Secret Honor (Honor Bound Series #3)by W. E. B. Griffin
In Wolf's Lair, a German general works toward the assassination of Adolf Hitler. In Buenos Aires, the general's son, code-named Galahad, falls under suspicion by the SS after a Nazi operation suddenly goes bad. In the middle of it all is OSS agent Cletus Frade, who knows the identity of father and son and what they will do... if they can survive that long. For not only are SS and Abwehr officers hot on their trails in both countries, but the OSS has branded Frade a rogue agent and is determined to shake the truth from him, at whatever cost. If Frade can't figure a way to hold them all off, then the futures of all three men may be very short indeed....

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Near Sidi Mansour, Tunisia
1530 7 April 1943
A solitary Afrika Korps staff cara small Mercedes convertible sedanmoved as quickly as it could across the desert. It had of course been painted in the Afrika Korps desert scheme: tan paint mimicked the color of the Tunisian desert, and crooked black lines on the hood and doors were intended to break up the form of the vehicle and make it harder to spot at a distance.
Nothing could be done, however, to keep the dust of the Tunisian desert road from boiling up beneath the wheels of the Mercedes and raising a cloud scores of feet into the air. If anyone was looking, the dust cloud formed an arrow pointing to the Mercedes.
And someone was lookingan American pilot in a P-51 Mustang.
The North American P51-C and -D aircraft used in the North African campaign were powered by a Packard version of the British Merlin engine. They had a top speed of 440 knots, and were armed with four .50-caliber Browning machine guns. Hardpoints in the wings permitted the use of droppable auxiliary fuel tanks and could also be used to carry 1,000-pound bombs.
Even at 500 feet and an indicated airspeed of 325 knots, it hadn't been hard for Captain Archer C. Dooley, Jr., U.S. Army Air Corps, to spot the boiling dust and then the Afrika Korps staff car that had caused it.
"Oh, shit!" Captain Archer Dooley, Jr., said sadly.
Finding a Kraut staff car running unprotected across the desert did not please him. Whenyoung Archie Dooley first signed up to fly fighter aircraft, he expected to become a "Knight of the Sky"flying mano a mano against other knights of the sky. He didn't expect to be killing people like cockroaches.
Fifteen months before, Archie Dooley had been the valedictorian of the 1942 class at St. Ignatius High School in Kansas City, Kansas. Six weeks before, he had been Second Lieutenant Dooley. He had come to Tunisia fresh from fighter school, looking forward to sweeping Nazi Messerschmitts from the skies with the four .50-caliber Brownings in the wings of his Mustang, much as Errol Flynn had swept the Dirty Hun from the skies over France in World War I in Dawn Patrol.
After which, with a little bit of luck, there would be a girl in the Officers' Club with an exciting French accent, long legs, long hair, and firm breasts, who would express her admiration for a Knight of the Sky in a carnal fashion.
It hadn't turned out that way.
For one thing, by the time Archie got to the squadron, the Allies had attained air superiority over the enemy. In other words, no German or Italian aircraft were left to be swept from the skies.
The day Archie reported in, the squadron commander had informed him that the 23rd Fighter Group had ordered the squadron to be engaged in ground support. That broke down into two missions: The first was to attack the enemy in front of American infantry and armor with either wing-mounted bombs or the .50-caliber Brownings. The second was reconnaissance and interdiction. This meant flying over enemy-held desert to see what you could see, and to interdict which meant to shoot up anything you found.
Second Lieutenant Archer Dooley, Jr.'s, first mission had been to fly wingman to the squadron commander on a two-plane reconnaissance and interdiction mission. At first, that had been sort of exciting ... even fun.
They had raced across the desert close to the ground at better than 300 knots, a maneuver flatly forbidden in flight school. Here it was perfectly acceptable.
Like drinking in the Officers' Club, even if you were a long way from being old enough to vote.
They had come across a railroad engine, puffing along tracks in the desert, dragging a line of boxcars. The squadron commander had signaled to Archie that they should engage the target. "Take the locomotive," he had ordered. "I'll get the boxcars."
Second Lieutenant Archer Dooley, Jr., had gotten the locomotive, enjoying the sight of his one-tracer-round-in-five stream of .50-caliber projectiles walking across the desert, andas he raised the Mustang's nose just a hairmoving into the locomotive's boiler.
As he flashed over the locomotive, the locomotive had blown up. His first kill. Then there was a ball of fire, from which rose a dense black cloud of smoke.
As Archie pulled up to make a second run at the train, he realized that the ball of fire was several hundred yards from the railroad tracks. What else had they hit, he wondered, even by mistake, that had exploded like that?
Then, as he lowered the Mustang's nose for his second run, taking care not to collide with the squadron commander's Mustang, he realized that the squadron commander's Mustang was no longer in sight.
And then he realized what the ball of fire really was.
At the time, it seemed probable that the squadron commander had been hit by ground fire. The squadron commander had told him that some of the trains were armed with antiaircraft machine guns and light cannon. mounted on flatcars. Because his attention had been fixed on the locomotive, Archie hadn't noticed anything on the cars behind it.
That night, at the Officers' Club (empty, as always, of femaleslong-legged, firm-breasted, or otherwise), he learned about the Group's promotion policies: Everybody got to be a first lieutenant after eighteen months of commissioned service, which meant he had about ten days before that happened.
There were two ways to get to be a captain. If you lived to serve twelve months as a first lieutenant, then promotion was automatic. But promotion came a lot quicker in another circumstance. The senior first lieutenant was the squadron executive officer (senior, that is, in terms of length of service in the squadron, not date of rank). If the squadron commander got either killed or seriously injured (defined as having to spend thirty days or more in the hospital), then the Exec took the Old Man's job and got the captain's railroad tracks that went with it.
Four weeks and six days after Archie reported to the squadron, the squadron first sergeant handed him a sheet of paper to sign:
He hadn't gotten to work his way up to executive officer. The young man who had become the Old Man and the Exec had both gone in on the same day, the Old Man when his Mustang ran into a Kraut antiaircraft position that had gotten lucky, and the Exec when he banked too steep, too low to the ground and put a wing into the desert.
That left Archie as the senior first lieutenant in the squadron.
The colonel had driven over from Group in a jeep, told him to cut orders assuming command, and handed him two sets of railroad tracks, still in cellophane envelopes from the quartermaster officer's sales store.
Archie had pinned one set of captain's railroad tracks over the embroidered gold second lieutenant's bars still sewn to the epaulets of his A-2 horsehide flight jacket, and put the other set in the drawer of the squadron commander's now his desk. If he ever had to go someplace, like Group, he would pin the extras on his Class A uniform then.
Being a captain and a squadron commander was not at all like what he'd imagined. A lot of really unpleasant shit went with being the Old Man. Like writing letters to the next of kin.
He hadn't actually had to compose these, thank God. There were letters in the file that some other Old Man had written, full of bullshit about how your son/husband/brother/nephew died instantly and courageously doing his duty, and how much he would be missed by his fellow officers and the enlisted men because he had been such a fine officer and had been an inspiration to all who had been privileged to know him.
Not the truth, not about how he'd tried to bail out but had been too close to the ground and his 'chute hadn't opened; not that he'd been seen trying and failing to get out of the cockpit through a sheet of flame blowing back from the engine; not about how he'd tried to land his shot-up airplane and blew it, and rolled over and over down the runway in a ball of flame and crushed aluminum. Or that they really didn't know what the fuck had happened to him, he just hadn't come back; and later some tank crew had found the wreckage of his Mustang with him still in the cockpit, the body so badly burned they couldn't tell if he had been killed in the air or died when his plane hit.
He didn't have to type the letters, either. The first sergeant just took one from the file and retyped it, changing the name. But Archie had to sign it, because he was now the Old Man and that's what was expected of him.
And he was always getting bullshit pep talks from some major or light colonel at Group that he was supposed to pass down the line.
Like what he remembered now, staring down at the Kraut staff car:
"Dooley, what interdiction means is that you and your people are supposed to engage whatever you come across, like one fucking Kraut with a rifle, one motorcycle messenger, not pass him by to go looking for a railroad locomotive, or something you think is important, or looks good when you blow it up. The motorcycle messenger is probably carrying an important message. Otherwise he wouldn't be out there. You take out a Kraut staff car, for example, you're liable to take out an important Kraut officer. Interdict means everything that's down there. You read me. Captain?"
"Yes, Sir."
"And pass the word to your people, and make sure they read you, and read you good."
"Yes, Sir."
And Archie had passed the word, and gotten dirty looks.
And now there was a Mercedes staff car down there, and it wasn't like being in a dogfight, it was like running over a dog with your car; but you had to do it because you had told your people they had to do it, and Archie believed that an officer should not order anybody to do what he wouldn't do himself.
Archie banked his Mustang steep to the right, lined up on the cloud of dust boiling out under the wheels of the Mercedes, and when he thought he had him, closed his finger on the trigger on the joystick. When he saw his tracer stream converge on the Mercedes and he didn't have to correct, he thought he was getting pretty good at this shit.
The Mercedes ran off the road, turned over, and burst into flames. Maybe a couple of bodies had flown out of the Mercedes, but Archie couldn't be sure, and he didn't go back for a second look, because if he did and saw somebody running, he wasn't going to try to get him.
He leveled off at about 500 feet and started looking for something else to interdict.
And at 2105 hours that night, at Afrika Korps General Hospital #3, near Carthage, Tunisia, the chief surgeon and hospital commander, Oberst-Arzt (Colonel-Doctor) Horst Friederich von und zu Mittlingen, pushed his way through the tent flap of the tent euphemistically called "Operating Theater Three" and reached beneath his bloodstained surgical apron for a package of cigarettes.
The hospital's name implied something far more substantial than the reality. General Hospital #3 (which served the Tenth Panzer Division) was a sprawling collection of tents and crude sheds, most of them marked with red crosses to protect against bombing or strafing. The tents served as operating theaters, the sheds as wards. Both were covered with the dust raised by the trucks and ambulances and sometimes horse-drawn wagons bringing in the wounded and dying.
Von und zu Mittlingen was a fifty-two-year-old Hessian trained at Marburg and Tübingen. Before the war, he had been professor of orthopedic surgery at St. Louise's Hospital in Munich.
The cigarettes were Chesterfields. One of the nurses, who didn't smoke but knew the Herr Oberst-Artz did, had taken them from the body of an American pilot who had survived the crash of his fighter plane but had died en route to Afrika Korps General Hospital #3. The lighter, too, was American, a Zippo, found on the floor of one of the surgical tents. There had been no telling how long it had been there, or to whom it had belonged, so he kept it.
He lit a Chesterfield, inhaled deeply, and felt with his hand behind him for one of the vertical poles holding up the corner of the tent. When he found it, he leaned against it, then exhaled, examining the glow of the cigarette as he did.
His hands were shaking. He willed them to be still.
It had been time to take a break, to leave the operating theater and step outside into the welcome cold of the night. And to light up a cigarette. And get a cup of coffee, if he could find one.
Though patients were still awaiting his attention, he had learned that he could push himself only so far. After so many hours at the table, his eyes did not see well, his fingers lost their skill, and his judgment was clouded by fatigue.
What he desperately wanted was a drink. But that would have to wait until later, much later, until there were no more wounded requiring his services. He would probably have to wait until the early morning for that. Then he would take several deep pulls from the neck of his bottle of brandy before falling into bed.
He took two more puffs on the Chesterfield, exhaled, and pushed himself away from the tent pole.
I will go to the mess and see if there is coffee. I will do nothing for the next ten minutes except smoke my cigarette and drink my coffee and take a piss.
His route took him past three tents on the perimeter of the hospital area. A medical team a physician, a nurse, and stretcher bearers stood outside the three tents as the ambulances and trucks brought the wounded to the hospital.
The physician categorized each incoming patient: Those who would most likely die if they did not go under the knife immediately, he ordered to be carried into the first tent, where a team of nurses would prepare them for surgery. As soon as a table was free, they underwent the knife. Those who had a reasonable chance of survival, but could wait a bit for surgery, were given morphine and moved into the second tent. As soon as the really critical patients had received attention, their turn in an operating theater would come. Those who stood little chance of survival were moved into the third tent and given morphine. When everyone in Tent A and Tent B had received treatment, an attempt would be made to save those in Tent C.
Oberst-Artz von und zu Mittlingen violated his own rule about never going into Tent C. The sight of dead men, and men in the lasttoo often agonized moments of their lives, upset him. He knew it was better to be calm and emotionless when he was at the table.
There were six men on stretchers in Tent C.
The first two were dead. One looked asleep. The second's face was frozen with his last agony.
Von und zu Mittlingen covered their faces with blankets and went to the last man on that side of the tent.
He was surprised that he was still alive.
His entire head was wrapped in blood-soaked bandages. That implied, at the least, serious trauma to his eyes and probably to his brain. Both of his hands were similarly bandaged, suggesting to von und zu Mittlingen that he would probably lose the use of both hands, and might actually lose the hands themselves.
Another heavily blood-soaked bandage was on his upper right leg, and his torso was also bandaged; but the amount of blood on these last suggested to von und zu Mittlingen that the wounds on his torso were not as serious as the others, though internal bleeding of vital organs was of course possible.
It would probably be better if the poor bastard died; the alternative is living as a blind cripple.
He noticed that the patient was wearing U.S. Army trousers but an Afrika Korps tunic. That quickly identified him as an officer, someone in a position to ignore the rules forbidding the wearing of any part of the enemy's uniform.
Von und zu Mittlingen reached for the patient's ID tag.
"Who's that?" the patient asked, sensing the hand on the tag.
"I'm a doctor?
The tag identified the patient as Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel) von Stauffenberg.
Oh, my God! This mutilated body is Claus!
"You've got yourself in a mess, haven't you, Claus?" von und zu Mittlingen said.
"Who's that?"
"Horst Mittlingen, Claus," Horst Friederich von und zu Mittlingen said. "We're going to take care of you now."
"One of their Mustangs got me," Oberstleutnant Graf(Count) Claus von Stauffenberg said.
"Claus, what did they give you for the pain?"
"I decided I would rather be awake."
Oberst-Artz Horst Friederich von und zu Mittlingen stood up and walked to the flap of the tent and bellowed for stretcher bearers, then returned to the bloody body on the stretcher. "We'll take care of you now, Claus" he said. "You'll be all right."
"Really?" von Stauffenberg asked mockingly.
"Yes, really," von und zu Mittlingen said. "I am about to violate my own rule about never working on my friends."
Two stretcher bearers appeared.
"Put this officer on the next available table," von und zu Mittlingen ordered. "Tell Sister Wagner I will want her beside me."
"Jawohl, Herr Oberst."
"If I could see, I would say I'm glad to see you, Horst," von Stauffenberg said.
On 12 April, the Germans announced the discovery of mass graves in Poland's Katyn Forest. The graves contained the bodies of 4,100 Polish officers and officer cadets who had been captured by the Soviet army. They had been shot in the back of the head with small-caliber pistols. A week later, after refusing Polish Government in Exile demands for an investigation by the International Red Cross, the Soviet government said the whole thing was German propaganda.
On 17 April, in its largest operation to date, the 8th U.S. Air Force attacked aircraft factories in Bremen with 117 B-17 bombers, sixteen of which were shot down.
The Office of the Reichsführer-SS
1545 17 April 1943
The interoffice communications device on the ornately carved desk of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler buzzed discreetly.
Though he was wearing his customary ornate black uniform, the forty-three-year-old Reichsführer's round spectacles and slight build gave him the look of a low-ranking clerk. It would have been a mistake to act on that assumption.
Without taking his eyes from the teletypewriter printout he was reading, Himmler reached for the box and depressed the lever that allowed his secretary, Frau Gertrud Hassler, to communicate. The Reichsführer-SS had had the device rigged in that manner. He was a busy man, and could not afford an interruption every time his secretary had something to say. If he was busy, he simply ignored the buzzing and she would try again later.
"Herr Reichsführer," Frau Gertrud Hassler announced. "Herr Korvettenkapitän Boltitz, from Minister yon Ribbentrop's office, is here." Korvettenkapitän was the German Navy rank equivalent to major.
The Reichsführer-SS was not busy, but that did not mean he was prepared to be interrupted by the woman every time a messenger arrived in the outer office.
"And?" the Reichsführer-SS said impatiently.
"He insists that you personally sign for the message, Herr Reichsführer-SS."
"Mein Gott! Well, show him in, please, Frau Hassler."
Himmler rose from his desk and walked toward the double doors to his office. A moment later, one of them opened; and a tall, blond young man in civilian clothing stepped inside. In his hand was a briefcase. He raised his arm straight out from the shoulder. "Heil Hitler!" he barked.
Himmler raised his right arm at the elbow. "Korvettenkapitän Boltitz, how nice to see you," Himmler said.
"Herr Reichsführer," Boltitz said. "I regret the intrusion on your valuable time, Herr Reichsführer, but I was directed to give this to you personally."
Himmler knew that Boltitz's assignment to the office of Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop meant that he was really Admiral Wilhelm Canaris's man read spy in the Foreign Ministry. Canaris was Director of Abwehr Intelligence. Neither he nor von Ribbentrop was really a member of Adolf Hitler's inner circle, and Himmler wasn't entirely sure either of them could be completely trusted. "I understand," Himmler said, and put out his hand for the message.
Boltitz opened the briefcase and took from it a clipboard, whose clip held an envelope. He removed the envelope, and then handed Himmler the clipboard and a pen. Himmler scrawled his name, acknowledging receipt of the message, and the young man then handed him the envelope.
"Thank you, Herr Reichsführer."
"Are you to wait for a reply?" Himmler asked.
"No, sir, but I am at your disposal if you wish to reply."
"Just a moment, please," Himmler said, then tore open the envelope and read the message.

Having read almost all of Griffins series, the Honor series is closest to The Corps... Please bring back Cletus and Peter again and again...
A great sequel to 'Blood and Honor', this is a book you won't want to put down even though it may be 4 A.M. Griffin puts you in the middle of the intrigue, action, and suspense. I'm anxiously awaiting the next in this series.
I have read every one of Mr.Griffin's novels and enjoyed them a great deal. But this last series seems to be getting less and less like all his other work. I wish he would concentrate on his other series like The Corps or The Badge Of Honor Or Men At War groups
William E. Butterworth is a most enjoyable author, whatever his nom-de-novel may be. This is yet another typical Griffin novel. The continued use and overuse of complete names and titles amounts to overkill and is a writer's method of filling a page with really saying too much. Do away with this problem and also do away with the overuse of dispatches and letters that eat up space and this 497 page novel is reduced to 300 pages. At 497 pages, or even at 300 pages, Butterworth is a superb storyteller and I will continue to read and enjoy his books
I have been a rabid fan of Mr. Griffin's prior series', having read all of his books twice. I find the 'Men at War' books have far less interest for me. His descriptions of characters have always been vivid but those from other countries have little appeal for me. I hope for the resumption of the 'Badge of Honor' and 'The Corps series'.
Compared to all of W. E. B. Griffin¿s published novels, I found his most recent effort, disappointing. Too much of Secret Honor, is concerned with the events surrounding the wedding of Clete Frade and Dorotea Mallin and the inconclusive efforts of the German government to identify the traitor responsible for the assassination of two senior SS officers which was described in the previous book. Secret Honor seems to be a transition between the author¿s last book set in Argentina, Blood and Honor, and his next intended volume in the Honor Bound series. We are introduced to a series of important historical figures including Count Claus von Stauffenberg, Evita Duarta and General Adolf Galland, each of whom one hopes will figure prominently in the author¿s intended sequel. We also are familiarized with one of Germany¿s most important secret weapons of World War II, the ME-262 jet fighter aircraft. Except for target practice, only one shot is fired in this book by or at any of the main characters. But many important events occurred the period covered, April through June 1943, including: the fall of North Africa to the Americans and English, Allied preparations to invade Sicily, the first Warsaw Ghetto uprising, the siege of Leningrad, preparations leading to the Battle at Kursk (the largest tank conflict in history), the introduction of escort carriers and advanced radar in the battle against U-boats in the Atlantic, and MacArthur¿s attack up coast of New Guinea. I hope that W.E.B. Griffin¿s next effort is more exciting.
Great book and story. Problem was that the transcription from hard copy to electronic is pathetic. Don't know who does the transcribing of the e-books but I believe B & N needs to find someone else.

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Let's turn to an update on the World Cup, which was widely seen as a big success. It was a financial blockbuster for FIFA, the organization that governs world soccer. FIFA took in more than $3 billion, and it's pledged part of that money to develop soccer in Africa under a plan called 20 Centres for 2010. Anders Kelto reports from South Africa.
ANDERS KELTO: On the eastern edge of Cape Town is Khayelitsha, one of the largest and most dangerous townships in South Africa. The roads hum with the sound of minibuses and street vendors, and a group of men walk along the sidewalk, chanting a traditional Xhosa song.
Unidentified group: (Singing in foreign language)
KELTO: As part of its pledge to create a positive legacy for the World Cup, FIFA has committed 20 Football for Hope Centres around Africa. Each must include a soccer field, an educational space, and a health care facility. The first center was completed here in Khayelitsha last year.
(Soundbite of chanting)
KELTO: Today, a group of girls are playing soccer and learning about the dangers of HIV and AIDS through a program run by Grassroot Soccer. The bright green field and the girls' multicolored uniforms contrast sharply with the backdrop of brown gravel and wooden shanties.
Lunga Sidzumo is a community project coordinator at the center. He grew up here in Khayelitsha and he says the facility is making a huge difference in the community.
Mr. LUNGA SIDZUMO (Community Project Coordinator, Football for Hope Center): For the kids, it's a blessing for them. But if ever we don't have any event, they will be coming and nagging us, pushing us and arguing that, why there's nothing happening in the center, just because we are used to come to play in the Football for Hope Center?
KELTO: Lungsi Jere is a local coach and she also believes the facility is having a positive effect.
Ms. LUNGSI JERE (Soccer Coach): It's really changed so many kids' lives. Most especially, there are kids who are - who've chosen to play sport at the early age, because I think it just take them from negative things out there.
KELTO: FIFA has heavily advertised its 20 Centres for 2010 campaign, but they haven't advertised the fact that just four facilities, like the one in Khayelitsha, have actually been built, and only four more are under construction.
FIFA's head of corporate social responsibility, Federico Addiechi, says from Johannesburg that they have encountered some challenges, but he insists that the project is on time.
Mr. FEDERICO ADDIECHI (Head, Corporate Social Responsibility, FIFA): The goal for these 20 centers to be built was end of 2012. And we are probably three, four months behind schedule, but we are doing well in terms of the setup of the team.
KELTO: And while the 20 centers project has received a lot of attention, FIFA hasnt allocated as much money to the project as many might believe. The total cost of the centers will be around $10 million, which is roughly one-third of 1 percent of their revenues from the 2010 World Cup. And FIFA isn't running these facilities, they're just building them.
Kirk Friedrich, the managing director of Grassroot Soccer, says finding groups to administer the centers hasn't been easy.
Mr. KIRK FRIEDRICH (Managing Director, Grassroot Soccer): There aren't many organizations out there that are using football as a tool for social development and also have experience running youth centers. And it takes a bit of experience. It takes a bit of practice to know how to do it correctly. So it's not easy.
KELTO: But despite these setbacks, Addiechi claims that FIFA are trendsetters in the effort to use soccer as a tool for social development.
Mr. ADDIECHI: We are the first international sports federation to have established, back in 2005, a dedicated unit for social responsibility. You will not find this in the sports world.
KELTO: Back in Khayelitsha, a group of children gather around the field, waiting their turn to play. Kanya Moussa is a 6-year-old who lives up the street.
Do you ever come here and play soccer?
Mr. KANYA MOUSSA: Every day. We learn about good things. We learn about HIV and AIDS.
KELTO: Twelve-year-old Xiphisa Monsa says she loves Bafana Bafana, the South African men's soccer team.
Ms. XIPHISA MONSA: Well, my favorite is Tshabalala - Siphiwe Tshabalala from Bafana Bafana. Well, I like the way he plays, his styles, yeah.
KELTO: For many of these kids, soccer is providing a pathway to education and a healthier life. Having seen the World Cup in their own backyard, it's also providing them with big dreams.

ive been playing funsteps exclusively on carbon as im trying to build a bankroll from scratch, but step 3 has eluded me so many times. today its been because i played step 3 over aggresively. does anyone have any tips on getting that elusive dollar?
Been there...done that.... I sympathise with you.... just keep grinding.. It gets easier and easier...Took me months to win my first one, (but I was just starting out learning how to play then..) but now I win them all the time. I just wish I would leave the buck alone and go back to funsteps, but no... I always try either the fast fifty sng or the dollar dazzler... sometimes I take first and then I try one of the 2 or 3 dollar mtts... so far I have made it up to 17.00 at one point..but thats gone now..... any ways, I'm wishing you all the luck in the world and will see you at the tables!
yeah it only took me a couple weeks to win the dollar, but i'm with you... next time i get it im going back to the funsteps to keep grindng for a few more. i could handle the swings more if i had $4 going to the penny limit tables. but i hate the limit games on carbon as they aren't true limit games, since the betting isn't capped
I'm seriously considering going into cash games... I love the mtts but am beggining to realize that the only way to build my roll playing mtts is by playing the higher stake games and I just don't have the cash for that right now. There are just too many donks in the micro games who will play any two cards all the way to the river and laugh at you when they take a chunk at your chips. ( They think they bluffed you when you folded after they raised at the flop when in reality, it flopped 22 and your holding Ak and your under the gun while they are on the button..or something like that..) Its just to frustrating. Actually, I'd rather be bluffed! Sorry if I derailed this thread....is was purely by accident, I assure you...lol
Nice well done. I keep getting killed in that damn fs3 game. I did almost place in the freeroll this morning but I had a short stack and limped in with TT. I had high pair after the flop. Shoved all in,,, BB turns over AA. Knocked out in 56 place. DAMN IT. But there is always next time.
Once again congrats on cracking the FS3 keep up the good work. And keep us informed you have given me inspiration.
Yeah man! I have the dollar twice now in less than a week. You can do it. Just play smart poker in the 3rd step, because the players that are there are not bad. I turned that dollar into 3.57 last night playing penny limit poker, and am going to continue to grind it out some more today. I'll keep you all updated
lost a bit of that 3.57 last night but still over 2 dollars. i tilted. that much is for sure. had pocket aces cracked twice in ten minuted against smaller pairs. once vs 6's, and the flop was 5 5 6. and once vs 9's and a nine on the flop. the poker gods were angry with me for something i guess. so i moved tables figuring that virtual dealer must have it out for me. next table was going well. then a player sat down to my right who literally pfr with EVERY hand 100 times in a row! at first this was good as i was raking it in off of him, but then i lost my patience and started bleeding to him. bankroll went down to 2.18 before i quit but today is anew day, and hopefully the cold streak is over. i really dont want to funstep anymore. so please please please poker gods... give me a good day
been running kind of cold the last two days, but the BR is still over $3 at 3.67. tomorrow is anew day and im going back to my tight image. did hit a flush tonight with 7c 8c and a straight with 5h 6h. but too many bad players that chase with nothing hurts on the .02/.04 limit tables. I'm going to start a new thread in the cash game section tomorrow and will start posting some hand analysis so i can work on grinding out more money on these crap tables more efficiently. Good night, and see you at my new thread i hope. ProphetEyes grinding a BR from scratch is what it will be called in the cash games section. Peace... and poker gods i pray to you to start being kind again... and to give me the patience and serenity to play well. im sober these days, (especially after lastnights drunken attempt to play... BAD IDEA) so i know i have a clear mind without Mary Jane clouding my decisions, but a hit here or there would sure be relaxing... oh well... a few more months before i partake in that again.
If you look in the sng area you will see it. It is a 1.10 buy in and you can win entry into snakes and ladder lvl 2 for 3.30 and so one and so forth until you reach lvl 7. winner gets 2k. But the buy in is 510 + 20. Like i said seem like a long way to the money. But for 1.10 get a chance a 2k.
I still have 40 cents might playing the 11 cent buy in later if I am still playing. But till then,, Every day I steeping.
Derail on funsteps......
What do you think the implications of paying 50c 30c 20 to 1st 2nd 3rd in step 3 would be for carbon poker?
More people would cash, more people would get a roll together, more people would pay rake if they succeed.
Perhaps it would become attractive to people who can play better. Only paying 1st out of ten makes it more luck oriented and perhaps keeps better players away?
re: Poker & Carbon Poker Funstep 3
Just my 2 cents,
8.54 now! yeah yeah yeah! been playing penny limit hold em heads up and have been absolutely crushing the weak players that frequent these tables. going to keep up with it and then start playing 2.20 sng games as i do well at funsteps so why not the same structure? should be working out well for me. see you at the tables dooley.

Exploring compact Cape Town on "Shanks's Pony!"
Compact Cape Town is a great city to walk around, either in the CBD or around its busy restored V&A Waterfront!
Some of our group even enjoyed a two hour picturesque coastline walk from our house in Camps Bay to the Waterfront!
One walking highlight was the enjoyable and informative Free Walking Tour around the CBD.

Then we ended our day at Robben Island. We did the Robben Island Tour. Trip was on boat with 8 miles there and 8 miles back. Trip took over an hour each way. Ocean was very choppy and we felt very uncomfortable. Views were pretty though and the guide seemed knowledgable. ...

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 11, 1983, New Braunfels, Texas Religious focus Hsrald'Zeitung Friday, March 11,1983 5Ministerial alliance Church bridges gap to God By PASTOR RAYMOND W. BIZER Faith United Church of Christ "Gap" is a little word which seems to be very descriptive of much in society today. And yet it is not new for throughout history there have been numerous kinds of "gaps" over which bridges could be built and were built. But the condition persists. We continue to experience "generation gaps," "credibility gaps," "political gaps," "cultural gaps," "racial gaps," gaps in performance, in marital relationships, in the economy and the list goes on. The role of a mediator in the midst of those gaps in society has become an important role. It is the role of promoting and supporting communication. The federal mediator has become an important person in that communication and negotiating effort between labor and management, between athletes and team owners, between contending parties in lawsuits. Attorneys and judges have had important roles to play with regard to numerous kinds of relationships where estrangement, separation and differences have arisen, all the way from estrangement in marital relationships to the efforts of corporations to buy each other or merge. The Church also has had a role in being bridge builders in society and we have come to know the significant role of a ministry of reconciliation, bridging the spans that separate peoples, nations, races and various conditions of humanity. That reconciliation ministry is a high vocation in society today, a society in need of reconciliation where estrangement may be descriptive of society. To reconcile is to bring into harmony two opposing parties or points of view. Its intention is to close the gaps that exist. That reconciling ministry is brought into being and is an outgrowth of the concern that God has that all people first be reconciled to Him. We are midway in the period of the church year which many Christian congregations observe as Lent. It is a time when Christians renew their understanding of their relationship to God through Jesus Christ and an understanding of that reconciling ministry. There is a difference between unity and harmony. I suspect that the true meaning of that reconciling ministry might be suggested to be that of bringing harmony. We used to think of our country as a melting pot, where everyone was brought together in unity. In more recent years the uniqueness of individuals, groups, the strengths and diversity within individuals and groups has given the opportunity to be blended into a harmonious whole. St. Paul, in his many communications to Christians gathered in many communities in the near east, has lifted up the importance of first being reconciled to God through the Jesus Christ, and then being entrusted with a ministry of reconciliation in society. St. John's plans Refreshment service St. Johns Episcopal Church is celebrating Refreshment Sunday this weekend. Refreshment Sunday is traditionally the middle Sunday of I^ent. There will be the usual 8 and 9 a.in. Eucharist services plus a special musical celebration of the Eucharist at ll a rn. Special music will be provided by members of the San Antonio Com munity Choir led by Winston Thompson, a registered nurse at McKenna Memorial Hospital. Choir members are drawn from members of San Antonio Baptist churches — Palestine, New Light, St. Mark's and Calvary. Members of St. John s will host a reception in honor of the choir at the church at 312 S. Guenther following the service. Briefly Harmony Baptist Church is located on Highway 46 Staff phuto by Citirfv ftithatdsut' Concert scheduled at New Life Church Sylvia Scott of Gillette, Wym . will be in concert Sunday at New Ijfe Assembly of God, 552 Highway Bl West Pastor Hilmar Flugrath invites all interested persons to the concert which begins at ll a rn Scott wrote and produced her own television show, "I Will Sing Unto the Uird." which was aired in Gillette for more than two years and was also syndicated out of Chicago, III.

Scott has traveled across the country presenting gospel concerts Religious leaders pledge support for negotiations NEW YORK I AP) — Twenty-five Protestant and Roman Catholic leaders have cabled a message to the new Archbishop of San Salvador, Rivera y llamas, pledging support to his advocacy of negotiations among warring factions in that country. Such dialogue is "an essential step toward solution of the armed conflict there," they said. "However, the alternative U.S. proposal to intensify attempts to impose a military solution is, to our mind, irresponsible and inhumane " Signers include United Methodist Bishop James Armstrong, president of the National Council of Churches, made up of most Protestant and Orthodox bodies, the heads of many of them, and heads of seven Roman Catholic orders. Survey shows prayer similarity By GEORGEW CORNELL AP religion writer j; ii i! ■ii imrru SCSC !X 3E JC SC IC CTC ISS 5S JC Southern Baptists note membership increase NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Southern Baptist membership rose to about 14 million last year, a 1.5 percent increase, the denomination reports. Contributions to congregations rose to $3.1 billion, a 12 percent increase Sunday school enrollment rose to about 7.7 million, the highest on record. rn ii <> ii —ut lima JESSOE Whether they are Protestant or Roman Catholic, whether their church services are simple or elaborate, Christians generally are in harmony when it comes to personal prayer. They do a lot of it and largely in similar ways, times and attitudes. These are among details brought out in an unusual cross-denominational survey of readers of IO mainline denominational magazines, probing specifics about how they pray, when, where and what for. Previous national studies have indicated that an overwhelming proportion of Americans, 89 percent easacsrscsr- alane is=£ ara: . of them, pray at times, even if not church members, making prayer by far the most prevelant of all religious activities. For church members, it's even more so, about as much a part of everyday life as eating or sleeping, the new study indicates. All of them, IOO percent of the 1,491 respondents, do it, 92 percent daily, most of them several times daily. The ordinarily private motives, manners and expectations brought to this most widespread religious process are pointed up in the study, which indicates close similarities about it among the mainline church people involved. Whatever small variations showed up in prayer habits, these generally don't reflect denominational patterns, but rather personal preferences. -210- ZZ Worship at the church of your choice Local First Baptist Church 733 Cross St Sunday school 9 30 am mommy worship 10 45 a rn evening worship 7 pm Wednesday prayer service 7 15 p rn First Protestant United Church of Christ.

WASHINGTON U.S. securities regulators suspected as early as 1997 that alleged swindler Allen Stanford was running a Ponzi scheme, but did nothing to stop it until late 2005, a government watchdog found.
Even then, it was not until February of 2009 that the Securities and Exchange Commission filed civil charges accusing Stanford and three of his companies with selling billions of dollars of fraudulent certificates of deposit (CDs).
SEC Inspector General David Kotz said on Friday that the Fort Worth, Texas office of the SEC conducted examinations of Stanford in 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2004, "concluding in each case that Stanford's CDs were likely a Ponzi scheme or a similar fraudulent scheme."
"The only significant difference in the Examination group's findings over the years was that the potential fraud grew exponentially from $250 million to $1.5 billion," Kotz found.
In 2005, the enforcement arm of the SEC finally agreed to seek a formal order from the commission to investigate Stanford. But even so, Kotz said, an opportunity was missed to bring action against Stanford Group Co for its admitted failure to conduct due diligence on Stanford's investment portfolio.
The report is another black eye for the agency from Kotz, who last year reported that the SEC bungled five probes of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme that investigators have estimated at $65 billion. Madoff pleaded guilty and is serving a 150-year prison sentence.
A Ponzi scheme is one in which early investors are paid with the money from new clients.
SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro, who took office in January of 2009, has tried to reinvigorate the agency's enforcement division.
Earlier on Friday, the SEC sued Goldman Sachs Group Inc for fraud in marketing a debt product tied to subprime mortgages.
Stanford is in a Texas jail awaiting trial on 21 criminal charges related to what is now alleged to have been a $7 billion scheme involving the issuance of CDs with improbably high interest rates by his Antiguan bank.
Responding to Kotz's report, Schapiro said on Friday that since 2005, "much has changed and continues to change regarding the agency's leadership, its internal procedures and its culture of collaboration."
"The report makes seven recommendations, most of which have been implemented since 2005," she said. "We will carefully analyze the report and implement any additional reforms as necessary for effective investor protection."
Kotz's investigation was triggered by former investors who blamed the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a broker-dealer regulator, for not stopping the Texas financier sooner.
Even after SEC examiners identified multiple violations of securities laws by Stanford in 2002, the SEC's enforcement division did not open an investigation, Kotz said.
He said that senior officials in the Fort Worth office perceived they were being judged by the number of cases they brought, conveying to the enforcement staff "that novel or complex cases were disfavored. As a result, cases like Stanford, which were not considered 'quick-hit' or 'slam-dunk' cases, were not encouraged," Kotz concluded.
Kotz also found that the former head of enforcement in Fort Worth, Spencer Barasch, "played a significant role" in quashing investigations of Stanford and sought to represent him on three occasions after he left the SEC. In 2006, he did briefly represent Stanford before being informed by the SEC ethics office that it was improper to do so.
When asked why he was so insistent on representing Stanford, Barasch replied, "Every lawyer in Texas and beyond is going to get rich over this case. Okay? And I hated being on the sidelines," according to Kotz's report.
Barasch could not be reached for comment. But Bob Jewell, managing partner of the law firm he now works for, Andrews Kurth in Houston, said Kotz's report was "disappointing."
"Spencer Barasch served the SEC with honor, integrity and distinction," Jewell said. "... We believe he acted properly during his contacts with the Stanford Financial Group and the Securities and Exchange Commission. He did not violate conflicts of interest."

Treatment Philosophy
As Head of Liver Surgery at Fox Chase Cancer Center, I oversee the Liver Tumor Services. I have extensive experience in the surgical treatment involving cancer of the liver, bile ducts and pancreas. I have performed more than 300 liver resections. I am particularly interested in tumors that are not considered resectable by traditional criteria. I work closely with extremely talented members of the Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology teams, providing the best of multidisciplinary treatments. At Fox Chase, we have multiple tumor boards where experts in different specialties meet weekly to discuss complex patients. We participate in innovative clinical trials offering our patients traditional and out of box therapy options.
The diagnosis of cancer and the multiple treatment options existing in our current armamentarium can be confusing and exhausting to the already anxious patient. I take time to explain step by step all available treatment modalities and help the patient choose the best treatment plan that fits the patient's particular needs. For patients in whom surgery is the best option, I pay attention to explain the procedure in a manner understandable to the non-expert. I firmly believe that the inability to explain your expertise to anyone means lack of it. Furthermore, I make myself easily available for questions and all my patients have my cell phone.
Modern technology offers treatment options for cancer patients that were unimaginable only few years ago. However, I believe in the correct use of medical innovations towards the patient's benefit and apply the "no harm" dictum first.

Melissa Kartasevich
Melissa Kartasevich
In 2013, Melissa Kartasevich was enjoying life, raising her six year old daughter, Sarah and engaged to be married to her fiancé, Dennis Dupre. In April, she woke one morning with pain and discomfort on her left side. Assuming it was a result of sleeping in a bad position, she took pain medication and went to work. By lunch time, the pain worsened so Melissa went to the emergency room. The doctors ran some tests and performed a CAT scan, where they noticed her spleen had infracted, but didn't know the cause. Melissa was admitted to the hospital for five days, where she underwent further tests revealing a suspicious spot on her pancreas. Next, she had an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) which confirmed the diagnosis. Melissa, 38, had pancreatic cancer. To say she was shocked would be an understatement.

Debbie Getz is a fighter, there's no doubting that. After beating inflammatory breast cancer in 1998, she continued diligently with follow-up oncology appointments. "Whenever something questionable showed up on an MRI or CAT Scan, I looked into it immediately," Debbie recalls.
In March 2014, she experienced pain in her right side. "I thought it was a gall bladder attack," admits Debbie, who quickly scheduled an appointment with her primary doctor, who sent her for imaging tests.

As a school nurse, Carol Hobson knew the importance of taking care of her own health.
After 23 years in the field, Carol retired in January 2011 at the age of 67. In June, while experiencing severe left shoulder pain, Carol's husband, Wayne, took her to the emergency room at their local hospital. Doctors performed several tests which were inconclusive. Carol was sent home to follow up with her family doctor.
James Tetzlaff
James Tetzlaff
When he thinks back on October 28, 2013, Jim Tetzlaff realizes it would have been easy to ignore what happened and not give it another thought. "I'm a man – we have a tendency to ignore things that have to do with our health," says Jim, who was 75 at the time. On that day, after one of his grandson's football games, Jim went to the bathroom and saw blood in his urine. "It was upsetting, but I didn't have any other symptoms so I thought it had to be a fluke," recalls the former medical equipment salesman.
Robert Sklar
Robert Sklar
In February, 2014, Robert Sklar believed that he was "indestructible." At 70, he had never had any serious illnesses, was rarely sick and did not take any medications. But, when he returned from Las Vegas feeling exhausted and not himself, Robert made an appointment with his family doctor. She ordered blood work and conducted a general physical. "My hemoglobin count was 6 and should have been 12. She referred me to my local community hospital for my first ever colonoscopy," he recalls.
Research Interests
- Basic research: I have extensive laboratory experience studying p53 and microsatellite instability in relation to Hepatitis viruses in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
- Clinical Research: I am interested in the enhancement of liver recovery after extensive resection with antioxidant agents and agent modulating portal vein pressure. I am also interested in outcomes research after liver surgery.

WATCH: Paul George's Gruesome Injury
I hope you've finished eating dinner before you watch this one. Indiana Pacers F Paul George is likely done for the season after breaking his leg during a USA Basketball Showcase Friday night. Again, this isn't for the squeamish and there's some profanity as well, which I think you can understand.

Aiken Standard (Newspaper) - October 9, 1989, Aiken, South Carolina Sports USC Ranked In Top 25 Page 9A A Quick Read Pumpkin Grower's Effort Thwarted HARVARD, 111. (AP) — Larry Davidson lavished months of attention on one prickly vine in hopes of growing the Great Pumpkin, but was disappointed when plants he gave less water and manure produced greater gourds. "I spend so much time pampering one plant and it doesn't cooperate," grumbled the owner of Larry Davidson & Sons Giant Pumpkins. He had sheltered his favored seedling with a tent, warmed it with a space heater, encouraged it with a grow light, dumped 1,600 gallons of water on it and monitored it with a thermostat. The chosen seed turned into a 250-pound pumpkin, but others on Davidson's eight-acre farm grew larger. Davidson, who claims to have the largest selection of giant pumpkins for sale in the Midwest, says it's not the first time he's been thwarted in his efforts to nurture the biggest pumpkin in the world. Cocaine Prices Rise In Many Areas WASHINGTON (AP) - Cocaine prices went up in parts of the United States as Colombia cracked down on drug traffickers, but it's too soon to predict whether recent U.S. seizures will force the cost up even further, law enforcement officials say. Miami has shown the greatest price increase, going from $9,000 to $10,000 for a kilo of cocaine before the crackdown to $20,000 today, according to Metro-Dade Police Detective George Reyes. Along the Mexican border in southern Texas, the price of a kilo recently jumped to $14,000 to $15,000 after remaining steady for about a year at $11,000 to $12,000, said Armando Ramirez, the Drug Enforcement Administration's resident agent in charge of the Brownsville office. In Los Angeles, Sgt. Tim Beard of the County Sheriff's Office says cocaine prices range from $10,000 a kilo, for someone buying IO kilos or more, to $15,000 for a novice buyer. At the same time, Steve Georges of the DEA in Los Angeles says the per-kilo price is $14,000 to $15,000, an increase of $1,000 to $2,000 from a year ago.

New Church Program Set To Aid Hurricane Victims By The Associated Press CHARLESTON — Churches around the country can help South Carolina rebuild by adopting a family victimized by Hurricane Hugo, Gov. Carroll Campbell said in one of his first speeches since the storm hit Sept. 21. "This long-term recovery process is going to take long-term support," Campbell told about 300 members of the Citadel Square Baptist Church in downtown Charleston Sunday. "Many families have lost everything. They are not going to bounce back from those circumstances," he said. "It's going to take months and maybe years for some of them to get back on their feet. " In South Carolina, 24 counties and 1.8 million people were affected as Hugo rolled through the state Sept. 21, killing 18 and causing an estimated $4 billion to $5 billion in damage. Campbell has held several news conferences since the storm, but Sunday was the first time he spoke about the storm in person to a formal gathering of Charleston residents. Services at the 134-year-old church in downtown Charleston, which itself suf- Relief Funds Rolling In................Page 1B fered some $250,000 in roof, window and other damage, were taped for broadcast on the American Christian Television System. Campbell used the opportunity to promote die Adopt-A-Family program announced last week as a means of linking individual congregations with families affected by the hurricane. He urged all willing churches to contact their South Carolina counterparts, which in turn would put them in touch with troubled families. The churches are needed, the Republican governor said, to provide "spiritual, material and moral support44 for up to a year. Campbell's wife, Iris, who conceived the plan, said church leaders are supportive. But she said many congregations would consider the program for the first time Sunday and it was too early to tell how many congregations will participate. "We'll be back," Campbell told his audience.

Police seized between 30 and IOO people, according to Hessische Rundfunk radio in Frankfurt. Several people were injured. The latest arrests came after hundreds were detained in protests Saturday in East Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Jena, Potsdam and Plauen. Some estimates put the number arrested at more than 1,000 in East Berlin alone. "Many of those arrested have been given summary trials and sentenced to pris on terms of up to six months," West Germany's ARD television said today. It did not give a more precise estimate. ARD said demonstrations had also occurred in Karl-Marx Stadt. East German officials gave no reports of arrests or injuries. As it marks its 40th anniversary, East Germany is in the throes of the most serious street demonstrations since Soviet tanks and troops put down a workers' revolt in 1953. (Please See PROTESTERS, Page 12A) Nobel In Medicine Goes To Americans By The Associated Press STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Americans J. Michael Bishop and Harold E. Varmus won the Nobel Prize in medicine today for their discovery of a family of genes that has helped scientists understand how cancer develops. Bishop, 53, and Varmus, 49, work in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of California School of Medicine in San Francisco. "I was stunned," said Bishop, who lives in Belvedere, outside San Francisco. Varmus said he was sleeping when he heard the news on the radio. "I didn't know if it was a false alarm or they got my name confused, not having talked to anyone directly," he said from his home in San Francisco. "As we say in science. I needed confirmation of the information." The 50-member Nobel Assembly of the Karolinska Institute, Sweden's largest and oldest medical university, cited tile researchers 44for their discovery of the cellular origin of retroviral oncogenes." Their 1976 work on oncogenes, which control the division and growth of cells, helped understand how malignant tumors develop, the citation said. The discovery also "widened our insight into the complicated signal systems which govern the normal growth of cells," the assembly said. Oncogenic virus was discovered as early as 1916, although it was not known as such until nearly 50 years later. Bishop and Varmus "published the remarkable conclusion that the oncogene in (Please See NOBEL, Page 12 A) Space Shuttle Countdown Starts Despite Protests By The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The countdown for this week's planned launch of space shuttle Atlantis started today despite the promise of anti-nuclear activists to sit on the launch pad if necessary to block a payload that carries radioactive plutonium. Electrical power flowed into the shuttle's systems as the clock began ticking at 8 a.m. If a federal judge approves, Atlantis is to lift off at 1:29 p.m. Thursday with five astronauts who are to dispatch the nuclear-powered Galileo spacecraft to explore the planet Jupiter. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided to begin the count on schedule this morning even though a decision is pending on a lawsuit by three citizens' groups seeking a temporary restraining order to halt the launch. The groups contend that an explosion on liftoff could spread cancer-causing plutonium particles over a large area of east-central Florida. NASA officials say the two nuclear-powered generators aboard Galileo have been thoroughly tested and that flying them poses minimal health and environmental risks. U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch scheduled oral arguments on the suit for Tuesday in Washington. This is the first time anyone has gone to court to stop a space launch.
