I'm curious if there is any way to create such a network so that if one machine is hosting a couple of VM's and one of the VM's gets attacked, it doesn't take down the network. Is there anyway to do this?
Simple answer: Yes.
With load balancing you can handle pretty much handle anything. The only hard restriction is your connection needs to be greater then the flood of icmp packets.
This being said it's very expensive to setup and far to long to explain in this format. If this is personal or a low traffic page say under 2 mil consider 3rd party solutions like cloud flare
Note: I'm not affiliated with cloud flare and don't personally use their service. I know of them through a speech one of their engineers gave regarding load balancing
Simple answer: No.
If your pipe gets flooded you are going to go down.
Best Fix: Buy hardware dDoS protection. :)

Flashback: McCain wanted 'as much possible campaigning' with Bush.
Interviewed by Bloomberg's Al Hunt this weekend, Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) campaign manager Rick Davis said McCain would no longer campaign with President Bush:
Q: Do you expect to campaign with President Bush this fall?
DAVIS: No. Again. We've turned that page. I mean, that page is gone.
The campaign's position is a stark departure from McCain's rhetoric just six months ago when he received Bush's endorsement. At the time, McCain said he said he would have "as much possible campaigning" with Bush:
McCAIN: I intend to have as much possible campaigning events together, as it is in keeping with the President's heavy schedule. And I look forward to that opportunity. I look forward to the chance to bring our message to America. … I hope that the President will find time from his busy schedule to be out on the campaign trail with me.
Watch a compilation:
According to a September USA Today/Gallup poll, 64 percent of voters are concerned that McCain "would pursue policies that are too similar to what George W. Bush has pursued."

I read the other discussions and followed the examples closely but I'm not having success using SSH.
I've recreated the keys a few times and double checked the file paths. Unfortunated I continue to get the message "Private key incorrect for root". Because I'm logging in as root, this should work.
Being new to Ubuntu server, I know probably something simple because I can't my SSH keys to work without this plugin either.
What do you suggest?

Walters says several teams have shown interest in Harkless, but the small forward wants to re-sign with Portland. However, talks with the Blazers have shown "no movement" in recent days. If Harkless receives an offer from another team, the Blazers will have three days to decide whether to match the offer.

One of the most interesting panel discussions at the recent Video Ad Summit was "Reaching Audiences at Scale: Will TV Succeed in the Digital Age?" which included Adam Gerber (SVP, Client Development & Communications, ABC), Mike Germano (Chief Digital Officer, VICE Media), Melissa Kihara (Global VP of TV & Video Products, Xaxis), Bob Toohey (President, Verizon Digital Media Services) and Lorne Brown (Founder and CEO, Operative) moderating.
It's no secret that video viewing is fragmenting and linear TV is declining as new video sources proliferate and behaviors change. Still, TV networks are running fast, distributing programs in new ways, investing heavily in data to better enable targeting by advertisers and leveraging social media to better engage viewers.
As Adam pointed out, research suggests that scale in long-form ad-supported online viewing is dominated by TV networks. But as he also pointed out, scale in data and audiences is dominated by platforms like Facebook and Google. This is one of the key sources of tension for advertisers - how to combine the best of both, to achieve scaled, targeted, efficient, effective, trusted advertising in premium video?
The panelists agreed that for lots of reasons the market is nowhere close to reaching this nirvana state. They explored all the reasons why, along with things that are being done to move the ball forward. For anyone trying to better understand how TV is evolving in the digital age and what role it will play, it's a fascinating discussion.

Turner announced this morning that it will launch a new ad-free SVOD service this Fall dubbed FilmStruck, which will be managed by Turner Classic Movies and exclusively draw on movies from Criterion Collection. According to the release, FilmStruck is targeted to "diehard movie enthusiasts who crave a deep, intimate experience independent, foreign and art house films."
A Turner spokesperson confirmed that Criterion's 1,000 movie catalog will move over from Hulu in November, where it has been under an exclusive deal announced in February, 2011 and extended in April, 2014.

The never-ending tussle between pay-TV operators and sports TV networks over escalating carriage fees is back in focus due to the standoff between Comcast and the YES Network, which has the rights to broadcast New York Yankees games, among others. Comcast dropped YES last November, leaving approximately 900K of its New York area subscribers without access to YES. With the Yankees' opening day one week from today, the standoff is going to gain much more attention.
As with other sports TV carriage disputes, this one boils down to money and audience. Comcast is arguing that YES's demand for a reported $6 per month per subscriber isn't justified given its ratings. Last November Comcast said that over 90% of its subscribers didn't watch the equivalent of even one quarter of the 130 games YES broadcast in 2015. Nielsen said that YES averaged 250K viewers in 2015, a decrease of 44% vs. its peak of 450K in 2007.

TV programmers like Viacom and AMC are in the same position that print companies like The New York Times and Conde Nast were ten years ago. As consumers moved to reading content online, the legacy publishing companies figured they could replicate their business on a new channel. No one could believe that a tech company with no real content could compete for brand advertising budgets. We all know how that played out.
Now, consumers are cutting the cord and moving to digital channels to watch TV. There is more to lose on both the buy and sell side during this time around. TV advertising is considered by advertisers to be the holy grail of inventory, and they don't want to lose it any more than the TV companies do. However, the siren song of audiences at scale and with technical ease could change their minds.

AT&T has partnered with video ad tech provider Videology to enable advertisers to buy ads on linear TV across over 130 different cable TV networks in 26 million DirecTV and U-Verse homes. At Videology's Full Frontal Video event in NYC this morning, I did an on-stage interview with Jason Brown, VP, National Advertising Sales for AT&T AdWorks about the new initiative and how it will be implemented.

NBCU made a big move to embrace audience-based buying yesterday, announcing that select advertisers and agencies will be able to use data and automation to buy ads on linear TV. The expansion of the company's NBCUx platform represents the most significant step by a TV network group yet to adopt a programmatic approach to buying traditional TV ads. NBCU called its initiative "unprecedented."

On yesterday's Time Warner Q4 '15 earnings call, HBO CEO Richard Plepler said that HBO Now as at "about 800,000 paying subscribers." It was the first specific subscriber number the company has shared since launching in April, 2015. While Plepler positioned the 800K as significant, no surprise, given HBO Now's expectations, there's been much debate about whether the 800K is in fact, disappointing.
I've been bullish on HBO Now's opportunity since its launch, but I think there are a number of things that held things back during the launch year. Most significant is lack of marketing and promotion. HBO Now came out of the gate strong, launching with Apple TV and establishing a presence both online and offline. In those first few months it was hard to miss an ad for HBO Now.

I'm pleased to present the 295th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
First up this week we dig into Yahoo's decision to write off $42 million related to 3 of its long-form original programs, including the high-profile "Community." As Colin and I explain, Yahoo faced a lot of headwinds from the start in making these a success. Yahoo's bellyflop is actually not a big surprise and it's a yellow flag for others interested in providing long-form content.
We then transition to talking about why HBO Now's distribution with large pay-TV operators / broadband ISPs is stymied. At the WSJD conference this week, HBO CEO Richard Plepler lamented the company's lack of progress. But as I explain, HBO Now represents more cord-cutting risk than upside opportunity to most operators (for more color on that, see here). Colin disagrees and thinks operators should be more aggressive. We have a healthy debate.

I'm pleased to present the 290th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
On this week's podcast we do an in-depth Q&A with our guest Lee Berke, who runs LHB Sports, Entertainment and Media, Inc. Lee has helped dozens of teams create and implement sports TV networks. He has a wealth of insights into the role of sports in pay-TV and how online and mobile video are causing leagues and teams to adjust their traditional distribution strategies.
Sports are a key driver of increased pay-TV rates and as VideoNuze readers know, I've been writing for years (examples here, here, here) about the billions of dollars non-fans pay each year in the form of a "sports tax" - subsidizing expensive sports networks they never watch. With the advent of robust, inexpensive OTT entertainment programming options, the pay-TV multichannel bundle has come under more pressure than ever, with subscriber losses peaking in Q2 '15.
In our Q&A with Lee we explore these issues and how he sees OTT impacting teams, leagues and sports TV networks. Lee believes TV will remain the most significant revenue source in sports for the foreseeable future, but also sees the leagues more aggressively experimenting online to serve a new generation of fans. Lee also describes how he's advising teams, particularly on how to maintain flexibility and capitalize on new technologies.

Yesterday pay-TV network EPIX announced a multi-year distribution deal with Hulu that will kick in on October 1st, as EPIX's current deal with Netflix phases out.
Perhaps most noteworthy here is that in the current Wild West environment where everyone and their brother are launching standalone SVOD services, EPIX has remained disciplined in choosing to instead team up with a large SVOD player (EPIX has a separate SVOD deal with Amazon dating to 2012 as well).

When Sesame Workshop announced its deal with HBO last week, everyone seemed to have an opinion about whether another "poor door" had been created, this time for Elmo and his iconic friends.
It's an interesting societal debate, but what was more intriguing to me was that Sesame's deal with HBO signaled that its own SVOD efforts had not delivered material results (and with the new HBO deal, I'd guess will likely be phased out at some point). That in turn reinforced my belief that the niche SVOD model is extremely difficult given the rise of "super" SVOD services like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu.

Viacom announced that it has added 3 new executives to its Viacom Vantage data-driven ad product, which was itself announced in late April. Joining Viacom are Bryson Gordon as SVP of Data Strategy, Gabe Bevilacqua as VP of Product Management and Kodi Foster as VP of Data Strategy. Together they'll oversee development of new data products to micro-target viewers which are overseen by Kern Schireson, EVP of Data Strategy and Consumer Intelligence for Viacom Media Networks.

Yesterday, the National Hockey League and Major League Baseball Advanced Media announced a multi-faceted 6-year deal in which MLBAM will pay $600 million to take over distribution and operations of NHL's GameCenter LIVE and Center Ice online subscription services (including via pay-TV operators), manage all of NHL's web sites, manage all of NHL Network's operations (including taking over ad sales) and jointly develop new digital products. As part of the deal, NHL is reportedly getting a 7%-10% stake
in MLBAM, which is also reportedly going to be spun off (finally) from Major League Baseball. (clarification, per MLBAM spokesman, NHL's stake is in BAM Tech, the technology arm of MLBAM)
That's a mouthful, but what it amounts to is a major expansion in MLBAM's scope of business, instantly morphing the company from being primarily a provider of technology services supporting rights-holders to being a multi-platform distribution company in its own right. As such, MLBAM may have just become the most disruptive force in sports TV, signaling to every broadcast and cable TV network which has an interest in sports TV - from CBS, ABC, NBC, ESPN and on down the line - that the ground just shifted underneath them. Here's why.

I'm pleased to present the 284th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
This week we turn our attention to ESPN, which was prominently in the news on Monday, when Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that he believes it's inevitable that long term ESPN will be sold directly to consumers, instead of in the traditional multichannel bundle. To be fair though, Iger wasn't ready to put any timeline on this move, so it's clearly not happening any time soon.
As Colin and I discuss, there are many online video trends unfolding that make ESPN's world more complicated. These include a decline in the number of ESPN subscribers over the past few years due to the proliferation of OTT entertainment apps that are diminishing the appeal of the multichannel bundle, pushback by pay-TV operators focused on cost containment and skinny bundles (e.g. Verizon's Custom TV), the aggressive moves by leagues to roll out their own online-only streaming packages, the wide availability of sports-related information online and more.
We hash out what all of this means to ESPN and where things are likely heading from here.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…"
If you're looking for a stark illustration of the diverging fortunes of the online video and pay-TV industries - as well as the generational attention/passion gap between the two - then comparing the buzz out of last week's 6th annual VidCon with the poor early Q2 video subscriber numbers from big pay-TV operators is about as good as it gets.
For those not familiar with VidCon, it's the annual convention of YouTube creators, fans and increasingly advertisers that want to weave themselves into this community. This year VidCon drew somewhere between 20K-30K attendees (up from 1,200 just 5 years ago) to the Anaheim Convention Center, with the vast majority being teenagers seeking to get up close to their favorite YouTube celebrities for a coveted selfie.

Disney CEO Bob Iger was interviewed on CNBC's "Squawk Box" this morning (see below embed) and offered a surprising long-term vision for ESPN, saying, "Eventually, ESPN becomes a business that is sold directly to the consumer, where there's an engagement that ESPN will know who their consumers are, will use that information to customize the product to enable personalization, to engage more effectively and offer advertisers more value as well. That's longer-term. I think there's an inevitability to that, but I don't think it's right around the corner."
It was the first time that I've heard Iger articulate so clearly how he sees ESPN's future unfolding. Iger made the comments in the context of describing the huge distribution, promotion and consumption changes roiling the media landscape. Iger observed that despite a fall-off in pay-TV subscriptions, he doesn't see the ecosystem changing significantly in the next 5 years, and that it was impossible for anyone predict with conviction how the media world will look 10 years from now.

I'm pleased to present the 281st edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
Earlier this week SNL Kagan released an updated forecast of fee increases for pay-TV operators to carry broadcast and TV networks. Using that data Colin modeled what DirecTV's programming costs would be and how they would translate into higher subscriber rates and lower margins.
No surprise, Colin's analysis further highlights how expensive pay-TV is becoming. Colin and I discuss how this directly translates into more cord-cutting and cord-nevering given the range of inexpensive, high-quality OTT options.
All of this is happening against a backdrop of kids abandoning TV altogether. That trend was illustrated by new research from Miner and Co. Studio, which revealed that 57% of parents of kids age 2-12 say their kid prefers a device OTHER than the TV to watch video. Worse, almost half of these parents said sometimes as a punishment they take their kid's device away and instead make their kid watch TV. We discuss the implications. (make sure to watch Miner's video interviews too)

These are complicated times for video content providers, with more opportunities to monetize their video inventory and partner with advertisers, yet more complexity as well. How to succeed in this rapidly evolving environment was the topic of our Video Ad Summit panel, "Modernizing the Monetization of Video: The Content Provider's Perspective."
The session included Lorne Brown (Founder & CEO, Operative), Sean Holzman (Chief Digital Revenue Officer, Bonnier), Stephano Kim (SVP, Ad Operations & Chief Digital Strategist, Turner Broadcasting), David Morris (Chief Revenue Officer, CBS Interactive) and Lisa Valentino (Chief Revenue Officer, Conde Nast Entertainment), with Tom Herman (CEO, DashBid) moderating.
The wide-ranging discussion touched on various topics including how campaign success metrics are changing, why performance and engagement are paramount, how content providers are creating their own data management platforms and selectively exposing their first-party data, why the consumer is really in the driver's seat, the role of branded entertainment, the challenges of moving to a direct-to-consumer approach at scale, ad-blocking and much, much more.

I'm pleased to present the 279th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
Change is everywhere in the video and TV industries and this week 6 different news items hit our radar, which Colin and I think illustrate how quickly things are moving. In today's podcast we discuss each of them and why we think they're significant.
The items include continued falling linear TV ratings as measured by Nielsen, Hulu distributing Showtime, new research showing that Netflix's audience is size larger than those of broadcast TV networks, Tennis Channel's converged TV Everywhere-OTT model, HBO premiering 2 new shows on Facebook and Ooyala's new data showing that 42% of video views are now on mobile.
(note: Colin wanted to clarify one point - when citing Netflix viewership, he said it was 10 million hours streamed per quarter when it's actually 10 billion hours)

The Black community has lost two prominent voices. Youtube starsDomineque Banks (left), known by her screen name Longhairdontcare2011 lost her battle with cancer on April 9. Banks had millions flocking to view her videos which chronicled her hair journey. The advocate for natural hair managed gave styling and maintainance tips to her followers, while advocating for women of color to embrace their natural hair. She was 27.
Banks' death came days after Karyn Washington (right), founder of the blog For Brown Girls died of an apparent suicide. Despite being just 22, Washington was an influential voice, especially among darker skinned women, encouraging them to embrace themselves, their complexion and strive to be empowered. She gained popularity as well for her #DarkSkinRedLips campaign counter attacked a rapper stating dark skinned women should avoid red lipstick.

SOURCE: Fry, Carrol L. "Fictional Conventions and Sexuality in Dracula." The Victorian Newsletter, no. 42 (fall 1972): 20-2.
In the following essay, Fry maintains that the latent sexuality of Dracula is an important part of the novel's popular appeal.
To the general reading public, Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of the best known English novels of the nineteenth century. It was an immediate best seller when it appeared in 1897, and the frequent motion pictures featuring the machinations of Count Dracula since the 1931 film version of the novel have helped make vampire folklore very much a part of the English and American popular imagination. The work's fame is in part attributable to its success as a thriller. The first section, "Jonathan Harker's Journal," is surely one of the most suspenseful and titilating pieces of terror fiction ever written. But perhaps more important in...

Christian Rome Afternoon Tour
Explore the highlights of early Christian Rome on this 3-hour coach and walking tour. With an expert guide, visit the magnificent Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and Basilica of St John Lateran, two of Rome's great ancient churches. View the Holy Stairs; the 28 marble steps that Jesus is said to have climbed to his trial; and follow the ancient Appian Way to visit Rome's ancient catacombs. Descend into these eerie tunnels used as cemeteries and hideouts by the early Christians and witness first hand their burial niches, frescoes and other hidden treasures.
- Hotel pickup included
- Informative, friendly and professional guide
- All entrance fees included
Meet your guide in central Rome or enjoy a pickup from your central Rome hotel. Then, board your air-conditioned coach to start your 3-hour tour.
Get an interesting lowdown on Rome's Christian heritage from your guide as you head to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore on Esquiline Hill. Dating from the 5th century, this magnificent church is one of Rome's five great ancient basilicas, and considered second only to St Peter's Basilica for beauty.
Marvel at the exterior façade and hear how the church was among the first dedicated to the Virgin Mary that sprang up across the Roman Empire in the 400s.
Then, head inside to admire the interior. See the stately columns and sumptuous chapels, and view the golden mosaics, many depicting the life of Christ.
Continue to the Holy Stairs (Scala Sancta), the 28 marble steps that, according to legend, Jesus climbed to his trial in Pontius Pilate's palace. View the wood-encased stairs and then visit the ornate Basilica of St John Lateran, the church that was dedicated to Christ in 318 and the first to be built in Rome.
Next, trace the Appian Way, the famous ancient Roman road, passing the Chapel of Domine Quo Vadis, reputed to stand where St Peter saw a vision of the risen Christ.
Arrive at Rome's catacombs – the nearly 186 miles (300 kilometers) of tunnels used as burial chambers and hideouts by early Christians. Then, depending on accessibility, explore the San Castillo, Santa Domitilla or San Sebastiano tunnels to see the burial niches, frescoes and other treasures lying inside.
Lastly, take in views of the Baths of Emperor Caracalla, the ruins of a 3rd-century Roman bathhouse. Then, end your tour at the start point or your choice of several city-center locations.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Jay Lovinger is on a losing streak, and it isn't pretty. It's so ugly, in fact, it's going to take him three columns to work his way through it. Last week was Part I. Today is Part II of Jackpot Jay: Into the Abyss.
"We all know people who fail to show a lifetime profit in this game, yet insist they are just unlucky. They refuse to acknowledge that maybe there are gaping holes in their games. That maybe it isn't just bad luck that keeps costing them their chips. That maybe, just maybe, the other players are simply better than they are. These people, the ones that won't put in the hard work needed to improve, are the real losers."
-- from "The Making of a Poker Player" by Matt Matros (to be published in April of this year by Kensington)
Well, yeah, Matros is right. But suppose you have put in the work ... you've analyzed your play for leaks ... you've made changes, tried to correct your misbegotten ways ... slowed down (or speeded up) ... moved down in class (or up) ... visited new venues (or returned home to prematurely forsaken ones) -- in other words, done everything in your power, however meager, to fix what is broken and discard what is insensible.
And you still keep losing and losing and losing.
Then what?
Well, then you have to deal with Jackpot Jay's 10 Levels of Emotional/Psychological Deterioration, which I can tell you from recent personal experience are not pretty.
Though the 10 Levels are somewhat messy -- several can happen simultaneously, and they appear in different sequences in different cases -- they almost always start the same way. In the beginning comes ...
1. Denial
For the first couple of months of my five-month losing streak, I told myself that I was just running bad.
And I was right about the "running bad" part. It was the "just" part where I was off-base.
Can we stipulate here -- among friends -- that no players can lose practically without interruption for five months straight, at everything from no-limit to limit ... from $20-$40 down to $3-$6 ... at 10-handed, six-handed, five-handed, head-to-head ... at turbo and "normal" speed ... in sit-n-go tournaments online and $230 one-table satellites at Foxwoods ... in tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $5 to $10,000 ... without some bad luck, no matter how lousy they are?
I thought so.
Can we also stipulate -- among friends -- that no players can lose practically without interruption for five months straight unless their game has a few holes in it?
But what are the holes? What the !@#$%&!@ are they?
This brings us to the second emotional/psychological phase of long losing streaks ...
2. Frustration
The most obvious change I made in my poker game, which coincided with the beginning of my long losing streak, was to be more aggressive. As longtime readers of this column will recall, I had been eerily successful at cashing in Act III tournaments at Foxwoods (at $10,200 per cash), mostly because my survival-oriented game was perfectly suited for Act IIIs, in which all who cash -- whether with the most or the least chips -- win the same amount.
However, it seemed pretty clear that if I wanted to do well in tournaments, where finishing in the top three once is better than barely finishing in the money 10 to 15 times, I'd have to play more boldly than I had up until that point in my short pro career. I was further encouraged to be more aggressive by a talk given by Matros, Greg Raymer and Russell Rosenblum at last fall's FARGO convention, during which they discussed the importance of taking advantage of even relatively small edges, even if it means risking your tournament life in the process. This is especially true for players like me, less experienced and talented than the best players, who can afford to wait for bigger edges -- who, in other words, need not risk their tournament lives taking only a small edge from far lesser players.
So off I went -- the new Mr. Macho -- and proceeded to land, hard, on my face. (Those who know me personally will tell you that's like bringing coals to Newcastle.) Suddenly, I couldn't win -- or even place or show -- to save my life. During the two-week run-up to the $10,200 WPT tournament at Foxwoods in November, I played in 20 or 30 small-stakes one-table satellites ($125 and $230 buy-ins) and Act IIs ($150 buy-in), and only finished in the top three one time. (I was second, with about a third of the chips, in a $230 buy-in one-table satellite, and eagerly accepted a $700 chop from the chip leader.)
Obviously, something was wrong. But what? As far as I could tell, I was gambling only when the pot odds were in my favor. I wasn't making obvious mistakes -- at least, nothing that was obvious to me -- and people were not taking advantage of any betting patterns. (To be honest, I wasn't lasting long enough most times to exhibit any betting patterns at all.)
I knew it couldn't just be bad luck (could it?), so I guessed that, at this stage of my development, I was not suited to carry off an aggressive style of play. (Not the right temperament? An inability to follow through properly?) So I decided to back off. First, I avoided the bigger buy-in satellites ($500 and $1,000), even though I had done well in those in Vegas back in May when I was just starting out. I also resisted the urge to buy in to some of the $1,000 and $2,000 preliminary tournaments. Then I cut back on the small-stakes one-table tournaments.
Then I started playing in very small stakes tournaments ($60) at a quasi-illegal New York City club.
Nothing worked. I kept losing -- three small stakes tournaments in a row without making it to the back half of the field. At which point, frustration turned into ...
3. Anger
Some would claim, of course, that anger is just another form of denial -- or some kind of emotional cover-up. One does not wish to accept responsibility for one's own failures, so one gets angry at the perceived (really, misperceived) cause.
I can dig it. But actually, I was angry at myself. To break my streak, I tried a few "editors-only" free-roll tournaments. Nothing, nothing and nothing, even though most of the other players in these tournaments barely knew which hands beat which ... and, in point of fact, didn't even care. I was beginning to feel ...
4. Impotent
... a eunuchlike state of being that no red-blooded can-do American male can tolerate for long (unless there's money in it). At which point, helplessness is replaced by ...
5. Defiance
"Goldarnit," I said to myself. (Actually, what I said was "!@#$%&!@ it!") Then I said, "I am not going to let this happen to me."
And then I uttered these fateful words: "I'm going to the one place I know I can't lose -- online poker. Those people haven't the vaguest idea what they are doing -- especially the drunk and stoned ones who come out at night and think they are playing a video game."
|Got a poker problem or want more details about Jay's poker adventure? Send in your questions and comments.
And -- stop me if you've heard this one before -- I can't really figure out why.
I can understand why an unimaginative game like that would preclude me from winning at medium stakes (not to mention high ones), but why I have been unable to hold my own -- or, at least, win once in a while -- at, say, $3-$6, is beyond me. Whatever. One thing I can't deny is: It wasn't working. Which is why I kept cutting back and cutting back.
But still, I continued to lose. Under those conditions, defiance, no matter how well-intended, begins to lose its momentum, to be replaced, naturally enough, by ...
6. Depression
To me, depression is a crucial demarcation point, pokerwise. Once you get to that state, it becomes almost impossible to win, a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy.
When things got really bad, when I found myself losing the 30 big bets I had allotted myself for a particular session of $3-$6 in an hour or, at most, two, I began to look for bad things to happen. Even when I lost at $20-$40 or $10-$20, against, presumably, better players back in ancient times before this losing streak began, it would take at least a day or two for me to lose my 30-big-bet stake.
Do you know what I mean?
I'd keep track of my percentage of winning hands in a session and, as almost inevitably seemed to happen, when that percentage would drop below half of what it should have been -- say, less than 7 percent in a six-handed game -- I'd begin to feel like a martyr, as if there was something noble about my being able to tolerate that kind of "unfair" treatment at the hands of fate. God hated me, and that made me special in some distorted way.
I remember one time when I won a single hand out of more than 100 hands while playing six-handed. It got to the point that I really didn't want to win, that I'd rather be a spectacular loser on an almost unimaginable scale than just your ordinary run-of-the-mill modest loser. I wanted to be the Joan of Arc of losers, not just another Martha Stewart.
|Have you become obsessed with poker, too? Well, no worries -- Page 2 has launched its very own poker section. Check it out.
When I finally realized what was going on -- depression is not an easy thing to see when you are in the middle of it -- I descended yet another couple of steps into darkness ...
7. Self-pity
Having a column like this is a double-edged sword. On the positive side, I get to complain as much as I like. I don't have to suffer in the cold, hard silence that tortures most online losers, sitting there alone in their early-morning loneliness (and their underwear).
In other words, I whine, therefore I exist. (As Descartes might have put it: Whineto ergo sum.)
On the negative side, because of our unwritten compact -- that I will try to tell you the truth, no matter how painful -- my humiliation will be there for all to see and read about and cluck over, until the Jackpot Jay archives shall perish from this earth.
Which brings us to ...
8. Self-loathing
... a wretched state of existence that comes when you know you've failed in a very public, irrevocable way ... failed, in other words, to such an extent that all those who spoke and thought ill of you -- all the jealous and dismissive bloggers, the nasty RGPers, the "Jay, you suck" readers, all the people who are furious that I get to write this column and follow my dream -- are proved right, and must be agreed with.
I haven't got the slightest idea what I am doing, and don't -- and never did -- deserve the chance.
That hurts, of course. Hurts bad. But not as bad as Level 9 ...
9. Resignation
... wherein you've given up, totally. Can't even imagine ever winning again. Don't even want to try.
When I reached Level 9 last week, I was considering giving up the game for good. Of course, since I have this column to write (and a book), since I have a job to do, I still had to do something, because nothing is hard to describe in 2,000 words, no matter how well-chosen those words are (unless, of course, you are Samuel Beckett).
So I decided to go down to a place I thought I'd never have to visit -- the $5.50 buy-in Round 1 of the progressive one-table satellite tournament on Captain Cooks, which, if I finished first or second, would reward me with an entry into the $27.50 Round 2 (yes, the self-same Round 2 I had played 20 straight times without once finishing first or second and thereby advancing to Round 3, a place I am obviously destined never to visit).
On the third hand, in late position, I looked down and saw ...
|Confused by some of the terms Jay uses in his poker columns? Get their definitions right here.
The flop came ...
10-9-4, rainbow.
Somebody bet $50, and I raised to $200. (In an earlier life, back on Level 3, for example, I might have considered slow-playing this hand, despite the straight draws that might be out there -- perhaps a good example of why I've been on such a bad streak.)
Everybody folded to the original bettor, who made it $400. I went all-in for my last $1,280 and he called and turned over (or, to be more precise, the computer turned over for him) ...
What else?
Well, hey, sometimes you've just got to laugh. Which takes us to ...
10. Ironic detachment
... a schizoid place which has, to recommend it, one very fine quality: the possibility of leaving your old self behind and finding a new beginning.
Stay tuned.
Next week's column: Part III -- Expert players and faithful readers alike offer Jackpot Jay advice ... and maybe even a bit of hope ... as he tries to answer the existential question, "What next?"
Last week: lost $5.50 playing online
Online total: minus $5,655.50
Career-to-date: plus $13,333.50

I want to have picture of messages, that means a form would be added to my post panel that I can upload a picture for a message, how I may handle it/
Underneath the post box, look for an "upload" form. That will do it.
no, I want to have thumb and large pictures of my posts, customized where i want them to be shown,
and I want to have them at the top of my messages posted and shown in the front page,
Like news agencies CMS that they have option to have both thumb and large images except the images used in the post.
You want pictures of your posts, or pictures in your posts?
I think you mean pictures in your posts. The upload form will do it. Upload an image. Then, it gives you the option of inserting a thumb, linked to a full-size image.
If that's not what you're trying to do, then I'm confused
sorry i think you haven't got my point
You know, I want to impute a picture to a message, that I can manage that picture anyhow I want, for example, in my template I want to have my picture at the side of my message title or anything
OK, there are no "messages" in WP. There are posts, Pages and comments.
You want the author's picture in the post's metadata section?
by message I mean my post from post-new.php page in the admin part.
I want to manage a picture for each post, and I cold manage it as a separated item from my content that would be possible for me to edit my front page template in the way that, some of those pictures would be at right, some at center and so.
you have to create classes for that in your style sheet.
To have an image aligned to the left you define a class like for example
.leftimg {float:left;}
In your post you attach the class to your image within the img tag
<img scr="yourfolder/yourimage.jpg" class="leftimg"> and you're done!

Yesterday on 11th April, 2010, around 4.5 lakh students appeared for IITJEE
2010 entrance exam all over the nation. There were some major changes in the
pattern of the examination.
Change of pattern of exam is very important to select the good talent. The
change in pattern of the exam brings unpredictability and students who can think
on the fly and has good IQ perform better as compared to those who slog a lot.
In last few years equal weight age was given to paper-1 and paper-2 but this
year the trend has been broken. Paper-1 was for 252 marks where as paper-2 was
only 237 marks with physics, chemistry and mathematics combined together. Also
in paper-1 there was more number of questions in paper-2.
Paper-1 had 84 questions in all whereas paper-2 had only 57 questions. It
means paper-1 had 47% more questions than paper-1. Why IIT would have done this?
IMO, generally students get tired in paper- and find it difficult to
perform up to their abilities.

Getting into IITs would become tougher from 2011 as the government has
decided to give weightage to class XII results apart from the score in the JEE.
The reform is being planned within three years of introduction of the new system
of JEE which also came from within IIT. But HRD minister Kapil Sibal on Monday
justified it on the ground that the new system had not worked well. A
three-member committee has been set up to look into the curriculum and reform in
The committee, which will give its report in three months, consists of science
and technology secretary T Ramasamy, secretary, department of biotechnology M K
Bhan and director general CSIR Samir Brahmachari.
Reform in admissions is being done to check the mushrooming of coaching centres
for IIT-JEE as well as the tendency among students to not take the class XII
board examination seriously. Right now, a student having cleared IIT-JEE should
have 60% in class XII.
Announcing this after a meeting of IIT Council, Sibal said, "The present
criteria is that students need to secure 60% in class XII for appearing in
IIT-JEE. This is not acceptable."
Stating that the final decision should be left to the IITs, Sibal remarked that
the minimum class XII marks could be anything between 80% and 85%. When asked
about variation in marking across states, Sibal said the percentile would be
factored in. "Let the IITs decide first. There is confusion right now," a
ministry source said.

The Adventures of Kidsan
27th Apr 2012 - Asia 2012
The wonders of modern technology...
So here I am cruising at 36,000ft writing a blog entry that I'll publish when I find a free wi-fi network in KL. Listening to my music and about to watch a movie I want to watch, all on a budget airline with no frills provided (and yes with my own food too). Advantages (?) of travelling Air Asia and taking my little Asus eee netbook travelling :) Also advantages of paying extra $20 for a chance of 2 free seats next to you - and it worked! So am also stretched out in comparative luxury for economy class! Not bad for a $350 flight to KL! Not all has gone without a hitch so far, despite having just left NZ. The fuel bottle for the cooker got confiscated at Christchurch airport (sorry Anna-Marie!) - the check in guy was actually pretty good about it, saying he could see it had been all cleaned out but couldn't let it on with the residual smell... pointed me at a bag place that could clean it up for a fee, they did (and quite thouroughly, actually for free in the end), took it back and he was fine with it but his two bosses vetoed it and were still adamant it couldn't go on the plane! His two bosses happened to be female but I'll decline on making any comments that could be interpreted as sexist... Still, rrr! Anyway a small frustration that topped off an otherwise pretty good sending off. Got dropped off at the airport in Welly by my dad and brother (thanks!) and had a nice last drink and bite at the Roxy in Miramar. Then down to Christchurch for a couple of hours at a CUTC (Christchurch Uni Tramping Club) party with a few old friends from Welly in attendence and then back to the airport and on the plane. Party was quite a good way to unwind and relax a little (thanks Terra!), somehow its like I only just realised today that I'm actually heading back to the craziness of India and felt a little apprehensive about it all! But all disappeared now I'm on the plane and replaced by excited anticipation! Fascinating stuff anyway, just testing how dedicated my following is :) I'm sure there will be more exciting reports in the near future! Stay tuned...

One of the most popular television shows on air today is "Suits"—a drama series about a young genius who pretends to be a lawyer in a big law firm. The show is full of intense cases, romance, and of course, a lot of drama. However, though it is a fictional show, there are a few things that the show can teach a person about the practice of law within the United States.
The first thing that "Suits" teaches us is that the legal secretaries, legal aides, and paralegals are absolutely invaluable. They do a lot of the work that the attorneys need in order to win their cases and file their suits. Truly, these the work horses in all law firms, and many of them get handsomely compensated for their work as well.
The next thing that the show highlights is that lawyers are driven by competition. By its very nature, law is a competitive subject. Opposing council competes with each other to see who has the better argument, the better case, the better witnesses, etc. Attorneys within the same firm compete for better cases and promotions. Attorneys even compete with themselves to get higher settlements and bigger deals. Attorneys as a whole are competitive and that competition dries them and enables them to be better attorneys.
"Suits" also teach us that the law truly is not written in stone. It is constantly changing as new circumstances arise and the law has to be interpreted differently or rewritten in order to apply for the circumstance. The law is almost a living, breathing organism that grows and changes as we as species and culture grow and change.
Fourth, "Suits" teach us that though lawyers in the big law firms make a lot of money, they also work extremely hard and ridiculously long hours. Many lawyers often sacrifice family time and personal time in order to do the best job possible for their clients on their cases. Attorneys are some of the people with the least amount of vacation time and most amount of overtime. As a whole, attorneys truly are the definition of the word "workaholic."
Finally, "Suits" truly highlights that anything you say, do, type, or even post online can and will be used against you during a legal trial or case. Nothing is off limits, so start becoming a little more aware of the information you provide to people and some of the choices that you make. You never know when something you said or did may come back to haunt you.
So, though "Suits" is simply a well-written drama on television, there are quite a few solid takeaways from the show. These are facts that every person should be aware of and is thus another good reason that this show has been on the air as long as it has been. It not only entertains, but educates the audience at the same time, which greatly increases the social value that this show provides its audience.

Stranger things have happened
By now you are sick of hearing that no team has even come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a National League Championship Series. But one team at least made it interesting -- and D-Backs fans know all about those guys. The 1999 New York Mets, who eliminated the D-Backs from their first postseason experience, lost the first three games of the NLCS to the Atlanta Braves. Not only that, the Mets lost...Permalink | Comments(
After two games, looking for a half-full glass
Let's see if we can find some positive straws to grasp regarding the D-Backs' 0-2 hole in the NLCS. Clearly there's plenty to be negative about -- 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position, 19 runners left on base, too many mental and physical errors, and some strange managerial decisions. If we are to look at the glass as being half-full, we'll need to focus on these points: 1. Sooner or later,...Permalink | Comments(
Game 1: Not our finest moment
Anybody, any time? For Game 1 of the NLCS, we needed somebody, sometime, to step up. Instead, we got nobody, no time. Not Brandon Webb. Not Stephen Drew. And especially not the crowd. It was bad enough when fans sat on their hands much of the night (to be fair, some of that was due to the flat performance by the home nine, who sucked whatever energy there was out of Chase Field over and over...Permalink | Comments(
NFL gamesmanship -- or dirty pool?
I was all set to post this blog entry, but Broncos coach Mike Shanahan called time out at the last second, so I had to start over. We're seeing a lot of hand-wringing around pro football regarding this recent trend of coaches calling time out a second or two before the ball is snapped for a potential game-winning or tying field goal try. The idea is to get inside the kicker's head, disrupt...Permalink | Comments(

If you read any of the Chicago newspaper coverage of the Cubs-Diamondbacks series, you might come away thinking the press was a little harsh on the Cubbies.

Suddenly they are expected to parlay that into a World...Permalink | Comments(

After last night's D-Backs win we know one thing for sure -- there will be at least one more game this fall at Chase Field, either a Game 5 against the Cubs or Game 1 of the NL Championship Series.

MOSCOW (AP) -- Samantha Stosur will face doubles partner Svetlana Kuznetsova in the semifinals of the Kremlin Cup after both players won in straight sets Friday.
Stosur extended her unbeaten run to eight matches by defeating Ana Ivanovic 7-5, 6-4, while Kuznetsova beat second-seeded Roberta Vinci 6-2, 6-3.
Also, defending men's champion Andreas Seppi of Italy made it into his fifth semifinal of the season after Edouard Roger-Vasselin retired with a neck strain while trailing 5-2.
In a rematch of last year's three-set semifinal match between former Grand Slam champions, Ivanovic took a 3-0 lead but Stosur broke back twice to win the opener. An early break in the second set was enough for the Australian to defeat the former top-ranked Ivanovic for the second straight year.
''Probably having a match won here last year, I certainly had a few things in my head that I wanted to try to do today against her,'' Stosur said. ''And right from the start it was kind of working and from that my confidence kind of built, and I was able to keep going and play well 'til the end.''
Last Sunday, Stosur won the fifth title of her career in Osaka, Japan, while Ivanovic lost in the Linz final.
Kuznetsova, a two-time Grand Slam champion, broke twice in the first set. But Vinci offered more resistance in the second, trading breaks twice before the Russian took a 4-2 lead.
The Russian will be playing in her first semifinal this season and her first at a home event since she lost to Serena Williams in 2007.
In the men's tournament, Roger-Vasselin strained his neck during the warm-up and had it treated after the first game.
''From his first service game and down in the match he couldn't serve normally,'' Seppi said. ''I would never like to win like this but sometimes it happens.''
Seppi will next play Mikhail Kukushkin, who beat Andrey Golubev 6-4, 7-6 (4).

I don't find the Bodies exhibition as offensive as some. Yes, like many people I have qualms about where the bodies in Bodies came from, but I'm not chaining myself to the doors. (Hey, did they ever find that liver or kidney that got stolen?) But I have to say that I'm getting a little tired of seeing skinned, flayed, dismembered, glassy-eyed corpses everywhere I look—yes, even our own pages.
I'm starting to feel a bit traumatized.

Documents released to Radio New Zealand under the Official
Information Act show retired Canadian Supreme Court judge,
Justice Ian Binnie, has been paid almost $315,000 excluding
GST, as well as almost $34,000 for travel and expenses.
Justice Binnie was asked by the Government last November to
recommend whether Mr Bain should get compensation, although
Cabinet will ultimately decide whether he does.
Mr Bain served almost 13 years in prison over the murder of
his parents and three siblings in 1994, before being
acquitted at a retrial in 2009. He could be looking at a
pay-out of almost $2 million, should compensation be awarded.
Justice Binnie has been paid $450 an hour, which the Ministry
of Justice told Radio New Zealand was comparable to the rate
paid to New Zealand Queen's Counsel when considering
compensation claims.
Radio New Zealand reported Justice Binnie had travelled to
New Zealand four times in the past 11 months in order to
interview people involved in the case, including Mr Bain.
Justice Minister Judith Collins received Justice Binnie's
report last month, but said it would not be released until
Cabinet had decided whether to pay compensation.
However, the New Zealand Herald last month learned Justice
Binnie believes, on the balance of probabilities, Mr Bain is

Alan Cheuse reviews The Intuitionist, by Colson Whitehead. Whitehead's first novel immediately leaves the realm of reality, telling the story of two rival schools of big-city elevator inspectors, vying for power over the control of the elevator inspectors guild. Lila Mae Watson is the nation's first black female elevator inspector, and she is caught in the middle. The story has deep undertones about race, business, and American dreams.

We are excited to welcome back Phoene Cave as our singing for breathing facilitator. She will be spending one day a week at each hospital to deliver group workshops, one-to-one sessions with inpatients and to evaluate and develop the programme.
Here's what Phoene had to say about her role:
"I am delighted to have been appointed to deliver and review the singing for breathing programme for rb&hArts at Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals.
"Between 2008 and 2010, I worked at Royal Brompton Hospital delivering the innovative singing for breathing programme, working with inpatients, outpatients and staff, as well as taking part in two randomised control trials. I also recorded and produced a singing for breathing CD, which patients can use at home.
"I am very excited to return to look at how the programme is currently running, and how best practice can be maintained with the possibility of new ideas being introduced.
"I want the programme to meet the needs of as many patients as possible at both sites: for staff to understand the efficacy and enjoyment of singing for breathing; and finally to explore new ways of embedding the programme across the wider hospital environment, linking with both the community and also the wider arts programmes delivered by rb&hArts.
"In 2010 I worked as head of music services for London at the Nordoff Robbins music therapy service, setting up music therapy projects within the London centre and at care homes, nurseries, hospitals and schools.
"In 2013, I worked with funding from the public health department of Wandsworth Council to set up a community choir in Roehampton. For the past two years I have been working as a music therapist at HMP & YOI Bronzefield, further extending my experience and understanding of how music making can be transformative for both individuals and environments.
"In 2008, singing for breathing at Royal Brompton Hospital was one of only two such projects; the idea has now expanded to the degree that there are over 40 groups running nationally.
"The British Lung Foundation (BLF) are funding a training programme for other singing leaders to set up and run new groups across the country. I am delivering this training and will ensure that links are maintained between the BLF training programme and Singing for Breathing here at rb&hArts. We will be sure to update you of new developments in the service."

LONDON: In what will be the first ever budget cut in the European Union's 56-year history, austerity prevailed over growth with hectic negotiations over 24-hours finally seeing the EU agree to a 960 billion budget for the 2014-20 period. This is a 3% cut on the 994 billion earmarked for the current 2007-13 period.
After hours of tense negotiations, that saw leaders gulp down innumerable cups of expresso, the 27 leaders of the memeber states also agreed to a second figure on actual payments, dubbed the EU's credit card limit, which will now fall from 943 billion to 908.4 billion over the same period.
The EU council said, "In line with the consolidation efforts in the member states, EU leaders agreed to cut, compared to the current MFF 2007-2013, the financial resources which the EU may mobilize. However, to enhance growth funds for research and innovation have been increased."

Home is clearly where the heart is when it comes to Tony Stewart's stellar racing career. Then again, it's also where the heartburn seems to be for the native Hoosier.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a shrine to speed and has been for nearly a century. And Stewart wants to be more than just a footnote when the track's history is recalled.
That he's already come so close to making his mark at Indy just builds the passion. He's raced in five Indianapolis 500s and is preparing for his seventh Brickyard 400 this weekend. He's competed in the International Race of Champions at the 2.5-mile oval to boot.
And he has yet to park one of his cars in Victory Lane.
That would be easier to take if the talented Stewart was driving cars that didn't equal his abilities, but that's hardly been the case. Stewart's been good enough to win on numerous occasions, making the end result all the more painful.
So, yes, Stewart admits he finds the track addictive.
"It's just one of those places that consumes you. It's like Daytona is to all the stock car guys who have grown up around stock car racing all their lives," Stewart says. "Indy is just one of those special places. There's no other track like it. There is no other track shaped like it. It's just a neat atmosphere. When you have a track like that with so much history, it's hard not to get consumed in it."
Stewart, though, is doing his level best to keep things in perspective. He's back in Indiana, living in his childhood home. To some, that might mean even more pressure, but Stewart's been as relaxed this year as he was during a spectacular rookie Cup campaign in 1999.
He spoke with the media at a teleconference Monday, hoping he could lessen the demands on his time while at the track. A one-day test session went well and his Joe Gibbs Racing team has been on a roll.
Of course, that just means even more people expect Stewart to finally win at Indy. So no matter how relaxed Stewart is, he knows the spotlight will shine brightly.
"From my growing up in Indiana, and everybody knowing how much I want to win there, it creates a lot of attention," Stewart said. "That extra attention sometimes creates a lot of problems for us. So [the teleconference] is a step in trying to make my load a little easier for this weekend and help alleviate some of those stresses and strains that can get in the way. For the most part, we'll all just have fun and do the best we can at treating it like any other weekend. Although, deep down, all the guys know how important that weekend is to me."
Especially because they know his star-crossed history at the Brickyard. In his five Indy 500s, Stewart has led just 122 laps. As a rookie in 1996, Stewart led the first 32 laps before problems with the pop-off valve on his engine ended his day before the halfway mark. Two years later, he took the lead on lap 21 only to watch his engine expire.
The NASCAR circuit has been even more frustrating. In 2001, Stewart bounced off the wall while in contention and admitted he was trying too hard.
And his meltdown late the following year nearly alienated his team and ruined his hopes at the Winston Cup championship. Having won the pole, Stewart led four times for 43 of the 160 laps. But as his handling went awry late, he fell through the pack swiftly and ended up 12th.
Stewart was involved in an altercation with a photographer after the race and crew chief Greg Zipadelli's frustration with his driver was evident. If not for a win the following week in Watkins Glen, N.Y., Stewart's season could have continued to spiral downward.
A year later, Stewart led 60 laps, but a slow pit stop contributed to another 12th-place finish.
With an average finish of third over the past six races -- including wins in Sonoma, Calif., Daytona, Fla., and Loudon, N.H., -- Stewart is both a legitimate and sentimental favorite.
That, of course, doesn't mean much once the green flag falls.
"It's good to know that people have the confidence in you and your team that you're good enough to win there," Stewart says. "But there's just something about Indy. It's difficult to win there. It's probably one of the hardest places to win a race. Just because you're a favorite doesn't mean it's an automatically done deal."
And please don't try telling Stewart the track owes him one.
"No racetrack ever owes you anything. I've heard that from drivers, but Michael Andretti was the one who straightened a lot of people out on that one," Stewart says. "He said that all those years that he led laps at Indy 500s and didn't win -- it's a place that you have to earn victories. They're not given to you. So no, Indy doesn't owe me anything."
Stewart's best finish at Indy is a second in the 2001 IROC race, a year after he finished third. His best Indy 500 finish was a fifth in '97 and he's finished fifth in Cup events in 2000 and 2004.
Stewart says much of his new attitude can be traced to the move back home to Indiana following the end of the '04 season. Free to hang out with those who've known him best and longest, he smiles a lot more at the track these days.
The question is whether that new attitude can pass its biggest test yet.
"I think just being more relaxed will be a big deal," Zipadelli says. "He's having fun this year -- not that we haven't in the past. It's just a little bit different. He showed up at the racetrack really focused on winning and learning to control some of the things that used to aggravate him or be a distraction to him.
"Hopefully we can take the same approach to Indy this year. I don't know. I'm sure it'll be a little more than Loudon or Daytona or any of those other racetracks because we are going to his hometown and knowing how much he wants to win there and some of the things he's said in the past as far as what it would mean to him. We're just going to try to make light of the weekend and have fun and do the best we can. Hopefully I can tell him that we need to try to put ourselves in position to win, and that's all you can ask."
If not, Stewart will try, try again. And even if he never wins at Indy, he knows it won't be the end of the world.
"It's not one of those situations that if I never win there, my career is not going to be complete because it is home," Stewart says. "It's just like when we go to Loudon. That's a very important race to Zippy because it's close to home for him. Everybody has that one track on the schedule that is important to them.
"I wish I could say I've had a lot of fun there. Normally, it's one of my more miserable weekends of the year, but I think it's because we put so much pressure on ourselves to do well. You get one shot a year at it. When it's over, it's over. If you didn't get the result you wanted, you've got to wait 365 days to try it again. There are all kinds of races that way. The Chili Bowl in Oklahoma in January is the same way. There are two or three races on the schedule that are like that, that are very important to you and every time you go there, you put a lot of pressure on yourself to perform there."

About Me
In short: I hope to be open minded... while being an idealist with a cause!
A bit longer:
While I'm critical about truths, I rely on a sense of justice to inspire me and give this world a meaning. I hope to be considerate of other beings, but I'm not always perfect in following my own ideals - though I try!
More often relying on thoughts/plans than the spontaneous (while not always what I would prefer:)). I can be both quiet or social.
I like to be guided by reason but I despise the coldness of reason not informed by empathy and a fair bit of emotions!
Who decides their social/cultural/genetical/psychological condition and background completely themselves? In an individualist society we tend to see people as fully responsible for everything they are and do and forget about how much is beyond actual choice and control.
Empathy along with understanding human behaviour and challenging taken for granted assumptions is human wisdom to me. Let's try to not let lack of love and reason be our guides!? ;)
Music, sociology, philosophy, art - well, culture in general, activism/politics, biking/exploring the world, doing creative things, DIY, history, talking to people/doing some partying!

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Anything that is creative.
Indie, folk, punk, hardcore, reggae, dub, rap, electronic music, ambient...
I'm almost always listening to music, it gives life a more interesting touch :)
Books: I don't know as much as I would like to about litterature, but I like to read anything from fiction to (soft) science or poetry. Usually takes forever for me to finish a book!
Movies: I like them, but I prefer to watch movies with other people as to doing it alone - as it makes me feel alone hehe. As long as it's not 21st century Holywood action movies it should be alright!
