"So now, my children, keep your hearts from every unrighteous deed, which The Lord hates.
Just as a person, makes request of his own soul from God, in the same manner let him behave toward every living soul, because in the great age, I will find out everything.
Many shelters have been prepared for people, good ones for the good, but bad ones for the bad, many without number. Happy is he who enters into the blessed houses; for in the bad one there is no rest, nor returning.
Listen, my children, old and young! A person, when he places a vow upon his heart to bring gifts before The Face of The Lord from his own works, and his hands did not make that thing, then The Lord will turn His Face away from the works of his hands, and he will not find the works of his hands. But even if his hands did make it, but his heart is complaining, the illness of his heart will not cease; making complaint without ceasing, he shall not even have a single benefit.
"Happy is the person, who in his suffering, brings his gifts, with faith, before The Face of The Lord, and sacrifices them and receives remission of sins. But if, before the time comes, he should retract his vows, there is no repentance for him.
If the time specified elapses, and then he does it, he will not be accepted, because every delay causes a scandal.
"A person, when he clothes the naked or gives his bread to the hungry, then he will obtain a reward from God. If his heart should murmur, it is a twofold evil that he creates for himself. It is a loss that he creates in respect to that to that which he gives, and he will not have any obtaining or remuneration because of it.
The poor man, when his heart is satisfied or his body is clothed, and he performs an act of contempt, then he will ruin all his endurance of poverty, he will not obtain the reward for his good deeds.
For The Lord detests every kind of contemptuous person, and every person who makes himself out to be great, and every untruthful word, stimulated by injustice; it will be cut out with the blade of the sword of death, and thrown into the fire. It will burn and this cutting out has no healing unto eternity."
When Enoch had spoken these words to his sons, to the princes of the people, and all his people, near and far, having heard that The Lord was calling Enoch, they consulted one another, saying, "Let us go, let us kiss Enoch." And they came together. up to 2000 men, and they arrived at the place Akhuzan, where Enoch was, and his sons.
The elders of the people and all the community came and prostrated themselves and kissed Enoch. They said to him, "O our father, Enoch! May you be blessed by The Lord, The Eternal King! Now, bless your sons, and all the people, so that we may be glorified in front of your face today.
For you will be glorified in front of The Face of The Lord for eternity, because you are the one whom The Lord chose in preference to all the people upon the earth; and He appointed you to be the one who makes a written record of all His Creation, visible and invisible. The helper of your own household."
And Enoch answered his people saying to all of them: ""Listen, my children! Before anything existed, and before ever any created thing was created, The Lord Created His whole Creation, visible and invisible. However how much time there was went by. Understand how, on account of this, He constituted man in His Own Form, in accordance with a similarity. He gave him:
Eyes to see, Ears to hear, heart to think, reason to argue.
The Lord set everything forth for the sake of man, and He created the whole creation for his sake. And He divided it into times:
From time He established years; From the years He settled months; From the months He settled the days; From the days He settled 7; and in those He settled the hours; and the hours, He measured exactly.
So that a person might think about time, so that he might count the years, the months, the days, the hours, the perturbations, the beginnings, the endings, and that he might keep count of his own life from the beginning unto death, think about his sins, so that he might write down his achievement, both good and evil.
For no achievement is hidden in Front of The Lord, so that every person might know his own achievement, so that he might not transgress any one of His commandments at all, so that he might hold onto what my hand has written in generation and generation.
When the whole of creation, visible and invisible, which The Lord has Created, shall come to an end, then each person will go to The Lord's Great Judgment. Then all time will perish, afterwards there will be neither years, nor months, nor days, nor hours. They will be dissipated, after that, they will not be reckoned.
They will constitute a single age. All the righteous, who escape from The Lord's Great Judgment, will be collected together into the great age. The Great Age will come about for the righteous, and it will be eternal.
After that, there will be among them neither weariness, nor sickness, nor affliction, nor worry, nor want, nor debilitation, nor night, nor darkness. But they will have a great light, a great indestructible light, paradise, great and incorruptible. For everything corruptible will pass away, and the incorruptible will come into being, and it will be the shelter of the eternal residences.
"Now therefore sons, guard your souls from every kind of injustice, such as The Lord hates. Walk in front of His Face with Fear, trembling, and worship Him alone.
To the true God, bow down; not to idols, which have no voice. Every kind of oblation, present justly in front of The Face of The Lord; but what is unjust, The Lord detests.
For The Lord sees everything that a person thinks in his heart. Then reason advises Him. For every thought is presented before The Lord, who made the earth firm and settled creatures upon it.
If you look upon the sky, behold, The Lord is there; for The Lord Created the sky. If you look upon the earth, then The Lord is there; for The Lord founded the earth , and placed upon it all His creatures. If you contemplate upon the depths of the ocean and on all that is beneath the earth, then The Lord is there. Because The Lord Created all things.
Do not bow down to anything created by man, nor anything created by God, so committing apostasy against The Lord of all creation. For no kind of deed is hidden from The Face of The Lord.
Walk my children,
in long-suffering, in meekness, in honesty, in affliction, in distress, in faithfulness, in truth, in hope, in weakness, in derision, in assaults, in temptation, in deprivation.
Having love for one another, until you go out from this age of suffering, so that you may become inheritors of the never-ending age.
How happy are the righteous, who shall escape The Lord's Great Judgment; for they will be made to shine seven times brighter than the sun. For in that age, everything is estimated sevenfold - light, darkness, food, enjoyment, misery, paradise, tortures, fire, frost, etc. All this I have put down in writing, so that you may read it and think about it.
And when Enoch has spoken to his people, The Lord sent the gloom onto the earth, it became dark, and covered the men who were standing and talking with Enoch. The angels hurried, grasped Enoch and carried him up to the highest heaven, where The Lord received him and made him stand in front of His Face for eternity. Then the darkness departed from the earth, and it became light.
The people looked, and they understood how Enoch was taken away. They glorified God and went away to their homes.
Methusalam and his brothers, the sons of Enoch, hurried and constructed an altar at the place Akhuzan, whence Enoch had been taken up. They obtained sheep and oxen and they sacrificed in Front of The Face of The Lord. They summoned all the people to come with them to the festival; the people brought offerings for the sons of Enoch. They made a festival and made merriment for 3 days.
On the third day, in the time of the evening, the elders of the people spoke to Methusalam, saying, "Stand in front of the Face of The Lord, in front the face of all the people, and in front of the face of the altar of The Lord; and you will be glorified in your people."
Methusalam answered his people: "Wait, O men, until The Lord, The God of my father Enoch, shall Himself raise up for Himself a priest over His Own People." The people waited until that night in vain at the place Akhuzan. Methusalam remained near the altar and prayed to The Lord and said, "O Lord, the only One of the whole world, Who has taken away my father Enoch. You raise up a priest for your people, give their heart understanding to fear Your Glory and to perform everything in accordance to Your Will."
Methusalam fell asleep, and The Lord appeared to him in a night vision and said to him, "Listen, Methusalam! I am The Lord, The God of your father Enoch. Give heed to the voice of these people and stand in front of My Altar, and I shall glorify you in front of the face of all the people, and you will be glorified all the days of your life, and I shall bless you." Methusalam got up from his sleep and blessed The Lord, Who has appeared to him.
The elders of the people hurried to Methusalam and The Lord directed Methusalam's heart to give heed to the voice of the people. And he said to them, "The Lord God is The One who have given Grace to these people in front of my eyes today." And Sarkhasan, Kharmis, and Zaras, the elders of the people, hurried and attired Methusalam in the designated garments and placed a blazing crown on his head.
The people hurried and they brought sheep, oxen and some birds, all of them having passed inspection, for Methusalam to sacrifice in The Name of The Lord and in the name of the people. Methusalam came up to The Lord's Altar, and his face was radiant like the sun at midday, with all the people in procession behind him. Methusalam stood in front of the altar of The Lord, with all the people standing around the place of sacrifice. And when the elders of the people had taken sheep and oxen, they tied their four legs together, and placed them at the head of the altar.
They said to Methusalam, "Pick up the knife! Slaughter them in the required manner in The Face of The Lord." Methusalam stretched out his hands to heaven and he called out to The Lord thus, saying, "Accept me, O Lord! Who am I, to stand at the head of Your Place of Sacrifice and over the head of these people? And now, Lord, look upon Your servant and upon these people. Give A Blessing to Your servant in front of the face of these people, so that they may realize that You are The One Who has appointed me to be priest over your people."
It happened, while Methusalam was praying, that the altar was shaken, the knife rose up from the altar and leaped into Methusalam's hand in front of the face of all the people. The people trembled and glorified God. Methusalam was honored in front of the face of The Lord and in front of the face of all the people from that day.
Methusalam took the knife and slaughtered all that had been brought by the people. The people rejoiced greatly, they made merry in front of The Face of The Lord, and in front of the face of Methusalam on that day. Then the people went off to their own houses.
Methusalam began to stand at the altar in front of The Face of The Lord and all the people from that day for 10 years, hoping in an eternal inheritance, and having thoroughly taught all the earth and all the people.
There was not found one single person turning himself away in vanity from The Lord during all the days that Methusalam lived. The Lord Blessed Methusalam and was gratified by his sacrifices and by his gifts and by every kind of service which he performed in front of The Face of The Lord.
When the time of the departure days of Methusalam arrived, The Lord appeared to him in a night vision and said to him, "Listen, Methusalam! I am The Lord, The God of your father Enoch. I want you to know that the days of your life have come to an end, and the day of your rest has come close. Call Nir, second son of Lamech, and invest him in the garments of your consecration. Make him stand at My Altar and tell him everything that will happen in his days, for the time of the destruction of all the earth, and of every human being and of every thing that lives on the earth, is drawing near.
For in his days, there will be a great confusion on the earth, for each one has begun to envy his neighbor, and people will sin against people. Nation will wage war against nation. All the earth will be filled with blood and with very evil confusion. Even more than that, they have abandoned their Creator and they will do obeisance to that which is fixed in the sky, to what moves on the earth, and the waves of the sea. And the adversary will make himself great and will be delighted in their deeds to My provocation.
All the earth will change its order, every fruit and every herb will change their seeds, for they will anticipate the time of destruction. All the nations will change on the earth by My conflagration.
Then I shall give the command. The bottomless will be poured out over the earth and the great storages of the waters of heaven will come down on the earth in a great substance, in accordance with the first substance.
The whole constitution of the earth will perish, all the earth will quake, and it will be deprived of its strength from that day. Then I will preserve the son of your son Lamech, his first son, Noah. From his seed, I will raise up another world, and his seed will exist forever, until the second destruction, when once again, mankind will have committed sin in front of My Face."
Methusalam, leaped up from his sleep, his dream was very disturbing. He summoned all the elders of the people, and recounted to them all that The Lord had said to him; all the vision that had been revealed to him by The Lord. All the people were disturbed by his vision. They answered him, "The Lord is Lord, He will Act in accordance with His Own Will. Now, Methusalam, you do everything just as The Lord has told you."
Methusalam summoned Nir, the son of Lamech, Noah's younger brother, and he invested him with the vestments of priesthood in front of the face of all the people, and made him stand at the head of the altar of The Lord. And he taught him everything that he would have to do among the people.
Methusalam spoke to the people: "Here is Nir. He will be in front of your face from the present day as a prince and a leader." The people said to Methusalam, "Let it be so for us in accordance with your word. You will be The Voice of The Lord, just as He said to you." When Methusalam had spoke to the people in front of the altar, his spirit was convulsed, and, having knelt on his knees, he stretched out his hands to heaven, and prayed to The Lord. As he was praying to Him, his spirit went out in accordance with The Will of The Lord.
Nir and all the people hurried and constructed a grave which they made for Methusalam in the place of Akhuzan, very thoughtfully adorned, with reeds and many holy things. Nir came with many praises, and the people lifted up Methusalam's body, glorifying God; they performed the service for him at the grave which they had made for him and they covered him over.
They said, "How blessed was Methusalam in front of The Face of The Lord and in front of the face of all the people!" When they wanted to go away to their own places, Nir said to the people, "Hurry up today and bring sheep, bulls, turtledoves, and pigeons, so that you may make a sacrifice in front of The Face of The Lord today. Then go away to your houses."
The people gave heed to Nir, the priest, they hurried and brought them, tied them up at the head of the altar. Nir took the knife of sacrifice and slaughtered all that had been brought to be sacrificed in front of The Face of The Lord. All the people made merry in front of The Face of The Lord, and on that day, they glorified The Lord, The God of Heaven and Earth, The God of Nir. From that day, there was peace and order over all the earth in the days of Nir - 202 years.
After that, the people changed and turned away from The Lord. They began to envy one another, people went to war against people, race rose up against race, struggled and insulted one another.Even if the lip were the same, nevertheless, the heart chose different things. For the devil became ruler for the third time. The first was before paradise; the second time was in paradise; the third time was after paradise, and continuing right up to The Flood.
There arose great strife and great turbulence. Nir the priest heard and was greatly aggrieved. He said in his heart, "In truth, I have come to understand how the time has arrived and the sayings which The Lord said to Methusalam, the father of my father Lamech."

The commercial in the Philippines that's making waves in the internet has now come to the doorstep of Paolo Mendoza. And with his band of schizo-personalities, the Bacon and Eggs presents to you the first non-stupid performance of the song Sinabawang Gulay!
The video was not hard to make as you can see because Paolo (center), Kevin (paolo's left) and Ahmad (paolo's right) were very professional. Hopefully this will land them some commercial unlike these little bastards under here…
End notes:
Thanks to Heneroso Bistokya for the influence! This performance will vanish to oblivion after 5 days

Enactus collecting business clothing for domestic violence shelter
KOKOMO, Ind. — A suit cleared out of one person's closet during spring-cleaning could help another person obtain a job.
Indiana University Kokomo's Enactus student organization is collecting suits and other business-appropriate clothing, along with shoes and accessories, to help women at the Family Service Association's domestic violence shelter.
"Many of the women had to leave behind their possessions when they came to the shelter," said Enactus member Jacob Faust. "Not having the clothes to wear to an interview or to work is a barrier to finding a job to support themselves and their children. We want to remove that barrier, so they can become self-sufficient."
Students will have collection boxes in the Kelley Student Center Commons, Alumni Hall, and in the library through April 12. They will take the donated clothing to the shelter, which provides housing and other services to women seeking safety from violence.
Enactus members also volunteer at the shelter, teaching the residents skills such as how to create a resumé and how to build a household budget.
Faust said any clothing not used right away would be kept for future shelter residents.
"We encourage our campus and community to check in your closets and see if you have anything you can give," he said. "Even a small donation makes a big difference, when it can help someone take care of herself and her family."
Indiana University Kokomo serves north central Indiana.

All New Haveners should cheer Megabus' recent announcement that it will start providing service between New Haven and Boston. A new, cost-effective option for public transportation is good news for anyone looking to save a few bucks while also helping to save the planet. Plus, the free tickets that Megabus is giving away seem like a great way to head to Beantown to enjoy some chowdah without the hassle of pahking the cah.
We here at SeeClickFix are humbly patting ourselves on the back for giving voice to the many New Haven citizens who wanted more public transportation options through Issue #7425: Bolt Bus Should Run from New Haven to New York. Since being posted roughly two years ago, there has been extensive conversation going on among local residents about the need for more bus routes to pass through New Haven.
In fact, this issue--which was started by our own Ben Berkowitz--was cited in a Board of Alderman resolution calling on BoltBus to provide service between New Haven and New York. City official Crissy Bonanno contributed to the issue comments and stated:
The City of New Haven is committed to getting Bolt Bus to add us to their route. Working with area partners that share this goal, we are sending the company extensive demographic and marketing materials to show that New Haven would be a profitable addition to their business. We are asking the company to check out this ticket at SeeClickFix to gauge community interest--so keep the posts and links coming!
When last contacted about the possibility of expanding to New Haven, BoltBus indicated that it had no immediate plans because of the weak economy. Hopefully, Megabus' addition of New Haven will be successful, demonstrating the viability of bus travel to and from New Haven. At any rate, it's very rewarding to see that after years of clamoring for more bus lines through SeeClickFix, New Haven community members are being heard.
See you on the bus!

Celebrities Who Switched Careers
Sometimes a celebrity hits a wall in their career, or gets bored, or just doesn't want to do it anymore. So, like anybody else, they quit and decided to do something else. Although what that something else is can be…a bit weird.

Depending on whom you ask, Michael Jordan is either the greatest basketball player of all time, or the greatest athlete ever to grace the Earth with his presence. But ask anybody about his baseball career, and you're likely to get a "huh?"
Yes, it's true. Jordan quit basketball in 1993 for no explicable reason. We're assuming he just didn't feel like playing anymore, what with the incredible amount of money he'd made, the multiple playoffs wins, or maybe it was the incredible amount of gambling. Or, as Jordan claims, he was burned out, and wanted to honor his dead father's wishes that he be a baseball player.
Either way, one of the weirdest baseball careers in history was about to get going.
We can sum up Jordan's performance as at the ol' ball game pretty well: he blew. 114 strikeouts in 127 games is crappy even for a Little Leaguer. But never let it be said His Airness didn't try like a mofo; various White Soxers recall bleeding hands, 7:30am workouts, all of it. In the end, Jordan decided he was better off as a basketball player and went back to said sport…and proceeded to win the playoffs another three times. Luckily his return quickly banished the memory of his tremendous failure, though the same can't be said for his involvement with the film "Space Jam".
Alex James Gives Up Music For Cheesemaking
OK, so calling any bassist who isn't Lemmy "famous" is maybe stretching the point a bit, but this one's just a little too unusual to pass up.
Alex James is, er, well, was the bassist for Blur, the band responsible for hits like "Song #2". You know, Woo hoo! That song? OK, yeah, so they're a lot more famous in Britain. Anyway, when you say somebody's living the "rock star lifestyle", you might as well call it the Alex James lifestyle. He got wasted, lived under pool tables, claimed he spent $2 million on champagne and then… threw away his living-fantasy for making cheese.
Of course, James had a cheese obsession, which among other things led to him getting pelted with cans of cheese when in Japan. He'd grown up loving the stuff, so it kind of made sense that he went into the Cotswolds, England's famous cheese-producing region, and is turning out some cheese so delicious that the English royal family wants their name on it.
Also, apparently the one thing that farming's done is taught him a healthy disrespect of animals; ever since he started farming and making cheese, he's started eating meat.
Mickey Rourke Stops Acting for Boxing
Mickey Rourke's career was in the crapper in 1991, and he needed something to turn it around. Namely, a punch, or five dozen, to the face.
After a long period of basically terrifying all of Hollywood and ensuring he couldn't get a movie role if he held a gun to a director's head, Rourke decided to return to boxing, where he'd been a highly successful amateur before deciding he liked acting better than brutal physical combat. And boxing welcomed him… by kicking his butt all over the ring and pounding his face in, literally. Among the list of injuries: broken nose (twice), smashed cheekbone (that took three operations to fix) and short term memory loss; in short, Rourke took it on the chin way too often.
With all that, you'd think he was a crappy boxer, but actually it was just the opposite: Rourke won six fights, had two draws, and didn't lose once. Although his trainer told him that at 39 he was too old to take on any champs, it wasn't because Rourke was bad at boxing. He just couldn't take the wear and tear, which is a little surprising in light of all the drugs he did; you'd think that'd toughen him up.
That, it turns out, is why he's got that mug of his: he took so many punches to the face, and had such bad surgery, that he was pretty much completely unrecognizable. But on the other hand, that's probably why he got his career back: nobody knew who he was!

Financial terms of the transaction were not released, but the deal was effective as of April 15, 2014 and it now gives Bergman a total of 23 employees. "The talent of Artwears Unlimited will be a terrific addition to the services Bergman Incentives offers its clients, " says David Gilinsky, president of Bergman Incentives. "We are excited to include additional production capabilities with the products Bergman Incentives currently provides." Gilinsky told Counselor that he believes the acquisition will help to make Bergman a larger and more efficient business. "The addition of an in-house graphics department as well as in-house embroidery allows us to be increasingly agile and responsive to our growing client base," Gilinsky said. "We expect the acquisition to add nearly $1 million in revenues over the next year. In business since 1987, Artwears Unlimited's production facility includes wearable items such as printed and embroidered clothing and accessories. The companies believe the deal will benefit both sides, as it matches production capabilities with customer needs. "Bergman Incentives' reputation for quality customer support and reliable e-commerce solutions are a perfect pairing for Artwears Unlimited," said Gina Gottsch, president of Artwears Unlimited. "In turn, our facility will increase Bergman Incentives' efficiency and reduce production lead times." Bergman Incentives, which won Counselor's Family Business of the Year award in 2013, has been family-owned and operated since 1888.

While visiting my father in Shreveport last week, I took time out to have lunch with a friend/former student. I asked him how the "mortgage crisis," "economic crisis," and "banking crisis." He said he's not really seen any ill-effects. That's largely due to two factors – first, the recession is not nearly the "crisis" that the ObamaNation would have you believe it is (remember what Rahmbo said, "you don't want t let a crisis go to waste"), and that my buddy owns a chain of liquor stores.
Beer, wine and distilled spirits are the original recession-proof commodity. Beer is "nature's off switch" for millions. Tough day at work? Hit the off switch. Need to relax? Off switch. Wanna party? Off switch. Wine is generally thought of as a more sophisticated drink, usually a lubricant for dining. Then there's the distilled spirits group. If beer is nature's off switch, then liquor is the go-to beverage for just about any extreme emotion. Lose your job? Get a raise? Bad news? In these situations, beer is for amateurs. Liquor, ounce for ounce, packs more punch for less swallowing. And unlike beer (which comes only in "beer flavor"), you can get hooch in a wide variety of flavors, everything from mouthwash flavors (schnapps) to paint stripper (scotch) to drinks that will blind you in one eye and make you say "arrrggh" a lot (rum).

Troubleshooting "Receive calls when abroad"
When you go abroad, it is necessary to enable "Receive calls when abroad" switch in order to receive calls to your number without paying roaming charges to your operator. This sets up call forwarding to our service number in your country and we further transfer the call wherever you are. Forwarding usually uses your local minutes.
Here are some reasons turning on "Receive calls when abroad" fails sometimes:
• If you have Viber installed, you need to turn off Viber-In in Viber settings;
• You have inserted a SIM card with a number different to one you used at registration (everyone makes mistakes);
• Your operator/plan doesn't support call forwarding at all (common issue for prepaid SIM card owners). You should call your carrier service center to find out;
• (iOS users) If you don't have "Roamer Activate Incoming" contact, click Groups in Contacts and choose iCloud;
• (iOS users) If after calling "Roamer Activate Incoming" it shows Error, your plan does not offer call forwarding service;
• (Russia users) Beeline users need to enable call forwarding service by typing *110*031# and Call in Phone app and then try again;
• (Ukraine users) If you have a SIM PARA service enabled, then main SIM activation is required;
• (Ukraine users) If you your home operator is Kyivstar and you're abroad, then you need to turn off "Free roaming" ( "вільний роумінг");

Missouri Senators Endorse Tax Overhaul
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Senate has endorsed a massive tax overhaul intended to keep pace with recent tax cuts in Kansas. Senators gave preliminary approval yesterday to legislation that would phase in a three-quarters of a percentage point cut in state income tax rates for individuals and businesses over the next five years. The plan includes an additional income tax cut for low-income residents, and it seeks to boost tax collections from Internet sales and some out-of-state retailers.

Since the start of the Aussie Millions this year, there was talk of a massive, super high roller $250,000 buy-in tournament. At first it was slated to be a heads-up event, then possibly an 8-game mixed event, and finally it was cleared to be a single table no-limit hold'em tournament. What nobody was counting on was just how many people were willing to pony up the $250k. Not only were we able to get a full table here in Studio 3, but we got two full tables and 20 total runners, creating a prize pool of $5 million dollars.
The field included poker greats such as Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, John Juanda, David Benyamine as well as some of the game's young guns like Annette Obrestad, Andrew Feldman and Daniel "jungleman12" Cates, and the now infamous Chinese businessmen; Paul Phua, Richard Yong and Wang Qiang.
One by one the field thinned, thanks in part to a super fast structure meant to ensure the trio of Phua, Yong and Qiang would be able to catch a flight tonight, but also thanks to the amazing run-good and skill of 2011 Aussie Millions $100k winner Sam Trickett.
After what felt like a final table massacre, thanks to the handy work of Trickett, only poker's newest hall of fame inductee, Erik Seidel and the young Trickett were remaining. Trickett held a sizable chip lead, and it looked like he would go back-to-back in two of the biggest tournaments in poker history. Seidel, however would not relent finding one timely double up after another. Soon, the players were even, yet Seidel had all the momentum, chipping away one pot at a time at Trickett who was clearly getting frustrated.
After about 45 minutes of heads-up play, the stacks now firmly swapped, and Seidel holding the chip lead, Trickett picked his spot, attempting to double. Unfortunately for him, Seidel was firmly in front with top-pair, and was able to hold, eliminating Trickett in second place, and earning Seidel the $2.5 million first prize.
This win in the biggest buy-in poker tournament in history, along with his 4th place finish in the 2011 PCA high roller event, and his 3rd place finish in the 2011 Aussie Millions 100k challenge, give Seidel $3.46 million in earnings this month alone. Congratulations Mr. Seidel on the historic win and legendary month.

Jeremy Maddock on 'harm reduction' and prohibition: "Both ideologies are immoral."
November 22, 2011 1 Comment
Hello Gregory,
Glad to hear that you're still one of the few people speaking rationally in Greater Victoria politics.
Prohibition of drugs is vindictive, imposing unnecessary pain on those who have not necessarily done harm to others. "Harm reduction" shields people from the natural consequences of their own negative behaviour. Both ideologies are immoral.
Drug abuse can be devastating. The results of this devastation might spur certain individuals into change and onto the right path. Shielding them from their own behaviour (i.e. harm reduction) will lull them into complacency, while the creation of additional punitive consequences (i.e. prohibition) will inevitably force them further into misery.
The only (potential) solution is principled Christian compassion, which differs from either punitive destruction or passive enabling. If (and only if) people want to change, they have to make a choice to change. Principled compassion *might* help them in this regard.
Food banks and low-cost housing can be a part of this, but as you correctly state, government should not be at the forefront. Government screws up most projects (and people) it touches. The only solution is to lower the tax burden on all of us and trust good people to show some compassion and guidance to those in need who genuinely want a better life.

The nuclear industry applauds the Department of Energy and Southern Company for fulfilling the promise of the clean-energy loan guarantee program enacted by Congress in 2005. The agreement demonstrates the Obama administration's recognition of the key role nuclear energy must play in a successful clean energy policy. U.S. nuclear energy facilities have proven their ability to provide reliable, affordable electricity while protecting the environment.
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz announced this yesterday at a luncheon and you may well be thinking that this happened a while ago – even a long while ago. Well, yes and no. Previous Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the guarantee to Southern Company in 2010. Reuters picks up the story from there:
But record low natural gas prices, tepid growth in electricity demand and the lack of a federal cap on carbon emissions have kept any such revival at bay.
Now only a few new reactors are projected to be built and Vogtle is the only nuclear power plant to receive a federal loan guarantee so far.
Southern's drive for a loan guarantee also got caught up in the political fallout from the high profile 2011 bankruptcy of solar panel maker Solyndra, which had received a federal loan guarantee.
The Obama administration added requirements after Solyndra's collapse that complicated negotiations over Southern's loan deal, which was initially expected to be finalized in 2012.
But you know what? Almost none of this is germane. Southern has motored right ahead with the plant while negotiating loan terms with DOE. The rise of natural gas and collapse of Solyndra did not deter it in the least – and the issues around Solyndra were always more political than actual. If DOE makes a lot of loan guarantees, some are going to fail – and DOE has an exceptionally good track record. The value is in keeping the responsibility for building out essential infrastructure in private hands. Russia or France can splash out for a new nuclear plant or solar array (Solyndra was actually a solar panel company) because the governments will own the plants.
That's not true here, but we still need these plants because we need the electricity. Loan guarantees make this possible – it makes gigantic projects plausible without government ownership. It's what you want to happen in a capitalist economy.
NEI President and CEO Marvin Fertel gets into this while congratulating Southern Co.:
Loan guarantees have been in place for years and are a successful vehicle used by the federal government to ensure investment in critical infrastructure projects. In addition to electricity generation, these projects include shipbuilding, transportation infrastructure, exports and affordable housing. The loan guarantee program created in the 2005 Energy Policy Act will act as a catalyst in hastening the construction of low- and non-emitting sources of electricity, such as nuclear power plants.
Some of those kinds of projects fail, too, but most succeed.
And there's even a bonus in all this: one of the issues raised in 2010 was that the American public would be on the hook if Southern could not finish the two reactors, but that's no longer even a distant worry. Southern is doing fine and the reactors are on track. If this seemed, oh, let's say 95 percent certain in 2010, it's 99.94 percent pure now. Anything can happen, of course, but it didn't seem a big issue then – except to professional worriers - and it's a smaller one now.
Here is Southern Company on the terms of the loan guarantee:
Under the terms of the agreement, total guaranteed borrowings will be the lesser of 70 percent of the company's eligible projected costs or approximately $3.46 billion and will be funded by the Federal Financing Bank. Georgia Power received an initial draw of $1 billion and future draws may occur as often as quarterly. The loan guarantees apply to borrowings related to the construction of Vogtle units 3 and 4, and any guaranteed borrowings will be full recourse to Georgia Power and secured by a first priority lien on the company's 45.7 percent ownership interest in the two new units.
Takes a couple of reads, doesn't it? Moniz visited Plant Vogtle today to announce the loan guarantee to the workers. Click the leak for an account.
And speaking of Moniz, we can't let this post past without a few of his comments from the lunch yesterday (our transcription):
"The construction of new nuclear power facilities like this one [at Plant Vogtle]—which will provide carbon-free electricity to well over a million American energy consumers—is not only a major milestone in the Administration's commitment to jumpstart the U.S. nuclear power industry, it is also an important part of our all-of-the-above approach to American energy as we move toward a low-carbon energy future. The innovative technology used in this project represents a new generation of nuclear power with advanced safety features and demonstrates renewed leadership from the U.S. nuclear energy industry."
It gets better:
"Investing in clean energy…is an opportunity to lead in global clean energy markets that are forming right now. Tomorrow, maybe I'll ask those three and a half thousand construction workers [at Vogtle] how they think about the opportunities in this new economy."
And even better:
"The president—I want to emphasize—did make it clear that he sees nuclear energy as part of America's low-carbon energy portfolio. And of course, nuclear power already is a major part of our carbon-free portfolio."

How Do People Feel about Life Extension?
What do you think future societies will look like? (Photo by Tattooed JJ)
If you're a proponent of anti-aging technologies, you most likely know how difficult it can be to argue with people in the pro-aging camp. It sometimes seems that no amount of logical arguments will convince someone who has decided the embrace the idea of dying.
Even though the benefits of increasing human healthspan should be clear to anyone who spends more than a minute thinking about the issue, trying to change public opinion is always a daunting task that takes a long time. If the message you're preaching is true, they will agree with you in the end, but in the meantime, they won't hear a word of it.
I've already written about one global survey on immortality, which indicated that the situation is not quite as hopeless as it could be – the word "immortality" is intimidating to many, after all, and yet there were positive reactions too. But how exactly does the public feel about life extension? If you don't want to live forever, how about living a little bit longer in good health?
This is the question posed by Partridge et al. in their survey, published last year in the Rejuvenation Research journal (link). The team interviewed more than 600 Australians, asking how they felt about the implications of humans being able to live significantly longer. Before the actual questions, the participants were presented with the following vignette:
For this survey, I'd like you to consider the possibility that scientists may develop new biotechnologies to slow down the body's aging process and vastly increase the length of the human lifespan. This is called life-extension research.
Over the last 100 years or so, better ways to treat and cure diseases have made it possible for people to live longer on average. But, life-extension research aims to
make it possible for people to live much longer lives than we do today, not simply by treating or curing disease, but by slowing down the actual aging process itself. Some scientists estimate that we could live up to 150 years or more by intervening in the rate that we age. By controlling the processes in our body that cause people to age, they claim that we wouldn't become frail and die at the age we do now, because we wouldn't deteriorate as quickly. Even though life-extension technologies wouldn't cure diseases or reverse the ageing process, they may delay the onset of age-related health problems. Ways to slow aging could eventually be offered to people through a range of methods—most likely as life-extension pills.
Imagine what life would be like if scientists developed biotechnologies to slow aging so that people could live past 150 years.
After the vignette, they were asked whether they agree or disagree (on a 7-point scale) with the five questions discussed below. If the participants indicated any level of agreement, they were asked to briefly explain their view and name the most important reasons for their answer.
1. There are ethical or moral issues surrounding life extension research that I find concerning.
More than half (58%) thought that there were some ethical concerns with life extension, the most common being that life extension was "unnatural". Phrases such as "tampering with nature" or "playing God" were common. Second on the list of ethical concerns was the impact of life extension on society and the environment. Overpopulation and lack of sufficient resources were seen as potential problems.
Other ethical concerns included the worry of only rich people having access to life extension technologies and conflicts with religious beliefs. Some participants also felt that funding should be directed to more pressing issues such as treating diseases and poverty, rather than life extension.
2. There would be benefits for me personally from aging slower and living to 150.
Two thirds (64%) thought that a life extension pill would benefit them personally. The most commonly cited benefit was spending more time family members and living to meet future generations of one's family. Almost as many participants saw the ability to experience more things and fulfill life goals as a positive thing.
Being healthier for a longer time was also seen as a benefit, and some felt "living longer" was a benefit that required no further explanation. Only a few (2%) participants named cosmetic improvements as an important benefit, while 7% said they wanted to see what future socities and technologies would look like.
3. There would be downsides for me personally from aging slower and living to 150.
About 80% could name at least one downside to taking a life extension pill. The biggest worry was that the pill would grant extra years of unhealthy life. Living for a long time with a chronic illness was a common fear, as was the uncertainty of physical and mental abilities in someone who is 150.
Second on the list were financial issues with living longer. Many felt that they wouldn't be able to afford to live for many more years. The third problem, identified by 12%, was outliving friends and family: "If I was to take this medication my friends may not take it and you would slowly watch friends die around you.'" Only 5% saw boredom as an issue.
4. Developing life-extension pills would have benefits for society overall.
Half of the participants thought there were some benefits to society from life extension technologies. The most commonly identified benefit was an increase in collective human wisdom and knowledge. The fact that important people such as doctors, scientists, etc. would be around for longer was also seen as a good thing. The third most common benefit was the personal ability to contribute to society more.
5. Developing life-extension pills would have downsides for society overall.
The majority (78%) thought that life extension would have at least some negative consequences for society. Overpopulation was again the most common downside. Participants also felt that health care, housing, food production and welfare would suffer as a consequence, and that there would not be enough resources to support everyone.
The main objection to life extension is still the idea that there is something unnatural and therefore bad about life extension. This thinking seems to be prevalent in religious and non-religious people alike. Other worries include overpopulation and lack of resources in a world where people live significantly longer. Quite a few are also afraid that only the rich will have access to rejuvenation therapies once they become available. Finally, some people worry that these therapies will only prolong unhealthy years, making living longer miserable.
Yet, people also see many positives in life extension. A recurring theme among those surveyed was the ability to spend more time with their family and to live long enough to see their grand-grandchildren grow up. People also felt that a longer life would allow them to experience more things and achieve more of their dreams. Though lack of resources was seen as a problem on the level of societies, many also saw the increase of collective knowledge and the ability to contribute more to society as positive effects of life extension.
And there we have it: the way the average person feels about life extension today. Although seeing the same old pro-aging arguments repeated again and again frustrates me, the fact that so many people were able to see the good things in living longer makes me optimistic. All that is required, then, is to talk to people who have doubts about whether life extension is desirable, to understand where they're coming from, and to get them to open their eyes.
I've already offered some counterarguments to the objections mentioned above in earlier blog posts, but I suppose a more detailed dissection of the arguments is in order. Since most people clearly have the same fears and questions, we might as well learn how to answer them to the best of our abilities. It's about time we break the pro-aging trance, isn't it?

Pettigrew, Andrew (1975) Towards a Political Theory of Organizational Intervention. Human Relations, 28 (3). pp. 191-208.
This paper discusses the neglected theme of the political context of the interventionist's work in terms of the client-consultant relationship and the consultant-consultant relationship. It is suggested that the internal consultant's ability to influence clients will be a function of his possession and tactical use of five power resources: expertise, control over information, political access and sensitivity, assessed stature and group support. Of these, the first three appear to be necessary but not sufficient conditions for consultant power. Once he has the political access and understanding, the consultant's ability to negotiate and persuade depends on his assessed stature with the appropriate figures in his political network.
