Taking Off
Robin polished off her dinner in record time and was painstakingly cleaning the grease and salt off her fingers when Ziva got up to go on a bathroom run. Robin stood up as well, knowing full well that if nature called later on, someone might be too busy to see her to the W.C.*
"Ziva!" Robin called quickly, standing. "Since you're already going, can I go along?"
Ziva nodded and waited for Robin to catch up, then proceeded onwards to the restroom. Tony looked after them, and then looked over to McGee's desk, which was empty. No one to tease. Tony sighed and settled down to start some actual work.
Robin was washing her hands when Ziva, hands dry already, leaned against the wall, studying the young Scotswoman. Robin for the most part ignored her, but as she dried her hands, she met Ziva's gaze and was forced to ask,
"There is something not quite right about you," Ziva told her, studying her as though she was a puzzle to be solved.
"And this coming from you?" Robin scoffed, throwing away a paper towel. "You're about as normal as a Skirt and Dragon pair."
"As a what?" Ziva asked, confused.
"Never mind," Robin said dismissively, completely at ease with being suspicious to Ziva. She didn't trust any of them either, so Gibbs and his team being on their guard were perfectly natural. They had only just met.
As they returned to the bullpen, Robin picked up her book. Subtracting the interruptions, she had been reading for about five hours, by her count. And taking about five hours to read two hundred pages, give or take a few was not bad, for her anyway. She opened Deep Six once more and resumed reading to the clatter of typing.
"Got anything for me Abs?" Gibbs asked as he strode into her lab. McGee's head shot up, catching the smell of barbecue.
"Umm," Abby said, her eyes locked on the bag of food. Gibbs handed her the bag and Abby began explaining as she unwrapped her food.
"Major Mass Spec has been working on the swabs and—" suddenly the computer began beeping and Abby beamed at Gibbs. "Thanks Obi-Wan. According to this…O'Malley and Rayes both use Kiwi shoe polish containing…"
"Mink oil," Gibbs finished.
"Correctamundo, el jefe," Abby said, delighted. Just then, the video-communicator she had with Ducky blinked on.
"Abigail? Is Jethro there with you?"
"Yeah, he's right here."
Gibbs stuck his head into the view of the camera. "You got something for me, Duck?"
"Indeed. I think you should have a look at this. It reminds me of…Jethro?" But Gibbs had already left Abby's lab and was heading down to the morgue.
Robin was getting too tired to concentrate on the book. It was giving her a headache, so she put it down and listened to the sounds of NCIS. Clattering keyboards, the occasional phone ringing, soft chatter pierced only twice by the dinging bell of the elevator. She wanted to engrain the sounds of NCIS in her mind forever, as today was the first day she had met her father. She dug through her purse, which had been returned to her. She pulled out a digital tape recorder and began speaking into it. Her soft words soon reached Ziva's ears and the other woman's head shot up, concentrating on the unknown language Robin was speaking. She could make out maybe five words out of the whole thing. 'Father, NCIS, first meeting, mix-up, team' were the terms she thought she caught, but she really wasn't sure.
"You are speaking Inti now?" Ziva asked.
"It's an audio diary. A private audio diary, which I would prefer no one had an ear on. So yes, Inti is the way to go. It's easier than our Gaelic—Scottish Gaelic, before you ask."
"How many languages do you speak?" Ziva enquired.
"Since Inti is a mixture of hundreds of languages, it's really hard to go with an exact number," Robin replied.
"You are avoiding the question."
"You're being nosy."
Tony chuckled, "She's got you there, Ziva. 'Nosy ninja' has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"
"As does 'dead DiNozzo'" Ziva responded, lifting her gaze to rest on her partner.
He didn't say anything, but the whole dangerous-I-can-kill-you-with-office-supplies thing was a turn on. The threat, though he was sure she would hurt him if he continued bugging her, was more attractive than it was frightening. Robin watched the whole scenario, carefully piecing together the book and the scene before her. She half expected Gibbs to walk in that very moment and say—
"What've you got?"
Robin blinked, confirming that Gibbs was there, not something she imagined. He was. The accuracy of the book was a little unsettling. Tony stood first and rattled off some unrelated data. Ziva had about the same to offer.
"Ducky had some news for me. Cause of death was suffocation, but not by smoke. They were drugged, then gassed with something. Abby's working on the samples now."
"Where does that leave us, Boss?"
"McGee usually handles going through computer information."
"Look up the phone records of all the possible suspects—home, work, and cell. Look for any common numbers or anything suspicious. Split them. Once you're done, go home. Get some sleep. We'll start again in the morning."
"Yes, Boss." Tony replied. Ziva nodded and the pair resumed their typing. Gibbs turned to Robin.
"Ducky's going home in a few minutes. He'll be picking you up and taking you with him. You have luggage?"
"I have a rental car outside with my luggage in it. And I booked a hotel room."
Gibbs indicated the phone sitting on McGee's desk. "Call and cancel."
Robin thought a moment, considering, but then obeyed. Gibbs looked up at Tony and Ziva, whom had stopped typing as soon as he had begun speaking to Robin.
"Something wrong with your computers?"
"No Boss. Getting to work." Tony gave himself a sharp slap to the back of the head. As Gibbs walked out of the bullpen, he gave Ziva a head slap as well.
"Eavesdropping is rude, Officer David."
"It will not happen again Gibbs."
"Yeah. Right." He walked into the elevator, hitting the button that would take him back to Abby's lab.
Ducky arrived as Robin was nervously toying with her necklace. He smiled warmly at her,
"Ready to go my dear?"
Robin nodded slowly, uncertain. "I don't see why I cannae just go to my hotel room."
"Special Agent Gibbs already has exposed you to the case. So now you have to stay with an agent to insure that you keep any information to yourself." Ducky headed toward the elevator and Robin followed him, her purse slung over one shoulder.
"I need to get my things from the car first. I parked in the visitor's lot."
Ducky nodded calmly and after Robin collected her suitcase and a backpack, they proceeded to his car. When she saw it, Robin gasped in delight. She walked around it, examining the car from all angles.
"It's a vintage Morgan," Ducky explained proudly. Robin ran her fingers over the car's hood ever-so-carefully.
"Frumoaso," she breathed.
Ducky nodded, smiling. "You can put your things in the back."
Robin did so, and walked around to the right side of the car and climbed in. The driver's seat was on the left, as it was supposed to be. Why they drove on the wrong side of the road and had their seat on the right rather than the left was a mystery to her. But as she was technically American, she would respect the country's differences, as she respected the differences of the Inti peoples. Ducky began to drive and Robin looked over at him, hardly believing that he was truly there.
"Tell me another story," she said softly, hopeful.
Ducky smiled and began to speak; spinning a tale of what he had done in his youth. Robin listened, enchanted, as the Morgan rumbled quietly to her father's house.
"What've you got for me Abs?"
"Gibbs! Right on schedule, as usual."
"Right. Well, I identified the substance, Gibbs. And you're not going to like it."
There was a pause and Gibbs moved his head forward and tilted it slightly to one side, waiting.
"It's called Cyclon B. As soon as it hits the air, it produces hydrogen cyanide. They were poisoned, Gibbs."
Gibbs nodded tersely and walked out of the lab, calling over his shoulder, "Go home, Abs, McGee. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow."
"Gibbs, it's only eight o'clock," Abby protested.
"And once you clean up, drive home, and have taken care of things there, it'll be nine or nine-thirty. Go get some sleep, Abs."
"Gibbs, I haven't gone to bed at nine-thirty since…Gibbs?" But he was already gone.
Robin listened to three stories on the way to Ducky's house. Once she got there, was showed around, and was fixed a hot cup of tea, she had heard five. By the time she had finished her tea, it was eight. Her eyelids were drooping. It was 9:38 at night here. She was too tired to calculate the time at home. She trudged upstairs to the room she was staying in.
"Goodnight Dad."
"Goodnight Robin."
She changed into pajamas; loose clothes that were soft and comfortable. She halfway through her first decade of the rosary when she fell asleep.
Tony and Ziva were mostly through the phone calls when Gibbs stopped in. It was nearly ten.
"Go home. Finish tomorrow."
"Gibbs, we—" Ziva began, but Gibbs shot her a look and she shut up.
Ziva and Tony collected their gear and rode down the elevator together, then walked to their respective cars.
"It has been an odd day."
"Yup," Tony agreed. He let his gaze rest on her as she turned to walk to her car. She was so beautiful…but he forced his gaze off of her and walked to his own car. He drove home and went to bed, as did she.
Abby and Tim cleaned up the lab to the best of their abilities and went home separately. Abby made a quick call to the sisters as she had promised. Tim sat at his typewriter and thought for a while, trying to process the events of the day. How could so much have occurred since that morning? It seemed to him that the day had been much longer, a week, a year. He set his fingers gently on the keys and closed his eyes, breathed in and out. Soft jazz played in the background. His fingers sprung to life and McGee typed whatever came to mind, just letting the words flow until his mind was empty and he could feel sleep tugging at him. It was only then that he put away his record, filed his free writing piece until he could read it with a clear head. His eyes skimmed the first line as he filed it away and it relayed in his mind as his eyes shut, head on the pillow.
It was Tommy that spoke first to the red-haired woman before them, even before Tibbs. "Who are you?"
Gibbs's sandpaper moved steadily with the grain of the wood, smoothing as he thought. He had seen many things as an NCIS agent, and this sickened him as much as any other murder. It took a twisted sort of mind to commit murder and this one was…he wasn't sure what the word was for it. Sick covered most crimes, and brutal, vicious, and wrong came to mind, but those weren't the right words either. Somehow, though, his gut told him that there was more to this case. Things were only taking off.
*W.C. stands for water closet and in Europe is a term for the bathroom.
BUM BUM BUUUUUM!!!! Many thanks to my excellent Beta and of course, Don Bellisario for creating these fabulous characters (except for Robin and Amy of course.) Reviews make me very happy and make me want to write more, so if you want me to write more, review me!!! Commentary and criticism welcome, but no flames please. It's just not polite.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

As Lorrie lay asleep I worked on the radio, which only took a few hours to complete, but whether it worked or not was another question. The sounds of airships and lights piercing the sky and windows discouraged me to turn the radio on in fear of being detected. I looked at Lorrie who was now peacefully asleep reminding me of the days before she was taken away, and the whole gang had decided to take a night out of the slums and camp out under the stars. Those were a happier time; I never imagined what was going on now would happen to me. Back then I guess I just imagined that I would fix everything, turn this world around and make mars a better place without a hitch. Now I was being hunted, now I had super human abilities, now I had realized things wouldn't be so easy. I even began to doubt myself, my left shoulder wound although better was still a massive a hole and made it hard to move it without feeling intense pain. I needed medical attention on it as soon as possible, I couldn't risk losing the use of any of my limbs. Yet it's not like I had money to get it fixed and all the doctors on mars wanted to see the cash before doing anything to help you. Selfish bastards I thought. Although the doctors also needed a way to make a living. I then decided to blame the government for not funding the medical system. Another searchlight pierced through the darkness missing Lorrie and I because of the shadow cast by the doorway. We had picked a room that had no windows and was not close to the exterior of the building. The light faded as the building shook from the force of the airship flying above. We couldn't stay here another night, we needed to find a place that they would never search.
I wondered if the airship search was for the benefit of the escaped experiments from superpowers inc or if it was for the rebels that we had heard about before. I wondered if the rebels and I had a common goal. Although I feared the rebels would just use people like me as more of a weapon. That didn't change the fact that I wanted to meet them. We needed all the friends we could get we wouldn't last long against the efforts of the government and superpowers inc trying to find us, along with those underlings and that super clone on the lookout for us. Shards faced flashed in front of me from the thought of the super clone. Was he alive? Would he forgive me for not having the strength to aid him?
"dammit!"I slammed my fist on the ground. The man had changed and there was a good chance the change meant nothing. That wasn't the only thing that was bothering me it seemed like I was getting weaker every time I fought, and worse was the other part of me seemed to gain more control each time. He was infringing upon my ability to fight, I was afraid that in the middle of a fight I would lose myself to him and if that were to happen I would kill Lorrie, or Visp and Newt if they were okay. Or what if I killed innocent civilians if I were to lose control? I couldn't let it happen yet I doubted I could stop myself from losing control. I also doubted I could be doing much protecting with my arm and shoulder in this condition, my arm probably couldn't withstand the force of an explosion, I neglected to tell Lorrie of this but she probably already knew. I hated feeling helpless I needed to turn the tables around, on government, superpowers Inc, my own condition and everything else that stood in my way. Another searchlight filtered through the doorway and the building began to shake but it didn't stop. The sound of engines and men shouting above filled my ears. This building was going to be searched!
"Lorrie!" I hissed loud enough to hopefully wake her up, but quiet enough to remain undetected. She groggily pushed an imaginary person away mumbling something about sleep," Lorrie wake up!" I said a little more loudly.
"Huh, what?" She exclaimed tiredly.
"This building is being searched we need to get out."
"They found us?!" She said her voice and face suddenly becoming much sharper.
"I don't think so but they will if we don't move. It might be easier if you phase through the walls, to avoid being detected."
"What about you?" She said with concern.
"I can look after myself." I said without knowing how I was going to make that happen.
"And the radio?"
"We'll place it in this box and come back for it. You go first. If you could get their attention away from me by causing a disturbance elsewhere that would be awesome."
"Alright where will we meet up?"
" I don't know here if possible. Go!" I said anxiety filling my insides. If we were to be detected now I feared that there would be no escape. We were madly outnumbered and nowhere to go, and we were still recovering from superpowers Inc. We just couldn't catch a damn breath! Lorrie phased through the wall, as footsteps filled the empty concrete rooms around us. I was confident nothing would happen to her but yet I still wished I could follow her to make sure nothing would happen to her. I heard the sound of Lorrie making a racket on the side of the building drawing the attention of the most of men in her direction. It was my turn to move now, and stepped lightly out of the doorway doing my best to stay in the shadows. So far no men but around the corner two men stood guard by the staircase. Both carrying crazy big looking machine guns, and fully outfitted with gear. If I attempted to fight it would be game over, but if I stood here I would be detected. It was a no win situation. I had to rely on distraction, but just simply throwing a rock wouldn't solve the problem, and using my flash agility seemed plausible, but I bet they set up motion detectors for that. I had no doubt that superpowers Inc had prepared them. A tense thirty seconds passed by as my insides wrestled each other trying to spill out. I considered my slim options available Lorrie came to my rescue. It must have been her as loud bang from below caused both of the men to rush away from the stairs. What did she do? Please let her be safe! I thought as took my opportunity to make it down the stairs avoiding the detection systems they placed. On the next level I heard one of the men's com systems going off.
"It was nothing, possibly just a loose beam from above falling from airship surveillance."
"How much longer are we going to be here sir?" Another voice came through the com.
"As long as it takes to make sure no one is hiding in it and as long as it takes to fill it full of traps for those who may take up residence here."
Dammit coming back here wasn't going to be an option, but we needed that radio. I had a decision to make: go back and grab the radio, or leave it and build another. It was a no brainer but being set back another day displeased me. I made my way to a window avoiding the men who were checking empty rusted crates. Before crawling out the window I checked the skies for airships so I wouldn't be seen in one of their spotlights. Once I stood outside with the breeze caused by the airships I needed to make a run for it. I didn't see any signs of Lorrie but I tried to think of a place we both knew of that we would go to. Nothing came to mind exactly except for the old hideout that used to be an underground cavern but unfortunately the ceiling had collapsed on itself; however that was after Lorrie's disappearance so she might have thought of going there, but the option that she had already found that out while she was dragging me here might have happened. I still went for it though because it was all I had. I didn't make it that far though because search teams had already forced me to take up residence in an alleyway narrowly being discovered a few times. This didn't bode well for me, what if Lorrie had already been caught? No she would have put up enough of a fight that I would have noticed, but what of Visp and Newt? I waited for an hour hoping that when the sun rose that the search teams would leave. It was a foolish hope but it was all I had now. More men with flashlights searched the alley again. I pressed myself up against the wall praying that I would phase or fade away into it, I held my breath, and my insides squirmed. The men stopped and started to have some trivial conversations about their jobs, and how pissed their wives were. I couldn't hold my breath much longer. My lungs were going to explode any moment. I let my breath out and breathed in deeply catching the attention of the men but before their lights found me I heard the sound of swift combat before, then the appearance of Lorrie extending her hand. I smiled but avoided taking her hand.
"Where were you earlier?" I asked quietly.
"Finding a safer place. I will tell you everything later. Just head up this alleyway till the red building; I will keep the search teams off your back till then." She said before phasing through the wall opposite of me. Now she was protecting me despite my promise to protect her. I was slightly frustrated by that it was true that I could do nothing in this current situation except run, and hide even if I was at 100 percent. This was Lorries realm, she could escape easily with her ability to phase, and physic navigation, she knew where to go, and could forge a path of least resistance. Staying hidden and escaping was just something she had with choices of powers she chose. I chose brutal force and combat, I probably should have picked something that would aid in escape. I made it to the red building but Lorrie wasn't there yet, and wasn't for a while. It was unnerving especially when she phased through the wall behind pretending to capture me. I almost shouted but she covered my mouth.
"Quiet it's just me. Look at this place." She said pushing panel over revealing a hole in the side of the house that lead into an underground service tunnel that's access had been cut off by debris.
"It's perfect." I said in awe as Lorrie replaced the panel quietly.
"Yeah I thought so too."
"So how did you find me?"
"Physic navigation, although I didn't let you get to far away from me, I had a feeling that you would run into trouble , so I kept an eye on things and you can thank me for not running into much trouble."
"Thanks." I said, trying not to sound like I needed the help but she and I both new I would have been discovered if it weren't for her. Maybe it was more for my sake I didn't want to feel helpless and useless but that's all I could feel right now, " I guess you also know we can't go back to grab the radio." She nodded, "Do you think the search teams will be gone by morning?" I asked.
"I think for the most part they can't search everybody, but there will be stops, and there will still be an effort to suppress all movements made by anyone who escaped superpowers inc. Although i doubt it will to hard to move on the streets by day undetected."
"That's good. I am no good at this staying hidden thing." I said finding myself looking directly into her dark blue eyes. I thought about earlier for a second remembering how close her face was to mine, something inside of me to longed to hold her again, but I was too afraid of what she would say or do or how it would be perceived to her. I also couldn't let myself go farther then we already did not while I wrestled with the other side of me, not while we just had narrowly avoided capture.
"So what now?" I asked feeling tiredness overcome me forcing me to take a seat on the cold concrete.

|This is a discussion on Online poker or live poker which do u think is a better game within the online poker forums, in the Poker Rooms section; Is online play the same as live play? I think live poker is better than online poker because people play hands online that they wouldn't
Frankly, I like live play better. I don't claim to have any polished ability to read opponents, but I find that I play tighter, better poker live than online. I also like the more relaxed atmosphere, talking with those beside me, and the waitresses bringing me drinks! I think live play is just more fun. More importantly, I think there is more loose money in live play than in online play...lost of retired folks wanting a little action, folks who would never play online and play very loose and passive.
Let me illustrate what I talked about, above. I just got back from my local casino. This is my 5th trip this winter. On the first trip I played $1/$2 No Limit Hold'em. I bought a Coke just before arriving at the casino and left it in my truck. 2 hours and $200 later, I was on my way home and the Coke hadn't even had time to get warm! The No Limit games are populated with decent to very good players who will put you to the test for all your chips in a heartbeat. Before the second trip, I decided that a change of game plan was in order. I played $2/$4 Limit for 7 hours on $100 and ended up winning $20. The 3rd trip, I won $130. On the 4th trip, $70 (after being up over $150), and today I won $190.
Again, I make no claim to be a great player. But, the trick to beating these games is tight, solid poker. Believe me, you will be the only tight player at these tables....75% of the time there will be 6-9 players seeing the flop. Almost no one folds, so don't even bother raising until you think you have the nuts or near nuts...then punish them. Beware...Granny will play any two cards to the river and will occasionally hit her runner, runner straight to beat the set that you hit on the flop (happened twice to me today). But, this loose, reckless play is what makes you money over the course of a 6-8 hour session. Tight play means you won't win as many pots as those playing loose. But, you will save a ton of chips by not chasing rainbows and the pots that you do win will be very healthy ones.
In my experience with live play at lower money levels, No Limit is dominated by players powered by testosterone. If you want to "prove" yourself, play No Limit. If you want to make money, play Limit. I have found the 2 cent/4 cent and 5 cent/10cent Limit tables online MUCH tougher to beat than the $2/$4 Limit tables at my local casino.
I've never played poker live, so that gives a really useful insight
Those two things can not compare. Internet poker is dynamic/faster, juiced, rigged and whatnot, and live games are slow, loose, not rigged. Last time I played live four hours, and got only two usable hands ... played only one of them (table was too loose, I had to fold AQs pre-flop), doubled up, and finished that poker night succesfully ... too bad nearest casino is 250 km from my town, if it were closer, I would never play online again
I love playing live, especially against a group of known opponents. It allows you to make so many more moves, just because you have history with your opponents.
Online is just sorta grinding. Its fun I suppose, just because you see a lot of hands, but I pretty much play everything standard, since your opponent is more often than not an unknown.
re: Poker & Online poker or live poker which do u think is a better game
Ranger I've played a lot of low limit poker and all it does is frustrate you. Early last summer I had a 3 week stretch of really good cards. During that time I played very tight and conservative. A couple weeks later when the cards dried up, I was still playing the same way. The key to low limit is other people not catching their draws, it has little to do with you. Patience does have a ton to do with it, but it wont matter how patient you are after you bet out with pocket kings and a person hits their gutshot on the river. If people arent hitting their draws, a tight style will usually pay off. When I'm playing low limit(very rarely nowadays), I try to intimidate the table by acting very angry all the time and subtley calling out those who chase draws. I hope this tactic will cause folds later on instead of calls. Play no limit, you gain experience and can make more money by being patient and hopefully getting just a few good cards.
And dont get me started on the people who find 2/4 limit to be the hardest game ever to figure out. At the tables I've been at, theres been people who are there over an hour who cant figure out, INCREMENTS OF 2 PREFLOP AND AFTER THE FLOP AND 4 AFTER THE TURN AND RIVER. These people look at the dealer like they're speaking Chinese after the turn they want to raise and only put out $6.
Well if this is the case we're pretty well off at the low limits. I'll put my money on people missing more draws than they make in the long term any day. Actually I already do .
Basically, single hands and sessions? Luck. Long-term results? Not luck. If you are betting on them missing their longshot draws, you are betting on the concept of regression to the mean. I'll put my money on math, hasn't failed me so far
I do a lot better when playing live, i have no idea why or how, i just do. Its probably because i am able to pick up tells from players but also because you get more people in casinos there for a good time who dont know how to play.
Also you can punch someone who makes a bad play in live
Quoted from UF_Gator2007 - "The key to low limit is other people not catching their draws, it has little to do with you. Patience does have a ton to do with it, but it wont matter how patient you are after you bet out with pocket kings and a person hits their gutshot on the river. If people arent hitting their draws, a tight style will usually pay off."
You are exactly right. But, I would disagree in one respect...it does have a lot to do with me...or anyone else playing at these low dollar, Limit Hold'em tables. As you noted, it is all about being the kind of tight, patient player that waits for good cards. Yes, the cards may dry-up for a period of time. Yes, Granny may hit her River gutshot, but I've also seen those same things happen at No Limit tables. The big difference, to me, is that I didn't loose a big chunk of my bankroll when it happens. And, as Zachvac pointed out, most of these draws won't hit, so, if I stay patient and don't tilt, I will win in the long run against those folks who play any two cards and can do it without risking my bankroll. Being patient and not tilting, however, is the HARD part!
It's not only draws these idiots chase, over Christmas break I was at the Hard Rock in Tampa. It was my last night in town so me and my friends went to the casino, I ended up playing $2/$4. Long story short, guy hit a miracle river gutshot that cost me half my stack. Lost half the remaining stack due to blinds/missing flops with decent cards. Got pocket kings, early position raise, flop has all low cards, raise again. Put my last $4 in blind before turn because thats all I can do. Turn is an ace, I hope my raising chased the weak aces away. But no, a kid called with A 8, unsuited and with no draws. He was chasing nothing except a 3 outer. Believe me I understand that in the long run it will pay off but its extremely frustrating seeing terrible players raking in pots off of miracle catches. I understand this happens in no limit too, but there(at least in live $1/$2 no limit where I play) you can almost always push them off by betting enough.
Live play has my vote. The whole casino atmosphere alone is enough for me, not to mention the ability to get real reads off of people. The loss of tells in online poker is a drag. On the flip side though there is something to be said about the convenience of online play.
re: Poker & Online poker or live poker which do u think is a better game
live play is more fun.
i also think live and online poker are two totally different things. it's like nba basketball compared to fiba basketball. pretty much the same rules but it looks and feels completely different and you need a different skill set to be successful in each of the two.
Live and online have different advantages/disadvantages in limit HE
Advantages Live
- Players are far looser on average than online
- You can pick up physical tells
- Generally more post-flop action
- More social/Entertaining
Disadvantages Live
- Tipping (an extra bonus rake on top of the already high live rake)
- Usually a higher rake or table fee than online
- Much slower hands per hour than online
- You have to usually drive somewhere to get there(!)
Went to the Taj and Showboat in A.C. this past weekend. Loved the experience and feel of live poker. Lots of money to be made at 1/2, of course I lost most of my bankroll though. It was my first time and I didn't realize that raises of 4-5x BB would keep at least 50% of the players in the hand. Took me all day to figure out how to play (it was my first time live) so I'm excited to go back with the right game plan (just need to keep winning the bar freerolls and build some bank back up).
The thing is this: a lot of people playing live are either doing so on vacation, don't play that often and just wanted to give it a try, have lots of money and like the rush of winning big pots no matter how many times they buy in, will call pretty much anything...blah blah blah blah...
People online seem to be there for a reason and purpose: to try and win at poker. This doesn't neccessarily mean that they have to be better players, but a far greater amount of players online haven't ended up at the tables just by a matter of circumstance.
After this weekend I might have to go out on what some would call a limb and say .05/.10 is harder and a more difficult game to beat than some 1/2 games at the live casino's. Anyone agree?
it all depends on where your at. i bought in a nl tourney for 100 bucks on this casino boat thing. well that day pretty big waves out there guy betting into me is throwing up in a bag and not to mention they totally overbooked the tourney. having 90 players on 7 tables....starting out i think we had 14 players at our table i mean 28 cards getting dealt out...thats ridiculous. worst live game ever. i would rather play in a 50 dollar freeroll where you had to buy your way in for 20 bucks online than play in that tourney again. i did pretty good tho.
re: Poker & Online poker or live poker which do u think is a better game
Likminutz: I agree. A 2 cent/4 cent or a 5 cent/10 cent game online is much tougher to beat than a $1/$2 No Limit, or my preference $2/$4 and $3/$6 Limit. If you think that the No Limit live games are lose, try the Limit Games!
I just returned from a 10 day crusie where they had a poker table on board. The nightly game was 2$/4$ Limit. and one evening they had NL tournies. I have played on line for a few years and played at a few Casinos. Actually going to Niagara Falls in 2 weeks to meet some Poker Buddies.
I prefer live Poker any day and I do better Live than on line
I have 20 hands worth of experience with casino poker, so I feel confident in telling you that live poker sucks balls.
Takes a long time to get there, you have to wait considerable time on a waiting list, the action is slow, and the room is smoke filled. The fact that live 3/6 play is comparable to online $.01/$.02 tables in general skill of the players doesn't make up for it.
/rant off.
They have just started cash tables but I haven't tried them yet, so I'm not sure about waiting times or skill level there, but there definitely won't be any smoking.
It's also an enjoyable social activity - unlike the online game.
Online is definitely a different game from Live for the reasons some mentioned above. But since Live varies quite a bit from City to City and State to State, it is quite right to to also ask is LA Live Poker the same as Atlantic City Live Poker...The truth is it is quite a bit different
I love both online and live poker
re: Poker & Online poker or live poker which do u think is a better game
I can see how it can be a social thing. I didn't mean to drag everyone else down with me in my bitterness over my shitty casino experience, heh.

An Epic Adventure through Political Intrigue.
Tommy had woken, refreshed, from a full nights sleep. He was excited a smile stretched across his small face from one end to the other. He rushed down stairs and pulled on Margaret's arm incessantly.
"Hey! Hey! Stop talking on the phone I have something t'say" Margaret apologized to the other line and turned to Tommy.
"Stop being so rude, I'm on the phone."
"But I had the Greatest dream EVER!" he moaned.
"Then write it down for me so you don't forget it."
He ran into the living room and grabbed a pencil and paper. He sat down at the coffee table and gently placed his tools together, the first line appearing from the tip of lead. Meant to make a letter. Destined to become a sentence. Born to become a tail of 'An Epic Adventure through Political Intrigue'.
Josh was asleep. He woke up. it was 9:00!!! OH NO! he was late for his companee!! He put his sherts and pants on fast and got down stares and kissed his wife goodby. He jumped in the car and put the pedle to the medle. he ran a red lite becus he had to get to his meating! But the cops saw him and ternd on their lites! He went faster to get away! He turned a corner and got away! He cud slow down now he didnt want to be chased AGAN. Wen he got to his companee the meating was gust starting so he greeted the bisnes mens and sat down and got his papers and his coffe.

(L to R) Foundry & Mr.Shiz
Intermat Exhibition's official newspaper – WPP, Foundry & Mr.Shiz on the cover
The last seven days have had Wet Paint Productions in Paris working at an international construction event that attracts more than 125,000 visitors from around the world. Our client, the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) who are the leading force in aerial access (cherry picker) safety, firstly trained the artists – Foundry and Mr.Shiz – to use the machines before asking us to paint two 7m x 4m canvases. Our brief was to make the machines look heroic and slowly progress the images over the course of the week. What could be more fun than painting in Paris in spring? Well, that was before we saw the weather forecast for the week. Huge respect to both Foundry and Shiz who were working 6 metres up and had to contend with fierce rain, hail and up to 19 mph winds. It was a tour de force of patience and a masterclass in can control. Competing for visitors' attention and pitched against global manufacturers with massive marketing budgets, Foundry and Mr. Shiz got the front cover of the official show magazine. Images of the completed work up soon!

Complaints about silos in healthcare are nothing new. For a patient to fill a single prescription, there are several disconnected groups that need to work together to move the process forward. The specialist and the primary doctor have to connect and share information, and the payer and provider need to be on the same page.
Unfortunately, for patients across the country, these stakeholders are moving at different speeds and in different directions, preventing true collaboration across organizations.
Typically, the proposed solution is to increase communication or integrate different departments. It's an issue that many have cited as something that is holding back efficiency in healthcare.
But it's not just frustrated patients that are the outcome of this system—people are actually dying. Take Hepatitis C as an example, which is a highly treatable disease.
Yet data from Trio Health shows that 17 percent of patients don't start their prescription and another five percent are still pending after 150 days.
A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that the number of deaths related to Hepatitis C in the US reached a record high in 2014, and that the disease now kills more Americans than any other infectious disease.
Healthcare is an inherently fragmented industry, whether between departments at a single hospital or between the broader patient stakeholders. Along a single patient's journey, dozens of departments, specialists and stakeholders will be involved from physicians and specialists to manufacturers and pharmacists.
Consider the impact of doctors as an example. Physicians caused a 16 percent decline in real-world performance of prescription drugs for Hepatitis C patients according to a recent study.
Physicians are not intentionally putting patients at risk, but what is happening is symptomatic of a larger issue in the healthcare world, where a lack of real-world data and an absence of knowledge sharing is hurting patients.
This siloed nature of healthcare prevents physicians, pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers and payers from accessing and interpreting important data sets, instead, encouraging each group to make decisions based upon a part of the information rather than the whole.
This results in short-term fixes that don't actually do anything to improve the sustainability of operations, or to resolve the root problem. For patients this is really bad news, as it results in delays in diagnosis and delays in access to treatments and appropriate care.

Sitting there, as you scrape the bottom of any barrel, are the lawyers.
We sit alongside the estate agents and the tabloid journalists as those with the jobs that people claim to hate. Most good and sensible people seem to be agreed that it is perfectly fine to dislike the legal profession. It is an utterly acceptable social prejudice.
Why is this so? In some ways, it is a strange hostility. Few lawyers work on their own account; the usual situation is that a lawyer is acting for someone else. The classic model is that the lawyer merely offers expertise in the law and advocacy which lay people do not have themselves. However, it is the lawyer who is deplored, and not their client. To be annoyed that a person or company has engaged "bloody lawyers" or that a situation "has gone legal" is perhaps to implicitly absolve those instructing the lawyers from any real blame.
This disdain goes beyond the lawyers of other people. Many people dislike their own lawyers and – quite genuinely – cannot see the point or the value in what they do. A letter costing £300, or a conveyance taking three weeks too many to complete, seems to be counter-intuitive. What is actually being paid for? And why are clients placed into situations where they feel compelled to pay significant amounts of money for what appears to be little concrete output?
But what makes this antipathy particularly odd is that it is often accompanied by sentimentality about the heroic and defiant lawyer. Whether it be Atticus Finch or Perry Mason there is a general sense that whilst lawyers in general in bad, particular lawyers "on the right side" can be very good. This positive sense is adopted even in personal life: when there is a certain type of crisis, the first thought of many people is to get the best lawyer they can (even if for various reasons such a lawyer is not available, or even in existence). And any practicing lawyer will tell you of the friends who diss the legal profession one moment and seek free legal advice the next.
So what can explain why lawyers are hated? One answer perhaps lies in the very nature of law.
The stuff of law consists of words and coercion. Lawyers, like wizards and witches with spells, believe that certain words when set out in formal and learned ways can have particular consequences. For lawyers these words are contained in contracts, statutes, writs, wills, questions and speeches in court, and so on. But unlike magical folk, the lawyers' words can and do lead to real-world effects: for example, the bailiff at your door, or the guard taking you to the cell. The job of the lawyer is deal with special forms of words, and the worldly implications that those words can have in any given situation.
This, of course, is generally lost on the client. The business person cannot see why there has to be a forty-page agreement. The defendant cannot see why their advocate cannot simply lie to the jury. The parent is being denied access to their child. All the client can see – or imagine – is a person saying unhelpful and unwelcome things, and then expecting to be paid for it.
That said, it is actually difficult to imagine someone becoming a lawyer just because of greed. For the same qualifications, there are more lucrative careers in business and finance. Those lawyers who do earn vast amounts – QCs and City lawyers – are exceptional and their "success" usually down to random good fortune: there are many better lawyers who never become "fat cats". Any rapacity is not a feature of lawyers as a whole, though it may be a quality of certain lawyers.
The reason why lawyers are generally disliked may not be down to their actual conduct or their personal qualities. It is instead because law is both powerful and – in the main – invisible. Law leaves traces in certain documents and speech acts, and it can manifest itself in the coercive actions of hard-faced individuals; but generally law is equally threatening and elusive.
It is not so much that lawyers are hated, but that law itself is feared and mysterious. That this is the case is unfortunate, and it is an entirely fair criticism that many lawyers do not do more to promote the public understanding of law. Of course, barriers to lay understanding can suit the interests of lawyers. Lawyers have no general interest in enabling potential clients to work out their own legal problems. And, so to that extent, lawyers only have themselves to blame.

Understanding Singapore Society
This book provides a compact collection of essays that convey a sense of what sociological studies of Singapore society are and have been about. There are a total of 28 articles, arranged into eight sections covering the main sub-fields in Sociology; an overview essay introducing the volume and discussing the foci and the raison d'tre for the selection of the essays; and a commentary for each section, highlighting the main themes and arguments in the component chapters.
Collectively, the essays in the volume paint a comprehensive portrait of the evolving Singapore society through an examination of (1) its fundamental social structure and the sources of social division in terms of class, ethnicity, gender and culture; (2) its basic social institutions - religion, politics, marriage and the family - and their interconnections; and (3) the policies relating to and consequences of its key social, economic and developmental processes - industrialization, urbanization and community development, and demographic changes.
This book is geared to a wide audience. For the general reader, it makes available a broad range of sociological writings which would contribute to public discourse on social and cultural issues in Singapore. For students or undergraduates, the collection offers local data and findings from which to understand Singapore society and learn Sociology through examples drawn from the Singapore context. Needless to say, the volume can also serve as a source-book to graduate students and researchers (especially those from other cultures) seeking to build up an understanding of the theoretical perspectives, hypotheses and new ideas generated in the Asian context in general, and Singapore in particular.

West region No. 1 seed UConn opened up an 18-point halftime lead and cruised to a 92-66 win over No. 9 seed Texas A&M in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia.
UConn used hot shooting and intimidating defense to race out to an 18-point lead, 27-9, at the 8:25 mark in the first half.
A.J. Price hit a three-point jumper at the 3:19 mark to give UConn its biggest lead of the first half , 24 points, 46-22.
The Aggies clawed some back to reduce the halftime margin to 18, 51-33.
In the first half, the Aggies shot just 34.2% (13 of 38) compared to UConn's 58.6 % (17 of 29) that included 4 of 7 (57.1%) from 3-point range.
The Aggies were called for 11 personal fouls in the first half and UConn hit 13 of 14 free throw attempts (93%).
The Aggies needed a rebounding edge to be competitive in this game, but UConn outrebounded the Aggies 17-16 in the first half.
Individually in the first half, Jeff Adrien connected on 7 of 8 field goals in scoring 15 points, while A.J. Price scored 13 points, including three 3-pointers.l
For the Aggies, Derrick Roland shot just 1 of 8 in the first half.
The Aggies did hold UConn center Hasheem Thabeet to just 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 blocked shot in the first half.
The Aggies cut the UConn lead to 14 points, 53-39, in the first two minutes of the second half, while tagging both Thatbeet and Adrien with their third personal fouls.
UConn continued to shoot almnost 60% and went on a 19-11 run to extend the lead back out to 22 points with 12:14 left in the game.
From this point UConn cruised to a 92-66 win over Texas A&M.
Texas A&M never quit fighting in this game, but with UConn shooting 58% for the game, sinking 21 free throws, and outrebounding A&M 36-24, the Aggies were bound to struggle to compete.
The Aggies accomplished one of their goals in this game, holding 7-3 center Hasheem Thabeet to 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 blocked shots.
But the defense of Thabeet threw off the Aggie offense and was key to Texas A&M shooting just 40%. The Aggies got little help from 3-point range, hitting just 3 of 15 attempts.
A.J. Price and Jeff Adrien provided the scoring punch for UConn, with Price scoring 27 points and Adrien adding 23 to lead the Huskies.
Bryan Davis and Donald Sloan each scored 12 points for the Aggies, and freshman David Loubeau came off the bench to score 11.
A successful Aggie season ends after becoming one of just three teams to have won a postseason game in each of the last five years.
This Aggie team showed amazing fight in coming back from 3-7 in the Big 12, to win 6 in a row to earn its fourth straight NCAA tourney invite, and to handily beat BYU in the first round of the tourney.
Texas A&M only loses one starter, Josh Carter, and will be one of the teams to watch next season.
Thanks men for a great season !

Meet Doug the Pug, whose Instagram account is a much-needed beacon of hope and humanity.
Renowned for his unfazed expression and pizza obsession, Doug's video spoofs and snaps have attracted quite the following — 5.1 million likes on Facebook and more than two million followers on Instagram. He's even chilled with Justin Bieber, Steven Tyler and Ed Sheeran.
Behind his rise is 24-year-old Leslie Mosier of Nashville, who has had Doug for four years. She gave up her marketing job at a local record label to be a graphic designer, but her plan changed when she posted a video of Doug on Facebook. When she woke up in the morning, it had amassed some 20 million views.
"When Doug reached 100,000 followers on Instagram, we threw a party. We got some pug balloons and after I strapped one around him, he started running around and people were laughing. I took a poor-quality video and put it up on Facebook and Instagram, and when we checked the next day, it had gone viral."

Since then, Leslie and her partner Rob, a touring drummer, have made videos of Doug dressed as Harry Potter and characters from Pokémon and Breaking Bad. The dog now has his own wardrobe and videos are shot in his own home studio, which includes a green screen and light backdrop. "It's a team effort," Rob says. "Leslie directs and I film but we both come up with the costumes and props."
There is no limit to Doug's fame. Whether it's London, Nashville or Toronto, fans approach him everywhere he goes. "We get recognised all the time," Leslie says. "I'll let Doug outside the house in the morning to pee and poop and there are people there wanting to meet him."
Being a celebrity dog has its perks, of course; his appearances at various restaurants earn him a sizeable chunk of revenue. But these activities take their toll — I notice that as Doug nestles in my lap for a selfie, he is gently nodding off due to a spot of jet lag. Leslie explains that she is cautious about tiring him out.
"Doug is always fine with public events. We've had meets and greets where we has met more than 1,000 people and not once did he show signs of being overwhelmed. But if he does start looking tired, I have no problem cutting it off.
"He's a very happy dog and we treat him like a prince. He's only in the costumes for five minutes and then he does what other dogs do."
Promoting his new book Doug the Pug: The King of Pop Culture, Leslie still cannot fathom quite how far she and Doug have come. "If you would have told me a year ago that I would be in London promoting Doug's book, I would have laughed," she says. An animated series documenting his adventures is in the pipeline, with a former Disney animator involved in the production. And next month, Doug's own range of toys will be released in different shapes and sizes.
If his remarkable rise proves anything, it is that in the age of the internet, anyone can be a success. For Doug, it's a pug's life.
Follow Joe on Twitter @joekrishnan
Doug the Pug: King of the Internet is published by Boxtree priced £9.99 and available now. Doug will be appearing at Waterstones Kensington High St at 11am tomorrow, Saturday October 15Reuse content

People Just Want Tomorrow To Be the Same as YesterdayMature
I remember when I was little, I always asked "Mummy, is it tomorrow yet?" and her answer was always the same. "No darling, it's not tomorrow yet." I never truly understood why, until I grew up. Tomorrow never comes, it's one of the great facts of life. Think about it. By the time tomorrow is here, it's today. The only time tomorrow would be here is if they changed a day of the week to tomorrow. Tomorrow will never come. It's all over the news, the end of the world is on our doorstep, or so they say. You can never really believe them, they said the same in 2005 and 2010, it's now 2012, and they're saying the world's going to end again.
My name's Doctor Alexandra Moore. I am a graduate from the University of Oxford and have a PhD in Psychology. For many years I have studied the behaviours of many people in the country. I don't waste my time with poppy-cock, instead of making them answer my questions, I answer them myself. You could say I am more the 'experimental-psychology' type. I teach psychology at the University of Canterbury, which is where I intended to be, but I got into Oxford. You could say it was sheer luck, or fate, depending on what you believe in. I'm married, my husband, George, who also has a PhD in psychology, is one of the greatest men around. In fact. That's how we met. Through university I mean. We have one son, Michael, he's 5. Such a bright kid, only not too tidy, we love him to pieces.
It's December 1st 2012, and nothing has happened yet, surely if the world was going to end some signs would start to show. They're digging a hole to the centre of the Earth just so they can see inside her shell. If anything, it's not meteors or the sun going out that will be the destruction of this world. It's human ignorance and curiosity. Compare the earth to a human brain, if someone manages to crack it, it's broken forever and no amount of work can fix it. That is what the earth is like, if you crack her surface just to see what's underneath you will never be able to put her back together.
Have you ever heard of the Monty Hall problem? It was on an American game show. 3 doors, 2 have completely useless items behind them such as goats and the other has something you want behind it. You picked one and the host opened one of the other ones. He then gave you the option to change the door you picked. Remember that? It was all a game of chance. That's how it is with the survival of the earth. Behind one door is the key to its survival, behind the other two is the key to its destruction. That leaves us with a 1:3 chance of saving the Earth.
It is 0600 hours, December 2nd 2012. I cannot sleep. I put the television on and grabbed my ice-cream out of the fridge. It's so darn cold these days. Scientists say it's because of all the greenhouse gases blocking the suns rays into the earth. I say bull. Think about it, greenhouse gases are destroying the o-zone layer so surely it should be getting warmer? Oh I don't care; I'm not going to argue with the so called "experts". Ahh the good old news channel. Showing us what idiots the population has become. They're digging into the earth. They built some form of dam so that the seas don't just spill straight into it. To be perfectly honest, they're going about it all wrong; too much pressure will cause the dams to break. Take my ice-cream for example. If I take wafers, stick them in then pile ice cream behind it, it stops the ice cream just flowing into the centre. BUT if I pressurize it a bit, place the wafer further back and then put the same amount of ice cream behind it, before you know it *SNAP* the ice creams back where it started. I bet some genius sat in an office decided all this, and didn't bother to take any information from the scientists into account.
We're becoming very American these days... Frozen yogurt? Sitcoms? Fast Food joints? All American. Heck, parliament even over-threw the queen and replaced her with a president. It's just not right, it's just not British. We aren't British anymore. It's now 0630. Still pretty early. I should try getting rest but I just can't get warm enough, I suppose Joseph will be round soon. Another hour and a half to *BANG BANG BANG* or not.
'Good morning Joseph.'
'Good morning? GOOD MORNING?! There is nothing good about this morning!'
'What news brings you here?'
'The dams have bust, the waters flooding in'
'You mean t-'
'Yes I mean it's all flooded into the centre of the earth.'
'That means…'
'That the centre of the earth has been put out by thousands of gallons of water yes.'
'Do you quite mind finishing off my sentences?'
'Well no actually considering you take too long to speak!'
'What is the rush, Joseph? We have all the time in the world.'
'All the time in the world? Have you not been listening to me? IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD.'
'Joseph, calm down, take a seat.'
'No I do not have time to be sitting down! I'll be on my way!'
As you can tell, Joseph over reacts, he hears news and blows it way out of proportion. He always has done. I've known him since I was about 15 so that would be going on about 8 years? As you've so rightly guessed by now, yes I am but 23 and he is 22. He is married with 2 children. Twins nonetheless. Rosie and Amy, both four, such adorable smart children, they get that off their father. There mother, Emily, is a mere 21, she didn't go to university, she had to stay at home and look after the twins. Joseph was your typical husband, goes to work, works his heart out, comes home, knocks back a couple of bourbons then passes out. Not like my George. George likes a nice glass of whiskey when he came home. Only one glass, and then we'd spend the evening talking. It was nice.
George is due home in a few hours. He was working on the dig to the centre of the Earth. I can't say I'm proud of that but it really wasn't his choice. Michael is tucked up in bed, I can hear him snoring, it's quite cute actually. The news is still on, apparently some people drowned when the dams collapsed, it's a shame. They're going to announce who's dead in a few minutes. The least I can do is remember them and send my condolences to their families. My George will be…
George Moore was amongst those who have been presumed dead when the dam broke early this morning. There is a search for the bodies of those who have disappeared.
Not George. Not MY George. Surely. It can't be.
'Alex open up!'
'Alex open this door!'
'Mommy, someone's at the door'
Michael was stood at the bottom of the stairs, he looked so sleepy. I just wanted to cuddle him, but I couldn't. Tears were streaming down my face.
'Michael go back to bed baby.'
'Mommy why's everyone shouting?'
'Michael go back to bed. Now.'
The door was off its hinges and on the living room floor. Michael stood in shock, the door laying at his feet. I ran over to him and picked him up in my arms, shielding his face from the light outside. A figure stood in front of me, a familiar figure, one of which I trusted.
It was James, my neighbour from three doors down, he'd heard the news and came to keep me company. I didn't need company right now, I needed to think, I needed to act. Anything but sit in the company of another human being pretending to know what I was going through. He was just going to use my psycho-babble on me and I hated that notion.
"Can you watch Michael for me?"
