The Leach Treaty
First thing in the morning (which is a lie, it's one o' clock in the afternoon, but it's my morning) and I smoke a cigarette that burns my throat and scorches my tongue.
A warning siren sounds, machines grind and hammers thud - I can't tell if these are the noises of the world at work around me or the grumblings of my tired mind. Whatever.
Cheap coffee raises my senses a notch, yet my eyes remain sticky. I cough a deep lung cough, and swallowing back the mouthful of resulting phlegm head for the shower. It's going to be a beautiful day!
As the tepid three pronged drizzle dampens my hair and face this is the closed-eye thought that limps in:
I have been in mid-life crisis since I was eighteen years old. If the Ouija board was right and I will die aged 54 then I am entitled to 18 years of grace at the end of my life, to give the whole deal balance...
Today was my 35th birthday.
Realising how far from grace I am at this very moment I become amused enough to actually laugh out loud. A mistake, as it forces my bronchial tracts into spasm and brings on a coughing fit which leads to several bottles being scattered by flailing limbs and to the shower curtain being completely torn off. Terrific.
I collapse naked and wheezing into the tub and sit there for a while, contemplating two things - the moss growing around the rim of my shaving mirror, which is now in my direct eye-line, and what possible event would allow me a return to grace after so long and so deep into the wilderness?
But at least I have a year to figure that out.
I raise myself with a pathetic groan back to a standing position, and as I do so catch wind of another sound that is not sirens, or hammers, or the trickle of shower-water, or even my body in rebellion of its miserable existence. I am immediately confused by this "schlep-plop" in my head. What was that?
I quickly scour the memory and logic circuits of my brain for a similar sound. The best I can come up with is that someone or something has posted a sizable letter through my letterbox...
But isn't it too late for post? And isn't it Sunday anyway? I can't be sure of either if I'm completely honest with myself.
I drag my carcass, damp and bruised, from the bathroom to the hall and face the front door in my birthday suit, looking for the party.
And there it is. The big black envelope. The one too big for the letterbox that is there, unfolded, nevertheless. The one that when I turn it over will become a big white envelope with the words "Welcome To The Leach Treaty", written by the hand of a child, on it. The one that will give me the chance to change my life and every perception I ever had of it in 365 days.
All I have to do now is open it...!

I have had tumescent liposuction to my abdomen with umbilicoplasty. My belly button was very disfigured and ugly. It looks great now and I love the flat belly after liposuction. I recommend Dr. Morris and his staff. They were excellent with patient care and safety
Procedures performed:
I work as a personal trainer, so my body image is everything. I went from an A cup to a very pretty C cup. I Love my new look. The staff at Dr. Morris' office is awesome and I felt taken care of every step of the way! The whole procedure was done in the office setting in a private surgical suite. No cold, busy hospital to deal with. I would recommend breast augmentation to anybody that wants to feel pretty about their shape, and definitely choose Dr. Morris as your cosmetic surgeon.
Procedures performed:
At age 68 I finally decided to do something for me! I had my procedure on a Friday and was so pleased with the results immediately. I got over the procedure quickly and had no complications. It is the most grafifying thing I have had done.

Romeo and Juliette
Romeo And Juliette Remix
Once upon a time (Ok so its Tuesday 15th April, 2011) there lived two young people called Juliette and Romeo...they were in love.
One day (Ok ok...now its Friday 9th September, 2011) they went to a ball.
Thing is, Romeo and Juliette were both Gothic, and pink frilly dresses and smart suits weren't up there alley.
So they wore fishnet stockings, and black dresses, and a really wierd freaked out rockstar suit.
And everyone was like "OMIGOD LOOK AT THEM! THERE SO LIKE...LAST YEAR!"
But they were all psycopaths, who ended up on the floor from to much laughing.
So Romeo and Juliette broke up.
Too bad really.
They were nice to eacthother...ah well.

Not so bad after all
"I love it!"
Riya had to admit, after a week had passed and she had comfortably settled in, that senior school hadn't turned out to be as bad as she had thought it was going to be. Many of her friends from junior high who hadn't turned up on the very first day also came and joined in her section, so the count of unfamiliar faces decreased, and she even began talking to some of the newcomers. Somehow, all apprehensions had eased and she got used to the new, if hectic, routine of lectures, presentations and practicals.
One of the girls who had been newly accepted into the school had brought her sketch book along, and was showing Riya a charcoal sketch of a daffodil in the morning, and hence the exclamation.
"I love it! It's beautiful!"
"Thank you." Kriti bowed in a grand gesture and smiled, but had to stop her theatrics short as the bell for the morning assembly went off and everyone started preparing to leave. People adjusted their badges and ties, rubbed their shoes on the back of their socks to renew their shine, stuffed notebooks and stationary into bags and zipped them, and in a few minutes streamed out of the classroom to join the others moving solemnly towards the prayer hall.
Morning assembly was, to put it accurately enough so that nobody thinks otherwise, a unique experience for everyone present. Not speaking in the macro sense of course, for then it would amount to nothing more than the monotonous routine of school prayer, pledge, news headlines, activity of the day and then dispersal. But for a single individual, one morning assembly can be an extremely boring affair one day for he/she has nothing to do, an extremely tense time duration the next day if there's a class test in the next period, or a nervous wreck if he/she is supposed to be up on the stage and contributing his/her bit to the centuries old morning ritual. In a nutshell, there's a different part of the kaleidoscopic cosmos that we are concerned with during each morning assembly, and only come back to reality when the P.T.I. taps his finger on the mic and asks the indifferent faces to pay attention to what was happening on stage. Therefore today, for Riya, the morning assembly was nothing more than a bore while she contemplated whether she ought to be giving little Shreya a book or a toy for her birthday. Combined with the headline for the day that she caught, reporting that lead content in the colours of Chinese toys were responsible for recent reports of lead poisoning in kids, she decided Cornelia Funke's Dragon Rider would be a good gift. Shreya wasn't in that age group anymore to be putting toys in her mouth, but the book would add a teasing element that Riya was looking forward to. She smiled to herself as the activity of the day (spin-a-yarn, duh!) proceeded, thinking of how her sibling would make a show that she didnotwant a book for her birthday, but later would be found oblivious to the world, lying on her tummy with her face buried in the book.
Yellow house won the activity, as usual, and then the school captain dispersed the houses systematically. With slow steps she followed the line, and climbing the stairs that elevated the corridor from the hall, came face to face with the one guy in class she thought she did not want to see eye to eye. He was standing in the defaulters' line, so probably some part of his uniform was not up to the mark.
Serves him right,she thought. For what? She brushed the second thought away.
The next class was physics, and when Anurag came a little late and excused himself, all forty one pairs of eyes followed him as he took the backseat and took out a notebook from his bag. When Rupesh sir cleared his throat, everyone got back to listening and taking notes. Once the teacher starts speaking is when the real school life begins. Somebody coughed politely to give the cue; another dropped a pen and bent down to pick it up, managing to shift the bench in the process and producing a significant amount of metallic screeching. Stifled giggles and shared grins did a round and notes written on chits were exchanged. Riya suppressed the urge to check her MSN account, for physics was one of the classes she thought was good at and didn't want to undermine her self esteem.
The class was on speed, time and distance, and after writing the conversion values for different units of distance, turned away from the board.
"Light-year and parsec are units of distance, not time. Light-year does sound like it represents the year, but is actually the distance travelled by light in one year. So when I say the distance between two astronomical bodies is X parsecs…"
"Excuse me, sir." A single voice from the back produced the effect that teachers can only dream of producing in their classes. There was pin drop silence. Everybody turned around to look, and Riya almost literally rolled her eyes when she saw who it was. Why isn't this surprising?
"Yes?" Rupesh sir, in his long and illustrious career as a teacher spanning fourteen years, had not been interrupted very often during his lectures. And it reflected in his monosyllabic answer.
"It's 'parsec', sir."
"Yes, so?" His brows furrowed.
"I… I thought you said 'parsecs' instead of 'parsec', sir. Units in physics are not used in the plural."
"I know what is and is not used in physics, and I presume everyone present here is intelligent enough to not pay attention to minor slips of the tongue. I expect you to not interrupt classes and waste my time."
"Sorry sir."
"Sit down." And judging by the way he said it, he might have been thinking of keeping him standing for the whole class.
The rest of the class passed in total silence, with only the sound of chalk on blackboard being audible. Rupesh sir walked out almost as soon as the bell rang, and gradually the volume rose to the normal level. Sohail, one of the few who had graduated from junior high from the same school, got up from his chair and walked up to Anurag as soon as theatmospherewas normal. Everyone, Riya included, was turned sideways to hear what he had to say.
"You've got nerves man, pissing Rupesh off." He grinned and offered his hand. "I'm Sohail."
Anurag shook his hand briefly and offered his name. "You won't be in his good books for a long time by the way you messed with him for such a thing."
Anurag shook his head. "Yeah", he said with a resigned voice and looked up, making all the others quickly turn around and resume swapping notebooks for the next class, "I tend to have that effect on people." Riya was amongst the quickest ones to look away to avoid his gaze, but she heard him just fine.
"What's wrong with you, huh?" Ajay, sitting next to Anurag, asked and gave him a friendly punch on the shoulder.
The rest of the day passed without any incident, and Riya found herself sitting in the air conditioned biotechnology lab, waiting for the last bell to ring as she toyed with a DNA helix model. The whiteboard/ makeshift projector screen was in front of her, the lab instruments in the white ceramic tile covered area on the left and to the back, and the life-size windows were to the right, offering a clear view of the lobby outside. If she had been sitting facing any other direction, probably she wouldn't have seen what happened in the lobby outside when the bell for the junior section rang. But she sat with the windows to her right, and happened to turn at the precise moment when something unexpected took place. Young kids streamed out into the lobby to reach the main gate and be collected by their guardians or be taken to their respective buses. In this crowd entered Anurag from the left, where the stairway leading up to the senior section started and stood patiently, gazing into the junior section on his left and directly in front of the biotech lab's windows. A small boy, perhaps nine or ten years old, walked up to him, handed him what, judging by the little colour that caught Riya's eye, was the house badge whose absence had caused Anurag to be detained after the morning assembly. He bent down to come to eye level with the kid, shook his hand and waved goodbye as he turned around and ran towards the exit. He straightened up, adjusted his backpack and followed suit.
The world shook. "Come oooon… let's go already!" Suniti shook Riya by the shoulder and pulled her up from her seat. The classroom was almost empty.
"Mm hmm", she said and picked up her sling bag, unable to shrug off the memory of what had just happened. To put how she felt in words, it felt like an astonishing discovery.

How to transform a functional expression into a general expression
Hello to all
I will take a simple example.
How can you easily transform using Mathematica the following functional
y = 3/2 x + 1
into its general equivalent:
3 x - 2 y + 2 = 0
This general form exists because
y == 3/2 x + 1 // FullSimplify
returns True.
Is the answer given valid whatever the complexity of the initial
equality expression known to be true (with up to three unknown variables).

People in Ireland
have a Halloween parade.
Ireland is where the origin of Halloween began.The Celts used the day to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and also believed that this transition between the seasons was a bridge to the world of the dead.
Carving Pumpkins dates back to the eighteenth century and to an Irish blacksmith named Jack who colluded with the Devil and was denied entry to Heaven. He was condemned to wander the earth but asked the Devil for some light. He was given a burning coal ember which he placed inside a turnip that he had gouged out.
In Ireland, pumpkin carving
is tradition, too.
3-4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 tbsp. milk or unsweetened/plain soy milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 cups chopped cabbage or kale
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped onions or green onions

Snap apple
An apple is suspended from a string and the children are blindfolded and their arms tied behind their backs. The first child to get a decent bit of the apple gets a prize.
The Bonfire:
The Halloween bonfire is a tradition to encourage dreams of who your future husband or wife is going to be. The idea was to drop a cutting of your hair into the burning embers and then dream of you future loved one. Halloween was one of the Celt 'fire' celebrations.

Correspondence to: John L. Hankinson, PhD, PO Box 3496, Valdosta, GA 31504-3496
In this issue of CHEST (see page 416),
Eaton and colleagues report their findings on the quality of spirometry
in primary care practices and the impact of spirometry workshops. In an
analysis of 1,012 spirometry tests from 30 primary care practices, only
3.4% of patients in practices that received no training and only
13.5% of patients in practices that received minimal training had
three acceptable maneuvers with a reproducible test. The
percentages were slightly higher (12.5% and 33.1%, respectively) if
the American Thoracic Society minimum requirements1 for
interpreting two acceptable maneuvers were used. These findings
of poor quality spirometry were observed despite the use of"
built-in" spirometer quality assurance features that provide
immediate feedback to the technician concerning curve acceptability and
test reproducibility. In addition, the primary care physician's
interpretation was judged correct for only 53% of patients.

Agartala, June 27 (ANI): Trade and commerce have picked up following a decline in militancy and banks are gearing up to penetrate the rural market in Tripura.
It's a win-win situation for both villagers and local entrepreneurs who will get easy loans and banks too make good profits.
In Abhoy Nagar village of Tripura, a group of housewives, most of whom belong to tribal families, recently formed a self-help group in an effort to become self-reliant.
A loan of 50,000 rupees from Gramin Bank enabled them to start making sofa cushions, decorative bags and embroidery work.
The self-help group is now planning to expand its business and expects to employ more poor rural women.
"We save the Group's profit in the bank and if any of our members requires money for personal use, we provide it on credit," said Monika Barua, Founder, Shib Sakti Self-help Group
Decline in militancy has given a fillip to banking sector in Tripura.
More branches are now opening up in remote and rural areas and people are taking the benefit of easy loans to start new businesses, for higher education and for buying farming equipment.
Tripura Gramin Bank, which has over 110 branches in the state, has come as a boon for people in rural areas.
In 2009-10 fiscal the bank did business worth Rs 2850 crore and made a net profit of Rs 35.35 crores, the highest by any rural bank in the northeast.
"In my opinion, Tripura is now very peaceful. For a very long time, there have been no reports of any kind of unlawful activities in the region. There are no extortion cases and insurgency has almost ended," said D Mushahary, Chairman, Tripura Gramin Bank
"I hail from a very remote area, and we have a bank branch operating there. This is very helpful as those who cannot come to Agartala can easily open their accounts in nearby branches. They can now easily withdraw money from there," said Edison Uchoi, Student, Account Holder, Tripura Gramin Bank
Militancy cripples the economic, social and cultural growth of a region.
Tripura too was affected, but now things have changed for the better.
Other militancy-affected states can learn a lesson from Tripura and reap the peace dividend. (ANI)

|This is a discussion on Do u call a donkey a donkey, or do u let it slide within the online poker forums, in the General Poker section; I've seen alot of ppl compliment donkish moves and I don't really get it myself, but I also have a tendancy to do the same
Do u call a donkey a donkey, or do u let it slide
I've seen alot of ppl compliment donkish moves and I don't really get it myself, but I also have a tendancy to do the same thing, but for other reasons, so just wondering when u see a person do a really dumb ass move do u A)Compliment him/her B)Tell him his moves were donkish, and that he/she is a donkey, or C)Don't reply either way. As for me, I compliment the donkey just to get a reply and then bang I hit him/her with my favorite quote "I was kidding moron", or wtf are u doing pushing with that bunk retard or whatever I feell like at that moment, that usually gets them reved up at me, and then I wont let them go, unless they leave the table or are just transferred to a different table , that's me though, what about the rest of u's
I wrote a blog srticle about this very subject back in March:
Stick's Poker Blog: Hey Man! Don't Scare the Donkey!
And different take on it in January:
Stick's Poker Blog: Why Complain About Playing Against Donks? (http://stickspoker.blogspot.com/2008/01/why-complain-about-playing-against.html)
Mr.Sticker, sick blog, I loved it, how come no one ever told me about your blogs, damn sick ass article, I never really thought of it like that, but I'll try to shut my ass up, but damn I have a bad temper when an idiot gets rewarded and thinks they did the right move, call, or whatever, but I also see where your coming from also, once again ty for your blog sir
re: Poker & Do u call a donkey a donkey, or do u let it slide
So tell me when you suck out do you yell at yourself? People who call people donkeys only give info about themselves. Show there weaknesses. You think you are really that good? WHat makes you think you dont make donkey moves? There is a table for you at the Bellagio if you dont think you do. THeres weak players and strong players. Poker is about making mistakes and trying to contain those mistakes. I dont care if people "donk" out on me. I chose this game. Let them come. I can just try to play the best I can. And good luck to you.
I feel that rewarding them with a somewhat sarcastic "NH but this site can be sick sometimes", is giving them an idea of my disdain towards their play or the way the cards are falling. All out nailing them, will usually help set-up the person who nails to get angrier if things are said that are as moronic as the initial play. More often than not I have seen the person who goes off calling the person a donk end up playing like a pissed of player and losing to shaky plays not long after.
Too many times a person is just trying a Bluff at what turns out to be a good time and ends up with a hand that will beat yours. I feel that sitting back and waiting for the person to try this move again later, when I have a better chance to take him down is the best play.
Freaking out because of a bad play can be a good tell for players later, so why let them know you can be tilted.
I normally never say anything. The only thing that annoys me is when some IDIOT who wasn't even in the hand says "nh" after an all in bad beat like 77 vs KK or something.
Actually that isn't true. The worst is when you have a [explicative] that always says "bye" after he raises with like T3o then calls a shove and knocks somebody out with AKs.
If you're in a cash game, never ever insult someone's play. If anything, make them think you realize you "just got lucky" so that they take another poor run at you. This is old-school poker thinking where you "keep the sucker at the table" and not scare him away with sad-sack insults. But now in live play I see it all the time ... the obvious early 20s something kid that grew up without friends playing Halo 2 on easy mode "pwning it" and insults someone as soon as he wins 1 hand. Pathetic.
If someone drew out on you, curse at the monitor, swear at the ceiling fan, whatever. Don't let them know you might be steaming ... unless you aren't and you want them to think that you are which might be exploitable.
"Just be the ball." - Ty Webb in "Caddyshack"
re: Poker & Do u call a donkey a donkey, or do u let it slide
K guys walks up to a zen hot dog vendor and sez 'make me one with everything.'
Gets his dog and hands the guy a 5 and sez: 'where's my change?'
Hot dog guy sez: 'Change must come from within.'
Guess what I'm sayin is don't bring anger around the table, it will hurt u (to narutu mio), also in 'real' life.
I usually don't say anything but on occasion i will say a very sarcastic nh. But some one in the thread mentioned that other players not in the hand will say nice hand. i think that stinks. It's up to the person who lost the chips to say nice hand in my opinion
I think "donkey" is kind of overused. If you stop to think, donkey is just the polite way of saying jackass. IMHO a very good player is just as capable of being a jackass as a very bad or novice player. God knows I can be downright mule-headed at a table. I wouldn't say I'm very bad or a novice, but let's take me out of it for the moment and consider the pros we've all seen behave like absolute jackasses.
A donkey is one thing and a fish is another. A fish sucks out on you, and doesn't realize that's what he or she did. You say "nh" and they say "ty" because they really do think you meant it. Of course after the river it is a nh or at least a gh. A donkey on the other hand does the same thing a fish does but then thinks it makes them a kick-ass player and starts spouting crap like "I rock" or "Never try to bluff me"(which is of course unnecessary as you've just made a note of their being a calling station and stickied it to their avatar).
But taking it further, sometimes a donkey can be a really good player who stubbornly keeps playing his or her best and fanciest game at a table where it's not only overkill but bites them in the rear. The perfect bluff against someone who can't fold an ace even when a flush or str8 is very apparent to everyone at the table only serves to make you go on tilt. Problem is you realize it right after. You are being stubborn, and yes, a donkey. Donkeys are notoriously stubborn creatures.
I'm sorry for the bad grammar. Just know that when I say you I also mean "I" or possibly "we".
I played a satellite for Full Tilt Points today where an idiot went all in almost every hand. He continued to get lucky for a while and developed a sizable chip lead. Now, being a little pizzed off after a couple of bad beats in a cash game. So we let him have it. Tard. Donk. Moron. Whatever.
I should probably take a break from poker.
Sort of a subject change but ill tell ya what really grinds my gears, and im starting to see this alot. Some guy wins a whole lot of chips of someone else usally with the worst hand pre-flop and says ty when they win. This and people thinking that their A high gives them the devine right to win.
I mean come on whats happening to the game, the other day I was the BB and was delt 76os just me and sb in the hand flop comes out 722 rainbow so sb bets 90 chips I thought well is cheap enough to call so a 7 comes up and cut the story short my full house wins. The guy (from south dakota) says your kind would have been shot back in the day!!!!! Of course he was talking Deadwood. I was unaware that wild bill got shot for making a full house says I, and he told me good luck on cashing(i did he didnt btw).
The point im making and I said the same to him is I take my beats good or bad like a man. I feel sorry for these people in the real world what happens when things hit the fan if they cannot take a beat a game and a micro one at that.
What makes me laugh when I am playing my $1 MTT is when someone takes a beat and they start the abuse on the player who won the hand,and I am so tempted to type 'if you are such an expert,why are you playing a $1 tourney'. I sometimes wonder what type of response I would get.
re: Poker & Do u call a donkey a donkey, or do u let it slide
Response 2: Yo mama.
Response 3: I see where you live, I am getting on the plane tonite.
man, today i was at this rebuy tounament. just to give you an idea of how crazy it was:
12 entrants
141 rebuys
10 add-ons (2x price, one drop out, i didn't pay for it)
there were 2 beyond-donks at our table to accomplish this 12xrebuy / person ratio, and all i did was encourage them and tell them how bad their beats were the whole game, and how nice their wins were then they actually got them (before they lost it all again). this built up my chips from 3k to 35k by the break on only $8 invested, got them playing more hands etc etc.
always compliment the donks, or say nothing. w/o them online poker would be close to worthless imo
cool thing was that i won
sometimes when im really steamed i compliment the horrible play, i find it keeps them thinking their playing a good game, ("more chips + someone commenting me = my play must have been good, ill do the same thing next time"), good to get this programmed into the fish brains
the big thing to keep in mind as well, i think, is that when you vent in the chat box three things happen (or lack thereof):
- people think your the real idiot
- no one cares
- you get even more pissed off
when you compliment someone, it almost is soothing i find, and any pro player out there will respect you as well because they know exactly what you are doing.

re: Poker & Do u call a donkey a donkey, or do u let it slide
To my mind, if you sound off at someone who's sucked out on you, they may be the donk on the table, but you're the donk off it. It's poker, you chose it, that's what goes on, get over it. Phil Hellmuth has a lot to answer for.

A southern sun adventure
January 9th 2017 · Read More · Comments Off
I noticed the other day, a new place in town, called a southern sun adventure. The best tanning in town. I knew it wasn't on the up and up, when people were leaving as white as they were when they went in. Exactly what I thought, a thai massage Manchester, that not only gave clients a massage but was also a prostitution ring. I immediately called the police. The police got there, arrested 5 people that worked there and 10 clients. Not only a prostitution ring was found, but also a child about 11 years old was found, bound, gagged and chained to a bed. Police could hardly tell if the child was a boy or a girl, the child needed a bath so bad. After a bath and cleaning up real good, She was a girl. Very badly beaten and starved. I was so angry. Thank God she was found safe.
