Last week, a friend and I discussed our personal efforts to deal with life crises and chronic failings in terms of talking/not talking with others for support. This led to a comparison of male and female tendencies to clam up or to spew forth (stereotypically or not.) I thought about it and decided that I probably clam up just a bit too long in some kind of effort to be private or to pull myself up by my own bootstraps. Eventually, however, I blow the airlock on the garbage room and send my unwanted neural rinds out into the universe.
I found this analogy somewhat funny because it called up images of a raging tantrum or throwing everything out the window. I thought about the space movies where people cling to the edges of an open airlock, trying to climb back in, and all you can think is, "You should already be dead. Your eyeballs should have already burst out of your head from the lack of external pressure." The potential bystanders of an interstellar purge are often the only ones with the wherewithal to close the doors and suggest new OSHA guidelines for refuse handling. (I'd love to see their purge schedule.)
The week prior to this conversation, after many, many days of restless thoughts and resulting low emotional defenses, I'd had a long space garbage talk with someone. It felt overdue, not because it would actually solve a problem or make me feel significantly better about a problem, but because the little space commander on my bridge cannot ever keep her own counsel, despite an admiration for Jean-Luc Picard. Everything has to be run by Number One and entered into the ship's log and broadcast on all frequencies, just in case. It would be dishonest and disrespectful to the mission to do otherwise.
And there's the rub. Most space garbage is not appropriate for all frequencies and some is not acceptable on any. Toxic topics require hazmat permits and even the management of special recycling centers glove up in triplicate when a load arrives outside their bays. Blowing the airlock puts all involved at risk - invasion of privacy, hurt feelings, embarrassment, offensiveness, helplessness, repulsion. But the garbage can't sit unattended for long. There's room for another 3 week's worth but those chicken papers in the 2nd layer are starting to reek. Big time. I might never get the smell out of my hair and I'm not sure the crew will be willing to hose out the bay next time if maggots have already hatched.
Sometimes counter-actions like a night out or a day of distracting chores can reset the smell-o-meter with no peril to the mission. I often suspect that the meter is hyper-sensitive anyway, but it's a custom part so there's no use hoping for a newer model to come along. The needle always seems to creep right back up at a steady pace until the big red button is pushed, and however small an amount of accumulated crud clings to the walls, it's finally sucked out.
[Okay, the analogy falters here because "blowing" the airlock is, in fact, exposing the interior of the craft to the space vacuum. I have no idea how to work with this - I like being on the verb end of things and not the object. Stick with me, despite our obvious failure to achieve exit velocity.]
Whether constant emotional/informational purging is another symptom of late-onset OCD, indicates poor personal boundaries, or is the inevitable result of an overburdened, aging system, there's no choice. The commander must press the button and hope for the best. Hope that no one on her crew is sucked out or quits in protest. Hope that no fellow commanders call the Federation behind her back or, worse, stop taking her calls. Hope that this stubborn wad of blackened gum eventually comes free. Even if it's just for my gal on the bridge to know there's someone/something out there in the void with a larger garbage can and better charcoal filters, the button will be pushed.

If you have been following me on Instagram, you may have seen the photos I have posted of desk tops, doors, and rv stuff… you might be confused… hopefully this post will clear it up for you.
A few months ago, a blast from the past friend contacted me about helping them remodel an rv they were going to purchase. She has health concerns and needs a different climate, all the children are grown, and he has a job that can pretty much move with him. Somehow they decided "tiny house living" was for them. It seemed like a fun thing to do and so I said yes. As with all projects, it's a bit more than I anticipated, but the results are spectacular… except I am getting ahead of myself so let me back up….
Because we have the room, they asked if they could park it here while they worked on it. Of course… since when I was doing my part it also made my life easier to not have to go somewhere else and if there is one thing we have here, it's extra space to park things. So a few weeks later, they drove down to the Carolinas and picked this thing up… brand new from the lot… then they parked it in our side yard and immediately proceeded to gut it… seriously. Let that sink in.. and yes, she said I could tell you, I think she is insane.
That having been said… here are some before pictures to get you ready for everything that has been done (and I will also say, I about fell out of my chair when I looked back at them forgetting the real before). All these photos are courtesy of Campers Inn where she purchased the unit.
Here is the main cabin:
This was the view when you walked in the door. The living/dining areas are directly in front of you. The cabinet on the far wall is technically the "pantry".
This was the view standing next to that pantry and looking back towards the door. Note the odd tile backsplash over the stove. The television is on a swivel and turns around to face the bedroom if you want to lay in bed and watch tv.
A little better look at the kitchen. The countertops are solid surface and faux Carrera marble (actually lovely so they get to stay).
I have no idea why they took a picture with all the drawers and doors open in the kitchen, but the dead straight view gives you a good idea of what we had to work with.
This is a close up of the tv cabinet with the tv facing the living area. There are sliding doors on either side of it to close off the bedroom.
Speaking of the bedroom, let's head in there and close those doors:
Claustrophobic yet?
Let's watch some tv….
This is the area at the top of the bed- with the "closets" open:
and with them closed: The door fronts are mirrored… perhaps to create the illusion of more space? I am not sure.
The other side of the bed looks like this:
And here is what you see when the sliding doors are open….
Let's head back out and down the "hall" to the bathroom….
Then to the back room where there are extra sleeping quarters… double bunks on one side:
with a dinette and additional bunk on the other…
lastly, the view from the back wall towards the door and main cabin.
There here you have it… that is the total before of the rv / tiny house destruction and recreation of Summer 2017. I can not wait to show you how it's all coming together- let's just say it's much lighter, brighter, and a bit more on trend than the rv market seems to be ready for…. (though for the life of me I can't figure out why)
Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss an update!
See you soon!

A more detailed picture of the massive cuts to jobs and research at CSIRO is beginning to emerge.
Under the terms of the current Enterprise Agreement, CSIRO management are required to provide the Staff Association with written advice if there is a situation where employees may be potentially redundant.
Management have to put it in writing
The formal advice – in some cases a combination of internal restructure (IRP) and federal budget job cuts – makes for sobering reading, detailing the size and location of the cuts and the areas of research affected.
So far the Staff Association has received formal advice from Business Development and Commercialisation, Marine and Atmospheric Research, Communications, Plant Industry, Process Science and Engineering, Computational Informatics and DPAS, Education and Outreach , Divisions, Flagships and Enterprise Services, Energy Technology and Earth Science Resource Engineering including Science in Society and Minerals Systems Science, Health, Safety and Environment, Information Management and Technology and Land and Water.
In the interests of openness, transparency and keeping members informed, the Staff Association has made the written advice available online.
Management have indicated that written advice concerning cuts at Ecosystem Sciences, Astronomy and Space Science and Materials Science and Engineering and Animal Food and Health Sciences will be provided to the Staff Association shortly.
Accountability threatened?
Somewhat ironically, the requirement to provide the union with written advice regarding potential redundancies could be in danger itself.
The measure ensures transparency, accountability and provides staff and their representatives an opportunity to influence the outcome by providing additional information and facilitating redeployment, to the benefit of the organisation.
However this clause may be targeted by management in enterprise agreement negotiations, should they decide to support the Federal Government's extreme agenda of stripping workplace protections and cutting conditions.

What is an Etsy shop? And how does one go about getting one? And how does all that work? You can see I am very much not good in business matters like this. I think it would be uber fun to do something like this on the side, but have no idea how to go about it. And would I have to do my own patterns? Or could I use the ones from the books? Or what. If you can answer any of these questions I just might consider it.

Resurgent Owls will be a stern test for Millwall – Holloway
MILLWALL boss Ian Holloway says his side face a "very, very tough test" against a resurgent Sheffield Wednesday at The Den tonight.
Caretaker manager Stuart Gray, above, has been handed the Owls job on a permanent basis after leading the Hillsborough club on a eight-match unbeaten run in recent weeks.
The Lions can leapfrog Wednesday in the table with a win as they bid to avoid being sucked into the drop zone, with fellow strugglers Charlton and Doncaster also playing each other.
Holloway, who was linked with the vacant position at the Yorkshire club before he took over in south London, believes Gray's full-time appointment was just reward for recent results.
"He deserved to get the job because he has done really well there," Holloway said. "They're a fantastic club, Stuart's got them playing well, so it's going to be a very, very tough test.
"They will go from back to front very quickly with generic lexapro lawsuit Atdhe Nuhiu up top – I almost signed him for Crystal Palace in the summer – so we'll have to deal with that.
"We'll have to deal with that and then hurt them. I can't wait to get going because this is all we've been talking about for the past ten days, and the lads have enjoyed coming into work.
"Of course it's a big game because of where we both are in the table, but every single game we have got left this season is a big game.
"I don't like looking at the table but our position right now is a fact.
"I want us to look bright and fresh. We put in a terrific performance to beat Ipswich, who turned over Reading last weekend, and should have won more comfortably.
"Our energy was bigger and better than theirs, and that's got to be the case again. That is the minimum that I ask of the players."

by Pablo Bellinghausen
Basic wiring in the consumer world is usually as easy as using any lead with the right plug at either end, but doing this with professional equipment can often go wrong, sometimes dangerously so. As we've seen in our two previous instalments, there are quite a few things to consider if one wants to understand how professional analogue connections work, but a beginner can often muddle through the basics – as long as he doesn't make any of the really big mistakes!
Here is a short list of wiring deadly sins that no musician or engineer should ever do:
1. Mistreating cables
Cables are long and thin, and no matter how much money you pour into them, the laws of physics just cannot be broken. Bending them at sharp angles, running over them with heavy equipment, pulling them out from sockets violently, knotting the the ends for easier storage, and leaving them in damp and mouldy places will eventually degrade the cable's performance.
The correct way to store audio leads can be seen in the below video:
If you follow this method (called the "over under" technique), you should be able to grab one end of the lead and chuck the bundle away from you, and have the cable uncoil perfectly in front of you. Any other technique will start twisting the internal conductors over time (particularly the shielding), in which gaps can form, rendering the lead vulnerable to interference noise. In worst-case scenarios the conductors will eventually break (usually, but not always, at the connectors), and the cable will either start crackling (which causes damaging pops if phantom power is applied) or stop working altogether.
Knotting the end of the lead is a pretty bad idea; the only correct way to secure the bundle is through the use of cable ties. The velcro ones are usually the most convenient, particularly those that latch onto the cable so you don't lose them.
Cheaper leads won't necessarily sound worse (see the end of our previous instalment for more details) but they will definitely be far more fragile, and if they aren't used and stored properly they will start crackling or failing after a few uses.
2. Mixing mic and line level signals
Since XLR connectors are bigger and slightly more expensive than jacks, they are relatively rare in budget equipment. People who are unfamiliar with them will often assume they are all intercompatible and will plug a microphone into a line-level XLR input. Nothing bad will happen, but since mic level signals are over a hundred times smaller than line level ones, the sound will be so quiet it will most likely be unusable.
On the other hand, plugging line-level signals into mic-level inputs will send a very loud signal into circuitry that isn't designed to handle it. At best, you will have to keep the volume very low and end up with a bit of distortion; at worst, it can send incredibly loud and clipped audio into speakers, headphones or your ears, risking damage to them.
It's good practice to put the level down whenever plugging anything in or out, and raising the gain slowly just in case the level has been set incorrectly.
3. Plugging powered outputs into line, instrument, or mic level inputs
Since jack plugs are used for all different types of connection, and adapters to and from Speakon are sold in most pro audio shops, it is unfortunately very easy to plug the output of a power amplifier or powered mixer into devices other than passive speakers. The most common scenario is when inexperienced installers wish to replace a passive speaker and unknowingly purchase a powered (or "active") model; these have a built-in amplifier already and only require a line-level signal to work.
This is a lot worse than just mic-to-line mismatches; plugging the output of a powerful amp into the line input of an active speaker (or, in an absolute worst-case scenario, a mic input!) will send a signal thousands of times more powerful than what the input is designed to take, causing very high distortion at best, and burning equipment and/or hearing damage at worst.
Speakon to XLR male adapter: a mic preamp's worst nightmare!
4. Using instrument or line leads for speaker signals
This is sadly a common sight in rehearsal studios around the world, and is a major cause of poor guitar tone, and ultimately, of damaged amps.
The conductors used for guitar cable (particularly the shield, or ground) are very thin and are poorly suited for running several hundreds of watts through them. The sound will be degraded, and more importantly, the conductors will overheat and slowly melt, along with any internal insulation. If the amp is used at high volumes, the cable will eventually fail completely, which is deadly to valve amps; if the insulation melts enough that the conductors touch each other, this will create a short circuit, which can blow up any amp.
5. Mixing phantom power and bias voltage
Phantom power is not the only type of voltage that is used to power condenser microphones; there are two other types, which are not intercompatible:
T-power, or A–B power, is a voltage of 12 V that is sent through the hot and cold conductors of an XLR. It used to be very common in the broadcast industry before they figured out how to provide 48V with low-powered batteries. There are still plenty of T-power products in the market, and care needs to be taken when using them; mics using T-power require an in-line voltage converter to be used with standard preamps, and T-power inputs can damage dynamic mics straight away.
Plug-in power (often called bias voltage) is a standard that is used in most mini jack mic inputs available in wireless transmitters, computers, portable recorders and cameras; it sends 3 or 5 V between the hot and the ground conductors. This kind of power will not damage any mics, but will not power phantom powered models and might distort the audio from dynamic ones; models designed for plug-in power will however be damaged if phantom power is applied.
Most pro headworn or lavalier / lapel mics use bias voltage with TRS mini jack, mini XLR, MicroDot, or Micon connectors; they require an adapter with a voltage transformer to be used with standard XLR preamps. Do note that some adapters that have the correct connectors might not have the correct transformer and will therefore cause irreparable damage to your mic.
Sennheiser MZA 900P and Røde VXLR mini jack to XLR adapters;
Only the former has a transformer for use with lapel or headworn mics!
6. Sending high impedance instrument signals through long runs of multi-core cable
Sending the output of a passive guitar through a multi-core snake into a mixer dozens of metres away won't break anything, but it will sound dreadful; since it's unbalanced, the other signals will bleed through the shielding, since it's high-impedance the sound will be horribly dull, and overall noise and buzz will make the final result an unpleasant mess.
This is the reason why DI boxes exist; they lower the impedance of the signal, balance it, and lower the voltage so that it can be safely sent to the microphone inputs of a mixing desk.
DI boxes are required to send a guitar's "direct" signal through
long lengths of multicore cable without degrading the sound
7. Mixing stereo unbalanced and mono balanced connections
Mixing balanced and unbalanced mono inputs and outputs is nowadays rarely a problem, since the "cold" signal carried by the extra conductor is just dropped, at which point the connection just becomes unbalanced – many people have done this without even realising it. However, mixing mono balanced and stereo unbalanced connections (particularly on jacks, since both use the same TRS, or tip-ring-sleeve connector) will cause strange things to happen to the sound:
• if a mono balanced output is plugged into a stereo unbalanced input, then the left and right signals will be out of phase, which gives an odd, watery sound; the audio can however be recovered by only using the left or right signal. This happens most often when plugging in an XLR professional mic into a camera's mic input with the wrong lead. Playing a file like this on a device with only one speaker (which sums left and right signals) will result in no sound.
• if a stereo unbalanced output is plugged into a mono balanced input, then the left and right will cancel themselves out, leaving only the "side" part of the stereo signal; at best it will sound very strange, with decreased vocals and bass, and at worst it will completely cancel out the sound if the original sound is mono. This happens most often when plugging in a headphone output into the XLR or TRS jack input of a mixer.
The correct thing to do if you are having this problem is to buy the correct adapter lead, which will route the signals the right way:

An unmovable big toe, known as Hallux Rigidus, is the most common form of arthritis in your foot.
Hallux Rigidus occurs as a result of wear-and-tear injuries, which wear down the articular cartilage, causing raw bone ends to rub together. A bone spur, or overgrowth, may develop on the top of the bone. This overgrowth can prevent the toe from bending as much as it needs to when you walk. The resulting stiff big toe can make walking painful and difficult.
Symptoms include:
- A bump, like a bunion or callus, that develops on the top of the foot.
- Pain in the joint when active, especially as you push-off on the toes when you walk.
- Stiffness in the big toe and an inability to bend it up or down.
- Swelling around the joint.
Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications are often prescribed to reduce swelling and ease the pain. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications. Applying ice packs or soaking the foot in contrast baths (alternating cold and hot water) may also help reduce inflammation and control symptoms for a short period of time.
A stiff-soled shoe with a rocker or roller bottom design and possibly a steel shank or metal brace in the sole can help alleviate the symptoms. These types of shoes add greater support when walking and reduce the amount of bend in the big toe.
When damage is more severe, a surgical procedure may be performed to remove the bone spurs, as well as a portion of the foot bone, and allow the toe more room to bend.

This weekend was kind of a blur, so I reached for a comfort classic to refuel our bodies and minds. I picked up some ribeyes from Roseda at Roots Market, and the medly of vegetables & herbs came from my garden & the Breezy Willow CSA.
Ingredients: - 4 ribeyes, boneless - 4 kohlrabi bulbs, chopped (my garden) - 2 cloves of garlic, chopped (my garden) - 1 pint of peas, shelled (CSA) - 1 pint of of snow peas (CSA by way of the farmers market) - 10-12 leaves of Thai basil (my garden) - 1 small bunch of cilantro, (my garden) - sesame oil & seeds
Method: - while the grill heats up, chop the kohlrabi, mushroom & garlic. - bring a pot of water to a boil, salt it and put the peas & snow peas in. Cook until bright green then shock in a cold water bath. - pat your steaks dry and season with salt & pepper, get them on the grill as soon as its super hot - in a large pan warm up your oil & start cooking the kohlrabi, mushrooms & garlic. When they're cooked through, add the peas, snow peas and sesame seeds. Season with salt or soy sauce. Then turn off the heat and stir in the Thai basil & cilantro - garnish with some slices of jalapeño....this has me craving tacos... - dig in!
The steaks and veg were scrumptious! But the secret ingredient was my garlic. I'm so in love with having garlic in my garden. It grew so effortlessly, and had a big reward. Actually a few big rewards including garlic scapes!
What's at your local farmers market, or garden? Lots of great things are growing in my SSFC partners' gardens. Check out what they're growing and cooking this week!

Apple licensed iPhone, iPad patents to Microsoft, with "anti-clone" restrictionApple's patent licensing director Boris Teksler testified that the company licensed a series of patents to Microsoft, but failed to reach a licensing agreement with Samsung despite reaching out to the company in October of 2010.
Teksler said he could "count on one hand" the number of times Apple had licensed its prize patents to other companies, making its offer to negotiate a patent portfolio license to Samsung noteworthy.
Among the few companies to license Apple's patents were Microsoft, but "there was no right with respect to these design patents [for Microsoft] to build clones of any type," Teksler testified, noting that the agreement prohibited Microsoft from building devices using iPhone and iPad designs.
That "no clone" agreement might help explain why Microsoft partnered with Palm and then Nokia rather than seeking to acquire them, in its efforts to gain traction for Wiindows Mobile and then Windows Phone 7.
Industry observers expected the company to follow the iPod-like Zune with a "Zune Phone" of its own design, but that never happened. Interestingly, Microsoft is now seeking to release a tablet it named "Surface" in a bid to challenge the iPad.
Surface marks Microsoft's first foray into the tablet hardware market. | Source: Microsoft
That decision has not only ruffled the feathers of Microsoft's hardware partners, but may also create issues with Apple's "no clone" restrictions within the two companies' cross-patent licensing agreement.
Microsoft has gone so far to call Surface a "design point" that would help ostensibly its hardware partners, rather than compete with them, but it has also clearly positioned the new product concept as its own iPad, with a design that associates with Apple at least as close as Samsung's Galaxy Tab.

Irwin Mitchell's workplace illness team has successfully concluded a claim for a quality control chemist who developed asthma as a result of being exposed to dangerous fumes at work.
The exposure lasted around one to two weeks which resulted in Mrs A experiencing chest tightening, breathlessness and wheezing. As a consequence of this, she is now sensitive to domestic cleaning products and chlorine.
Satinder Bains, industrial disease specialist within the firm's Birmingham office worked on the case and secured £55,000 in compensation for Mrs A.
Commenting on the award, Satinder said: "The money received by the client went some way to compensating her. She will however suffer from the condition for the rest of her life. Not only was Mrs A forced to change jobs, her lifestyle also changed. She must avoid certain chemicals including chlorine for fear of triggering a respiratory reaction. This could quite simply have been avoided had her employer taken some reasonably straightforward steps to reduce her exposure to chemicals and hence minimise the level of risk.
"Instead she was left to carry on with her job without suitable respiratory protection and as a consequence her employment options have been severely restricted. This case does underline the importance of workers being suitably protected from exposure to dangerous fumes which may compromise their health and safety. Frankly, this incident could easily have been avoided, had some basic measures been implemented by the Company in question."
Speaking following receipt of her compensation Mrs A thanked Irwin Mitchell for pursuing her claim. She said: "I am so grateful for all the help and support Irwin Mitchell has given to me from day one. They pursued my claim tirelessly and with a great deal of expertise."
The case also highlights the growing number of employees developing occupational asthma which can either be irritant induced or as a consequence of an allergic reaction. In many cases symptoms can be prevented by the implementation of simple measures or by virtue of employers carrying out programmes of health surveillance.
If you or a loved one has suffered from respiratory problems - such as occupational asthma or silicosis - caused by conditions at work, our solicitors could help you claim compensation. See our Industrial Disease Claims page for more information.

Live Poker Tournaments & Tours
Live poker tournaments regularly take place in many casinos and poker rooms all over the world. There must be literally thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of them held every year. The collective number of live tournaments is significantly lower than the collective number of online tournaments, and there isn't anywhere near the same variety either, but there are certainly still plenty to choose from.
It's fair to say that the majority of live tournaments are relatively modest affairs, with reasonable sized buy ins and fairly small fields made up mostly of local players. Larger tournaments are not uncommon, but they do form the minority. In most poker rooms you are far more likely to see a tournament with a $50 buy in than one with a $500 buy in.
In addition to all the "normal" live poker tournaments that take place, there are also a number of high profile events too. These generally attract many of the top poker players from around the world, and typically come with high buy ins and prize pools to match. Just playing in a live tournament of this type, never mind actually winning one, is the ultimate ambition of many poker players.
On this page you will find details on several major live poker tournaments, including the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour. There is also some advice on how you can qualify for these events without having to come up with a large entry fee, and a few tips for playing in them.
World Series of Poker
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the biggest annual poker event in the world. It takes place over a period of several weeks spanning June and July, and features a range of different tournaments culminating in the Main Event. It has evolved significantly since it started back in 1970, and has grown in terms of both the number of tournaments taking place and the number of entrants taking part.
Entrance to the very first WSOP was by invitation only, with just seven of the top players of that time invited to take part. The event was organized by Benny Binion, and held in the Horseshoe Casino (which he owned). It took the form of a cash game rather than a tournament, with a fixed start and finish time. The winner, Johnny Moss, was determined by a vote.
The following year's WSOP, which was also won by Johnny Moss, was played as a Texas Hold'em freezeout tournament. Once again just seven players took part, paying a $5,000 buy in for the privilege. The buy in was increased to $10,000 in 1972, and that has remained the cost to enter the WSOP Main Event ever since. Other tournaments were added to the WSOP in 1973, and the event slowly began to grow.
The WSOP of today is barely recognizable to the early days. The event is now owned and sponsored by Caesars Entertainment, and it is held at the Rio Hotel and Casino. The Main Event alone attracts thousands of entrants, with first place carrying a cash prize of several million dollars. Many more players take part in the dozens of different tournaments which now make up the series, and the event attracts large television audiences.
World Poker Tour
The World Poker Tour (WPT) combines a series of tournaments that take place in locations all over the world. Many of the events are held in the United States, with other locations including Canada, Holland, Korea, and the United Kingdom. The exact schedule of tournaments changes from one year to the next, but always culminates with the WPT World Championship.
The first WPT season started with the $10,000 buy in Five Diamond World Poker Classic, held in June 2002. It ran until April of the following year, when the $25,000 buy in WPT World Championship took place at the Bellagio Resort & Casino. The following seasons all followed a similar timetable, taking place through the latter part of one year and the early part of the next.
A WPT season usually includes around 15 to 20 tournaments on the main tour, with buy ins currently ranging from $3,500 to $20,000. There are other events in addition to the main tour, such as the WPT Alpha8 series. This series consists of several high roller tournaments, with buy ins starting at $100,000. Other WPT events are as follows.
- WPT DeepStacks
- WPT National Events
- WPT Regional Events
European Poker Tour
The European Poker Tour is an annual series of events that are held in major cities throughout Europe. The tour schedule varies each year, as do the locations where the events take place. Frequently used locations include London, Dublin, Barcelona and Prague. Since the tour was founded in 2004 it has featured an average of roughly ten events each season.
The main tournament at each EPT event usually has a buy in of around €5,000, although there have been some higher stakes tournaments too. Each event generally includes a number of side events, with smaller buy ins.
UK & Ireland Poker Tour
The UK & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) has been running annually since 2009. Like most other tours, the exact schedule changes annually, with up to ten events taking place in venues throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland. Occasional events have taken place in Spain too. The average buy in for a UKIPT tournament is around £800.
Latin America Poker Tour
The Latin America Poker Tour (LAPT) was run for its first season in 2008. It initially featured just three events – in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Uruguay. The tour has been expanded a little since then, taking in locations including Argentina, Peru, Colombia, and Chile. The tournaments have buy ins of between $1,500 and $3,000, and usually attract fields of between 500 and 1,000 players.
Asia Pacific Poker Tour
The Asia Pacific Tour (APPT) was the first major poker series in this region when it launched in 2007, and it remains the biggest. Having started with a schedule of just four events, it peaked with 12 in 2014. The tour takes credit for organizing the first government sanctioned large scale poker tournaments in both China and Korea, and has helped to greatly improve the overall profile of poker in this part of the world.
Aussie Millions
Part of the APPT detailed above, the Aussie Millions series of tournaments is worthy of a mention in its own right. Previously known as the Australian Poker Championship, it is one of the highest profile annual poker events held outside the United States. The Main Event is the largest poker tournament in the Southern Hemisphere based on the size of its prize pool.
The Aussie Millions takes place each year at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia. In addition to the Main Event, it features a number of other tournaments as well. It is particularly well known for its high stakes events, which have included the $100,000 Challenge and the $250,000 Super High Roller.
Irish Open
The Irish Open doesn't have quite the same high profile as many of the other tournaments and tours listed here, but it can definitely be considered a major event on the international poker calendar. It has a history dating back to 1981, and it is in fact the longest running annual Texas Hold'em tournament in Europe and the second longest running in the world after the WSOP.
Sponsored by the Irish bookmakers Paddy Power since 2005, the Irish Open experienced significant growth during the online poker boom. It consistently attracts hundreds of entrants, and is widely regarded as one of the most enjoyable and atmospheric poker tournaments to play in.
Qualifying for Major Live Tournaments
Most of the poker events that we have detailed above cost sizable sums of money to enter. The buy ins are usually at least a few hundred dollars, and often as high as a few thousand. This is why the fields are typically made up mostly of serious players. These players not only have the skills necessary to do well in the big tournaments, they also have the bankrolls to support playing in them.
However, this is not to say that you shouldn't aspire to playing in a major tournament even if you don't really have the bankroll to do so with any degree of regularity. If you can afford the entry fee, and any costs associated with actually getting to the tournament and taking part, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a shot at the big time.
There is also a way to gain entry into a major event without having to come up with a large buy in, and that's by entering satellite tournaments. If you're not familiar with what satellite tournaments are, they are basically tournaments where the prize pool is made up of one or more entries into other (larger tournaments). Many of the venues that host the big tournaments run satellites in the lead up to them, and a number of online poker sites also run satellites for live events. These make it possible to qualify for a major live poker tournament for a fraction of the buy in.
It's worth noting that one of poker's greatest stories involves a player who qualified for a major tournament by playing in a satellite. In 2003, Chris Moneymaker won a seat at the WSOP Main Event after playing in an online satellite that had cost him just $40. That in itself was a solid achievement, but he actually went on to win the biggest poker tournament in the world – for a cool $2.5 million.
Tips for Playing Major Live Tournaments
Winning a major live tournament, or even just finishing in the first few positions, can be life changing. Some of the prize pools run into many millions of dollars, and with a decent finish you might win sums of money that you could only dream of. You'll have to play well though, as you'll be up against top opposition, and you'll probably need more than a little good fortune too.
This doesn't mean you have to be an amazing poker player just to stand a chance however. Obviously the top players are generally the ones that do consistently well in the big tournaments, but it is not at all uncommon for an outsider to make a final table or even win one.
The overall standard of the opposition you will face in a major live tournament will be high of course, but the strategies involved are largely the same as they are for any other tournament. If you have a solid understanding of poker strategy then there is no reason why you can't go on a deep run.
Poker tournament strategy is a complex subject so we won't get into the detail of it here. We do, however, have a few simple tips that we'd recommend you follow. These are not part of some magic formula that is guaranteed to make you do well, but they may well help your overall chances.
Stay focused
At major live events there is often a lot going on. There may be a lot of noise coming from the chatter at all the tables, there may be spectators watching and commenting from the rail, and there may even be television cameras filming the action. You need to try to ignore all of this and just concentrate on the most important thing. You are there to play poker, and that is what you should be focused on.
Believe in yourself
When you sit down at the table in a major tournament for the first time, or any other time for that matter, you may well start to have some doubts about whether you have what it takes to do well. That's normal, but you should try to ignore any doubts you may have. It doesn't matter if you are inexperienced at this level of the game, the nature of poker is such that you always have a chance of winning. Confidence and belief are important, as you don't want to be second guessing yourself every time you have a decision to make.
Keep it simple
Players often feel the need to make some kind of amazing move when they are playing in a major live event. It is not at all uncommon for players to try to pull off huge bluffs they wouldn't normally even consider, make hero calls against a "big name", or just generally attempt tricky plays that aren't really necessary. Acting in this way may well get you noticed, but that doesn't make it a good ploy. You're much better off just sticking to solid, simple play for the most part. There will probably be some occasions when you need to mix up your game a bit, but you shouldn't do it just for the sake of it.
Play to win
When playing in a major tournament, particularly for the first time, it can be tempting to play safe and just try to survive as long as possible. This is not the right approach in our opinion. Even though just finishing in the money might mean a substantial payday, making that your goal will hurt your overall play. You should forget the money involved, and play the same way you would in any tournament. You might well be up against "better" players, but if you can consistently make the right decisions then there is no reason why you can't take first place.

Letters to the Editor
Sestak strongest candidate
I strongly support Joe Sestak in Tuesday's U.S. Senate primary election because he is the strongest candidate to serve the people of Pennsylvania.
Sestak won election to the U.S. House twice, defeated the Democratic establishment in the 2010 Senate primary and came very close to beating Sen. Pat Toomey in a very bad year for Democrats. Comparatively, his primary opponent Katie McGinty came in a distant last place in the 2014 Pennsylvania gubernatorial primary, with only 7 percent of the vote.
Sestak, a three-star admiral, has served the nation in the Navy, the White House and in Congress for almost four decades. She has less than 10 years in government and has used the "revolving door" to work in the energy industry she was supposed to regulate.
Sestak has demonstrated expertise in military preparedness, national security and foreign affairs, national economic and health policies, national infrastructure needs and veterans' affairs. McGinty's background is limited to environmental policy, and she has avoided debating Sestak on foreign policy.
Sestak's campaign has focused on the nation's needs, especially the re-establishment of trust between the government and we, the people. McGinty has gone negative, running misleading attacks against Sestak.
We have a choice between Joe Sestak, with an impressive record of national service, and Katie McGinty, with a minimal resume for the U.S. Senate.
Pennsylvania and the nation need Sestak's experience and expertise, in the fight to return the Senate to Democratic control in the fall.

Medical Testing
Medical tests are an important part of a patient assessment. Medical tests allow to have a deeper knowledge of the health state of an individual.
Medical lab tests have different purposes:
- Diagnosis: a diagnostic test allows to confirm or determine the presence of a particular disease or nutritional deficiency. Examples are blood tests used in the diagnosis of diabetes, other tests used to determine the presence of a deficiency e such as anemia due to iron deficiency, among others.
- Screening: They are medical tests that are performed in order to identify a disease in a risk group. Such is the case of blood tests performed on newborns to detect high concentrations of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) in those with family history of the disease.
- Medical monitoring: is a medical test performed in order to assess the progression of a particular medical condition.
Medical tests can be obtained from different samples. The most common are the tests obtained from blood, urine, stool and sputum.
Currently, functional medicine has focused on the development of various medical tests that allow obtaining information about toxins levels in blood, blood pH, presence of fungi, genetic tests, free radicals concentration, and more.
These advances allow having an idea of the stress degree that a person is suffering. It also assesses the risk of developing chronic diseases and cellular aging.
Among the most common medical tests are:
- Amino acid test: to assess the state of body proteins and the level of catalysis or protein loss.
- Blood hormone test: to obtain information about the concentration of sex female and male hormones and the concentration of adrenal hormones, including cortisol (stress hormone).
- Blood PH test: provides information on the level of alkalinity or acidity in the blood. While blood tends to maintain an acid-base neutral level, it is possible to detect imbalance that can increase the risk of developing chronic diseases.
- Bone density test: it helps determine the health state of bones and is essential for early diagnosis of osteoporosis and osteopenia.
- Stool analysis: it is necessary to determine the bacterial load and the presence of parasites in an individual.
- Fungi test: is widely used to determine whether is a fungal infection in a particular area of the body.
- Inflammatory markers test: to detect the degree of inflammation of the arterial walls. The higher the level of inflammation, the higher risk of developing chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis.
- Test of heavy metals in hair: It is used to measure the concentrations of minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, chromium, selenium, zinc) and heavy metals in hair. The result is an estimate of the level of minerals and toxins found in the body.
- Viral load test: used to estimate the burden of virus that exists in the body. It is used to assess the concentration of virus HIV, chlamydia, herpes zoster, cytomegalovirus and hepatitis.
Sign up for medical tests
Before ordering a medical test it is necessary for your doctor to conduct an evaluation of your family history, medical history, clinical signs and symptoms and other important information about your general health. Based on these results, doctor will perform tests and indicate treatments to follow.

Collocutor Album Launch at The Forge – Monday 29th September | Win Tickets!
We've been mesmerised by the sounds of Collocutor ever since we caught a snippet of the spiritually charged Eastern sounds of 'Archaic Morning' earlier this year. Fast forward six months and not only is the full album set to debut shortly on On The Corner Records, but the label have also lined up a launch party to coincide with the release on 29th September at Camden's much vaunted Forge Music and Arts Venue. For those of you a little new to the name of Collocutor, you may want to check out an interview we conducted with main protagonist Tamar back in March. A saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist who performs with the likes of Kelis (when she performs in the UK), as well as an integral member of The Fontanelles and Dele Sosimi's Afrobeat Orchestra, Tamar has been perfecting her craft on stage for a good number of years but 'Instead', produced by label mate Emanative,

Air Conditioner on the Fritz? Maybe it's Been Stolen
Here's an embarrassing situation: Your air conditioner stops working so you call out the repair company. When they arrive, they're puzzled to see a bare concrete slab where your air conditioner used to be. Your AC has been stolen.
This happens and not infrequently, unfortunately. Thieves can sell the copper in an AC unit for about $20, meanwhile causing about $3,000 to $10,000 in damages.
It's all over the news. In Tennessee, here's a story about an alarm device for AC units.
In Louisiana, the problem is bad.
It's even happening in Newport News and Hampton, Virginia, where recent thefts have spiked.
In some states, only air conditioning professional are allowed to sell AC copper coils to scrap yards, but in other states, there is no such law.
What to do? With each problem in society comes a business opportunity, and there are companies selling alarms and AC cages to prevent this theft here, here and here. The one pictured here is called the Copper Locker.
So next time your AC goes out, take a peek outside before you call the repair folks. It could be worse than you thought.

I'm currently working on the biggest project of my life. . .
but I need your help to make it happen.
So far I've received
Have you sent in yours?
Here's how you can contribute to this project:
1. Go to any place that sells office supplies. Buy a pack of 4×6 white notecards. (SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT BUY 3×5 NOTECARDS, DO NOT BUY NOTECARDS WITH LINES, DO NOT BUY COLORFUL NOTECARDS. BUY 4×6 WHITE NOTECARDS). Here's an example, but you don't need to order them on Amazon. They're available at any office supply store.
2. Using a writing implement with black ink (personally I prefer a Sharpie, but you do what you gotta do), write in the center of the card the thing or things that you're letting go of. It can be a word, a phrase, a paragraph…it's up to you. Don't write your name on the card (we're keeping this totally anonymous).
3. Put your card (or cards… feel free to do more than one if you'd like! Or feel free to invite some friends over and make your cards together!) into an envelope and mail them to:
Viking Funeral
P.O. Box 16
Springfield, MO 65801
4. Sign up for the newsletter (in that little box directly below) so you can get the latest updates, see how the ship is coming along, and find out when we're gonna burn this thing!
Here's how:
1. Go to www.VikingFuneral.me and fill out the survey.
2. I'll print out your submission and burn it with the ship.
3. That's it! Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy!
Stay up-to-date on the project, see the submissions,
and find out when this thing is gonna burn!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can the notecards have lines on one side?
A. No! What you're looking for are 4×6 inch notecards that are blank on both sides. Here's an example, but you don't need to order them on Amazon. You can get them at any office supply store.
But yeah, don't get the ones with lines. Don't get 3×5 notecards either (those are the most common notecards). Get WHITE, 4×6, BLANK NOTECARDS.
Q. When will the ship be burned?
A. Before I can burn the ship, I have to finish the ship (obviously). I've hit some delays with that (I've had to start building the ship THREE DIFFERENT TIMES!) but now I'm making progress again.
Either way, it's going to take awhile. The ship is ENORMOUS, and I'm working really hard to make it look good. My guess is that it'll be done sometime in the spring of 2019.
Q. Can I come to the ship burning?
A. Maybe! Since I haven't set a date or location yet, the details still haven't been nailed down. I'm still not sure if this is going to be a public thing or a private (family/friends) thing. Either way, the whole thing will be recorded, and it'll probably be livestreamed for those who can't make it as well.
Q. Can I come see the ship as you're building it?
A. Yes! Part of why I'm taking a year to build the ship is because I want people to be able to see it before it goes up in flames. I'll be hosting several open-studio events throughout the year for people to be able to come check out the project. These will all be announced via the newsletter, so sign up above!
Q. Can I use this project in my classroom?
A. Um, ABSOLUTELY! This is a great project to help students work through letting go of past mistakes, looking towards the future, etc.
In fact, this project is great for all KINDS of groups. Classrooms, schools, companies, book clubs, really ANY group of people that is interested in putting the past behind them and looking forward to a better future.
Also, feel free to use the video to help explain the project! You don't need to request permission or anything silly like that.
Q. How did you end up with P.O. Box 16?!
A. I have no idea! In a city with over 160,000 people, somehow I ended up with a double-digit post office box. What are the odds? Either way, I'm holding onto this until I die.

Film fans rejoice!
Sid Ganis, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced at a press conference yesterday in Beverly Hills that the "Best Picture" category for next year's Oscars for films released in 2009 will grow to 10 nominees.
The Academy voters used to nominate more than five films to compete for Best Picture until the 1944 Oscars.
1943 was the last time 10 nominees competed.
That year "Casablanca" won the award over "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Heaven Can Wait," "The Human Comedy," "In Which We Serve," "Madame Curie," "The More the Merrier," "The Ox-Bow Incident," "The Song of Bernadette," and "Watch on the Rhine."
"Having 10 Best Picture nominees is going to allow Academy voters to recognize and include some of the fantastic movies that often show up in the other Oscar categories, but have been squeezed out of the race for the top prize," said Ganis.
The 82nd Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Tuesday, February 2, 2010, with the Oscars presented Sunday, March 7, 2010 at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.
