How long is an average Grinding Session?
I play microstakes ,and generally 2 tables,sometimes 3 ,i usually play for a couple of hours a day ,be it a ring game or maybe an SnG or an MTT ,depends on mood and availabilty, but on a 9 man ring game ill play 150-200 hands a session ,
How much do you play ? How long is a session and whats the optimal time for a grinding session?
Am i playing enough hands in a session ?
Any thought on this subject would be interesting to read ....also the advice off any advanced players would be great for myself and any other learners out there reading this
That is a very player specific thing. Playing three tables I can keep a maximum focus for up to two hours on average. Everything below 100% is a good reason to leave and realizing when that time has come can save you quiet a few BIs. There are others multitabling for much longer without a decrease in focus. It is also a matter of getting more experienced and building an arsenal of automated scripts for various standard situations in your head that don't demand as much attention as unfamiliar decision processes do when you start out.
Are you guys saying 2 hour sessions with breaks in between? Or 2 hour daily total? I guess for the most part it is up to the person like you said (if you can maintain focus, etc.). I was just curious what you specifically meant in general (if the daily schedule permits, such as a weekend day).
Really? Just 1.5-2 hours? Personally used to play like 5-6 hours every day *at least*. And with play money, so it doesn't really "count." Granted, I was living at home with the parents and didn't have many friends, but still. 2 seems kind of low for an average
As everyone else said, it is player specific. The more hands you play the better, if your focused on improving your game.
If your game falls off you can work on it to achieve longer session's in focus. It is a lot like working out. Push yourself to play ~15 minutes more each time and you will adjust. The best thing you can do is recognize when your becoming impatient and adjust. Whether that is taking a break or telling yourself to be patient. I used to switch tables. My grind sessions are usually 6-8 hours.
re: Poker & How long is an average Grinding Session?
2 hours is a good session length, probably the optimum for me.
I do play longer up to 4 hours sometimes but can find concentration waning towards the end, especially in cash games, mtts are OK because the decisions are easier.

"Dierdre K. Scozzafava's decision to suspend her campaign for the 23rd Congressional District seat is a shocking development in what had already been an extraordinary race. In her statement Saturday morning, the assemblywoman explained the reasons behind her decision: "It is increasingly clear that pressure is mounting on many of my supporters to shift their support. Consequently, I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so." During the day Saturday, she began to quietly and thoughtfully encourage her supporters to vote for Democrat William L. Owens. Ms. Scozzafava finished a distant third in the latest Siena Research Institute poll with 20 percent support of likely voters. Her opponents, Mr. Owens and Conservative Douglas L. Hoffman, garnered 36 percent and 35 percent respectively."Seems Ms. Scozzafava's true colors have come to light and prove why she was sinking in the polls. What true Republican under any circumstances would support a Democrat in such a race explains itself. That is if the rumor is true. That's because the campaign - or what's left of it - is already sending out denials of the rumor.
Wouldn't surprise us though, she always been a mole, and the GOP should work to pull every bit of funding for any future campaign she might run.
Let her be anathma to the party and have her join Specter and other RINOS and go and join the Dems for real. Too bad though that her "encouragement" does little to change the coming victory for Hoffman.
It's the weekend and no polling has yet reflected Scozzafava's exit, come Monday I look for a surge for Hoffman.

My internet modem went bad. they sent me a new modem with the wrong name but the correct address. spent over 3 hours trying to get new modem to work with their tech services. NO LUCK.
they sent a second new modem that worked after spending another hour with tech services.
They refuse to send me a return label to the correct name and address. I have called numerous times to correct this and get a return label mailed to me. Instead they are billing my debit accout twice a month for no reason and also charging me for a modem on my phone bill.
Today I oce again tried to contact them by phone and waited 43 minutes but got no answer. I sent two (2) emailks that were returned to me with no answer back in January of this year in response to their email.

I've always had issues with overdraft fees. If you have too, then check out the following article I came across on CNN money. I wonder what this means for the future of banking. Any thoughts?
WASHINGTON (CNNMoney) — A controversial new government agency has its sight set on a consumer bugaboo: checking overdraft fees.
The defacto chief of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Raj Date, said in a speech in Philadelphia last week that the bureau is going to start looking at overdraft programs with an eye toward clarifying the cost of free checking accounts
"With these free checking accounts, much of the costs to the consumer were buried in overdraft fees," said Date, special adviser to the Treasury Secretary on the consumer bureau. "Going forward, the bureau will carefully assess how we can best ensure that the overall market for short-term credit is fair, transparent, and competitive."
Date — who is administering the consumer bureau as it awaits the confirmation of its first director — said that one of the consumer bureau's first big decisions could be setting guidelines for banks to make sure consumers know what they're doing when they rack up overdraft fees.
In 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. released a report into banking overdraft programs, revealing some little-known practices. The report found that 75% of banks automatically enrolled consumers in overdraft protection, often without their knowledge, and the median overdraft fee had been $27.
The report also unearthed that more than 93% of all overdraft fees came from a pool of consumers who overdrew their checking accounts at least five times or more per year, racking up an average of $215 in fees a year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Issue No: 165
Ettu Nomb (8 Days Lent) Special - Day 5
1. Inspiration for Today: Mary, The Dwelling Place of God
2. Featured: Saint Mary, Mother of God
The holy Church from the early time of its inception held that St Mary is unquestionably, Ever-Virgin, Most chase, Undefiled, Mother of God. We suitably adore her with enumerable adjectives and yet it is not enough when considering her unparalleled part in the Redemptive plan. ...
3. The God of Second Chances - The Prodigal Son
Perhaps one of the most memorable and heart touching stories of grace and forgiveness is recorded in Luke chapter fifteen. It's what we've come to know as the story of the Prodigal Son. This young man demanded his inheritance while his father was still alive, spent it all on riotous living, and found himself dirty, destitute, and despairing. As despicable as pigs were to Jews, this young man took a job taking care of pigs and eating their food just to stay alive. But then he had an epiphany. He came to his senses. ...
4. Kindness - The Good Samaritan
The parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 is a wonderful example of godly kindness. It also demonstrates that kindness often requires something of us - time, plans, privacy, and desires. The Good Samaritan interrupted his travel plans to help a stranger. What better example to follow than that of Christ? He gave us the ultimate gift of kindness - He died that we might live. ...
5. The Living Stone
As one of the many little living stones in the church, remember that each diverse stone has great worth to Jesus and to his body. When you're tempted to ignore your need for others or to discount those who aren't like you, remember that each stone is balanced by all those around it, and all rest on the living Stone himself. ...
6. Has God Forgotten Me?
Don't be discouraged because God seems slow in his work... you have a sure and faithful word to rely upon. Promises, though they be for a time seemingly delayed, cannot be frustrated. Don't harbor such a thought within yourselves. The being of God may as well fail as the promise of God. That which does not come in your time, will come in his time, which is always the more convenient season. ...

|Fresh Breezes and Fresh Ideas Flow at AMHCA's Annual Conference in San Francisco

Fresh Breezes and Fresh Ideas Flow at AMHCA's Annual Conference in San Francisco
Frugality was my mantra when I registered for the recent AMHCA Annual Conference in San Francisco. My financially cautious inner voice said, "Only register for the conference, not the pre-workshops and extra events." Boy, did I end up paying a stiff price when I discovered what I had missed.
Take Time to Enjoy the Conference City
Living just a beautiful 45-minute ferry ride away from San Francisco, but only infrequently taking the time to "play," I was excited to join friends in "The City by the Bay" for the AMHCA Annual Conference. I had never been to Alcatraz Island, site of the infamous prison, so I eagerly planned a day before the conference to see the sights.
The Reason for These Adventures—the AMHCA Conference
I'm pleased to report that I did splurge on the Leadership closing event, a trolley tour and dinner on the Bay. We saw local "flavor" as only San Francisco can serve it up, as well as national architectural treasures and local history sites.
New Note to Self: look more closely at my overall continuing education plan (yes, you should have one) to see what conference offerings fit into the plan.
Since the conference presentation topics ranged from inspirational to pragmatic, attendees could follow their own interests when creating their conference schedule—not an easy task. So I ask, is "Self-Directed Neuroplasticity" pragmatic, inspirational, or both? The tracks identified in the program this year were helpful. Each workshop was coded as one of nine tracks—Assessment, Clinical Approaches, Children & Adolescents, Creative Therapies, Current Trends, Education & Supervision, Ethics, Multicultural, and last but not least, Self-Care, which I don't believe clinical mental health counselors do enough of.
Candy, Pens, and Stress Balls = Exhibitors Support AMHCA
Then there were the exhibitors. On my first pass through the exhibitor center, I picked up several pens, a new insulated lunch bag, a globe-of-the-world stress ball, and my favorites—a See's Candy sucker and a pedometer to walk off the calories. Later, guilt and the search for morning coffee and bagels took me back to the exhibitor center where I discovered new resources (besides the candy) for my clients and myself. More exhibitors and sponsors than ever supported AMHCA this year.

Keyshia Cole's Sister Neffe Pugh OPENS UP About Cole Being SHADY & Why The Beef! + Keyshia's New Steve Madden Shoe Line!
Keyshia Cole's sister Neffe Pugh is allegedly calling her sister shady for not inviting her entire family to her and hubby Daniel Gibbs' Las Vegas wedding. And she's opening up about their past feud and why she wasn't a part of "Keyshia & Daniel: Family First," show.
According to RollingOut, Neffe had this to say,
"The straw that broke the camel's back was that she did not like the fact that me and Mom did the 'Frankie & Neffe Show' with Manny Hailey without involving her," Pugh said in an interview with Bossip. "From what I've gathered, she felt we shouldn't have trusted him. We should have trusted her judgment."
"Everybody in the world knows it's been off and on with myself and Keyshia," she added. "Don't get me wrong, I love my sister and she loves me. Somewhere down the line we went our separate ways, but while I've been focused on trying to rebuild our relationship, she's been busy rebuilding her career and been focused on her family, and when I say her family I mean Daniel and my nephew.With Cole's new reality show debuting on BET last week with most of her family being on the show, many fans couldn't help but noticed the obvious absence of her sister, whom Cole has had a public feud with for years.
"I didn't go to the wedding because I wasn't properly invited. I'm just being honest. I love my sister, I love my mom, I love my family — but I was not properly invited to the wedding," said Pugh. "I wasn't invited to the actual wedding ceremony in Vegas.
I was invited to the wedding/taping in Hawaii and I felt like if I wasn't invited to the first one, why should I go to a ceremony that you're taping in Hawaii? I got a phone call two days before the wedding and only myself and my two daughters were invited. My husband and my five children were not invited … That was craziness to me."
"I don't know what it is between myself and Keyshia. We just can't agree to disagree, that's what I believe. I love my sister, there's no sibling rivalry. Somewhere down the line we'll figure it out," she said.While we're waiting for the duo to reunite, and drop the old beef-- the R&B songstress is gearing up to drop her new Steve Madden shoe line according to our friends at theYBF. Check out a few of the design's below:
"I've been talking about this Steven Madden deal for about four years now. I wanted to do a deal with Steven Madden because, when I didn't have any money and before I got my deal, I use to buy Steve Madden shoes. So I just want to make sure that I do really cute shoes that my demographic can afford. [The shoes will debut in] November. I've already made all three and they will be featured in my videos and in the album packaging."image credits: YBF/Twitter/FreddyO

Belshazzar's feast
Belshazzar's feast, or the story of the writing on the wall (chapter 5 in the Book of Daniel) tells how Belshazzar holds a great feast and drinks from the vessels that had been looted in the destruction of the First Temple. A hand appears and writes on the wall. The terrified Belshazzar calls for his wise men, but they are unable to read the writing. The queen advises him to send for Daniel, renowned for his wisdom. Daniel reminds Belshazzar that his father Nebuchadnezzar, when he became arrogant, was thrown down until he learned that God has sovereignty over the kingdom of men. Belshazzar had likewise blasphemed God, and so God sent this hand. Daniel then reads the message and interprets it: God has numbered Belshazzar's days, he has been weighed and found wanting, and his kingdom will be given to the Medes and the Persians.
That very night Belshazzar the Chaldean (Babylonian) king was killed, and Darius the Mede received the kingdom.— Daniel 5:30–31[1]
The message of Daniel 5 is the contrast it offers between Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar:
- Nebuchadnezzar is humbled by God, learns his lesson (he acknowledges the ultimate kingship of the Jewish God), and is restored to his throne;
- Belshazzar, in contrast, learns nothing from Nebuchadnezzar's example, blasphemes against God, and has his kingdom given to others.[2]
Narrative summary[edit]
From C. L. Seow's commentary on Daniel[1].
King Belshazzar holds a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and commands that the Temple vessels from Jerusalem be brought in so that they can drink from them, but as the Babylonians drink, a hand appears and writes on the wall. Belshazzar calls for his magicians and diviners to interpret the writing, but they are unable even to read them. The queen advises Belshazzar to send for Daniel, renowned for his wisdom. Daniel is brought in, and the king offers to make him third in rank in the kingdom if he can interpret the writing. Daniel declines the honour, but agrees to the request. He reminds Belshazzar that Nebuchadnezzar's greatness was the gift of God, and that when he became arrogant God threw him down until he learned humility: "the Most High God has sovereignty over the kingdom of mortals, and sets over it whomever He will." Belshazzar has drunk from the vessels of God's Temple and praised his idols, but he has not given honour to God, and so God sent this hand and wrote these words:
מנא מנא תקל ופרסין
Daniel reads the words MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN and interprets them for the king: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed and found wanting; and PERES, the kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians. "Then Belshazzar gave the command, and Daniel was clothed in purple, a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was made… that he should rank third in the kingdom; [and] that very night Belshazzar the Chaldean (Babylonian) king was killed, and Darius the Mede received the kingdom."
The writing on the wall[edit]
For reasons which are not explained in the tale the Chaldean wise men are unable to read the writing on the wall, let alone interpret it. As Aramaic was written with consonants alone, they may have lacked any context in which to make sense of them. Daniel supplies vowels in two different ways, first reading the letters as nouns, then interpreting them as verbs.[3]
The words Daniel reads are monetary weights: a mənê, equivalent to a Jewish mina or sixty shekels (several ancient versions have only one mənê instead of two), a təqêl, equivalent to a shekel, and p̄arsîn, meaning "half-pieces". The last involves a word-play on the name of the Persians (Hebrew: פָּרָס pārās), suggesting not only that they are to inherit Belshazzar's kingdom, but that they are two peoples, Medes and Persians.[4]
Having read the words as nouns Daniel then interprets them as verbs, based on their roots: mənê is interpreted as meaning "numbered", təqêl, from a root meaning to weigh, as meaning "weighed" (and found wanting), and pərês (פְּרַס), the singular form of dual p̄arsîn, from a root meaning to divide, as meaning the kingdom is to be "divided" and given to the Medes and Persians. A curious point is that the various weights — a mənê or sixty shekels, another shekel, and two half-shekels — add up to 62, which is noted in the last verse as the age of Darius the Mede.[5]
Composition and structure[edit]
It is generally accepted that the Book of Daniel originated as a collection of folktales among the Jewish community in Babylon in the Persian and early Hellenistic periods (5th to 3rd centuries BC), and was later expanded in the Maccabean era (mid-2nd century) with the visions of chapters 7–12.[6] Modern scholarship agrees that Daniel is a legendary figure,[7] and it is possible that his name was chosen for the hero of the book because of his reputation as a wise seer in Hebrew tradition.[8]
Chapters 2–7 of the book form a chiasm (a poetic structure in which the main point or message of a passage is placed in the centre and framed by further repetitions on either side):[9]
- A. (chapter 2) – A dream of four kingdoms replaced by a fifth
- B. (chapter 3) – Daniel's three friends in the fiery furnace
- C. (chapter 4) – Daniel interprets a dream for Nebuchadnezzar
- C'. (chapter 5) – Daniel interprets the handwriting on the wall for Belshazzar
- B'. (chapter 6) – Daniel in the lions' den
- B. (chapter 3) – Daniel's three friends in the fiery furnace
- A'. (chapter 7) – A vision of four world kingdoms replaced by a fifth
Daniel 5 is thus composed as a companion-piece to Daniel 4, the tale of the madness of Nebuchadnezzar, the two giving variations on a single theme. This is spelled out in chapter 5 when Daniel draws a direct parallel between the two kings: the fate of Belshazzar illustrates what happens when a king does not repent.[10]
Daniel 5 does not divide neatly into scenes and scholars do not agree on its structure. The following is one possible outline:[11]
- The king's banquet and the mysterious oracle: the king desecrates the sacred vessels, the hand writes on the wall (verses 1–6)
- Attempts to interpret the oracle: the Chaldean sages fail, the queen recommends Daniel (verses 7–12)
- Daniel appears before Belshazzar: Daniel addresses and rebukes the king, interprets the oracle, and is rewarded (verses 10–12)
- Conclusion: Belshazzar's death, Darius' accession (verses 30–31)
Historical background[edit]
The story is set around the fall of Babylon, when on 12 October 539 BC the Persian conqueror Cyrus the Great entered the city. Its last king, Nabonidus, was captured, and his fate is unknown, although he may have been exiled.[12] Several details in the text do not match the known historical facts.[13] Belshazzar is portrayed as king of Babylon and son of Nebuchadnezzar, but was actually the son of King Nabonidus, one of Nebuchadnezzar's successors, and never became king.[13] The conqueror is named as Darius the Mede, but no such individual is known to history; and the invaders were not Medes, but Persians.[13] This is typical of the story's genre, in which historical accuracy is not an essential element.[14]
The constituent elements of the Book of Daniel were assembled shortly after the end of the Maccabean crisis, which is to say shortly after 164 BC.[15] The tales making up chapters 2 to 6 are the earliest part, dating from the late 4th or early 3rd centuries. Their setting is Babylon, and there is no reason to doubt that they were composed in the Babylonian diaspora (i.e., among the Jewish community living in Babylon and Mesopotamia under Persian and then Greek rule). They reflect a society in which foreign rulers were not necessarily malevolent (Belshazzar rewards Daniel and raises him to high office); this is a marked contrast with the visions of chapters 7–12, where the sufferings of the Jews are the result of actions by the evil 2nd century king Antiochus IV.[16]
Belshazzar's feast is a legend, conforming to the subgenre of the "tale of court contest". This has been complicated by the inclusion of Daniel's indictment of Belshazzar's pride and his failure to honour the God of Israel; as a result the tale has a double ending, in which Daniel is first showered with rewards and honours for interpreting the omen, and the king is then punished to fulfill the sentence pronounced by Daniel.[17]
Chapters 2 and 7 tell how all worldly kingdoms will come to an end and be replaced by the kingdom of God, and chapters 3 and 6 tell how pious Jews withstand the arrogance of earthly kings and are rescued by the God of Israel. Chapters 4 and 5 form the centre and carry the most important message in their parallel but contrasting tales of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar. The first is humbled by God, learns his lesson (he acknowledges the ultimate kingship of the Jewish God), and is restored to his throne; Belshazzar, in contrast, learns nothing from Nebuchadnezzar's example, blasphemes against God, and has his kingdom given to others.[2]

- In John Cheever's short story "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin," the narrator encounters graffiti (one example running several pages) in various public washrooms.
- In Robert Louis Stevenson's book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Jekyll explains that his experience as Mr. Hyde was "like the Babylonian finger on the wall, to be spelling out the letters of my judgment".
- In the musical revue Pins and Needles, a song entitled "Mene, Mene, Tekel" uses the tale as allegory describing contemporary social injustices.
- In Samuel Beckett's Endgame, Hamm asks of Clov, "and what do you see on your wall? Mene, mene? Naked bodies?"
- In Voltairine de Cleyre's last poem, "Written in Red", the first verse begins:
Written in red their protest stands,
For the Gods of the World to see;
On the dooming wall their bodiless hands
Have blazoned "Upharsin," and flaring brands
Illumine the message: "Seize the lands!
Open the prisons and make men free!"
Flame out the living words of the dead
- In Jose Rizal's second novel El Filibusterismo, Crisostomo Ibarra, disguised as Simoun, planted an explosive disguised as a kerosene lamp in a reception party in Captain Tiago's house in an attempt to kill all high-ranking officials of the society and the church attending. He also leaves a note behind, "Mene, Thecel, Pares", plus his name in his own handwriting.
- In the novel City of Ashes, part of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, Clary uses her stele to write a rune on Valentine's boat. Although the rune simply means "Open", Clary's extraordinary powers amplify it so as to destroy the ship by ripping apart its bolts. Valentine looks on in awed horror and says, "mene mene tekel upharsin", because he realizes that Clary's powers represent a massive change in the order of things, which will lead to the Clave's, or his own, doom.
- In Philip K. Dick's novel A Maze of Death, Seth and Mary Morley lived in "Tekel Upharsin Kibbutz" before moving to Delmak-O.

- The song "Kodachrome", also by Paul Simon, includes the lyric "my lack of education hasn't hurt me none / I can read the writing on the wall."
- In Chapter 119 (The Candles) of Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, Ishmael ominously describes the appearance of St. Elmo's Fire ("The corpusants!") on their whaling ship, the Pequod, when he writes, "when God's burning finger has been laid on the ship, when His 'Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin' has been woven into the shrouds and the cordage."
- In Defrage's song "Save Us from Religion", the first song on their album Jackal, "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin" is sung at 3:01.
- In Andrei Tarkovsky's film Stalker, the Writer says "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin" while talking to the Professor (around 01:14:00, or in TV version - 2 episode, around 00:11:00).
- The song "The Last Ship" by Sting hyperbolically narrates the pilgrimage to Newcastle carried out most notably by the risen Jesus of Nazareth, and other guests haunted by the significance of the last ship sailing from Newcastle's morbid shipbuilding industry, understanding the occasion as though it were "that strange moving finger at Balthazar's feast".
- In the episode "Season's Beatings", from season 7 of American Dad!, Steve becomes an Apostate of Satan and repeats the phrases, "Satana, Satana", and "Mene, Mene, Tekel," throughout the duration of his apostasy.

You have 5 points above NONE of which are supported by anything more than "maz is wrong". You simply are disagreeing with me out of ignorance based on your most humble opinion. No links to suportive research to challenge a word I say means you loose by default again.<quoted text>
1. I don't know about you but I walk on two legs.
2. I don't see anything about the "Gona Pelvis" that turns Evolution upside down.
3. I STILL don't know if "woffley" or whatever is a real word!
4. Lucy does show a link between humans and our common ancestors by virtue of the fact that she did walk bipedaly.
5. Ardipithicus did not POOF into having modern human feet. 700,000 years is a really long time. Homo Heidelbergensis was still the new kid on the block 700,000 years ago. Besides, those kinds of physiological changes can happen quickly as long as the motivational factors are there. For now, it's thought that Africa was going through some dramatic climate changes that reduced the forestland, compelling the species to adapt to life on the plains.
Everyone on this board has already dismissed incredulity as an argument. The evidence is what the evidence is.
You lot absolutley have no idea how to support yourselves and you continue to provide proof of that claim.
Here and again, is what support looks like. You keep saying I am wrong but only offer some woffly opinion that could have originated in a comic strip for all I know.
An important finding in this study is that asymptomatic flat-footedness did not characterize the species Au. afarensis, and instead may just describe the foot of one specific female, Lucy. Two other distal tibiae from Hadar, Ethiopia, A.L. 333-6 and A.L. 333-7 (Figure 6), have distinctly human-like anteriorly directed sets to the distal tibia, implying the presence of rearfoot arching. These two individuals are more like the makers of the 3.6 Myr-old Laetoli footprints, argued to have been made by hominins possessing a well-developed longitudinal arch [11] but see [14].
As in humans today, Australopithecus exhibited variation in foot morphology and arch development. Despite having only preserved the talus and two phalanges, we suggest that it is the distal tibia that provides evidence for foot structure in the Lucy skeleton. Our findings suggest that this female Au. afarensis possessed an asymptomatic physiologic flatfoot, though two other tibiae from Hadar, Ethiopia suggest the presence of a rearfoot arch in this species. Whether flat-footedness was more common in early hominins will require additional fossil material, and identification of additional skeletal correlates of the longitudinal arch.
Above is a link to published research that again suggest these researchers are grappling in the dark.
All the woffle above suggests that Lucy is not the maker of the Laetolli footprints and some other ape was. Just look at all the convolutions and conundrums these have had to consider and they all have to consider when speculating. All the woffle above and not one bit of it is actually speaking to any fossil toes. It is based on a couple of sets of footprints and Ardis toes and maybe one metatarsel.
700,000 years is not a long time at all from some ape like a gorilla in Ardi to morph into the human like sketches of Lucy offered to the public today with her human feet and overtly human hairless form? All based on 40% non colocated fossil pieces that were never found with feet.

The actress said that playing the character of an unstable CIA agent could be
tiring at times.
She said: "The pitch she's on is so high, and to maintain that hyper-vigilance
is exhausting.
"But it's fun. I like her – she's smarter than I am and definitely more
bad-ass than I am. It's fun to wear her cape."
Danes also revealed that she wasn't sure that she could maintain Carrie's
"intensity" for more than one season.
She said: "I wasn't sure about sustaining that… for possibly seven years.
"But, ultimately, I had not encountered a character that was so dynamic and
specific for a very long time."
Homeland chief Howard Gordon recently revealed that in the second season:
"Carrie will not be in the intelligence service and the world will be at a
boiling point."
Channel 4 will air the next series of the show in late 2012.

Living with the MSM is really getting old.
You, know it like I said before, if you had to be with someone who is constantly bitching and moaning about this and that, and sharing only the negative points and never has anything positive to say, you get a little sick and tired of hanging around them.
Nothing has brought this more to bear than in the last weeks since Katrina and now Rita. Between the hurricanes, the MSM and the Democratic response, I can't tell what has devastated us more.
For the MSM, I think they are shown only that they can no longer just report the news, they have gone completely over to simply creating it.
Whether it's Tim Russert "in the moment" with a democratic hack in Louisiana shedding Alligator tears, reading DNC talking points to generate fear and hate, or to predictions of massive body counts and dooms day scenarios, which never materialized. They have made themselves even further irrelevant as a source of real and accurate information.
Their political bias - if in doubt before 2004, is now widely known. But
President Bush was criticized for being on vacation before Katrina, and then being asked if "he was in the way" before Rita.
Can you imagine that? That's the where the MSM is at today. Asking the President of the United States IN the way in preparation for a national disaster. Pretty comical, if not downright pathetic.
One would ask in all these disasters whether the MSM has been in the way of us getting the facts, by them providing objective reporting, and yes, NEWS. Real news - not some prissy editorial by plastic haired prima-donas doing their best Dan Rather impersonations, but NEWS - just what is going on.
Sadly, that's gone for good.
Gone are the days of simply reporting the news - you know, just the facts. The hard line reporter "getting the story" is long gone. Instead today you have "news readers" - pretty faces that "speak words that scroll from a prompter" written by an editor, along with the input of psychology/socialogy consutants that help them "shape the words" so as to get the greatest "emotional effect".
Rita now has come and gone. The MSM is talking about how Houston and Galveston "dodged a bullet". But wait. In a matter of days they will criticizing local officials for ordering mass evacuations when it turned out it wasn't necessary. The beat goes on.
For me, for future storms, I"m turning on the Weather Channel.

January 29th, 2013 - Fleeting InkMature
Black pages dare me to create.
They want to be despoiled and marked,
ruined by ink in my changing scrawl.
They want words -- and never mind
that I have none to offer.
They will take any, drinking the ink
like my very heart's blood.
I give all I am to words.
Sometimes I feel words take all
from me, all that I am and --
no. Not all that I could be.
Words are longer lasting than breath,
but they are fleeting enough,
as are the memories they hold.
My words will pass and so will theirs.
Theirs will pass.
Their words will pass and I will wonder
why ever they bothered me so,
why I wrote an angry poem,
masked behind false optimism
and observations of creativity
that is fuelled by abstract yearning
just to make
so strong that perhaps it does not matter
Their words will pass and I
will be stronger and wise and,
just perhaps, a little clearer on
what exactly it is that I believe.
For you see, faith is not what I
am willing to follow
but what I am willing to lose friends
to defend.
My support is not given lightly,
and when I have pinned my colours
to the mast, they will fly boldly
and I will not let myself
feel regret.

The Financial Services Authority has also asked some retailers to justify the wording of statements made ahead of Christmas trading announcements.
The news comes after shareholders attacked WH Smith for taking 18 days to confirm a Financial Mail report that revealed its profits would be 'materially' below expectations after distribution problems left many shelves empty.
This is likely to be one of the issues raised at this week's annual meeting, when WH Smith also faces a shareholder revolt over the £2.6 million 'golden hello' given to new chief executive Kate Swann and the £330,000 pay-off for Beverley Hodson, who was sacked as retail director earlier this month.
One City banker said: 'I know of one case where a company was asked to justify two words in a trading statement. It was able to do so, but it is a sign that the FSA is toughening its act.'
The regulator focused its attention on the High Street after anecdotal evidence last autumn suggested dismal Christmas trading. That prompted analysts to predict that the January sales would start early.
It is believed that the FSA is reviewing statements made by retailers during this period to make sure that they did not mislead shareholders on trading prospects.
The regulator reminded football clubs last year of their duties towards investors after a flurry of transfer deals were revealed in the sports pages, rather than announced to the Stock Exchange. Fans of Barcelona, for example, learned that the Catalan football club was in talks to buy David Beckham before the shareholders of his club, publicly quoted Manchester United.
A spokesman for the FSA said: 'We are reminding retailers of the listing rules as part of our pro-active approach towards regulation.'
The regulator has reminded retailers that listing rules require them to tell the Stock Exchange of any changes in performance or expectations as soon as they become apparent.
'We have told retailers that shareholders should be informed sooner rather than later,' the spokesman added.Reuse content

"The apartment was beautifully presented and very comfortable. We appreciated sharp knives in the kitchen - a vegetable peeler and heavier based frypan would be our only recommendation. The apartment was very well stocked with surplies for washing etc and champagne in the refrigerator. The area is very busy with many tourists but easy to walk everywhere and two beautiful Gaudi houses in the next street. On our last day we found a great neighborhood a bit further out that we liked better. We had a mix up ordering a taxi through the apartment manager on the final morning as we missed a second text wanting to know how many people so it wasn't ordered but there is a taxi rank a block down Rambla Catalunya towards Placa Catalunya which saved us so no flights were missed. Taxis need to know the number of bags as there are different types."
"Great location!"
"Fine spacious apartment, which is very attractively decorated. Good location on rambla da catalunya. Also a plus is the bakery just around the corner which is always open and delicious products."
"Prima ruim appartement , welke zeer sfeervol is ingericht. Lekker centraal aan de rambla da catalunya. Zeker ook een plus is het bakkerij direct om de hoek welke altijd open is en heerlijke producten heeft."
"The apartment, which was really smart, was situated in a great location. With a good view from the balcony. Would recommend as great value."
"A great apartment in prime location and super facilities. Two terraces and Wi-Fi access is also available, but is not in the browser. We have felt very much at home. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Many beautiful tapas bars and shops nearby. We can highly recommend the apartment. "
"Ein tolles Apartment in bester Lage und einer super Ausstattung. Zwei Terrassen und Wlan ist auch vorhanden, steht jedoch nicht in der Übersicht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Viele schöne Tapas Bars und Einkaufsgeschäfte in der Nähe. Wir können das Apartment sehr empfehlen. "
"Irene, the apartment manager, met us promptly for check-in and then was such an asset! She answered all questions professionally and showed us around~the rooms were great, kitchen, laundry, a spacious apartment and the balcony the best! including a view of Casa Batllo rooftop. Irene also offered suggestions via email when we inquired (one of which was a restaurant which was a favorite for all of us!) & arranging for car service to the airport when requested for 2 early departees (the rest of us walked one block later in the day to a taxi stand, so convenient! The restaurants for tapas around the corner were delicious..and the 24hr patisserie on the block could not be better! Stores along Rambla de Catalunya and the parallel Passeig de Gracia were fabulous! The location was great being away from the tourist-busy Rambla but so easily accessible to there and everywhere else we wanted to go! "

Report: Brett Brown accuses longtime friend of defrauding him of $750,000
Report: Brett Brown accuses longtime friend of defrauding him of $750,000
Sixers head coach Brett Brown is in Australia this week, where he has accused longtime friend and former Australian men's national team assistant coach Shane Heal of defrauding him of $750,000, according to the Australian Associated Press.
Brown invested $250,000 into each of three companies for which Heal was the sole director. Brown wasn't given a legal title regarding the companies and didn't know the specifics of how the money would be used.
"I assumed that the money was going to be used for what Shane told me it was going to be used for," Brown said. "Because it was a friend that I had for 25 years."
Heal was charged last year by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission following an investigation relating to alleged misconduct in 2008, 2009 and 2010, according to the AAP.
The sides return to court in Brisbane on July 20.
Heal played in the NBA for the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1996-97 and was with the San Antonio Spurs in 2003.

Martin laughs off criticism of "Pink Panther 2"
By Dave Graham
BERLIN (Reuters) - Actor Steve Martin on Friday dismissed poor reviews of the latest Pink Panther movie saying critics are always snobs when it comes to comedy.
"I have received bad reviews my whole life," Martin said as he presented "Pink Panther 2" at the Berlin film festival, his second turn as bungling French detective Inspector Jacques Clouseau, a role made famous by Peter Sellers.
"I received bad reviews when I started with my stand-up act. 'The Jerk', one of my most enduring comedy films, was universally panned in America. And comedies always have to overcome critical snobbery," said Martin, 63.
"It's just the way it is. And so you go, oh, well, okay, why are these movies that you've criticized so archly still around 10 years later, 15 years later, 20 years later. It's because comedy is not a critics' medium. It just isn't."
The film took a mere $12 million at its opening weekend in the United States -- down 40 percent on Martin's first outing as Clouseau in 2006.
The Washington Post said "Pink Panther 2" was "clawless" and Martin "clueless" as Clouseau. In Britain, The Times described the movie as "a tedious string of pratfalls."
Martin was asked in Berlin how he felt the Pope would respond to a scene in which Clouseau impersonates the Pontiff. Continued...
