Dr. Koprowski's calling it "DONE With Diabetes*". This step by step easy to follow guide shows you exactly which combinations of natural supplements and foods could help you fighting back your Type II Diabetes and Prediabetes. ...and it's backed by a 60 Day Hassle-Free 100% Money Back Guarantee!
It also includes my most powerful and effective techniques for normalizing blood sugar levels, to help increasing natural insulin production. All of the techniques are easy to do and simple to follow. All you need to do is make your way through the steps in the order they're laid out in the guide.
It really is that simple.
People all over the world send in stories of their incredible success using our system.
It's giving them a second chance… it's giving them their life back.
I want you to join this group of exclusive people. People who seek the truth.
All the hard work has been done for you…
Let me show you what I mean.
Let's take a rare look inside Dr. Koprowski's system.
To make the system easier to navigate, we've split it into four modules:
Module 1 is called: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You About Your Diabetes
...and it will give you a whole new perspective on diabetes… and just how simple it is to be fighting it.
Additionally, you'll learn the root cause behind many of Diabetes most common health problems… like tingling painful neuropathy.
…and the science-backed unheard tricks you can use.
You'll be amazed how how these tricks will help eliminating your "Insulin Insensitivity" and at the same time shrink your waistline!
Module 2 or... The REAL truth behind modern day "Treatments" and why the FDA wants you "Hooked"
In this powerful module we'll give you the rundown on your current treatment option by "industry standards."
I must warn you...
You'll be sickened at the truth behind some of today's most common treatments.
We'll show you undeniable proof that these lab-created concoctions are far less effective than safer, natural alternatives.
It will also reveal why these drugs, and the FDA are totally failing the public.
When you're done with this module, you'll truly understand why it's so important to get your body off these dangerous and expensive medications.
Then there's Module 3: "DONE With Diabetes*"
This is where Dr. Koprowski shares in-detail his seven-day system.
He'll show you the "Power Four" - four foods with anti-diabetes properties and how to incorporate them into an effective meal plan.
In simple terms, he'll show you the science behind his approach and why it works amazingly.
Then he'll give you a step-by-step plan you can follow each day to help fighting back your diabetes without ever stepping foot in a hospital… adding years of vitality to your life.
...and finally, Module 4: A New Life Without Diabetes: Ensuring Diabetes Can Never Come Back
The fourth and final section is designed to share the best tips and supplements for keeping your body away from diabetes - even if you enjoy a little desert from time to time.
I personally use these powerful supplements to ensure my diabetes stays gone while I treat myself to some of my favorite foods.
You'd be surprised at how many people have zero clue about any of these unique natural supplements that do wonders for diabetes… yet our system is filled with them.
It's easy to see that this system jampacked with everything you need to beat back your diabetes.
...and that's not even all you'll be getting!
You'll also unlock two bonus reports!
"Natural metabolism boosters" and "Science of Sleep"
You're going to be shocked at just how a few low-impact exercises a week can keep your metabolism "jumpstarted" every day.
...and how you can lay to rest some of the most common issues preventing you from getting a good night's sleep.
Lack of sleep is directly linked to many health problems, including diabetes… and even Alzheimer's!
Sadly, we spend most of our lives trying to "catch up" on the sleep we need for healthy functioning.
This section alone reduces diabetes' impact by 20%!
Lastly, we'll also grant you access to Dr. Koprowski's Antidiabetes Method: Drugs & Health Foods to Throw Away And Never Buy Again.
You'll uncover how some of today's "diabetes danger" foods are disguising themselves as "health" foods… running down your diabetes clock like a ticking timebomb.
To make matters worse, some of the most commonly used medications are directly ruining America's health - and even causing diabetes.
This guide will be a cornerstone to your continued health, and will ensure that you and your family stays protected against diabetes' top risk factors for decades to come.
Today, over 12,000 Americans just like you are already using the "DONE with Diabetes* System". And across the board, the results are incredible.
I know that probably still leaves you with some questions, so I'll do my best to answer some of the most common ones I'm asked.
Most importantly, I want to you to see the whole picture, so you can have the peace of mind needed to make the decision that's right for you and your family.
The first question I usually get asked is, "How long before I'll see results?"
This is a difficult question to answer because each individual's diabetic circumstance is different. One case of diabetes can be far worse than another. I also can't guarantee how closely each person will follow our system. I don't want to make promises that won't be kept, so I don't like giving exact time periods. What I can promise, is that this system is scientifically backed and all natural with no side effects. Almost everyone who uses the system correctly will see very real, measurable changes within only seven days.
The next most frequent question is, "Will this work for me?"
The truth is, each individual case of diabetes is little different. While I can't promise that this will work in your specific case... please remember that these techniques are tried and true, and have been backed by scientific studies. They have provided remarkable improvements in thousands of people already, so there's a very, very good chance that this system will work for you too, whatever your situation, and however long you've been suffering from Diabetes.
That leads me on to another common question I get sent, do you offer a money back guarantee?
The answer is of course, yes, absolutely. I want as many people as possible to benefit from our system, so I'm effectively giving you a free 2-month trial here so you have absolutely nothing to lose. If you order today, you have a full 60 days to put these techniques to the test in your own time and from the comfort of your own home, and if you don't witness dramatic results in your blood-sugar, you don't pay.
It's as simple as that, and because I genuinely want to help you, I'm actually going to let you keep the entire system, even if you do ask for your money back. All I ask is that you commit to the system and follow the protocol because I'm confident that if you do, then the last thing you'll be doing is emailing me for a refund. Instead, you'll be thanking me for transforming your life or the life of your mother, father, grandma, grandpa, or whoever it may be.
Another question that people often ask is about the ordering process and whether their details will be secure.
I can absolutely guarantee you that they are so please don't worry. Our ordering system contains state of the art encryption technology, so when you order with us, your information is completely safe and secure. In fact, you can feel more secure ordering through us than from almost anywhere else on the internet.
Finally, I've had a few emails recently from people asking me how long the "DONE With Diabetes*" will be available for, maybe because they want to order but didn't have the money at that particular time.
I'll give you the answer that I gave them, which is this, I honestly don't know. The truth is there's been a lot of pressure on us to take this website down. Big Pharma makes billions every year from diabetes drugs and the chances are anything that threatens that income stream won't be around for long. We're fighting the system as best we can, and so far we've resisted even though we've been threatened with legal action several times. I recommend that you do it now before it's too late.
Go ahead and click the button below, input your details and you'll be taken through to our private members only area, where you'll be able to access the complete The "DONE With Diabetes*: All Natural System" and try it for a full 60 days, absolutely risk free. This has been Jacob Kruger and I look forward to hearing your success stories very soon.
Still here?
Remember, your purchase today doesn't only help YOU fight back the devastating diabetes disease...we are also donating a portion of the proceeds to help others.
People who we just can't reach with our system yet, and need help fighting Diabetes in a different way.
Please say you'll be the answer for an innocent victim of Diabetes, who are suffering right now...
Victims who needs your help fighting this tragic disease. Please act now. Become a member and support millions suffering with this disease.
This is your chance to say, "I won't just sit by, and let my fellow Americans suffer alone from this tragic disease." Please click or call below, right now.
At this point, the decision should be easy, and if you're ready to make it, you should act quickly.
You see, this natural system is a direct threat to the multi-billion dollar drug and healthcare industry that the pharmaceutical corporations are swarming.
These corporate giants are furious that this product is even available. Their interactions with me have become increasingly more agitated. Soon, the false lawsuits will start piling in, and I'll be forced to remove the "DONE With Diabetes System*" from the web.
I don't want to do that, but their financial resources are seemingly limitless, and they pull a lot of weight in the courts. Simply participating in the legal battles could bankrupt us. Worst of all, the threats that pour in may force me to put my families safety first and take it down.
So I'm urging you, don't let Big Pharma and their lobbyists win.
Don't let them keep any natural solution from you, like they have so many others.
Don't let them stop you and your loved ones reclaiming your most precious possessions… a free and healthy life.
Most of all, don't let them force your family into being dependant on their drugs.
We both know what needs to be done.

CELOP Alumni: Where are they now? Jose Alberto Galarza Villasenor, Mexico
Jose Alberto Galarza Villasenor dreams big. He is currently preparing to apply...
"Some of you know him as a CELOP student, but being a CELOP student is just one of his roles," said CELOP staff Shelley Bertolino introducing renowned Chinese instrumentalist Yazhi Guo. Guo gave a performance recently in the CELOP lobby to an audience of CELOP students, faculty and staff.
Guo was charismatic and engaging during his performance of traditional Chinese instruments. "He made me laugh," said staff member Sarah Okubo, "he was very charming." Guo began his performance by playing the suona instrument over a jazz recording. He then proceeded to demonstrate a variety of Chinese instruments, and exclaimed "I can play everything!" To prove the point, a leaf was brought to him, on which he played an elaborate song. Guo finished his performance by saying "my English teacher, she's a nice teacher. I think CELOP, all the teachers are nice. I love you!" He finished by playing the guanzi instrument to the James Bond song "Skyfall". "That was the most interesting part," said CELOP student, Carlos Bravo. "He brings what he knows, and plays it with something we all know, that's what I liked."
Yazhi Guo has been a member of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra since 1999. He graduated with distinction from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, and has won many awards and national recognitions including the grand prize at New York's International Pro Musicis in 1998. He's performed with many orchestras around the world including Orhcestre de la Suisse Switzerland, South Korea Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra, Belgium's Flanders Symphony Orchestra, Malaysia Chinese Orchestra, Singapore Chinese Orchestra, and National Chinese Orchestra Taiwan. Recently Yazhi has begun studying Jazz at the Berkeley School of Music. He has also lectured at Harvard University.
"This is my dream!" Guo said to the audience about playing in international settings. "My dream is coming true!"

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Mentornet, Sunnyvale, CA, USA
I've had the opportunity to mentor eight students thus far. I like the ability to choose specific ethnicities to support, because I know that helping men and women like me, I can make a real difference because I have a better understanding of the cultural, linguistic, and educational challenges they may be facing. The biweekly mentoring suggestions provide great ideas for discussions and remind me to check in on my protege if I haven't heard from them in awhile. I have learned just as much from my proteges as they have learned from me, and it's great to hear from some of my past proteges to learn how they are doing and to share in their successes.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Review for Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology, Palo Alto, CA, USA
Wow -- where do I start? I first became aware of ABI when I attended GHC 2006. It was the first conference I had attended that was female dominated, and what a difference it made! Instead of being exhausted by constantly having to put myself "out there", I could relax and enjoy the technical and non-technical conversations, sessions, and networking. I came back to work invigorated, motivated, and energized. ABI has also been invaluable in hosting a community for Latinas in Computing, where we've been able to reach out to Latinas throughout the world to promote and develop them as they move through their career stages. The staff is dedicated and tireless in their advocacy, and their leading edge research has greatly benefited the women in my organization. Participating as part of the conference team has been tremendously rewarding, knowing that you are positively impacting the lives of women in computing.

One thing I'd also say is that...
I'd do more if I had the time!
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every week
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Thank you so much, Patty! Your story is a great example of why we do this work. And Latinas in Computing is a model of what happens when we facilitate and support technical women in coming together. And while we are completely in favor of you winning Powerball :-) our partners in academia, industry and government do a fantastic job of supporting our work. We are grateful to them every day!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: phranque
i need a network related project to be done, something like a network filter. where could i look for someone who could do the job? can you recommend me some websites?
thanks a lot!
If you know what problem you want to solve, I would advice you to first look around if software already exists for what you are looking for. There is quite a lot of networking software around and even buying an expensive piece of software will cost you less money, bugs to fix and sleepless nights than a project you want to outsource to somebody you don't know. You will often also get features you didn't ask for, but which may be very handy once you use them.
I am stealing my own bread with this advice because I am a programmer myself, but if you can buy it, never consider to invent the wheel again.
They will have technical recruiters who know their talent pool personally. They typically have worked with them on multiple assignments. The recruiters know the technology sufficiently to match-up the right programmer with the right employer. This can be a very difficult thing for the average person to do, particularly without technical background. This is what a technical recruiter does all day, every day. Find one with experience!
It will be expensive (the best talent is expensive to begin with, and the agency tacks a HEFTY profit margin on top of the programmer's hourly rate) and if you are a small company or individual, you may have difficulty convincing a top firm to work for you. (If you are a bigger company, no problem.) Top agencies will cherry-pick both their talent and their employers.
I am not a technical recruiter - just a programmer who has worked through them for most of the work I have done over the past 30 years. I don't mind taking a somewhat lower rate, because of the benefit I get from working through an agency. (I've never been stiffed, they do all the negotiating, they don't waste my time - typically I am hired after a telephone interview, because the recruiter has already done the necessary pre-qualification.)
Depending on where you live, you might pay, say, $90/hour, with the agency paying the programmer $75. Some markets are lower than this, some higher, and of course there is some variability with the experience of the programmer. (OK, get up off of the floor now, and just BREATHE SLOWLY and take DEEP BREATHS!)
You can expect to pay a direct freelancer somewhere between the two rates. Good ones will know the going rates for a given market, and know that they can't charge the full rate that an agency charges, but can get a bit more than the agencies pay, so typically will split the difference.
BTW, it's considered in bad taste for both employers and employees to do an "end around" and cut the agency out. It's typically written into contracts - you are not to contact employees directly for (typically a year or two) after engaging them through an agency. I've occasionally had an agency give an employer a "release", or "buy-out", though, after doing a long contract for them.

What do I need to improve on this Hub in order to increase the score?
In advance, thank-you for constructive criticism.
Hi seraphic, it looks like a great hub to me! The hub score changes with time, it usually starts low at publishing and eventually grow, don't worry too much about it.
To attract more readers I would consider a few things.
- Make you title more specific, more informative about what info is included, possibly using high search terms.
- Same with your subtitles, try to explain in a few words what the paragraph says. (for example: "Deposits" is very generic, maybe something like Rhodochrosite Deposits Around the World?)
- Make your photo(s) something that people would like to pin, maybe adding text to them. Amazing the amount of traffic some hubs can get from Pinterest.
Great hub, keep up with the good job!
Take out the deceptive medical claims. Google does not look kindly on statements about how wearing certain gemstones will effect how your kidneys actually function. They consider such content fraudulent.
Write article which is unique and mostly your passionate work and attract large number of audience and use phrases which is on trend.
Hi Buddy,
Do post some unique content and give a attractive Call to action for your Blog content ,Surely there will be more number of visitors and you can increase your Hub Score as well.
When you make medical statements that are factually true,how do you cite source it in your Hub?
As an RN, you can cite your own research, if you have any. Use APA citation style preferred by HubPages and cite specific, peer-reviewed medical and research books and articles that are "scholarly articles." These articles are found in professional journals online and in health profession libraries and research libraries at universities and hospitals. The writers usually have advanced college degrees and are licensed as doctors, nurses, dentists, chiropractors, physical and occupational therapists, etc. Once in a while, an acupuncturist joins a group of licensed professionals in an article.
Examples: Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the website of the US National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and the website of the Mayo Clinic.
Many magazines, websites, and leaflets are not credible sources for medical information, especially from writers without recognized health related licenses. Check with the Alternative Medicine facility listed above, if you are unsure.
Excellent! I did not know that I could use APA sourcing, very familiar with it as I have to compile items annually.
In each capsule should I source, or just source at the end in an individual capsule?
I have loads of corrections to add then for each of my Hubs.
I usually source at the very end, after all my text capsules, unless I decide it is important for readers to see sources for each capsule - like, for each of different aspects of a topic.
If you are making medical statements that are factually true, then you cite the actual medical research supporting your statements. For instance, if you want to say that a gemstone effects your kidney function, then you will want to reference the medical study which examined this theory and whose verified-participant data proves it really works that way.
Discussing folk uses or historical customs is NOT the same as making a medical statement. Dubious claims of genuine medical effect fall under "fraud" which can be legally worse than being viewed as spam.
On eBay, if you were selling semi-precious stones and claiming they had medical uses and effects, they would shut down your auctions for those sorts of statements because the actual use and effects cannot be verified.
Thank you all for your advice, it will be used!
I only write about what interests me and that I have experienced through exploration and research. My hobbies are Rock Hounding, Nutrition and helping others.
I'll have a look at your Hubs in the future. Much success to you.
hey, all of the suggestions are surely have some points, actually they're good. just grab a bite o'them looking forward to your success.

A good night's sleep is said to help make sure that you have glowing, beautiful skin. But, what if you did not get your beauty sleep? We will share with you a few things you can do to ensure that your skin glows in the morning, even if you don't get enough sleep.
Sometimes, it can be really difficult to get the prescribed amount of sleep. Especially with the hectic schedules that most of us follow. Or may be, you're in the habit to sleep really late because you're either on the internet or are reading a book.
Whatever be the cause, it is really difficult to get enough sleep. But, it does that mean that you can't have glowing skin in the morning? Yes, of course, you can use makeup. But, did you know that not even makeup will make your skin look glowing if it's not naturally healthy?
Luckily, there are a few things you can do to ensure that your face glows early in the morning and that your makeup looks great. Here they are.
1. Washing Your Face: One of the first things you should do when you wake up in the morning is to splash your face with cold water. This not only helps wake you up, but also gives a nice flush to your skin. You can also use a mild face wash.
2. Exfoliate: Want that extra glow of polished skin? Use a scrub after you wash your face. This helps get rid of the dead skin cells to give way to healthier, glowing skin.
3. Mask: If you want even healthier-looking skin, use a face pack or mask after this. One with activated charcoal, which can really help get rid of all the impurities from deep in the skin.
4. Eyes: If you don't get enough sleep at night, it's only natural to wake up with puffy eyes. To make your eyes open up and to de-puff them, use cucumber slices or ice cubes. The cold can help get rid of the puffiness.
5. Serum: Use a face serum. It is the lightest product that you can use on the skin. This helps smoothen the skin and some serums even help delay the signs of ageing.
6. Moisturise: Moisturising is the most important step to having a glowing skin. Make sure you massage the moisturiser in, so that the skin absorbs the moisture. This is one of the most important tips on how to get glowing skin in the morning.
7. Face Oil: For an added boost of moisture and glow, use a face oil. Make sure it is a light oil that gets absorbed into the skin.
8. Eye Cream: The skin of the under-eye area is really thin and sensitive, which makes it even more important to provide it with enough moisture. Massage a good eye cream on the under-eye area regularly.
9. BB Cream: Use a BB cream to get a very sheer and natural-looking glow. The benefits of a BB cream is that it provides moisture and sun protection while evening out the skin tone.
10. Water: And this has got to be one of the things to do to get glowing skin in the morning!Start the morning by drinking at least one glass of water daily. To make this really effective, squeeze the juice from one lemon into the water and drink it.

The PokerStars account "$tinger88" is 62nd on the list of biggest poker winners with a profit of $976,484 after a little over 71,000 hands, according to HighStakesDB.
The Full Tilt Poker account "LucLongley" is 34th on that same list with a profit of $1,492,940 over almost 172,000 hands played.
The man behind both accounts is Brian Hastings.

On top of his online winnings, Hastings has amassed close to $2.5 million in earnings. He holds three World Series of Poker bracelets, finishing runner-up to Mike Gorodinsky in the 2015 WSOP Player of the Year race.
Brian Hastings is, without a doubt, one of the greatest players in the history of the game. He has shown incredible results both online and live in just about all the games of poker there are to play.
Recently, Hastings announced he's quitting poker as a full-time profession. In an extensive blog over on BrianHastings.com, Hastings wrote about his journey through poker and his decision to leave the game, now focusing on a tea startup called UniTea.
While his results speak for themselves, a lot of poker fans won't remember Hastings solely for his results. Instead, two controversies he was involved in will pop up in many railbirds' heads when they hear Hastings' name. Hastings acknowledges that and uses most of his farewell blog to address his side of the story. Time to put things in perspective, one last time.
Hastings Wins $4.2 Million Against "Isildur1"
It's October 2009 when the "Isildur1" account first appears on Full Tilt Poker. While new accounts popped up every now and then at the time (the unknown "Martonas" account preceded Isildur1), it was clear from the get-go that Isildur1 was different. Nobody knew who was behind the account, but he was ready to play, so much was clear.
Isildur1 quickly lost a million only to win everything back and much more, playing against Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey. The account wasn't backing down, taking on anyone and everyone.
These were the best of times for railbirds with stakes as high as $500/$1.000 and huge pots all the time. Isildur1 lost the biggest pot ever ($1.3 million) to Antonius in November 2009, but won the second biggest pot ($1.1 million) two days later.
Isildur1 was a sensation; the entire world of poker was talking about the action online. Railbirds and professional players logged in daily just to catch a glimpse. Some of them just for entertainment, others to do research. One of the players in the latter category, was Brian Hastings.
Hastings was already a well-established name. He was known as "$tinger88" on PokerStars and played under his own name on Full Tilt Poker as he was part of Cardrunners, a strategy website that had just been bought by Tiltware.
On Dec. 9, 2009, Brian Hastings sat down to battle Isildur1 heads up. In a legendary session, Hastings won a whopping $4.2 million! When the dust settled, Hastings wrote a blog on Cardrunners.com called "Reflecting on a Very Special Day":
"Wow. I just had the biggest winning day in online poker history. Did this really happen? I'm still having a tough time believing it did […] When everyone starts playing poker, the dream is that one day they will hit it big and make obscene amounts of money that one couldn't fathom working a 9-5 (well most 9-5s).
But for most, this is just a pipe dream. For it to happen, one needs a combination of very large amounts of both skill and luck […]. And here I am, winning a record $4.18 million in one day (well not exactly – no I didn't have 100% of my own action, and no I am not going into any further detail about this) playing online poker."
Hastings wrote about his journey in poker, how he had raced through the stakes and how his preparation had been key in beating Isildur1. He even felt sorry for Isidlur1.
"Although we are adults gambling with our money and know the risks, I do feel bad for Isildur to a point," Hastings wrote. "Last year I had a 1.4m downswing at 500/1k taking 100% of my action (unbelievably stupid), so I've been there. He's a talented player and I hope he rebounds and I think he will. Maybe this blog entry will even help him."
Hastings took his time thanking those who had influenced him: his high school basketball coach, Cardrunners founder Taylor Caby and all his friends and family.
Two poker players he thanked were Brian Townsend and Cole South, team members at Cardrunners at the time. On Dec. 14, 2009, ESPN published an interview with Hastings. The article, written by Gary Wise, would bring a lot of heat on Hastings, mostly for two segments that focused on the preparations Hastings had done to battle his opponent.
"Hastings had played Isildur1 three times previously, so he, Townsend and Cole South conglomerated their hand histories, allowing them to study the mystery man's playing style," Wise wrote.
Hastings was quoted in the article:
" We've done quite a bit of studying of his habits […] Honestly, I give most of the credit to Brian Townsend here. I mean, Brian is honestly the hardest worker I know in poker. He analyzed a database of heads-up hands that Isildur1 had played and constructed ranges of what Isildur1 was doing in certain spots.
In a way, I feel bad that it wasn't Brian who got this win instead of me. Obviously I'm happy and I'll take it, but Brian did a ton of work. The three of us discussed a ton of hands and the reports that Brian made, so I'm very thankful to him and to Cole as well. "
In his most recent blog, Hastings reflected on the interview with a bitter taste in his mouth.
"I explained to Gary post-interview that the words were inaccurate and taken out of context," Hastings said in his blog. "He replied that I said them on tape, so of course they were true. That was when I first learned that poker media probably doesn't have my best interests at heart."
The above comments frustrated Wise last week, but his comments on Facebook have since been removed.
The interview brought a lot of trouble for Hastings as poker players and community members from all over the world were angered that they had combined their databases to get a bigger sample size. The fact that one of his associates had bought hands from a website to get an even bigger sample didn't go over well with the community either.
The discussion was mostly held in a thread on Two Plus Two called '"Could isildur1 get his money back because of Hastings + co 'cheating" by user 'HogMajor.'
The opening post of the thread quoted the FTP terms and conditions that showed that sharing hand histories wasn't allowed.
Isildur1, still anonymous at the time, talked to Matthew Parvis of PokerNews.com:
"In the days leading up to the session with Hastings, I played with Brian Townsend and Cole South a lot. They were always waiting for me. The last session where Hastings won all the money, it just felt like something was wrong. Everything that could go wrong for me did. Every time I tried to pull off a bluff of some kind, it felt as if it was being picked off.
At the time, I just thought it was crazy luck, but now, knowing they shared a lot of their analysis of hand histories with each other, it makes a lot more sense. I feel like Hastings, and even South and Townsend when we played the last few times, had an advantage over me."
Isildur1 said he would be filing a formal complaint with the site because he thought that things were unfair.
"Yes, I do feel like I deserve to get something back," Isuldur said. "I feel that Hastings had a big edge over me due to the hand history database. They were able to dissect the exact way I was playing because they analyzed the hands so precisely, and it was impossible for me to adjust, as I had no idea they were doing it."
Isildur1 said he wouldn't be playing on Full Tilt Poker for some time, but he never made good on that promise.
Full Tilt Poker started an investigation and concluded that just Brian Townsend had broken the rules for buying hand histories. Proof of a shared database of hands did not exist in their eyes; it was bad phrasing by Hastings. Townsend was stripped of his Red Pro status for a month and that was the end of it.
Townsend wrote a blog about it, which has since been deleted. A section of that blog spelled out the allegations and answered for them:
" Allegations
I wanted to clear up some allegations about Brian Hastings, Cole South and myself. First Brian H. Cole S. and myself never colluded. Collusion is nearly impossible HU but there was always one person playing and never any ghosting occurring. In fact the only person to break the T&C of FullTilt Poker was myself. I had about 20k hands of play on Isildur and I acquired another 30k hands.
This is against the T&C of FullTilt Poker, and because of this violation, I am going to have my red pro status suspended for one month.
Of the three I was the sole one to break the T&C of FullTilt. The three of us never shared hands where mucked hands were shown besides a few hands I posted on weaktight.org, and in fact, all the information I received could be taken from watching the game.
This is not saying what I did wasn't wrong as FullTilt is very clear in its T&C, rather it's to clear up the type of wrong doing I partook in.
As for the accusations of team play, Cole Hastings and I live about 3,000 miles from each other. I have never played on Brian H's or Cole S's account. As for "conglomerating hand histories," it's simply not an accurate statement.
I analyzed the database I put together and the three of us chatted about my analysis and optimal strategy against Isildur.
According to Full Tilt's T&C this is a permissible discussion as it's super common for players at all stakes to discuss strategy and certain players tendencies. Any discussion we had occured away from the table when we were not playing a session."
While Full Tilt Poker's judgment and Townsend's blog were pretty clear, people remained skeptical of what exactly had happened. The story that they had combined their databases stuck, especially since Townsend was already under scrutiny after he had admitted in a blog a year before that he had played under different accounts ("Stellarnebula" on Full Tilt Poker and "makersmark66" on PokerStars).
After Full Tilt Poker announced their punishment of Townsend, Cole South too reacted on the situation in post 1,308 of the thread:
Hi everyone,
I'd like to try to help clear up some issues on my side. There has been a lot of intelligent debate that I would be happy to answer.
1.) Full Tilt very understandably did not want us to comment during an ongoing investigation, and they have found that I did not breach the site's rules in any way.
2.) A shared hand history database seems to be the main issue of contention. I have discussed many difficult hands from play against Isildur with Brian Hastings and Brian Townsend, posted on pokerhand.org where we can give each other feedback.
I have never sent or received raw hand history data to Brian Townsend or Brian Hastings (or anyone else for that matter) — reports of a "conglomerated" database of all of our hand histories from play with him are absolutely false.
My hand histories showing Isildur's mucked cards are in only my possession, and I don't have any hand histories from Brian Hastings or Brian Townsend's matches, such a database is not possible.
3.) Team play is another point that has been brought up. I have never played on Brian Townsend or Brian Hastings accounts, used a program to see their screen or let them see mine, nor have I been in their presence while any of us played online poker since a Cardrunners meeting about a year ago.
Never have I asked for or been asked for strategy advice during a hand. I'd like to reiterate, the one-player-to-a-hand rule was never broken here.
4.) I'm not going to get into finances, but I have never played a single hand at a table with a player who I have had a piece of. That's the only issue I could think of that would be relevant with regard to action sharing."
South commented a couple times more in the thread (comment 1,416 and 1,417 for example), but the discussion continued for five days and most people had already made up their mind. 'Hastings was a cheater and had won the money unfairly!' was what was stuck in their heads.
Last year, Cole South was a guest on Joey Ingram's Poker Life Podcast. The two talked about the situation one last time. From 48:49 till 55:20, South describes what had happened.
"Stinger gave an interview with ESPN – Gary Wise, I think was the reporter – and said something to the effect, or at least Gary thought, that we merged our hand histories into one database and then used that to come up with some strategy against Isildur, which absolutely did not happen," South said. "I've got my hand histories, I've never sent them to Stinger or Brian Townsend and I never received any of theirs. Stone cold, zero of that."
Townsend did buy hand histories from PTR, though, South says in the podcast.
"These are, as they say, 'public hand histories' they didn't have, like the mucked hole cards," he said. "They weren't my hand histories from my matches against Isildur."
Beyond that, South said they exchanged overall tips for play against Isildur, but in the same way poker players talk strategy.
"It was not anything remotely, I hesitate to say 'useful,'" South told Ingram. "It was like this guy's aggressive in this spot. It was just like talking to your friends about poker. He sent like an e-mail with maybe three points on things he would do when he's playing against Isildur. I talk about my opponents' strategies pretty frequently with people I'm playing. This was extremely tame, nothing remotely I would consider out of line."
Bakes accused Brian Hastings of multi-accounting and the thread "Hastings Wins $10k Stud and $1.5k Ten-Game Mix Bracelets" on Two Plus Two focused more and more on the allegations.
The moderators soon broke up the thread and started a new one with the title "Brian Hastings Accused of Multi-Accounting as NoelHayes."
Brian Hastings commented in the thread, but didn't deny the allegations.
Later, on June 25, Baker posted a photo of a personal message in which Hastings admitted the multi-accounting. In October of that year, Marty Derbyshire interviewed Hastings for PokerNews.com.
In this interview, Hastings explained his play on PokerStars on the "NoelHayes" account.
"After two years of therapy, trying hard to find alternative solutions and continuing to feel helpless, I made a regretful lapse in judgment," Hastings said. "I just wanted to be able to play the game I love, and that made me who I am today, in the way I used to be able to. My depressed state of mind prevented me from thinking about the situation in the way others have thought about it for a while and I realize now. For that, I apologize."
In his most recent blog, Brian Hastings added on to that sentiment.
"At one point, he said he could set me up with a PokerStars account that I could play on from Florida with no trace," Hastings said. "I was depressed again and missing online poker dearly and feeling out of good options, so I took him up on it. It was the wrong thing to do, but I justified it by how wronged I felt by the entire industry. Mental health played a big role in my decision.
And now Hastings is leaving poker. Or at least he's no longer considering poker his full-time profession. The days of "$tinger88," "LucLongley" and "NoelHayes" are behind us and it's unlikely Hastings will return to the online tables anytime soon.
He might not be liked by all, but it's undeniable Hastings was one of the best, and he gave railbirds one of the most thrilling sessions to follow along with in the history of the game.
In a new podcast with CardPlayer, Hastings discusses his decision to quit poker, his new business venture and much more:

Because atmospheric turbulence sometimes causes serious problems for aircraft operations, so it is necessary to detect and bypass turbulence. However, turbulence is difficult to detect by the in situ radiosonde observations or by a wind profiler radar (WPR) network such as WINDAS of Japan Meteorological Agency because of the temporal resolution and available altitude data are inadequate. Therefore, information from the Pilot Weather Report (PIREP) has been almost the only usable turbulence data. To develop the next generation WPR and a better method to detect turbulence, Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH) of Kyoto University, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), and Meteorological Research Institute carried out collaborative research from 2011 to 2015. As a part of this research project, experimental observations to compare the prototype of the next generation 1.3GHz WPR (LQ-13) and radiosondes (Vaisala RS92-SGP) were conducted during December, 2012 at NICT (Koganei City, Tokyo). In this study, we compared the turbulent eddy dissipation rates (EDRs) determined with WPR from the Doppler spectrum width data with those determined with radiosondes by using the Thorpe analysis method. The results showed that EDRs determined by both methods were almost consistent. Qualitatively, the EDR increases as the PIREP turbulent intensity increases, but quantitative conclusions could not be reached because there were not enough number of data for moderate or stronger turbulence cases. Because the retrieved EDRs were smaller than International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex3 criteria, it will be necessary to assess the EDR criteria for turbulence intensity categories.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Tomorrow, across the nation, thousands will gather to remember those who died in the attacks of September 11, 2001.
On that day over 2,800 people were killed including over 1,400 employees at 1 World Trade Center in New York alone. Overall, 19,858 body parts were found and 20 percent of Americans knew someone who was hurt or killed in the attacks.
Though it has been 10 years since America was largely shaken by terrorism, the pain of losing a loved one still lives within the souls of many citizens. On this anniversary organizations across the country have planned events to help remember those who lost their lives in the horrific acts.
"Rituals, such as the 10th anniversary commemorative events, give us an opportunity to come together as community members," reads the website of 9-11HealingandRememberance.org, a non-profit remembrance organization for the families, loved ones and community members of victims.
Ten years after the attacks, two major memorials are opening on the anniversary of September 11: The National 9-11 Memorial in New York City and the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, PA.
In New York the memorial, which stands where the two world trade center buildings once stood before collapsing, will be dedicated on September 11, 2011 in a special ceremony for victims' families. It will open to the public on September 12, 2011 with the reservation of a visitor pass. To obtain a visitor pass visit here.
The new memorial in Pennsylvania is placed at the field where Flight 93, scheduled to depart from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco crashed. After the dedication ceremony taking place today at 12:30 p.m. EST, which can be watched live on History.com, the memorial will be open to the public.

Department of Architecture & Spatial Planning Namibia University of Science & Technology
Kerry McNamara Architects recently completed the new Department of Architecture and Spatial Planning at the University of Science & Technology. This 4 storey building is designed for the education of students of architecture and spatial planning. The design principles of Kerry McNamara Architects revolve around the idea of educational, human and social spaces creating various levels of public and private teaching, learning and social interactive spaces internally and externally.
At an urban design scale the form and orientation of the building purposefully responds to the environment, to the greater campus as a whole and to the existing campus Pedestrian Street and human student user. It does this by the buildings being orientated to predominantly face North and South in accordance with the new sustainability regulations controlling solar gain through correct orientation.
The entrances and front facades of the building relate to the existing pedestrian street by providing a human scaled interactive ground level edge through recesses and structural colonnade's that enable the pedestrian to interact with the building and be protected from the elements. Deep recessed façades prevent solar gain, while skylights reflect light deep into floor levels and into communal learning and social spaces cutting on artificial energy costs.
The use of low maintenance materials and exposed concrete slabs and structural walls create a more sustainable building yet enhance its ability to educate on 'how it has been made'. All finishes externally and internally have been considered in their longevity and aesthetic appeal to the user.
Architects / Principal Agents: Kerry McNamara Architects Inc
Project Architects: Rowan McNamara, Kevan McNamara, Kobus Smit
Civil & Structural: Urich Consulting Engineers
Electrical & Mechanical: EMCON Consulting Group
Quantity Surveyor: Wicks, Goosen & Pineo
Contractor: Namibia Construction
Urban Design: Urban Design Studio Namibia

During the thirty-two years of the practices life we have developed a firm base from which to provide efficient service. Our approach is founded on the principle that architecture is a many-faceted, creative discipline, where the process of the physical realization of an enabling built environment occurs within the broader context of human development.

On Wednesday, the House is scheduled to vote on the Conscience Protection Act of 2016 (S. 304), initially introduced by Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) 85% as H.R. 4828. This bill is a critical and timely response to a decision by California's Department of Managed Health Care which forces all health plans under their jurisdiction to cover elective abortions for any reason, including late term abortions and sex-selective abortions. The Department is even forcing plans provided by churches and other religious organizations to cover these life-ending procedures, despite their religious convictions.
This California edict, first issued in 2014, is a blatant violation of current federal law, known as the Weldon and Hyde amendments, which prohibit states receiving taxpayer funds under federal law from discriminating against health insurance plans that don't cover abortion. Even more troubling, than California's disregard of these protections, however, is the Obama Administration's refusal to enforce them.

text: Adobe Employee Tells Apple to "screw" Itself Lee Brimelow, a Platform Evangelist at Adobe recently told Apple to go "screw" itself. The Apple vs Adobe war has always been a bit one sided, with Apple dishing out insults, and Adobe maintaining a "no comment" policy. That is, until now. Apple's recent change to their SDK terms of service seems to have been the final straw. Developers are now forbidden to use any APIs that are not prescribed by Apple, effectively stopping Adobe from porting its applications to the iPhone or iPad. "Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy," says Steve Jobs, "The world is moving to HTML5." HTML5 may be the future, but Adobe Flash is the present. Buggy or otherwise, over half of the web's graphical user interfaces are based off of Adobe Flash, and until HTML5 becomes more widely used, the iPhone user will simply miss out. In fact, HTML5 is slower and more buggy than Adobe Flash right now, and it will probably be years until it becomes stable enough for wide use. YouTube - Speed Test: Flash vs HTML5 On The Nexus One The above video shows clearly that Flash the better option aright now, as it rendered the balls faster and smoother than HTML5, so what is Apple's motive for not allowing Flash on the iPhone? The most logical reason is that they don't want the competition. Apple takes a generous 40% of the revenue generated by App Store applications. Allowing Adobe Flash on the iPhone would allow users to access thousands of free games, thus decreasing demand for App Store games that cost money, putting a dent in Apple's profits. Apple rejected Opera Mini from the App Store for more or less the same reason. Adobe employees are furious at Apple, but there isn't much they can do but vent and console themselves with the fact that the iPhone needs them more than they need the iPhone. One employee, Lee Brimelow, even went as far as to write, "Speaking purely for myself, I would look to make it clear what is going through my mind at the moment. Go screw yourself Apple."

text: I'm very new so please forgive me if this is a really bonkers question. I've got my r4i ultra and i've got the games working but when I put music on there is no option to pause the track, move to the next track or anything else. I put the AKAIO 1.8.6a (thing on) and I read around and it said put moonshell on to play the music. I did that and followed the instructions copying over the moonshell folder and the moonshel-autopatch-defalt file to the root of the card but it doesn't appear to make any difference. When the console boots up I get the DORASU option - Pictochat option - DDS Download Play option and the settings icon at the bottom but no moonshell player or anything? Have I misunderstood something I've read? Very probably lol

Secondary School Vocational Teachers
Secondary school vocational teachers prepare students for occupations that need a specific set of skills. They provide students with hands-on activities with the equipment they will use in their occupation. Their objective is to prepare students to enter the workforce or to acquire more training at the postsecondary level. Vocational teachers are also known as career and technical education (CTE) teachers and career technology teachers.
High school vocational teachers offer students career guidance, assist with job placement and sometimes follow up with students after they graduate. High school vocational teachers are experts in their field. Under current Federal law career and technical education teachers need to coordinate their program offerings with four-year, community and technical colleges.
A variety of vocational subjects are available at secondary schools including technology, healthcare, agriculture science, computer networking, auto mechanics, veterinary science and communications.
High school vocational teachers typically provide courses that are in high demand by local companies. Some employers offer internships and apprentices to students attending secondary school. Many career technology teachers have a role in building and overseeing partnerships with businesses.
High school vocational teachers evaluate their students performance and knowledge on subjects. They also explore career areas with their students. Vocational teachers are employed in public and private schools. Some in the profession teach a variety of subjects and others have a specialty.
- Prepare materials for classes
- Observe and evaluate students' performance
- Maintain student records
- Assign and grade coursework
- Attend staff meetings
- Create and enforce rules for behavior and procedures
- Provide hands-on learning activities
- Teach the techniques and theories used in the field
- Demonstrate how tasks are performed and how to use tools
Job Characteristics
Secondary school vocational teachers should have good communication and organizing skills and they should enjoy helping others. Also, most of them work the standard school year.
Employment Outlook
The employment growth for secondary school vocational teachers has been projected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to be 10 percent between 2008 and 2018. The number of secondary school teacher positions depends on state and local expenditures on education as well as legislation. Vocational teachers are in demand in various subjects at secondary schools. In addition, the median annual earnings for vocational education teachers in secondary schools in 2008 was $51,580.
Some vocational school teachers begin their careers in the profession by taking teaching assistant positions in vocational programs. Usually the assistant jobs are provided to individuals that graduated from vocational programs near the top of their class.
Education, Certification, and Licensing
The education and training requirements for secondary school vocational teachers vary by state and by the subject. Usually, teachers need a bachelor's degree and work experience in their specialty.
Every state requires teachers to have a bachelor's degree and completion of an approved teacher training program as well as supervised practice teaching. Every state requires career and technical education teachers in secondary schools to be licensed. However, if they have an appropriate amount of work experience in their teaching subject many states let career and technical education teachers enter the occupation without taking a teacher preparation program and they may only need a high school diploma and not a bachelor's degree.
Some states provide a license to vocational teachers that do not have a degree if they have knowledge, skills and experience in their field. Many vocational teachers continue their own education to stay current in their field, especially those who teach technology subjects.
- Association for Career and Technical Education
- International Vocational Education and Training Association
- National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
Major Employers
The top employers are secondary schools, career and technical education secondary schools, career academies and regional career and technical education centers.
Schools for Secondary School Vocational Teachers are listed in the Browse Schools Section.

OT / SIAP- Oregon debuts new "Oregon Trail" uniformz
So OregoNike Almagomated has gone one step beyond anything else in terms of uniformz. Oregon is unveiling new "Oregon Trail" uniforms featuring Lewis, Clark, and the Oregon Duck on the helmets. Two thoughts:
1) I'm surprised inthe current social climate that Oregon consented to guns being on the helmet, especially since Lewis & Clark weren't exactly known as trailblazing rilfemen. EDIT: I guess that's a spyglass, not a rifle??
2) Whenever I see "Oregon Trail" I always go back to the #1 lesson I learned from it, reinforced from my prior job where I worked with a super smart dude of Creek heritage: ALWAYS PAY THE INDIAN.
Michigan Preseason Massey Win Pct. vs. Week 6
I know, rankings are inaccurate and so on, but I still think this is an interesting indication of how this team is outperforming expectations so far. (And that certain other teams may be underperforming)
|Pre Win%
|Wk 6 Win%
|Michigan State
|Penn State
|Ohio State
Note: Pre indicates preseason win percentage. Percentages given are the likelihood of Michigan winning.
Expected wins is now up to 8.55 from a preseason expectation of 5.6
Week 5 BTN Power Rankings
Michigan gets a bump from 5th in the previous week up to 2nd, just behind OSU.
Q&A with LB Desmond Morgan
"Michigan players and coaches will sit down with Steve Kornacki of MGoBlue.com weekly during the 2015 season to discuss U-M football. Senior linebacker Desmond Morgan spoke on Sunday (Oct. 4) about the 28-0 win at Maryland on Saturday (Oct. 3), Coach Jim Harbaugh's inspirational "glass half full or half empty" speech, and this Saturday's (Oct. 10) game against unbeaten Northwestern at Michigan Stadium. He has 259 career tackles for the Wolverines.
Q. Tell us about D.J. Durkin the linebacker coach, and what makes him such an exceptional defensive coordinator and motivator?
A. The first thing is, he's a fiery guy. You won't find a more fiery or intense coach in the nation. He brings a lot of passion to the practice field every day. He's like he is in games. And so we learn to practice how we play, and play how we practice as well. He draws up a lot of great schemes, and does a good job of explaining things in the meeting room and talking us through it on the field -- especially with the linebackers -- and getting us in the right fits. Coach Durkin, Coach (Greg) Mattison and our defensive backs coaches (Greg Jackson and Michael Zordich) have been drawing up some really good game plans.
Q. You mentioned the term 'fits.' Explain that term and how it relates to gap assignments for each player.
A. It's all about the gap controls -- especially when we get the D-line doing some movement. You've got to be tuned in to where a certain guy in front of you is headed to a certain gap. It's not just lining up in a gap and playing it. You've got to be in tune to that and know where you fit in the defense. Everybody out there is a piece of the puzzle and needs to know where they fit out there."

Where to watch M vs NU in Budapest, Hungary?
