Another player trying to beat micros
Hello, I am playing on PS, it will be a year soon. The micros I play are the lowest, NL2. I at first wanted to accumulate some "played hands" before making an analysis of it - to have a proper representative sample that can help me.
But I just either can't understand what I am doing wrong or how to fix the leak, stop slowly bleeding. I use PokerTracker for keeping an eye on my hands and these stats are based on 105,233 hands I have played since January 1st:
BB/100: -2.59 - very slowly bleeding
CBet F: 53.16
Fold to F CBet: 82.39
Total AF - 3.26
the rake of about $100 this year
there are more stats if you want/need
I've tried reading forums - problems and questions of others and let it make me a better player. When I started I had a big problems remembering all the slang poker words, all the concepts (smile or not, but "call 20" took me some time to understand).
I try to be a very systematic person, if the pocket pair I have preflop has ~12% chance to make a triple, I understand that it sometimes won't make a triple for 30 ocassions and yet sometimes it will make a triple every third hand. I try to look on the bigger picture, the long run. Thus why I first accumulated these statistics, while trying to absorb the poker know-what. I also tried books, but find many of these hints and guides either very difficult to understand, or the concepts difficult to use on these lowest of all - NL2.
I use some kind of custom made HUD to have some read on players, I limit myself (because I am beginner) not to play on 10 windows like some more skilled do - yet I use PS tagging (colours) system to see how many tables a person plays on. Green are 1-2, cyan are 3-9, blue are 10-19, dark blue are 20+. I mark with purple those who have "tables currently on" hidden and just look at list of NL2 tables currently on and count how many times these "purple" players are there, then assign appropriate colour.
I have tried to analyse my most (C-lost) losing hands and I often lose to hands like Full house, Flush, Four of a kind.
All in all, last year I was bleeding big time, losing fast and furiously - since January 1st I have slowed it down a lot, but am still steadily losing. Very slowly, mind you, but I am. Thus I am asking you for help, Cardschat players.
Hi. I play 2nl as well on Pokerstars and full tilt. I can tell you that the stake can be beat by playing tight like you seem to be. I assume this is full ring stats. Without any knowledge on your play and going off just what I struggled with personally; I would have you take a look at your hands where you are losing the most.
Getting it in too light is something that held me back before. I still do honestly but not nearly as bad.
Players at this level pretty much play with their cards face up. As far as marking all these different players; you'll grow tired of that. I now only mark the fish and maniacs. If a reg makes some awful play I'll mark him.
Priorities at this level for me are 1. Bankroll management 2. Get value. Have Patience. 3. No Slow-playing unless quads or top full house. 4. Raise or fold unless set mining. 5. Don't get it in light
Hope this helps. This level is a circus but its full of bad players. That's what we want.
1) If by BM you mean - not to play too high stakes, then by playing the lowest I should pass this goal. I intend to move up only when I win back what I lost over the months - so far, after 9 months of playing, the game cost me about $120. For someone for example from USA, that wouldn't be much. For me, it's nothing disastrous that would ruin me - I have much more money saved, but I only add another $20-$25 when I lose what I have.
2) The patience thing is something I hope I am getting right. At least something and you have to start somewhere, build block by block eh?
3) I'm a bit guilty there, mostly due to my cluelessness when to play aggressively. In other words, I try NOT to slow play, but often fail to push-to-fold well and end up losing money
4)2 factors why I mostly set mine. I have quite low VPIP, so a lot of hands I play are pocket pairs which I set mine. Second reason is that (and you can laugh if you want, or at least grin) when being dealt TT, JJ, QQ - I often play them badly - one or two higher cards on table scare me easily and it's suddenly much more difficult to play (well).
I can't begin to count how many times I CBetted with QQ on flop like 2-6-K (no suit draw) or even with QQ on flops like 4-7-J (no suit draw) - having my CBet re-raised. So many times I found myself slowly or fastly got into big pots which I lost because the villain slow played AA or KK. So many times.
Yeah, man! Keep on grinding! I feel that you are on the right path. Just have patience and try to get as much value as possible from each hand. Even from those, that you don't play - try to get a read on your opponents. Take notes on each player - some little information can be critical to completely drain a player's bankroll empty.
Also, play your big hands the same way you play your small hands / bluffs. Although, I would not suggest bluffing almost ever. Especially in these limits.
Umm, as for BM - a good rule of thumb is to move up a limit when you have about 80 - 100 buy-ins of the previous one (e.g. you should consider moving on from NL $2 once you have about $160 - $200 and you feel that you are consistently making a profit).
Good luck and try to learn something new every time you play!
Blackrain has a book, search the forums to find the site. When I could play on PS I played very similar to him, and with him a lot as well. I respected his play before he put the book out etc. If it is still anything remotely like it was when black friday hit the US players then follow his advice, and profit.
Here is his youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/BlackRain79Poker
^ I watched his intro video
And he raises 5 important points. As the video is short and easy to understand, I will answer it here too:
1)My VPIP of 12 should be OK
2)I CBet when I connect and even when I don't, I hope to have some representative stats on the villain (his Fold to CBet rating high)
3)As he says, it's very hard to learn/master/remember this, to play in position. I see the advantages of being in position - more info on villain, how he reacts. But mastering this? Far from it
4)Very difficult to find fishes nowadays, most players that are on NL2 tables (full ring - 9 players) have VPIP under 20.
Yeah, sometimes I see a player who is clearly a fish, raising a lot, bleeding dollars like a crazy. But they are rare. And there are 7 other players hungry for the fish, mostly skilled players. It seems to me at least.
5)No sell, being on tilt is something I try to avoid. Not saying I never tilt, but I trust I can avoid it, as I am a man of logical thinking, statistics is my god :-D so to say.
^ Out of these three, I have a patience and I don't bluff (except as I mentioned - when I bluff against those I suppose will fold).
I don't Value Bet often enough though (at least I think).
EDIT: I actually find joy in patience. When I resist the temptation to act rashly, out of emotions instead of logic, I feel a bit better every time I do that.
I am not sure though if I understand what you (and others) are trying to say with Bankroll management. When looking at the site where which I read first in my poker play - Pokerstars school
then I can say I am recreational player, not depositing more money than about 2% of my monthly income. These money I consider a "learning cost" - to learn I have to play a lot of hands, which will mean (at first) to lose a bit.
As a rec player, I am playing with 10-times buy-in. When I lose those 10 times due to bad beats for examples, I will deposit more, no big deal. I will not move higher outside my comfort zone.
Thus I think I fulfill the requirements of bankroll management according to that PSO article.
My plan is simply to turn the tide - change "slowly losing" into steady at 0 and then slowly winning. When I win ALL what I lost so far + enough to move up higher in stakes, I will do so. Not until then.
Do you have poker tracker going or Holdem manager?
Bankroll management regiment I subscribe to is 40 buyins for cash games. You will hear some cringing advice from people on online forums saying you need 80-100 buyins. Personally I think that is insanely conservative. But I am a winning player over 130k hands at 2nl. 50 buyins I think is the maximum you should hit before taking a shot at the next level.
I have taken two shots Thus far and failed at 5nl. Also one drunken 10nl shot that set me back $60. In turn I dropped back down to 2nl and have grinded back up. I spend 80% of my time on the tables and 20% watching videos and reading about poker.
I think it's highly beneficial to post your hands for analysis. Mainly ones you've lost, tricky spots. Brags are cool but we don't learn from those quads man! Haha.
Hope this helps
re: Poker & Another player trying to beat micros
^ Yeah. these quads are so OverPowered - when they come.
I don't drink, but I like to play on friday/saturday nights to see if I can catch some drunk fishes :-) I may be new, but I try to maximalize my chances.
About buy-ins. PokerSchoolOnline gives 10 (for recreational player), others give 20. You give 40 Buy-ins and talk about some saying up to 80-100. I think that 40 buy-ins is OK for the far future when I am ready to move up the stakes.
But I am not ready yet, so it doesn't matter, all I can play is NL2 so that's what I am playing.
Here's the position one:
I like stats, they will tell you a lot of things if you have big enough sample. Not saying 1.000.000 wouldn't be better, but better 100k, than 10k.
Say everyone folds to you preflop and you're on the BTN and have something like J9 suited or A5 suited, something you usually wouldn't want to open UTG. If you do open there are only two others left to act (the SB and BB). Lots of times they are just going to fold, which is fine. You get their blinds and you didn't even need to see a flop, very nice. Sometimes you will get called though. Maybe the SB folds and the BB flat calls. Now, since you are in position, you will get to see what his action is first. Say the flop comes Q72 rainbow (no flush draws) and the BB checks. It's unlikely he has much of anything on a dry flop like that so you can pretty safely continuation bet (cbet) as a bluff and get him fold most of the time.
Of course that is just an overly simple example and there are a lot of other factors to consider like player types, stacks sizes, your table image, etc. The point is it is much easier to play hands when you are in position, therefore you can play more of them. You generally want to have a gradual increase in your VPIP/PFR as your position gets later and later. Tightest UTG and widest on the BTN.
I will do a bit of searching for some useful posts that may explain this better. If you don't understand please let me know and I will try to explain it more clear.
re: Poker & Another player trying to beat micros
Your VPIP and PFR are a little low for 6 max and your fold to Cbet is too high. If people see that on their hud they will cbet you everytime because they know you're a nit. This is something you need to look up and fix.
At 2nl another good thing to learn is 3-betting. Know when to do it and when to call or 4-bet.
I just looked at your link. You need be aware of your position and this will actually tie in with 3-betting.
Not saying you are wrong though.
I grabbed a screen shot of some FR stats of mine from a long time ago (a few years so things have changed since then) to give you an example of what widening your range in position looks like. It's only over about a month but hopefully it gives you a clearer idea.
Now I'm not saying that this is the best way to play, or I am some poker expert, far from it. I don't play much FR anymore and I am in the US so my payer pool is very limited. I'm not sure how the general populations play at FT or PS anymore so take my comments with a grain of salt. I'm not claiming that these stats are perfect in any way, they are not. This is just an example to help explain what I was talking about before.
As you can see I was playing super tight in EP, but as my position got later I started to play more hands. My VPIP and PFR almost tripled by the time we reach the button. My overall VPIP and PFR are only a few percentage points higher than yours, but my VPIP on the button is nearly double. That means I am seeing a lot more flops in position and opponents running a HUD won't know exactly what my range is from there. I'll be able to bluff a lot more boards and take them down when I don't have much of anything, and it will help me get paid off when I have a big hand. It's just much easier to play hands when you are in position so you want to be doing that as much as possible.
Another thing of interest is the RFI stat (Raise First In). You can see that at ~40%. That means that 40% of the time when everyone folds to me on the button preflop I am raising. I do that for various reasons. Obviously when I have premium hands I'm raising, but I'll also do it with much worse hands when table conditions are good. Like if there are nits in the blinds with a high Fold BB to Steal stat. When that is high enough I can raise/steal with almost any two cards since they are folding so often. Or I can raise if they have a high Fold to Flop Cbet stat. If they don't fold preflop I can take it down when they miss and check it to me postflop. Of course when the players in the blinds are more loose and/or aggressive I will do this significantly less since it's much more likely they will play back at me. Recognizing spots like that will help you improve your win-rate and will also help a falling red line (not that that is a huge deal right now imo).
The RWPC (Raise With Previous Callers) is another stat to look at. That is the percentage of times, well, that I'm raising with previous callers. So if a player(s) open limps and I am on the button, I raise about 24% of the time (hopefully isolating the limper). Again, table conditions dictate just how wide I am doing this. I have to make sure there aren't aggressive players in the blinds that may 3bet. I target limpers that have a high Fold to Flop Cbet since I can push them off there hands postflop or are prone to limp folding a lot. Or just all around bad players that I feel I have an edge postflop against.
Please don't take this to the extreme and just start raising anything and everything in late position. That is sure to end horribly, and you will likely blow your bankroll. I would take at look at what your ranges are from EP and chop off the bottom few percent. Add them back in along with some other more marginal hands to your BTN or, to a lesser extent your CO and HJ ranges.
So say you are playing something like 22+, ATs+, ATo+, KQs from EP. You could drop maybe all pocket pairs 55-22, ATo, and ATs from your EP ranges. Keep them in your later position open ranges, but add maybe some suited aces, some higher suited connectors like 98s and T9s, suited broadways. Start slowly and as you get more confidence start to add a bit more. If it starts to get uncomfortable take a few of them out.
(Note that I say opening ranges, so when it gets folded around to you or there are weaker limpers before you. Don't confuse this for me saying to 3bet these hands. That is a whole different subject).
Playing these more marginal hands will mean you need to have a decent idea of some basic postflop strategies. Like which players to target and which to avoid. Or what board textures are more or less likely to connect with different player types. When and why you are betting. Things like that. I can give you some links to helpful articles if you would like. Some are sort of outdated, but they have helped me a lot.
One thing you can do to see how other winning regulars at your stakes are playing is just filter for those players. Pick some people that you have lots of hands on and are winning or breakeven-ish and see how their stats say they are playing. You can also filter for the times they went to showdown and use your hand replayer to see how they are playing various hands. If anything it will help you understand what they are doing and you can come up with a gameplan on how to best play against them.
The way it seems to me now is that anyone with a decent amount of hands against you is going to see you are playing a very static, face up preflop range. When they can be relatively sure what range you're playing preflop they can exploit you to no end. Bluffing you when your range likely missed, trapping you with their monsters when they know they are likely to be ahead, folding to all of your value bets, etc. I'm not sure how many people at 2NL are running HUDs or have tons of hands on you, I'm sure there are more nowadays, but I'm sure there are a decent amount.
All in all I don't think you are playing terrible. You're playing a bit too tight which isn't so bad, much better than playing too loose imo. If you can work on opening up a bit and playing well postflop you should be able to beat the micro stakes.
Again, I'm not claiming to be a great player, I'm not. I have a lot of my own game to work on. But these are things that helped me get better and grind out multiple bankrolls over the years, and I think once you figure them out it will help you too. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I will do my best to explain them. Sorry for the wall of text. I just thought there were some things I could say to help you out. Hopefully they do
Before replying further, there's something I want to share with you (all), but what inspired me was your thinking about how FR is. In my 9 month experience, they are very tigh. I may not be the best player (far from it, even more than you), but my database - stats on players - is getting bigger every day.
I have read many times that NL2 micros is infested with many fishes. But what if it's just and legend now, what if it was true in past years and nowadays these tables are quite tight? Because when I look at my PT database which tracks about
1)14.000 players I've encountered during my 9 month play, their VPIP is 20,84 and their PFR is 10,39 - including fishes and ultra tight players. That seems pretty good players in NL2 PS Europe.
Is it true that in past, the game was looser with more fishes?
2)When I look at players with more than 42 hands (5700 players, 770.000 hands), their VPIP is only 18.58 and PFR 10.07
3)But when I look only at players with more than 100 hands I am tracking, their VPIP is 16,71 and PFR 9,79 (out of 551.000 hands and 2.100 players)
4)I have stats on 34 players with more than 1000 hands, so good stats on those - VPIP of 14,71 and PFR 8,83.
When I look at BlackRain's videos - and when I read guides how to play poker on internet, the solution is often given "wait for fishes", exploit them. When reading about "typical average" hands, there are often talks about 2 limpers there, 2 reraises there. But in my experience, many hands are with uncontested pots, or with one raise and everyone else folding. Not so often you see 3 players in a hand and very rarely 4+.
Mostly, tables at NL2 PS are full of VPIP 10-20 players.
I hope that above stats are useful to back my hypothesis that NL2 are full of too good players. Am I wrong?
If you feel like $2nl is full of good players. I can honestly tell you that your poker journey is going to be rough if you have any aspirations of moving up in levels.
Sure you will run into alot of nits and LAG stat players. Way more at $5nl. But that doesn't make these players good. They make poor decisions and this coins them Bad Regs. Also there are maniac players to be seen too. As well as regular fish. Expecially on the weekend.
I have 48k hands at $2nl on Pokerstars last month. 3.09bb/100
I am not crushing but I began 24 tabling and table selecting to my best ability while playing. *that is hard*
Truth is I'm a bad reg too. I make poor decisions but they don't cost as much at this level. Always learning.
re: Poker & Another player trying to beat micros
I wanted to add this :
reference article: http://www.blackrain79.com/2015/05/how-to-deal-with-poker-downswings-and.html
Of course this is an article about downswings, but I think it speaks to poker as a whole.
"we all get frustrated with this game in the short run at times but there is a long term pure mathematical nature to poker which is the great equalizer. That is, everybody will eventually get dealt all of the same hands (both good and bad) in equal frequencies. Therefore, everybody will eventually experience all of the same downswings and short term "bad luck." " - blackrain79
This is something I read today that is pure gold. The past two days I have ran into 10 sets with my overpairs, and lost the maximum. Man what if I found a way to get away from those hands? I would be nearly 7 or 8 BI up without those loses. I know what its like to be on the good end of that hand situation.
My point is in the quote. If you and I can learn to get away, that will separate us from the bad regs. Because odds are if you have over 100k hands at this level like I do and you haven't been able to move on, there are holes like this in your game.
Anyway look forward to your thoughts.
^ True, the cost of my 9 months playing poker, improving my skills is kind of low - good investment as I call it.
Just disregard the word "good" I used and look at the stats. As I said, when I look at hand replays from few years ago, guides and videos, I see and hear about a lot of fish, mostly obvious by their VPIP. Yet when I play at the NL2 tables, I see tight players everywhere with ocassional potentional fish, who is quickly devoured by the other, more skilled tight players.
The higher the stakes, the more difficult. That's how it always was and I believe it. But wouldn't you agree that micros, including NL2 has become harder and so new players like me has it more difficult and have to work very hard to learn?
If so, I'm up to it, I took this challenge 9 months ago and I am a man who takes challenges head on, slowly and systematically. But I need to know if the terrain, the table players texture has changed from what it was several years ago.
Just look at the stats.
I've just started playing again on Bovada and while I have less than 10k hands at 5NL and 10NL there are tons of fish. It's common for a 6max table to have 2 or 3 players running 60/10, 25/3, and 55/40. Granted it's only over 50 or 100 hands or so, but that is pretty common there. Of course sometimes I sit at a table and there is no one with a VPIP over 30 or so after a few orbits. When that happens it's time to drop that table and find another. I haven't played FR on Bovada so I can't comment on the fish population there, but I am fairly sure it's similar.
When I was able to play on PS and FT it's true the tables usually had at least 2 or 3 bad players, often times more. When there wasn't, there were so many tables running that you could just drop that one and find another. I don't know how the traffic is on PS nowadays, it probably is tighter than years past, but I find it hard to believe that the majority of 2NL players are now solid. Sure they are probably a bit better preflop, but they are likely making lots of mistakes postflop.
How aggressively are you table selecting? When you sit at a table for a few orbits and you can see there aren't any bad players it's probably time to leave that table and find another. You should be able to tell within those first 30 or so hands (probably even less than that). Filter the lobby for average players to flop percentage and try to sit at the top tables.
You keep giving stats and saying how tight the games are. If the games are as tight as you say, then you need to loosen up (or even better find looser tables if at all possible). You need to be playing more hands in position that can flop big hands or big draws (suited connectors, small pocket pairs, suited aces, etc). You need to learn how to play those hands on certain board textures and how they relate to your opponents range.
I feel that most of what I said in my previous post still applies. Open more hands in the CO and BTN targeting players that are prone to giving up postflop or folding to steals too often. Sometimes you'll steal the blinds preflop. Sometimes you'll take the pot down without a hand postflop. Sometimes you'll even flop a huge hand.
Another thing you may want to study is 3betting light. I remember when I was first starting I had a ridiculous Fold to 3bet stat, like 90%. For obvious reasons this was easily exploitable for anyone that had enough hands on me. Versus players with a high stat like that you can practice 3betting them with hands like small suited aces. Hands that have potential postflop, are easy to let go if they 4bet you, and even better when they have blockers making the odds they contain a high ace less likely. Use moderation if you experiment with this. If someone opens from EP it's probably a bad idea to 3bet them light. You'll want to be more inclined to try this when you're on the BTN and say the HJ or CO opens.
Here are a few threads that I would recommend reading and studying. They are a bit dated (for example he lists small pocket pairs as a limping range which at that time was fine, but nowadays it's probably not ideal to be open limping), but they are really useful and most of what he says still holds true. They're all written by the CC member ChuckTs. His posts helped my game more than I could ever have imagined.
Microstakes FR Guide
Continuation bets (http://www.cardschat.com/f11/continuation-bets-83224/)
Why are you betting? (http://www.cardschat.com/f11/why-you-betting-189182/)
Watching another of BlackRain's videos, slowly crunching to the posts you guys wrote. I have updated my HUD also with few of BR's things I saw as useful (I had "fold to f cbet", but added also Fold to River and Turn Cbet).
Table selection - so without any paid app telling me, I will have to use this? Playing at tables with most "avg pot per hour" ? Is there any other free way?
I'm not sure exactly what the image is. There is usually a tab in the poker lobby that is Average Players to the Flop percentage. You want to try to find tables that have the largest amount of players seeing flops since that usually means there are fishier opponents.
^ Also, answering your question, I play on 2 tables. I find it of right balance between fast and slow. Tried playing on 1 table, but I regularly got reckless. 4 and more tables at once and I was doing stupid mistakes. 2 tables - enough to keep it moving, given that I play not so many hands that I fold majority of them.
I switched "view" and I see pls/flop now, thanks.

His story
Rolf Snoeren, 45, fashion designer
I met Viktor during the entrance exams at Arnhem art academy when we were 18. I instantly liked him. He had brilliance, fireworks, genius. Even so, I don't think we ever made a conscious choice to start working together – it just happened. The first time we tried to was for a big European design contest in the south of France. We didn't even have a name. But we won the three main prizes and that gave us a boost to continue. As the judges said: "Viktor and Rolf, come on stage," we thought: "That sounds good."
It's not like: "This is our working relationship and that's where it ends" – everything's mixed. It makes working easier because we're just always in touch. Viktor's everything for me, so I can't really say what he means to me in a few words. We have a lot of respect for each other, and a nonjudgmental partnership. Whatever the other one is saying is valid and we talk about it. It's funny how analytical we are about everything that happens around us and we don't really analyse how we are working together. I know it works, but why it works is a mystery.
Outside work we are both quite introverted. We're a little bit like outsiders. But these days we are more easygoing; we at least try to live in the moment a bit more. We like to read gossip magazines on the plane; I practise Ashtanga yoga, which is my escape from the whole fashion system.
I think some sort of provocation is very much in our DNA. We can't help it. In 2008 we did a whole collection about the word "no" because we didn't feel like doing another season. We, together, can be rebellious in different ways. It's a big gift in a way, our achievements.
His story
Viktor Horsting, 45, fashion designer
Rolf's my best friend, so we share everything from our problems and our personal lives to every work decision. It's like a constant ping-pong game. We have the same analytical approach and we can both overanalyse things. When we talk, it's always like: "Why? Why should something be so and so, and why?" We always try to come up with a reason.
We don't have separate tasks: we have a big office with one table and two chairs and that's where we sit and work together. We take all our meetings together, like this interview. The strength of being a duo is that if you're having a lot of self-doubt, the other one can be stronger. It's easier to switch off now, though, than before. Now things are more organised because we have a bigger team.
We don't meticulously style our outfits to go with the other. If we have an occasion then we'll drop each other an email to ask what the other is wearing, just to get the vibe. But we're always co-ordinated because we have the same style of dressing: you want to look smart but you don't want to look stuffy and old. It's really a matter of taste.
When we're not working we have fun, laugh, walk the dog. I love Rolf's dog, Little Swan, especially since my own dog died last year. They hated each other. Little Swan is such a diva. Once, we had a fitting with Grace Jones and Grace wanted to pet her. But Little Swan turned her head and blanked her. She blanked Grace Jones! Luckily Grace thought it was funny.
If people find us mysterious, I love it. There's so little mystery left. Our relationship also works because it works, because the chemistry is right. And that's the mystery, perhaps.
Viktor and Rolf's new fragrance, Bonbon, launches on 20 April

It is now a cliche that writing "sorry I haven't been blogging" is a grotesque party foul akin to dropping trou and taking a dump in the punchbowl, so I shan't do that. Besides, there's no reason to be sorry, because nobody is entitled to my writings. (Or perhaps it would be better to say more ambiguously that nobody deserves my writings.)
Suffice it to say that I'm on a hiatus. At least one very major component of this is a surge of work: new cases, some on short fuses, with huge volumes of all-day tasks, leaving very little time or energy to write insightful things and/or punchbowl-crapping jokes.
That's not the only component, of course. It varies from day to day. Suffice it to say that there are days when a blank page is an unspeakably forebidding gulf. I can dive into that gulf out of duty — like for clients — but I don't have a duty to you, gentle reader, as it turns out.
I could talk more about that. Certainly other people do, and have, and I admire them for it. But recently I feel less inclined to talk about personal things. I've always been more of a life-details slut than my co-bloggers, which very arguably represents good judgment on their part. I'm pretty sure Patrick and David and Clark haven't had web pages put up accusing them of being probable child molesters and trash-talking about their families. Yes, my inclination to write about some things is impaired by the fact that through my writing here, and related pro bono activites, I've accumulated a small but noisy number of vile and bad-crazy stalker-trolls. Even when I am moved to write about something personal, I pause and think — how might these trolls use this against me? Even if I write only metaphorically —
— will the troll-stalkers be incorporating it into their deranged and threatening faxes to my managing partner, or sending it to the California State Bar, or writing odd web pages about it linked to my name? My preferred response is "screw you, I'm writing it anyway." But that's not where I am just at the moment. Not today.
I'll be back. My hiatus will end — in part when this surge of work ebbs. Other things, too, have their natural ebb and flow.
For now, tell me this: are there things that you won't write about now because of your online experiences? Have things happened to you online that have made you more circumspect in what you blog or otherwise write about?
Edit: By the way, I am way, way behind on responding to correspondence. I like correspondence. I appreciate it. I hope to do better with it. Please feel free to re-send if you did not get an answer.

What do you do when the one thing you love most in the world is the one thing threatening to destroy you?
When you look at a mountain, what do you see?
Most people see something big. Something that is immovable, something immutable. Something that lacks the ability to change because it's not alive—at least, not in the way that we think of something being alive. And yet, mountains do change. They grow, and they shrink. Wind and rain erode craggy peaks. Earthquakes splinter rocky flanks. Rivers carve out deep channels in the rock, transporting soil and sediment along furious rapids in the spring and gentle waves in the fall. In this manner, the summit of a mountain can one day reach its base. Eventually even the highest peak in the world will succumb to its own gravity and the natural forces that created it, and it will disappear from the earth. Mountains do change, but they do so on such a grand scale, over millions of years, that we do not see it.
And yet I have always equated mountains with change. The trajectory of my life has been determined by them, upon them. I have made choices on mountains that carried consequences all the way back down to sea level—after all, for every choice you make, you reject something else. I have found true passion in the uphill struggle and felt intense peace upon reaching the summit. And I have suffered, too.
People ask me all the time why I climb mountains. They asked that a lot after my dad died on one. I didn't have an answer for them then, and I don't now. I can't truthfully say that the rewards are worth the pain—at least, not for most people. So much of the time mountaineering is nothing more than a slow, steady slog on glacial terrain so steep you can touch the slope with a hand held straight out. So often, I climb for hours on end only to be turned back from the summit by a storm that moves faster than I do, or a teammate's old injury that flares up under the strain of the work. I've sworn off climbing a thousand times by now. And yet it's only a matter of time before the mountains draw me back. In the end, the memories of pain and fear and loss are always conquered by the sheer exhilaration of it all, the desire to go ever higher, to one day touch the sky.
Why do I climb? I guess it's just something native in me, something that can't stay down. Sometimes I think I've spent more of my life in the mountains than in my own home. Sometimes I think they are one and the same.

JUSTPAC, the political committee of the Illinois Civil Justice League, raised $165,500 between July 1 and Oct. 3, according to the group's pre-election campaign disclosure form filed today.
The pro-business/tort reform group, which has been involved in several high-spending Illinois judicial campaigns, is a leading opponent of Supreme Court Justice Tom Kilbride. The Democratic justice is running in a retention election to hold another 10-year term on the state's high court.
Much of the money JUSTPAC reported receiving in its pre-election report is came from businesses and groups in the medical and insurance fields. Among the contributions received by JUSTPAC are: $50,000 from the American Tort Reform Association; $30,000 from the Illinois State Medical Society PAC; $10,000 from CNA (a commercial property and casualty insurance provider); and $20,000 from ISMIE Mutual Insurance Company.
Kilbride has been targeted by medical malpractice reform supporters and business groups in part for his participation in a 4-2 majority decision which struck down some caps on jury awards.
In addition to that money, JUSTPAC on Monday reported receiving another $20,000 from the Illinois State Medical Society today.
JUSTPAC's campaign report filing came just minutes after the Democratic Party of Illinois filed its activity report. The party's report showed it has given Kilbride's committee $1.25 million.

UPDATE 4-Toronto stocks fall with weak financials, oils
(Adds details)
* TSX falls more than 200 points as financials weigh
* Inflation worries hit banks, consumer stocks
* Oil stocks weaken despite stronger oil price
By Cameron French
TORONTO, June 20 (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index fell more than 200 points on Friday as financial issues were hurt by inflation fears and worries over more U.S. mortgage-related problems, while consumer stocks also fell.
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE slid 209.48 points, or 1.42 percent, to close at 14,580.67, as all ten TSX subgroups lost ground.
Inflation worries weighed on both financials and consumer stocks, after Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said late on Thursday that rising energy prices could lead to higher inflation.
"There's some worry that interest rates may not fall any further, and may even start to rise, which in turn would squeeze the banks' margins," said Gavin Graham, chief investment officer at Guardian Group of Funds. Continued...

Rodallega rocket isn't enough to pull off fight back at Loftus RoadQueens Park Rangers 3Helguson 33, 81Buzsaky 40Wigan Athletic 1Rodallega 66Report by Nick TaylorIt was a game of spectacular goals and set pieces, both saved and scored today as Hugo Rodallega scored a contender for goal of the month with a curling right-footed free kick but, QPR put forward their contenders as well.QPR went ahead with a Heidar Helguson penalty following a handball in the box by James McCarthy. They then made it 2-0 through an Akos Buzsaky free kick before half time. Rodallega's strike gave Latics hope but then QPR were given another penalty which was expertly saved by Ali Al HabsiOn 81 minutes the game was finished off when Tommy Smith smashed a shot in from 35 yards.Latics travelled to a blustery and rainy London with three changes to their team as Steve Gohouri replaced the injured Antolin Alcaraz, Ben Watson came in for Albert Crusat and Emmerson Boyce coming in for Ronnie Stam.In what was QPR manager Mark Hughes' first game, Latics almost made it very uncomfortable twice within the first seven minutes of the game. Firstly through Gohouri who found space in the area from a free kick but, saw his placed shot edge just wide of the post and then Victor Moses found space down the left hand side but, his ball across goal seemed to be in slow motion and nobody could get onto the end of it.Al Habsi was in wonderful form once again this afternoon and he pulled off a string of saves that kept the game level but, when McCarthy gave away a penalty for handball, there was nothing the keeper could do about as Helguson tucked the ball into the bottom corner despite the Omani diving the right way.It then became worse for Latics as another foul was made, this time by Gohouri on the edge of the area and Buzsaky punished the Ivorian defender and his team mates as he whipped the ball over the wall and into the net.Roberto Martinez ringed the changes and brought on Conor Sammon for James McArthur at half time, with Stam and Crusat also making appearances in the second half.The game struggled to pick up pace, but when Gohouri was fouled on the egde of the QPR area, Rodallega did the honours to turn in his second goal of the season.The strike was beautiful to say the least as it curled around the wall and knicked the post on the way in.More twists and turns were to come as Gary Caldwell gave away a penalty but, Al Habsi's outstretched right hand denied Helguson a second and then on 81 minutes, substitute Tommy Smith found himself in space 35 yards out and hammered it home. Smith's goal has to be admired but the Latics midfielders should have closed down better.The game ended with yet more fouls and little creative play as QPR saw the game out.Latics remain in 20th place and four points away from the safety mark.Latics team: Al Habsi, Boyce (Stam 69), Gohouri, Caldwell, Figueroa, McArthur (Sammon 45), Watson, McCarthy, Gomez (Crusat 60), Moses, Rodallega.Unused subs: Pollitt, Lopez, McManaman, Di Santo.QPR team: Kenny, Young, Hall, Ferdinand, Hill, Barton, Buzsaky (Derry 82), Wright-Phillips, Mackie, Helguson, Campbell (Smith 45).Unused subs: Cerny, Orr, Ramage, Bothroyd, Macheda.

Apparently the Farsh-nuke did it...Mature
Gordon is a geek. Joe is a steampunk goth. The mints hold the secret of the universe and nothing is ever easy.
Red. Fiery red. Bloody red. Winey red. Exhausted red.
All my life I've seen red when I close my eyes and all my life I've felt its various horrific connotations as I've slept.
I. Know. Red.
That knowledge failed to help me, my friends or those I loved because I didn't know how to use it, how to fight it. People died because I thought red was just some conceptual definition of pigments and light particles interacting.
You can't afford to make the same mistakes I did so I'll tell you about the dragon of Escher, the snot beast of baldroon and the temporal riptide of snarg.
It's not all doom and gloom though, there are some cock jokes in there as well, I mean when rabid vampire zombies are ejaculating parasitic viruses it's hard not to laugh.

Emergency vehicles swarmed into the White House after a small drone-like device flew into the grounds in the early hours of Monday morning, local time.
The White House is now 'locked down' after the craft was found by Secret Service agents.
A cordon has been erected while agents investigate the drone.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said, 'There is a device that has been recovered by the Secret Service at the White House.
"Early indication is that it does not pose any sort of ongoing threat to anybody right now."

Baked Mushroom Risotto
I love the natural creaminess of risotto and when possible, I use it in recipes that call for regular old white rice. This simple dish is great as a side or even a main meal. The recipe is from Prevention, but I made several changes, including having to veganize it, which proved to be very simple. You can use a dutch oven or like me, good old fashioned aluminum foil and a baking dish. The aroma of this baking in the oven will attract the family to the dinner table!
Baked Mushroom Risotto
Prevention, adapted
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 C sliced shiitake and/or oyster mushrooms
- 1/3 C dry white wine
- 1-1/2 C arborio rice
- 3 C low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/3 C (+ some for sprinkling) vegan Parmesan cheeze
Preheat oven to 350. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil and add the onions; cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they soften and brown. Add the mushrooms and cook a few more minutes until they begin to soften. In the meantime, in a small saucepan, warm the broth a little.
Add the wine and cook until it evaporate, just a few minutes. Transfer to an oven-safe dish, stir in the rice, 1/3 C of the cheeze, and warmed up broth.
Cover tightly with foil and bake 30-32 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed. You'll need to stir it, as the mushrooms and onions migrated to the top. Sprinkle with some Parmesan cheeze and enjoy!

An Albert Park baby is recovering in the Royal Children's Hospital after remarkable surgery saved his life.
Baby Emile Haddad was just a few days old when he was diagnosed with heart failure.
His mum Lisa told 7News: "He was breathless, and limp - a very unwell little boy."
Scans at the Royal Melbourne Hospital revealed a large mass in a vein within Emile's brain, an extremely rare condition called Vein of Galen Malformation.
Neonatologist Dr Neil Patel explained: "A consequence of that is the heart has to work very hard to pump extra blood through that, and the rest of the body is deprived of its normal blood flow."
Emile's condition is so rare only a handful of specialists in the world are trained to treat it, luckily for Emile and his family one of those specialists was in Melbourne.
Neuroradiologist Professor Peter Mitchell performed an embolisation at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, where a catheter was fed through Emile's thigh, up to his heart and into his brain.
A metre of fine coil mesh was packed into the vein to slow down the blood flow.
Professor Mitchell said: "It's enormously stressful but enormously rewarding to see the good results you have."
Emile is expected to undergo another embolisation at six months, and surgery for a hole in the heart, but his parents couldn't be happier with his progress.

Environmentalists Against Solar Energy?
Posted in the Grand Rapids Forum
Since: Jun 09
#1 Jan 22, 2011
[What they have here is a case of environmental regulations holding up environmental progress. I don't know whether this is ironic or absurd. But, I mean, if we cannot put solar power plants in the Mojave desert, I don't know where the hell we can put it.(Applause)]
Seems environmentalists are less interested in developing alternative forms of renewable energy than they are in crushing wealth-developing capitalism. What else can explain the enviro-protests of what seems to be a logical step in giving solar energy a chance to succeed?
We can't "Drill Baby Drill".
We can't install wind turbines.
We can't build nuclear plants.
We can't mine for coal.
And now we can't place solar energy panels in the Mojave desert.
Time to start using the heads of the enviro-weinies as drill bits!
#2 Jan 22, 2011
Other than the fact that this is old news, it also isn't the first time that various groups within the environmental community have found conflicts in their missions. None of these groups are against seeing this country become more independent from having to burn fossil fuels to generate electricity. It's just that many of these alternative forms of creating it have other consequences that could cause harm to the environmental resources our country has.
In this case, a group called the Wildlands Conservancy raises the issue of the impact that these solar farms would have on any number of scarce or endangered desert animals and plant life. There is also a concern about the amount of water, which is already scarce there, that is needed for such a project. The group wasn't completely opposed to the idea of such solar farms, just in their location. They even suggested other areas of this vast desert where this operation wouldn't have the same negative impact.
Here in Michigan, the idea of a large wind farm placed off shore in Lake Michigan caused more ruckus with water front property owners than with environmental groups. The same groups that don't really care to see these large homes built on this area's sand dunes. There is also several groups that want to see the removal of all hydro-electric dams on our rivers. The loudest group that is protesting this very clean source of electricity are fishermen who complain that trout and salmon can't swim up the entire length of our rivers. King Salmon are no more native to these rivers than the dams, so to me this argument rings hollow as it is more about the fisherman than the health of the environment.
I don't think of local governments as being part of the environmental movement either. How many communities that already have prohibitions against a satellite dish on your roof or an outside wood stove in your back yard are going to be willing to see those same roofs or yards covered with solar panels or a residential wind generator?
Regardless of what source we get our electricity from, the biggest change we can make is by reducing the need for all of the power we consume. A month ago, we were all given the chance to witness the annual spinning of the electric meters with homes brightly lit up for the holidays. The news has already reported that 2010 was the 4th warmest on record for this area, and I'm sure that more than a fair share of homes had air conditioners running a lot more than normal. The cost of installing new E-Glass windows in my home a two years ago was not only relatively inexpensive, but saved me quite a bit in cooling costs. How many homes though are still slogging along with old windows that do nothing but magnify the sun's power?
I don't see any use in getting into the other side of the coin, other than to ask that if it wasn't for these environmental groups, what would our country look like if the wealth developing capitalists had continued the practices of the good old days?

One will never know, Bob. Let's try to stay within the realm of reality here and leave "what ifs" for predicting the outcome of basketball games. Just because this didn't happen five minutes ago doesn't make it a worthless point to bring up now. Anyone still whining about W's presidency should understand that concept!:)
Of course these so-called environmentalists have alternative suggestions. That seems to be the modus operandi of the modern-day environmentalist. Do whatever it takes to slow down the process of America's energy independence. Be it stopping construction for years by demanding environmental studies be performed, submitting lawsuits that are sure to be tied up in litigation for decades, or citing the potential danger to wildlife and resources. All succeed in stopping the process of developing alternative energy sources in this country.
Case in point, The Northern Spotted Owl debacle:
[As a result of the hysteria to save the "endangered" owls, U.S. timber sales were reduced by 80-90%, forcing saw mills to close, loggers to go broke and whole towns which depended on the industry to literally disappear.]
Funny thing is, the little owls turned up thriving in Target Signs, The Golden Arches and under bridge overpasses!
But this is old news too, Bob, so we should just forget about it.
#4 Jan 22, 2011
If all your irrefutable facts are going to come from blog pages and opinion pieces, we might as well forget about it.
U.S. timber sales dropped 80-90%?
Do you really want to stick with those numbers? Would you like to stop and think about this?
Do you really think that anyone is going to believe that 80-90% of all the timber sales in this country comes from just one 200 million acre national park?
For someone who constantly wants only the real facts given in an argument, this quote that you fell for is beyond lame. Are you just having a bad day, and didn't want to think about what you posted?
It starts to make me think that this first source of yours doesn't quite cut the mustard either. Maybe that holds true for almost any argument you've made here before.

When you can supply actual facts to the contrary as opposed to your "feelings" then we might be able to have a reasonable debate. Seems however, in absence of said facts, you've chosen your typical approach of slander the source, insult the author of the thread and interject your usual opinion-based "reality" of how you deem things to be.
On the contrary to your questioning the arguments I've made in the past, the predictable attack the messenger responses we continue to see from liberals when debating these kinds of subjects only serves to strengthen the arguments I've made in the past.
#6 Jan 22, 2011
This is only a small portion of one of the reports I used. Maybe you could use sources like this for your source for facts.
"Until recently, the West had been the largest lumber producing region in the United States. In 1966 for example, more than half (55%) of all lumber produced in the United States came from the West. Much of this production came from old-growth timber on Federally owned lands in the Pacific Coast (Washington, Oregon, and California). During the next 25 years, the proportion of lumber coming from the West slowly fell to just under half, due to declining levels of timber from public lands, and increasing levels of production in the South. Then in the late 1980s and early 1990s, large areas of Federally owned land in the West were removed from harvest. This removal further exacerbated the situation. In 1990, the South became the Nation's largest lumber producing region, accounting for 35% of all softwood lumber and 80% of all hardwoods. Since 1990, softwood lumber production in the South has increased and that in the West has decreased. Currently, both regions produce nearly equal amounts of softwood lumber."
If you notice, the Pacific NW only accounted for 55% of all lumber production in the best of times. Any ridiculous claim that US production dropped by the percentages your source is giving are just plain false.
#7 Jan 22, 2011
Here's an excerpt from a great report that the associated press put out on the matter:
Federal lawsuits won by environmentalists in the early 1990s and President Clinton's 1994 forest plan reduced federal logging in the region by about 80 percent. Industry officials and politicians predicted the region would lose up to 150,000 jobs.
That never materialized, according to the report, which was funded by the Sierra Club of British Columbia and the Earthlife Canada Foundation.
Wood products employment fell by more than 27,000 jobs between 1979 and 1989, before the big logging cutbacks, and then dropped by another 21,000 jobs by 1996 as federal timber harvests declined.
But the report says only about 9,300 of those lost jobs were due to old growth forest protection; market conditions were to blame for the rest.
Meanwhile, the region has added tens of thousands of jobs every year. Since 1994, the annual increase in jobs in the Pacific Northwest has
exceeded the total number of timber industry jobs, according to the report.
"Cast your mind back. The prediction was that Oregon would descend into becoming timber Appalachia. That was fantastically wrong; it
wasn't even close," said David Bayles,conservation director for the Pacific Rivers Council in Eugene.
#8 Jan 22, 2011
Well there's your facts. And if you'll notice they are from credible sources and are not blogs or opinion pieces.
Also, if you really want to stamp out insults, maybe you should refer to your very first post about enviro-weenies. You must be awfully special to not have to live by the same standards you want to force on everyone else....... But what more could we expect.
#9 Jan 22, 2011
See Bob, this is what the right does on these forums. They post blogs and misconceptions, yet should anyone on the left post a blog, well you know what happens. They want facts, you gave them facts to prove them wrong, yet what do they do? Nothing. Fear monger attacks again.
#10 Jan 23, 2011
I'm sure that researching real sources is something new to Dingo, so I am willing to wait for him to provide real proof that his 80-90% production drop is correct.
Of course I figure this thread will now be ignored or that the next comeback will revert to the tired old tactic of attack the messenger. The same thing I always get hammered with seems to be okay when it comes from their side of the fence.

The Sierra Club is hardly an impartial source:
and I'd submit the Associated Press isn't much better.
[The results of the Spotted Owl campaign: from 1988 to 1993 timber harvest in the Northwest fell by 80 percent. The Mexican spotted owl in New Mexico and Colorado came next, and President Bill Clinton quickly deemed 4.6 million acres of forest critical habitat. Thus, over three thousand timber-related jobs were lost](Wall Street Journal, October 2005).
In addition to that, the fauna and flora of these wilderness areas were devastated by forest fires that raged because of the lack of logging. There was also, of course, the millions and millions of dollars in human property loss because of these forest fires.
Do you consider the Wall Street Journal a reputable source? If you don't you'd be in the minority.
In the end, the Spotted Owl the enviro-weenies claimed would become extinct if the timber industry didn't halt production in that region were later found surviving and multiplying quite effectively under bridge overpasses and commercial signage. And that is the point of this thread, not quibbling over statistics.
Try focusing your research on the gist of the matter - environmentalists blocking the development of America's energy independence.
#12 Jan 23, 2011
To begin with, if you had bothered to read my post which was #7 here, you would see that I already showed that federal logging was reduced in the region by 80%. This is a far cry from your source's doom and gloom view, that US production fell by that amount. Of course you can argue that the statement was simply out of context or whatever, but that is one of the problems with claiming facts from sources that cannot express themselves correctly. Even your latest contention, that timber production dropped by 80% is misleading in that it was simply old growth forests that were on federal lands where this production dropped. Your report makes it sound like all timber production dropped which is wrong, in as much as it doesn't take into consideration lumbering on private lands or federal lands that were not part of the old growth forest.
The Wall Street Journal could be considered a reliable source if not for the fact that it had a horse in this specific race. You may or may not realize that this whole spotted owl thing came about when a large venture capitalist company bought the rights to harvest this old growth timber. This company had dealings on Wall Street, so I can surmise that it's reports would give a gloomier picture of the economic impact of this issue than the three local economists that were quoted in my source's report. Yet my sources reported over three times the number of forestry jobs lost.
However you want to pronounce the name of the venerable spud, the bottom line in that the region has survived the economic impact that was feared by many. As a matter of fact it did so without nearly the negative impact some of your sources were trying to spread. Your argument that the spotted owls were doing fine outside of its native habitat rings hollow in my book. While they may have played a major role in the protection of these forests, there are many other things flourishing in those same forests that were saved as well.
Call them names if you would like, but the environmentalist's historical efforts have saved this country from turning into a large clear-cut cesspool that this nation's capitalist crowd was taking us towards.
So you want to discuss our need for energy independence? Then you should understand that without the environmentalists, this drive towards more and more power would come at the cost of a loss of untold natural resources. Imgaine Yellowstone Nat'l Park being turned into one vast geothermal power plant. A better source of renewable energy than solar power, that needs to remain untouched.

I've been active in environmental and animal protection organizations for years, Bob. I hardly need lectured from you on the importance of environmental consciousness. Unfortunately, like many important issues, such as racial and gender equality, the enviro-cause has been hijacked to a degree by people with larger political agendas than that which they claim to care about. This is the point of the thread - the recent outcry from environmentalists regarding the construction of solar energy facilities in the remote desert is a prime example.
The common-sense question is this, if these oh-so concerned environmentalists really WERE trying to stifle America's development of energy independency sources, what would they be doing differently? After all, it seems no matter what we do to placate them the lawsuits and protests continue.
I submit to you, imagine America if environmentalists obstructed the building of our founding cities, our freeways, our industrial complexes that have forged the wealth that has allowed America to grow as a nation.
I fully support the efforts of environmentalists when their mission is truly to protect the environment in a responsible way. But when a decent cause is taken over by politically-motivated activists, in this case enviro-weenies, I feel obligated to call them on it.

Any sort of change is going to cause some amount of discomfort. So in this case, a change in the way we produce our energy is going to cause a pinch.
We need to prioritize and use common sense. Many times we allow our emotions to lead the way, forgetting any sort of logic.
We all know we need to look at ALL forms of alternative energy. At the same time though we need to be aware that there are consequences to any action. It's just a matter of whether or not the risk is worth the reward.

Man Bites Dog (Redux) -- Then Gets Arrested
For the second time this year, we have the pleasure of bringing you an actual man bites dog story.
The latest human to turn the table on man's best friend: 33-year-old John Kroll, who allegedly bit a police dog as he was getting arrested earlier this week.
According to court records, Police were called to an apartment near 83rd Avenue and Pinnacle Peak Road Monday where Kroll had barricaded himself in a closet armed with a bat and a knife during an apparent burglary attempt.
A woman and her 11-year-old son were also in the apartment.

Cops let a police dog loose in the closet with Kroll -- who punched and kicked the dog before biting it in its right thigh.
Kroll, ultimately, was taken into custody -- and he apparently got a little banged up in the process.
He was booked into jail on one count each of burglary, assault, resisting arresting and harming a work service animal.
Back in March, we reported on a similar man bites dog story, also involving an alleged criminal attempting to fend off a police dog.
On March 19, 2010, Erin Sullivan broke into a Glendale home, his lawyer, Keith Knowlton told New Times earlier this year. When Sullivan realized the homeowner was in the house, he fled on foot, but police were already closing in on the would-be burglar.
Outside of the home, an officer had Sullivan at gunpoint and instructed him to stop running, but he continued to flee -- and the officer didn't shoot.
Sullivan continued to run until he found a place to hide -- all as police helicopters had been deployed to aid in his capture.
"Erin found a hiding spot under a little dog house he pulled over himself," a complaint Sullivan filed against the Glendale and Phoenix police departments states. "He heard officers walk by him. He got out of the dog house and moved about twenty feet when he heard the helicopter and heard instruction to 'freeze.'""
According to his attorney, Sullivan knew the jig was up, and got on his knees and put his hands on his head.
That's when Sullivan met Officer Bryan Welsh -- and his dog -- who "came around the corner and appeared to be surprised to see Erin."
Sullivan says he was "told to move backwards 'slowly' from the object he was kneeling in front of. As he began to move backwards on his knees as instructed, Officer Welsh let the dog loose."
Sullivan says the dog bit him two or three times -- causing injuries that required about 40 staples to seal the wounds -- before he decided to bite back.
"When the dog went for Erin's neck area, Erin felt his life was in danger and hit and bit the dog on its nose," the report states.
After Sullivan bit the dog, the officers called it off -- and then blasted him with some pepper spray, which, his lawyer claims, was after he'd already surrendered and no longer posed a threat.
Following his arrest, Sullivan was taken to a Glendale City Jail, where he claims he told officers he was diabetic and needed insulin. The officers, Sullivan's lawyer claims, ignored his request and he had a seizure.
Sullivan, who is currently prison-bound for the burglary, seeks punitive damages for negligence, excessive force, and constitutional violations. The cities of Phoenix and Glendale, Officer Welsh, and three other police officers are named in the suit.
"They basically use dogs and Tasers on people all the time, even after they've surrendered" Knowlton tells New Times. "That's what this is about."
Maybe, but it's also about a guy who bit a dog, which is much more entertaining.

It is MIT policy that employees and students who may be exposed to hazards on the job be informed of the nature of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Every department, laboratory, and center that conducts research with chemicals has developed a Chemical Hygiene Plan . Non-research use of chemicals is covered under the Hazard Communication Standard. The chain of responsibility for health and safety flows from the principal investigator or supervisor to the department head to the MIT administration.
As a service to the community, the Institute provides a number of services to evaluate and inform the community about hazards in the laboratory and other work environments at MIT. An occupational health physician is available at MIT Medical for consultation about occupational health concerns at no cost to the MIT community. The EHS Office has industrial hygienists, health physicists, and microbiologists who are available to evaluate a laboratory or work place for exposure hazards.
If the work place or laboratory involves chemicals, the Industrial Hygiene Program in the EHS Office will evaluate the worksite as follows: an industrial hygienist will visit the work place and talk with the concerned employee. A list of chemicals in use and the procedures in which they are used will be generated. A review of the scientific literature for hazards of the chemicals will be conducted. Exposure controls such as local exhaust ventilation or personal protective equipment will be evaluated. Air sampling may be conducted to insure that if there is any exposure, it is below safe levels. Please call the EHS Office at (617) 452-3477 with any questions or if you wish to set up an appointment for an evaluation.

Anyone who operates a Audi knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your Q5 unless you wanted to buy long-lasting quality and dependability both rolled up into one vehicle. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Audi vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road today.
Heat causes the coolant in your engine to expand, and every liquid-cooled engine handles that in the same way. Your Audi Q5 is operating at a temperature close to 200-degrees Fahrenheit, and in order to stop it from boiling the pressure must be around 15-20psi. That means your Audi Q5 coolant expansion tank should always contain a certain amount of liquid coolant. If you find a crack in the coolant reservoir, then you are going to lose coolant quickly.
Don't let a broken Coolant Expansion Recovery Tank spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the highest quality repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the correct Audi Q5 part for your needs. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Need 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 Audi Q5 Coolant Expansion Recovery Tank parts? We've got them right here.

The Donnie Darko actress's sister Jessica Barrymore was discovered dead in her car in National City, California, on Tuesday morning after a suspected suicide.
Jessica was due to celebrate her 48th birthday on the July 31, but was found reportedly surrounded by several white pills in the passenger seat of her car.
A woman named Marta Lopez discovered Jessica's body when she found she was unable to get out of her driveway to leave for work, as Jessica's car was blocking her in, reports 10News.
Other witnesses in the area where Ms Barrymore's body was discovered claim that the red car had been there since midnight the night before her body was found.
A cause of death has not yet been determined; however an autopsy on the body has been scheduled.
