Changes from version 0.11.5 to 0.12.0 are as follows:
Added one more line to the audio mixer, which has now 4-in/4-out/4-bus in total.
Updated libopus library to the latest version 1.1.2.
Replaced deprecated Carbon Component Manager APIs.
and done App Sandboxing.
If you have a problem with your MP3 encoding in this version, read the previous article One thing you might have to know before 0.12.0 and/or watch the how-to video first.
If you have a problem with your Event Handler AppleScripts, try to reselect them in the Events panels.
As always any reports or suggestions are welcome, by the comments below or emails.

Hi im new with this program and i wan to make ths autoconnect with server at startup
so i make and applescript
It works in a mac with 10.8.5 but doesnt work on a 10.9.5 it doesn recognize the command connect.
Thanks for the help
Hi Manuel, welcome to LadioCast:).
At least the script seems to need double quotation marks around the application name like;
tell application "LadioCast" to connect
I don't have 10.8.5 environment currently but it does on 10.9.5.
See what happens.
ist it possible to use Ladiocast with Jack Audio (http://www.jackaudio.org).
I tried it but it did not succeed.
Thanks for Help
Hi, Dirk.
LadioCast currently doesn't have any functionality communicating with Jack Audio directly.
So some (virtual) audio devices might be required for that.
this soft important
Hello shuji kurata,
Thank you for the comment. I think so:).
Can you stream to multiple servers with your app? One to AAC and one to MP3 at the same time?
Hello Shepherd Grei,
> Can you stream to multiple servers with your app? One to AAC and one to MP3 at the same time?
Yes. Use Streamer 1 & Streamer 2.
(In the case you use MP3, read the previous article No.89 and/or watch the video for libmp3lame in the Apple sandbox environment.)
awesome! Thanks! i'll test it out soon :)
So yes, unfortunately, the file is not there, I tried finding the file on the internet, found it, but stil not working when placed in the supposed directories.
I got he lame encoder working! I had to download the lame MP3 Encoder off of sourceforge and install properly. I'll be testing it very soon. I guess the only thing this program could use is a record function. Thanks for your work!
thank you
Very good application!
I've a problem streaming in HE-AAC format to shoutcast server with 64kbps. Server goes down and restarts. Note that my server accepts only 64kbps streams to correctly work.
The problem is not present using butt (https://danielnoethen.de/), that use fdk-aac codec for AAC+. What's the problem with Ladiocast? The codec, or the bit-rate setting
Thank you very much!
Hello Ivan,
Thank you for reporting about LadioCast!
I've tested the setting HE-AAC 64kbps with SHOUTcast DNAS/mac v184.108.40.2066 (Mar 31 2015) and couldn't see the server restarting.
Please check the environment to reproduce the error and if you find other conditions, please write them again.
You're right, my configuration is quite complicated…
I have a server running SHOUTcast Server 22.214.171.1246, and the Centova Cast control panel v3.2.6. On Centova Cast autodj is enabled by means of sc_trans v2. When I have to stream a live show I could connect to another port using shoutcast protocol and sc_trans would be able to manage the handover between the streams.
Because my global stream is encoded using HE-AAC 64kbps, I would like to stream my live stream to sc_trans v2 as HE-AAC 64kbps too, but with LadioCast I was not able to do this. Server restarts when I connect. Using mp3 at 128kbps works fine!
Then I tried butt (namely, Broadcast Using This Tool) with the same configuration (HE-AAC 64kbps) and it works like a charme!
I hope you can fix this issue, because LadioCast is right a wonderful software: simple and efficient.
Thank you for support!
How is the server when AAC comes from LadioCast, and other bitrate (48kbps) of HE-AAC?
Neither AAC works. I tried other bit-rates and it doesn't work.
MP3 works with any bit-rates.
Thank you for the information.
In this case, it seems to be relatively hard to guess what happens in the server. I would recommend reporting the restarting behaviours to sc_trans creators because they might not be intended.
I'm sorry no helps from LadioCast so far.
Any additional information is welcomed.
Hi kawauso, thanks for this app. It's great – absolutely!
thanks to this app
Reno, how's it going?
Dear Mr. Kawauso!
At the first let me say THANK YOU SO MUCH about perfect programmed app that serve our personal need and needs of (i hope) thousands small broadcasters in a world!
Small, simple, bug-free, stable!
Could You be so please to make ability to choose different source for each streamer?
The reason of this is more then one:
1. You right, different players support different codecs for streaming and most part of them – support both FLAC, AAC/LC/HE. And most of tabletop players (from SONY, JVC, YAMAHA, PIONEER) and mobile players Apple iOS, Android prefer lossless formats FLAC, AAC to satisfy the listeners in terms of quality of music.
Since Fraunhofer start push to licensee MP3 algorithm both in software and hardware, and iOS become spreading more and more the world, Apple open their implementation of AAC/LC/HE for free, the OGG and FLAC take part of MP3′s from the player's world.
During last 5 years we see that most popular music streaming services like Spotify, Pandora, Netflix, Apple Music, Slacker, Last FM goes to only 1-2 streaming format with 1-2 bitrates (good quality – mobile quality).
As a result we see much bitrates needs is slowly going out.
2. Many small and middles Broadcasting radiostations who not able to spend a HUGE budget on bulky and proprietary systems (like STUDER, AXIA, TELOS, ARRAKIS, WHEATSTONE, HARRISON, AUDIOTRONICS, LOGITEC, AUTOGRAMM, etc) choose to build their system on one or several Intel/Apple servers. This give both flexibility, cable-less operation, sound quality and protect investment. (Small example – software loudness meter, live broadcast recorder that must be used, less expensive then hardware implementation with SAME quality, even we close eye that for example some of them t.c.electronic for example build on open software…)
Additional to this, of course, most of this small and middle broadcaster have several channels: several music styles, or several group of listeners (more like news, or more like music, or more like talk show), so several streams need. And if this is one server – all of them need nor different codecs for stream, but ability to choose different audio sources.
AS we know, making the "Source selector" is not hard work from programming side due OS X programming in past 3 years come to easy way and well documented.
You thoughts about this?
Thank You for Your time and attention!
Hello Sergei Shablovsky,
Thank you for the very informative comment. That would be one of the longest I received on this site😊.
Currently, as you know, ladiocast streams one content per each process (app). So, at the same time, if you run multiple (copied) ladiocasts, they will streams simultaneously and separately. It has been a little bit tricky, though.
I will consider your suggestion about the different source selecting functionality.
I hope I've understood your needs for the app.
Dear Mr. Kawauso!
1. Thank You for fast and detailed reply. Let me say, this is good style for indie developer.
2. The long comment for better describing situation. Many of newbies in broadcasting (like we a some time ago) make the same mistakes and have the same questions and needs in knowledge on software and hardware. And may be most of them see themselves in situation described. And get positive results.
3. On our knowledge, launch several copies of ladiocasts app and manage them is really frustrating when using 2-3 displays in Mac Pro (and on el Capitan/SIerra windows management of Ladiocast on 2-3 monitors sometime give unpredicted results…).
In any case, we try to point on that the "Selecting Source" is more needed for most users then 3-4-5 different codecs. And we try to detailed describe why. :)
Thank You again one time! Have a nice day!
Thank you for the summary.
I will consider the source selective parallel streaming in the future releases, though it would take much reconstruction of ladiocast, and time:).
Very great news!
May be also AU/VST support possible? Not very big plugin matrix like Nicecast, but some simple, just limit insert for example 3-4 plugin (in practice of even hi-quality online broadcasting You not need more 4)… ?
Thank You for attention and customer care!
Any updates? :)
Hello Sergei, thank you for the suggestion.
Receiving requests from you and several people about audio units, plugins, etc., they are on the list of ladiocast improvement ideas.
Nicecast is a great one handling them:).
Is there a way to set witch channel of my audio interface is ladiocast getting?
For example: I want to send the input 3-4 of my MOTU ultralite mk3 to ladiocast and from there to soundflower, but ladiocast seems to listen only inputs 1-2.
Hello Pedro,
Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately ladiocast sees only the lowest 2 channels of each audio device. Some channel remapping outside is needed for others, currently.
Dear Mr.Pedro!
We have no the same particular issue, but try to make some experiments in System Preferences/Audio Devices section (Sierra, macOS 10.12.2 (16C68) ): there are two option
- Create Aggregate Device
- Create Multi-Output Device
May be this help You…
P.S. Please drop a line here if You have a positive result, – this help others.
Thank you for the comment.
Have a good stream!
Ladiocast over macbook pro or iMac with osx Sierra, stops broadcasting to icecast server if app goes to background (in 1/2 minutes, stop. If I click on app and get foreground, the broadcast come back).
What can I do?
Hello Litiobat,
Please specify what operation you do to make the app "background".
Thank you.
Any other operation, for example, open iTunes and play music. Then, LadioCast goes to background and it's broadcasting to my server. If I move mouse and using computer (changing music or doing a "live show"), there are not problem. But If I don't touch computer in a few minutes, and LadioCast is in background (iTunes in foreground)… then broadcast stops (the app shows that is "connected" but really, don´t). No always at same time… sometimes in 1 or 2 minutes, and other times 10 minutes or more.
At first time I think that problem is an "energy save" of MacBook (I've change configurations to disable it too), but on iMac the problem is the same.
If I've got iTunes in background and LadioCast in first line (foreground), then no problem, the broadcast never breaks for hours.
Thank you for the description. At the moment, I have no idea what's happening there. If you see "Total Sent(kbytes): " indicator increasing, ladiocast is surely sending such amount of data through the network. If not, the stream can be halted.
Hello, Thank you for a great app.
I have one thing I want to do with LadioCast and very much appreciated if you could give me a advice on a possible way.
I am using Logic pro x as DAW and RME fireface UCX as audio interface with we use with software mixer called Totalmix.
What I want to do is using this system and LadioCast, route the audio signal to output 1, fireface UCX(audio interface) and 2, HDMI.
But when I choose fireface UCX as input the audio signal in not coming in to LadioCast.
I have also tried software called soundflower and using that I succeeded in outputting the audio to 1 and 2.
But to fill my purpose, I need to control the audio signal with the fireface`s mixer so I want to know a way to choose it and input the signal.
Thank you.
Hello ryo tsutsui,
Thank you for reporting that. First of all, check the input device's channel layout because ladiocast uses only 1 & 2, the lowest 2 channels.
Please write again if that doesn't matter.
Hello Mr, Kawauso,
Thank you for your fast reply.
from the input device Fireface UCX I am using channel 1&2 and trying to input signal to LadioCast but the signal is not coming…
I am selecting Fireface UCX as input device from the pull down but do I need to do anything extra?
Thank you,
LadioCast has been overlooked about not being sandboxed for a long time until the end of version 0.11. But on the next release, version 0.12.0, as Apple's review requested, LadioCast will go into the sandbox. Fortunately, as a result, LadioCast wouldn't be negatively impacted by sandboxing … except for one thing.
MP3 encoding.
LadioCast links Lame MP3 encoding library named
libmp3lame.dylib only if it's found. And in that case LadioCast shows MP3 option among the encoding formats.
But now from the inside of the sandbox, any local library would not be found and linked, so MP3 option would be gone.
Solution to this MP3 user's problem is simple, copy the file into the LadioCast's sandbox. The sandbox folder will be placed as
${HOME}/Library/Containers/com.kawauso.LadioCast/Data/, so it should be done with Terminal.app like:
$ cp (ex./usr/local/lib/)libmp3lame.0.dylib ~/Library/Containers/com.kawauso.LadioCast/Data/
The file name
libmp3lame.0.dylib is better but if you have only
libmp3lame.dylib and have been working well with it, copy in the same way.
Though it's so simple with Terminal.app, I show another way for Finder.app lovers:) with the MOVIE!!.
LadioCast 0.12.0 will be released in a few days on MAS.
Thank you for reading.

Anyway, what's different now is that Rahma has been convicted by Israel of incitement. Dana does the usual: Complains, covers up the actually very violent nature of the protests at B'ilin, complains some more, and so forth. Naiman on the other hand whines that the US media isn't covering the story. Wow, my heart bleeds for him. Here, let's take a look at the other side of this story:
"On the ground, the IDF company commander announces over a loudspeaker that this is a closed military zone, and presents the decree to the demonstrators. Protesters begin shouting, "with spirit and blood we'll redeem Palestine," and "soldier, murderer, the intifada will win."Now once this reality sets in, it is much harder to make the case that Rahma is really a "Gandhi." Is this truly a peaceful protest, or is it merely not as violent as suicide bombings or drive-by shootings?
At first, Israeli Left-wing activists appear at the front and begin shouting at soldiers, while two Palestinians attempt to climb onto of jeeps in order to hurt soldiers. In response, the company commander gives order and troops push back the demonstrators, hitting them with batons. Two Palestinians are injured. The shouts get louder, and suddenly the Left-wing activists move to the sides. Palestinians in the middle then begin throwing rocks at the soldiers."
Ultimately, this says less about this particular case than it does about Palestinian society in general, and their position in the world. The bar is set so ridiculously low that just about anyone can be a Pandela as long as he isn't a terrorist.
Just take a look at Rahma: He's a community organizer who leads peaceful (not really) demonstrations against the Israeli occupation. However, I should point out that Gandhi and Mandela were not always community organizers, they eventually came to lead the people and unite them. Has Rahma done that? Is there any kind of hint that he would do that if he could? Then what exactly has he done to earn the title of "Pandela?"
The truth, of course, is that Rahma has not done anything that dozens of Israelis have done. Peace Now holds truly peaceful demonstrations all the time. I saw one the last time I was in Israel. Is Yariv Oppenheimer an "Israeli Mandela" or an "Israeli Gandhi?" Of course not. But Mr. Oppenheimer is Israeli while Mr. Rahma is Palestinian. And that's the only difference.
Which demonstrates perfectly how low the bar is set. "Mr. Rahma! You aren't actively killing Israelis right now? Then by Palestinian standards, that makes you a Gandhi! Congratulations!" It doesn't much matter that Rahma has no power, or that his followers are maybe .00001% of Palestinian society, or that he could or would stop terrorism should it resume. Because he's a Palestinian, and not a terrorist, that makes him a Pandela.
As long as these ridiculous double standards continue, don't be surprised if nothing changes.

Ontario cannot meet its deficit reduction targets over the next two years without making dramatic cuts to spending – including slashing the health-care budget – or hiking taxes.
That was the stark warning the province's civil service gave Premier Kathleen Wynne in a briefing note when she took office early last year. The briefing was released Monday by the Progressive Conservatives, who found it in a pile of finance documents recently requisitioned by a legislative committee.
The note confirms what has long been suspected: that the government was not entirely certain how to hit the aggressive deficit targets set by former finance minister Dwight Duncan, and that to do so will require harsher austerity than the province has yet seen. Spending, the briefing says, would have to be cut to the level it was in the 1990s. Funding for health care, for instance, would need to be cut by 5 per cent when population growth and inflation are factored in.
"The Ontario plan to balance … is the longest and most likely stringent in Canada," reads the note. "No other Canadian jurisdiction, over their anticipated timeframe to balance, projects a decline in real per capita program expense of this magnitude."
The briefing helps explain why Finance Minister Charles Sousa announced last fall he is prepared to miss medium-term deficit reduction targets. In effect, he chose potentially missing the targets over making deeper cuts to spending or raising taxes.
However, Mr. Sousa maintains he can still balance the budget on schedule in fiscal year 2017-18 by relying on economic growth. The government is banking its plans to spend $35-billion on infrastructure over the next three years will give the province's economy a badly needed boost.
Ms. Wynne reiterated her government's reasoning Monday, arguing that making too many cuts will damage the province's economic recovery. "You can't strangle the economy and then expect it to grow. You can't step back and take a passive role in economic growth," she said after a meeting with business leaders in Toronto's financial district. "We're not going to step back and we are not going to slash across government."
The Tories, however, argue it is not possible to balance the books by 2017-18 without meeting interim targets. They say the memo – and the Liberals' reaction to it – shows the government has no idea how it will slay the deficit. "This looks like a premier who has no plan, who is making things up as she goes," PC Leader Tim Hudak told reporters. Derek Burleton, deputy chief economist at Toronto-Dominion Bank, says the Liberals' contention – that they can miss interim targets while still balancing by 2017-18 – could work out, but would be tricky to pull off. Most economists believe Ontario's economy will see moderate, steady growth in the coming years, he said, but it is possible things could go better than expected. "Just because they were to miss a near-term deficit target does not completely rule out the chance of meeting [the 2017-18 balance date]," he said in an interview. "But it makes it more difficult. One of the reasons is that the cost of servicing debt goes up, the debt goes higher and that's a big concern."
Mr. Duncan laid out the targets in 2012. He saw some early success in cutting the deficit, such as when the government imposed new contracts on teachers. But the note suggests even more austerity would be required over the longer term. When Ms. Wynne came to office and Mr. Sousa took over Finance a little over a year ago, they eased off on some aspects of Mr. Duncan's plan, in efforts to repair the government's relationship with teachers and signal they want to spare the province from the harshest cuts.Report Typo/Error

+1 on The Beltman. Jim will take care of you. I've bought two from him and have another on order. Top notch belts and excellent customer service.
I agree with David considering price and quality. If you were looking for the nicest I would recommend those by Sparks, Nossar and a few others, but I think you will be pleased with Beltman.
I have one and like it.
I also would recomment Beltman. I have one of his and love it
Had mine for over one year and it still looks great. You will be amazed out how much different a good belt makes when you carry.

I have a few nice belts. Galco, Beltman and so on. I just ordered me a Cabela's from a link I think from this forum. I just received it and it as thick as any gun belt I ever bought and as in-expensive as a normal belt. The snaps seem a bit weak but that can be fixed if it ever becomes a issue and I doubt it will. At $24.99 it is a real good deal.
Cabela's Double Duty Belt
Edited to add: I only recommend this belt as a inexpensive alternative.
I also just picked up a Cabela's Double Duty because of comments I read on a previous thread. Good thick leather, almost 1/4" thick and ready availability. This is a short term solution as I think I've fallen in love with the Beltman's products and I'm going to order one of those. The only reason I went with the Cabelas belt was delivery, immediate gratification vs 40 days lead time with Beltman.
The only drawback to the Cabelas is it seems like a fairly soft leather. But for now it's working great.
I bought four economical but great leather belts from Looper Leather...$40 each.
Proverbs 27:12 says: The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

Another recommendation for the belt man. Received it from payment to door in 25 days. The black belt with black square buckle is super nice, but I also love the fact that I can use my own buckle.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Question everything, Learn something, Answer nothing.
Those who have an answer for everything, have an answer for nothing.
I agree cant beat The Beltman. But if you dont want to wait 30 days look at Galco gun belts. Very nice thick belts. Ships same day at Opticsplanet.com

Carousel of Dreams Horses Are The Last Set By One of The Most Famous Carvers Ever
The Carousel of Dreams is in the final stages of construction and board members say the horses are the works of art and backbone to why this carousel will be so unique.
These horses were made in 1910 by Charles Carmel, one of the most famous carousel carvers of all time.
There are only four other Carmel carousels in the United States and the Carousel of Dreams will be the only one west of the Mississippi River.
Carmel is known as one of the five master carvers who came to the United State in the late eighteen hundreds.
Ken Johanning, a board member and Carmel expert, said one Carmel horse can go for about $15,000.
Johanning said trying to get a whole set is a nearly impossible, and he knew when he set out on this project there was only one set left in the entire world and it belonged to a woman in New Mexico.
"There were 15 cities trying to get this last Carmel," Johanning said.
Johanning said what makes a Carmel horse different is the detail. You can even see the veins in the horses neck.
The horse facial expressions came from inspiration Carmel got while living above a fire station in New York.
"They were all horse drawn fire trucks, that's why you'll see our horses have more of a flare because those spirited horses would come out and he copied that." said Johanning.
He said if the horse has a missing tooth that means it is a male horse.
In the 1900's they didn't want ladies to have to see the male horses private parts, so they got rid of them and distinguished the males from the female by the missing tooth.
Johanning said the horses are all made out of bass wood which has a heart leaf and it's said that's where the horse gets it's heart.
This carousel will also have the traditional brass ring dispenser where you get a free ride if you pull the brass ring.
"That was a big thing for america back then because America always has to have that little gimmick so that why our horses go counter clockwise because most people were right handed," siad Johanning.
Along with the 45 Carmel horses and three chariots there will be a cougar and a husky.
"It has a red apple carved and whoever wins the apple cup will wear that on the carousel for a year," said Johanning.
There is a traditional wedding horse, the lead horse with the coat of arms and even a seahawk themed horse.
Board Chairman Eric VanWinkle said these horses are truly pieces of art and he can't wait for the public to awed by their beauty.
"We are going to surprise people twice the first time when you see it and then when you go see someone else's. This is world class art this community has never seen before at any level," said VanWinkle.

Fire alarm system green light is too bright and just above the bed. It was impossible to sleep because there is enough light from that little thing to play table games right on the bed during the night. Rest was good enough.
The room was comfortable and their pet policy made out trip much easier. The breakfast was pretty lame: bad coffee and somehow the eggs were grainy (!?!).
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
This isn't the current Pomeroy. This is the Holloway hotel. The old Pomeroy. It's not nearly as nice as the real Pomeroy. I felt cheated.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Large room. Ended up with kitceneette. Cable TV was better then most motels. Separate bedroom with TV.
Friendly staff, wonderful breakfast, clean, comfortable beds Scent was a bit too strong for me
Large clean room Nothing
On arrival- too many things wrong as explained above Did not seem very efficient on detail.... For breakfast I prefer "Hash Brown" potatoes...NOT Deep fried, flavoured ,square, packaged product. I know most restraunts use these packaged items. They should make fresh potato hash browns ????
The staff old building. smoking floors need to be ventalated
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and well put together and the breakfast was wonderful. Pillows were very large and heavy, it was almost impossible to sleep with one because it put my neck at such a horrible angle. Would have been nice if they had two sizes of pillows.
Great bed, nice and roomy Narrow and low hallways
Staff and free airport shuttle
Ample parking, breakfast included, quiet, comfortable room, free WiFi
The breakfast was great. Ice machine was broken on my floor.
not a lot i I was charged $119 per night that I found on the web for $89 a night. the mattress was not very comfortable, pillows were too soft, toilet did not flush properly. Had to call technical service for wireless Internet 4 times
The pool wasn't open and that was very disappointing to our children, they had been really looking forward to playing in there and now they weren't able to.
Free breakfast from 5-10 am was good. Guest laundry was across the hall from my room. Parking out front is a bit cramped, plenty of room out back. Tub and sink in my room didn't drain well.Needed to stay two extra nights and was told regular room rate was ---- per night. Definitely not worth that much, I moved to a different hotels.
The pool Na
Clean, location, friendly, breakfast.
Friendly staff. Good breakfast selection.
Lots not to like. Poor entrance access from parking lot, poor layout and access to rooms. A/C hardly worked.
The location We had a family suit but my son had to sleep on the floor cause the hidabed was broken and in rough shape. This was the second time I stayed here and super 8 is not the place it use to be, really dirty and breakfast is all ordered in pretend food. To bad!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Clean room. Friendly staff N/A
Quiet & friendly. No
Location and Cable channels. Way more channels than any other hotel. Internet was fast Security - Back entrance door to hotel is not locked. Spoke to front desk - said theyve asked for it to be fixed twice. GP is #1 dangerous place in Canada. Fix the door!
Location None
Good value, specially if you book online. Acceptable breakfast. Good internet. Large, clean rooms with fridge and microwave. Good service. Clean sheets, carpets etc. Not an ideal location if you want to get around by foot, but then again it is called a motor Inn. Restaurants and Walmart close by, but may be difficult to get to during the winter by foot. Not the best bathrooms, but acceptable.
Close to everything Nothung
Pool open, waterslide working, and hot tub hot! Hot tub quit working on Sunday.
Everything was great. So much room. Loved the kurig. Pool was nice hot tub working great. Was a great holiday. Nothing
Friendly staff and very spacious rooms with great temperature control. It was a hot weekend and the room stayed nice and cool. Big bathroom with nice shower head. Breakfast was included and good selection. Would be nice to be able to order a movie but that seems to be missing in a lot of hotels these days with the new technology options
Cleaning staff were great. Hotel was quiet. Swimming pool, with slide, excellent for the kids Computers in the Business Centre were less than adequate.
The beds were nice, breakfast Is good and nice variety of breakfast foods, nice pool We wish the pool was open longer. As in grande prairie we had a lot to do and had no time to swim. We've stayed at hotels with 24/7 pools and they are awesome!!!!
Cleanliness, good toiletries in-room. Nice kitchenette. Not walking distance to many amenities. No sidewalks... location of this hotel (Behind Pomeroy) seemed to be an afterthought. Windows look out on parking lot or on other hotel... The breakfast fare was palatable, but disappointing.
The quiet rooms And very good breakfast Could not close the curtains and I was on ground level and also the cost was quite high
The hotel is new and included a microwave and mini-fridge. The location is outside of Grande Prairie and there are no amenities within walking distance. I would have been helpful to have complimentary breakfast at this location because it is so far away from other businesses.
Clean towels, clean sheets, and a free breakfast. You get what you pay for, but the horrible smelling elevator and halls from guests deciding to smoke (and smoke pot) was more than a bit distasteful.
Close to shopping and amenities That I was quoted $101 online and when I checked out my visa was charged $150+ !!!! Not impressed. This had nothing to do with the Hotel but with your false advertising
Front desk staff were very friendly
Couple people at front were good and helpful One girl at counter Irene, I paid online and they requested a 400$ on top so my trip was 1000$ before I complained and got my deposit back and tried to charge twice for my dog
There wasn't suppose to be a deposit and I ha to pay one which complicated my leaving as we were 2 suppose to leave at different hour.
Price. Not enough towels. Door didn't lock from inside. Looked unkempt from outside. Clientele was treeplanters and rowdy.
Nothing Dirty, old. No bathroom sink, just a large kitchen sink. Door not sealed properly. No heat control.

passing a stomach virus??????
well a lovely stomach virus has passed threw my house, we are still feeling crappy (lol). Last night poor lexie was sick as a dog, who says you cant pass a virus to your dog :eek: my poor baby girl.
Unless you both have Salmonella or Giardia, it is EXTREMELY unlikely there is a zoonotic illness passing between you and your dog. Trans-species illnesses can be fairly rare. Most likely, it is just a coincidence. Because trust me, you would probably know if you had salmonella poisoning or a giardia infection.
There was one time I thought my daughter got croup from a dog with kennel cough but I am not 100% sure, because of the unlikelihood of that happening.
I think, too, it was a coincidence.
BUT immunocompromised kids can possibly contract it I think...a friend whose child has CF quit fostering, for her child's health.
Actually, you may very well have.
Assuming you have a norovirus, which is one of the viruses commonly responsible for intestinal illness in humans, there is a study that shows that not only can we pass it along to our dogs, but that the dog can actually get sick from it.
The cases where it is experimentally known to have happened, there were multiple (> 2) people, including children, in the house who were sick. In other houses where there were fewer people sick, the dog did not contract the virus. I suppose there needs to be a LOT of exposure for the dog to pick it up.
GI bacteria tend to be some of the most common zoonotic diseases that are passed, so it's possible. Campylobacter, e. coli, etc... But these tend to present with some pretty severe symptoms, just making it more unlikely. But again, it's possible
Poor you..its happened at our house too! Its the pits!

Adam Sandler raises hair in "Zohan"
By Iain Blair
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian Adam Sandler has played a wedding singer, a waterboy, a firefighter pretending to be gay, and the devil's son.
So it was likely just a matter of time before he ended up playing a tough-as-nails Israeli commando who secretly wants to be a hairdresser -- the wacky premise behind "You Don't Mess With The Zohan," his new comedy debuting in theaters on Friday.
Sandler, who hails from Brooklyn, New York, said the inspiration for "Zohan" dates back to his childhood when he heard stories about how tough the Israeli army was, even though the country was small.
"Anytime anyone comes after them, they take care of business," Sandler told reporters at a recent news conference, "As a Jewish kid, you were proud of that. So I admired them."
Later in life, Sandler said he hung out with many Israelis in California, went to their weddings and parties and "couldn't believe how insane it got."
"An Israeli guy who used to cut my hair, and I just thought it'd be funny to see an Israeli soldier, a bad-ass fearless warrior who had a little secret dream of wanting to do something else, but was embarrassed to share it with anyone," Sandler said.
Co-written by Sandler, writer/director Judd Apatow and "Saturday Night Live's" Robert Smigel, "Zohan" features a large ensemble cast that includes John Turturro and Chris Rock, and has cameos by the likes of Mariah Carey and John McEnroe.
Sandler portrays the title character who fakes his own death so that he can disappear to New York City and pursue his dream. But his violent past soon catches up with him, and Zohan finds himself in the middle of another war, this time between immigrant Israelis and Palestinians. Continued...

When you look at the "one shot stop" percentages you can see why my nightstand gun is a shotgun.
This is a discussion on SR22 as a CCW within the Rimfire forums, part of the Other Firearms category; This is an interesting article about this subject: An Alternate Look at Handgun Stopping Power...
This is an interesting article about this subject:
An Alternate Look at Handgun Stopping Power
When you look at the "one shot stop" percentages you can see why my nightstand gun is a shotgun.
Would I carry it as a defensive weapon? With no hesitation. I can put 10 in a close radius VERY quickly. Do I use it that way? nope. I carry my lcp, and my LC9 daily. I feel very comfortable with that arrangement...but without those two...i would feel quite comfortable with 10 stingers in my sr22pb.
I am sure I have posted on this before, but I will go again. No, I would not carry a .22 for defensive purposes. Is it better than nothing? Of course. Is it better than a rock, as some have mentioned? Of course it is. But their are much better choices available. A well placed .22 round, or several, will kill a BG for sure. Should I need my weapon, my goal is not to kill somebody. My goal is to make them stop ASAP. So for me, I want heavier lead. Even a .380 bullet looks pretty big when it is laid down beside a .22 bullet.
If you are recoil sensitive, a 22 is a viable option for concealed carry. Not all of the people in this world are built like tanks that can handle recoil from the higher caliber brethren of the 22. That being said, a 22 is definitely not my first choice - nor is the 380. But if a 22 is what I got, then a 22 is what I got. The first rule of any gun fight is "have a gun."

Good morning Leeds.
It's been quite a few days for Leeds! Leeds United fans have been partying throughout the weekend after their team won promotion to the Championship after three agonising years.
As the dust settles on the general election results - and Pudsey and Elmet and Rothwell constituencies switching from Labour to the Conservatives - the focus firmly falls on Leeds council. Despite Labour gains, the council remains in no overall control - Labour could snatch power if they form a coalition with the Green Party. If they can't, will the Tory-Lib Dem-Morley Borough Independents coalition continue to rule?
It's an issue I'll be looking at today.
Here's what's been making Leeds tick over the weekend
Leeds are going up! There's a slideshow of fans celebrating over at the YEP. Check out Love Leeds Hate Bates, LUFC Talk, Fans Online, Leeds United Fan Club, the official site and The Square Ball. There's a match report at the BBC and some video footage of the celebrations on YouTube. Championship football for next season for Leeds!
Proposals to improve safety at a traffic blackspot in Wetherby have been put forward by the council, reports the YEP.
Enjoy a damn fine cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie at Temple Works in July as Leeds 'Peak freaks' - fans of cult TV programme Twin Peaks - take part in a special party, which will include screenings and the odd dancing dwarf, one-armed man and FBI agents or two will be thrown in for good measure! The Culture Vulture and Ubiquitous6 need YOU to be a special agent of the creative kind!
Thousands of runners joined in the Leeds Half Marathon yesterday, reports BBC Leeds.
Leeds University Union has been accused of censorship after temporarily causing an issue of its newspaper, The Leeds Student, to be pulled back from shelves after publication, reports The Cambridge Student Online. There's an editorial on Leeds Student's homepage and a whole host of links about the row here.
"I wasn't really sure what to expect. Turns out nobody else did either. We'd invited a bunch of bloggers from Barcelona and a few local folks for a look around and a bit of a natter."
- Phil Kirby of Temple Works blogs on the visit of a group of Barcelona's top bloggers to see what Leeds is all about.
Top restaurant cirtic Jay Rayner has done Otley! Two decades after thrilling him in his first review as a budding restaurant critic for his student newspaper, Rarner finds a Itlaian chef still going string in his review of Buon Apps.
Find out why Meanwood is becoming the place to be for beer lovers over at Reet Good - A Leeds Drinking Blog.
A number of articles about the history of De Lacy Mount have been posted on the Kirkstall Online discussion boards by Mike Harwood.
Fairtrade Leeds chairman Ian Adderley is in Lille, France, to speak at the 'forum national du commerce equitable'. Here's his blogpost on the trip.

I was expecting a lot of ice on the path, because the temperature was in the teens last night and was still below 32 (F) when I began my run. Also, we had a bit of snow during the night. I thus put on my ice cleats. However, by the time I began my run, the snow had been plowed from the path by the city folks, and patches of snow that had been left were melting due to the warm asphalt. I quickly realized I didn't need the cleats, because the path was mostly clear of snow and ice, although it had a lot of water on it from melting snow. There were some patches of ice, and I left the cleats on. However, during the last quarter mile, I took the cleats off and navigated around the few icy spots.
Just before I reached my 2.5 mile turn-around, I discovered one of my ice cleats had come off. I back tracked and found it about 100 yards away. I had put that cleat on without taking my shoe off, and I didn't get it pulled enough over the sole of the shoe. The cleats have a rubber "web" that fits over the toe, heel, and soles of the shoe. The other cleat didn't come off, because I had put that one on after I took my shoe off, and I had it pulled over the sole far enough that it stayed on. Lesson learned to take shoes off to put on the cleats.

Im an big runner myself. Im not sure what type of ice cleats you use but I am a huge fan of Spiky Ice Cleats. I think they are the best quality out there and beleive me I have tried them all! I think the website is www.spiky.com
Keep truckin!

Thanks, Josh, for the link! The cleats I've been using are similar to the Spiky but not as durable and certainly not as stretchy (thus, they come off in snow). I'll try the Spiky next winter. Thanks again!

O.J. Has to Practice Acting Like a Human Being
Not only did O.J. Simpson not write "I Did It," but he also practiced getting the tears to come in preparation for his interview to promote the book, which never came to fruition.
"O.J. told me [ReganBooks publisher] Judith Regan approached him and said to him, 'Do you mind if we write a book and put your name on it?' I said, 'I don't care. You can write anything you want, as long as you pay me,' " said promoter Norm Pardo, who's preparing a TV documentary about Simpson.
"O.J. would laugh, 'Can you believe they'd pay me to say I wrote something I didn't actually write?' A ghostwriter largely based the book on court transcripts from Simpson's trial," Pardo told Page Six.
And according to Pardo, O.J. still considered himself to be an "actor," rehearsing what he expected would be emotional revelations that he planned on acting out during his tell-all with Judith Regan. God, this guy is beyond creepy. If he's such a good actor, maybe he could try not acting like a man who appears to be guilty of double-homicide, because his performance leaves something to be desired.

Some would argue that Namibia's semi-nomadic tribe, the Himba people, are among the most beautiful in Africa. During my visit this past June, I had a hard time disagreeing. And not just because of their physical appearance. Their beauty emanates from within. Even with cultural differences and a language barrier, I felt like a welcomed houseguest during my much too short visit.
After an enchanting night at Serra Cafema lodge, my group and our guide, Jeremiah, headed across the moonscape land in search of the Himba people. As they recently had relocated themselves to be closer to water, the drive was a little longer than originally expected. However, the fascinating scenery along the way was a treat all on its own and a welcome journey.
When we arrived at the Himba camp, Jeremiah greeted them first to make sure they were ready for visitors on this particular day. After the invitation to join them, we began to say hello and introduce ourselves. We were quickly met with warm smiles and handshakes. The question of possible intrusion immediately vanished from our minds as the Himba started to teach us about themselves.
The women were covered head-to-toe in a special mixture of ochre and animal fat that served for both beautification and practical purposes – it helped protect their skin from the hot desert sun. I couldn't help but be curious and after demonstrating how it was prepared, one of the women applied some all over my face, having a good laugh while doing so. Presumably she was as enthralled with me as I was with her.
After a few hours, I was feeling connected and gaining more of an understanding of what the Himba daily lives were like. I was impressed and humbled just to be in their presence. These kind souls live off the land with the absolute bare necessities, traveling when needed to search out food and water for themselves and their cattle. And all the while possessing a joy and happiness that is not only contagious, but purely, undeniably, and absolutely beautiful.

Sabudana /sago/tapioca is known in Hindi/Marathi sābūdānā (literally, 'grains of sago'),সাবুদানা (Sabudana) in Bengali, સાબુદાણા (Sabudana) in Gujarati, Urdu sābūdānā (a variant of the preceding word), called "Karrapendalam" "కర్రపెండలము" in Telugu,Malayalam kappa or maraccīni, Tamil maravaḷḷi kilanku, and Kannada sabakki(ಸಾಬಕ್ಕಿ). In Indian cuisine, the granular preparation of cassava starch, is known as sābūdānā'. Tapioca flour is a slightly sweet white starchy flour derived from the cassava root. Tapioca flour is also grain free so it is a great choice for those who are wheat or gluten intolerant.
Sabudana is Hindi WORD for Pearl Sago, a whole-grain starch extracted from the pith found inside the trunk of Sago Palm, scientifically known as Metroxylon sagu. Sabudana resembles pearl tapioca, which is derived from the cassava plant. Pearl sago's whitish seeds become soft and spongy when soaked in water, and turn translucent when cooked. Tapioca is a starch extracted from cassava (Manihot esculenta). Commercially, the starch is processed into several forms: powder, fine or coarse flakes or meal, rectangular sticks, and spherical "pearls". Pearls are the most widely available shape; sizes range from about 1 mm to 8 mm in diameter, with 2–3 mm being the most common.
Sabudana is a regular member in my kitchen & used for variety of fasting(vrat /upwas) dishes which we make in Maharashtra.today lets learn how to make sabudana flour at home.
Ingredients :
500gm sabudana pearls /sago/tapioca
Method :
1.Rub some ghee to the sago and roast it over low heat. Stir occasionally to keep from burning.It changes to golden color after 5- 10 minutes.
2.Remove from the fire and keep aside to cool.
3. Make a very fine powder of sago in a heavy duty grinder and keep aside.
4. Strain with a strainer .Grind the coarse leftover remains in grinder & again strain it.
5.Use the tapioca flour immediately or pour it into an airtight container.
6. Seal the container and store the tapioca flour in the refrigerator until it is needed.
Basically sabudana flour is used as a binding agent in suran thalipeeth/ upwas cutlet / upwas kachori & can be used as a substitute for upwas bhajani / rajgira flour/singhada ata.
Few recipes using sabudana flour.

Roswell police arrest man wanted on ID theft charges across several states
by: Mike Petchenik Updated:
ROSWELL, Ga. - A nationwide search for a suspected
identity thief has ended in Roswell after police said they arrested the man while he was trying to pass bad checks at an area bank.
William LaFlower, 44, is in the Fulton County jail facing several charges stemming from his arrest at a Chase Bank branch on Woodstock Road earlier this week.
Police told Channel 2's Mike Petchenik bank employees knew LaFlower's face before he even stepped foot in the door because Chase Bank had been circulating a picture of the New York man.
"He was trying to pass two forged checks almost in the amount of $5,000," said Officer Lisa Holland with the Roswell Police Department.
Holland said employees immediately called 911, and when an officer arrived, he approached LaFlower as he exited the bank.
"The guy resisted," said Holland. "He kept trying to grab the officer's gun several times and the officer was able to take him into custody."
According to an arrest report, LaFlower told the arresting officer that six members of the "mafia" were in a nearby car watching the arrest and that police should just let him go.
After his arrest, Holland said investigators learned that detectives in Kentucky, Tennessee and New Jersey were all looking for LaFlower for similar crimes.
In all, Holland said police believe LaFlower has defrauded banks out of nearly $300,000.
The police report indicates police found personal information of potential victims in LaFlower's car.
"They could be stealing checks out of mailboxes, they could be entering autos, taking checks left in cars, houses burglaries," said Holland of the typical check forgery suspect. "Hard to say where he's getting all this stuff."
Petchenik discovered LaFlower has convictions out of New York on larceny and assault charges. He's being held in the Fulton County jail without bond.

Hi, I just joined after buying my 2003 SVT 3 door on Saturday. It's red with all the options, 83K miles, stored winters so no MN rust. Seller has a baby coming and had to sell the Focus and his Harley. I am amazed that, at least around here, the SVT costs about the same as the tamer editions. Must be the manual trans. I only paid $5,500 which was a lot less than any other listing with similar miles.
I had a '95 Miata for 8 years and sold it this spring. But though I love my pickup and Land Cruiser, I missed the nimble roller skate. The only reason I even thought of the Focus was reading the comparison road test on the Road & Track site to check out small performer hatches. I am so impressed with the SVT. It has more power and torque than the Miata and heaps more comfort and refinement. Corners nearly as well and feels more controllable at the edges.
So far I am just planning on getting a major service w/timing belt, putting in some fresh bushings, and getting a performance tune mainly to improve the torque curve a little. My little sister is gaga over it but I'm afraid she will have to find her own.

You're growing older as gracefully as you can, but your work has been slipping and the boss is asking questions about it in your performance review.
If you're like most people you'll be tempted to deny that age could be a factor in your effectiveness as an employee. But a Toronto lawyer advises that's the opposite of what older employees should do if they start feeling the weight of time.
"Don't be in denial. Come right out with it. Admit that the fact you're getting older has been having some effect on your performance," David Whitten, a partner at employment law firm of Whitten & Lublin said in an interview.
It's an issue that's arising more frequently now that mandatory retirement at 65 has been eliminated in most workplaces, said Mike Cuma, a partner at human resources consultancy Legacy Bowes Group in Winnipeg. "The pressure is likely to grow on older employees to move on if they can't keep up with the increasing pace of change in workplaces."
"People will say just because workers are getting older that's not a reason that they can't be effective. That's true, and we have 80-year-olds running marathons, but it's also true that most older people have more health issues as they get older. Employers are noticing the burgeoning cost of drug and medical benefits and increased sick time of older employees," Mr. Cuma said.
If veteran employees don't leave voluntarily, employers might turn to performance management to move older workers out the door, Mr. Whitten said. "It's lawful for employers to point to deficient work and offer an ultimatum: a choice between a rigorous performance improvement program or taking a graceful exit," and a majority end up taking a severance.
But employees faced with that choice have another option, he said. "There's another component of age discrimination law: an employer has an obligation under all provincial human rights codes to accommodate age-related infirmities in the workplace."
So, counterintuitive as it may seem to acknowledge you're slowing down, "you should hold up your hand before the performance review if you know that your performance has been suffering. Bring that up with your manager or human resources and ask for assistance," Mr. Whitten advised.
At that point, an employer is legally obligated to go through a review of how they can accommodate an employee's age-related condition, he said.
Under provincial human rights codes, for example, "an employer can't just say that your computer skills aren't up-to-date and they can't afford to send you to a training course. They have to prove that they can't accommodate you in some other role that doesn't require computer use, or they have to prove that the cost of retraining is prohibitively expensive," Mr. Whitten said.
Many times, employers offer to shift an employee to a less-demanding assignment. But workers also have rights to object if employers want to move them to something they don't want to do, he said.
The accommodation has to be reasonable and not punitive. "There has to be regard to your existing job and skills. There has to be 'rational link' to the changes. The employer has to prove that it is not designed to force an employee to quit because it isn't possible to do the new job successfully," Mr. Whitten said.
"It doesn't mean that the person has to accept being shut up in a tiny room doing something radically different from what they've been doing. It can't be something that you've never done before and aren't expected to be able to do successfully."
At the same time, employees must also be willing to co-operate with the employer, he cautioned. "If your employer is reaching out and trying to retrain you, it shouldn't be looked at as nefarious. It could be your employer is earnestly trying to meet the legal obligation to accommodate you."
Older workers should do what they can to keep productive because employers will want to retain seasoned staff who can continue to contribute, said Jan Hein Bax, president of recruiter Randstad Canada.
"I always find that a company will do what it can to keep employees as long as they're adding value to the company. As an employee, your mind should be on ways that you are effective and helping grow the business," Mr. Bax said.
He also has advice for employers. "It's a two-way street: What are you willing to give to help keep your oldest and most seasoned employees who are eager to stay on the job and contribute effectively?"
Accommodation measures could include flexible work schedules and part-time work options.
There's no reason most people can't continue to be productive into their 70s or beyond, he said. "Maybe if you've been logging wood for 30 years, your body can't take more of a strain. But most Canadians are working in an environment that is not physically demanding."
Federal watchdog
The Canadian Human Rights Commission is keeping an eye out for employers that try to push older employees out the door.
The federal Human Rights Act was amended last December to eliminate mandatory retirement of federally regulated employees, but the law provided a one-year transition period before the change goes into effect.
The commission has received inquiries about the potential for "employers seeking to take advantage of the transition period to force employees to retire before they are ready to," the agency said in a release this week.
"While there is no evidence that this is taking place, the commission believes it is prudent to caution any employer that might be considering such action to think again," it said.
''The transition period should not be viewed as a license to force aging workers out the door," said acting chief commissioner David Langtry. "Forcing someone to retire because of their age clearly contradicts Parliament's intent, even if a defence in law still appears to be available," he said.

Shumlin Rejects New Tax As Way To Pay For Health Care Reform
01/20/11 5:50PM By John Dillon
(Host) Governor Peter Shumlin will not call for a tax this year to pay for a sweeping overhaul of Vermont's health care system.
Shumlin says his focus instead is on cutting costs, not on figuring out how to pay for the single payer health plan.
VPR's John Dillon has more:
(Dillon) Shumlin's comments at his weekly news conference came a day after a legislative consultant recommended an 11 percent payroll tax to raise the money for a new health care system.
William Hsiao, a Harvard economist, says the payroll tax would replace the way health care coverage is financed now - primarily through premiums on employers and workers.
But Shumlin did not endorse the payroll tax idea.
(Shumlin) "You know, I'm going to resist the temptation to talk about how we pay for it. Because I think if we make that mistake we lose sight of the prize. The prize for Vermont is designing a health care containment system that works."
(Dillon) Hsiao said on VPR's Vermont Edition that no one - government or businesses - can afford to pay more to expand coverage.
(Hsiao) "So as a result our strategy was we have to produce the savings. And ... we'll use the savings to cover everyone in Vermont."
(Dillon) But Hsaio says there's a place for a tax. The 11 percent tax on an employer's payroll would effectively replace the health insurance premiums that businesses now pay. Employees would pay roughly 5 percent of their salaries to fund the plan.
(Hsiao) "In our design we make sure that most employers and most workers will not pay more than what they pay now for their health insurance premiums."
(Dillon) The Shumlin administration is working with legislative leaders on a single payer bill. The governor said the bill will probably not include a funding plan.
(Shumlin) "I don't think it needs to. I think we first need to pass the cost containment mechanism that will work. We all know that it's going to get paid for. The question is are we going to design that's going to cost less and be more affordable for Vermonters. And that's the hard work."
(Dillon) One idea under consideration to cut costs is paying doctors and other providers based on performance and outcomes as opposed to the current fee for service system.
Shumlin said he was aware of the political pitfalls ahead in reforming health care.
(Shumlin) "I don't think we should underestimate the casualties that have come along the way to some of the best politicians in America. President Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Howard Dean. So the mistake in every single health care reform effort, whether it's federal or state, including Vermont to date, is that none of them have succeeded in containing costs."
(Dillon) Shumlin said he hopes to have a single payer plan in place by 2014, after Congress passes a bill that would allow Vermont to seek an early waiver of federal rules to implement the system.

It's an unusual concept in a poker game: money that isn't wanted. Poker players have a reputation as being ruthless sharks who would sell out their own grandmothers for a little extra profit. But watch any given poker game and inevitably it happens, the bizarre spectacle of a pot surrounded by apathetic players who check, check, check. These unwanted pots—where nobody has flopped much of a hand or shows any real interest in winning—are commonly known as orphan pots.
Orphan pots aren't robust and they aren't sexy. What they are is small and neglected. That waif-like pot sitting lonely and unwanted in the middle of the table is no great prize; it's not going to appreciably add to your stack or give you any kind of emotional rush as you rake in the chips. But in a game where we are forced to fight constant losing battles against the blinds and the rake, where the margin between glorious victory and crushing defeat can be painfully thin, orphan pots are not something you can afford to ignore. The beauty of the orphan pot is that it usually goes to the first player who makes a bet at it. And they come around often enough that the art of stealing these little pots can make a big difference to your bottom line.
Most of the time, orphans can be had for a cheap bet. In a hand where the betting "action" consists of an endless check-fest around the table, one small-to-moderate bet is usually all it takes to bring the hand to a swift conclusion. Small-to-moderate is a key concept here. Since orphan pots are, almost by definition, on the diminutive side—if they weren't, players would naturally take a lot more interest in winning them—you don't want to risk much of your own money trying to pick them up.
As with all bluffs, it's about picking your spots, and that starts with position—especially critical for picking up orphan pots. The player sitting on the button or the cutoff has an immense advantage over his earlier-positioned counterpart when it comes to stealing the occasional orphan. He can make his move earlier, on the flop, as opposed to having to wait for the turn or the river, where a lot of opponents like to play sheriff. And he can make a better move, because late position allows him a better read of his opponents. Much depends on the specifics of the situation of course—the number of opponents, the quality of the opponents, the texture of the board, the stakes of the game, etc—but all things being equal, picking up orphan pots from late position can be ridiculously easy.
However, when bluffing at an orphan pot, always keep in mind what you're risking, versus what you're trying to win. The last thing you want to do is shove out a massive pile of chips just for the chance to win a piddling little orphan pot. When the prize is so small, it's generally not worth the trouble to bet big or bet more than once. So if you push out a bet expecting to make a little easy money only to find that one of your opponents is in the mood to play back at you—let it go. Don't allow yourself to get drawn into some testosterone-fueled bluffing war over an orphan pot. That's like sending your army into battle over possession of an anthill.
Occasionally you'll run into a trap. Perhaps it's an opponent slow-playing aces who is now visibly grateful that he's finally getting some action with his bullets. Tell him "you're welcome" and let it go. Orphan pots aren't worth investing much of your time, energy, or chips in an effort to win them. But if you pick your spots right, they offer a chance to pick up some free money now and then. Orphan pots may not be much of a fortune, but they do favor the bold.

Gwen Stefani & Zuma: Au Revoir Paris!
Heading out of the City of Lights with her son, Zuma, Gwen Stefani was spotted at the airport on Wednesday (November 7).
The "No Doubt" singer looked stylish in a white overcoat, black and gray scarf, black leather pants, and boots as she led her 4-year-old through security.
In addition to her musical endeavours, the 43-year-old star also has her own line of children's clothing. Her Harajuku Mini for Target collection recently marked its one year anniversary with a holiday collection.
Speaking about the designs, Gwen said, "I love black and white, so I wanted to figure out a way to incorporate all the fun trends of the season, and mix and mash it up with my trademark houndstooth pattern."
