Introduction to BitCoin poker
Hey everybody, I've been trying out bitcoin poker. Bitcoins are a topic all themselves but they can be converted into dollars.
OK, so there is a nice site called SealsWithClubs.org. You deposit 1 bitcoin, and you get 1000 chips. A bitcoin is about $5 right now (the value fluctuates. Check out mtgox.com to see how much it is right now). So 1 chip is worth about a half a cent.
You can freeroll some bitcoins on SealsWithClubs.org if you don't want to buy some. They have a 50 chip winner take all freeroll every hour, with a maximum of 20 players. Also they have a 31 chip buyin with 50 chips added every 2 hours which hardly ever gets 5 people.
Obviously you are playing for small stakes; but it is real money. There are ring games and the rake is pretty low, like 2.5% I think. Also there are SNGS with buyins of 20+1 and 50+2; so the fees for the SNGS are very low. You won't get rakeback or anything like that, but there is a rake race going on right now.
Also every now and then the owner puts up bigger freerolls which have prizepools of 1 or 0.5 BTC (BTC is the abbreviation for bitcoin).
He also posts games with buyins of 0.1BTC with 1 BTC added (guaranteed overlay).
The software is kind of quirky and takes some getting used to (the lobby is kind of strange), but it is fully functional. The card graphics look like they were taken directly from Poker Stars. So it kind of makes me feel at home playing it.
I have checked them out, but the software is so bad, it is really tough to play more than a single table. They all open within one window, you cannot launch as separate, which is just dumb.
Also the other concern is that this type of room seems only for serious poker players, therefore no fish.
However as far as professionals and fish goes; yes there are some pros there but there are some fish there that are really, really bad. They can't play heads up or 3 handed very well. A lot of computer nerds are into bitcoins but they aren't so much into poker, and they are just kind of gambling with their bitcoins that they mined and / or bought.
Today the lag is gone. Looks like they might have fixed it.
Nah, the lag keeps coming back. I think the site is being DDOS attacked by some nerdy hacker. They might even be trying to extort money from them. Anyways, there is lag with 20 players; they'll never be able to fix their problems if they were to get 2000 players. So unless you're really bored, i have to DErecommend bitcoin poker for you now.
I tried it and I didn't like it so much!
re: Poker & Introduction to BitCoin poker
absoluthamm, you are not quite right. If you are willing to bet money - let me know. I know at least one guy who sits often at 10-20 and 20-40 (these are chips. 1 bitcoin = 100 chips) tables during evenings. If you are interested - I might help to organize game for you both
But overall - you are probably on a right side. Bitcoin poker is more about bitcoin then poker yet.
What makes you feel "fishy"? My project is more then one year old already. And we encourage players to not keep balances on site ('cos there are no problems to deposit bitcoins when needed - no waitings or fees).
As for why - many reasons. For usa players - it might become legal option to play poker, for libertians - it is another way to support free currency, for nerds - just new interesting technology
Ugh...I know I was pretty negative so far. I must sound like a Schizophrenic. But in the past few days SealsWithClubs seems to be doing a lot better - I haven't seen any lag for a day now. I guess I just can't quit bitcoins. There haven't been many people online lately; it makes it a lot easier to win the freeroll.
I can also vouch for the owner of the site - he let me do a cashout of 0.1 BTC after I won my first 100 chips just to test out how moving bitcoins around works; it only took a few minutes to withdraw the Bitcoins into my Bitcoin Wallet (that's a program you'll need to download to use BTC). Also other members on there vouch for the speed of the withdrawals - usually hours, at most a day.
Turning bitcoins into dollars on the other hand does take time, I'm not an expert on that yet! Perhaps our new member can explain that process?
re: Poker & Introduction to BitCoin poker
Just wanted to update the thread, I'm the resident bitcoin poker expert now.
Seals with clubs the withdrawal happened in < 5 minutes. That's the one nice thing about bitcoins - you can move them around very fast.
Tomorrow, Monday 11/7/2011 8PM EST there will be a 525 chip buyin (that's 0.525 BTC) with 15000 chips guaranteed (that's 15 BTC). If you need 525 chips they will have 7 freerolls from noon to 7PM EST where the winner takes 600 chips (0.6BTC). Those will probably get 10-20 people, but the big game will probably only get less than 10 people playing. So far only me and one other guy are registered.
So his lag problems are gone as far as I can tell; perhaps I was too negative, maybe the software can scale up. Anyways, I think it's nice to play at a site where there's only 20 people who play, you get to know them and their play.
Besides this promo he runs promos like this all the time; big guaranteeds with great overlays. So check in there from time to time.
Seems like a new poker site pops up every month. lol.
I never bought any BTC, I only freerolled and then MTT"d my way up to 30 BTC. They are holding at around $3/btc now. I can't say I'm happy with how they go up and down like a rollercoaster. I've seen people sell them on Ebay for more than you can get for them on the Exchanges. It's just a fun thing for me , yeah , kind of like Zynga, but with some potential for money.
Payments/cashouts are almost instant btw into your bitcoin wallet which just runs on your pc; ok, a cashout takes a day to get to your wallet. But u have to have a secure computer in order to use bitcoins, plus they recommend that you use secure your wallet with a password, and you can even back them up to flash drives & such in case your hard drive ever got wiped (which would be a problem, you'd lose your bitcoins)
re: Poker & Introduction to BitCoin poker
Bitcoins are up to $7 each now. Pretty crazy! Why don't you check out sealswithclubs - its pretty easy to win some fr's there and they have a 100 added tourney now which can help you get to a few bitcoins real quick
Hi guys, it's Bryan Micon here.
I have been working with Sealswithclubs.org in a marketing capacity and can explain bitcoin further if anyone would like to read:
Here is a quick guide on how you buy bitcoins without talking to me or SealsWithClubs:
1) open a Dwolla account. It's the new http://www.dwolla.com - also google news Dwolla to read about how it is an internet darling type startup and very legit. You fund your Dwolla acct. from your checking account, similar to an echeck to Paypal.
2) open an MTGox account - http://www.mtgox.com - this is where 80% of Bitcoins are traded for USD. you do need to log into the site for the latest price. The spread is very low, usually .01 BTC so just use whatever the last accepted bid was as the current price. You can 'bird the last 24 hrs as a guest, or go to http://www.bitcoincharts.com for the latest prices and to see a lifetime graph of BTC.
here is the last 24 hrs for MTGox:
Last Price: 4.55
Low: 4.39
Volume: 124,441
~ $600k USD worth of BTC are traded each 24 hrs as of recent. The data above means that 124,441 bitcoins were traded in the last 24 hrs on Gox. a trade means both a buy and a sell, obv, but just keep that in mind when looking at volume. Remember these are rolling 24-hr numbers.
Once you buy BTC on MTGox, you type in your bitcoin address to withdraw the coins. Don't have one yet? www.bitcoin.org (http://www.bitcoin.org) to download the client. Once you install the Bitcoin client, your coins are held in a wallet.dat file. if you lose that file for any reason, those BTC evaporate and are never available again. that file can also get hacked. it is reasonable to keep that file on a thumb drive with 2 backups and only insert to xfer BTC.
Ok so you got BTC to the client. Now you drop ship them easily and instantly to SealsWithClubs. Then you obv pwn the noobs, and it's time to cash out.
When you win off SealsWithClubs, you go the other way - Cash out form SealsWithClubs to your Bitcoin client on your computer, a process which Seals does a "sanity check" on your cashout, i.e. a human takes a quick look, sees that you won and didn't cheat, and ships it in a few hours.
Now you send BTC --> MtGox, sell at the current price --> withdraw USD from MTGox --> Dwolla, then Dwolla --> checking acct.
It should be noted that you can Dwolla USD --> MtGox and just keep the balance as USD until you are ready to play Seals, withdraw only the coins you need, and when you are done playing ship them back, sell them for USD, and hold zero BTC each night when you sleep. this can minimize but never eliminate your exposure to the wild swings in BTC price - currently, with BTC, you are gambling while you are gambling.
It's a very interesting concept that appears to be growing not shrinking, and will likely piss off the USA government soon enough, but for now it's a viable world-wide online poker solution.
TY for reading Cardschat users, I'll answer a few questions if anyone would like.
also of note is a company called BitInstant (and there are a few like them) where you take cash to a bank, deposit into their account, and after a small fee is deducted you get the bitcoins almost instantly.
Check out a video I made about the process and showing you the sites:
I use bitcoins on switchpoker.com since January, seems like its a good system, the price changes are like playing in $/€ just buyout/in when the rate is in your favour. switchpoker is pretty quick with deposits and withdrawals.
P.S. I am schizo
12/12 Update:
1) Bitcoins are now $12.40 as of this writing
2) the largest bitcoin poker site is SealsWithClubs with active games 24/7 - the site - and bitcoin - have grown significantly in the past few months. Worth another look at this point if you were previously turned off by very few players.
re: Poker & Introduction to BitCoin poker
It is a good site. Honest to goodness poker, with a thriving community.
To be honest... it's not a bad place for a person who has been playing the game for a little while... after all it's full of fish like me.
Active stakes from 2nl to 100nl and higher.
And there is an hourly freeroll you can use to jumpstart a bankroll.
I recommend it highly.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - April 3, 2005, New Braunfels, Texas Sunday, April 3, 2005 — Herald-Zeitung — Page 7A Corps agrees to work for permanent water deviation By Ron Maloney Staff Writer U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials said Wednesday they would seek to make permanent a handshake agreement with local officials creating a one-foot pool of water to support summer tubing. The word came at an informational meeting at the New Braunfels Civic Center about summer recreation that included Chamber of Commerce, river outfitters, city, county, Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority and Corps of Engineers officials. The water, called a "recreation" or "seasonal deviation" from the Corps' operating plans for the dam and reservoir, means during years that weather and flood control conditions permitted, the water level in Canyon Lake would be increased from 909 feet above mean sea level to 910. A deal was negotiated in the 1990s to try the idea on a year-by-year basis after local officials initially sought a two-foot deviation. County, GB RA and Corps officials have decided each spring under the informal agreement whether to raise the lake level. County Judge Danny Scheel approached 17 downstream county judges, seeking their permission to try the deviation —as long as water levels downstream were not adversely affected. Releasing water from Canyon Dam is a key to river flows in Gonzales and Victoria, which restrict lake releases to prevent possible downstream flooding. The extra foot of water would be used during the hot dry part of the summer to ensure adequate river flows for tubing in the lower Guadalupe River. Paul Rich, owner of Mountain Breeze, representing an association of outfitters, told GBRA and Corps of Engineers officials that a river flow in summer of about 400 cubic feet-per-second could support tourism. "If you could have it at 600 cfs that would be perfect," Rich said. "But 400 cfs would be good." Paul Rodman, chief of the reservoir control division of the Fort Worth District, Corps of Engineers, said a study delayed by state and federal lawsuits could now proceed that would gauge the impacts of the added lake level. "We're getting a study ready on a pennanent seasonal pool with a real emphasis on environmental impacts," Rodman said. Once the study is complete, a recommendation would go up the chain of command to Washington, D.C., that would allow the Corps to make a change in its operations, Rodman said. Previously, Corps officials have told local government that the change could require an Act of Congress, but Rodman said he thought it could be handled within the Corps. "That's what we're hoping," Rodman said. "We're not sure how headquarters will rule. If they call this a reallocation and they get involved, the process is longer and the costs go up. Hopefully, there could be a permanent pool in place by next year, but that's probably pretty optimistic." Council to take closer look at civic center plan Monday By Scott Mahon Staff Writer The New Braunfels City Council agreed last week to revive plans for expanding the civic center. Monday, City Manager Chuck Pinto will show tile council a plan to do just that. The idea of expanding the civic center has been debated since 1998, and over the years, suggestions of moving tile civic center to the Comal River, the Wurstfest facility and even to the old H-E-B building have come and gone. A1999 study completed by a Houston consulting firm proposed a new civic center on Gruene Road. "In 2000, voters rejected a plan to build a convention center in Gruene," said Michael Meek, Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce president. "Then in 2002, voters approved using hotel occupancy tax money to either renovate or expand the existing civic center, and in 2003 voters approved using HOT tax money to build a new facility downtown." But in 2003, council^discussed a number of proposals, including expanding the existing civic center, building a new $14 million civic center on the Comal River or building a new facility on South Casten Avenue. At the time, council agreed that the city should expand the existing facility. AT A GLANCE ■ What: New Braunfels City Council workshop ■ When: 6 p.m. Monday ■ Where: Municipal Building, 424 S. Casten Ave. In early 2004, council approved a $60,000 contract with Conventions, Sports & Leisure to study the feasibility of a new convention center. The study completed by CSL suggested that an anchor hotel would be critical for a downtown convention center. Pinto said HOT tax funds could be used to fund either the expansion of the civic center or a new convention center. Pinto said Friday that about $1.3 million had accumulated from HOT tax revenues for the civic center, but that other sources might be available, including 4B funds and chamber funds. "Monday, I plan to show council how this could work financially and go over the RVK designs we looked at in 2003," he said. "The design I intend to show council estimated a cost of about $9 mi llion for expanding the civic center, but of course that number would have to be updated." District 4 Councilwoman Valerie Hull spearheaded the idea of reviving plans for expanding the civic center last week. nm photograph This Mother's Day, give the special women in your life a gift they'll treasure forever.

'In Search of a Nation' at the Njelele Art Station
Two concurrent, intersecting exhibitions are set to open this evening at the Njelele Art Station in Harare, Zimbabwe: 'Indlovukazi,' by Buhlebezwe Siwani, and Sikhumbuzo Makandula's 'In Search of a Nation,' in collaboration with Moffat Takadiwa. ART AFRICA spoke to Makandula about his performance, the origins of the exhibition, and the personal and post-colonial narratives that connect these artists and their respective practices.

'African Robots' by Danny Shorkend
"Specialisation, while allowing for focus and the acquisition of knowledge, comes at a price. One loses a holistic sensibility. One loses the sense of the interconnectedness of disciplines and indeed, of knowledge itself. In this light, the innovative art, design, technical know-how and educational potential that 'African Robots' offers is pertinent, not simply conceptual," writes Danny Shorkend, following the exhibition 'African Robots' at the MUTI Gallery earlier this year.
Amref Health Africa ArtBall, New York: Calls for South African Artists
The Inaugural Amref Health Africa ArtBall is a premier contemporary African art auction and philanthropic event being held on Wednesday, 8th June, 2016 from 7-10PM at 159 Bleecker Street in New York City. To date nearly thirty artists, including the likes of Solly Cissé (Senegal), Michael Soi (Kenya), Paa Joe (Ghana), Tahir Carl Karmali (Kenya), George Lilanga (Tanzania) Wiz Kudowor (Ghana) and Saidou Dicko (Burkina Faso) have generously donated their artwork to the #AmrefArtBall in an attempt to raise funds for Amref Health Africa's innovative grassroot programmes, which span across thirty-five countries and touch millions of people throughout sub-Saharan Africa every year. If you're a South African artist and would like to be a part of this breakthrough event, this is your opportunity.
'Hassan Hajjaj: My Rock Stars' by Cynthia Becker
Cynthia Becker reviews Hassan Hajjaj's recent exhibition, 'My Rock Stars,' which ran until 6 March 2016 at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts. 'The commercial feel of his work should not detract from the seriousness of his artistic mission,' writes Becker, 'His photographs can be characterised as a reflection on transnational diaspora communities, capturing the innovative cultural and aesthetic forms immigrants have created in their new homes.'
'Creating a Climate of Faith in Paris' by Kai Lossgott
After the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, artist Kai Lossgott reflects on experimental communal practices, social art projects and effective mobilisation in defiance of disaster fatigue.
Malick Sidibé: A Tribute
In 1960, Mali gained its independence, but photographer Malick Sidibé (1936-2016) maintained that music was the real revolution of the era. Across the capital of Bamako, young men and women went out of their way to energetically and radically redefine themselves by embracing world youth culture, especially rock 'n roll music, fashion and more liberal attitudes. In an interview with The Guardian in 2010, Sidibé explained, "We were entering a new era, and people wanted to dance. Music freed us." At this time, Sidibé emerged as the 'eye of Bamako,' capturing the youthful exuberance of his compatriots on his Kodak Brownie (crucially equipped with a flash) as they danced up close to each other, wore bell bottom trousers, rode motorbikes or posed with their Jimi Hendrix records. In so doing, Sidibé produced images of an Africa that hitherto did not 'exist' in the eyes of the west.
Buhlebezwe Siwani: Liminal spaces
Buhlebezwe Siwani, Cape Town-based artist and member of the iQhiya collective spoke to ART AFRICA about her practice, the relationship between the individual and the collective, and the deeply liminal subtext that surrounds her work.

'Blurring the lines: Where community and the commercial intersect:' Accra's new Gallery 1957
On the anniversary of its independence day – the 6th of March – Ghana marked its growing cultural autonomy with the launch of Gallery 1957, its first commercial contemporary art space.
Borrando La Frontera: Erasing the Mexico/US border
Last Saturday (9th April) Ana Teresa Fernandez, members of Border Arte and various community members took to painting out the Mexico/US border along Agua Prieta, Juarez, and Mexicali. This intervention forms the third 'Borrado La Frontera' intervention since 2011, a reaction to the physical and emotional divisions created by the border.
'Hub in the Making' By Dr. Zoltán Somhegyi
The art scene in the United Arab Emirates has seen unprecedented levels of growth, enstablishing this region as an important place in the global contemporary art market. This is particularly clear in the capital Abu Dhabi, as well as in Dubai and Sharjah. In just a couple of years, the UAE has become one of the must-see global art hubs. Impressive museums, galleries, art institutions and foundations are mushrooming. The scale of art commerce – gallery sales, auctions and direct studio sales – is noteworthy, however, the scene is certainly more sophisticated – and its history and development is more layered than what can be read in short Tweet-like statements.
'A Game of Mirrors' by Farid Zahi
'CODE' at The Mojo Gallery (Dubai) juxtaposes the work of Cheikhou Ba (Senegal) and Serwan Baran (Iraq), two artists hailing from different continents and living across cultures. The exhibition brings forth two antagonistic views of the world. Contiguous in their underlying meaning, this results in a creative dialogue about the mystique of life.
'Ebony in the Ivory Tower:' The Launch of ICA
At the beginning of her speech, Zethu Matebeni thanked performer Khanyisile Mbongwa for making the podium a comfortable space, for the first time. The performance by Mbongwa, preceding this speech, was titled Umnikelo Oshisiwe (a burnt offering). It was comprised of chants, repetitions of parts of prayer, whistling, a song in Xhosa and the donning of traditional headdress coupled with a symbolic disrobing. Afterwards, Jay Pather described it as a troubled purification.
This sense of unearthing and purification with the aim of transforming criticality and opening up academia and the cultural sector is what characterized the launch of The Institute for Creative Arts (ICA) on Tuesday evening, 5th April 2016.
White Curtains: The Politics of Art and the Art of Politics
The relationship between politics and art is not new. A uniquely human endeavour, the scope of artistic practice extends into all fields, an impulse that jumps from one synapse to the next. If anything, art highlights the connections between things — their similarities, their contradictions, their feeling. If we can think it, we can communicate it, and, naturally, it is the things that affect us most that we feel the need to communicate. Provided we have a receptive, open platform, and a will to do so.
Common Ground: Amirah Tajdin on Cinema in the Middle East
Amirah Tajdin is a film writer, director and co-founder of THIRTY SEVEN films. Currently based in Dubai, Tajdin's work has received the Jury Special Mention awards at the Zanzibar International Film Festival and Film Africa London. Her co-directed short, Marea de Tierra (2015) premiered at the Cannes Director's Fortnight as part of the Chile Factory Residency. She is currently writing her first feature film, Hawa Hawaii, set in the Swahili community of Mombasa, Kenya. Daniel Hewson spoke to Tajdin about her practice and the difficulty of independent filmmaking.
Identity Politics and Contemporary African Art: Some Lessons from the Masters
"Those who pursue art as a profession and aspire to a successful career are subject to coercion by the power and benevolence of the West into producing something that does not pose any threat to the structures of Western institutions and their philosophical underpinning," writes Valerie Kabov.
Paying Attention To The Person: Carthage Film Festival
When it comes to communication, film is arguably one of the most universal mediums. Its universality is in the language – be it the visuals, soundtrack, dialogue, or a combination of these elements – which can speak to anyone, anywhere. These familiar, sensory moments reach beyond one's conscious understanding of the world. They create a brief window of opportunity in which empathy thrives. An event like the Carthage Film Festival − which took place in Tunis between the 21st to the 28th November 2015 − brings together a wide variety of films from across the globe, providing a platform for local and visiting audiences, not only to engage alternative world views, but to recognise them and, perhaps, make them their own.
'Bittersweet:' Haroon Gunn-Salie's upcoming exhibition at Galpão VB in Brasil
Saturday 2 April will see the opening of 'Bittersweet' [Agridoce, in Portuguese], an exhibition by South African artist Haroon Gunn-Salie at Galpão VB in Brasil. The idea for the solo exhibit came about through the artist's interactions with people who were directly affected by last year's disaster in Mariana, Brazil. Gunn-Salie's project, composed of film, photography and installation, aims to tell the stories often covered up by mainstream state-owned media, offering the grassroots perspective of those affected.
'What's On TV Tonight?' by Olivia Anani
"Exactly ten years after the much talked-about 'Africa Remix' exhibition, the prestigious Fondation Cartier in Paris has its grand exhibition on the new craze," writes Olivia Anani, following the exhibition 'Beauté Congo.' To read this article in French, click here.
'No Obligation To Get Along:' Gender and Race politics at SMAC Gallery, Stellenbosch
Gender and race politics have an unprecedented pop-cultural presence and, as a result, there is a certain cynicism that accompanies hearing about an all-girl group-show called 'Lush,' which took place at SMAC Gallery in Stellenbosch. There is the suspicion of a feverish attempt at intersectionality, a bracing for the impact of thinly veiled tropes. Fortunately, these expectations have gone unsatisfied. Instead, 'Lush' embodied an evolution in how we consider female artists.
'NYC to UAE:' An interview with Leila Heller
Are we too regional in our ideas about establishing self-sufficient art markets within the continent? Should we be embracing the sale of international artists locally? Leila Heller raises some important questions following the establishment of New York's Leila Heller Gallery in Dubai.
'#creativeintersections' ACT | UJ Arts and Culture Conference 2016
The fourth ACT | UJ Arts & Culture Conference took place between the 16th and 17th March 2016. Fay Jackson takes a look at some of the key points made over the course of the conference, their relevance within the broader South African context, and the ways in which such oppurtunities enable its participants to reach out beyond the confines of the event, eloquently summarised by keynote speaker Didintle Ntsie, "The first step is awareness, and the second is challenging ourselves to use our privilege in order to make a change."
'Donkey Bite: Nastio Mosquito on what he is and is not' by Nadine Botha
"I do think there are things in life that you must decide, but to be who you are is not a decision," says Nastio Mosquito to Nadine Botha, following the group exhibition 'Positions' at the Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven.
Prominent South African artist David Brown passes away, age 65
On Friday the 18th of March the South African arts community bid a reluctant farewell to prominent protest artist, David Brown (1951 - 2016).

Kathren: Stars
Stars. So close i can almost touch them. Glowing brightly through the window in my room. The view is amazing, like i'm i a movie. I've always wanted to come out into space. My father promised me that I could if I got good grades in my exams. So i did. And here i am, out in space.
My room is a nice size, not too big and not too small. It's just right. On the left there is a little bed, with purple sheets neatly folded over it. On the right is an oak desk with my brand new laptop which i got for my 15th birthday sitting on it. And at the back of the room is the best of all. A huge window covering the whole of the far wall. Now i'm sitting there and through it i see millions of stars glowing brightly.
My lifes dream is to be a pilot. I could fly away whenever i wanted to. But now i'll just live in the moment. I'll live in right now.

Some years ago, on holiday to Costa Rica, I was struck by how every town, village and hamlet, however small, had three common elements: a school, a church, and a football pitch. Now the world is waking up to the fact that this small central American country, previously best-known for not having an army, is also obsessed with football.
Given that enthusiasm, and a population larger than Uruguay (twice winners in the early years, and also semi-finalists in 2010), Croatia (semi-finalists in 1998) and Republic of Ireland (quarter-finalists in 1990) it is perhaps surprising Costa Rica have not been more successful. It is not, however, easy to qualify from Concacaf with Mexico and United States so dominant in the north and central Americas and Caribbean region.
Nevertheless, Costa Rica have the third strongest domestic league after those two giants, a fact reflected in two players in their giant-killing side, Michael Unama and Yeltsin Tejeda, playing for Saprissa in the capital, San Jose, and a third home-based player, Cartagines' Randall Brenes, being introduced against England.
England 0 Costa Rica 0 player ratings
England 0 Costa Rica 0 player ratings
1/22 Keylor Navas
Managed to cope with everything that England could muster. 7
2/22 Christian Gamboa
Did fine at the back for the South Americans. 6
3/22 Junior Diaz
Not quite as influential as against Italy but fine. 6
4/22 Randall Brenes
Removed on the hour mark after being pretty ineffective. 5
5/22 Joel Campbell
Did very little against England unlike first two World Cup games. Taken off after the hour. 5
6/22 Celso Borges
Played ok but not as attacking as before. Taken off for last ten. 5
7/22 Yeltsin Tejeda
Yeltsin Tejeda Played fine but never really a threat. 6
8/22 Bryan Ruiz
A couple of moments of quality skill but not very effect on his worst game of the World Cup so far. 6
9/22 Roy Miller
First start of the World Cup and performed well. 7
10/22 Giancarlo Gonzalez
Was solid at the back and gave England very little. 7
11/22 Oscar Duarte
Constantly good performer for Costa Rica and did well again. 7
12/22 Daniel Sturridge
Daniel Sturridge England's likeliest player to score, with ambitious efforts from the edge of the box in the first half and closer chances after that, but no success. 5
13/22 Adam Lallana
Lallana Some sharp runs round the corner, trying to out-wit the Costa Rican defence, and a few nice touches, but never too influential before he was taken off. 5
14/22 Ross Barkley
Not especially involved in play but he still can produce exciting moments, like when he made himself room to shoot with his left early in the second half. 5
15/22 James Milner
Worked tirelessly down the wings, as he always does, chasing passes but not always creating chances for team-mates when he got on the ball. 6
16/22 Jack Wilshere
The most dangerous of England's new players, he drove forward with the ball, played with his head up and sparked England's best moves. 7
17/22 Frank Lampard
Showed his years of experience with a controlling performance at the base of the midfield, giving a glimpse of the type of player England have missed. 6
18/22 Luke Shaw
As secure as any 18-year-old full-back on World Cup debut has a right to be, storming up and down the line, solid on and off the ball. 6
19/22 Chris Smalling
Solid defensively, although with not much to marshal, Smalling was slightly better with the ball than Phil Jagielka without quite being at the level England need. 6
20/22 Gary Cahill
On his third straight start, Cahil looked assured against opponents who were not as ambitious as they had been in their first two games. 6
21/22 Phil Jones
Never looked especially controlled, either while defending or going forward. Has to work this coming season on establishing a permanent role for England and Manchester United. 5
22/22 Ben Foster
Did not have too much to do but made one brilliant finger-tip save from Celso Borges' top-corner free-kick late in the first half. 7
Having reached Brazil, Costa Rica have prospered in the heat. Fulham's Bryan Ruiz, their captain, said beforehand that "the climactic conditions give us an advantage, in Costa Rica we are used to the humidity," and so it has proved. They have also, as Ruiz anticipated, played as a team not a collection of individuals like some countries (Cameroon and Ghana being the more obvious examples).
This is partly down to the coach, Colombian Jorge Luis Pinto, who places great store by positional discipline and a group ethic. This has enabled Costa Rica, unlike the team that came bottom of Group D, to be more than the sum of its parts; while the bulk of the squad play in Europe only two figured in the Champions League last season: Arsenal loanee Joel Campbell with Olympiakos, and Copenhagen's Christian Bolanos.
In this they are similar to tomorrow night's opponents, Greece, who have largely stuck to the template established by Otto Rehhagel in winning Euro 2004. The Greeks, though, are more defensive in outlook, qualifying despite scoring only two goals in three games. Pinto will look to emulate his countrymen who put three past Greece in their opening game causing them trouble on both flanks.
The Greeks will know all about Campbell, who scored nine goals last season for an Olympiakos side who provide three of Greece's defensive players.
Both sides, having not expected to meet each other at this stage, have been frantically plotting since qualification on Tuesday. Tejeda said, "We were thinking more about Colombia and the Ivory Coast and in the end came the least expected team. Now we have to change the video cassette."
Greece manager Fernando Santos will have been even more surprised to be facing Costa Rica, though perhaps the most taken aback of all are ITV Sport, who must have hoped to have England as tomorrow evening's primetime viewing, but now get the most unlikely knock-out tie since Portugal met North Korea at Goodison Park in 1966.
That match finished 5-3, Eusebio reviving the Portuguese after North Korea took an incredible 3-0 lead. ITV will hope tomorrow's game is just as dramatic.Reuse content

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I bought a new car at the end of October, I couldn't afford to get insurance right away, but I knew that after Christmas I would have enough money.
On December 27, 2012, coming home from vacation, I was rear-ended. I called the police, I gave my statement, and we all traded information. Unfortunately, I still did not have insurance. The police officers did not give me a ticket, but the BMV is suspending my license for 90 days.
I now have insurance and need to drive to get to work (there is no bus stop by my house). I am wondering what I can do, if anything (like a hardship/probationary license)??
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done in this circumstance. Steadfast rule is: do not drive if you do not have insurance. Fault does not matter, the fact that you did not get a ticket does not matter; these points are superseded by the fact that you were an uninsured driver who got into a car accident.

okay, thank you.
Sorry...but there is nothing you can do. If you were driving and you knew you were not insured you are not able to get a hardship license. It doesn't matter if you were at fault for the accident or if the officer gave you a ticket.Ask a similar question
okay, thank you
I'm sorry, no. Driving without insurance is illegal and puts yourself and others at risk.

okay, thank you
Due to the short time frame of the suspension, I am afraid to say that there is little that you can do. I, myself was rear-ended in December and also received a letter from the BMV. Fortunately, all I had to do was show proof of insurance. The state takes its' financial responsibility laws very seriously. Perhaps you can arrange to car pool or even ride a bicycle if necessary with occasional cab rides. Pursuing a legal action would be cost prohibitive and not timely.

The only secret about this formula is how utterly ordinary and boring it is. Actually, given the price the formula is downright insulting. This mineral oil- and wax-based cleanser uses synthetic beads to exfoliate skin. If it was only wax and exfoliating beads it would at least get an "average" rating but in this case the amount of fragrance is so wafting you can barely breathe. But even if you liked the aroma, fragrance isn't skin care. In fact fragrance is a problem for all skin types (see More Info to find out why). You would be far better off using just plain mineral oil (it's the first ingredient in this product) with a washcloth rather than this concoction. For additional details on plastic microbeads in cosmetics, see the More Info section below.
This product contains two extracts of lilies, one from the Nile and the other from India. As exotic as this might sound, they have no properties that are helpful for skin. Even if they did, the amount this contains is infinitesimal.
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135 and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
Plastic Microbeads in Cosmetics: This product contains polyethylene beads, which is an ingredient that has come under controversy in the recent past. In December of 2013, research published in the peer-reviewed journal, Marine Pollution Bulletin demonstrated that although polyethylene beads are non-toxic to humans, they are not filtered during sewage treatment and are accumulating in waterways. This means the beads have the potential to negatively affect marine wildlife who mistakenly consume them (Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2013).
Additional research published in December of 2013 demonstrated that polyethylene beads have the potential to absorb pollutants while in waterways. This research was conducted to establish the potential of absorption, however, and was not conducted using samples from actual waterways (Cell, 2013).
Beautypedia does not take an ideological stance in reviewing skincare products; rather, our reviews are based upon each product's potential harm or benefit to skin contingent upon what independent peer-reviewed scientific research has demonstrated. On issues like polyethylene beads in cosmetics or animal testing, we present the facts without judgment so that you may make your own decision whether or not this product is right for you.
This gentle formula carefully sweeps away dead skin cells and other impurities.

Guerlain At-A-Glance
Strengths: Lavish packaging (if that appeals to you); a good mascara; some excellent lipsticks.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; over-reliance on jar packaging; pervasive fragrance; overall mediocre to just plain bad skincare.
Guerlain's Paris pedigree, having evolved from a centuries-old fragrance house to a "lifestyle" line that prides itself on luxurious indulgences that promise to beautify (and perfume) almost every inch of you, still manages to hook plenty of unsuspecting women. Yet behind all of the enticing names and extraordinary claims lie some of the most unremarkable, overpriced skin-care products available. It may sound luxurious to find that gold is included in some of their formulations, unless you happen to know that when it's applied topically, gold is simply a potent allergen; there is no research showing it to have any effect on wrinkles or aging.
Guerlain's skin-care products contain a preponderance of ordinary cosmetic ingredients, with only a smattering of antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, and anti-irritants, and most of these elegant ingredients are hindered by jar packaging. It's one thing to spend more than you need to on a skin-care routine, but at least if you decide to do so you should shop the overpriced lines that will reward you with far better formulations than what Guerlain offers. Guerlain is the very definition of style usurping substance. For example, there are dozens and dozens of moisturizers in this line that are at best described as mediocre and out of date, while the sunscreens have issues of their own, including low SPF ratings and potentially insufficient UVA protection due to smaller-than-usual amounts of avobenzone. And despite the specialty claims they make for each product grouping, repetitive formulations are the hallmark of the Guerlain line—too bad not a single moisturizer or serum formula comes close to beating the competition; more often than not they fail miserably.
Guerlain has been under the ownership of Sephora parent company Louis Vuitton-Moet-Hennessy since 1994, and is available in many Sephora boutiques.

Men's Journal Approved - ALL-Terrain Sound
We are happy to say that Men's Journal reviewed ALL-Terrain Sound and were impressed!
"We used to dismiss the little Bluetooth speaker — with its wimpy noise, and worthless battery life — but designers have seemingly got wise to the complaints and are coming out with a slew of great little sound boxes you can take with you anywhere. The ALL-Terrain Sound Speaker is another success in this category.
The ALL-Terrain Sound is less expensive than many of the other wireless Bluetooth speakers we've tested. And taking its size and portability into consideration, we were impressed by the overall sound quality and volume — especially when you remember that you can drop it in the water without interrupting your favorite song."

text: Now that the fall season is here it's time to start recording again but! I turned on my Toshiba RS-tx20 and was met with a black screen. It is connected to a Comcast digital transport adapter INTO THE RF JACK for the last 2 years with no problems. I changed out the box thinking that was the problem and after testing the new box I still have the same problem. I repeated guided setup and when it asked me if i was connected to a cable box I answered yes but I thought the next question was supposed to be how am I connected (RF or RCA) that question never comes as well as the screen to setup and test the IR blaster. I remember those screens from other Series 2 setups I get a screen asking if I see video right after it asked about my channel line up. when I answer no I get stuck in a question loop to fix my box check my VIDEO INPUTS and try again. when I check my account screen it shows I'm connected via RF but there is an error. If I try feeding a signal into the Composite jacks during setup the screen remains black. If I unplug the cable box power from the wall the Tivo will say searching for signal on cable in. If I bypass and say I will troubleshoot later there is no place (that I can see) to change inputs in any screen. Other then the input problem the Tivo works fine (playback, menus, recording dvd's ect). All cables and 2 cable boxes (working) were tested during this process. I'm lost on this one and welcome any suggestions.

Hi all.
I need to replace the n/s wing mirror painted backing as mine is cracked from the previous owner clipping something.
As far as I can see there is no further damage as everything works fine (mirror, mirror adjustment and folding mechanism.
I was wondering if anybody has a guide on how to remove the backing from the mirror housing?
Do they just clip in?
Do I need to remove the mirror itself? If so how?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Online Booking
All bookings are now online, our full weekends are updated where possible on our home page, and are also reflected in the booking process.
Additional Booking Charges
|£2 per night
|Additional Car (1st Car free)
|£5 per night
|£5 for duration of stay
|£5 per night (no charge for tent awning)
Tent Bookings
Unfortunately we do not have electricity for tent pitches, but there is electricity in the shower blocks for charging phones etc, together with a kettle, fridge and freezer.
Please book one tent per pitch, and up to 6 guests per pitch. We have a limited number of pitches available.
Minimum Night Stays
Due to high demand over the weekends, we now have a two night minimum policy from June to the end of August, and a three night minimum over the bank holiday weekends, that is the 26 – 29 May (May bank holiday) and 25 – 28 August.
There are also two night minimum at weekends for Easter (14/15/16 April), the bank holiday weekend of 28/29 April/1 May.
Group Bookings
If you would like to book as a group (four or more tents), please email us first to check availability of pitches. We need to check that we have a group area for you, and enough pitches available too, so we can ensure that you can be placed together. You will then be able to add each pitch individually and add your group reference, eg Murray group.
The weekends in the summer become fully booked as early as March, so it's best to check before you start booking. All pitches booked on line, but we can let you know if we have space for you all to group together.
You will need to book each tent individually, and add your group name in the booking notes ("further information").
Please note that we are a family friendly campsite and not a campsite for parties, as we have a no noise/fires after 11pm policy, and our guests book on that basis.
Karsten Tent Rental
We have two Karsten tents, and because of the way they are constructed, they are ready pitched, and not moveable. They are both pitched in the lower paddock from May to September, inclusive about 20 yards from each other. The Karsten tent has one main section, and can comfortably sleep 4 (or 2 adults and 3 infants). They are 3.5m square. Both have ground sheets and air mattresses for four, so you need to bring bedding and any cooking facilities you need. No pets are allowed in the Karsten tents.
BBQs and small open fires are allowed but must be raised above ground to avoid damage to the grass. Firepits are available for purchase or to rent for the duration of your stay. They can be also used for BBQ's as they come with a grill. We also have wood, kindling and fire starters available for purchase.
Electric hook ups
Electric hook ups are available for caravans, camper vans, trailer tents and motorhomes, but not tents currently. There is electricity for charging phones etc, in the shower block, and there are also fridges and freezers for campers' use.
The electric pitches are together which means they are not near the tent pitches. If you are in a group which has caravans and tents, please let us know and we will endeavour to put you as close as possible.
If you have visitors for the day, these can be added to your reservation at the time of booking, as an extra. Or please email us if you would like visitors, as we have a maximum number we allow to take pressure off the facilities.
Please note that we are a family campsite, with a no-noise policy after 11pm. Music of any kind is not allowed on the campsite.
International Debit Cards
For our International guests, with International debit cards, please note, that when making your booking online, your 'Debit Card' payment may only process if you select the 'Credit Card' option, so if it doesn't work, please try the credit card option.
Opening Dates
We are closed for the winter season from 1 November 2016 to the 1 March 2017.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The locker room was deathly quiet, because the Ducks' playoff life had slipped away. Never mind what was going on in Vancouver, where the Avalanche was playing. The Ducks had a three-goal lead at one point, and a two-goal lead going into the third period. And in the end the only thing they had to show for it was disappointment and the prospect of a long offseason.
The Ducks were beaten by the Kings 5-4 in a shootout Tuesday at the Honda Center, with Anze Kopitar making a nice finesse move to reach around Ducks goalkeeper Curtis McElhinney for a 2-1 advantage.
Game, set, season.
It salvaged a night for the Kings (44-27-7), who had already backed their way into the playoffs. Early on, they looked like they had senioritis with graduation on the horizon. Graduation, though, is a breeze compared to the NHL playoffs.
"The second half of this game is what we need to look at and bring it through the rest of these regular-season games and carry it through to the playoffs," said Terry Murray, the Kings' coach. "The checking gets harder, the physical play gets heavier and nastier, and you have to pay a price to go and score."
The Kings won despite falling behind 3-0 on first-period goals by Jason Blake and Teemu Selanne and a second-period score by Bobby Ryan. Selanne added a second goal for a 4-1 lead later in the second period, giving him five in the past four games.
But the tenacity of the Kings' fourth line -- Brad Richardson, Rich Clune and Raitis Ivanans -- eventually reached all corners of the bench. Down 4-2 going into the third period, the Kings got goals from Justin Williams and, at 18:51, Michal Handzus to force overtime.
Then, down in the shootout, the Kings got goals from Jack Johnson and Kopitar.
By that time the Ducks (38-31-9, 86 points) -- who have three games remaining -- already had been eliminated from the playoffs, because Colorado earlier had defeated Vancouver 4-3 in a shootout to clinch the final playoff berth. Colorado has 93 points.
"Today was a game that was very similar to many that we've played this year. Disappointing," said Ducks captain Scott Niedermayer. "We just wanted to go out and play as well as we could. Whether you're first in the league or last, that should always be your mindset, to go out and compete hard and play as a team and try and be as good as you can. That's what we've been trying to do. I think we did early on and had our feet moving to generate things, then started to watch. They obviously turned it up, were more aggressive, but we've played many games this year where we had a lead and started watching and the other team works back."
Through three periods, the Kings outshot the Ducks 40-21, but the Ducks held a 7-2 advantage in the overtime. It was the first loss for McElhinney, who had been 4-0-1 since arriving in a trade from Calgary and filling in for Jonas Hiller, who has suffered back spasms.
"Maybe you think you're safe with a two-goal lead, but at this point you're going up against a playoff-contending team," McElhinney said, "and we just sat back and let them take it to us in the third."
The Ducks had made the playoffs in all four previous seasons under coach Randy Carlyle.
"We can be better than what we were as a hockey club," Carlyle said. "We had some peaks and some valleys, and the valleys cost us."
The Ducks got off to a slow start this season, and they were 0-4-1 coming out of the Olympic break but made a strong late-season push by going 8-2-1 before the setback Tuesday. They are 4-0-2 in their past six games.
"This team has been under a lot of pressure, but you can't make excuses," Carlyle said. "We didn't play at a high enough level for 60 minutes, and tonight, 65."
Niedermayer agreed there was more left in the tank for the Ducks. "You should not be satisfied with what we've done this year," he said. "We're a better team than this."
Maybe so. They will have the entire offseason to think about it, and Murray knows what it will be like.
"Whenever you're in [the playoffs] and then you're out, it's devastating," he said. "It's a big blow. It hurts as a player, I've been there myself, I've been there as a coach. It's really hard when the season ends, you go two, three, four weeks and you're wondering, looking back, reflecting, and you're upset with yourself, you're mad at yourself, and finally you know you have to move on to get ready for the following season. It's really hard when you're a good hockey club not to make it."

Author's Note: This is the last Chapter of The Life of Being Adopted, I hoped everyone enjoyed reading it.
Chapter 10: Happily Ever.....After???
I'm awakened by something banging on the door, Brent comes in the living room and get's a Metal Baseball bat and I get a Regular Baseball bat incase someone tries to break in. The door breaks down and it's Carlos pissed off as hell. He looks at me and pins me to the ground and say's " WHERE IS SHE? WHERE'S MY MOTHER YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!" I laught and say "She's not here if your worried about that, Some one else has her like 6-7 other guys, Good luck finding her, If you want her alive I suggest you leave us alone" I push him off me and Brent grab's Carlos and throw's him to the door. Brent helps me up and Carlos say's " You'll Pay, I swear to God you'll pay for what you've done" and he walks off slamming the door, Cammile comes down and say's "What was that banging and yelling?" Brent looks at her and say's "Nothing just go back up stairs please" She Nod's and heads back up stairs. I look at Brent and say " Um... Brent.. I think Cammile is Pregnat?" He looks at me and say's " What!!! How can you tell?" I look at him and say " She's been thowing up alot lately and I can tell her Stomach is getting smaller and her Breast's are getting bigger" He looks at me and say's " Well If she is Pregnat I'll be there to help you raise it" I smile and walk up to the Room Cammile is in and I hear small cry's. I walk in and I see her on the bed with a small white stick in her hand and she looks up at me and start's to cry harder, I walk over to her sit on the bed and put my arm's around her and say " It's okay, It's okay,I'm here" She sniff's and looks up at me and say's " Moose, I'm...I'm... I cut her off and say " Pregnat?" She looks at me shocked and say's " How can you tell?" I look at her and say " Your stomach has gotten smaller,Your Breast's are getting bigger and you've been throwing up alot lately" She sigh's and say's "I'm So sorry Moose, I didn't have the courage to tell you because I didn't want to cause more trouble with you and Carlos at the moment" I sigh and say " Trouble? Baby Your never trouble to me. I mean I might be shocked that your pregnat, but that doesn't changr anything baby, I'll always love you." She sniff's and I lean in and kiss her on the lips and deepen the kiss, She let's out a small moan on my lips when I'm kissing her. I get up and say " Cam, Now that your pregnat and I know, You need to eat stuff or else you'll have a miscarriage and the baby will die, Is there anything you want to eat?" She looks at me and say's " I do want a Burger and fries, Can I get that please Moose?" I nod and walk out to the living room to find Brent making burger's and fries, I say " what is this?" Brent looks at me and say's " I heard Cammile wants Burger's and Fries so why not make some for her after all now I know she's pregnat we gotta keep her fed and healthly" I nod and help him finish and I get a plate of 2 burger's and fries and walk up to Cammile's Room and say " Here Baby, Brent helped me make them" She looks at me with hungry eyes and say's " Mhmmm Yummy.. I don't think I can eat 2 burger's" I walk over to her and hand her the food and say " well incase your still hungry after the first one eat the other even if you don't finish it, save it for later" I kiss her on her forehead and walk out the room before Cammile say's " Moose?" I turn to her and say " Yeah?" She say's " Thanks for everything Moose, I don't know what I would do without you" I smile and say " I don't know what I would do either" I walk her room and shut the door but left it cracked, Incase she wanted to go to the bathroom when she's not feeling to well. I sit on the couch in the living room and take a nap when I realized it's 8:30 Pm at night, I get up and say " Shit!! Brent where are you?" He comes out his room and say's " What! what's wrong? I hear something break in Cammile's room before I could say a word to Brent, We look at each other and run up the stair's to her room, when we see Carlos in there beating her. I turn into a wolf and so does Brent and we charge at Carlos but he jumped out the window before we could attack him, I turn back into Human form and go to Cammile, I start to cry because she looks really hurt. I say " Cam? Cam can you hear me? She looks at me and say's " I hear you Moose" I sigh in relief and say " Where did he punch you?" She looks at me and say's " My face,leg's and...and... Stomach" she start's to cry, I look at Brent and say " Brent, Call the guys Kill Carlos Fucking Mother and we'll see how to play this game" Brent nod's and walks out the room. I pick Cammile up and carry her to the bathroom and start some warm water in the tub and put her in, I start to wash the blood away from her and gently put pressure on her stomach.She give's a small groan and I say " Sorry" She say's " It's okay,Mind if I relax here in the water for a while?" I nod and leave out the room
When I get out of the Bathroom, I see Blood in the hallway, down the stairs and into the living room I see a Pool of Blood and Carlos body on the ground in his own blood. I laugh and say to Brent " Did you do this?" He nod's and say's " I'm Sorry Moose, I couldn't control my self, After I called the guys he was in the living room and he attacked me so I turned into my wolf and Killed him, I'm So Sorry" I say " It's okay Brent, I was gonna kill him anyways but it seems you beat me to it" I sit on the couch and say " Now that Carlos is dead, Were Safe including Cammile, she has my child inside of her, Now what do I do? I guess I can move into a new house with Cammile" Brent looks at me and say's " No your gonna live here, I'm moving in a few day's with my pack, It's time we find a Mate after all it's part of a wolf thing and if we don't find a Mate within next month, were gonna go crazy and kill everything, But it's a good thing I like this girl and she likes me back time to make my move" I say " Wow thanks Brent, I'll send a Picture of our Child when it's born, I hope you and that special girl work out, Thanks for everthing Brent, I mean it" Brent walks over to me and we hug and he say's " I gotta go, my Pack is calling me, Feel free to call me and we can go out some time just us guys" I say " Bye Brent, Thanks for everything"
Author's Note: I hoped you liked my story, Sorry it was on 10 chapter's but I hope to do more than that on a new story soon, I also added Carlos picture and Moose/Cammiles baby picture they had a baby boy named Alejandro

One Man Vs. The World
A lonely man walks down the desolate dirt path on yet another journey through this thing called "life". He carries his heart of gold on the sleeve of his sweat stained polo shirt and the weight of the world on his weather beaten shoulders. He can feel the pain of others as though it was inflicted on him. Who is this guy? no one really knows because he hides amongst the general world population secretly watching, waiting, and pondering the next good deed.
He walks and talks like everyone else when hes around everyone else, but get him alone and you will find the true inner workings of him. He has the mind of the most brilliant and brightest the world has to offer. He has the biggest most truth filled and love filled heart of gold anyone or anything has to offer. He walks proud, with pride, and tall like he's truely geniune. He has the soul that makes him fear no person, no thing, nothing, just like he's wearing some kind of shield, but even the best shield and best laid plans surcome to the reality and nature of the "beast".
This "beast" is massive on the biggest of scales. It doesnt discriminate or judge . Its power is uncontrollable and unmatched by anything man can dream of. What is this "beast" you may ask? This "beast" is the World. The world is full of some many different things and situations, some bad some good. So where does this one man fit into the equation?
One Man is trying to change the world. Wherever he may be or wherever his travels may take him he tries to leave the same impression the first time everytime. He helps the less fortunante even though he doesnt have much. He brings joy and happiness to those in dire need and situations. He helps how ever he possibly can. He knows no boundaries, extreme prejudices or stereotypes. He only knows how to help and how to love. He gives advice passionately to those who care to listen and he will help the confused understand life is all about chances so grab one and give it a shot.
One Man gives kindness and sweetness to all that want and deserve it. His task is hard some say even impossible, but in his mind one man is all it takes to change the world. Even with all the good , triumps , and rewards there still is the reality of the dark, bad, and unimaginable things. One Man has been through thick and thin, the darkest of days and the deepest of nights. Everytime he has fallen he just gets up and dusts off his favorite stonewashed sun bleached blue jeans, smiling and looking towards the heavens with a gleam in his eye. He keeps on going through the cycle of life and his quest of taming the "beast".

I wonder if my love of the past is more curiosity or fascination? For someone who loves dreaming of the past, almost as if I would prefer to live there, I have found an interesting hobby. I have started to follow my roots, tacking down those elusive tendrils of information, that enjoy hiding in the most unusual of locations. There is something ever so satisfying about finding one little thread that opens the way to so many more characters of my very own heritage.
The search is time consuming, and every bit as enjoyable as anything I've done. Even the frustration of following a link to find it inaccessible due to lack of funds. Since I have far more time than money lately, I just keep on plugging away. Filling my days with constant searches, combing through mountains of links, jumping at the slightest possibility.
I have found one thing for sure, access to certain search engines, is not free. So I'm asking anyone who can spare a dollar or two to donate to my curiosity, and help me find those missing links. With the funds, I will upgrade my account on MyHeritage.com, and make full use of the site. I'm even considering starting another blog, dedicated to the information I find. To write the stories of my ancestors as I uncover them. It sounds like an approachable challenge, and a very rewarding one.
If you can spare a few dollars, please click the donate button. I will be eternally grateful, and reward my readers with stories of times past. Thank you in advance for the kindness I know is out there. Appropriately, the picture above is entitled "I Need You"

You debuted a huge new trick as a part of your run that certainly helped your cause, but the rest of your routine was solid, as well. Can you pinpoint why you were able to come in and be so dominant this year?
I honestly don't know why tonight. I work really hard to be ready for this every year, but you just never know how your run will compare to the other guys. I knew the Rock Solid flip would be good, but I was thinking top-three, if I'm lucky. No way first place. I can't believe this! I hope it's still real when I wake up tomorrow [laughs].
Did you execute your entire run as planned, or were you forced to change things up at any point?
Yeah, I had two different runs planned with different tricks, and I got through them both with no mistakes. I was for sure nervous, but I remembered all my tricks, and stayed pretty smooth. It's good.
It's definitely good. Real good! In fact, your two runs were the two highest scoring of the final. The silver medal actually went to the third highest scoring performance.
That's crazy. I don't even know what to say. These guys are the best in the world. I feel lucky to even compete with them, so it's difficult to understand why it all came together tonight. I'm so happy, and so thankful to all my sponsors who helped me get here.
In the event that run number one didn't go well, did you have any other new tricks up your sleeve to up the ante in run two?
[Laughs] No, no, no… That was all my tricks. I did everything tonight.
You finally got your X Games gold medal, so what do you look forward to next?
This was my last competition. I'm retiring now that I have the gold [laughs]. No, I still look forward to the Best Trick contest tomorrow night, but more than that I look forward to getting married soon. I also get my green card this September, so I'll continue living in the U.S. and riding dirt bikes. It's the best.
