How often have you had to get lucky to end up winning an MTT?
I'm reading a few books on tournament poker right now, and a lot of them mention that in one way or another, you have to win a few hands you outright shouldn't have.
I'm wondering, have any of you won an MTT without that happening? If not, how did that particular winning hand play out?
This really depends on the tournament structure and how many players are in it.
For example; if we was playing like a 400 man MTT with deep stacks then one can assume you don't need to get lucky much to go on and win. In faster tournaments though like say for example we are playing a 10k field BIG 11 tournament on poker stars. There are going to be times where you have to get lucky to flip for your tournament life or get it in with like AJ VS AQ and suckout. You're basically forced to go with worse hands when spots come around. There are many times where have a big stack and a short stack goes all-in with a better hand but you have the odds to call etc where you might get there and suckout. There are times you get coloured like vs big stacks for all your chips with like KK vs AA and hit a set for example..tons of spots come up that happens.
I've won numerous tournaments (deep structure ones) where I've never been all in for my tournament life and I've won tournaments where faster structure ones where I've sucked out for my tournament life numerous times.
Basically, the faster the structure the higher the variance thus more all-ins and suckouts. The deeper we play and longer each levels there are, the less likely you will see as many suckouts. Just adjust accordingly to the game type you're playing.
What are hands you shouldn't have won ? There are none....
What's meant basically is you're often gonna play hands where you start as a dog, still winning them because of hitting flop, turn or river.
I don't think anyone has ever won a tournament without playing hands , being a dog at the beginning of the hand.
Because we have to think in handranges and play effective stacks we'll pretty often play hands in which we're behind.
Regardless of the tournament and your poker skills, when it comes to winning a MTT you need luck. Always. Because we do need luck even when we are favourite pre flop ( lets say KK vs JJ shove ). If he get the Jack you are doomed in most cases. So yes, u need luck always.
Everyone needs luck pre-flop because if your hand don't come to the board then someone elses has. But then again, after the flop, winning the hand depends on how you play it. Some players who make a small pair on the flop can be run off of them with a large bet, but there are those too that won't run with even 22 and every card on the board will beat them. So yeah you better have your lucky hat on when you play MTTs
You don't have to "suck out" to win an mtt.
But the perspective on luck is varied... when you don't have to suck out to win that is insanely lucky.
Luck; rather chaos rules all... the variance we can ride to a degree.
A varying one at that; it remains unique to each individuals interpretation and actuation of the game. Better and worse after a certain level become arbitrary. Many unique interpretations while they perhaps do not carry a fuller or better understanding of the game may yield better short and long term fiscal results.
I've never had a tournament where I didn't need to get at least a little lucky to make the final table. Every MTT I have won I got lucky at least 3x, although not always in the sense of being all-in and way behind.
Sometimes just running really well with coin-flip type situations is all the luck you need but when you consider that you might be in 5 or 6 of those situations and you win them all you have to admit you had luck on your side.
Yes you need luck to win an MTT but you still need to play well...
Examples of luck when I have won MTTs are...
Running an under-pair into an over-pair and still winning:
E.g. One time I ran 66 into AA and hit quads... but please understand that it was still the right play with the amount of big blinds, and I had bad beats earlier on in the tourney.
I also hit better cards heads-up at the final table but was still patient enough to wait for them.
Another time I won a tourney, the day before it I went out of it after losing 2 coin-flips in a row and a 60/40. The next day I played again and won a 30% situation and went on to play well and win.
The reason you need to play well is because it is the only constant thing you can control in poker. You will have a long time of down-swings, so when variance does finally turn your way - enough for you to win a tourney - you still need to capitalise on it.
You can't win an MTT without an upswing in variance at some stage in my opinion... this could be an upswing in the cards you get, the opponent types you play, or the results of each hand - actually it is the reason you should be positive if you are ever card dead at the start of an MTT. As long as you hang in there somehow, a better situation will come, at a more crucial time when it is worth more chips.
re: Poker & How often have you had to get lucky to end up winning an MTT?
I'm starting to see what kind of luck it is,
Earlier today I placed 4th in an MTT, but that wouldn't have happened if my AQo hit the river flush against a player with trip kings.
And then ended up getting sucked out quite a bit when somebodies 10 8 beat my AA (he went all in preflop, cost me half my stack).
I had the lead on the tourney a good third of the time, but I'd say 30% of my stack was made up of getting lucky on a worse hand than somebody else's.
What percentage of your stack would you say is due to 'luck' when chip leader?
I noticed in the earlier stages of a tournament, that a fish would be dominating the lead with extremely lucky river cards and complete donk plays, and some of them get lucky enough to get to the money by bullying in the later rounds.
The ones that annoy me when they make it to the money are the players with VPIP's of 65-80% and i'm here thinking "How are they still here???"
IMHO there are are sorts of luck in mtt poker. Whether you are ever all in is lucky in itself insomuch as one may never have had a critical hand against a larger stack that put you all in. Add to that seat placement, receiving some good cards, making some hands that hold up and having opponents with enough to call and some good situations to steal are just a few. That said, though I've seen some luckboxes run deep I don't see how you can win on luck alone. Even if you're a card rack you still have to play well, get good value on your value hands and not spew off on bad bluffs and second bests.
It depends on the tournaments structure :
- i have won two premier league tournaments in a row at pokerstars ( more than 400 entrants in each ) without taking a big risk and playing just good hands : i had never been in the top 5 chipleaders just at the final table
- i have won 888 tournaments : 24-7 freerolls and i was really lucky.
I have noticed too that in 888 poker, i have a terrible upswings and downswings, i can get 8 winnings hands in a raw letting me being the chipleader after 10 loosings hands ( AA kk AK etc... ) so out of the tournament without getting 1 cent
You don't have to suck out but you do need to be lucky. Lets say you play 440 hands and get AA and KK 2 times each. In each case you were fortunate enough to get all in before the flop vs a smaller pair. That is 4 times you got all in with an 80-85% chance to win, AND a 15-20% chance of loosing each time. Having good luck is often just the absence of bad luck.
It means you'll win hands when you weren't a favorite to do so. KK vs AA or AK vs KK. You'll be getting it in with all of these hands and if you run into one another it's a cooler and sometimes get lucky to suck-out. Also when shortstacked, you'll be shoving much looser and once you get called, you'll often end up being at a disadvantage, so you'll be needing to luck thus if you win, it's considered winning a hand you shouldn't have.
I play a lot of live tournaments in the 100-500 person range and I'd say that to outright win these things you will need to win at least a couple of flips (a version of luck) and usually there will be 1 big suckout in there too....AQ beats QQ or you semi bluff all in with a flushdraw and gutshot and get called by a set and then bink one of your outs....those kinds of confrontations simply MUST happen to build the stacks big enough to make it to the final table.
I also play a lot of STTs where I usually just play well and don't have to get my stack in behind almost ever, and even flips are rare enough due to ICM and fold equity....
re: Poker & How often have you had to get lucky to end up winning an MTT?
First you read a book, then you play some hands and try to apply things from that book. often times your game initially suffers while you perfect these new "moves" and concepts. That's normal and OK and part of the learning process. you add in a few new things to your game at a time and spend a little while "mastering" that concept or skill.
If you are reading multiple books then you will either be adding too much change to your game all at once, or you will be forced to ignore some important things because you can't do it all at once, and sometimes different books present competing ideas which is OK unless you're trying to learn them both at the same time....then your game can get schizophrenic in a hurry.
I'd recommend: read 1 book. make a few notes or highlights on new strategies and tactics you want to try out. play some hands. post some trouble hands in the hand analysis section. play some more hands. post some more hands. Now re-read either the whole book, or the sections that your made notes on, or at least just re-read your notes. Now repeat the above process. play some hands. post some hands.
NOW you might be ready to pick up a different poker book/author and see what he can bring to your game. But don't try to do too much all at once.
to win a mtt you need all the things come to your side
in a slow mtt with a deepstack maybe you need less but still, you need the sets to be in your side not against, the projects with big pots and incomplete projects to be in the other side as well, also you need to bluff and not to be bluffed, also you should be dealt a lot of playable hands like pockets, aces, broadways suited connectors and quite often you will hit the board and get rewarded with big pots, also you need tables where you take the lead so you can steal the blinds, and so on,
now if you play a lot of tourneys there are a few you will run in that way I describe above, you will lose smaller hands but always your stack will cover your opponent`s so you are not going to be busted and at the end of the day you will be seated in the final table, and it will happen again until you reach the heads up and again until you win it all
unfortunately there is no magic recipe and it not depends totally on you (well yes, depends on your patience to wait for the right moment or the right tourney but you only will realize it when is all happened)
there are moments that you can feel it and then you get that pocket kings and you know it will happen, there are few players left, and this lag player is stealing blinds like crazy and here he comes again, you think for a moment, your kings wait, you think, 3bet? shove? you have the bad feeling, you know you want to win it and the drought, you know you need to stop this lag guy stealing blinds, you dont have too much time to decide, you take a deep breath and shoot... and yes at the end of the day a lot is reduced to luck but that is life and poker is part of it
Most of the time when I get knocked out if a tourney I have been sucked out on. Even in 45 man sng I get sucked out on a lot and constant coolers and bad beats. So in my opinion you have to be lucky to win a tournament, skill will help you get far but variance will.rear it's ugly head at some point you have to have the stack to deal with it. I have yet to play a tourney where I am the guy I'm god mode knocking people out left right and centre. I'm sure it'll come one day
re: Poker & How often have you had to get lucky to end up winning an MTT?
Sorry to get off topic (completely), but I'd rather not mess my self up on this.
Has anyone read his newest book? Modern Tournament Poker.
Harrington on Modern Tournament Poker - Kindle...
yesterday i came in 1st in the 100K satty on ACR FaceLessTimmyJR is my SN on there and i played super super tight stealing more then showdowns but as the tourny progressed i began to see more opp. that i should or could be taken. so i learned the Low ball approach it allows u to be able to see more flops if u dnt have to invest alot preflop spec with low stacks ive gotten to the point im starting to see more straights flushes and sets then ever before winning where i should is almost obsolete for me as i am learning to pick up hands and play with weird ones like J9 off Q7 or even Q3 suited from Late position in hopes of getting the odds to bet into the pot for the flush draw and i usually hit it quite often but have gotten beaten chasing when i made the mistake of packin in early with a push. i like Lag with an aggressive approach to my game make me more of a menace at the Felts lol
I finished 2nd in the 100k privilege freeroll on pokerstars a few weeks back and early on I had a few coin flips. AK vs 88 etc and I got lucky on a couple of occasions. Because I built a decent stack size I was then LESS inclined to take major risks even against short stacks.
I would play the odd J9 suited and flop two pair, flush and pick up my chips from there.
The only time I played like a moron was heads up. It lasted of all of 3 hands because I couldn't let go 99 and he raised me all in and I called and he has the nuts. I should of folded because I wasn't far behind in chips and was just a silly play. Cost me $70 as I should of won it.
But to clarify I do think in micro stakes and freerolls. Luck plays a major part.
If you are playing for serious money, smart plays and intelligent folds will go along way to succeeding in MTT's.
I have won 618 player tournament with 10min blinds, and I have not had a better pair than Tens, no better Ace than Ace 7. That tournament motivated me to not blame anything on the luck. "The skilled ones are always lucky" . Not saying that i'm super skilled, but you get what I'm saying.
I won $70,000 in a live tournament. I was down to 5 blinds. I shoved and got 4 callers. They checked it down on a rainbow Q27TT board. I had AQ, beat out JJ, 99, AK and AJ. Next hand I got KK and flopped top set, getting called by AK with top top and took it down. I coasted from there and played excellent poker but if I didn't get lucky to get a stack I would not have won.
re: Poker & How often have you had to get lucky to end up winning an MTT?
Yes you do need luck. Yet, skill will always prevail. Even if we don't win. Trust me fish get lucky and win sometimes. Yet, most of those "winners" are actually losers in long run. As poker players, we are trying to minimize luck as much as we can and use skill. Luck, really is just variance basically. Yet, if you do get lucky, make sure it was just luck, not bad play and then getting lucky to win. Many times I will see people that get lucky, e.g. last night in Nightly 500GTD at carbon, guy came in last minute with 5K before late reg ended. ran it up to like 100K and was chip leader in no time all from horrible plays and getting lucky. I was like wow this guy sucks he must be a loser. Lo and behold, I sharkscoped him when he busted my AKs v 97o. Dude was HORRIBLE. I mean like seriously his graph went down like basically straight down like -$300-$400 and I think the most positive he had was like $20-$50 I just laughed it off and went to bed.

Original Owner
Mike Gulley purchased this condo in 1979
I grew up in Indian Rocks Beach, my parents purchased this condo for thier retirement. I enjoyed sailing my Hobbie Cat when home visiting from college. Now years later, I am looking forward to my retirement on the beach. In the mean time I want to share this special place with you.
We love the small size of the complex because the owners know each other, as well as the returning visitors, which makes this a warm and welcoming community.
Condo was very clean and comfortable. All the amenities of home in the kitchen which was great since we enjoy cooking at home. It was walking distance to yummy restaurants too. The owner was very responsive if we needed anything. A big plus was that it included covered parking! Would definitely recommend to others. Can't wait to return next year.
We stayed here for the month of March 2013 and totally loved the condo. The photos do not do justice to the unit. The sunsets were breathtaking.
The condo itself and the condo grounds were clean and well maintained. The owner greeted us on time and answered any of our questions/concerns.
I highly recommend this condo, it is an excellent location on Gulf Blvd. It is within walking distance of several great restaurants, Crabby Bills, Tapas, Slyces, P J Oyster Bar. There is a 'Trolley' that runs up and down Gulf Blvd that will allow you to visit John's Pass, or Keegans, another great restaurant. We are returning next year.

More than 100 pictures of Captain Scott's attempts to reach the South Pole have been saved for the nation after a museum raised £275,000.
It was feared that the photographic negatives would be sold abroad if the money could not be found. Instead, the pictures – which represent some of Scott's earliest photographic work and depict his doomed last expedition in 1911 – have been bought by the Polar Museum at Cambridge University's Scott polar research institute, with the help of a £233,450 grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.
"Scott's negatives can now take their rightful place in Cambridge alongside the camera on which they were taken, as well as the remaining Scott and Herbert Ponting prints – all of which speak so powerfully to us of the courage and sacrifice of those on the British Antarctic Expedition," said the explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who helped raise the money.
He added: "The negatives have been recently rediscovered, having been thought lost. If the Scott Polar Research Institute had not been successful, there was every chance they would have been sold abroad and into a private collection."
The negatives were thought lost until they turned up in private ownership two years ago.
Dame Jenny Abramsky, chair of the NHMF, said: "Captain Scott's images provide us with an extraordinary insight into the rigours of his epic but ultimately doomed expedition. As precious as the corresponding original prints, these negatives record not only day-to-day life in the Antarctic, but also the development of Scott's photographic skills."

An Enemies HelpMature
Rossier strode back into SycamoreTowers an hour later with a group of daemons following him.
"Rossier?" Berith stood "what have you done?"
"They've come to help" Rossier said sounding distinctly annoyed. Sylver leapt up as a huge, hulking form came out of the tunnel the daemon glared at him. Rossier slunk to his chair as his brother pushed to the front of the crowd Sylver saw the pitch black bruise around his neck.
"You" a voice shouted Gabriel had come out of his room to see what all the noise was.
"Gabriel, stop" Sylver stepped in front of his brother as Gabriel made a beeline for Balthazar. The huge daemon raised his hands to show he meant no harm.
"I'm not here to fight you." He boomed.
"Yeah right." Gabriel snarled
"I am here to explain," the huge daemon sat down on the sofa taking up most of it, the wood creaked under his weight. Rossier sat glaring at him.
"I take it my dislike of you is not unique." Gabriel growled as he noticed Rossier's look.
"no" Balthazar agreed, "but my same dislike of you is outweighed by the dislike of your mother." Gabriel looked at him for a moment longer.
"I'm listening," he said sitting down too. Balthazar nodded his appreciation.
"I worked out early that something was wrong."
"Yeah, right" Rossier growled Berith smacked his arm.
"Shhh" she scolded.
"Carry on" Gabriel said tonelessly.
"There were rumours that the Lord of Hell is back."
"You mean Dawn?" Gabriel frowned
"No Dawn is the Lord of the Underworld." Balthazar explained. "Lou is the in charge of Hell" Gabriel looked confused for a moment.
"I know that name." he said slowly.
"Quite possibly." Balthazar said. "Lucifer or Lou, as he prefers."
"Dawn's father" Berith added Gabriel pulled a face.
"I didn't even know he had one, he never mentioned him."
"He didn't have one" Berith said.
"Now I'm confused." Sylver said.
"Lou's been dead for a long time," deacon said coming down the stairs."
"You knew?" Sylver growled Deacon nodded. "Why didn't you say?"
"It was years ago" Deacon said "and I had my orders."
"Your orders?" Gabriel asked Deacon reached for Sylver's arm but the vampyre moved away angrily.
"I was told not to even mention him." Deacon sighed sadly, "Dawn didn't want to hear his name."
"Excuse me?" Balthazar said "I was talking." Sylver shot him a glare then looked away. "Anyway," Balthazar looked at Gabriel who was unusually quiet. "I knew if I baited you you'd suggest a fight,"
"Why?" Gabriel frowned.
"It's almost impossible to kill a daemon, when we disappear we go back to where we came from, in my case Hell the teleports had been shut down it was my only option."
"You did throw the fight." Gabriel growled "I knew it wasn't right."
"It was tempting to crush you to death but Dawn would have killed me properly and that was no use to anyone."
"It was Balthazar who alerted us." Berith said "we found Lou…" she stopped.
"Found?" Gabriel said "I'm still struggling with the fact that he exists and the fact that Balthazar has a brain." The huge daemon laughed.
"We believed that Lou was dead" Berith said sadly "we buried him," Gabriel's eyes widened.
"Alive" he felt his throat tighten slightly at the thought.
"He'd half dug himself out" Rossier put in his voice serious for once. "but he passed out from exhaustion and pain he had some serious injuries."

By Andy Gardiner, USA TODAY
The Mid-American Conference has a proud history of producing professional quarterbacks, and two of the league's current top guns will play critical roles tonight when Western Michigan visits Ball State in a West Division showdown.
WMU's Tim Hiller and Ball State's Nate Davis will try to lead their teams to unfamiliar territory — the MAC title game. They follow a line of conference gunslingers that has Ben Roethlisberger, Chad Pennington, Byron Leftwich, Charlie Frye, Charlie Batch and Joshua Cribbs drawing NFL paychecks.
Hiller has rebounded from a so-so sophomore season to produce 309 yards a game passing with 33 touchdowns while ranking second in the league in passing efficiency. The only man ahead of him is Davis, who averages 273 passing yards with 24 TDs.
MIKE LOPRESTI COLUMN: Hard for Ball State not to be happy with 11-0
"This is really a quarterback-driven league," said WMU coach Bill Cubit. "If you don't have one, you don't win and that's how it has played out."
Hiller started all 12 games in an erratic 2007 season, offsetting 20 touchdown passes with 15 interceptions and an efficiency mark of 132.25. He's cut his interceptions to six this year while raising his efficiency mark to 153.12.
"It was his first year of really having to execute the whole offense, and he had his ups and downs," Cubit said of the 2007 version of Hiller. "But Tim is a really intelligent kid, he had a very good spring and we had a lot of confidence he would have a much better year."
Western Michigan lost by 23 points in its opener at Nebraska and fell last month to Central Michigan 38-28. But the Broncos also pinned a 23-17 loss on Illinois in a game at Ford Field in Detroit, also site of the MAC championship game.
WMU has reached the title game only twice since its inception in 1997, the last time in 2000.
"We wanted to be in a position this year where we could make some headway in the MAC West, and we've done that," Cubit said. "But getting past Ball State will be an uphill battle."
The Cardinals have never reached the championship but this has been their dream season, with an unprecedented 11-0 record and the highest national ranking in school history — 15th in the USA TODAY Coaches' Poll as well as the Bowl Championship Series standings.
"Our goal has been to win the championship, and we talk about our expectations back in January," said Ball State coach Brady Hoke. "But we play for our seniors. The seniors, in turn, have to play their best football now."
Davis is a junior, but with the help of running back MiQuale Lewis (1,490 yards) has made Ball State the MAC's leader in total offense and scoring.
"He makes plays with his arm and his legs," said Central Michigan coach Butch Jones, whose team lost to the Cardinals last week 31-24. "He can make all the throws and has the arm strength and accuracy to beat tight coverage. What he's improved this season is his escapability."
Western Michigan and Ball State have split their last 10 meetings, a stretch that includes Ball State's 60-57 win in five overtimes in 2005. Cubit expects more of the same tonight.
"We're pretty similar in a lot of ways offensively and all the games seem to go down to the wire," he said. "It's just good football when we play each other."

A later residual whiff of panjuices, rosemary & sage. Ripe, yet not overripe. Oak? Yes, and very stylish!Textbook structure: tannin, acidity, balance.
Upfront, Cabernet & Shiraz fruits intertwine for collective attention, a sweet middle meshed with tea-leaf/olive tapenade flavours. Rounded, ripe and lush tannins and... View More
Critical Acclaim
Great colour, and as befits the vintage, is an intense and complex wine of great breed; it has many layers of blackberry, blackcurrant, licorice, earth and chocolate, the powerful tannins in balance, the oak likewise.
The 2006 Bin 389 Cabernet (52%)-Shiraz (48%) was primarily sourced from Barossa Valley and Langhorne Creek. The wine was aged for 12 months in 22% new American oak hogsheads. Opaque purple-colored, it delivers aromas of mulberry, blackberry, cedar, and Asian spices. On the palate, spicy, ripe black fruits and a hint of tapenade make an appearance. Nicely balanced with several years of aging potential, it can be enjoyed from 2011 to 2021.
Deep violet with a bright rim. Cherry-vanilla, blackberry and cola on the nose, with complicating notes of mint, vanilla and dried flowers. Sweet dark berry flavors pick up a tangy edge with air, along with vanilla and candied floral qualities. Finishes on a sweet dark berry note, with dusty tannins adding grip and refreshing bitterness.

Whole Kids Adventure (WKA), is a TX domestic non-profit corporation, organized to provide a unique child development model that will focus on establishing healthy eating habits and increasing physical activity levels in preschool age children and their families in order to prevent the development of obesity and related health problems. Our goal is simple - to fight childhood obesity!
Whole Kids Adventure
We need a logo for our website, brochures, cards, etc... Because we will be bringing out a variety of goods (magazine, cook books), the logo should be somewhat flexible, but don't go overboard on color and visual... keep it simple!
Organic colors (such as brown/green) as you see on our website (http://www.WholeKidsAdventure.com) - however, keep in mind that the site will get a new make-over, so we are not hooked on the exact colors you see... Logo should feel 'organic', 'natural', and remind of child exercise and nutrition... please include the line "...we raise organic children."
no bold colors, keep it simple.

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."
"The name is very attention getting with the recent death of Prince. The link to the crochet pattern takes me to a different posting on this site where the project is included within a free ebook with 16 other easy crafts. There you can download the entire ebook as a pdf in order to get the pattern."

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

This felt donut pin cushion is a great idea for someone who sews and loves donuts. This is so different from all other pin cushions. Such a simple and easy tutorial to follow and a great last minute gift.I can even see these being sewn for girls to play cooking with. How would not want to play house and serve one on a plate. So if your donut pin cushion is missing you may want to check bedrooms. That is where mine would be.

An invention: liquid Mobile calcium 10%+boron 2%
An invention: liquid Mobile calcium 10%+boron 2% the only mobile calcium fertilizer with the highest boron concentration.
Dr. Behzad khosropanah, Research Scientist in Agriculture Industry & fertilizer formulation consultant, Canada.
Calcium and boron are immobile in the plant,this is the first mobile fertilizer has ever been made in agriculture industry with highest combination of Boron with Calcium in the industry. Every plant needs calcium to grow. Once fixed, calcium is not mobile in the plant. It is an important constituent of cell walls and can only be supplied in xylem sap. Thus, if the plant runs out of a supply of calcium, it can not remobilize calcium from older tissues. If transpiration is reduced for any reason, the calcium supply to growing tissues will rapidly become inadequate. Thus this product as it is mobile in the phloem can remobolize from older tissues to younger one, Boron is used with calcium in cell wall synthesis and is essential for cell division (creating new plant cells). Boron requirements are much higher for reproductive growth so it helps with pollination, and fruit and seed development. Boron has a long list of postulated roles: (a) sugar transport (b) cell wall synthesis (c) lignification (d) building cell-wall structure (e) carbohydrate metabolism (f) RNA metabolism (g) respiration (h) indole acetic acid (IAA) metabolism (j) building membranes. if you have a nutritional situation in which the crop does not have sufficient levels of boron in the tissue, calcium applications will not be nearly as effective as they could be if there was sufficient boron present.

Colorado WraithsMature
Darron Daniel Drear aimed his D.Eagle at the figure before him. Deep breaths traveled through his lungs at a steady pace. His eyes never blinked as he calculated the shot. Only one bullet remained in the clip. He had to make it count.
A slight wind moved across Darren's body. 1... 2.....3!
A powerful force pushed the massive gun back toward Darren as the bullet tore through the air and into the distant figure. The figure fell, nearly torn in two. Success! Darron you ARE the man!
Darron ran out of his hiding spot and onto the next figure in the distance. This one was moving in circles, causing Darron to hide. Reloading his clip, he aimed at the moving figure. Darren breathed deeply once more. It was meant to relax and focus him, but it simply excited him. Another shot rang through the air, ripping a large hole into the moving figure.
Darron didn't waste time, however, and didn't see the figure fall. What was the point? Running, he pulled a throwing knife from the sack tied to his leg. Knives weren't his favorite, but they were useful.
Another figure popped out of a bush. As quick as a viper, Darron threw his knife into it's head and ran past. He did this three more times before he came into a clearing filled with black garbed men.
Darron dropped his last knife, preparing to fight the men. He was the best, and he would win against a thousand. These ten or so men didn't scare Darren the Baron.
Before he could charge, however, another shorter man in a nice suit ran out to meet Darron.
"What the hell do you want, Koreg?" Darron sneered at the short agent. Gary pushed his hair out his face. It was too long, in Darren's opinion, and was unfit for an operative of the B.G.C.
"You have a new assignment!" He said angrily. "Why are you always such a dick?"
Darron ignored the smaller man and took the report. It took him a second reread to realize what he was actually suppose to do. Apparently he was being sent to track down some kid named Sawyer King and his little sisters, who were suspects for a mass murder. Odd.
"Guess I got another crap job..." Darron walked to the nearby barracks. He guessed the obstacle course would have to wait.

CORRECTED-UPDATE 2-Iraqi Kurdistan-focused oil shares hit by IS advance
(Corrects units to barrels per day in paragraph 8)
* Islamic State advance raises fears for Kurdistan oilfields
* DNO Petroleum shares down as much as 24 percent
* Gulf Keystone Petroleum down as much as 13 percent
By David Sheppard
LONDON, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Shares in energy companies operating in Iraqi Kurdistan plummeted on Thursday after Islamic State militants advanced closer to oilfields in the semi-autonomous region.
Oil producers, including Oslo-listed DNO Petroleum and London-listed Gulf Keystone Petroleum saw double-digit declines in their share prices as the radical Sunni militants seized at least three more towns near Kurdish-controlled territory.
While the firms said their Kurdish fields continued to operate, there are growing concerns about the security risks faced by firms active in Iraqi Kurdistan, seen as a beacon of relative stability in the region.
Shares in Oslo-listed oil producer DNO fell up to 24 percent and London-listed Gulf Keystone Petroleum was down 13 percent at their lowest point on Thursday, before paring losses. Continued...

Doors open on flydubai's new training centre in Dubai Airport Freezone
Airline has only certified 737 training facility in the UAE
Dubai, UAE, 01 March 2012 – flydubai, Dubai's innovative low cost airline, officially opened its new state-of-the-art training centre today, making it the only certified Boeing 737 facility in the UAE.
flydubai's CEO, Ghaith Al Ghaith, is pictured with the low cost carrier's latest cabin crew graduates
flydubai's CEO, Ghaith Al Ghaith, was joined by the Director General of Dubai Airport Freezone (DAFZ), Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni, to cut the ribbon on the new centre, which has been approved by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).
The centre, located at DAFZ, not only allows flydubai to train its own cabin and flight deck crews, but to also conduct third party training to other airlines, including Global Jet, around the region.
Al Ghaith said: "Today is a very exciting day for flydubai. I am very proud of the efforts the team has made to create a training centre of this calibre. We have now had 30 batches of cabin crew graduate from our internal programme and I look forward to seeing more complete this world-leading training as well as welcoming other airlines to take advantage of the excellent training facilities we have here."
The facility, which was built at a cost of more than AED 2 million, includes a fire and smoke training simulator plus four large classrooms and a dedicated computer-based training room. It is an expansion of the original training centre, which was opened in August 2010, and houses a 737 door trainer, emergency training slide, pilot training seat as well as four traditional classrooms.
Al Zarooni said: "Today's opening not only highlights the excellent facility flydubai has built here at the Freezone, but also shows the flexibility of our facilities to cater for diverse business activities. I wish flydubai every success for its training centre and look forward to welcoming more crews to Dubai to train here."
flydubai trains all its cabin crew in-house, from entry level to supervisors. All cabin crew undergo a thorough five-week course prior to their first flight, which includes cabin service, first aid and safety and security training. The airline also conducts recurrent training for both cabin and flight deck crews.
The airline has a simple model where customers only pay for services they want to receive. Fares are inclusive of all taxes plus one piece of hand luggage weighing up to 7kg and one small laptop bag or hand bag. Checked baggage starts at AED50 for 20kgs. A seat with extra legroom costs AED100.
flydubai operates from the modernised Terminal 2 building on the north side of Dubai International Airport.
About flydubai:
Established in March 2008, flydubai is Dubai's first low-cost airline and the fastest growing start-up airline in the world. Since commencing operations in June 2009, the airline has established an operational route network of more than 45 destinations across GCC, Middle East, North Africa, Indian Sub-Continent, Asia and the fringes of Europe and has built up a fleet of 22 aircraft. Owned by the government of Dubai, the low-cost carrier supports the city's commercial and tourism sectors by serving all travellers and providing them with affordable air links to a range of destinations. The airline is dedicated to quality service and comfortable travel, lowering costs by optimising operational efficiencies and offering the passenger more choice.

Company culture is something we think about constantly at Foundant and we spent a lot of time on this subject during our recently completed mid-year meetings. Coming from a rural, farm and ranch background, it's taken me awhile to accept the fact that the solution to every problem is not always just to work harder. I now see that things like personal balance and team chemistry are actually critical components of productivity and sustainable company success.
Our team accomplished tremendous results in the first half of 2013. We hosted 11 user group meetings across the country, added 59 new clients, helped 56 existing clients "go live" and completed the majority of our Product Push that introduced as many enhancements in three months as we usually release in 7 or 8 months, to name just a few of our many accomplishments. We had important planning work to do during our mid-year meetings but we also had some important celebrating to do as well!
On the business front, our friend Joe Esparza from Leadership Outfitters led a great session designed at helping us eliminate barriers to creativity and encourage a work environment where new ideas and risk taking are encouraged. We're very proud of all we've accomplished but we realize we need new ideas and want everyone on our team thinking about how we can do more to better serve our clients. We also spent time reviewing all the goals we set during our annual planning session in January to make sure we still have the right priorities and have teams and plans in place for executing against those goals. It was great to see the progress we've made on our goals and the team came up with great ideas to move these goals further over the rest of the year.
We were conscious to allocate only about half of each day to the serious stuff so we had plenty of time to play during our retreat. My wife Shelby recently completed a major career transition and she's now a certified yoga instructor so we all enjoyed having her lead us through sessions on occupational yoga (for those of us that spend too much time sitting behind a desk and/or on an airplane) and meditation. We also played a round of golf in a scramble format so everyone could participate regardless of experience. We finished our event with a float down the Jefferson River where everyone was able to enjoy a beautiful Montana afternoon in a tube, raft or kayak. We've shared a few of the family-friendly photos from our various activities.
We're now back to our regular work flow but I think we set an exciting direction for the next several months. I look forward to reporting on even more accomplishments from our team as the year progresses.
– Daren Nordhagen, Foundant President

Bruins recall Alexander Khokhlachev, Craig Cunningham, Justin Florek and Matt Lindblad
|04.13.14 at 12:55 pm ET
The Bruins recalled four forwards from Providence on an emergency basis Sunday morning. Alexander Khokhlachev, Craig Cunningham, Justin Florek and Matt Lindblad will all join the team in New Jersey and be available for the team's regular-season finale against the Devils.
Khokhlachev is the only one of the four who has yet to play an NHL game, and as such, the 2011 second-round pick will in all likelihood make his NHL debut. He has 21 goals and 36 assists for a team-leading 57 points in 63 games for Providence this season.
Florek played very well for the Bruins in a three-game stint with the team in January, scoring a goal and adding an assist for two points while subbing on the team's fourth line. Cunningham and Lindblad each played one game apiece.
The forwards will be used both due to injuries (Daniel Paille and Patrice Bergeron both left Saturday's game, while Chris Kelly has missed the last two and won't play Sunday) and perhaps for the sake of rest of other players. According to the Boston Globe, Bergeron, Paille, Kelly, Zdeno Chara, David Krejci, Milan Lucic and Jarome Iginla did not travel to New Jersey.

Hell's Blade
Another cheery addition to my works on protagonize, not I'm not this gloomy in real life. This poem is about a powerful sword crafted by Satan's son in revenge against man for killing his intended. Please excuse the half attempt with medieval vernacular, I was trying to give the poem a sort of feel. I knew the words and they rhymed so in they went.
Leave it in Hell, leave it to rot
Leave it to which it was begot
For it's hell's kind, Hell's own
Forged in blood and made of bone
Ten thousand men have felt it's bite
Ten thousand more will feel it's might
For it's the Bonecrusher, the Bloodbringer
The Fleshbiter, the Ribstinger
Brutes have taken this sword in hand
And Brutes have burnt and pillaged the land
Mad men wield the blade
Wield the blade till the debt is paid
To fill Night's princeling's vengeful vow
Twenty thousand souls will take a bow
To right wrongs done to demonspawn
For his lover, the prince still does mourn
In grief and anger he wrought that blade
And grief and anger that blade has made
For pain begets pain and man will learn
How truly bright his heart did burn
He gave men the sword, for no creature
Could make his revenge sweeter
Than man can, than man would
And on his promise he made good
For the blade caused war and strife
It's spilt blood and taken life
More than any other weapon known
It has made whole kingdoms groan!
Fear it, fear it well
Else feel the special heat of hell
Flee it, flee it fast
Else your next breath may be your last

Day 32: Framing Frames (Part 1)
Framing Frames is a multi-day job, insofar as you have multiple consecutive missions and the actions in one have an impact on what happens in the next. In Framing Frames, we're supposed to steal paintings from an art gallery, install cameras in them, sell them off to a dodgy politician via a fixer, and then use those cameras to frame him and steal all the gold in his vault. For the first part, we needed to break into the art gallery and steal at least four of these paintings – so at least two trips to the escape van, each.
We took our time. We scouted around, checking for all entrances on the ground level and then looking through the skylights to spot the guard patrols. We noted the location of the cameras, and we decided we'd take different paths in; I'd take the side entrance that led through a bathroom into one of the gallery wings, and he would keep an eye on things from above and either sneak in through the roof, or go past the lone guard at the front entrance.
Then he said "Should I take out the cameras?" I responded in the negative. "No, because the camera operator will know it's broken and call the cops, or one of the guards will spot the broken camera and call the cops. We can disable them temporarily with a jammer, but you should probably just try to avoid them."
A pause.
"Well, I just shot one."
Day 32: Framing Frames (Part 1.5)
We got out of the art gallery alive and mostly intact, after SWAT teams actually blasted down the walls to get to us. Unfortunately, this led to an unforeseen complication: the SWAT teams followed us, shot out the car tyres, and we had to hold them off in a park while Bain arranged a new escape vehicle. It's worth noting that this wouldn't have happened if we got out faster, or simply did it stealthily.
Remind me never to take Adam with me on a job after this.
Day 34: Framing Frames (Part 3)
So, after our hand-off of the paintings didn't exactly go… positively… we finally found ourselves on top of the corrupt politician's penthouse apartment. We had a computer to access the cameras installed in the paintings, and some idea of… oh, look: this one went horribly tits up too. In fact, it went horribly tits up repeatedly. About 15 times. And then Peter Parrish joined us and it went horribly tits up again. Within about 12 seconds of walking into the apartment at least one of us would be spotted and the plan would suddenly changed to breaking into his computer and leaking information about his arms deals to the media.
Unfortunately, this politician apparently has a country's worth of SWAT members living in his apartment, because within 10 seconds of the alarm being raised those complete bastards started breaking through the windows and rappelling down from the skylights and shutting off the power, forcing us to go and restart it.
We gave up. Sorry, Mr. Other Politican, but this particular politician is remaining unframed for now.
Day 60: Framing Frames (Part 3)
I did it. I bloody did it. It took me about 30 attempts and oh-so-many hours, but I did it.
My Crosskill has a silencer. I've levelled up the Ghost tree enough that I can move bodies. I'm harder to detect. I've got the hang of how stealth works. I broke into the politician's apartment, stealthed my way through the level avoiding all guards and cameras – very occasionally knocking one out and stashing his body on the roof – and found all the electronic gadgets I had to find. I took them to our laptop on the roof, and then retrieved the eight huge sacks of cocaine that we had to stash in his vault to complete the frame.
Eight trips from the roof down to the vault, and back. Only bots as allies, so they were of no use. Eight trips, avoiding all guards and cameras each time, or the mission would suddenly switch over to hacking the computer and I'd be crushed to death by sheer weight of police officers again.
At this point, the mission was complete and I could leave, but considering his vault was said to contain a huge amount of gold, there was no way I was leaving without a little bonus cash – particularly because I'm pretty damn sure that when CrimeNet says they're "putting the money in my offshore account" they really mean "going on holiday with my money." So I found the computer that opens the vault door, and… oh, fuck off.
Lasers wired to alarms block the vault door. One person has to trigger the computer to disable them for a few seconds while another sneaks in and steals some gold, and then the computer operator disables the lasers again. You can't do it with bots. You need two people.
30 attempts. 30 attempts. I actually feel dead inside.
Payday 2 expands on everything that the first game promised and only delivered in a slightly shonky way, and Payday 2 does it well. The shooting has real feeling to it and is actually enjoyable. Missions are varied in terms of your goals, the way prior mission success impacts the multi-day missions, and the sheer randomisation of key elements – the vault won't be in the same place each time. The keycard won't be in the same place. Guards and cameras will be set up differently. Etc. A lot of the missions boil down to "defend this location until the computer is hacked/the drill gets through the lock, and then cart X number of items to the escape point" but there are plenty of others, and there's usually enough variety in mission setup that they don't feel particularly samey.
Payday 2 is a game about trying to commit the perfect heist, and then – most likely – watching it all go horribly wrong, and trying to salvage it while fending off improbable numbers of policemen. The customisation system still needs a bit of work in terms of the sheer money required to actually buy new items, but as you progress down the trees you start getting access to some truly game-changing abilities. I've complained about it regularly throughout the "diary", but that tended to be for humour or mild, moment-to-moment frustration; I wouldn't have played it nearly as much as I did if I wasn't enjoying it as much as I did.
It's a little buggy and a little rough in places, and the bots are sufficiently rubbish that I can't really recommend it if you're a solo player, but if you can assemble a small crew of your own or aren't intimidated by playing with randoms on the internet, you'll have a blast. This is pretty much what the first game should've been: a tight, enjoyable shooter with a unique setting and some optional stealth.

Medals and Mettles: Ivan, Alive and Helping
"What trouble have you gotten yourself in this time?"
I told Karina playfully. I soon realized how pale she was and went into immediate action trying to get her to the safety of my RV. I notice the wound on her hand. To me it seemed to be nothing more than a cut, probably from her radical behavior and need for jumping walls. I wonder humorously to myself which wall she jumped this time. I start thinking that probably some new conscious guards will be needed at one of the walls.
Carrying her to the RV he noticed some scars on her arms that look to be bite marks and a larger wound on her shoulder. He started to worry for her safety and hoped it wasn't what he already knew to be true. She was bitten by the infected. Ivan had to act quickly in order to save her life. He thought frantically to find a way to save her life as he placed her on the table in the RV.
"Maybe I'm not too late," I said to myself as I looked for some tools. "Maybe I can amputate the arm and stop the infection from spreading. She will severely cross with me but at least it will save her life." I grab my carving tool to amputate the arm. As I come close to drawing blood I notice some other scars near her neck. I quickly examine them to be more bite marks. "Wait, this cannot be right. These bite marks are several weeks old. How is this possible?"
Ivan shakes the feeling off and simply suspects them to be from an animal or something. There is no known immunity to the virus. The odds of Karina to be the carrier for the immune genes are simply too low. He gets ready to amputate the arm when Karina wakes up and stops him.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" she yells to me in a stern tone with worried look on her face.
Ivan scowled cursing himself for not putting her under anesthesia first. Then it dawns on him. "Karina what gave you these bites on your arm and shoulder?"
Karina was starting to faint slightly when she laughed. "This feels like the first time we met, remember?" My mind swirls into memories back to that day when she was on my operating table for the first time.
"Why does a doctor have a collection of swords hanging in his RV?"
Ivan Smiled, "well how does a girl end up with so many bullet wounds in her?"
She looked at me crossly, I just laughed. "Ok, ok I'll answer first. When I was about your age I was able to skip a few grades and made it to college earlier in life. Since I was so fascinated with swords as a young boy I joined the college's fencing team and have been collecting them ever since. These are just a few of my favorite swords in my collection I have many, many more at home." I looked over the swords fondly remembering when I first got them. I shake the thought away turning my attention back to her. "Ok now it's your turn, what kind of trouble did you get into to get a bunch of bullets in you?"
I come back to reality reminding myself that she was still bleeding out on the table. I look her over to see she has fainted again. I decide to take a chance and pray that she may be immune.
I go to work preparing the necessary antibiotics to fight fever, tetanus and any other infection that may slow her recovery. I notice that her hand is nothing too much to worry about but the wound in her shoulder seems to be infected and bleeding out. I need to stitch up what I can but I need to first remove any and all possible foreign objects. Going hard at work removing what looks to be teeth from her shoulder I notice the bleeder. It's an artery in her shoulder that has been severed. I grab for some stitching and a magnifying glass to get proper accuracy. After using most of the stitching I have to cauterize the wound for further prevention of possibly more bleeding. After the Artery is full fixed up I start to close up her shoulder. I look back to her hand and notice that it could use some stitching as well.
"Finally I got her stabilized but she is not out of the woods yet, she needs to recover." I leave her on the table and wait. Every so often I go to the back room to see if she is OK and change her bandages. She seems to be sleeping now.

In The Dirt
Bury me in this lake of sorrow,
Regrets dig me up tomorrow
And I'm not afraid to die,
And I'm not afraid to lie.
Shame and disgrace, they sew my eyes
Closed, now nobody cries.
Disposed of to the cold earth,
Bleeding out the guilt and hurt.
I will wash away the filth, as death cleanses my disgrace,
Now the dirt won't scar my face;
I want to fall away from all of this,
The earth seals up one final kiss.

Peripheral Component Interconnect Modem (PCI Modem)
Definition - What does Peripheral Component Interconnect Modem (PCI Modem) mean?
Peripheral component interconnect modem (PCI modem) is any modem that connects to the motherboard of a computer through a peripheral component interconnect bus and is controlled by a device driver.
PCI modems are also called internal modems.
Techopedia explains Peripheral Component Interconnect Modem (PCI Modem)
A PCI modems come in two types:
- Traditional dial-up modems
- Win modems (also called soft modems)
In the 1990s, PCI local bus architecture began replacing industry standard architecture (ISA). Many computers were designed to accommodate both the technologies.
The PCI modems were followed by PCI express (PCI-E) expansion cards that incorporated the modems. The PCI-E cards offer a faster hardware interface than PCI modems.
