So I got into poker dealer school...
So I made it into the poker dealer school, which is a dream of mine. Are there any dealers out there that can offer any advise to prepare?
I've played a lot of hold'em but bot so much Omaha and it seems hard to memorize those pot limits. Is there a good way to practice that at home?
What about practicing dealing out the cards? Dealers all seem coordinated and fast...
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Congrats! I'd love to do a stint as a dealer. It's not as easy as some people may think.
I only ever deal at home games with friends, and they make me deal 90
% of the games since they are not really players (at the start someone will always ask "What's the best then, a straight or a flush" ... and they are not joking). The first hand I deal is ok, and then it down hill with each beer I drink. In the end I'm dealing like a 5 year old and asking players "how many cards have you got"
SO obvious tip ... stay sober.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Hahahaha! Yea it was not easy to get into the school either. I got lucky. The casino here only offers the class for 10 people and they offer a lot of interviews to people who already work there...
But even at that after 5 weeks of training for 5 hours a day they still only start you off at 2-3 days a week and that's only if you pass the audition. So you still have to do good and I want to get as much practice as I can
Over compliment=great tips. Great Job, nice bet, awesome call, all that stuff. People like to hear it. That said, don't be annoying about it. Do it for big pots=more tip money. Also, make people feel comfortable, always use there name when they win a pot, "Great job John," etc.
re: Poker & So I got into poker dealer school...
With springfield massachsetts 5 mins away from me i have had this same thought. As i write this they are building a new casino in the field and i wouldnt mind working there i am going to have to look into this myself . im sure with foxwoods and mohegan sun close by there maybe something for me around this area .
I think some of it would be hard to practice, like how to deal with specific situations. The easiest things to practice at home will be how to hold and flick the cards. Instead of getting ahead of yourself, just wait until you start class, but make sure you go home and practice and study every night. The difference will show.
As far as technique goes, there are videos on YouTube that you can look up to practice from but some are good and some are bad, and it depends too on exactly what techniques the school / casino wants you to use. I know a lot of American casinos don't seem to be too keen on pitching, for example (which makes me sad).
Generally speaking most places will use the riffle-riffle-strip-riffle-cut method for shuffling, so practice that. You'll want to be practicing with 100% plastic cards (Copags, KEMS or similar) because paper cards will fray at the edges very quickly and make it a nightmare.
Aside from that, one thing you can definitely practice at home is working out side pots. Deal seven hands, put a random pile of chips in front of each one, assume everybody is all in, and then work out all the side pots. Chances are you'll never have to deal with a situation that complex in real life, but if you're prepared for that then you should be able to easily handle the 2-3 pot situations that do come up on a regular basis.
If you want to make good tips just be good at your job. Don't screw up, deal quickly and efficiently, keep the game moving along so everybody maximises their hands per hour (thereby maximising the number of hands you can receive tips on) and you'll be fine.
As a frequent live player, here are some things I appreciate from dealers.
1) When a dealer welcomes me to the table
2) When a dealer announces the amount of a bet
3) A dealer that makes a consistent effort to point out the action especially if I'm in seat 1
4) Dealers that dont excessively chat with the regs. Saying hello, acknowledging that yes they took a brutal beat last night is OK but discussing the local sports teams and your sports bets just slows things down (even if you don't think it does)
What are the rules on dealers playing poker, i guess they are not allowed to play in casinos they deal at (unless it's a dealers only game)? Are you still allowed to play in other casinos and online?
Scotlands very own Ludovic Geilich (name doesn't sound Scottish but when he opens his gob he's definately Scottish) is an x-dealer. I do believe that his very distinctive and successful style (maniac-genius?) comes from his time as a dealer. Do you plan to keep developing your poker game or are you going to focus on being the best dealer in the state (or both)?
re: Poker & So I got into poker dealer school...
And I think I've discussed this before in previous threads, but being a dealer doesn't really do much in terms of making you a better poker player. Spending time playing the game and studying makes you a better poker player. Spending time dealing makes you a better dealer.
UPDATE- So I've completed 2 weeks of the school. Everyone in the class seems to be doing pretty well because everyone has experience playing poker, which really seems to help. They had the class before with 10 people and only 4 of the people made it through. The other 6 had no poker experience.
It seems like it's going to be a great job. The mistakes I need to work on is basically reading the hands quickly at the end. It seems like when your thinking about 20 other things and at the end you haven't really studied the board it makes it harder at the end to read the hands. We are doing PLO in a week and that seems like that'll be even harder. Anyone have any pointers for that?
Hopefully that will get better with practice before I actually start dealing.. The job itself sounds great. How else are you going to make that much money working stort hours when you consider everything. Also, I like how your busy the entire time, which makes time go faster…
I can shuffle, shuffle, box shuffle and cut the deck in about 20 seconds right now. Anyone else know what their time is for that or what the average time is?
Thanks for everyones input! I really appreciate it.
Oh yea, I also made a post about a little criminal blemish I have that I'm uneasy about. Here is the link: http://www.cardschat.com/f13/working...record-263184/
If anyone knows anything about that it's also greatly appreciated too!
Thanks again!
Congrats on getting into school! Only advice I would think would be practice cutting your chips and handling your cards. I'm a dealer at a casino resort. I had to start out with blackjack so you are lucky!

It's important to be reminded about safety by your Toyota Matrix alert systems, but sometimes these bells and whistles can be dangerously distracting. Following the steps below will disable your car's driver and front passenger seat belt alarm sounds; to reactivate the system, simply reverse the process.
Open the driver's side door. Standing outside the car, reach in and turn the ignition switch to the "On" position. (Do not start the car and do not lean on the driver's seat.)
Press the "Odo/Trip" button on the dashboard until the odometer display reads "Odo."
Turn the ignition switch off, then turn it back to the "On" position. Within six seconds, press the "Odo/Trip" button again and hold it down for at least 10 seconds.
Continue to depress the "Odo/Trip" button. At the same time, fasten the driver's side seat belt and check the odometer display: It should now read "B-On."
Release the "Odo/Trip" button and press it again. The display should now read "B-Off."
Turn the ignition switch off. Unbuckle the driver's side seat belt. Sit in the driver's seat. Turn the ignition switch on again as you depress the brake pedal. If all steps have been followed correctly, the seat belt alert system should be disabled and no seat belt alarms should sound.
Tips & Warnings
- As an alternative to the process described above, ask your Toyota dealer for seat belt extenders. Install them on the front driver and passenger belts according to the included instructions, and the seat belt alert system will be disabled automatically.
- Defeating your Toyota Matrix seat belt alert system may endanger you and your passengers. Whenever your car is in motion, all passengers' seat belts should be fastened securely: It's safest--and it's the law.

Stroke, defined as the rapid loss of brain function resulting from a disrupted blood supply to the brain, can result in permanent neurologic damage or death. Strokes can be classified as either Hemorrhagic or Ischemic. Ischemic strokes, which are caused by blockages of blood vessels, (e.g. by blood clots), account for almost 90% of strokes. Hemorrhagic strokes, which are caused by ruptured blood vessels and hemorrhage, account for about 10%.
Symptoms range from the inability to move limbs on one side of the body to impaired speech and vision. Important risk factors include age, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and diabetes.
According to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 800,000 Americans experience a stroke each year. Stroke is also the 4th leading cause of death among Americans. In 2010, total costs related to stroke were almost $40 billion.
Current Treatment
Treatment for stroke can vary depending on whether the stroke is Ischemic or Hemorrhagic.
Treatment for Ischemic stroke focuses on restoring blood flow to the brain by dissolving existing blood clots. This can be done with medications administered intravenously within approximately 4-5 hours of the onset of the stroke. Microcatheters can also be used to administer medications directly to the blocked artery or to mechanically break apart the clot.
Treatment for Hemorrhagic stroke focuses on both controlling bleeding and reducing pressure in the brain. Different medications can be given to counteract the effects of blood thinners or lower intracranial pressure and prevent vasospasm and seizure. Most intracerebral hemorrhages are caused by high blood pressure. Treatment involves controlling the blood pressure and in some cases invasive surgery to remove the blood clot from the brain. Intracerebral hemorrhage from other causes such as ruptured aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations involves treatment of the offending pathology and may involve surgical clipping of the aneurysm or surgical removal of the arteriovenous malformation. Endovascular coiling is another method by which aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations can be treated through a minimally invasive approach.
Focused Ultrasound Treatment
Preclinical research is exploring the ability of focused ultrasound to dissolve blood clots by directing ultrasound energy to cause vibrations that can either break the clot apart directly or make it more susceptible to the effects of thrombolytic agents. Researchers have shown the feasibility of treating both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke as well as inducing reperfusion of occluded blood vessels in other organs of the body. More work is needed to optimize the parameters of focused ultrasound before research can reach the clinic.

Despite FIFA scandal, the show goes on for South American soccer
By Paulo Prada
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - When Chile hosts Argentina on Saturday in the final of the quadrennial Copa America tournament, little may seem out of the ordinary unless the home team, which has never won a major soccer competition, pulls off an upset.
Behind the scenes, though, it is a wonder the event came off.
The tournament's organizer, the grouping for South America's national soccer federations, is scrambling for financing and fretting over the fate of senior officials, many of whom were indicted or described as "co-conspirators" in the ongoing U.S. probe into corruption in the world's most popular sport.
Also, the top three executives of the confederation's key partner are under arrest. The company purchased marketing rights for this and the next three Copa America tournaments, and the executives are accused of masterminding a bribery scheme involving $110 million in promised kickbacks.
Somehow, the 12-nation tournament still proceeded, just two weeks after U.S. prosecutors unveiled their indictments.
What's more, none of the many broadcasters, sponsors or other third parties with contracts for the future Copa Americas have cut ties with the tournament.
Despite corruption at the bodies that govern soccer, fans find the sport irresistible. Because the alleged fraud has not been linked to the many third parties at Copa America, it is business as usual for most companies.
"If you yourself did not break the law and you believe that you signed a valid contract, you have no real incentive to change it," says one Europe-based attorney and expert on media rights, who requested anonymity because in the past he advised FIFA, soccer's global governing body, on television contracts.

Letter for my Friends with BenefitsSubmitted by RicktheD on April 3, 2017 (1 month ago)
Posted in Blog: English | Categories: Erotic | Tags: wife lovers, woman, relationship
Hello, how are you? I hope that this letter finds you in good spirits.
Unfortunately, I would like to air out some grievances that I have with you. This is a conversation of a man to a woman; so please respond with an open mind. Some things I say here may shed light on the truth of our ugly situation.
First, let me introduce myself; I am the other man in your life. I am here because you invited me. I am her man on the side and I am quite content with that. I get what I want from this relationship and, contrary to popular belief, our relationship revolves around more than just sex. I am not here to judge you, so I ask you to stop judging me. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Now that I have gotten the pleasantries out the way, let's get down to business. I am not some scandalous hood-rat running around on a mission to take someone's woman. I am a man who have been with you for almost 3 years now, we enjoy every sex, every fantasies that we think about and I am angry because somehow everyone wants to throw dirt on my name by labeling me a jump-off as a means of demeaning and devaluing me. I am a guy that knows what I want and that is a relationship with no strings attached. Unfortunately, often I have been erroneously named a jump-off when, often, there is no woman to speak of on my life. Now that is not fair! Why can't we just be friends with benefits, you confessed to me that you are falling inlove and it is slowly...
To Go or Not Go Out with Ex-JowaSubmitted by candace on July 2, 2016 (10 months ago)
Posted in Blog: Taglish | Categories: Non-Erotic | Tags: gf, relationship, break up, bf, no closure, coffee date
Hi everyone,
I just want to get your opinion of what to do when you're in this particular awkward situation:
I had an ex-bf which is married now and our break-up five years ago was not really that good. In short, there was no closure. We parted ways and cut the ties right away. * communications after that. So, I remain single but moved on already.
I've got two questions for both men and women:
1. What if you accidentally bumped with your former bf/gf in the mall then invite you to have coffee?
2. What if he/she's with the wife/husband, what will you do?
As for the first question, I would say yes to the coffee invitation with the hope of assessing myself kung okay na ba ako or hindi pa. It's my chance to challenge myself na I'm fine kahit walang closure because, basically, no closure is what happening in real life and sometimes, we should accept that and move on.
If my former partner is with the wife and he greeted me, I'd say hi or hello. Greetings lang naman 'yon and no need to be sour about it or iwasan. I guess it is called maturity on my part.
All answers/opinions are very much welcome.
Thank you. :)...
Love Letter ni Kimmy sa BoyprenSubmitted by candace on September 3, 2015 (1 year ago)
Posted in Blog: Taglish | Categories: Non-Erotic | Tags: Lovers, Boyfriend, love letter, relationship, fiction short story
A/N: This story is part of my "made-up random" short stories collection and posted on my personal blog, which has been in indefinite hiatus for almost a year.
Hi Boyfriend,
Teka, bago ko umpisahan ang aking love letter (naks, love letter!) eh gusto kong sabihin na first time 'ko na gumawa nito. Hindi ko alam kung tama ba or kailangan bang may formula or structure pag sumusulat ng love letter. Pero ang importante 'yong nilalaman. Agree ka? Oo ka na lang ha.
Sige, heto na.
Mahal kita.
Alam mo, sa unang pagkakataon, nasabi ko rin 'yan. Kahit ako medyo nagulat eh, dahil kahit sa magulang o kaibigan ko hindi ko pa nasabi 'yan. Hindi ako sanay. Nahihirapan ako, 'yon ang totoo. Siguro dahil dinadaan ko lang sa gawaing bahay, sa pagta-trabaho, sa mga simpleng regalo kapag na-trip-an kong magbigay.
At simula noong unang beses na sinabi ko 'yan sa 'yo, kahit paano ay nasasabi ko na 'yan sa mga talagang minamahal kong kaibigan at sa magulang ko syempre. Naisip ko tuloy, kailangan ibang tao pa ang magbigay ng lakas ng loob sa'kin para lang masabi 'yan.
Mahal kita.
Ewan. Hindi ako sigurado kung ano ang dahilan bakit mahal kita. Kailangan bang may dahilan? Specific reason tulad sa Math problems? Siguro'y makulit ka at napapatawa ako sa mga hirit mo? Marahil lagi kang ngumingiti kapag m...
TAYO BA?(M.U-malabong ugnayan)Submitted by goddess on October 12, 2014 (2 years ago)

First, let's define "NO LABEL":
Ito yung tipong hindi kayo, pero parang kayo matatawag ring M.U. (Malabong Usapan Mutual Understanding) Pseudo-relationship
Ano nga ba ang opinyon ko rito?
Masaya at nakakakilig, pero sa simula lang. Halos bihira tumagal ang mga ganitong klaseng "Relasyon". BAKIT?
Patagal ng patagal, may isang sobrang mafa-fall. Ang tendency, mas mag-eexpect. At kapag nag-expect, at hindi natupad ang gusto, masasaktan.
Since wala namang "commitment", eh hindi namang obligadong tumupad ng pangako. Kapag gustong magquit, basta-basta lang aalis.
Selosan? Tsk. Di pwede, hindi naman kayo e.
May iba siyang crush? Di dapat umangal, wala namang "karapatan" eh.
Dahil sa mga "problemang" ito, humahantong ang ganitong relasyon sa "STRANGERS AGAIN". Kasi mahirap nang bumalik sa pagiging "Just friends" pagkatapos ng lahat. Bibihira lang ang mga nakaka-cross sa border ng MU to LOVERS. Yung mga nagiging "official couple" na talaga. Patatagan lang talaga 'to at kung gaano kamahal ang isa't isa. Makikita dito kung totoo bang nagmamahalan ang dalawang tao, o kung laro-laro lang ang lahat.
Ikaw, hanggang kelan mo ba kakayanin ang relasyong "UNOFFICIALLY YOURS"?

Dick's shaft remained inside Claire's pussy and he felt her pussy pressing on his shaft
"ahhhh Claire… hmmm shit ang muscle control mo ahhhh" with a smile on his face
Claire smiled sweetly and smacked his lips…
Claire and Dick fell asleep….
In the middle of the night, Dick woke up and with only the light coming from the full moon, she can see the angelic face and the curvy figure of Claire. Dick thought how possible it is that an angel be at his side now.
Carefully and gently, he caressed her hair and took some of the strands away from her nose. Gently and slowly he planted a kiss at her cheek, at her chin, and a smack at her lips.
"Hmmmm.." murmured Claire.. "Loves, why are you awake?" she asked
"I just wanted to make sure that all of this is not a dream", Dick answered "I can't believe na may diosa sa tabi ko now"
Claire gave Dick her sweetest smile and slowly lifted her hand, pulled Dick's head closer to her and planted a light kiss on his lips. Instinctively, Dick opened Claire's mouth his tongue, circling it inside Claire's mouth. Claire, sucked Dick's tongue and pulled his head closer.
Dick gently inserted his hand inside Claire's blouse and mashed her breasts gently…. pinched her nips between his two fingers and slowly...
lust vs love(share lang)Submitted by goddess on August 30, 2014 (2 years ago)
Posted in Blog: English | Categories: Non-Erotic | Tags: love, Lust, relationship
Ever wondered if you were truly in love, or truly in lust?
Did you know that falling in love actually happens over time, and the journey from initial attraction to deep romantic love is a predictable course that depends on many different factors?
Love is an intense feeling of affection toward another person. It's a profound and caring attraction that forms emotional attachment.
On the flip side, lust is a strong desire of a sexual nature that is based on physical attraction. Lust can transform into deep romantic love, but it usually takes time.
Two individuals will transform their lust into love when they get to see the whole individual (their strengths and weaknesses) and get past the "fantasy level.
Dr. Helen Fisher, a well-known researcher on the topic of romantic love, has identified three stages to falling in love in her excellent book Why Him? Why Her?: How to Find and Keep Lasting Love and I've been inspired by her research in writing this post.
Which stage are you at?
Stage 1: Lust
Lust is the first stage of falling in love. It's driven by desire. The sex hormones play an important role in this stage. According to experts, this stage may begin immediately and can last up to two years.
Signs that you're in lust:
You're focused on the physical appearance of the object of your desire.
There is a strong desire to have sex, but not deep e...

Mag 10 buwan na pala ako dito sa FSS. Ang bilis ng panahon. Reader lang for a month bago sumali sa chatroom at nakipagkulitan. Maraming nakilala at marami rin bumubulong. Minsan tumatagos pa dahil hindi pa sanay makipagbulungan. Kapag newbie asahan na maraming whisperer. (wink wink wink...)
Sa mga nagdaang buwan, may mga bagay natutunan at naobserbahan sa pakikitungo sa virtual world. Ilan sa mga ito ay ang mga sumusunod:
1. Kapag nagpasiklab ng ari-arian o dami ng pera.
Obviously, mukhang sexual predator agad. Fuck and forget na gusto lang makaisa agad. Minsan parang pasimple ang kwento pero sa totoo ay sinasadyang sabihin yun para isipin mo na big time siya. Iwasan yan coz chances are it's not true at mababaw ang lalake.
2. Kapag nagkwento ng mga naikama niya "raw".
Red flag agad. Masamang pangitain. Kadalasan ay di totoo. Nagpapasiklab lang para kunwari ay maraming nahuhumaling sa kanya. Tiyak na ikukuwento ka rin niyan kapag nadale ka.
3. Kapag very eager makipag "SOP"
Parang nagmamadali. Libog na libog ba? Konting himas muna dapat, di ba?
4. Kapag nanghingi na ng load.
Di makapagtext sayo kase wala daw load. Ok lang na maubusan kaso kapag sinabing "penge ng load" ay takbo na agad. Deserve mo bilang babae na kahit sa text or call lang ay gastusan ka ng lalake.
5. Kapag nagyaya ng EB or eyeball tapos may pa...
10 thing about love and relationship8Submitted by maxxx on June 2, 2014 (2 years ago)
Posted in Blog: Tagalog | Categories: Non-Erotic | Tags: love, relationship
1. May panahon sa lahat ng bagay. I-enjoy ang kasalukuyang season ng iyong buhay. Hindi mo puwedeng ipilit ang isang emosyon o relasyon na hindi pa hinog. Mapakla. Hindi rin masarap ang hininog sa kalburo. Iba pa rin ang natural at sariwa.
2. Huwag magpapaniwala sa love at first sight. Attraction at first sight mayroon. Magkaiba ang spelling at meaning ng love atattraction. Hindi mo puwedeng mahalin ang isang tao na hindi mo kilala. You should never a marry a stranger. Ang fairy tales para lang sa mga bata.
3. Kung BF/GF lang ang hanap mo humanda kang masasaktan. Dahil wala kang intensiyong patagalin ang samahan. All relationships should be motivated by marriage and not mere casual and temporal flirtationship. Kaya kung hindi ka pa handang mag-asawa, huwag muna. Baka paglaruan mo lang ang puso ng iba.
4. Hanggat hindi kasal, huwag ipagkamaling patatatagin ng physical intimacy/sex ang inyong pag-ibig sa isat isa. Nagdadaglang kayo ng kumplikasyon at problema. Dahil kapag nakasama iyan sa menu ng relasyon, mahirap tigilan. Hindi ninyo kailangang ng practicum sa bagay na iyan para masabing sexually compatible kayo talaga.
5. Pumili ng karelasyon na handang sumuporta sa pinagagawa sa iyo ng Panginoon. Always bear in mind your life mission. Mahirap makasama ang isang taong walang kaamor-amor sa iyong passion. Huwag magdagdag ng krus na magbibigay sa iyo ng labis na konsumisyon.
6. Mapapatunayan mong mahal mo talaga ang tao kapag nalaman mo at nasaksihan an...

Please don't ask me
what i'm thinking,it's about you.
And please don't asks me
I never can see you,what can I do?
My first impulse is to run by your side.
My heart is not free and so I must hide.
Please don't ask me what i'm gonna say to you.
I toss and turn,
Can't sleep at night.
it's worrying me.
I go to bed and turn off the light.
But your face I see.
It only hurts the more I pretend.
That we could be ever be more than just friends.
Please don't ask me,
Why i'm so inlove with you.
You could easily make me happy
that I know.
But I try my best to never tell you so
I will sing to you my love songs and pretend.
And i'll keep my secret right down to the end.
Please don't ask me why am I not talking,
I just can't explain.
And please don't ask me,
why I go out walking in the rain.
I could not live the lie it would take.
It would be a mistake.
Please don't asks me
Why i'm so inlove with you.
No please don't asks me
why i'm so in love
with you.
It's never easy to deny what the heart and mind keeps inside.Sometimes one must end their folly for another person's attention to notice them for their love.Sadly,they just can't say it out loud because they know society will condemm their illicit relationship.I won't deny but I won'...

Catherine was extremely helpful. Her patience and understanding were superb. To us Goodwins were faultless, helpful, understanding, courteous and lots and lots of other good things. There was a possibilty I may not have been present when your van arrived. Darren helped very promptly with a contingency plan. In the event I was able to return from London in time to receive the items being delivered. What a treat John and Ian were. Super helpful, super courteous and super careful moving items.
The service was excellent and the crew gladly deal with any issues that cropped up. This left us to get on with all the other stresses that come with such a big move! All were very polite and courteous and went bone and beyond to overcome any issues that arose during the move.
Very efficient on the day and day before. Excellent customer service very efficient and friendly staff from start to finish. I would recommend these services to any family or friend. Thank you Britannia.
Very prompt & efficient. The approach / attitude & politeness - super. Although we had lots of paintings - I wonder whether some pre formed packing cases for paintings would help. It took one of the crew lots of effort to build wrapping cases. He did a fantastic job at considerable effort- so not a criticism but did rely on the individual having lots of patience and dedication. The administration and professionalism of the office staff- a credit to the company.
Catherine and Lynne were very helpful. Alan, John and Ian were excellent couldn't have asked for more from them. Alan had been part of the removal crew when we left Stafford 3 years ago and remembered us. We can't praise them enough, they were very professional, yet friendly at the same time. Excellent!!!
For us and the crew we had nothing could be improved upon. Had used before and would recommend to anyone moving.
Great reputation and fair prices. Both drivers went over and above to complete the job in a professional and timely manner. Their sense of humour was also a welcome relief during a stressful period in our lives!
Both drivers were excellent, I genuinely enjoyed working alongside them on both days, hats off to you both gents :-)
Removals crew were fantastic they went out of there way to make sure it all went smooth and went above and beyond ... Total credit to the company.
I have used the company twice now and I would not use anyone else I would highly recommend to family and friends
They were fantastic, they were extremely helpful and polite even when they had to carry my (very heavy) sofa down the road and through the back door at both houses!! They were very efficient and careful and I would highly recommend them.
Really helpful. We needed quick response and we got it with no fuss paperwork and clarity. [The removal crew] were brilliant. Friendly, hard working and worth every penny. Polite and really supported my wife who is heavily pregnant and needed a bit of TLC as well as being told to sit down and allow them to do the work. They couldn't have made this move go any smoother for her and they deserve real praise. Thank you!

Hudgins, Velez helping set the tone for Indians' defense
With only three starters returning from last year's 10-1 team, the theme for this season's Manhattan High football team thus far has been inexperience.
But when it comes to the defensive line, that mold doesn't fit.
Led by Chris Hudgins and Brandon Velez, one of the three returners, the defensive line has set the tone for the Indians through four games this year.
"They do have some varsity experience from years past," head coach Joe Schartz said. "Brandon was a starter for us every game last year at right tackle on the offensive line, and Chris had opportunities to play defensive line last year, so it's important that they have that experience out there, not only for themselves but for the entire defensive unit."
Schartz couldn't be happier for the two of them as they lead a defense that is young at the linebacker spots and has plugged in some transfers in the secondary.
"They both have worked extremely hard in the weight room to develop themselves," he said. "I'm just happy to see them have the opportunity in their senior year to not only contribute but really to lead the defense."
The Manhattan rush defense has been solid all year, giving up 166 yards per game this season. In the Centennial League, only Topeka High (78) and Shawnee Heights (139) have fared better through four games. Much of the credit for stopping the run goes to Hudgins and Velez.
"They're both very good athletes," Schartz said. "With both of those two, speed is a big part of their game. They both have good 40 times for their size and they're both real quick. They're tremendous athletes and tremendous individuals."
Both have proved to be versatile this year as well.
In goal-line situations on offense, both Velez and Hudgins line up in the backfield in a formation designed to barrel into the end zone. So far, each has scored a 1-yard touchdown.
Hudgins also handles a majority of the kickoffs for the Indians.
For Velez, who moved to defense from the offensive line, the transition has been painless.
"It has been, just because of his athleticism," Schartz said of the smooth transition. "He's got the nice frame for the defensive line. He can use those long arms for leverage and when he sees the football he's able to go make a tackle."
Another big part of the pair's leadership comes from putting in the time over the years, whether it's on the practice field or in the weight room.
"Their teammates respect them— what they do on the field as well as what they do in the classroom and in the weight room," Schartz said. "They're just good kids and they're fun to be around."
With Topeka West as the opponent tonight, the Indians should have another good game stopping the run. In a loss to Washburn Rural, which so far has the third-worst defense in the league, the Chargers were only able to gain 84 yards on the ground and 26 through the air.
Those stats bode well for Hudgins and Velez, who should have advantages in both athleticism and quickness when they swarm the running attack of the Chargers.

Vessel for silver. Gah
'I called you a b*tch. What's wrong with that? Female dog, is it not?' I grin and laughter bubbles out of my lips. It makes her angry. 'Oh would you rather I told you to go howl at a bit of rock in the sky instead then? I believe I told James to do that. He wasn't best pleased by it, for some reason.' I'm laughing as I talk and Konrad glares at me. I ignore him, focussed on provoking this werewolf. She advances threateningly and the silver jerks around defensively. My still exposed arms are quickly flooded with the shining silver. The swirls of bright magic make the werewolf stop in her tracks, hesitating.
The demon spider thing laughs louder than before and drops from his web, transforming as he falls. He becomes a human and sits in the doorway of the bus. His form is cracked and fine black lines shatter him like a mirror before it falls apart. He lights up, ignoring the driver's glare, and watches with an interested expression as the werewolf begins to advance again.
'Not afraid of me?' I say, not knowing where the words come from. She growls wordlessly in response. 'You should be.' Another sneering growl. 'I am the silver's vessel. I have absorbed Jesse's and Konrad's power over the silver, and am twice as powerful as I was before I got on this bus.' Oh so that's where the words are coming from. The silver. I don't know whether it's bluffing or not. I hope it's not. I stand rigid, waiting for the werewolf to attack me, half petrified, half confident.

Well, the first week is over and it hasn't been as bad as I feared.
There is a rash around the injection site about 2 inches in diameter and yesterday, for the first time, that area hurt a bit, especially when I climbed the stairs.
My appetite is the same, I'm thirstier for sure and finding I'm getting cramps in my feet every now and again. At the worst possible moments sometimes, like when I'm driving. Ever try to NOT step on the gas when you get a foot cramp? Its really, really hard not to speed. LOL.
One thing I have noticed though, is my temper is hair trigger. That makes it really hard for my son. but he's been told that it isn't really me, its the meds. He's getting lots of hugs though because of it.
I am finding myself a little winded and more easily tired. Slept for 12 hours the other night and that is very unusual for me. I'm a 6- to 6 1/2-hour a night person.
Other than that, things don't feel and look so bad.
On to week 2!

Later this week, the books team is off to Edinburgh international book festival to bring you coverage of as many of the events, author talks and discussions we possibly can. From 10 August until 26 August, we'll be camping out in the press yurt at the festival site at Charlotte Square Gardens. Each day we'll be writing a live blog and podcast to keep you up to date with all the latest from the festival. And whether you're in Scotland or Nova Scotia we'd like you to join in.
If you are lucky enough to be at the festival, we already have a space open for all your snaps of Edinburgh in full festive swing.
However, we know that many of our readers will not be able to be there in person, so we'll be devising lots of ways for everyone to get involved.
Our first challenge is to come up with a quote about reading, which may earn you a very special piece of posterity. For the time being, our lips are sealed - but enter your quote and watch this space.
The task is to explain in a single sentence why reading matters to you.
A couple of weeks ago we issued a Twitter challenge for six words summing up the best thing about reading, and had lots of responses which focused on escaping to other places:
RT @soph_amelia: @GuardianBooks The best thing about reading is being able to do it on your own
— Guardian Books (@GuardianBooks) July 26, 2013
@GuardianBooks The best thing about reading is the people you meet
— Ruby Parker (@_bunnystalker) July 26, 2013
@GuardianBooks knowing I'm either on holiday or in bed.
— Blair Millen (@discusster) July 26, 2013
The good news is that you don't have to stick to six words here. But whether or not you are inspired by that magic quote, join us for the latest news, and let us know what you want us to report. Each morning we'll start with the schedule for the day, and then post your pictures. We'll cover some events live, and even put up the odd video or two, oh, and there are bound to be a fair number of updates on the weather, too.
Altogether now:
Reading matters to me because...

"Queen of Shops" Mary Portas wants to apply her trouble-shooting skills to struggling non-fashion retailers in a third series of her BBC2 programme.
In the third series of Mary Queen of Shops Portas will apply her expertise to six non-fashion British high street independent stores – anything from newsagents, to chemists and bakers – which are in need of her help. The programme has previously featured fashion chains and charity stores.
Last month, Portas appeared in Mary Portas: Save Our Shops, examining how the recession is threatening the high street and aiming to halt the number of shop closures in the UK. In the show she followed the struggling independent retailers of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire.
Optomen Television which will make the third series says Mary has "a phenomenal talent for unlocking the potential of businesses - both large and small.
"Up to 100 shops a day are closing in Britain. You may also be feeling the pinch. But, through expert advice, sharing the tricks of the trade, and devising a solution specific to your shop, we can try to get your store on the road to success. It's a very special, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Any non-fashion independent retailer that is struggling in the current challenging retail climate and wanting Mary's help are being invited to speak to the television company

The leaves have fallen and the gourds are out which means the holidays are on their way. And we all know what that means. It's time to start thinking about holiday decor. Today we're creating holiday stockings that you can easily hang over the fireplace with handy dandy VELCRO® Brand Holiday Decor Wraps.
Follow along to check out six charming ways to embellish your stockings!
Hot Project: DIY a Festive DIY Garland in 30 Minutes
- VELCRO® Brand Holiday Decor Wrap
- VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP Ties
- stocking template
- fabric
- fur
- iron-on interfacing
- gold chain
- pom poms
- embroidery floss
- lace
- iron
- hot glue gun
- embroidery needle
- fabric scissors
- scissors
- wire cutters
Let's do this!
First create a basic stocking. Take your stocking template, and cut it out. Then fold your fabric in half so that you have two layers. Trace your template on the top layer. You can pin the pieces together if it helps. Cut out your stockings and then glue them together.
If your fabric is thin, add iron-on interfacing to stiffen your stocking. First place your iron-on interfacing on the back side of your fabric with the glossy side down. Adhere it by pressing firmly with your iron, being careful not to leave your iron in one place for too long. Once the iron-on interfacing is attached to the fabric, follow the steps above to create your stocking.
Now it's time to add embellishments to your stockings. We went with six different options.
Place the lace on top of the stocking and cut a piece to size. Use hot glue to attach it.
Polka Dot Triangles
We just love the polka-dotted VELCRO® Brand Holiday Decor Wrap! For this stocking we're using it for design purposes.
Cut out small triangles and then glue them to your stocking. Cut out a piece of fur to add to the top and glue it in place.
Time for some tassels.
Get your embroidery floss, and wrap it around two fingers. Keep going until you have a nice thick loop. Cut a piece of embroidery floss about three inches long. Wrap it around one end of the tassel and tie it in two knots. Cut through the loops at the other end of the tassel. Now make a bunch of these suckers.
To add them to your stocking, thread the tassels onto a piece of embroidery floss and then stitch it onto the stocking. We simply tied a knot on the inside of the stocking to keep it clean.
Pom Poms
Little pom pom garlands will do the trick for our next stocking addition.
All you need to do is cut your pom poms at the length you desire and glue them in place. Easy peasy.
Polka Dot Stripes
We couldn't get enough of the polka-dotted VELCRO® Brand Holiday Decor Wrap so we're doing another design using this versatile material.
Cut stripes and then glue them to your stocking. So cute!
Gold Chain
We had to add a little bit of gold bling to one of our stockings so we went with gold chain.
Measure and snip your gold chain and then glue each strand to your stocking. Done and done.
Now that you've created your stockings, it's time to add your hooks.
Grab your VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP Ties and trim them to size. Glue them to the sides of your stockings.
The gang's all here!
Now it's time to stuff these cuties.

Vol. 152, No. 165 Serving New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852 $1.00 City Council to hold public hearing on tax increase By Dylan Jimenez Staff Writer New Braunfels residents have the chance Tuesday to weigh in on the proposed property tax increase. The tax hike would be less than 6 cents — from 31.85 cents per $100 in valuation to 37.1) cents. Since property values in the city have increased, under the proposed rate the average homeowner in New Braunfels would pay 31.27 percent more in city property taxes in 2004 than paid this year. Before homestead exemptions, the bill would equate to about: ■ $18 more per year on a $30,000 home; ■ $30 more per year on a $50,000 home; ■ $45 more per year on a $75,000 home; ■ $60 more per year on a $100,000 home. The tax hike would bring in an estimated $1.1 million At a glance — ■ WHAT: Neft Braunfels City Council ■ WHEN: 6:30 p,m. Tuesday ■ WHERE: Council Chamers, Municipal Building, 424 S. Casten Ave. in revenue to the city. Council has already directed staff to spend the money on fire and police and roads. About $100,000 would go to each city district for street repair. Tuesday's public hearing will be one of two more opportunities for residents to tell council how they feel about the property tax hike. The next public hearing is set for June 2. Although only one public hearing is required, city officials opted to give residents two chances to offer comments on the tax hike. See TAX HIKE/8A NBISD plans not to raise property taxes Divers, volunteers to scour city's river bottoms By Dylan Jimenez Staff Writer There's a treasure chest of litter on the bottom of the city's rivers, and everyone is invited to share in the bounty. The first of five summer dive parties to be sponsored by the city of New Braunfels is Thursday. Divers and the general public are invited. Food and drink will be supplied to those1 willing to work to keep the Comal and Guadalupe rivers clean. Participants also could win prizes. Summer Dive Parties ■ May 29 — 4 to 7 p.m. ■ June 19 — 4 to 7 p.m. ■ July 17 —4 to 7 p.m. ■ Aug. 21 — 4 to 7 p.m. ■ Sept. 6 — 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Scuba divers and snorkelers can dive for fitter on the bottom of the rivers. Others are invited to assist the divers and help pick up trash on the banks. Divers will be provided with mesh bags and oxygen. Others will be provided with rafts they can use to collect trash. The goal: Pick up as much trash as possible from the bottom of the rivers, Assistant City Manager Don Ferguson said. Scooping out the trash on the river bottom as the summer tubing season goes on will prevent the city from getting behind with river cleanup. "We're trying to get the citizens involved during the season, as well as after season," Ferguson said. See DIVE PARTIES/8 A By Sean Bowlin Staff Writer New Braunfels Independent School District trustees are expected to hold the line on property taxes when they adopt the district's 2(X)3-04 budget Tuesday. The current school district tax rate is $1.85 per $100 valuation. The budget and tax rate hearing for NBISD begins at 6 p.m. at the Education Center at 430 W. Mill St. The 2003-04 budget that trustees will approve fists $42.4 million in revenues and $44.3 million in expenditures. Superintendent Hon Reaves asked trustees to use part of the district's $8.7 million in reserves to cover the $1.58 million shortfall. The money to be taken from reserves would be used to give teachers raises and cover shortfalls in other priorities, Heaves said. "This is a one-time option that removes the need to raise the district's Dix rate," he said. The $44.3 million in expenditures includes $35.6 million in general fund expenses, with $21.59 million to be spent on instruction.

A burn ban remains in effect throughout Comal County, and officials said Friday that dry conditions are worse than they were a week ago. Burning is prohibited in New Braunfels and Comal County, except for cooking purposes. That means holiday revelers should follow burning rules implemented by campground facilities they are using. Texas Forest Service reports indicate that most of the state has received just 50 percent of its nor mal precipitation. "It's extremely dry," Darren Bnnkkoeter, New Braunfels file marshal, said. "In fact, ifs getting worse than it was May 15 when we implemented the burn ban." The public seems to understand the dangerous conditions that exist, he said. "People do realize that it is dry, and they're not burning. They also are following the order of the burn ban," Brinkkoeter said. But acts of carelessness can spark big problems and ruin holiday celebrations, officials warned.

JESSIE SLATEN/Herakl-Zeitung Splashing into summer Season's first holiday brings thousands to the Hill Country By Dylan Jimenez Staff Writer Mike and Linda Reimer spent the better part of Saturday morning watching shuttles cart tubes and tubers from the Comal River exit on West Lincoln Street to the chutes upstream. The Reimers were trying to sell off inventory in front of Good Pickins Antique Shop on East San Antonio Street downtown. Shuttles passed the shop windows every minute or so, sometimes one right after another. "You can't get another tube on that river," Mike Reimer said. Parking lots at Schlitter-bahn and at the chutes were a good indication of how packed rivers were for the weekend. Michael Meek, president of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce Inc., spot-checked parking lots of a number of attractions on Saturday. 'I went up to Gruene, and I haven't seen Gruene that busy since last Labor Day. Theres not a parking place to be had," he said. The lots of Schfitterbahn and river outfitters were the same, he said. Meek does his parking lot tour in the summer to get a handle on how well months of advertising are paying off. This year it appears to have worked, he said. See MEMORIAL DAY/9A K. JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung A group of tubers starts down the chute at Prince Solms Park Saturday afternoon. Although the rivers were packed, police reported few major incidents. ;

Spain Announces Increase in Anchovy Quota for Bay of Biscay21 July 2014
SPAIN - The European Union has adopted a TAC (Total Allowable Catch) for anchovy of 20,100 tonnes for the Bay of Biscay for the period from July 1, 2014 till June 30, 2015.
This amount represents an increase of the total quota by 3,000 tons (18 per cent) from the previous quota.
The increased fishing opportunities is due in large part to the degree of responsibility shown by the Spanish fishing sector and the efficient control of the consumption of the quota made by the General Secretariat of Fisheries.

Beautiful Ireland
... real charmer, and he and Kaye got on famously. Originally a geography teacher but now a professional photographer, he was able to give Kaye some really good advice on using her camera more efficiently. We drove to his house, a lovely big place on the hill behind the village to drop our bags, then went for a drive in the beautiful evening light around Horn Head, a rugged headland opposite the Dunfanaghy inlet. We drove in Trevor's landrover, an interesting experience ...

The walk was beautiful as the mist burned off and more and more blue showed through. We came to a sea wall and walked out to have a look and were surprised to see ...

Getting There

The scenery is mostly flat and agricultural, apart from a crossing of the Sperrin Mountains, during which I pass a building claiming to be Ireland's highest pub. But the Sperrins are contenders for the title of the world's most boring mountains - by comparison the Southern Uplands in Scotland are extremely jagged!
When I get to Londonderry, the signposting for the next destination, Letterkenny, is hopeless and I end up driving through the city centre ...
An Extra Short Day
... I don't even think I left the house...it's a big blur.
I'm sorry this is a horrible entry. I promise the other ones are better!
So that's all I guess...I turned in my history paper early with about 3.5 pages and I hope I did good!
Thanks for reading...please actually keep reading other entries.
Really, please <3
I'm truly not this boring I promise.

Fun - Fitness - Friendship
Welcome to the Walkabout Flintshire Website
The group has been re-formed and is now self financing thanks to a grant from Flintshire County Council. We have a new constitution and an organising committee but we are still dedicated to providing free led walks in Flintshire (and beyond).
We will be maintaining our links to Troedio Clwyd Walks who will concentrate on walks in Denbighshre. We will be providing links from this website, to their walk programme, once it has been finalised.
We are in the process of updating our own programme but in the meantime, the programme shown on our "Walks - Regular" tab are still valid.
You will find copies of our constitution and minutes of the open meeting via the links at the bottom of this page.
Our aim is to improve the physical, mental and social well-being of walkers by providing a safe and friendly way to enjoy the countryside. All the walks are free and led by trained volunteers.
This website lists the weekly and monthly walks plus downloadable walks aimed at families - see Mini Mountain Challenges.
There are currently about 22 weekly walks and between 8-15 extra walks every month in Flintshire with many walks suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. There are many beautiful country parks, beauty spots and historical areas in Flintshire that make walking more enjoyable.
Regular walks have been taking place in Flintshire since 2003 under the name of Walkabout Flintshire.
We hope you enjoy visiting this website!

Baotou Steel Plans $4.9 Billion Share Issue to Buy Assets
Inner Mongolian Baotou Steel Union Co. (600010), a Chinese steelmaker, will raise as much as 29.8 billion yuan ($4.9 billion) in a private share placement to buy assets from its parent and replenish working capital. The stock jumped.
The board approved a plan to sell as many as 8.26 billion shares in Shanghai at 3.61 yuan apiece, the Baotou, Inner Mongolia-based company said today in a statement. That compares to the 3.92 yuan the stock last traded at on Oct. 31.
The shares will be issued to seven investors, including state-owned Baogang Group, the company's parent, Baotou Steel said. Guohua Life Insurance Co. and Huaan Asset Management (Hong Kong) Ltd. will also buy shares in the placement, it said.
China said last month it will actively develop diversified ownership of state-owned companies. Pension funds, insurance funds and private equity funds are encouraged to invest in state-owned entities, according to a statement this month from the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
Baotou Steel advanced 10 percent, the daily limit, to 4.31 yuan in Shanghai trading, giving it a market value of 34.5 billion yuan. The shares were halted from trading last month.
Baogang, also known as Baotou Iron and Steel Group Co., controls 51 percent of Baotou Steel, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The assets acquired from the parent will reduce connected transactions and improve its self-sufficiency in raw materials, Baotou Steel said today in a separate statement.
