*From the Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Brazil.
Correspondence to: Benedito Antônio Lopes da Fonseca, MD, PhD, MPH, Departamento de Clínica Médica, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, Avenida dos Bandeirantes, 3900, Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, CEP 14049–900, Brazil; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Study objectives: The detection of Mycobacterium sp on a culture remains the "gold standard" technique for the diagnosis of mycobacterial infections. A small percentage of these cultures, however, may be contaminated by other nonfastidious microorganisms, making accurate diagnosis difficult. We evaluated the use of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol that was specific for the genus Mycobacterium, and specifically for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium, and Mycobacterium intracellulare, for the identification of Mycobacterium sp growing on contaminated cultures.
Design: This prospective study was designed to identify Mycobacterium sp growing on mycobacterial cultures contaminated with other microorganisms.
Samples and patients: Twenty-six samples, taken from 23 patients with probable mycobacterial disease, that resulted in Mycobacterium growth but were contaminated during their processing were evaluated in this study. Clinical data and the clinical status of each patient were used to ascertain the final diagnosis.
Results: All samples studied here exhibited Mycobacterium growth on solid media but were contaminated by nonfastidious bacteria, compromising the biochemical identification of the Mycobacterium sp. PCR correctly identified the genus Mycobacterium in all samples. M tuberculosis was identified in 14 samples, and M avium in 10 samples. No amplification of M intracellulare was obtained, and in two samples there was amplification only for the genus Mycobacterium. In the cultures of those patients in whom a mycobacterial infection was evident, PCR identified M avium and M tuberculosis in samples from 6 and 12 patients, respectively. However, PCR identified M avium (two patients) and M tuberculosis (two patients) in the cultures of four patients for whom a mycobacterial disease could not be confirmed by our case definition. Finally, in two samples from one patient only the genus Mycobacterium was amplified by PCR.
Conclusion: PCR, with its advantages of greater speed and effectiveness than conventional detection methods, was successfully used to identify the Mycobacterium sp growing on contaminated cultures.

RADIO 1 DJ Pete Tong has been granted a restraining order against a singer who
claimed she was his WIFE.
Shara Nelson, who sang on Massive Attack's 1991 hit single Unfinished
Sympathy, harassed him with nuisance calls, a court heard.
She was also accused of telling colleagues at his work that she was his
manager. Nelson gave her surname to the court as Tong — claiming she had
married the DJ and had his child.
Both claims are false. Her campaign caused "distress and embarrassment" for
Essential Mix host Tong.
Nelson was banned indefinitely from contacting Tong, 51, or his friends and
family. She was given a 12-month community order and 80 hours' community
service by West London magistrates.
Nelson, 46, has had limited success after singing with dance band Massive
The hit was named NME's single of the year. She is working on a solo album.
A witness outside the court said: "Shara looked a shadow of her former self.
You would never believe this was once a successful singer."
A spokesman for Tong declined to comment.

Ifield Foundation Special School, Kent
The idea: wildlife zone/outdoor learning area with wheelchair access ramps, seating and covered areas
Ifield's entry made immediate impact by summing up the idea in a nutshell: "The project idea is to provide a stimulating outdoor learning environment to include the wildlife, animal habitats and insects, a workshop, information boards."
This helped judges quickly get a grasp on the project and move onto measuring the entry against the criteria.
The project's cross-curricular potential, aims to enthuse disengaged learners and exciting outdoor learning environment, all appealed to the judges. It was so clear that this would be a beneficial and engaging space for all students at the school.
Some of our pupils who are in danger of non-engagement in lessons have excelled in an engagement curriculum. We see this new project, perfect, for these youngsters to improve their engagement, focus, behaviour and social interaction.
Ifield School has 196 pupils (aged 4-16 years) with profound, severe and complex learning disabilities. Engagement, focus, behaviour, social interaction and learning interests are difficult for many.
We currently run a gardening/environment club limited to 12. This project would benefit the whole school to have an opportunity to access the area during lessons, clubs, lunch times and breaks ensuring all are able to experience the stimulating learning environment.
A cross curricular approach to include science including wildlife, the environment and weather; maths for recording data; literacy as a journal and storytelling and in art for drawing, painting and taking photos.
The school also told us about a pilot scheme for outdoor wildlife lessons that they'd run with disengaged students. These specific examples of new skills and experiences gained by students really stood out:
This included planting flower beds, growing vegetables, watching wildlife in the woods. Behaviour, focus, social interaction and engagement improved and in addition numeracy (counting) and literacy (documenting, labeling etc) skills improved too.
By including a bit of background about the school's other activities and its engaged community, Ifield helped our judges see that the project would have a life beyond the competition, long after the prize money was spent:
Ifield has dedicated staff, governors and parents/carers who support all aspects of school life and fundraising. We are continually creating fundraising ideas, fun days, evening events, such as rock concerts, car washing, pamper evenings to raise money and we do request support from local charities and businesses. For everyday care of our project, pupils, staff, governors, parents and carers would work together to sustain the area. Working parties and the Governor's Learning Environment Committee would be involved. The project would be well looked after and would be sustainable through our work with our local community.
Our judges also felt that Ifield's project was something that other schools could emulate – and spreading and sharing great ideas is a key aim of the competition.
Collaboration and student voice
Ifield's idea was transformed by getting the whole school involved in the competition. Details of how student voice developed the entry always goes down well on the shortlisting day:
This started as a gardening/environment club but as pupil development increased and success stories [were] discussed, the idea to expand the whole scheme for the whole school quickly developed into the idea we are proposing to you.
Horniman Primary School, London
The idea: fixed bikes in the playground to generate electricity for school radio shed.
All of our judges were impressed with Horniman primary's entry form; it perfectly brought to life the idea and the personality of the school.
Here's the opener:
We love cycling at Horniman but our school is at the top of a steep hill and the roads are busy around us. We would like to install some fixed bikes in our playground so we can pedal at playtime. We would like to be able to link it to a generator so that at times we can also use the bikes to generate electricity.
We would use the power to put on film shows and amplify music and power a radio station.
We were hooked immediately. This was an innovative idea that linked into outdoor learning, healthy lifestyles, sustainable energy and was fun.
Horniman used a list style to communicate the benefits their project would have on the school:
The bikes would make us fitter.
We would save money for the school by generating our own electricity.
We would learn a lot about power and the national grid and the technical side of things.
Our maths would improve as we calculate how much electricity we have generated.
We would be able to invite our local community to events.
It would make us more enthusiastic about school as exercise makes you feel happy.
It would give purpose to our exercise.
Our judges loved this impressive range of benefits, delivered in a quick-fire format. It ticked so many boxes.
Collaboration and student voice
A few schools failed to mention the student voice element of their entries, so it was great to see the extensiveness of Horniman's consultation process.
The idea was developed by our school council and our sustainability group which had a special joint meeting to discuss the project.
Imaree in our year 6 class set up a forum on Fronter for all children in the school to contribute their ideas.Year six have an enterprise club which meets every Friday and they are keen to work on the project further and present their ideas in detail.
Top marks for clear and persuasive writing: Horniman's entry stated: "Our idea is sustainable in every way."
Judges also liked the school's commitment to their idea: they were determined to make it happen whether they won the funding or not!
If we do not get the bid we will look at ways of making our plans cheaper by having old bikes donated. We would cover the bikes to stop them going rusty so they will last longer. The project would also demonstrate clearly how sustainable our school is. We have an eco-committee which meets every fortnight.This would be an exciting project for us to manage and develop.
The school also included a brief breakdown of how it would use the prize money and partners that would be involved in helping make the project happen. These details demonstrated that staff and students had really thought about making it work in real terms.
£2,500 to purchase and install fixed bikes and buy a generator and equipment for a radio station.
We would also purchase a garden room (up to £200) to be our base and dressing room for our outdoor performances and radio station.
We have made contact with a local company which puts on powered community events who would help with advice and technical side of things.
Salendine Nook High School, Huddersfield
The idea: art project and graffiti mural to transform an old school walkway called 'The Blue Tunnel'
Although Salendine Nook went for a functional, short-but-sweet style entry, it still told a detailed story about the school. You can almost feel those Pennine winds!
Our school is the second highest secondary school in England and Wales and suffers badly from the extreme weather that blows across from the Pennines. It is in fact two buildings, built in 1958. 10 years ago they were linked by a covered walkway known as the 'blue tunnel' and described by students as 'dull, ugly, grotty and dirty'. We would like to spray paint the inside of the walkway with a graffiti/street style mural designed by students from year 6 to year 11, inspired by the theme of 'I can'.
Judges thought that this idea was "brilliant in its simplicity" and a really creative approach to school improvement that would change the physical and social atmosphere of the grounds.
Lots of entries were innovative and creative projects, but few of them would benefit more than a small group of students at one time. As an idea that would benefit everyone at the school, Salendine Nook's project really stood out for impact.
The impact on the school would be enormous. All pupils would benefit. The tunnel is used by everyone. Not only does it act as means of getting from one building to another without getting completely soaked but it is also used by the pupils to queue up for their lunch and as a social area. It would brighten the school up and it would give the pupils a sense of ownership, involvement achievement and pride. It would be a means of uniting the buildings and the pupils in an inclusive and inspirational whole school project.
Judges loved that Salendine Nook had thought about rejuvenating their mural each year (so new students can also be involved) and that students and teachers would learn new skills in the design and implementation of project.
The project is very sustainable. The mural will be there for a long time and the theme of 'I can' will inspire pupils to achieve their very best academically, socially and personally. The blue tunnel will become an attractive feature of the school where pupils will be able to socialise and shelter from the elements. The mural will be redesigned every year with a new theme chosen by the pupils. All pupils will continue to benefit from the skills learnt by the art teacher.
Collaboration and student voice
As all students will benefit from the project, so to were they all involved:
The idea originated from a year 7 pupil. Posters were put up around school. The competition was launched in assemblies. Form teachers discussed the competition with their form groups, form reps took their form's ideas to the year council meetings, year council reps then took their year group's ideas to the school council meeting. The school council narrowed all the suggestions down to three final ideas and then held a fiercely fought debate which culminated in a vote to choose the final idea. The school council then brainstormed to develop the original idea.

Expert Advice
Corporal Punishment in School
Expert Advice
Toddler and Teenager Expert Advice from Carleton Kendrick, Ed.M., LCSW
How do you feel about corporal punishment being used in schools as a method of disciplining a child?
In my opinion, corporal punishment is not a healthy discipline technique in school or in the family. Discipline should teach there are logical and natural consequences to all our behaviors. Physically punishing and hurting kids teaches that might makes right. It teaches kids to fear that mistakes will bring them pain and shame. It causes them to seek revenge. It makes them lose trust and respect for the teacher who physically punishes them. Short of skillfully restraining a child who has physically become a danger to himself and/or others, teachers should not be permitted to inflict physical punishment upon kids in the name of discipline.

Effective Way of Destroying 1000 Gallstones In 24 Hours (RECIPE)
Many people around the world are suffering from gallstones, but not all of them are aware of the problem. Some people feel no symptoms at all, while others have symptoms such as skin rashes. Gallstones cannot be seen until you have an x-ray as they are not calcified and are very small. They can be red, green, dim or white tinted, and might contain a high concentration of cholesterol.
When gallstones are present, less cholesterol leaves the body and it might even increase. The stones can gather different microorganisms and parasites which pass through the liver due to their permeability, which can later lead to development of numerous diseases and conditions. In order to cure them, you will need to get rid of the gallstones first.
Luckily for you, we have an amazing natural mixture that will eliminate your gallstones quickly and effectively! Here's how to prepare the mixture:
Half a cup of olive oil (cold pressed)
A cup with a lid
4 teaspoons of Epsom salts
Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice from 1-2 grapefruits
Make the drink on your day off, and make sure you don't take any vitamins or minerals the day before the treatment. Eat low-fat food for breakfast and lunch.
2PM – stop eating and drinking anything after 2PM as you will feel stomach upset later. Make a mixture of 4 teaspoons of Epsom salts and 3 glasses of water and store it in the fridge. The amount is enough for 4 doses.
6PM – drink the first dose of the mixture.
8PM – Drink the second dose – even though you haven't eaten after 2PM, you won't feel the need to eat anything.
The key to cleaning your liver is to drink the doses at the right time.
9:45PM – squeeze a grapefruit and mix it with the olive oil, then go to the bathroom before drinking the mixture.
10PM – drink the mixture standing for 5 minutes, then lay in bed and stay in that position for 20 minutes. The reason for laying like that is to let more gallstones leave your liver. You should feel the stones moving and you should be free of pain soon.
Drink the third dose of the Epsom salts mixture not before 6AM. If you're feeling sick, wait until the sensation passes then drink the dose.
Drink the last dose of the mixture after 2 hours. 2 hours after that you are allowed to eat. We suggest you start your day with natural juice followed by leafy green veggies an hour later -try to eat light food throughout the day.
If you have diarrhea the next morning, don't worry – this is completely normal. You should feel relieved afterwards and the treatment should have eliminated your gallstones by then.

St Lucia police were questioning three men on Sunday in connection with the killing of a British man aboard his yacht. None has yet been arrested, however, and officials would not say if the men were suspects.
The Royal St Lucia police force said 62-year-old Roger Pratt was killed late on Friday when three men boarded his yacht, Magnetic Attraction, while it was anchored off the southern town of Vieux Fort.
Pratt's wife, Margaret, was wounded during the attack. Police say she has been treated and released from hospital.
The couple, from Moreton Paddox near Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, had been sailing their yacht since June to mark Margaret's 60th birthday.
According to a blog she has kept, they arrived in the Caribbean last month, making it to St Lucia to celebrate new year and later her birthday.
On Friday afternoon, she sent a blogpost describing their visit ashore to Vieux Fort to eat lunch and see a doctor for a minor injury to her husband's foot.
They returned to their boat just before midnight and, according to police, three armed men boarded the vessel and attacked the couple before fleeing. Robbery seems to have been the motive.
"Within minutes of the robbers fleeing, Margaret went in search of her husband and found him floating in the nearby waters," the police said in a statement.
Investigators have not disclosed how Roger Pratt was killed. A postmortem has been scheduled for Monday.
Police have denied a British newspaper's reports that a suspect has been fatally shot by officers.
The tourism minister, Lorne Theophilus, said law enforcement officers were working "to bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to justice speedily" and that St Lucia remained a "relatively safe" place for tourists and locals.
The Caribbean island of about 180,000 people has been struggling to stem a rise in violent crime in recent years, which authorities blame on drug trafficking. Police reported 34 killings last year, the lowest number in four years.

Do you play these Pairs, 66, 99?
Do you guys play these pairs, 6-6, 9-9, 8-8,4-4, 10-10? I do sometimes when the bet is not that large. I'll wait for the flop, and when the flop didn't help, I fold if anyone bets. But sometimes, I do also Fold it depends on my position and how many players are in play.
But sometimes I'm getting pissed when I folded my pair of 2s because of the bet, the flop comes with a 2s. I hate it when that happens. I just let the Three of a kind out of the hand. It often happens to me especially tourneys.
Do you guys play these kind of hand or you use it to do bluffs? I'm not that good at bluffing, but sometimes it works.
Here's another, I did also fold my 7-9, and when the Flop comes, there goes 7-7-Q. aarrrggg..!! Hate it!. I can do bet with these hand but I get to Fold because of the Raise.
you cant play small pairs in early position, ive learned that the hard way. If you want to play poker, better get used to folding small pairs preflop in early position and watching the flop trip up and the chips fly. The later you are in a tournament, the higher the pair has to be if you DO play. however early in a tourney, especially in a rebuy go nuts. Youre better off playing consistantly well than calling every time you have suited connectors or small prs.
re: Poker & Do you play these Pairs, 66, 99?
Unlike max power, i'll play pocket pairs from any position, depending on the size of a raise(if there is one). I usually like to limp in with pps(unless their big ones) or if i get them late position and there's limpers i'll usually raise.
Depends on the situation. Especially if there are no raises in front of you. If im in early position i always raise about 2 - 2.5 the BB, usually getting 1 -2 callers, than go from there. But it also depends if its late or early in a tourney and how big/small my chip stack happens to be.
i disagree with bernard when he says to fold all of these hands preflop. I just cant agree at all with that. Your chances of flopping a set on the frop are 8.8 to 1, if you just fold the hand than you have 0 - 1 odds.
Another point id like to add is that if you have a small chip stack than it is much better to all in with a small pocket pair than it is to go all in with suited, connectors, or an A.. But it all depends on the situation as stated
I love playing some of the middle pairs. They have Huge implied odds (especially at the micro stakes, no one sees a set coming), and they are very easy to get away from when the flop comes blank for you.
In regards to you letting go of the set you could have had, you should really not focus on that at all. Instead start paying more attention tothe times where you would have made nothing. I used to be like that and always focus on the hands that could have been. That is a bad habit to get into but just paying attention to the times you'd miss can help you out
I think you have to try see a flop with a pocket pair no matter what size it is.
Fair enough if you get priced out of it by a 5xbb raise, let it go, but if the price is right have a look.
If you do hit your trips, you are in a great position.
re: Poker & Do you play these Pairs, 66, 99?
I'll play any pair from any position. Key points...if opening the pot, Raise, no matter what. If there are open limpers, you can limp along, and If reraised only call or reraise w/ big pairs, usually 1010+. Usually fold if the flop missed unless you get a chance to move forward cheaply. And if your stack is large, it might be worth it to pay to see a turn here and there. But if you fold, and your card hits, brush it off, youre a poker player not a fortune teller, theres no way to know whats ahead so no use in beating yourself up, it will just make you make crappy decisions down the line.
i like to make sure i get enough implied(possible) odds to play before i call a raise. if there are lots of players in or i got a good read on a raiser(eg AA or KK) i will put up to 10% of my stack in preflop(maybe more pending how much is in the pot). but normally i don't like to put in more than 5% of my stack(or if heads up the smaller of the 2 stacks). this will give me odds i need to setmine(flop a set or fold). the odds of floping a set are only 7.5 to 1 but i make sure i can possibly get more than than for those times i flop a set and lose or just don't get paid off. the reason i will get only 10 to 1 if i know they got AA or KK is because if i do hit i'm more likely to get paid off. if i open the pot w/a pocket pair in the early going i often limp/call(a raise) because i often still get good odds do do so. if i raise then get reraisd i most likely dont get these odds and are forced to fold.
I play em to the flop every time!......... Of course, I also loose alot. LOL im a newbie and in no position to give advice but im glad this thread was started cause i just learned somethin and maybe i wont play all my hands the same way from now on. but i do have to say, if i have lost or folded out of 5 hands in a row... i play the 6th hand to the end no matter what (barring a obvious loosing hand that requires me to go all in.) and it hasnt failed me yet. but of course,....... i loose ...alot. jk
Small pairs up front can burn up a lot of your chips. Be extremely careful with small pairs - you're hoping to flop a set as cheaply as possible since you will throw them away most of the time. If you play from early position, you can't afford to call if someone behind you raises the pot.
In my opinion you play those small and medium pairs very well. Many
people tend to raise hard with these, hoping to get a coinflip or steal the
pot, but what they dont realise is that they could be putting themselves
up to get hanged... You should usually call with a small pair, but not a
strong raise... The thing is u know that if you catch that trio you are gonna
win and the only thing that is relevant now is how much you suck out
of the other players. The moderate pairs could be raised with but with
cossion and in the right position. Position is very important, and its important
to analise your opponents moves in the process, to see if they give any
hit of them having a monster.
I think pair small pairs are really tricky. I think each hand is so situation that's its so hard to just give a set way to play them. I take position, stack size, player tendenious all into consideration when playing small-middle pocket pairs. I personally in early postion tend to fold most small pocket pairs. I never limp in with a pocket pair in early position. In middle position I expand my range to include 66+. Also I try not limp in but I do when I know to my left I have a loose aggressive player. Now in late position I play all small pairs unless I face a huge raise or a 3 bet. Now when the flop comes the texture of the flop really determines how I play it out. If I was the raiser I will take a stab and it hoping to pick up the pot and if I get a caller. I will be very cautious. That's how I play small and middle pocket pairs. I couuld be totally wrong.
re: Poker & Do you play these Pairs, 66, 99?
Hello, and thank you for your questions and comments!
Small pairs can be difficult to play, but I think if you stick to a conservitive approach, you will see a profit. I would play 99 like I play TT and JJ's. In early position (when you have a relativly healthy stack, like at the begining of the tourney), you need to play a mixed strategy of raising and calling with these hands. I like 70 percent raise, 30 percent call. But remember, when you do raise, you should raise a larger amount than with the premium pairs, since you prefer to win the pot right away. While they are probabaly the best hand at table right now(preflop), the become difficult to play when they are called and overcards appear on the board. With Hands like these I like to raise four to five times the big blind givin that noone has entered the pot yet.
With hands like 88, 77, 66 , these hands are obviously weaker, and have to be played accordingly. You will still play these hands in early position, but with more caution. You want to limp in with these low-middle pairs, but you need a mix in a few raises for the sake of deception. I like a mix of 20 percent raises, 80 percent calls. If you are in middle position, it's a little trickier, You can play third position the same as the earlier positions, in fourth, raise with 88, but limp with 77 and 66. In fifth position, you should switch over to raising with all three pairs. In late position, these are all raising hands. I like a mix of 75 percent raise, and 25 percent call. And finally, the lower pairs like 55, 44, 33, 22 are dangerous for two reasons. Low pairs are, of course beaten by high pairs, In addition, however, low pairs can be counterfeited when high pairs appear on the board.
Now lets say your in fifth position, and someone calls in third position then play 99 with 50/50 mix of calls and raise. 88-22 you will get slightly better pot odds with the small pairs, so you can call with 88, 77, and 66. On the button, instead of fifth position, I would call with all these pairs. With the lower pairs, your hoping to flop trips or catch and otherwise exceptionally favorable flop.
One more senerio. Lets say your on the button, The player in third position raised three times the big blind, and the player in fifth position raised nine times the big blind. Then with 99-22 you should just call. If you floip trips, you can look foward to winning a big pot. If not, you can let the hand go with out having invested too much.
*A note on inflection play- small pairs become unplayable in early position late in a tournament when your stack is shrinking, because the implied odds don't make up for the times that you don't hit your hand big. But also not, that when you are severly short stacked, the become very playable, and you can be very aggressive with them.
good luck

Josh Billing
This coming from the jackass that called a reraise w/5's to lose half my stack to a bigger pair...i could kick myself. Damn you gambling doof!!
I agree...
Chip Killers if you play them to many times.
Catching the set on the FLop if it's cheap.
Early position is tricky
Good Luck
I will generally limp with mid pockets to try and see a flop. If there has been a raise I will consider how big my pockets are, how much the raise is and how many players are behind me. Depending on stack sizes I may fold or shove.
If it has been folded to me in late position I will always raise no matter how big my pockets are hoping to steal.
Like you said, depends on the bets and depends on how many guys pay the BB. Most of the times i just pay the BB, if someone rises depends on how that specific player plays. If he's a jackal i'll pay his rise, otrewise don't.
Don't hate yourself because of leting go wining hads, that's negative only for you, because next hand you'll play aggresive and you'll lost for sure.
re: Poker & Do you play these Pairs, 66, 99?
If it's a cash game, I open with every pair, because that way you make the pot bigger and if you hit you get way more value than just limping. Ofcourse you can take to pot down right there without seeing a flop. In tournament it really depends on the situation, in middle stages and 20-30BB deep you sometimes have to fold small pair preflop etc.
Depends I would tend on a few things, the basics if someone whom I have a read on makes alot of pre flop raises with, I can normally come over the top of them with a pocket pair. Yet having a mid ranged pocket pair, I like to access the flop and see what transpires based apon my hand. For Instance if the set hasn't come and I see a flush out there and 1 of the 2 cards I need is part of that flush, I hardly will play the hand from there. If I see that there is the possibility of someone having trips on the flop, if I get a chance to see the turn for cheap, I do make the call. Yes giving out ammo to them just to see the turn can be costly as well in the long run, but it does give the chance to catch an unseen fullhouse.
Yet there are times as well I will just limp, like any other cards, nothing hits, someone bets, instant fold.
Fold Small Pocket Pair in Early position
I will usually fold small pocket pair UTG and in Early Position. Also, I will fold AQ os and lesser hands UTG and Early Position under normal conditions.
I late postion, with several players it may be worth it to call a bet.
And, fold if you do not hit a set.
But, cirsumstances dictate many actions.
I like to open with pocket pairs from any position if it's early game, but as far as calling goes with pocket pairs I try to make sure I have 10:1, or 11:1, implied pot odds because that's what you need to make sure it's +EV in the long run. In the later stages I fold 22-55 from early position, but I still like to raise sometimes if I'm deep enough for it, say 30BBs or more.
re: Poker & Do you play these Pairs, 66, 99?
i like to raise to about 2.5xbb to get one or two calls to give me value when i do hit my set which happens about 1 in 5 times getting more players into the flop gives you extra value when you do hit

Profile of an Immigrant
new immigrants to Canada denied refugee status
The path of an immigrant is not an easy one: new language, new ways, strangers in the new country – but at least they have hope for a new life.
Tamas Majsa and Nikoletta Balogh once had that hope. Now, however, they face deportation – back to poverty, persecution, and pain, and all because their ethnic status in their country is not deemed by the Canadian government to face severe enough discrimination.
Disappointed, Tamas said, "We trusted the Canadian government 100 per cent with our application to recognize our situation because it is Canada, not Hungary."
Tamas and Nikki, from Szombathely in Hungary, are each half Romany, or Gypsy, the largest minority in Hungary. The Romany was a nomadic people hailing originally from India in the 14thand 15thcenturies as they fled from the Turks into western European countries. From there, due in large part to their differences in appearance (darker skin) and lack of knowledge in agriculture, they were driven into Eastern Europe, often brutally.
The Hungarian government at the time then attempted a forced assimilation, banning the language and practice of their culture, and a vast number complied, because to be overtly Roma was to invite mental anguish and physical attacks, even on children.
Today, the Romany are typically poor and many are unemployed, resorting to criminal activities which further amplifies their bad reputations. Lack of education is blamed. Roma children are often segregated in schools, placed in classrooms with special needs children, or in inferior settings with antiquated tools to learn, while non-Roma children have computers and all the modern conveniences. Only 13% of all Roma have completed secondary education so the cycle of poverty continues, keeping them from social mobility.
Tamas quit school early to escape the taunts by other children about his ethnicity. He said after years of trying to fit in, he gave up and decided to leave and get a job instead. He thought maybe he'd be more comfortable in mainstream society as a productive working adult. He worked at any job he could find, eventually specializing in painting. He was able to leave his mother's small 450 square foot apartment which she shared with three others and get his own place. However, the city of 90,000 people was small enough for non-Roma residents to identify his Roma heritage and harass him, to the point of violence.
In 2001, on their way back home from a concert, Tamas and Nikki were attacked by a group of five skinheads. The men attempted to sexually assault both of them, and in the fray, Tamas was stabbed in the leg. On numerous other occasions, they were approached in public areas and told to leave Hungary.
In 2010, his and Nikki's apartment was broken into by "skinheads wearing masks" who told him "his kind should go back to where they came from" and "Roma need to get out." They were attacked with knives and in attempting to defend himself and Nikki, Tamas was injured in the shoulder. Neighbours, alerted to the commotion, caused the attackers to flee.
That is when Tamas said, "I had enough. I moved with Nikki to her parents, and eventually left for Canada. I could not stay and put her parents or her in danger, as the attacks seemed to be escalating. They were always looking for me."
In November of 2010, Tamas arrived in Canada and applied for refugee protection. Nikki followed in February of 2011.
"We had some family here we could stay with at the beginning," Tamas said. His sister has been here since 2001. But it did not take them long to find their own apartment and find gainful employment, and soon they truly felt they were making headway with their lives in peace and learning to be the best Canadians they could.
No longer were they threatened due to their ethnicity; no longer did they feel their lives would be nothing but 450 sq. ft. of squalor; no longer did they feel less than a productive member of society. Canada was a dream come true. Here was freedom! They threw themselves into their new lives with enthusiasm: making friends, holding jobs, paying their bills, helping out with charitable organizations such as the Niagara Multi-Culture Centre.
It was important to them to be good Canadians, Tamas said.
However, their hearing did not bring them the good news they'd hoped for. They were rejected as Convention refugees in need of protection by immigration authorities on the basis of lack of credibility and insufficient evidence "surrounding any harm or treatment tantamount to persecution."
Flummoxed, Tamas and Nikki did not understand how that could be when they clearly faced physical violence multiple times in Hungary, and explained as much to authorities in their PIFs (Personal Information Form) and at the hearing.
The initial judgment which denied them protection stated they "lacked credibility" and the official also stated "I also do not believe that the 2001 and 2010 incidents were instigated by racists" despite Tamas and Nikki's testimony that the skinheads said they should go back where they came from. The author of the judgment also indicates there were some inconsistencies in the written PIFs and the verbal testimonies given which also caused Tamas and Nikki to lose credibility in his opinion. However, the author himself made errors in the facts when he wrote the report, causing Tamas to wonder how indepth the official went into his case.
In addition, the two did not report any of these incidents to the police, the report stated, and the author believed had they done so, they would have been protected by the state adequately.
"We never report to the police," Tamas said. "They do not come when they hear these things because they do not care about Roma either."
He said many of these hate crimes are never brought to the authorities' attention because nothing is ever done to resolve things. Those who are victimized have learned to deal with it privately.
During the hearing, they were provided a Hungarian translator and they were not allowed to speak any English at all. However, there were times when Tamas felt the answers to questions needed further explanation and a few times he tried to interject to clarify a point and was told by the judge he was not allowed to correct the translator.
After the initial judgment came down, Tamas and Nikki were then allowed to rebut with news articles reflecting recent violence against Roma in Hungary and testimony vouching for their responsibility by friends, co-workers, and others.
They hired a local lawyer, from Thorold, who specialized in immigration issues, and he collected the articles and documents which were then forwarded to the officials reviewing the rebuttal. Tamas and Nikki essentially waited while their fate lay in someone else's hands – but there was some comfort for them that it was in the hands of a professional.
However, the second judgment also denied them protection, and stated the submitted documents also lacked credibility due to the age of the incidents in question. According to the judgment, the officials were looking for very recent incidents dated after the first judgment, and the articles the lawyer collected and sent in were from 2 or 3 years earlier. Once again, the very system they trusted had let them down.
After receiving their second and final judgment, and realizing the articles sent were not appropriate, Tamas checked the internet, and found articles relating to a very well-known Romany activist, Natasha Varadi, who had fled Hungary to Canada in January of 2012, just months after her husband, because the situation against the Roma in her town had escalated to Nazified levels. In her town of Gyongyospata, near Budapest, militia regularly marched through town spewing hate epithets at the Roma, carrying whips, axes and armed with dogs. Under the guise of a neighbourhood watch patrol, militia members fueled by alcohol were recorded by CCTV cameras boasting they had painted a swastika in the dirt with their urine. Varadi and her husband have since claimed refugee status in Canada.
"If a strong activist cannot stand it there, how can a regular person," Tamas said. Hungary was Canada's top claimant source in 2010, with almost 3,000 applying as refugees in a six month period.
"We can't all be wrong," he said.
Meanwhile, Tamas and Nikki face an unsure future. With no money, no possessions, and no place to go, they fear they will be on the street, and once again be an abused second-class citizen.
"One of my friends has told me the situation is the same and we will face the same attacks if we go back. They are looking for me. And we have to go back to the same city where they live," Tamas said. "The situation with discrimination is the same. It was and it will always be."

Pretty Little Liars - Season 1 Episodes
Pretty Little Liars - Season 1
The truth may be only one text away in this one-hour series filled with mystery, scandal, intrigue and nail-biting suspense. Based on the best-selling book series for young adults from Alloy, PRETTY LITTLE LIARS is set one year after the disappearance of Alison, the manipulative and vindictive queen bee. The drama revolves around four 16-year-old girlfriends - Aria, Hanna, Spencer and Emily - who have lost touch with one another until each begins to receive mysterious messages suggesting Alison is watching them and knows their most private details they had hoped to keep hidden. Suddenly, living in their picturesque suburban community is far from perfect as secrets, lies and betrayals threaten everything they hold dear.
Meet the Pretty Little Liars. There's Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale), Spencer (Torian Bellisario), Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Emily (Shay Mitchell). When their best friend Alison (Sasha Pieterse) goes missing they begin receiving text messages from an person known as 'A' who is planning to reveal all their secrets which only Alison knows. They quickly begin to suspect Alison is the one behind the text messages but they might have the wrong person. Other characters include Ella Montgomery (Holly Marie Combs), Byron Montgomery (Chad Lowe), Melissa (Torrey Devito) and Pam Fields (Nia Peeples).
"The Jenna Thing"
The circumstances around Ali's disappearance continue to haunt Aria, Emily, Spencer and Hanna as questions arise about the night she went missing. To complicate matters, Jenna Cavanaugh's return to Rosewood makes the girls face an unpleasant past and an incident that sealed their friendship forever. Can the girls face what has taken place, especially since "A" won't let them forget?
"To Kill a Mocking Girl"
The saying "The past will come back to haunt you" is never more true than for Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily. As the girls try to pay tribute to Alison's memory, the four friends are faced with unresolved issues. Aria has an unsettling encounter with Byron's old mistress, Meredith. Emily is forced to see Toby Cavanaugh in a new light. Spencer is reeling in the wake of a vengeful Melissa. And Hanna is desperate to have her boyfriend Sean forget the "old" Hanna. With "A" taunting them every step of the way, how can the girls forge ahead and leave the past behind.
"Can You Hear Me Now"
Tired of being harassed by "A" the girls decide to put a stop to the anonymous e-mails and text messages by blocking all unknown users. But just because the mysterious ghost isn't looming over their heads, the girls' problems are far from over. With a surprise visit by a father, a surprise gift from a prospective paramour, getting some unwanted advice and an unwanted scholarly accolade – the girls' lives continue to get more complicated by the day. And after dealing with all of that, do the Pretty Little Liars really think they could keep "A" away forever?
"Reality Bites Me"
Still reeling from the haunting message scrawled across Spencer's vanity, the next morning the girls discover an additional, even spookier message from "A" – this one in the form of a video that was clearly recording them from the vantage of Spencer's closet. As a penance for crashing Sean's car, Hanna is forced to take a filing job in his mom's office; there, she discovers that Jenna has been seeing a psychiatrist in the same building. After finding out that Sean's been hanging out with another pretty little blonde, Hanna decides to keep close tabs on Sean by joining his abstinence club at school, "Real Love Waits." There, she finds a surprising ally in the equally reluctant Lucas, a nerd that was a former target of Alison's taunts.
"There's No Place Like Homecoming"
Hanna, Spencer, and Emily arrive at Aria's to console her with junk food and rag mags – thinking she's sullen from her father's affair being revealed to her mother by "A," when in fact she's bruised from her tiff with Ezra. The next day, Spencer urges Hanna to try and steal Jenna's file from the psychiatrist's office that's in the same building as where she works, certain that it contains the key to the identity of "A," or at the very least what the Cavanaughs are hiding.
"The Homecoming Hangover"
Aria, Hanna and Spencer mistake Emily's wounds for an attack by Toby, and quickly inform her of his sordid past with stepsister Jenna to keep her from contacting him again. Later, still recovering from her head trauma, Emily awakes to find a surprise visitor: Jenna, who begins to threaten and grill her with questions about her stepbrother's whereabouts. The girls, sans Emily, head toward the shed to hide Toby's file that Hanna stole, but in a panic, Aria decides to throw it in the river instead – moments before Emily finally gets through to their cell phones pleading not to destroy it. Oops!
"Please Do Talk About Me When I'm Gone"
After much planning, the day of Alison's memorial is around the corner and the girls are ready to say their goodbyes. But when Alison's brother Jason arrives, Spencer, Aria, Hanna and Emily quickly learn that saying goodbye is at the bottom of his list. As Jason takes over, and Detective Wilden returns, will the girls be able to celebrate Alison's life in the peaceful and positive way they were hoping for? Meanwhile, Hanna is forced to deal with a situation at home that could really cramp her "it girl" status.
"The Perfect Storm"
A huge storm is on the horizon, as Aria, Spencer, and Hanna study in preparation for the SAT exam the next morning. Emily is nowhere to be found, though. Where's she at? Well, later Emily arrives home, soaking wet, covered in mud, and crying.
"Keep Your Friends Close"
A new piece of evidence leads the police to officially announce that Toby Cavanaugh is wanted for the murder of Alison DiLaurentis, though Emily, Spencer, Aria and Hanna have their doubts they've nabbed the right suspect.
"Moments Later"
Aria, Spencer, and Emily are left unraveled after Hanna is hit by a car, presumably driven by ―A, the night of Mona's glamping party.
"Salt Meets Wound"
The girls wheel their helpless friend Hanna back into her home, where she'll be on bed rest for a few more days before returning to school. There, Hanna quickly discovers the wads of cash that Ashley's been hiding from her mini-heist, which her mother plays off as a "loan."
"Know Your Frenemies"
Aria grows increasingly suspicious of Mike's burgeoning friendship with Noel, especially when Mike tells Byron and Aria at the dinner table, rather unwittingly, that Noel has been spreading a rumor about Mr. Fitz being with one of his students. Ezra is ready to resign from school to protect his relationship with Aria, but not before "A" swoops in and shockingly saves the day – framing Noel for cheating on exams.
"Careful What U Wish 4"
The girls examine the video "A" left for them that illuminates what looks to be the final moments of Alison's life by the Kissing Rock the night she disappeared; right after Ian's cameo on the video, he surprises them in person as he tries to grab a late night snack from the Hastings kitchen – as it's become more clear than ever that danger is always just around the corner in Rosewood.
"If at First You Don't Succeed, Lie, Lie Again"
The Pretty Little Liars still try and brainstorm what the picture "A" left them means, as Spencer goes to seek out Jason DiLaurentis, who's once again hanging around Rosewood. Jason tells Spencer that he's received the same photo she has of Alison the night she disappeared, and goes on to tell her that a private investigator has cleared it as a fake.
"Je Suis une Amie"
Soon after discovering that someone is making it look like she bought the beaded bracelets, Spencer takes a sudden interest in helping tutor Toby, who is still under house arrest. When Spencer shows up to tutor Toby, he cryptically asks her to leave, but not without leaving her with an even more cryptic message written in Braille in the book she lent him.
"The New Normal"
Aria, initially hurt by Hanna's betrayal, learns to forgive her when she realizes they're both contending with a more evil power in "A," who's clearly trying to tear them apart. Meanwhile, After discovering that he's been staying at Rosewood High, Hanna invites Caleb to secretly crash in her basement, leading to both a burgeoning, unlikely friendship between the two and raised eyebrows from her best friends.
"The Badass Seed"
As if Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily don't have enough drama in their lives, Mr. Fitz decides to put on a school production of the award-winning play The Bad Seed, the story about a girl who wreaks havoc on her small town – eerily echoing our Pretty Little Liars' own troubles. The girls urge Aria to be Ezra's stage manager for the production, which backfires when the two prove to have an uncomfortable, awkward working relationship. Meanwhile, after seeing both his wife and daughter take a liking to Mr. Fitz, Byron asks him out for a drink, where the two begin to form a common bond over literature.
"A Person of Interest"
The girls realize they've been duped when the bloody trophy lands them in hotter water than expected, with an angry police team more hell-bent than ever to find Alison's killer, despite these setbacks. Further complicating matters is Garrett Reynolds, a boy the girls all knew growing up in their neighborhood, who's a police officer now that's just been assigned to the case. Back at the Hastings residence, Ian deftly turns the tables on Spencer by taking the spotlight off himself and placing it on her recent, erratic behavior – which has become a growing concern for her family.
"Someone to Watch Over Me"
Spencer is shaken when the investigation that's focused on her leads to the police searching her home. But despite all of her troubles, she continues to form an unlikely friendship with Toby.
"Monsters in the End"
As the town prepares for the annual Founder's Day festival, Spencer's family urges her to make a public appearance after the cops' search warrant. But they also don't want her to see Toby anymore!
"For Whom the Bell Tolls"
In the spring finale, the girls come together to finally uncover Alison's killer and the identity of "A" – but things don't go according to plan…putting all of their plans – and lives – in jeopardy.

I make lists and hang clothes appropriate for jungle, desert, capital city, or snow scene on a rail by my huge wooden packing chest made specially to fit a landing space and to take all my assorted cases. Basics I always take include a mini torch, swimsuit, zipped pack-flat extra suitcase, black padded rain jacket, toiletry bag complete with Swiss army knife, wax earplugs in an eighteenth century patch box - vital to block out the dawn chorus on safari and anything that goes bonk in the hotel night - and a champagne bung. Hotels sometimes kindly present a bottle of fizz and even I can't usually finish it in one go.
Travel writing, they say, provides a champagne lifestyle on a beer budget and my fairly classic high-street store clothes jazzed up with striking ethnic jewellery have to grace the Ritz or the commodore's table. Some clothes do double duty - I once wore a shortie lace nightie to the QE2 captain's cocktail party. Hating shopping, and with no time to buy en route, I try to be self sufficient and take everything I think I could need.
I always use soft-sided wheeled cases. Zipped sides can let in moisture. En route to Ethiopia, corrosive chemicals in the plane hold ate holes in the erogenous zones of my clothes - and Addis Ababa is not the spot for a quick fashion fix.
While I usually wear soft cardigan jacket, tunic shirt, and comfortable trousers for long flights, going to Antarctica in December, I wore a thick jacket, fisherman's sweater, shirt, cord trousers, gloves, scarf and apres- ski boots. Passing through Santiago in eighty degree temperatures, I stood out among the coolly clad locals.
Hand luggage contains cameras, film, spare batteries, several notebooks and writing blocks, favourite paperbacks kept for long trips, and emergency toiletries. I never take technology.
I find the carousel roulette of waiting for checked luggage to reappear, a reorientating limbo between the plane's artificial cocoon and the blast of reality outside the terminal doors. Occasionally luggage goes astray. In South Africa, staying at the Mount Nelson hotel, I was refused service at all the restaurants since I only had a travel stained t-shirt and jeans. So, wrapped in the hotel bathrobe, I lived off room service till my case turned up.

Navardauskas said the fear of being caught in the last metres, like Garmin teammate Jack Bauer, was what drove him to his historic first Lithuanian victory at the Tour de France on Friday.
The 26-year-old broke away from the peloton on a short 1.3km climb 13km from the finish of the 208.5km 19th stage from Maubourguet to Bergerac.
In driving rain, the Lithuanian held on to win by seven seconds ahead of a bunch sprint, with John Degenkolb second and Alexander Kristoff third.
Afterwards he said it was painful memories of New Zealander Bauer's own near miss in Nimes last Sunday that motivated him.
"In all the last kilometres when I had a gap of 25 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, I didn't know what was happening back there," he said.
"I was thinking that maybe the sprinters' teams would chase me down.
"I've no idea what happened, I just went as fast as I can, I kept my speed up and hoped that what happened to Jack wouldn't happen to me.
"It was really sad to see that after he had been going for 200km to be caught in the last 10 metres.
"I went with all my power and at the end I had nothing left in my legs."
Last Sunday Bauer and Swiss champion Martin Elmiger spent the entire 222km stage in the lead only to be caught by the peloton metres from the line.
Bauer was particularly distraught as he had been the one so close to winning.
Elmiger was again in the breakaway on Friday alongside Frenchmen Cyril Gautier and Arnaud Gerard, as well as Navardauskas's Dutch teammate Tom-Jelte Slagter and Estonian Rein Taaramae.
Slagter broke clear of his escape companions with 32km to ride but he was caught by his teammate after Navardauskas powered away from the peloton on the final short climb.
The Lithuanian said that had always been his team's plan.
"Jack Bauer covered some moves and Sebastian Langeveld, all the team was around me and supported me as much as they could."
There were still 13km to cover but the peloton failed to organise a chase and those who were massing at the front were held up by a crash just inside the final 3km.
One to fall was sprint points leader Peter Sagan, who was finally hoping for a stage victory following four second placings at this Tour.
But when he went down, leaving his Cannondale team without a purpose, the chase stalled and Navardauskas was able to easily hold on.
Another who went down in the spill was Frenchman Romain Bardet, placed fifth overall. As the crash happened in the final 3km, though, he lost no time.
Neither did race leader Vincenzo Nibali, who was held up by the spill, as he maintained his 7min 10 sec lead over second placed Frenchman Thibaut Pinot ahead of Saturday's 54km individual time trial.
"Once we'd gone past the 5km to go sign I let myself slide down the pack a bit because once you get inside the final 4km or 3km I wanted to leave space for the sprinters," said Nibali.
"It's important for me not to take risks so I was a bit behind the crash and was able to avoid it."
The battle for the two minor podium places is wide open with only 15 seconds separating Pinot, Jean-Christophe Peraud and Alejandro Valverde.

629 is a great handgun that you will grow to enjoy even more as you grow into it.
A point to remember when shooting hard recoiling handguns that will help you control recoil is to get as high of a grip on the back strap as you can, this will help hold the gun down. Also, try the Hogue Tamer grip as it will soften the recoil considerably on any .44mag.
Now it is time to learn to reload if you do not already. Factory .44mag ammo is hot and when you back off just a little from full pressure loads, the .44 really becomes a pleasure to shoot a lot. I have shot mine 200 rounds in a range session many times with reloads running in the 1150fps range with no ill effects at all. And, the best part about those reloads is the 200 rounds cost me $34.00 if shooting commercial cast bullets or $18.00 if shooting my cast bullets.

TV travel shows venture only as far as they can persuade a celebrity presenter to go. Even then they have to be certain that they'll come back with some pretty pictures. Which explains why they don't do much that's as interesting as Unknown Cities, this week's variation on Radio 3's The Essay strand (weeknights, 10.45am R3).
Here, four exceptional voices describe faraway places of which we know nothing. Well, nothing at the moment, though we may have done in the past and we may do in the future. Nicholas Shakespeare does Hobart in Tasmania, which once supplied the whale oil that kept Victorian London illuminated and was described as "the cesspit of the Empire". Romesh Gunesekera describes Kunming in China and its "surprisingly genuine roadside massage parlours, in which you're pummelled by blind masseurs". Michela Wrong speaks of Asmara, the Eritrean city that still bears the marks of Mussolini's attempts to turn it into the Milan of the Horn of Africa. Best of all is Vanora Bennett's story about Makhachkala, the city in Dagestan with such a worrying reputation that its Wikitravel page practically leads with the legend "Don't go there – please". Even the multimillionaire footballers such as Samuel Eto'o Fils who play in its colours are flown in for the games, returning to their Moscow fastness as soon as the final whistle has gone. Bennett went there to write a book about caviar smuggling, which has made some of the locals so rich they live in an area of the city known as "Santa Barbara".
As power tilts ever eastwards, these cities may become as fixed in our imaginations as Chicago and Paris once were. These 15-minute portraits, expertly paced and beautifully delivered, will set the tone. In time, when each town has its own branch of McDonald's, it's possible the TV people may fly their celebrities there and put pictures to those words.
I suspect it's the name that got Coronation Strasse (Saturday, 10.30am R4) commissioned. Although Germany's long-running soap Lindenstraße was originally inspired by the Weatherfield drama, it doesn't seem to have much in common, though I enjoyed the leading actor's laconic recap of her character's CV: "I've been playing Tanya for 26 years. When I was 15 I became a tennis star. I fell in love with the lover of my mother, my mother killed herself, my father drunk himself to death, my sister died of cancer, then I got into being an escort girl. I got saved by a guy who's 30 years older and was in a wheelchair, then I got a lesbian lover who tried to kill my husband, who then killed my lesbian lover. Then I found a new love and I got a child with another woman, who left me for another man, and now I live alone with my child. I'm a hairdresser."
Ode To Finchleystrasse (Wednesday, 11am R4) is the latest in the Journeys Down My Street series, about the UK's long-established immigrant communities. It's covered Poles in Bradford, Somalis in Cardiff, and now the German and Austrian Jews who fled Hitler in the 1930s and ended up living around the famed north London artery within easy reach of the now-late Cosmo Cafe. The title comes from the recollection of one Austrian Jew that the bus conductors would announce their arrival at Finchley Road thusly. The programme-makers are so tickled with their title that they overplay their hand, asking another elderly interviewee whether she can remember it being called that. "No," she says.

Tapia leads Mets over Manatees
Tapia leads Mets over Manatees
Pitcher Domingo Tapia led the St. Lucie Mets to a 3-2 win over the Brevard County Manatees on Wednesday at Space Coast Stadium.
Tapia stifled the Manatees over seven shutout innings. He allowed three singles, three walks and forced three double plays.
Jairo Perez sparked the Mets offense. He was involved in all three runs, driving in two with a single in the first against Hobbs Johnson and scoring the third and final run for the Mets in the fourth on Eudy Pina's sac fly. Perez went 3 for 4.
Randy Fontanez earned the save. The Mets took a 3-0 lead to the final frame but Nicky Delmonico doubled home Tyrone Talyor to put the Manatees on the board. With two outs, Alfredo Rodriguez drove in Delmonico to make it 3-2.
Johnson took the loss. He gave up three runs, two earned, and four hits over six innings.
Brandon Nimmo went 1 for 4 with a run and a steal after injuring his left ankle the previous night.
Aderlin Rodriguez went 0 for 4 in his first game off the disabled list.
The Mets (31-21) snapped a two-game losing streak.
On deck: The Mets (31-21) host the Manatees (26-25) at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Tradition Field.

The Monocacy and Catoctin Watershed Alliance (MCWA) is coordinated by the Office of Sustainability and Environmental Resources and is a mutual, collaborative, non-advocacy effort among individuals and organizations desiring to work together to improve the health of the Monocacy and Catoctin watersheds. Growing out of more than two years of action planning for the Monocacy Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS), a Frederick County coordinated and State assisted local planning process, participants decided to continue their affiliation and cooperation at its conclusion in order to help foster WRAS plan implementation.
Mission Statement
The Monocacy & Catoctin Watershed Alliance coordinates the efforts of a diverse group of stakeholders dedicated to the protection and restoration of the natural resources in the Monocacy & Catoctin watersheds.
Vision Statement
We envision a broadening and deepening stewardship ethic among an informed citizenry, which will help protect the County's agricultural heritage and rural character, maintain and improve the quality of life, protect and treasure our natural resources, and manage future growth more wisely. We envision healthy streams and rivers with forested buffers supplying clean drinking water and supporting healthy communities of aquatic and terrestrial life, as well as diverse and popular recreational uses. We envision a healthy and vibrant agricultural community built on links with citizens who support local agricultural and renewable forest products. We envision increasingly concentrated residential development using conservation design principles with access to collective transportation modes and a web of well-maintained trails. We envision watershed conservation folks from all sectors and communities collaborating to implement effective conservation and restoration practices and foster a creative stewardship consciousness.

The Talk againMature
There are few hells worse than what someone can create for themselves in their own mind. Thankfully Henry thankfully is right on time. I immediately offer to buy him a drink; he refuses me saying he won't be here long. I ask what the hell's he so pissed at me for. What he tells me saddens me but fails to surprise me. Man's sick of me being a killjoy and pissed that I turned his birthday into another day about me. In the early hours of the morning he had decided to go looking for me. He found me in the casino car park 'off my fucking tits' so much that when he tried to help me I gave him a black eye in return. Despite this he got me home. A last favour for a friend he used to like, before I became this mess that hurts myself and drives people away. Let me say, Henry's not smart in fact he's kind of an idiot sometimes. To drive him away I've really fucked everything up, beyond even what I thought was possible. I could resolve to change but would I? Can I even with whatever I've got myself involved in? I mean if cosmic gods are real what my personal battles even matter. I only know one thing. I have to get out of this game. Even if it costs me my life, I feel losing to these things would leave me in a state worse than death. Today was proved that to me.
I carry on drinking until eleven. Slightly tipsy I start heading up to the church only stopping at a fried chicken take out on my way up. The food is greasy and leaves a bad taste in my mouth but it makes me feel alive. On the way up to the church I finally realise that drug from casino has not worn off, somehow earlier I was too caught up in my own problems to notice, the images I see aren't quite as vivid as what I saw with the old man but there are little things are everywhere. And I instinctively know what all these things are. I see a leech of the abyss sucking a man's brain dry whilst impregnating him with an egg sized tumour, I see a multiversal vampire feeding on the very cracks of our reality, I even see one of our stalwart protectors an angelic leucocyte involved in an epic fight in the sky against the invading forces of the drooling imbecilic child king, if it loses this world dies, burning in fire, semen and mild insanity. That high up it just looks like a better than average firework display. I continue on arriving at the church I throw the take out box to the ground head to the doors of the kinda unimpressive unassuming traditional Catholic Church and I knock. 'Hellooooooo creey weirdos, is anyone home do you heaaaaaar me'
The door creaks open.
