Sarge's Furry Friends Benefit Bash
|Arts & Entertainment
|Laurel Ridge Country Club
|Waynesville, NC
|Oct 06, 2016
Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation's eighth annual Furry Friends Benefit Bash will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, at the Laurel Ridge Country Club in Waynesville. It's an evening of fun, food, music and lively live and silent auctions.
"Laurel Ridge Country Club is a beautiful setting for the event," said Sarge's board president Gary Smith. "Come join Sarge's for an evening of fun celebrating the animals we love. Sarge's has received great community support for its pet adoptions, but there is still much work to be done to save homeless dogs and cats in Haywood County."
Before the dinner, guests may enjoy bidding on silent auction items, including many dining, golf and spa packages, as well as unique items for people and their pets.
The live auction will include an overnight package at Harrah's Cherokee Casino and Resort, vacation packages and special 'tag-along work days.'
New this year will be "Buy-It-Now" auction items at the event and an online auction. The "Buy-It-Now" auctions will be fixed price —first come, first buy — and will include specialty items, sculptures and art pieces. The online auction will include the ever-popular rights to have the winner's dog's picture on the 2017 Sarge's Dog Walk T-shirt.
The evening's auctioneer will be Todd Thompson, owner of Thompson Carr Auction in Sevierville, Tennessee. Thompson also owns the world-famous Charity Pros Benefit Auction Service.
"Sarge's is grateful to The Mountaineer and Harrah's Cherokee Resort Casino for partnering with us to support the Furry Friends Benefit Bash," said Smith, event co-chairman.
"Last year's Furry Friends was the most-lively, most fun, of any of the seven benefit bashes Sarge's has held," said Sarah Jane League, co-chairman of the event. "All those interested in attending are urged to get tickets soon, since the event sold-out the last two years."
The event will be a sit-down dinner with two entrées from which to choose. Laurel Ridge Country Club is offering a sirloin steak/chicken Marsala combination or vegetarian entrée, all with side dishes, salad and dessert. Menu selections must be turned in by Sept. 29. There will be a cash bar.
Tickets may be purchased for $75 per person at Sarge's Adoption Center, 256 Industrial Park Dr., Waynesville. Table sponsorships are available for $650, which will reserve a table for eight guests. Call 828-246-9050 or visit www.sargeanimals.org. Attendees may purchase with PayPal or a credit card at www.sargeanimals.org/furry-friends or use the 'Donate Social' button on Sarge's Facebook page.

Chapter 5.2Mature
I didn't mention anything to Aislinn the next morning as I got ready for my first lecture of the day. The dream was probably just me worrying too much about trivial things that didn't matter. I didn't want to seem mad in front of my room mate, no matter how accepting she was of my behaviour. Telling someone you'd had a dream about them when you were still fairly new friends just wasn't something people did.
So I walked off to my first lecture of the day without mentioning anything to anyone about what had haunted my dreams. The campus was very quiet as I crossed over to my lecture hall. It was before midday so I could excuse the majority of students without lectures in the morning for not getting out of bed. However, there was one figure walking towards the lecture halls that I hadn't expected to see.
"Lloyd," I called, waving to catch his attention. He turned and smiled back at me as I hurried to catch up with him.
"Hey, Nessie. How are you?" He asked casually.
"Fine," I said, a little taken aback that he was so nonchalant about our relationship. "How are you doing?"
"I'm alright I guess."
We continued to walk along together in silence, none of us quite knowing what to say. I knew exactly what I wanted to ask him, but I didn't know if I had enough courage to confront the problem head on.
"Lloyd," I said, trying to ignore the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, "can I ask you something? About the other night?"
"Yeah sure," he said. "What's up?"
"This is going to sound really stupid, but I was wondering if you could tell me exactly what happened."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, after we went upstairs, I can't remember anything that happened. The last thing I recall is you and me kissing."
To my utter dismay, Lloyd started laughing. "What's so funny?" I asked gruffly.
"Nothing," he said. "I'm just not surprised you don't remember anything."
"Because you fell asleep."
"We went upstairs into the bedroom, lay down on the bed and as I started to wonder where things were going you fell asleep in my arms."
"Oh no," I exclaimed, hiding my face in my books. "That's so embarrassing. I had no idea that is what I had done. I'm so sorry."
"Don't worry about it, it was quite amusing at the time."
"So how did I get home?"
"I saw that you had your key to your flat in your bag, you should really take off your room number from that by the way, and so I carried you home."
"That was really nice of you. You didn't have to do that you know."
"After the fight you'd had with your friend earlier, Owen was he called, I didn't think you would have anyone else to get you home so I thought I should do the right thing."
"Well thank you very much for that. I didn't expect you to do that for me."
"That's alright." I could tell that Lloyd was beginning to get a little uncomfortable, not looking at me but staring intently at our surroundings.
"I do have one more question though," I continued, stupidly thinking that I was doing the right thing. "Where does this leave us?"
"I don't understand."
"Do you want to ask me out on a date or something? I thought that seeing as we spend most of Saturday night attached to each other we might as well go out on a proper date."
"Nessie," Lloyd said, his tone setting off alarm bells in my head. "I really like you, you're a pretty girl and I had a really good time the other night. But I'm not really looking for a relationship."
I felt my stomach hit the floor as the words left his mouth. I couldn't believe that he could reject me in such a cool and calm manner, especially after I had shown such an interest in him.
"You understand," he said, "don't you?"
"But- I thought-"
"People hook up at parties, it's just what happens," Lloyd said far more brutally than I had thought possible. "I'd still like to be friends."
I couldn't believe the nerve he had to shrug my feelings away so easily and then tell me that he still wanted to be friends. I'd thought Luke had been cruel breaking up with me but Lloyd just didn't seem to care.
I couldn't think of anything to say to Lloyd, I couldn't believe the anger that was boiling up inside of me so the only thing I could do was walk away.
"Nessie?" Lloyd called after me. "Where are you going? Did I say something?"
I ignored him, listening instead to Alex's voice inside my head as I imagined what she would tell me at this moment in time. He's not worth it.
Although Lloyd called after me, he didn't bother to follow so I was grateful when I got inside my lecture building, found the right hall and could slip into a seat beside Lily.
"Hey Ness," she said cheerfully. "What's with the face?"
"Nothing," I said stiffly, not hiding the fact that I was blatantly lying. "I just had a bit of a strange conversation with Lloyd."
"You'll have to tell me about it after the lecture," Lily said as Professor Jacobs entered and began preparing his notes for his lecture. "I need to concentrate or I'll just never get any of this."
I smiled dutifully, as Lily expected me to do, but I was glad when the lecture began and I could finally focus on something other than Lloyd, Aislinn or Luke.

It really took me a moment to realize what I was looking at. This is such innovative architecture.ReplyDelete
I know, me too! It really is fantastic architecture isn't it.Delete
Wow! I didn't know this place, just fantastic!!! Thanks for showing! I love it! Hugs, BarbaraReplyDelete
It really is isn't it? Sometimes on a winters day you have to dream winter too!Delete
Love the Wegner papa bear chair in the second photo - so difficult to find (which translates to "so ridiculously expensive if you DO find one).
An amazing bit of architecture and design. Very inspiring...
Hahaha, I absolutely love that chair too, know exactly what you mean. I'm still hoping to find a neglected one in an attic one day along with the 'egg chair' :)Delete
wow.. amazing table and lightning!!!!!! such a fantastic place!!!
We love those kitchen dining chairs - anybody know the style make, probably out of our reach here is Australia though!! Love it all great blog:)ReplyDelete
Wow! That is just an amazing house. It is modern and yet still very close to nature. I love the concept you used especially in the dining area. It looks beautiful! I would just like to ask if those walls and floors are concrete. Because they just add so much to the overall look of the place. The greyness is just perfect! This is a wonderful share!ReplyDelete

Current and former NFL players react to Concussion movie
NFL players have been sharing their reactions to the film Concussion, released in theaters nationwide on Christmas Day.
In the film, based on true events, Will Smith plays Dr. Bennet Omalu, the forensic pathologist who has been vocal against the NFL's attempts to suppress his research on the discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and brain damage in deceased football players.
NFL players are able to redeem free admission to the movie by showing their NFL Players Association card at Cinemark theaters.
The MMQB screened Concussion with 70 former NFL players, and received emotional reactions from several players.
Below are some reactions from current and former players on Twitter.
[tweet: https://twitter.com/BernieKosarQB/status/680541972969426944]
#ConcussionMovie smears Dave Duerson and all of us who serve or served on disability board. Filmakers are cowards to lie about a dead man.— robert smith (@Robert26Smith) December 26, 2015

All around the world, millions are gearing up for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.. Kids will watch and dream of being an Olympian when they're older. The majority of us will watch, amazed by the athleticism displayed, and root for our home teams says the BBB.
The BBB has issued a warning; Beware of scams! Official Olympic merchandise is available through a number of sources, but counterfeit goods and outright scams are everywhere. A recent search on eBay showed 5,693 items for "Sochi 2014." Many were authentic re-sales, but some were fraudulent.
The most impressive item was the "Olympic Torch Sochi 2014." Yours for just $7,000! Seems a number of eBay sellers have the "Original Olympic Torch" for sale.
If you want to purchase team merchandise, go to these official sites:
- The Official Olympic website - sochi2014.com
- Team USA - teamusa.org
- Team Canada - olympic.ca
A handful of these "Official SOCHI 2014" torches are advertised on eBay as "Original and Rare" and "NEW."
We can't attest to authenticity - what do you think?

The former Youth Congress president is the second politician from Saharanwas after AAP leader Yogendra Yadav to enter national politics.
The sitting MP Rao Inderjit Singh has announced that he would soon leave the party. This might pave way for the young Rao to enter politics. However, he has opponents from within his community, which accounts for the largest vote-share in the region. "People want to vote for a young man to represent them, raise their voice and fight for them. My case for the party ticket will be forwarded by the state Youth Congress unit," he claimed.
The only son of former minister and five-time MLA Rao Ajay Singh Yadav has been with the student and youth wing of Congress since 2007. He is currently a student of law. His grandfather was also a well-known political fugure in the region.
"Family background also helps. But how you work and what you deliver matters the most. I have taken up the fight against land acquisition whether in Manesar or in Mewat. Working with people and fighting for their genuine demand is perhaps my biggest achievement in these years," Chiranjeev told TOI.

UPDATED: Will TNA Be Cutting Back On Their PPVs?
UPDATE: The Wrestling Observer reports that, as previously reported, two PPVs will be cut from TNA's 2013 lineup. The site reports that Against All Odds (February) and No Surrender (September) will be cut, meaning that there will be two months between Genesis and Lockdown and then two months between Hardcore Justice and Bound For Glory.
This would change the 2013 Bound for Glory series, as the semi-finals and finals were held at No Surrender and the matches would likely take place on Impact instead. This would allow them to have a big episode of Impact to set up their main PPV in BFG.
ORIGINAL: According to Pwinsider.com, the feeling is that TNA moving the Lockdown PPV to March is a sign that TNA is going to pull back on the number of PPVs they promote a year. For some time Dixie Carter has long been vocal about not wanting to promote monthly PPVs, but couldn't change that due to existing contracts with the PPV companies. While nothing has been officially announced, the feeling is that the change will be made.

Whereas the right eye has 5mm (0.2 inch) between the rim of the lashes and the lid crease - the left eye almost has no space above the lashes. I cannot believe how my left eye looks - something went wrong - what can be done??? Maybe the doctor cut too much skin away?
I had left eye ptosis surgery 5 days ago and I'm shocked how wide open my left eye is now? (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Overcorrection after ptosis surgery
There may be an overcorrection on the left side (related to muscle tightening, not skin removal). Discuss with your surgeon. Options include intervening asap or letting heal and possible lid retraction surgery later.
Web reference: http://www.tabanmd.com/eyelid-retraction
Ptosis surgery
Pyrosis surgery using the external approach usually requires initial overcorrection. After a few weeks gentle massage might be helpful, but prior to doing this , discuss with your doctor.
A question
Were both eyes operated upon or just the left...and could you post a preoperative photo? Sometimes operating on one eye only can cause a temporary descent of the opposite lid.

Pewdiepie Is Making A TV Show
Things seem pretty weird for YouTube's biggest star right now.
Things seem pretty weird for YouTube's biggest star right now.
If you've been on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or Vine lately, then you've probably seen pictures or videos of strange, cartoony characters recently. Maybe they're pole dancing. Maybe they're singing Frozen's Let It Go. Maybe they have a celebrity's face. Or maybe they look like a monstrosity that shouldn't exist.
A couple of weeks ago, I called up my 15-year-old sister. I wanted to ask her about a certain celebrity.
The Smash Bros Invitational at E3 had a surprise celebrity round tonight, and you can watch the match that transpired here.
And it's definitely not safe for children, either—these action figures of famous celebrities and characters are troublemakers. The real Toy Story looks so wholesome by comparison!
Celebrities: They're just like us! They have bad hair days. They hate waiting in line at the DMV. And just like us, they stand around looking uncomfortable when they play Wii U at conventions.
Now that we had the Oscars last night, it is time to gather a list of games that enhanced their storytelling by featuring real-life actors, actresses and other celebrities—not just as voice actors, but sometimes even as the main characters.
Sometimes you see Samuel L. Jackson walking down the red carpet at the Spike VGAs. And sometimes you feel compelled to ask him random questions about video games. Even if you get the feeling he doesn't actually play video games.
It's hard to say, really, who is more at fault in this sadly failed guess from last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live. While Kimmel got sidetracked and failed to remember pertinent information that would have helped him, the celebrity—armed not with a phone, but with a full-sized iPad—could have done a much better job…
At the end of a nearly 13 minute interview, Peter Travers, the eminent film critic from Rolling Stone asks Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta in current box office smash The Hunger Games to sing the song currently on his mind. OK, Hutcherson says, just one problem: The song has no lyrics.
EVE Online recently introduced an amazing new character customization tool that has the game's players seeing virtual stars at every turn. Space Conan O'Brien heads up our star-studded gallery.
Election Day was yesterday, but so what, none of these politicians in NBA Jam were candidates. When the game hits the Xbox 360 and PS3, it will have the same roster - and unlockables - as the Wii version.
L.A. Laker Kobe Bryant shows up to a game Tuesday in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Jeep. L.A. Galaxy star (not for long) David Beckham played EA Sports Active 2.0. Only in L.A. Only if game companies pay them?
Snoop, part-time rapper and full-time celebrity pitch-man who seems to say no to nothing, agreed to blow up a van in Las Vegas to promote Mafia Wars. That's Mafia Wars Vegas, the free game on Facebook. A couple of problems:
When last we heard from Bengals receiver/game enthusiast Chad Ochocinco, he was offering season tickets for an early copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Now he's enjoying Madden NFL 11, 18 days before release.
As a weekend timewaster, this idea was so good I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it first. GamesRadar plugged seven high-quality screengrabs into those find-my-celebrity-lookalike sites, and came back with some hilariously inaccurate - and surprisingly accurate - matches.
It is a cliché to say it is a cliché that a celebrity seemed like a normal person. So let's just say that, in his office today, Jimmy Fallon seemed just as concerned about the next GoldenEye as you, though maybe more excited about the next Star Fox.
You may recall last April, Ice-T and Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski discussed casting opportunities for Gears of War 3, before that game was even announced. Last night, Ice let slip that he has a speaking part, but quickly retracted it.
Another celebrity couple is said to be on the road to splitsville because of a console. This time, it's "High School Musical's" Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, and the "other woman" is an Xbox 360.
Hey, you know what makes a domestic violence arrest funny and lighthearted? Wii Boxing. At least according to one supermarket tabloid's interpretation of what went down between Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller.

April 26, 2009 I went to a double wedding. While I was there sobing so happy for all the new couples I said "I wish I could get married." But I didn't expect anybody to notice me saying that or anything. But after the wedding I couldn't make it to the reception but if I had he would of made his move. Who you ask? Andy, a Jack Russell Terrier who heard me say that I wanted to get married someday. So after he had gone home he p-mailed explaining where he saw me, how he has a big family, and aboout himself. But none of that caught my eye what did was that no dog had ever said I was the most beautiful girl at the wedding or in any other place. It made me fell good knowing I had somedog who liked me. And so Andy asking me made me confident knowing that our relationship will last. And it has for 19 days. That might not sound like a long time but when I told Andy how long we'd been dating he replied "The most happiest days of my life." And the same thing for me! We have gone to parties togther, he invited me to his brofur's wedding with him and so many other things!!! He has already got me a great gift! He is buying me Dogster Plus!!! And I told him "I don't have it yet but I already love it because it is coming from you!" I Love Andy Taylor Brossart!
My Big Human Sister, that is in 6th grade, made a poem about me!!! I love it!!! Here it is:
Her tail is like a cinnamon roll,
She is always scratching at her food bowl.
She barks all the time,
And it's almost a crime.
Her face is flat,
She is kinda fat.
She likes to bark,
And play in the park.
She always sheds,
She sleeps in our beds.
She's as cute as a bug,
She is our little Pug!!!
Isn't it grreat!!! It describes me really well! BOL!
Last week my humans brought us home some new toys!!! But it wasn't just because they loved us it was because we tore up the others. BOL! They are a tug-a-war rope, squeaky bone, and chew keys. We love them!!! The rope is neon pink and turquoise, the bone is blue in the middle and the two balls on the sides are soccer balls, and the keys are red, blue, yellow!!! My big human sisters say that the blue key is to a limo, the red key is to a hot rod, and the yellow key is to a cab, I usually choose limo (blue key)!!! BOL!

Iko...would you like me to move the original garlic thread here ?
Iko, one curious thing. At the end of your posts, you write "Ikod"Why the "d" at the end? []
Hmm. I've just read it. But why is it anything to do with Cod Liver Oil? I'm not sure what Cod Liver Oil contains, but something to do with ikod? []
OK! It's just that your name reminds me of an ipod. []
Quote from: neilep on 13/04/2007 23:28:51Iko...would you like me to move the original garlic thread here ?Thanks me friendos,I just moved reports and abstracts here,leaving the entertaining "bagna cauda"sort of thing down there in Guest Book.I meant to keep it more scientific here.ikod
Brilliant stuff here. I don't doubt the efficacy of the Science. However a question comes to mind - what dosage of allicin is needed for those miraculous antibacterial or anti-cancer effects? And, how many tablets of garlic available from the chemists does that correspond to? i think what I am saying is about the transfer of in vitro science to in vivo studies and the amount of allicin in commercially available garlic tablets from the supermarket.
I'm not trying to pressure you ikoD, I just wondered if we would receive enough allicin from taking garlic supplements on a daily basis. Thank you for posting real data and that is very valuable to make a balanced judgement. Keep on posting because this stuff really interests me.Of course if I start to take on garlic treatment I will take full responsibility for it. I think we have to consider the active ingredient allicin in the garlic pills and they probably differ depending on the method of preparation. I will have to get off my backside and do my own research.Thanks for your answer
Iko, I enjoyed reading about garlic and having used it for many years to combat bugs anti mosquito replant, de worming, and de fleeing dogs along with many other uses it does make one think why nothing has been done to test this amazing vegetable further. The use as an affective wart treatment suggests it's antifungal and antiviral properties may be far reaching.I love to eat wild garlic flowers and stems while walking my dogs that aromatic smell fills the whole of the woodland, and the dogs are partial to the odd mouthful also. I very often push a clove of garlic into the flowerbeds, this helps to get rid of pesky critters and provides me with a free source of garlic JAndrew
What is the best brand of garlic to get that doesn't taste and make you burp garlic?
Curcumin as "Curecumin": From kitchen to clinic.Goel A, Kunnumakkara AB, Aggarwal BB.Gastrointestinal Cancer Research Laboratory, Department of Internal Medicine, Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center and Baylor Research Institute, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TX, United States.Although turmeric (Curcuma longa; an Indian spice) has been described in Ayurveda, as a treatment for inflammatory diseases and is referred by different names in different cultures, the active principle called curcumin or diferuloylmethane, a yellow pigment present in turmeric (curry powder) has been shown to exhibit numerous activities. Extensive research over the last half century has revealed several important functions of curcumin. It binds to a variety of proteins and inhibits the activity of various kinases. By modulating the activation of various transcription factors, curcumin regulates the expression of inflammatory enzymes, cytokines, adhesion molecules, and cell survival proteins. Curcumin also downregulates cyclin D1, cyclin E and MDM2; and upregulates p21, p27, and p53. Various preclinical cell culture and animal studies suggest that curcumin has potential as an antiproliferative, anti-invasive, and antiangiogenic agent; as a mediator of chemoresistance and radioresistance; as a chemopreventive agent; and as a therapeutic agent in wound healing, diabetes, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, and arthritis. Pilot phase I clinical trials have shown curcumin to be safe even when consumed at a daily dose of 12g for 3 months. Other clinical trials suggest a potential therapeutic role for curcumin in diseases such as familial adenomatous polyposis, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, hypercholesteremia, atherosclerosis, pancreatitis, psoriasis, chronic anterior uveitis and arthritis. Thus, curcumin, a spice once relegated to the kitchen shelf, has moved into the clinic and may prove to be "Curecumin".Biochem Pharmacol. 2007 Aug 19;
High-Garlic Diet Can Help Heart Performance And Chances Of Avoiding CancerMonday October 22, 2007CityNews.ca StaffSure it can make your breath smell like something awful, but scientific research suggests a healthy daily helping of garlic can go do a lot when it comes to helping your health.The foremost effects are on the heart, where garlic boosts the body's supply of hydrogen sulfide, which protects one of the most important organs. "Garlic actually relaxes blood cells, so the vessels and the blood cells become more plastic and more elastic," said Jennifer Sygo, a registered dietician with the Cleveland Clinic.But it's not just good for the heart. A garlic-rich diet can protect against breast, prostate and colon cancer, medical experts suggest.The bad news is that in order to get the full health benefits should be eaten raw, but if you or others can't stand the smell on your breath, the second best way is to crush it before cooking, which releases the food's healthy compounds.Unfortunately though, when it comes to garlic, a little doesn't go a long way. Experts suggest a total of two cloves a day are needed to make noticeable improvements in one's diet, a smelly sacrifice not many are willing to make.more from: ...sorry, you cannot view external links.

WOW!! That is really good news in that study and do you think it will become a treatment? How many more studies do they have to use to impact the medical treatment as far as becoming a viable recommended treatment?

In the late 30s, sisters Clara and Nora face the future with hope and uncertainty. Told through their diaries and letters, this novel vividly brings them to life in a world struggling through the Depression and the growing threat of fascism in Europe. The author is the winner of Canadian Giller Prize for Fiction.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
A finely detailed depiction of the Depression era, Richard B. Wright's Clara Callan is told entirely in the letters and journal entries of two adult sisters, Clara and Nora Callan, and their older lesbian friend, Evelyn. The novel, Wright's ninth, made a surprising sweep of Canada's major awards for best novel--the Giller Prize and the Governor General's Award--in 2001. Wright has the gift of making the reader care deeply about these characters and their worlds, which include small town Ontario, where Clara is a sensitive schoolteacher, and New York City, where the younger Nora has moved to become a radio soap opera star. Since both sisters are still "on the shelf," their roller-coaster love lives--Nora's in worldly Manhattan and Clara's in the more restrictive atmosphere of small-town spinsterhood--are a primary subject of their letters and Clara's journal.
This is a quiet book, studied and well researched, but thoroughly engaging and readable. Numerous references to period music, political events, and the looming war quite successfully place the reader at both the centre and the periphery of life in the 1930s. Side trips to Italy and to view the Dionne quintuplets feel entirely authentic. With deceptive simplicity, the author creates a world of clear images: "Nora came in from her shuffleboard game with a sweater tied across her shoulders, her hair damp from the rain." Most importantly, Wright has realized characters that come alive on the page--quite a feat considering the self-imposed limitations of this novel's form. --Mark Frutkin, Amazon.caFrom the Back Cover:
In the midst of the Great Depression, two sisters from small-town Ontario pursue separate destinies. While Nora escapes to New York City to become the glamorous star of a radio soap opera, her older sister Clara follows a more conventional route, staying home and teaching school. Yet, as Clara's diary and the sisters' letters reveal, beneath the seeming ordinariness of her daily life the spinster schoolteacher hides dark secrets and clandestine longings. In his sensitive portrait of a quietly passionate woman who defies social mores, Richard B. Wright brilliantly evokes the atmosphere of the 1930s, when show business was still in its infancy and the world trembled on the edge of war.

A New Era - 2016 Hakone Ekiden Preview
follow @JRNLive for live coverage of the 2016 Hakone Ekiden on Jan. 2 and 3
The Hakone Ekiden Museum divides the history of one of the world's three great races into distinct eras. According to the Museum, the Hakone Ekiden's fourth era began at last year's 91st running with Aoyama Gakuin University's inspired and inspiring win. A young outsider coach, Sususu Hara, with a new approach to building a team radiating not just talent but positivity and a love of what they're doing. A star runner, Daichi Kamino, whose uphill Fifth Stage run guaranteed Aoyama Gakuin the win and turned himself and the rest of the team into national celebrities for the tens of millions of fans who watched the live broadcast and turned out along the course. A sheer depth of quality that indicated that Hara's development and organizational practices did indeed mark the start of something new.
In the year since then, a year that Hara targeted as the culmination of his plans when he recruited his trio of star fourth-years Kamino, Kazuma Kubota and Yusuke Ogura, Aoyama Gakuin has dominated the landscape. At February's Marugame International Half Marathon Kamino ran 1:01:21, the 3rd-fastest time ever by a Japanese collegiate runner, with Ogura and then-2nd-year Tadashi Isshiki also under 1:02:10. A month later Issihiki won the National University Half Marathon in 1:02:11, first-years Yuta Shimoda and Kazuki Tamura both clocking 1:02:22 to get into the top ten and Shimoda marking the best-ever time by a Japanese 18-year-old. In May third-year Kinari Ikeda won the half marathon at the Kanto Regionals meet. In July Ogura and Isshiki took gold and silver in the World University Games half marathon.
At the start of ekiden season, October's Izumo Ekiden, Aoyama Gakuin pulled off another historic performance, running faster than rival Komazawa University's course record despite an extra 600 m being added to one stage. Kamino, out for much of the summer with a stress fracture, returned for November's National University Ekiden Championships less than 100% his earlier self, Toyo University unexpectedly bettering Aoyama Gakuin for the national title. Aoyama Gakuin rallied a few weeks later at the Kanto Region University Time Trials meet where eight of its runners broke 29 minutes for 10000 m in one heat, giving it eleven sub-29 runners on its roster. Eleven sub-29 runners, ten spots on its starting Hakone team. Truly, a new era.
Aoyama Gakuin returns to Hakone the heavy favorite. Of the six schools in the 21-deep field with ten-man 5000 m averages under 14 minutes, the four schools with 10000 m averages under 29 minutes and the two schools with half marathon averages under 1:03 it is the only one to achieve all three. Its 1:02:36 half marathon average gives it a roughly 2 1/2 minute advantage over the other sub-1:03 school, Waseda University, and based on last year Kamino represents an additional three to five-minute advantage over most other teams. It looks like Aoyama Gakuin is a lock for the win, but things rarely go perfectly. Two weeks out from Hakone coach Hara told JRN, "Kamino's recovery has taken time. Don't expect him to be like last year. 1:20:00 is a realistic goal, and if he does that it will be a good day for him and we will be able to win."
1:20:00 puts Kamino at the level of most of the other top runners on the Fifth Stage. The loss of the advantage he brings pushes Aoyama Gakuin back closer to Waseda, itself dependent on one runner for its primary advantage. Captain Koki Takada won the 2014 Ageo City Half Marathon in 1:02:02 to lead Waseda on half marathon credentials, but since the summer he has been largely out of competition. If he is back to 100% Waseda will be the equal of the current Aoyama Gakuin on paper despite the uncertainty caused by the shift in leadership this year from longtime head coach Yasuyuki Watanabe to new head coach Yutaka Segara. If he is less than fit Waseda will be on the same level as the other two main contenders, Komazawa University and Toyo University.
Despite its Fifth Stage runner Shota Baba collapsing repeatedly in the last kilometer Komazawa was 2nd last year with arguably the strongest team lineup in Hakone history. It's down significantly in strength this year, ranked #3 with a top-ten half marathon average of 1:03:04 and only nine top-level runners on a ten man team. Head coach Hiroaki Oyagi may be the most successful coach in Japan, but despite almost always being in the top three he hasn't been able to pull off a Hakone win since 2008. Still, with Kamino and Takada looking shaky a perfect team performance by Komazawa could put them back on top, especially on the second day where they always excel.
National champion Toyo is ranked 4th on half marathon average at 1:03:06 and comes in with the advantage of having beaten Aoyama Gakuin in November. Under young head coach Toshiyuki Sakai Toyo almost always excels in high-pressure situations. The proximity of Komazawa and a less-than-100% Aoyama Gakuin and Waseda fits the bill. Toyo's main advantages: brothers Yuma Hattori, last year's Second Stage winner and the 30 km national university record holder, and Hazuma Hattori, this year's 5000 m national university champion and stellar in both Izumo and Nationals. One cause for alarm: for months Sakai had Hazuma targeting November's Hachioji Long Distance meet where he planned to clear the sub-28 Rio Olympics 10000 m qualifying time. Hazuma was a DNS in Hachioji seemingly without public mention, raising the possibility that he sustained an injury sometime in November. Regardless, while over the last ten years Hakone has become a blowout win for whatever team's Fifth Stage runner took the top position, this year it looks like it could actually be a tight four-way race for the win over the second day.
Tokai University doesn't quite measure up to the top four but is well ahead of the other 16 teams, giving it a strong chance of taking 5th and of placing higher if any of the top four crack. With one of two outstanding Japanese first-years in the field this year, Haruki Minatoya, 13:54.07, 28:46.59 and 1:02:54 in his first year of university racing, Tokai looks like it will peak two to three years from now.
6th through 9th place should be a race between Meiji University, Yamanashi Gakuin University, Teikyo University and Nittai University. Meiji's chances depend heavily on senior Ken Yokote, 27:58.40 and 1:01:37 in the first half of 2015 but out of competition with injury until late November. Yamanashi Gakuin looks like it has a team capable of winning in 2017 or 18, but while they are solid on the track its core young members are not quite there yet on half marathon ability. One of the main sources of drama in the days leading up to Hakone this year is head coach Masahito Ueda's decision about which of his two Kenyans to field. Fourth-year Enock Omwamba has struggled with ups and downs since DNF'ing on the Second Stage at Hakone two years ago, unable to make it up last year when he suffered an Achilles injury two days before the race. This year will be his last chance, but throughout 2015 first-year Dominic Nyairo has rapidly overtaken him with sensational performances at both Izumo and Nationals. Nyairo clearly looks like the better athlete, and if Omwamba is fit Ueda will face a very tough decision.
At Hakone each year the top ten teams make up the seeded bracket, guaranteed a place at the following year's Hakone Ekiden and at October's Izumo Ekiden with 11th place and lower needing to requalify at the Yosenkai 20 km. The race for 10th place, covered in detail on the Day Two broadcast every year, is often the most exciting part of the entire ekiden, and this year it looks like fans are in for a great one. With the top nine relatively secure, six teams of almost equal ability are in contention for the tenth and final spot in the seeded bracket, Josai University, Kanagawa University, the #1 legacy school Chuo University in its 87th-straight Hakone appearance, Nihon University, Juntendo University and Takushoku University. Josai is down on strength following the graduation of 10000 m national record holder Kota Murayama, while Nihon, Juntendo and Takushoku are on the way up. Nihon features the fastest university man over 10000 m this year, Kenyan first-year Patrick Wambui with a 27:54.98 in June, but Wambui will likely be passed over in favor of last year's Fifth Stage runner-up Daniel Muiva Kitonyi. Alongside Tokai's Minatoya, Juntendo's Kazuya Shiojiri is one of this year's star first-years, with bests of 14:04.20, 28:32.85 and 1:02:54. Takushoku, alma mater of two of Japan's best recent marathoners, Arata Fujiwara and Kentaro Nakamoto, fields first-year Workneh Derese, possibly only the second Ethiopian to ever run Hakone.
The six teams at the back end of the field are unlikely to factor into the action and will spend most of the second day trying to stay ahead of the dreaded white sash start. Chuo Gakuin University features 5000 m and 10000 m Kanto Regionals champion and 3000 mSC national champion Hironori Tsuetaki in his final university ekiden. Despite being ranked second-to-last Tokyo Kokusai University will be one of the most interesting teams in the field, making Hakone in just its fifth year of existence as a team thanks in large part to Kenyan Stanley Siteki. Daito Bunka University is ranked last by quite a large margin after the loss of its star twins Hiroshi and Takashi Ichida to graduation, but with a not much better team last year it still came through to make the seeded bracket. One week before Hakone assistant coach Shuta Baba told JRN, "If we make the seeded bracket we'll be as happy as if we had won." Jobu University, Hosei University and the Kanto Region Student Alliance Team made up of top-placing individuals from non-qualifying schools at the Yosenkai round out the field.
NTV's live nationwide broadcast of the Hakone Ekiden begins at 7:00 a.m. both Jan. 2 and 3. Once again this year JRN will cover the race in its entirety on Twitter @JRNLive.

Thanks for the synopsis Brett. Do you have any recommendations for those of us in the US who would like to watch live (either online or satellite)? I used to use Keyhole TV... but the quality waned in recent years to the point I switched to listening to an online radio broadcast :(
Either way, I'm looking forward to your play by play with @JRNLive

The last time I used Keyhole it worked much better with the premium key option.
I haven't used the jpPlayer site but it looks promising: http://www.jpplayer.com/
This also looks good but takes time to set up so might be a better long-term option: http://www.nihonnamaterebi.com/
A list of these and other options: http://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=73546
If you use any of these please let me know if they work decently.

Wow, there's a ton of options I hadn't discovered yet in the d-addicts.com forum! I'll let you know how it goes.

As always, thank you for a thorough and unbiased analysis and preview. "Two weeks out from Hakone coach Hara told JRN, "Kamino's recovery has taken time. Don't expect him to be like last year. 1:20:00 is a realistic goal, and if he does that it will be a good day for him and we will be able to win.""---I have to say I'm kind of glad to hear a coach level with the media with an honest assessment of his runner like this. Sure, dealing with the pressure is part of the deal when you're running Hakone, but setting realistic goals for an athlete seems to suggest that Hara's approach is one that values an athlete's long term career in the sport over an series of victories at Hakone. Not sure if that's an accurate assessment, but his general approach for the team from the get go seems to have been long-term focused...the Lydiard method of coaching?

Brett - Just to check back in, I ended up using eMankai.com to watch Hakone this year. It was one of the options listed on the message board link you provided. It gave decent video too - though certainly not HD and it got blurry when we projected it to our TV (vs. the computer).
I first tried Keyhole Premium, but that was still a horribly choppy feed. If you didn't know it was a race, it might've been hard to tell they were running. :)
I paid $30 fo eMankai - and I was happy with the service they provided. Best of all, I started the sign-up process in the middle of the first leg and we were up and going with a video feed well before the end of the first leg.

Mission to Israel
Obelis European Authorized Representative Center (O.E.A.R.C.)
Mission to Israel
The medical Belgian Trade Mission to Israel will be held December 4-8, 2005, organized each year by the Embassy of Belgium. Participants in this mission include Obelis European Authorized Representative Center (O.E.A.R.C.), a dynamic Belgian company providing regulatory compliance consulting to manufacturers worldwide, in accordance with European Directives including MDD 93/42/EEC and IVDD 98/79/EC. Their high quality compliance solutions, proven by their ISO 9001:2000 certification, include Commercial, Regulatory, Administrative, and Market Development Services. Already being actively involved in the Israeli market, O.E.A.R.C. brings important representation to this mission.
Exporting to Europe mandates the compliance of specific EU requirements, to include CE marking. As a medical device or in-vitro device manufacturer, this CE mark will allow you to freely market your products throughout the European Union. Appointing a professional Authorized Representative (EC REP) in the EU makes the potentially difficult process of exporting to Europe a simple one. O.E.A.R.C. has more than 17 years of experience providing manufacturers CE marking and the other needed services to assist the process of taking products into global markets.
Visit the O.E.A.R.C. website today at www.obelis.net for more information.

by Jeremy Foster-Fell
(Wolcott, Vermont)
It was probably the Winter of 1949, which also had had a major snow fall in the North of England, when my father first read Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol to me and my slightly older sister.
It was shortly after the end of World War II and my father and all three uncles had safely returned from North Africa.
Food was still on rationing and required "food stamps" in England (I had yet to see a banana or a pineapple!), and candies ("sweets" to us) and sugar were in very short supply. A goose or a turkey would have been a real treat.
So Ebenezer Scrooge and A Christmas Carol first appeared in my consciousness against a backdrop that had some real connection to the outside world.
My father had a wonderful timbre to his voice and a real talent with words and timing, so the visual (in a pre-video and TV era) was cerebral and powerful.
As I write this I can hear and see as if 60 years have melted away and I am sitting on the floor next to the coal fireplace, listening wide eyed to the next excerpt.
Poor young Bob Cratchit...and I was so scared of the Ghost of Christmas Past. I knew I had better not be a mean person if I was to avoid that ghost in later life!
Words. Our most powerful human tool. They can be used as indelible gifts or vindictive weapons.
I learned the saying in kindergarten, "Sticks and stones can hurt my bones but words will never hurt me." I realize today how off the mark that was.
Broken bones usually heal over time, but harsh words can wound for a lifetime, just as rewarding words can be immortal.
"God bless us, every one," said Tiny Tim.

Chapter Seven [III]
"Where were you last night, Aoife?" Blaise asked as soon as Aoife appeared.
Aoife frowned. "Painting by the lakeside, as I said," she replied.
"You weren't back till ten," Blaise continued accusingly. "I heard the door when you came in."
"I'm sorry, Blaise; I tried to be quiet," said Aoife. "And as for ten o'clock, am I not allowed to stay out painting? I was in bed at my usual time and earlier, Blaise – I promise."
Blaise shrugged. "I just thought wouldn't you get really bored, painting for three whole hours?"
"Well as we all know, you don't exactly get bored reading for three hours," Daniel intervened gruffly. "So I don't see what you can say about someone else's hobby."
"And you get bored of anything in three hours," Blaise smiled sweetly.
There was little conversation at breakfast that day. They were all tired, having been up and about all day the previous day, up the Feilalm and across the golf course. They were stiff and achy today, but in high good humour.
"How is Delia today, chicken?" Sir Humphrey asked when the silence threatened to become dull.
"I'm not a chicken, Dad," Delia said with dignity, "or I'd be clucking like Blaise does. But I'm fine. I feel really good today after that walk. It's such a refreshing, satisfying achiness, don't you think?"
"I haven't a clue what you mean," said Dan. "Ache means ache and that's the end of it."
"That isn't true!" Blaise flew up instantly. As Aoife declared, she was always spoiling for a squabble with her brother.
Aoife watched amusedly for a few moments before she took a hand. "I understand exactly what Delia means because I feel it myself, but it isn't Daniel's fault if he doesn't, Blaise," she said calmly, and the fight stopped immediately. "It just means he hasn't a gram of imagination in him."
"And he's proud of it!" finished Daniel firmly, and Blaise, after muttering something about 'a load of utter rubbish', subsided. There was something different about Aoife this morning. But it was an inexplicable difference, an intangible and invisible difference which I cannot describe with words alone, and only Sir Humphrey caught the gist of it, and realised that Aoife had suddenly grown up more fully than ever before. She had been old before, he knew. Now she was matured, and, he felt, ready to make her own way in the world should she feel the compulsion to do so.
She was evidently quite content right now, taking the family's lengthy orders for toast even as she spooned cereal into her own mouth.
"What are we doing today?" asked Delia. "I hope it's something energetic – I feel great after yesterday."
Aoife looked interested. "Really? Well, I'll see if I can evolve an evil scheme," she promised, looking thoughtful.
When they had all finished, Aoife abandoned the washing up momentarily and sat the younger party down at the table again.
"We're going to have an educational day today," she said, taking complete charge, and there were several groans. She ignored them. "We're going to start with family washing up, which will be led by the washing up song. Later this morning we'll go swimming in the lake, before it gets too hot. We'll have packed a picnic earlier, which we'll eat at the lakeside. This afternoon I will conduct a German lesson, then we'll watch some German television, and look up words in our personal dictionaries. After that we'll buy postcards and write them, seeing as we haven't done any of that at all so far and have been neglecting our friends most shamefully, and this evening I'm going to see if I can get permission to build a campfire. Maybe if it's warm enough we could camp outside."
Cheers greeted this announcement, and she was bombarded with questions on all sides.
"Why do you need permission?"
"Does Nat sleep out too?"
"What's the washing up song?"
"Whoa there, family!" cried Aoife. "Mercy! Now, one at a time. We need permission because we might burn down this whole place, which wouldn't be too clever. I expect they'd make us pay some money to rent a particular place for the night where bonfires are allowed. No promises on that front or the sleeping out one, either. Nat isn't included on this. Sorry to him, but he's only five, and that's just too young for us. He'll be much better with Serena and company."
"Can we ban adults?" the question was raised seriously by a solemn voice.
Aoife laughed. "Do I not count as an adult?"
"No," Blaise was puzzled. "You're Aoife."
Aoife nearly burst into hysterics, but she bit her lips and controlled herself. "Well, I don't expect I'd be allowed to let you sleep outside without another adult. I'm only nineteen. And Dan would be the only boy, which isn't fair on him. No; I'd have to persuade Rob to help us."
Three grunts greeted this. None of them knew Rob very well, seeing as he had left home six whole years ago, when Blaise had been three and even Dan had been a mere seven. Then Delia spoke.
"What does Dad say?"
"He approves. I was talking to him before breakfast. He says as long as I get permission for the campfire bit, he'll back me up on the rest."
"What's the washing up song?" Blaise asked her original question.
"It goes like this," Aoife said, opening her mouth and singing in a sweet clear voice.

FREE Webinar: How to make your first $1,000 online!
Hey everyone!
My name is Michael Carbone - I'm mostly known as fydor_8 who used to play the $220 turbo Heads-Up Sit & Go's on Full Tilt Poker pre-Black Friday.
I'm thrilled to say I'm back playing/coaching HUSNG full time again
This Friday, I'm going to be hosting a FREE and LIVE webinar where I'll take you behind the scenes and show you the exact strategies and thought processes I use to crush Heads-Up Sit & Go's. I'll be playing, showing you my cards, and explaining how I make the right decisions with incomplete information.
Let's grab a beer and talk poker. You can sign up here: www.michaelcarbone.ca
Sign up even if you can't attend at that particular time, I'm planning on recording the webinar and emailing it to everyone who signs up. However, I will be giving away some pretty awesome bonuses & prizes to the people who are attending live!
Seats are limited, so sign up now. See you on the webinar!
-Michael (aka fydor_8)
FaceBook Page (http://facebook.com/fydor8) Twitter (http://https://twitter.com/Fydor_8)
P.S. Just a heads up (pun intended!) this will be best suited (another pun!) for begginers/micro players. If you're playing 15-30$ levels or higher, this might be too basic for you.
P.P.S. Mods, I have permission from dakota-xx to post here. Thanks
So, to clarify, this will not relate to HU cash games, right?
Will HU cash game strategies be covered simply based on them both being heads-up or are they much more different than the names imply?
The title sounds like a bankroll building suggestion. Would you consider this to be a suggestion on how players should build their bankrolls? Basically, would you suggest that players learn to play HUSNGs because it is the best/easiest/etc. way to build a bankroll even if they currently grind HU cash, MTTs, or another format?
In my opinion, Heads-Up Sit & Go's are the easiest way to make consistent money playing online poker. If you're a low stakes cash game or tournament player, this may open your eyes to a different world. Again, it's only my opinion but I've had many students who were losing or break-even cash/tournament players who went on to make good playing playing HUSNG after making the switch.
Hey Michael great stuff. HU sitngos are very underrated and filled with many donks at low levels. I played in one of the weekly Pstars HU tournies $220 buyin or something a few days ago. First round I was paired against a supernova elite and he was very tough and in the end beat me. Was wondering if you would be doing anything more advanced in the future?
Looking forward to hearing from you. Good luck!
You mentioned that you played in the Turbo HUSnG's will you be covering Turbo's. Regular, Hyper turbo, and or a mixture of these games?
Also how much have you played since BF (Recently)? Specifically in the HU SNG area?
I shall do my best to make an attendance any information from a(n) successful player basic or advanced information is good information =)
re: Poker & FREE Webinar: How to make your first $1,000 online!
I will we discussing Heads-Up Sit & Go's in general but the game-play that I'll be showing (showing my cards and thought process) will be in a hyper-speed game.
Since Black Friday, I've played nearly 2,000 games.
See you there!
He is very good at analyzing the game-play situations, and I was interested in the webinar, because my heads up play at the very end of STTs have been a bit of a leak in the past.
The price that was offered for the coaching site was reasonable, but to spend every day for at least 3 months just studying and working on heads-up play...Yikes!
re: Poker & FREE Webinar: How to make your first $1,000 online!
1.50s are 1.44 +0.06 . if you win 5.5 out of 10 you win 15.84 and cost 15 to enter so $0.84 profit per 10 games. to cover that $100 a month coaching fee beginners will have to play nearly 1200 games per month ( 40 games per day) just to cover the coaching cost and rake and this is assuming that they automatically start winning more games than they lose.Maybe i'm being cynical , but the only winrate type stuff shown was his winnings graph, nothing to show how the people who this is aimed could expect to earn at. Granted , you can say the 100$ a month is an investment that you put in at the start which will be repaid from winnings later on, but you still have to grow your bankroll from winnings to move etc in order to be able to make those returns later on.
Anyway , that's essentially why i passed on the "opportunity". For HUsngs regs at micro stakes who are already winning and have a base knowledge the maths may make more sense for them as they are already over the profitability hurdle and can make the move through the stakes quicker.
I just was looking at it as an long term investment when I describe the price as being reasonable.
It's the same thing as going to any trade school. There's no way your going you can expect to make any immediate profit, but in the long run it is inevitable.
However, 40 SNGs a day is only like 4-6 an hour each day. It seems like an awful grind, but it's not that horrible.
No problem, the Mastermind is really for people who want to make Heads Up Sit n Go's their main focus and ultimately play them exclusively by the end.
You're right, I could have probably done a better job explaining the exact details of what you should expect in the private group...I hope this ties up some of the loose ends. If not, feel free to ask more questions as I'd be glad to clarify.
#1 Yes, you'll be getting a new 1-hr video every week. However, this is NOT just going to be a general video of my game-play or a hand-history review. These videos are going to be step-by-step learning guides to teach you everything you need to know to learn/improve and ultimately crush HUSNG. Everything from the fundamentals, to basic theory, to specific elements of HUSNG that you need to understand and apply. Again, I understand that the $100s play way differently than the low stakes so my lessons will be customized to the stakes my students are playing. I have a lot of experience coaching lower-stake players, so I know how to coach them accordingly. Also, I don't have a "team". I'll be in the group leading all conversation, debates, and answering questions daily.
#2 Yes, 100$ a month for 3 months is a considerable investment. However, I can guarantee that the value you will get in this group will make it will worth it. I also remember saying that all the information you need is probably already out there on the internet if you look long enough, but in my coaching experience, I've found that alot of students have a hard time applying the information and lack of confidence usually leads to confusion regarding if they are actually applying them correctly. This is why I've structured the group this way...most low stake players need constant support and re-assurance that they are doing things well (or not well, and need correction). Again, there's a big difference between having the information and actually staying on track without falling off the wagon. I can't stress how much support, motivation, and accountability are important in someone's development and usually these three characteristics differentiate a player that gives up and quits vs a player who sticks to it and achieves greatness.
#3 This is a long term investment, and I did explain that in the webinar as well. I encourage people to sign up for at least 3-months because you simply won't see results after 1-month and I'm not trying to hide that from anyone. This is also why I gave a significant discount for the 3-month package. I only want students who are committed to sticking with thing long enough to see considerable long term results. Also, I don't expect people to play 1200 games a month and make back their 100$ investment every month. If someone is willing to make the sacrifice upfront and remember that this is a long term investment, this is likely going to provide disproportionate results in the long term.
#4 There's a big difference between watching general videos that weren't make for you vs watching videos about your particular play and working with someone who will help you with your specific needs. So, yes you can find plenty of videos of me coaching online, however getting videos tailored to your specific needs/leaks are way more applicable and hold much more value.
Thanks for bringing this up, I probably should have been more clear on the webinar about the exact details, but this was my first-ever webinar so I guess I now know what I can improve on!
Hope this helps, good luck
Like I said, I've had students who were beginners and/or micro stake players pay me 100$/hr and understand the value in the investment even though it was a big commitment upfront. Many of them are still playing HUSNG (3+ years later) and have made it to a stake where they make a considerable monthly income with it. Think about the value in using this as a starting point or stepping stone to get you to a point where you can play the $20, $30, $50 stakes. Let's assume you stayed in the group for 1 year and paid $1,000, you could easily end up making that back in 1 month down the road, even if it's only 1 year from now. And, every month after that is profit!
I know it's not easy to justify for some, and that's why this Mastermind is NOT for everyone. It really is for a select few people who are willing to make the commitment and who have a strong desire to reach their goals without letting anything get in their way...even if it only means recovering their investment 1 year from now.

However, my course will drastically accelerate the learning curve. And most importantly, it will decrease the percentage of players who give up due to lack of motivation, confidence, too many short term losses, or whatever the reason may be.
