. This month to come will be my secret month, one of the two months that Elia Amblin slept. For even a girl without a memory should have secrets that she knows. She of all people for whom everything is a secret.
—But how will you live for a month? asked Selah.
He felt the hot morning sun on his face, and it was good. He could feel the circumstances all around him easing. And before him, this tricksome, winsome girl.
—A month is not so long when it is morning time, she said.
If his next book only has sixteen more good sentences than The Way Through Doors, Ball's readers will be justified in simply walking away. Those sixteen additional good sentences in The Way Through Doors have a clear meaning (over and above warranting Ball our critical attention), and that meaning is a message to their author: get a friend who's an editor. Revise your material. Drop the God-help-us verse-numbering. Cut out the empty trickery. Knock it off. You've got work to do, and we want to see it.

Posted 01-12-2014
It sounds like a movie plot: In late November, 2014 cybercriminals (perhaps sponsored by a secretive foreign nation) hacked into Sony Pictures' computer systems, paralyzed the entertainment giant's operations, and stole 100 terabytes of internal information. Then, the hackers began to release their finds to the press and the internet community, including personal, financial, and medical information about Sony employees and their families, e-mails between employees, company financial data, copies of unreleased Sony films, and more.
The losses to Sony have been staggering, starting with the cancellation of a major movie release (later rescheduled and scaled back), a class action by current and former employees angered by the disclosure of their Social Security numbers and other personal information, and the disclosure of many emails that the writers now sorely regret. Among the embarrassing revelations in the hacked emails are Hitler jokes, racial comments about President Obama's presumed movie choices, and trash talk about Sony's own movies, as well as film stars, directors, producers, and Hollywood personalities.
There are a number of lessons we can all learn from Sony's experience:
- Take internet security seriously. Encrypt your sensitive data. If Sony employees had done this, it would have been a lot harder for hackers and journalists to reveal so much information that Sony wanted to keep confidential.
- Don't store your passwords in a computer file called "Password"! There were close to 150 such files at Sony, chock-full of usernames and passwords. Also, don't e-mail passwords, which is what the Sony CEO's staff did when their boss needed a reminder.
- Remember that email=evidence, and think before you hit "send". You really have to assume that anything you put in email might end up in the hands of your boss, the press, or your company's competitors. Or Congress, as a Goldman Sachs manager found to his discomfort when he was cross-examined in a 2010 Senate hearing about an email discussing the "sh***y deal" his employer had recommended to clients. Or a prosecutor, like the one investigating whether as aides to NJ Governor Chris Christie broke federal laws when they sent emails calling for the rush-hour closure of lanes on the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge, thereby causing a massive traffic snarl, in apparent political retribution against a Democratic mayor who did not endorse Christie's reelection bid.
What this means to you:
E-mail, instant messaging, social networks, and blogs can be a gold mine—or a land mine! They make your business more productive, and more liable for lawsuits.

Jonah = Y (Why?)
It's a perception from basic math:
miraculous visuals + adulthood's pride - humility = mistaking the book of Jonah as a "child's story." But this alleged child's story is dedicated to childish behavior, regardless of age. There's a "whale" of riddle inside this narrative, which releases the potential for a man's heart to escape its own inner trappings, oceans not included. We simply need to solve it! And to get to X, we must accept that Jonah = Y (why?).
The story of Jonah, minus the miracles: a prophet ordered by God to give a message to another nation. He refuses at first, but eventually does.
So Jonah = Y (why?) Here's the riddle: Why didn't Jonah want to go? How come?
For the sake of expediency, many conclude that Jonah was afraid. But that's not accurate nor logical after considering his profile. We're talking about a guy who was asleep inside a boat with his hysterical friends, during a horrific storm (sound familiar?). Fear? Not hardly. We are also witnessing a man who volunteered (sacrificed) himself for everyone else's comfort, based on his insight that it was his attitude God was upset with; and he was proven correct (the storm stopped). Cowardly? Oblivious? It just doesn't add up! So I ask again, as we've canceled out the basic traits, why didn't Jonah want to go?
What readers are witnessing is a tug of war: the fruits of a standoff between God's plan and Jonah's non-cooperative effort to sabotage it. Nowhere does the Bible suggest Jonah expected to be safely swallowed and contained by a great fish. So let's face it; this was a suicide attempt! It was a willingness to die for God's non-accomplishment. And critical observation will reveal that the 3-day period inside this great fish was not mere detention; it was a struggle of determinations! Proof of a more cause-and-effect reality is that Jonah bailed himself out as soon as he repented. But for what? What exactly was this profitable plan? And how did Jonah pre-determine what it was?
Now let's SOLVE FOR X:
"So he prayed to the Lord, and said, 'Ah, Lord, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm (Jonah 4:2)"
Jonah was a prophet during God's on-again-off-again relationship with the Israelites, due to their unrepenting attitude (not sin itself). And Jonah didn't want to embarrass their non-apologetic investment. Their gamble to boycott accountability, and force God to negotiate HIS law with their "just-get-over-it" policy was about to loose! God's merciful demonstration, toward another people, was in the making. And Jonah pre-knew it! The moral of this story is a supernatural visual and an animation for everyone to witness the achievement of true redemption. Without bondage, it's so easy to be forgiven and internally free. Meanwhile, a valid guilt demands defensive accessories like self-hallucinations, political affirmations, and on-call explanations forever. Who can afford Apologize-a-phobia spiritually?
Over time, accountability has become more of a political hobby when God requires so much more. So that storm in Jonah's story occurs now inside a conflicted heart. The question becomes, "Will we address the reason why? Will today's Christian follow Jonah's example, knowing and admitting their behavioral role?" Finally, will the children of God follow the example of the other nation, facilitating a bondage-free atmosphere of authentic self-reflection? Make no mistake that if we don't, if we haven't, the punishment is an invisible one. They will be sentenced to live in a "bubble" about the size of a "whale."

Outreach on Campus: Lessons from Israel Uncovered Recruitment
Erika Wohl is The David Project's Campus Coordinator in the New Jersey and New York area, as well as in Tennessee and Georgia. She attended Skidmore College where she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics and International Affairs. Whenever I talk to people who haven't previously heard of The David Project, I explain that while it's wonderful to talk about Israel with other pro-Israel advocates or people who already love the country, it's truly a gift to be able to share Israel with those who haven't been exposed to it before.
We all, within the Israel and Jewish community, know of the amazing things Israel has to offer. We know about Israel as the start-up nation; we know about the rich and vast diversity within Israeli life--religiously, nationally, culturally; we know about Israel's liberal democracy and the IDF as a highly humanitarian army.
But outside of our pro-Israel bubble, these virtues are not as well known, and thus we have an opportunity to share our beloved Israel with others outside of our community. Here at The David Project, we fundamentally believe whoever you are, regardless of your background, interests, and involvements on campus, you can have a connection to Israel. The David Project is about to give 76 campus leaders from campuses across the country their opportunity to find their connection to Israel on our unique Israel Uncovered: Campus Leader's Mission to Israel trip. The trip this winter break is going to be an incredibly meaningful and enriching experience, both for the campus leaders who are going to be experiencing Israel for the first time, and for myself as I will get to help facilitate these students gaining an appreciation for a country I love.
We are 3 months out from the trip, and part of the recruitment process is interviewing campus leaders for spots on Israel Uncovered. As a newbie in this role of Campus Coordinator, I didn't know what to expect. Would my engagement teams be able to pull off trip recruitment in a few short weeks? Would students be hesitant to go to Israel, after the events of this past summer? Would people think The David Project was a super sketchy organization, considering my students were inviting their peers to Israel on coffee dates? Luckily, none of my fears came true! Recruitment went way better than I could have possibly imagined. During my interviews, I spoke with students from a huge variety of organizations on campus--everything from student government to Latino cultural organizations to business clubs to community service organizations. Every single individual, from all these different facets of campus life, thought of a way to partner with other groups and bring Israel back to their communities. My biggest take-away has been that there's not only incredible interest on campus for learning about Israel, there's also endless opportunities within a wider scope of involvements on campus for partnership and dialogue about Israel.
So, dear students…campus is your oyster! With some interest and creativity, you can reach and span all the way across campus, to so many varied communities, and truly bring students together to talk Israel.

Hey, Simple Saturday pal! Look at my box of Ivory Snow nestled up in a bank of real, true-to-life, super-deep Vermont snow. Isn't that awesome? Can you believe it? Remember I'm a Texas girl, and traipsing around in snow deeper than the soles of my shoes this is a pretty big ding-dang-deal!
Enough about the winter wonderland I just left behind, ready to make some soap crayons? All we need is soap flakes, hot water (and I do mean HOT), a mixing bowl, and some kind of mold to have the soap crayons. I decided to use a muffin tin. John had the great idea to line the tin with muffin cups...good idea. Optional, but good.
Here we go. Dump the soap flakes in a mixing bowl. Gradually wet the mixture with the hot, hot, hot water. Stir like the devil to thicken the soap crayon mixture.
Pour mixture into smaller bowl add a few big squirts of food coloring and keep stirring.
Next, pour your colored soap mixtures into your mold. Place your mold in the freezer for a few hours.
Go to a movie or maybe out to eat, and when you return...BAM...you'll have some awesome soap crayons waiting for you.
Now fill up the bathtub with some cozy warm water. With your nifty soap crayons in hand, climb on in and simply draw on the tile to your soggy heart's content. Talk about good clean fun, eh?
See you next week!

I was diagnosed with soy and dairy allergies in January. I was feeling pretty great after eliminating them from my diet. going soy, dairy and gluten free wasn't hard, just had to redo my eating life. fast forward to now, almost 6 months later, and I feel that when I eat things like apples I am reacting how I used to feel when I had soy or dairy, which was a mild upset stomach. I saw some info that soy is used to wax the apples and other fruits and veggies. if this is true, I am really at a loss as all I eat are fresh fruits and veggies with protein. help!

Venezuela's Chavez faces labour wrath
By Adam Easton in Caracas
Businesses across Venezuela are closed on Monday in a general strike called to protest at President Hugo Chavez's alleged authoritarian style of government.
The 12-hour stoppage is the first in the country's more than 40 years of democracy to be joined by both the country's business leaders and unions.
With Mr Chavez's popularity slipping in recent months, it is being seen as his government's biggest test since coming to power three years ago.
"Venezuela will not stop for anybody, not least the oligarchy," Mr Chavez confidently assured listeners in his weekly radio address.
It called the strike after accusing the government of failing to consult the private sector over 49 recently-passed laws which the president says are vital for the country's economic health.
They say a land reform law and another that covers the oil sector which generates 89% of the nation's earnings are hostile to private investment.
Also controversial is a coastal law which says the state now owns all land 80 metres above the high tide mark - an area equivalent to the size of Belgium.
'Biggest confiscation'
The Fedecamaras president, Pedro Carmona, said it could mean the biggest confiscation of private property in Venezuela's modern history, and has called on Mr Chavez to modify the laws.
So far, Mr Chavez is refusing to do so, saying they represent his efforts to promote social justice in a country where more than two-thirds of the people live in poverty.
That is unlikely to happen with Mr Chavez, who remains popular with the poor.
But if the strike receives widespread backing, he may be forced to adopt a more conciliatory tone in future.

With the stock portion of my 401(k) investments, what percentage do you suggest be invested in domestic equities and what percentage in international equities?
Exposure to international equities in your 401(k) will increase diversification and long-term growth potential of your portfolio, but may also subject you to some additional risks including currency fluctuations and geopolitical uncertainty. The specific allocation to international equities should be based on the return prospects for the asset class and constrained by an individual's risk tolerance. The "appropriate" allocation to international equities continues to be heavily debated in financial literature. Nevertheless, within UIMG we consider a 20% investment in international equities to be a "neutral" allocation. It is important for investors to understand that internal investing exhibits a broad array of return and risk profiles. Many developed market countries have a risk/return profile similar to the U.S. On the other hand, emerging market countries typically have a much higher risk/return scenario. As such, we recommend that any international exposure be broadly diversified across many different countries and geographies. Fortunately, most 401(k)s offer broad-based international options.

California-based Urgent Care Center of Alameda is a user of CareRemote and its telecardiology service is being driven forward with the aid of our service. We spoke to Beau Ascarrunz, the Practice Manager about how Urgent Care Center of Alameda implements CareRemote in their clinic. Beau has over 20 years of experience in the clinical realm and her feedback was very insightful to us.
The Urgent Care Center of Alameda Story
Urgent Care Center of Alameda is an urgent care clinic that has a firm grip on the patient experience. They are dedicated to providing high-quality care that is personalized, compassionate and timely. Serving not only the community of Alameda but also the surrounding San Francisco Bay Area with urgent care needs, occupational medicine, immigration physicals, travel medicine and workers comp to name of few of their many services. Their patient population is composed of adults, seniors, and children ages 5 & up. Urgent Care Center of Alameda is open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 7 pm and Saturdays from 10 am to 3 pm.
Services are extensive ranging from basic physicals and checkups to treatment of illnesses and infections to injury care and repair At Urgent Care Center of Alameda health care providers are prepared for almost anything. It helps to have the Alameda Fire Department next door, but good triage and quick assessments are made throughout the day by an excellent clinical team that relies on strong communication, teamwork, and compassion for all patients.
Urgent Care Center of Alameda is a growing urgent care center and it is expanding its patient base. But how do they manage cardiology cases?
- Urgent Care Center of Alameda uses CareRemote for:
- EKG management of routine and STAT interpretations
- Credentialing of Cardiologists
- Quality and Auditing
- Scheduling
- Ongoing improvement
- They have benefitted from implementing CareRemote by:
- Reducing referrals to hospitals and ERs
- Cardiological expertise for patient presenting with cardiac events
- Streamlined and managed to schedule for EKG interpretations
- More accurate clinical decision making with cardiac patients
- Lower Costs of Healthcare Delivery
- Low Turnaround time
- Lower Readmission Rates
They had a difficult time finding cardiologists who could read their EKG's. "So many around have merged with larger groups and I found it difficult to connect to any provider in a group" Beau explains. Their intention was to set up a high-quality cardiac service line that would provide patient with more added value inpatient services through the use of cardiology expertise. Beau explained, how the clinic uses a thorough and stringent process for vetting potential specialty partners. She mentioned that they searched for a provider, however, the search required resources that are costly.
Following weeks of phone calls, online searches and, talking to other providers we decided to consider a managed service that could handle everything for us.
"There were not any available providers that were flexible in meeting our facilities needs. CareRemote made this possible"
Adding the Service Line to the Clinic
As patient volume increases for this popular clinic the variety of case presentation increases. Additional support is needed to handle patients in need of care. More importantly, the service line needed to be organized while allowing staff to allocate resources to other areas of care.
"The services seemed to fit exactly what we needed." CareRemote made it all seem very easy and I trusted them to go ahead and move forward." CareRemote is unique in that they offer a turnkey solution for facilities seeking to implement a cardiac service line. Particularly, the initial costs were low, the service has a reputation of being reliable so we could depend on them with our patient population. We liked the fact that CareRemote has clinical and business expertise in this field. Coordination of care can be another issue and the service is an integrated service where credentialing, screening, quality, malpractice, scheduling, training was done for us. With all of the complexities around adding a cardiac service line, we had a solution.
Discover how they found out about us and how we solved the problem
"We heard about CareRemote by a word of mouth referral. Electrocardiography (ECG) is a useful diagnostic tool in the diagnosis and management of ischaemic heart disease and cardiac arrhythmia, and its availability in the urgent care setting is now common." Routine availability of ECG at the primary care level can facilitate early referrals to secondary care while reducing unnecessary referrals where appropriate. Telecardiology has been in use in one form or another for just over a century and has multiple applications.
We believe that recent advances in telecardiology provide an accurate, convenient and cost-effective solution for ECG testing in the primary care setting. The availability of both ECG equipment and interpretational skills are not universal at the primary care level. Obtaining rapid, accurate ECG reports with specialist input remains a challenge.
For example, one study found that many primary care professionals assessed were unable to diagnose atrial fibrillation. The lack of reliable ECG testing and reporting under these circumstances may mean that some cardiac conditions are being missed. There are several reasons for having reliable ECG testing at the primary care level. Although the majority of patients with acute coronary syndrome present to secondary care, some may present to their GP.
Under these circumstances, ECG testing is a mandatory and reliable interpretation of the result may inform not just the diagnosis, but also the need for urgent referral. This is of particular importance for atypical presentations. From the perspective of diagnosing and managing cardiac disease, opportunistic screening programmes may detect ECG changes such as atrial fibrillation or left ventricular hypertrophy in high-risk individuals with conditions such as hypertension and dyslipidemia.
It may also aid the early detection of silent myocardial ischemia in specific patient groups at high risk of coronary artery disease, e.g. diabetics or patients with chronic kidney disease.
Implementation was rougher than it needed to be. Having been through much more complicated implementations and deployments. Getting setup to begin was a bit of a challenge for us. Trainers were not familiarized with how the client would be using the service and went through the process a few times before finally getting it all sorted. Customer service saved the "sale", it was close, but response time was fast and everyone was polite. In whole, the implementation did not affect our workflow and once we were setup the service went smoothly.
Rural hospitals face unique challenges such as the lack of patient volume required to justify specializes in multiple modalities and often times the unwillingness of physicians to relocate to remote communities.
Many times the high fixed costs associated with bringing specialists in-house is cost prohibitive for smaller medical facilities, such as Critical Access Hospitals. Typically, these organizations are forced to have diagnostic exams read by local specialists and family practice physicians which presents challenges in terms of study turnaround time, pricing, and patient referral pressures.
Ultimately, the result is diminished patient care and lost revenue for these medical facilities.
CareRemote provides medical facilities with direct access to specialists for diagnostic exam interpretations and clinical consultations using video technology. This scalable solution can be utilized by hospitals as needed such as 24/7, during peak periods, after hours, or during times when in-house specialists are on vacation.
How did we help you reach goals and solve the problem? Providers feel much more confident knowing a cardiologist is "on-hand" for STAT results. As a manager, my concerns with regards to liability have also been resolved. Thank you!
Taking it the next level
We'd like to see the Urgent Care Center of Alameda continue to improve. In urgent care settings, there's a lot of opportunities to reduce costs and increase revenue. CareRemote can be used to record a face-to-face patient visit. Our platform can be used to follow-up with new and existing patients. Giving urgent care centers this multi-dimensional aspect of care will allow them to expand the patient base with insurers, employers, and patients that may live outside a 3-5 mile radius of UC.
CareRemote will work with Urgent Care Center of Alameda to provide specialist care.
Use Case: The Patient appears with rash
- urgent care setting
- can see a CareRemote specialist
- no waiting for weeks for a visit or follow-up
Use Case: Patient with CHF Urgent Care setting to home
- the patient can be monitored at home (reducing costs for insurers)
- patient education and patient status updates for improved compliance
- reports are provided to the center via a report and this is added to the patient's file
- re-admissions are avoided (i.e. $2000 per day x 3 days average per patient)
Example Models for Urgent Care Centers
- Urgent care gets paid from walk-in and/or membership fees (PMPM)
- CareRemote specialist gets paid fee-for-service on a schedule (paid by insurers, employers/TPAs or patient)
- CareRemote gets paid a share of Urgent Care PMPM and a $0.50 per minute billable consult.
In summary, the urgent care group takes care of drop-ins, sells memberships, extends services into homes for follow-ups and repeat visits and offers/manages referrals. There is a lot of opportunity in healthcare at this time.
Urgent Care facilities can benefit from portable personal EHR accessible anytime with a doctor on demand from home or while traveling. Other benefits include the ability for an immediate specialty consultation.
We're working to make things better for patients and to improve the quality of care while reducing inefficiencies.
Pro-tip: CareRemote can you assist you with the services that we have mentioned. Contact us for more information.
We'd like to thank Urgent Care Center of Alameda for the feedback and a successful collaboration. If you are local to Alameda, CA. pay them a visit.

Marcus Lemonis is one of my favorite entrepreneurs and I love his saying, "Trust the process" because you can apply it to pretty much anything in life, not just business. I like to use it spiritually, on tough days when it's hard being on this planet. I remind myself to trust the process and remember that transformation takes time and that we're on a timeline set by Mother and Father God and it helps me deal with everything we're going through.
My intention with every message I create is to uplift, inspire and make you feel good when you use my bags. We all need more positivity and cheer in our lives and with every design I can contribute a piece of my loving energy to you. We are all Lightworkers in some way but you are a conscious Lightworker if you: do your best to choose love in every situation, are kind as much as possible every day and hold love and light in your heart as much as possible. And as with all of my shirts, the message is intended to energize not only the wearer, but the observer too so when people read your shirt they may (if they choose to) feel the energy of the message also.
Lightworker Lifestyle tote bags are great gifts for the Lightworker, spiritual person or anyone in your life to celebrate any occasion including birthdays, mother's day, father's day, spiritual rituals, anniversaries, congratulations, get well soon and in general times when uplifting, inspiration or love is needed.

The House of Demons!

Oh man, I loved this one. Everybody in this tale is a dark, immoral, twisted cruel, wicked character and I love it! The artwork is stunning, and the tale is dark and wonderfully twisted. I love the last panel on page 8 with the uncle and the nurse ready to murder Vincent.

This could have done without the twist. I like it, even though it's predictable, but the story could have stood on it's own without the last page.
The whole "reflection in the mirror" is a bit unannounced and kind of flimsy, but I'll give it a pass. GCD says Chic Stone wrote this.
The art: awesome. Good horror art, good "good girl" art, and an excellent use of black & white to show darkness and gloom. Fine work. This is the kind of fun, Poe-ish type of tale Skywald was so good at.

"They have traversed hundreds of miles to get here pausing only briefly in a nearby village for some dinner." A horse-drawn carriage can do maybe forty miles a day on level terrain and good roads—on mountainous terrain like the art shows, maybe half as much. If they only had dinner once after traveling "hundreds of miles" they must have been ravenous!
"His visitors step hesitantly through the drab-colored room, squinting at the dim lighting that originates from nowhere!" From nowhere? Christine is holding a candle.
Why is Sinclair DeMaine so sickly when our protagonists arrive at the DeMaine house? Eating villagers was supposed to keep him healthy and young. Was he having trouble feeding himself? But Christine was a ghoul too, and she was fine. Did he want to eat his nephew specifically? No, on page two he tells his nephew: "I don't know what to make of this, Vincent! Your coming to inquire about my health!... Have you come to learn how much space you rate in my will?" So Sinclair didn't send for his nephew.
Why was Steven, Sinclair's long lost son, at the DeMaine house the same night as Sinclair's nephew, Vincent? That's quite a coincidence.
Steven kills his father because:"...he had to be stopped! Too many villagers were disappearing!" So he went there to prevent more murders! But then Steven reveals that he himself is a ghoul, which implies that the murders will continue and immediately kills Melanie.
If ghoulism is hereditary why isn't Vincent a ghoul?
I understand that for Skywald creating a mood was more important than telling a coherent story, but this is a case where I wish the writer had worked even half as hard as the artist.

- Grant said...
This really has the feeling of a BW Italian horror film as much as anything else. In fact, that picture of Melanie in the center of Page 4 makes her look like Barbara Steele in any given role in one of those.
This might be the only weird story that has a secret panel that's been so overused it doesn't work very well as a secret panel!
- 1/19/2017
- Guy Callaway said...
You got in one, Grant. Completely like those early '60's gothic horrors from Italy.
Excellent art, and "That scream! It came from the cellar!" - how can you not love it.

I saw a robin in one of my trees yesterday. It must be one that doesn't have half a brain. It should have flown down to Georgia by now! :) My cats, who have slept stretched out long and lazy are now sleeping curled up in a ball. Yes, the summer is gone! I suppose you'll have to drown your sorrows with something in a frosty mug. ha.ReplyDelete

And your scanner is working...la la. Mine is changed with new computer so it can print and copy, but isn't speaking to computer with new wi-fi set up. Drat. I will have to chase down the proper techniques. I hate to figure these things out. Can't we all just plug in and WORK!ReplyDelete

About LAS*PIC
The Louisiana School Psychology Internship Consortium (LAS*PIC) is an APA accredited internship. We invite applications from students who have completed their graduate coursework in school psychology. During the past 25 years, LAS*PIC has provided an authentic, school-based training experience for interns. An internship experience is an essential and integral part of a training program. The relationship between the university training program and internship should be viewed as a complementary one. One of the most important decisions students will make is the selection of an internship site that best meets their professional goals and promotes their career development. As students contemplate this decision they will want to consider the site that will best prepare them for the events, conditions, and tasks they will encounter in professional settings. The internship should support development of skills for competent practice, involving a variety of professional experiences, a focus on collaborative problem solving, and continued professional development with a core internship curriculum. Additionally, the internship should provide expert advice and feedback, behavior-modeling opportunities, and congruence between what interns want and what they get in the supervisory relationship. The Louisiana School Psychology Internship Consortium (LAS*PIC) realizes that activities during an internship can shape the direction of a professional career and support a successful entry into specialization within the profession.

Great question.
As you probably know Grand Canyon University holds regional accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges & Schools. Regional accreditation is the "gold standard" of college accreditation and being that it is the most widely accepted students have the most flexibility when transferring credits or applying to graduate programs.
FAQ: Online College Accreditation
GetEducated also gathers verified student as well as public and employer review of online degree programs.
While all of these reviews are not for your specific degree program, they will give you an idea of the GCU's reputation in the broader world.
Reviews of Grand Canyon University
Finally, scope out those on LinkedIn who hold a bachelors from GCU. Ask if they had issues getting into grad school. This may be the best source of information for you!
Best of luck!
