Re: Official - Last of us on PS4!
I might pick this up, eventually.
I was never interested in re-buying the PS4 Tomb Raider, though..but I've never legit played this game on PS3, so we'll see.
Looks good, however.

@Aureilia - I agree the Story in GTA IV was well written & in some ways that was a problem it became too serious & lost a bit of the charm of the previos game. While Niko was a overall well rounded character he at times bored me & is probably the most unmemorable lead character because of thos goals he had which made him seem a bit too average??
The DLC's for GTA preferably Ballad of Tony Gay now that was great & that's how GTA 4 should have been from the beginning.
As for GTA I also agree the story was a bit disappointing partially because a lot of resourse went into having 3 characters & trying to mesh everything together so I forgive them since they atleast tried to innovate with how they told the story. But GTA V to me felt like it was made for Next gen & think it needs to be redone graphically so it can really shine, plus the frame rate, pop ins, jaggies would all be gone & improved & we all know GTA Online would certainly benefit those load times & terrible draw in distance / texture pop ups tho
The problem lies there, different wants for games.
I didn't like the DLC.
The characters in GTA V are mostly bad I'd have to say. I don't like how Trevor is crazy for the sake of shock value, I don't like Franklin at all because well. His goal is money?
Michael is a good character though. I'll give them that. He has a family he cares about, he loses them and has to try to sort himself out a little to regain them.
The line there is I tend to levitate to more realistic relatable characters.
I really do like everything about Liberty City though. That really helps. It's got slums, it's got bright lights, it's got a little bit of everything.
I played Saints Row 2 a lot back in the day, that's the fine line between crazy and serious that GTA should have taken as it tends to appeal to both audiences. I don't mind SR3 or 4 though. They are awesome. Because they don't do what GTA V did. GTA V has serious gameplay and didn't build the game around it's characters while SR is built around them.
GTA with it's gameplay has to be like GTA 4. As far as I'm concerned you either be a crazy game or you be serious. mixing both totally loses my interest. SR 2 mixed them both in story and gameplay so it was clearly intended to be a mix of serious and crazy. GTA 5 gets lost for me because when I'm traveling I'm playing a serious game, as soon as dialog starts I'm playing a crazy game. I just don't understand the transition.

Behind the scenes look/interview of The Last of Us Remastered Edition for PS4, the ending of the video mentions that the Majority ["lion share"] of the studio of Naughty Dog are doing Uncharted 4. So only a small team is doing the TLoU port.

Re: Official - Last of us on PS4!
Pretty happy as there's not a lot of good multiplayer games on ps4 right now. Loved this multiplayer though, I wonder if it will be any different.

Same here. If it's not a $10 upgrade, I'll probably just wait for a price drop. I paid so much for the version on PS3. I hope us PS3 gamers get something as a "reward" for playing the PS3 version first...... that would be nice
Re: Official - Last of us on PS4!
That trailer makes the game look like an innocent post-apocalyptic game where the world is taking over by giraffes. I'd love to see the reaction of anybody left unawares who buys it based on that...hahaha
I'm not really a fan of TLOU (I find it slow, monotonous and [b]TOO[/b] realistic) but I hope it sells tons and moves PS4s.

Quantic Dream's Facebook page has already confirmed that Beyond will be available on PS Now, but I haven't heard anything regarding Heavy Rain. Given how popular it was, I imagine it will be.

No. 11/637,509, filed Dec. 11, 2006 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,333,699, entitled "Ultra-High Density Electrical Connector," which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/749,777, filed Dec. 12, 2005, entitled "Ultra-High Density Electrical Connector" and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/749,873, filed Dec. 12, 2005, entitled "Multi-Element Probe Array," each of which is incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.
Electronic systems are ubiquitous today, and electronic systems often require a variety of electrical connectors. Many different types of electrical interconnection are used, for example, cable to cable, cable to circuit board, circuit board to circuit board, integrated circuit package to circuit board, semiconductor die to integrated circuit package. Techniques for creating electrical interconnections vary depending on the situation, and include pin and socket connectors, card edge connectors, splices, elastomeric connectors, etc. Some connections are permanent and others temporary, allowing plugging together and unplugging a mating pair of connectors.
Across many different electrical interconnection techniques, a common desire to achieve high density interconnection appears. With the prevalence of miniaturized electronics, such as cell phone, personal digital assistants, and the like, the need for high density interconnection is great.
Referring to connector mating pairs in more detail, various formats of connectors are known which can be plugged together and unplugged. For example, a well-known 9-pin miniature circular connector is used for interconnection between a personal computer and peripherals such as a keyboard or mouse. Many common connectors are constructed from a plastic or rubber housing into which stamped metal contacts are placed. Pins are provided on one connector, and sockets on the mating connector, such that the pins plug or slide into the sockets when the connectors are mated. Connector contacts can be arranged in rows or circular patterns and are held within the housing using various techniques. Some higher quality connectors use machined contacts and ceramic bodies to provide increased precision.
The state of the art in mateable connectors is demonstrated by so-called "nano-miniature" connectors which provide contact spacing of about 0.025 inch. Such spacing can theoretically provide interconnect density of up to 1600 connections per square inch, although typical connectors provide only one or two rows of contacts and under 100 contacts total. More common are so-called "micro-miniature" connectors with contact spacing of about 0.05 inch to 0.1 inch, providing theoretical interconnect density of a few hundred connections per square inch. In practice, however, housings included in such connectors result in actual connection density considerably below these theoretical values. Although common 32 AWG wires are about 0.008 inch (about 200 micrometer) in diameter (excluding insulation), the connector technology is relatively large compared to the wires. Even smaller wires are available. Connection of wires to these connectors is typically performed by crimping, clamping, insulation displacement blades, or soldering. Placing connectors onto a wire bundle can be a tedious and expensive manufacturing processing.
In some applications, there is also a need to include other types of connections, such as fluid or optical connections in additional to electrical connections. Few techniques for making both electrical and other types of connections simultaneously are known.
The present invention includes ultra-high density connectors which help to overcome problems and deficiencies inherent in the prior art.
In accordance with the invention as embodied and broadly described herein, an ultra-high density connector can be used for a variety of applications. An ultra-high density electrical connector includes a bundle of substantially parallel elongate cylindrical elements. Each of the cylindrical elements is substantially in contact with at least one adjacent cylindrical element. The ends of the elongate cylindrical elements are disposed differentially with respect to each other to define a three-dimensional interdigitating mating surface. Electrical contacts are disposed on one or more of the elongate cylindrical elements in a position to tangentially engage a corresponding electrical contact of a mating connector.
The present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Understanding that these drawings merely depict exemplary embodiments of the present invention they are, therefore, not to be considered limiting of its scope. It will be readily appreciated that the components of the present invention, as generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Nonetheless, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
The following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the invention makes reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof and in which are shown, by way of illustration, exemplary embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. While these exemplary embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, it should be understood that other embodiments may be realized and that various changes to the invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, the following more detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, as claimed, but is presented for purposes of illustration only and not limitation to describe the features and characteristics of the present invention and to sufficiently enable one skilled in the art to practice the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention is to be defined solely by the appended claims.
The following detailed description and exemplary embodiments of the invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the elements and features of the invention are designated by numerals throughout.
In describing the present invention, the following terminology will be used.
The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to a microfilament includes reference to one or more microfilament.
As used herein, the term "about" means quantities, dimensions, sizes, formulations, parameters, shapes and other characteristics need not be exact, but may be approximated and/or larger or smaller, as desired, reflecting acceptable tolerances, conversion factors, rounding off, measurement error and the like and other factors known to those of skill in the art.
Numerical data may be expressed or presented herein in a range format. It is to be understood that such a range format is used merely for convenience and brevity and thus should be interpreted flexibly to include not only the numerical values explicitly recited as the limits of the range, but also to include all the individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly recited. As an illustration, a numerical range of "about 1 to 5" should be interpreted to include not only the explicitly recited values of about 1 to 5, but also include individual values and sub-ranges within the indicated range. Thus, included in this numerical range are individual values such as 2, 3, and 4 and sub-ranges such as 1-3, 2-4, and 3-5, etc. This same principle applies to ranges reciting only one numerical value and should apply regardless of the breadth of the range or the characteristics being described.
As used herein, a plurality of items may be presented in a common list for convenience. However, these lists should be construed as though each member of the list is individually identified as a separate and unique member. Thus, no individual member of such list should be construed as a de facto equivalent of any other member of the same list solely based on their presentation in a common group without indications to the contrary.
In general, the present invention is directed towards an ultra-high density connector system. The connector can be constructing using a bundle of substantially parallel microfilaments, where individual microfilaments can serve a variety of functions, including for example contacts, spacers, key elements, supporting structure, protective elements, etc.
With reference to
As can be seen, each cylindrical element is touching at least one adjacent cylindrical element. For example, the bundle can be a one-dimensional linear arrangement of elongate cylindrical elements as shown in
Referring to
The elongate cylindrical elements 12 of the ultra-high density electrical connector 10 can be held together in a variety of ways. For example, the elongate cylindrical elements can be bonded together by a bonding material (not shown) disposed on the outer surface of the elongate cylindrical element. By bonding the elongate cylindrical elements together, the electrical connector can be constructed without a housing. This can help to reduce the overall size of the electrical connector. As another example, the elongate cylindrical elements can be held together by inserting the bundle into a ferule or housing structure (not shown). As yet another example, outermost elongate cylindrical elements can serve as a sheath for the connector.
The elongate cylindrical elements of an ultra-high density electrical connector can be arranged in various ways. For example, as illustrated in
It will be appreciated that the elongate cylindrical elements can have a variety of different cross-sections, including for example round, oval, triangular, square, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, and in general polygonal cross-section. It is not essential that the elongate cylindrical elements have a constant cross-section; the cross-section can be variable. For example, a particular geometry can be micro-machined onto the elongate cylindrical elements before assembly of the ultra-high density electrical connector. The elongate cylindrical elements can also have a bore, making them in a tubular configuration. Additionally, the elongate cylindrical elements can have cross sectional shapes that are similar to or different from each other.
Various types of elongate cylindrical elements can be used in embodiments of the present invention. For example, the elongate cylindrical elements can be a filamentary structure such as a microwire, insulated microwire, glass fiber, silicon fiber, and the like. A mixture of different types of filamentary structures can be used, including for example filamentary structures of different cross-section geometry, different composition, or both. For example, various ways are known to draw a glass fiber having a desired cross section. Some of the elongate cylindrical elements can be high strength materials, such as an aramid fiber, to help provide strength to the bundle.
As a more specific example, with reference to
Note that microwires can be used for both the ultra-high density connector and the wire bundle to be interconnected. In other words, the connector can be an integral part of an interconnecting cable, by using the wires within the cable as some of the elongate cylindrical elements of the connector. This provides a benefit in reducing the need to provide a connection between the wires and a separate connector element as is the case in known connectors.
Turning to the three-dimensional interdigitating mating surface 16 in further detail, it will be appreciated that the mating surface can take on various forms, including for example, an irregular arrangement as illustrated in
The elongate cylindrical elements having electrically conductive contacts can be referred to as active elements, and the remaining elongate cylindrical elements can be referred to as spacer elements. In one embodiment, all of the active elements can have their ends in a first plane, and all of the spacer elements can have their ends in a second plane, different from the first plane, for example as illustrated in
Turning to the mating aspects and electrical contacts in further detail,
As shown in
Multiple electrical connections can be carried on a single cylindrical element. For example, as shown in
Note that a mating pair of contacts need not have the same geometry. For example, a conductive strip 52 can interface with a conductive ring 56. Furthermore, contacts can be placed at a variety of different positions or orientations on the elongate cylindrical elements provided that mating contacts will tangentially engage. For example, an active element can include more than one contact. As another option, the conductive region can be provided by the surface of the corresponding elongate cylindrical element itself, for example, where the elongate cylindrical element is a conductive material.
The sheath 68 may be clamped around the mated connectors to help press the contacts together and provide a reliable connection. The sheath can be a clamp, wrap around, thermo-tightening sleeve, or similar arrangement. The spacer elements can be an elastic material, so that when clamped, pressure is maintained on the electrical contacts.
As will now be appreciated, an ultra-high density connector in accordance with the present invention can provide extremely high-density interconnection. For example, 32 AWG wire has a diameter of about 0.008 inch (200 micrometer) excluding insulation. Finer wires are available, however, including insulated wires (e.g., magnet wire) as small at 60 AWG (about 0.0003 inch or 8 micrometer diameter). Such very small wires are highly desirable in applications where space is a premium, such as miniaturized electronics. As another example, some biomedical applications require wires to be threaded through parts of the body. Connectors having comparably small scale can be achieved using embodiments of the present invention.
For example, the elongate cylindrical elements can have a diameter of about 0.008 inch or less (about 0.2 millimeter or less). Using a contact arrangement as illustrated in
Although the foregoing discussion has focused primarily on electrical connections, embodiments of the present invention are not limited to just electrical connectors. Hybrid connectors are also possible. For example, as discussed above, the elongate cylindrical elements can be glass fibers or tubes.
The second group can be optical fibers 75 or elongate cylindrical elements having an optical waveguide micro fabricated thereon. The third group can be tubular elements providing a fluid communication channel through a bore 77. Connectors can include various combinations of electrical, optical, and/or fluid communication elements. As will be appreciated, optical and fluid communication elements can be positioned so that they butt head on when a pair of complementary connectors is mated. Spacer elements 78 can also be included in the connector.
Considering the hybrid connector 70 in more detail, spacer elements 78 can be selected to provide various functions. For example, as noted above, elastic spacer elements can be used to help maintain contact pressure on electrical elements 72 when mated connectors are clamped. As another example, spacer elements can be positioned around fluid communication elements 76 to function as a sealing gasket.
Electronic circuitry may be built into the connector as will now be described. Electronic circuitry can be microfabricated onto an elongate cylindrical element using cylindrical lithography, for example as described in commonly-owned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,106,455, 5,269,882, and 5,273,622 to Jacobsen et al., herein incorporated by reference. Accordingly, a connector can include circuitry to monitor the integrity of the connector, such as a thermocouple, moisture sensor, or the like. Information from the electronic circuitry can be communicated via electrical or optical signals along elements within the bundle dedicated to that purpose.
An interconnection method will now be described. The interconnection method, shown generally at 80, is illustrated in flow chart form in
Because very small connectors can be formed using microfilaments, it may be helpful to use a fixture to plug the connectors together. Accordingly, the method 80 can include inserting the first and second electrical connectors into a mating fixture. The method 80 can further include clamping a sheath around the first connector and the second connector, for example, as described above.
Finally, a method of making an ultra-high density connector will now be described. The method, shown generally at 90, is shown in flow diagram form in
In forming the bundle, ends of the elongate cylindrical elements are disposed differentially with respect to each other to define a three-dimensional interdigitating mating surface, as described above. For example, the bundle can be stacked up by placing a first elongate cylindrical element in a manufacturing jig, and then added elongate cylindrical elements on top of or along side of previously placed elongate cylindrical elements and sliding the elongate cylindrical elements along until a stop in the manufacturing jig is reached. The manufacturing jig can thus include a set of stops that define the three-dimensional interdigitating mating surface.
Alternately, the ends of the elongate cylindrical elements can initially be disposed in a common plane, and then the three-dimensional interdigitating mating surface defined by preferentially etching some of the elongate cylindrical elements. For example, cylindrical elements can be of different materials. As another example, etch-resist can be deposited on some of the cylindrical elements before forming of the bundle.
The method 90 also includes fixing 96 the plurality of elongate cylindrical elements together. For example, the cylindrical elements can be held together in a bundle by being bonded together or by being inserted inside a sleeve, ferule, or housing. For example, a bonding compound can be coated onto an outer surface of the elongate cylindrical elements before forming the bundle. Alternately, a bonding compound can be applied to the bundle after it is formed.
The method can include forming at least one electrically conductive region on an outer surface of at least one elongate cylindrical element. For example, electrically conductive regions can be formed using cylindrical lithography techniques as described in commonly-owned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,106,455, 5,269,882, and 5,273,622 to Jacobsen et al., herein incorporated by reference. The conductive regions can be of various geometries, for example as discussed above. For example, multiple layers of conductive and/or insulating materials can be formed on the elongate cylindrical element to enable three-dimensional structures on the surface of the elongate cylindrical element to be formed.
Summarizing and reiterating to some extent, it can be appreciated from the foregoing that embodiments of the present invention can provide an ultra-high density connector having a number of benefits. An ultra-high density connector as taught herein can be used to provide various types of interfaces, including electrical, optical, and fluid. An ultra-high density connector can provide a large number of electrical circuit connections in a very small volume, providing orders of magnitude improvement in connection density over known molded pin and socket type connectors. By bonding the cylindrical elements together, for example by glue or epoxy, the need for a housing can be reduced, providing an even smaller connector. Microwires used for an interconnecting cable can be used as integral part of the connector, helping to improve reliability and reduce manufacturing cost. Examples of applications for ultra-high density connectors include interfacing to microscopic probe arrays, interfacing to electrical circuits, or similar applications.
The foregoing detailed description describes the invention with reference to specific exemplary embodiments. However, it will be appreciated that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as set forth in the appended claims. The detailed description and accompanying drawings are to be regarded as merely illustrative, rather than as restrictive, and all such modifications or changes, if any, are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention as described and set forth herein.
More specifically, while illustrative exemplary embodiments of the invention have been described herein, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, but includes any and all embodiments having modifications, omissions, combinations (e.g., of aspects across various embodiments), adaptations and/or alterations as would be appreciated by those in the art based on the foregoing detailed description. The limitations in the claims are to be interpreted broadly based the language employed in the claims and not limited to examples described in the foregoing detailed description or during the prosecution of the application, which examples are to be construed as non-exclusive. For example, in the present disclosure, the term "preferably" is non-exclusive where it is intended to mean "preferably, but not limited to." Any steps recited in any method or process claims may be executed in any order and are not limited to the order presented in the claims. Means-plus-function or step-plus-function limitations will only be employed where for a specific claim limitation all of the following conditions are present: a) "means for" or "step for" is expressly recited in that limitation; b) a corresponding function is expressly recited in that limitation; and c) structure, material or acts that support that function are described within the specification. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined solely by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the descriptions and examples given above.

Making a living in 2015 from cash games ?
Hello everybody As you can all see that poker is getting tougher and tougher every year .. I imagine that the online field is almost impossible to beat and the live one implies a lot of variance since you play fewer hands per/h . Nowdays, it's a realistic goal to make a decent living from poker ? If so what form of poker do you choose online or live ? In my country living costs are between 400-600$ a month... (because Romania It's a pretty poor country) . My bankroll is 3k$ and I intend to support myself from poker until I will make enough money from it to invest in a bussines. I am willing to invest 100% in my game in order to be succesful but I want to know if this is possible anymore ... Do you guys succeed in making a living from poker ? And also how much hours do you play ? At what stakes ?
Few things:
Is it realistic? No. Getting a 9-5 and saving etc is realistic. Poker is not.
Is it possible? YES! Don't let the odds scare you. It is definately possible.
Yes poker is becoming harder and more popular etc, but it's also turning alot more players every year into fulltime players.
Cash games are the best way to make a living, this is well known. The variance in tournaments is incredibly high, and other then the TV pro's that you love to watch, most full time players make their money off of cash games.
I can't stress this enough: Do not think you can sit down and be a pro... Be prepared to dedicate years of your life to this. So keep a fulltime job as well as poker on the side, and go fulltime when you're ready.
You have a 3k bankroll. That's heaps for online stakes, but even for $1/$2 stakes (Usually the lowest a live poker room offers), that's not enough, it's only 15 buy ins. You can go through this in a week if you're not careful.
IF you want to play live, save about $10k. That's enough to get going for $1/$2 and even $2/$3. This however is NOT the case for online. The general rule of thumb for online is you want "100 buy ins" of the stakes youre playing.
You can be a bit more lenient when playing live, generally if it's less then %5 of your bankroll, you can afford to play those stakes.
re: Poker & Making a living in 2015 from cash games ?
My advice to you would be play at the lower stakes make a little money and build up. If you play too high $3000 can go away very fast. Best to get a job and make a consistent income and save a little every month. A little saved every month from a job for about 20 years can make you a millionaire, thats the best path to take. Variance doesnt guarantee you a profit in poker, live or online.
This person don't even mention that he/she likes the game.
But hey if the person has a real interest for the game andlikes to play then am i the first one to recommend a try at it.
A person in a poor country have the advantage from currency and so on.
OP only mentioned living in a poor country because it pertains to why he only needs $400 a month for living expenses.
Also - If he is interested in trying to play the game for a living I think it's fairly safe to assume he has a passion for the game. He doesn't really need to mention it.
It's also a very legitimate question as the game is getting tougher every year. Also, the future of making a living from poker can be quite questionable as the game gets closer to perfected.
I don't know how much experience you already have with poker, but it's unrealistic to think you will "decide" to turn pro and be successful right away. Be prepared to learn how much you actually don't know about the game. There is a reason every poker-loving person in the world isn't going pro; poker is a very difficult game even against bad players.
My advice: if you have a job, don't quit but instead spend more of your free time playing poker. Find someone to talk to about poker. If you don't know anyone, become a very active user on forums and post/read hand analysis threads. The biggest leaps in your game will occur when people tell you how badly you played a hand when you believed you actually played it perfectly.
If your using a hud be honest with your investment. Hope and dreams are for the movies.Take a look at 30k in hands. Are you profitable on a long term basis? Are your swings big or small in comparison to others? If you NEED $600 per month you should probably avg. $1k per month and save to build BR and save to cushion bills. If you do then you can be a bit more selective about what games to be playing rather than sitting down because you NEED the money for the month.
Treat it as if your business (it should be treated as an investment fund) then would you as a CEO invest in your poker skills. I think if we're going to give you an honest answer it deserves an investment approach. It's really not about YOU. It's about your MONEY.
This also depends on where you live. I live in Switzerland and 5000$ per month wouldn't be that much. After university you earn about 6-8k (in the beginning) and it's hard to earn more in poker.
You hear the occasional story about how some guy pluncked down a few hundred at a Blackjack or Poker table and won and never looked back. Some people win the Lottery too. In either case, it's damned improbable. Most pros are always riding that financial roller coaster. You can get broke any time. Most successful pros will tell you they've been broke more than once.
Being able to play your best when you're scraping the bottom of your 'roll with the added pressure of having to make the rent isn't something everyone can do. It requires some extra fortitude and most would-be pros don't have it.
It is now, and has always been, easier said than done.
These kind of questions are always silly to me. Obviously there is plenty of room to make money, else sites like this wouldn't exist to get better and help people get to that point. Dorugremon summed it up pretty nicely, it's hard work to get to that point but it's possible and plenty of people do it. However, many of them will go broke at some point for various reasons. Either insane bad runs, poor bankroll management, thinking you're better than you are and staying in tough games, etc. For most people a regular job is the way to live even though the idea of "easy money" is tempting.
re: Poker & Making a living in 2015 from cash games ?
Sorry OP but it's fairly apparent if you're asking these questions you are very far from being able to 100% support yourself by poker. 99% of ppl that play poker are losers in the long run. Keep grinding on your off days and get a job.
I think it depends a lot on which place you stay, whether there are enough games that you can get in, given that you have a small roll. As far as I know, there are many places in Bucharest that offer €0.20/0.50 games, which means you have about 60 Buy-ins, which is fine, I guess. But there's a catch (and this is my observation), there are not enough people to get the action going and it is usually late when the games start and people don't play for more than 2-3 hours, weekends are a different story.
*So the question whether you can make €400-600/month, possible. Given you do it every day and never skip. (Are you willing to skip the weekend parties and club hopping? When most of your friends are having fun?)
*How many hours? There are many people who have posted there experience, suggestion. I think you should listen to them. That said, in general the answer would be every day, the maximum hours you're allowed to play, to go with.
*Stakes? I think the lowest, €0.20/0.50, if its available.
All I can do now is wish you luck!
Definatly possible, I don't at the moment, but i am absolutely determined and have such a competitive mind frame with anything that I won't stop until I do.
I will read, study and devote my time to learning and playing the game until I do. The way I see it is other people can make a living out of it so why can't I?
I wonder - the author got the post of higher education? If yes - what thoughts then. easier after higher school to find a normal paid job than trying to make in poker. Yes there proffesionaly, but their unity.Romania poor? then what to talk about Ukrainians .lol
It's so so so much easier to beat live cash than online. Everyone online is a genius now if the stakes are .50/1 or above, so i would recommend playing live for a living, like i do. 2-5 nl live is super soft where i play for a living, and probably almost as soft everywhere else in the USA. By playing a solid TAG game, it's almost guaranteed that you will have a $40-50 hourly. No one ever folds in live cash, so the best way to play full ring against bad players is to play very few hands, and win most if not all of the hands you play. I've played approximately 1000 hrs of 2-5 nl live, and my hourly is over $60 at the moment. There are very few solid players where i play. I make most of my money from the weak reg fish.
I say get a job and play poker on the side. I keep a poker calendar of the tournaments I'm interested in and I work my schedule around that. Why is this important? Because if you don't have something to fall back on, you'll be playing scared money when you start hitting downswings. It's not healthy and very damaging...take it from me, it can be brutal mentally. Just have something part time on the side and be comfortable. These jobs will help you to reload online for that 100% return and not make you start thinking what your bankroll looks like without the job.
I hope to make my living grinding the cardschat freerolls
In all seriousness yes it is a lot tougher than 5 years ago but it is still possible
Buddy , in simple sense your 3k br is completely scared Money. Dont even start playing it to make 500 to 600 a mth. cos you cant Play ur A game with scared Money to make a living out of it. now what best Little advise i can give you is:
1. get a Job. there is no gte in poker at all , but Job at least gte you some Money in the mth end or wkly or fortnightly, whatever it may be. dont fall upon false dreams. work and save 10% or 20% of your salary every mth to make a nice big br. or u can try that 20% with poker .
2. dont make any excuse mate that icant find Job or there is no Job available. then do Business.
now ppl ll ask what Kind of businss one can do with 3k ? plenty of dif Kind.
A. go to every Restaurant nearby and ask to deliver their Food items or anything to them. u will be like middle man and still can make Money from delivery. u only nd a cycle to deliver .
B. buy Drinks in bulk and sell it at various crowd gathering . if you buy a drink for 50cents and sell it for even 1 buck , then if u sell even 40 a day thats ur 20 bucks . and 600 a mth. hard work , but this ll cost u much less while u ll still make gtd Money .
so to earn Money you Need to work hard. there is no shortcuts mate. the time you ll give to Play poker to make Money from your scared br, better put that hours in dif things to earn gtd Money.
thats my 2 Cents advice.rest is upto you
good luck
You can definitely make a living playing poker, Texas Hold'em, especially if your bankroll starts at 3K. The live events at a local spot are usually easier than online but that does not mean that online is impossible. You can make a decent amount of money playing online in the comfort of your own home. I would recommend starting of in the micro stakes to get an idea of where you stand with your skill level. If you loose more than 5 buy ins in 1/2NL, that is $2X5, then you still have a lot to learn.
re: Poker & Making a living in 2015 from cash games ?
I'm not a poker professional but I've beaten 2nl and moved up to 5nl. I'm studying a lot but I actually need to work on my mental game as well. Just this week I tilted a few buyins at 5nl because things didn't go so well when I tried to move up. I could easily deposit enough to play 50nl but I'm not skilled so I would just lose it. I recommend beating lower stakes and treating it like levels in a video game.
Are you a winning player at any stake yet or are you just starting out? You can make enough to support yourself but it takes time. If you worry about money early on when you're a weak player the variance will tilt you. Think of it as a long term goal that could support you maybe in a year or two.
Maybe I'll see you at 5nl zoom sometime? Good luck.

Country: Tanzania,
Type: Humanitarian & Community Development , Manual work / Construction, Medical & Health Care, Working with children,
Less than a third of the population in Tanzania have access to improved sanitation, with this figure much lower in rural areas. Poor sanitation and lack of access to clean drinking water is the leading killer of children below 5 in Tanzania. Raleigh International would like to reach over 500 children in Tanzania, providing sanitation and water systems and raising awareness within families and communities. But we need your help to do this.
Volunteer in Tanzania this summer, Raleigh's newest expedition country. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to contribute to a crucial time in Tanzania's development.
Raleigh International is looking for volunteer managers to take part on our 8 and 13 week summer expeditions in Tanzania. If you like a challenge and are looking for something new and exciting, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
Spend this summer working and living in rural communities leading and supporting young people on sustainable development projects. Less than a third of Tanzania's population have access to adequate sanitation and even fewer in rural areas. By improving sanitation such as building toilets close to a local school enables girls to continue their education; many are forced to drop out when they reach puberty due to lack of these basic amenities.
As well as a sanitation project, you could also work on a community resilience project, helping to build Early Childhood Development Centres for rural communities and thereby improving access to education and healthcare. Alongside the infrastructure element of all our projects, you and the volunteers will be carrying out awareness raising activities and events in the local community to help contribute towards long-term behavioural change.
You may also have the chance to lead your team on an adventure challenge in Tanzania's stunning southern highlands. The expeditions are diverse and the exact work that you will be doing is determined by the local needs of the project area and can differ from time to time.
We have numerous opportunities for volunteer managers both on our project sites and in our local headquarters in Morogoro;
Apply today for this exciting opportunity to support worthwhile development projects and build a stronger future in one of the poorest countries in the world.

data support an important role for the KLF1-BCL11A axis in erythroid maturation and developmental regulation of globin expression
The major B cell isoform, BCL11A-XL, binds the RAG1 (show RAG1 Antibodies) promoter and Erag enhancer to activate RAG1 (show RAG1 Antibodies) and RAG2 (show RAG2 Antibodies) transcription in pre-B cells.
Overexpression of Bcl2 (show BCL2 Antibodies) and Mdm2 (show MDM2 Antibodies), or p53 (show TP53 Antibodies) deficiency, rescues both lethality and proliferative defects in Bcl11a-deficient early B cells.
The combination of the genotypes GG and CT explains more phenotypic variance than the sum of the two BCL11A SNPs taken individually.
our study suggests that FOXQ1 (show FOXQ1 Antibodies) regulates prostate cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis by regulating BCL11A/MDM2 (show MDM2 Antibodies) expression and indicates that FOXQ1 (show FOXQ1 Antibodies) may serve as a potential therapeutic target for prostate cancer.
this study aimed to find the effect of these genetic modifiers, especially in the XmnI locus, rs11886868, rs766432 (BCL11A), and rs9399137 (HBS1L-MYB), among beta thalassemia (beta-thal) and Hemoglobin E/beta-thal patients in Indonesia.
Extensive genetic analyses have validated BCL11A as a potent repressor of fetal hemoglobin (show HBB Antibodies) level. Studies of BCL11A exemplify how contextual gene regulation may often be the substrate for trait-associated common genetic variation
Association has been found between variants at BCL11A erythroid-specific enhancer and fetal hemoglobin levels among sickle cell disease patients in Cameroon.
These data suggest a possible role for BCL11A expression in acute myeloid leukaemia biology
only HbF inducer efficient in rescuing the ability to differentiate along the erythroid program, even in K562 cell clones expressing high levels of BCL11A-XL, suggesting that BCL11A-XL activity is counteracted by mithramycin.
a successful induction of gamma-globin (show HBG1 Antibodies) includes a reduction in BCL11A, KLF1 (show KLF1 Antibodies) and TAL1 (show TAL1 Antibodies) expression.
this study found that LRF/ZBTB7A (show ZBTB7A Antibodies) transcription factor occupies fetal gamma-globin (show HBG1 Antibodies) genes and maintains the nucleosome density necessary for gamma-globin (show HBG1 Antibodies) gene silencing in adults, and that LRF (show ZBTB7A Antibodies) confers its repressive activity through a NuRD repressor complex independent of the fetal globin repressor BCL11A.
BCL11A has an important role in triple-negative breast cancer and normal mammary epithelial cells
This gene encodes a C2H2 type zinc-finger protein by its similarity to the mouse Bcl11a/Evi9 protein. The corresponding mouse gene is a common site of retroviral integration in myeloid leukemia, and may function as a leukemia disease gene, in part, through its interaction with BCL6. During hematopoietic cell differentiation, this gene is down-regulated. It is possibly involved in lymphoma pathogenesis since translocations associated with B-cell malignancies also deregulates its expression. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Don't drink and drive!! This story is only one chapter, so there's no reason to make it collaborative!
Kodi Perry helped herself to a beer, one she didn't need, and watched the steadily changing lights and tightly packed bodies on the dancefloor. Jessika Packwood squeezed out of the crowd and hop-stepped to the drinks table, eyeing up a couple of boys.
"You gonna dance, Kodi?" She asked, sweat dripping down her face.
"Umm, no thanks. I'm about ready to leave, though, so you should tell your 'friends' that you're leaving." Kodi nodded over to a couple of older men who were passing around a joint. "I'll go outside and call Micheal for a ride."
Jessika grabbed Kodi's elbow and dragged her back to the table. "Don't call Mickey, just let me drive. I've had less to drink than you."
Kodi groaned and rolled her eyes, but knowing Jessika, she'd either leave with Kodi, or without her, but if Kodi wasn't there, Jessika would probably hurt herself. She let Jessika lead her to the car.
"I just hope you don't kill us."
They got in the car and pulled onto the highway. They slowly reached 115mph.
"Why did you bring me to this pary, anyway?" Kodi questioned, curious to Jessika's response.
"I dunno." Jessika pondered. "I guess I just wanted company and thought you needed to loosen up a little."
Jessika turned and gave Kodi an over-enthusiastic smile.
"Watch the road." Kodi said dismissively, dialing her boyfriend's number on her cell.
"Pizza Hut, how may I help you?" James answered professionally.
Kodi giggled and rolled her eyes. "Yes you can. You can give me my boyfriend back!"
James laughed. "So, where are you now?"
"We're on the highway home right now. We'll be there soon. Just thought you might like to know." Kodi smiled.
"Okay then. Just drive safe, okay? I have a surprise for you when you get home." James smiled dreamily and fiddled with a small black box.
"Don't worry. Jessika's too scared of you to kill me! I'll talk to you later. Bye."
"Love you, Kodi. Bye." Hanging up, James put the box on the coffee table and turned on the TV, lounging on the couch.
Back outside, a steady drizzle had Kodi feeling drowzy. The rain also had the same effect on Jessika, however. Both had fallen asleep.
A loud, blaring honk startled Kodi awake. Seeing headlights directly in front of the car, she reached over Jessika and reefed on the wheel. She screamed, as she was too late. She jerked away from the driver's side, crouching against the passenger side window. The bumper of a huge Mac semi collided with Jessika's side of the car, sending the vehicle rolling into the ditch, stopping belly-up.
Kodi coughed, hanging upside down in the car. She quickly looked over her own body, and noticed a large piece of metal jutting out of her chest. She looked over to Jessika, trying to reassure herself that she was okay. The steering wheel had come off in the collision, and Kodi noticed this without surprise. Jessika's stomach had been impaled by the steering column. Kodi looked away, sick to her stomach.
Looking up, she noticed her cellphone sitting in the dirt on the roof of the car. She reached down and took it. Dialing James' number, she prayed he would answer. She was fading, and fading fast. All she wanted was to hear his voice.
James answered on the third ring, answering Kodi's prayers. "Hey, what's up?"
Sighing, her last wish fulfilled, Kodi started crying. "I love you, James. I always have and I always will." She pressed END without waiting for an answer, knowing it would be too much for her to handle. Feeling weaker and weaker, her phone fell to the ground and Kodi died weeping.
At home, James sat on the couch, phone still at his ear, shocked.
He slowly pulled the phone away, as if in a dream, and pushed END. Beginning to cry, James dropped the box, putting his head in his hands. With James sobbing uncontrollably, the box fell to the floor. It slid across the hardwood, tumbling open in front of the front door. Inside the newly opened little black velvet box was a small, perfect, white diamond ring.

Not that bad
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 18, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, December 18, 2013
I purchased a Hot tub from Laguna Bay Spas in Dec of 2011. It did not work properly from the get go. Troubleshooting was a pain, I had to do with a tech, who was very helpful, but it was a cumbersome process. We finally go the tub working (they send me a replacement pump, top side control panel, Heater and "black box" (they call them pump packs). They did not ask for the old parts to be returned. The tub worked fine till Nov 2013. I finally got around to calling support today and they were very helpful and are shipping out a new heater and pump packs, along with damaged cabinet peices. All under the 5 year warranty, no questions asked, claimed parts would be here in two or three days.
To me that is pretty good customer service. The parts for these unit are not of the highest quality (In my humble opinion) but they do stand behind their product and it's warranty. I purchased from them because I wasn't sure I would use hot tub much (ALL THE TIME is more like IT!) and went cheap. I went with the 2 pump 106 jet X-12 and sure wish I went with the 3 pump 122 jet X-14. Oh well, live and learn!
I have gotten WAY more then my $5800 of usage out of this tub. With a 5 year warranty, that $1200 a year for the tub or $100 a month. More then worth it, to me.

Reece was the perfect text book baby. I had a great pregnancy and enjoyed being pregnant. Reece was born a healthy 8 lbs exactly. He did have a short NICU stay for Meconium Aspiration, but came home after a week. He ate like a champ and slept like a champ. My sister had her first baby 6 months after Reece was born. He had horrible Colic. I knew how lucky I was to have a calm sweet baby. Now ask me about that calm sweet baby that is 14...better yet, don't :-) One word; Teenager.
After Reece, we weren't in a hurry to have another since we were pretty young as it was. 6 1/2 years later Mason came along. My pregnancy with Mason was just as easy as it was with Reece. I enjoyed being pregnant and felt great. My OB was a bit concerned that the baby was measuring small, but regular Ultrasounds showed no significant issues. I even opted for all the prenatal genetic testing. All came back negative. Needless to say, I was a bit shocked when I went into labor at 34 1/2 weeks. I was scheduled the very next morning for a cesarean section. I remember so vividly the exact moment Mason was pulled from my belly. There was no cry and the doctors and nurses were very quiet. I just waited and waited to hear that cry. Nothing. It felt as if hours had passed. I'm not sure why I didn't speak up or ask if everything was OK. I just waited. My OB finally spoke. He then told me these exact word; "Megan, they are taking your baby to the NICU. They are checking him for a syndrome." What? A Syndrome? I was so confused. I wasn't even really that worried at that point. I'm not sure why. Maybe it was because I had great prenatal care, felt great, and that all my testing came back fine. A few hours later, my world came to a screeching halt. I was told of all the anomalies they had identified in Mason's physical features. That he had a "distinctive look" to him that children with syndromes possess. I felt frozen and numb. Since I just had surgery, I couldn't even go see my baby. The baby that was only being described to me and referred to like some sort of Science project. Later that night I was taken down to see Mason. I didn't know what to think. He was so tiny. He was different. He didn't look like other babies. The geneticist told us that he would be severely delayed. His hearing tests told us that he was profoundly deaf in both ears. And finally, the diagnosis. Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS). "What the heck is that?" I thought. No one really knew or what exactly it all entailed, but the Neonatologist remembered in his residency (thirty-some years ago) a child with this syndrome and sure enough, he was right. Mason was born with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome.

text: Came across the following analysis on the Dolphins play against the Redskins. Admit I didn't know much about the team except that they signed former KC QB Trent Green as their starter, that his WRs dropped several passes, that they have a good defense but lost to the Skins 16-13 in overtime. Sounds like the Dolphins have a good passing attack but running game has its problems. If Cowboys can't tighten up their defense, particularly their pass coverage and put more pressure on Dolphins QB, it could be a messy game next Sunday. Dolphins' pass offense farther along than running game By PFW staff Sept. 10, 2007 The Dolphins' offense had almost a 2-1 pass-to-run ratio in a 16-13 overtime loss to the Redskins on Sunday. QB Trent Green completed 24-of-38 passes for 219 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. WR Chris Chambers was Green's primary target, hauling in six passes for 92 yards, but Green also utilized his backs often in the passing game. Meanwhile, Miami's ground game mustered a paltry 66 yards on 20 carries. Starting RB Ronnie Brown gained only 32 yards on 11 carries, with a long gain of 12. The PFW spin New head coach Cam Cameron was brought in to resuscitate a flat Miami offense, and as he did as offensive coordinator in San Diego, he was expected to showcase a balanced offense. So, the fact that Miami went to the air so frequently was quite surprising. After seeing what Cameron did with RB LaDainian Tomlinson in San Diego, RB Ronnie Brown was justifiably excited about Cameron's arrival, but 2005's No. 2 overall draft pick has to be frustrated about the current state of affairs. Brown averaged just 2.9 yards on his 11 carries and failed to find the endzone. The primary reason for the Dolphins' lack of a ground game remains a meek O-line, but their incompetence against the Redskins is particularly troubling. The Redskins allowed 137.3 rushing yards per game in 2006 — 27th in the league — and coupled with a strong secondary, most teams will try to lean more heavily on the run against them. To compensate for the lack of a ground game, Cameron got Brown and fellow RB Jesse Chatman heavily involved in the passing attack. They each caught six passes for a combined 88 yards. The good news is that when looking at their AFC East brethren, only New England offers a stiff run defense. The undersized front sevens of the Bills and Jets means that with continued maturation, the Dolphins' O-line can still find success through the course of the season.

As we face the threat of a prolonged economic slowdown, the whole of Europe continues to look toward small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to pull us out of the recession.
Yet with government austerity measures constraining commercial and consumer spending, SMEs have to dig deeper to achieve growth. Sadly there is no simple solution, other than a commitment to work smarter and harder than the competition. Out of this necessity, we are increasingly seeing these businesses embrace new technologies in very innovative ways.
In a challenging economic environment, SMEs are having to focus on the most basic elements of their business – the need to cut costs, and to grab every single opportunity to sell to and serve customers. Having effective communications is not only vital for them to be competitive and grow, but critical for their survival. Yet historically these businesses tell us that they have been underserved by the telecoms industry. Increasingly they don't want multiple solutions from multiple providers – they want one stop for everything.
There are now signs of a real sea change. Trends such as the growth of cloud services, increasing power of smartphones and the emergence of tablet devices are forcing the industry to deliver services that bring mobility together with fixed features. Not only are these services now more available, we are also seeing that SMEs are using these services to improve competitiveness.
Simple things – a single number for increased responsiveness and ease of contact, a single voicemail for fixed and mobile lines through a single supplier – are having a huge impact on the service SMEs are able to deliver to their customers. It sounds very basic, but it is surprising how many of us still give out two or three telephone numbers – be they personal, fixed, private or mobile.
The uptake of these practical and simple services is also leading to a fundamental change in the competitiveness of these businesses. Unconstrained by legacy equipment and with smaller workforces to equip and train, SMEs are exploiting the benefits of these unified communications solutions to deliver a more personal and responsive service to the people who matter the most – customers. At the same time they are able to save both time and money.
Historically, services like this were only available to large corporations with significant IT departments, who could manage and deploy these services within their businesses. Now the tables have turned, and SMEs are actually in many cases ahead of their larger rivals.
Of course technology is not the whole answer. The sentiment that "work is something you do, not a place you go" will remain an ambition for many SMEs. For many, cultural issues on the integration of mobile working practices into the mainstream are a barrier to adoption.
The SMEs that have been successful in stealing a march are the ones that have combined the technology solutions available with a shift inworking culture. Reliable and affordable services are enabling dispersed employees to call one another on their mobiles for a fixed monthly price and simple benefits like these are accelerating the adoption of flexible working practices.
The increasing numbers of SMEs who are buying into these services are outmanoeuvring their larger, slower rivals. They are truly becoming more agile and customer-focused, by enabling customers to reach the person they want to talk to, when they want to talk to them.
Many SMEs across Europe are already feeling the benefits of technology that is easier to maintain, more reliable, more scalable and more affordable than ever before, leading to much more responsive businesses who can help support SMEs to truly become the engine of economic recovery. We should hope that these enlightened small businesses who are embracing simple, responsive ways of working will both grow in numbers and fuel a sustained economic recovery.
