We are are trying to decide whether to visit Peru or China. SO different, I know. Each would be interesting. The decision is driving me nuts, and both are places we want to visit. However, we can't do such a "big" trip anytime we want due to time off and finances. So I would love some input/opinions from others who have been to both places. (We have a tight window in which to decide re: China due to a price increase in a couple of days.)
For those who have visited both countries, which did you ENJOY the most and why? What did you NOT like the most and why? Which country would you rather return to?
Thanks for any input!

China or Peru? IF you have honestly been to BOTH, please reply!
We are are trying to decide whether to visit Peru or China. SO different, I know. Each would be interesting. The decision is driving me nuts, and both are places we want to visit. However, we can't do such a "big" trip anytime we want due to time off and finances. So I would love some input/opinions from others who have been to both places.

I was to both in 2008 and back again to China in 2009. A lot depends on how much time you have. You can enjoy Peru in 2 weeks. Two weeks in China barely scratches the surface.
Report Abuse
It also depends on when you are going. If visiting Machu Picchu, I would go only from late May to mid Sept. to avoid rain. I've been to both and enjoyed both, but all things being equal, I preferred China (Beijing, Shanghai, Xian and Guillan) because of the cultural differences, photographic sites and food.
Report Abuse
Been to both, would choose China over Peru. However, it depends on when you are travelling and which option fits the budget. China is bigger country and you will spend longer travelling around than in Peru. Peru has lots of sights and you could see it all in two to three weeks. You could see/do it all in China within the same time frame. In both countries you'd need to decide which sights appeal to you choose which part(s) of the country you'd like to visit. I would return to China I wouldn't care to return to Peru.

Thank you for taking the time to reply w/some thoughtful responses.
RJames, if you don't mind my asking, why wouldn't you want to return to Peru?
Did anyone find the crowded sites or streets, or the much talked about pollution, to be annoying in China?
We'd be going during a good seasonal time for either destination.
A little background: Some of our favorite destinations have been in Europe, esp. in Spain, Italy, France, Santorini, the mediterranean, the caribbean, Cotswolds in England, Rio de Janiero, French Polynesia, Istanbul and places w/either good snorkeling/diving or snow skiing. Our food tastes lean more towards Italian, French, Cuban/latin or gulf seafood and less so towards Asian dishes. The places in China I think we'd enjoy seeing the most? Guillin, Shanghai and the Great Wall. (Also Tibet, but there won't be time/money for that, too.) I can speak a fair amount of Spanish, Peru would mean less of a time change, flts. would be less $, I know we'd love seeing Machu Pichu & the Sacred Valley, and we might also visit Colca Canyon & Arequipa. Not sure about L. Titicaca. I wonder if Peru (except for Lima) might seem a bit "low key" (?). But we've never been there so I just don't know! Decisions, decisions!
Geez, this is TOUGH! Thanks again for your input.

Sorry, bad typo in my last respond, the sentence should read..
You can't see/do it all in China within the same time frame.
mlbcruiser, I don't mind you asking, to be honest I (and my travel companion) were underwhelmed by Peru. We'd stayed at the best hotels, and had an excellent travel company (arranged with a ta in the city we reside) the trip was well organized. On the same trip we'd been to Bolivia and Ecuador (including the Galapagos) and prefered both countries to Peru. You know what it's like when you return from a trip and reflect on your favourite part(s) of the trip, for us it certainly wasn't Peru. Had we not been to Bolivia and Ecuador as well, we may have a different opinion, who knows. Remember, this is just our opinion and obviously, there will be people who would rank Peru much more highly.
You write that you are interested in snorkeling/diving, then the Galapagos is a must. You'll be spoilt with the abundance of wildlife in the Galapagos.
Had no problems with crowds/pollution in China.
Which ever you choose both are unique destinations.
Hope this helps.

Hey, was in Peru in 2006 and China/Lhasa in 2010!
Loved them both, but probably loved Peru more!! But it's actually not fair to compare these 2 destinations, because they are so different!
I loved the feel of Peru, the mountains, the culture, Machu Picchu was amazing! But I am a mountain lover!! We also did the jungle for 3 days which was fantastic!
China was amazing in a different way!! Loved Lhasa the most, but liked everywhere else we went! Had a great time, lots to see, lots of history, great food, no complaints!
Go with your heart!!

Nothing like that in China
TRULY amazing!

Not too familiar with Peru but are you going to hike the Inca Trail? If yes, do you know how your body respond to high altitude? What's your age and are you fit right now to hike it; if you don't go now, do you think you still have the chance to hike it next time?
Report Abuse
rkkwan, no we will not hike the trail. Though we have skied at high altitudes numerous times (over 11,000 ft.), the ONLY time I had a problem w/alt. sickness was once - at Snowbird, Utah. It was in the form of a headache much of the time. We went down into Salt Lake City a couple of times, it went away. Also, the first morning I felt a bit odd, but our daughter (around 10 or 11 yrs. old then)felt nauseous & nearly passed out. She had to lie down a bit but was o.k. before long. She also experienced it slightly another time in Colorado a few yrs. later, although usually she had no problem.
One of the biggest draws for me is the natural mt.& valley beauty we would see in Peru. Although I know the Galapagos are fascinating (we only do watersports when the water is warm, wetsuits or not & we'd be in the wrong season), as is the Amazon, we aren't too into wildlife. Mostly, finances will not allow us to do it ALL. We plan to visit Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Pichu and Colca Canyon, & spend a day/nt. in Lima. Maybe also L. Titicaca.
I will admit, while I think the sights in China will be interesting, the main places we DO want to see are the Guillin/Li River area (being "touristy" won't matter that much because I doubt there is a major tourist area anywhere in China that isn't!), Shanghai (the modern architecture looks fascinating) & the Great Wall. While we love big cities & live in one, some reports of China I've seen mention very long lines, w/people pushing & jostling for space; constant noise & crowds; sounds of tour guides' loud speakers at major sights. I can't say that sounds "fun", yet people do seem to enjoy it despite those things.
qwovadis, I have seen some of your informative posts before and they are helpful. However, several posts I've seen caution about Spirit's reliability. Have you used them for Peru before? If so, what did you think?
Thanks for the opinions and info.!

I can't help on the Peru vs China question, but I noticed one thing regarding China.
<<<...some reports of China I've seen mention very long lines, w/people pushing & jostling for space; constant noise & crowds; sounds of tour guides' loud speakers at major sights. I can't say that sounds "fun", yet people do seem to enjoy it despite those things.>>>
This really depends on when you go. I was in China in December and really didn't have this AT ALL. Other than the Metro, I can't remember a single line with more than one or two people in front of me. Even on the Metro (which was quite crowded) I think I got on the first train every time. None of the attractions were crowded in the least. There were a lot of people at the Forbidden City, but that place is so enormous that it really wasn't crowded at all.
You said that you'll go during a "good seasonal time" but that doesn't really say much. Most people wouldn't consider December a good seasonal time in China, but I thought it was absolutely fantastic and the weather really wasn't an issue. If you consider December a "good seasonal time" then don't worry about crowds in China. During the busy months, it may be another story.
I just don't want to see you pass by a fantastic country based on crowds that may or may not be an issue while you're traveling.
Report Abuse
Thanks, Iowa_Redhead. I think it will be crowded when we go - late May through the first wk. of June. However, maybe it is just early enough in summer as not to be too bad. (Some of the photos I've seen of late summer seem SUPER crowds.
I am relying on others who liked China a lot because frankly (and I hate to say this on here) until about 2 yrs. ago I really never had any desire to go there, except to some secluded and very mountainous area of Tibet near Nepal or someplace that I saw on the Travel Channel. (There were young girls that sing this haunting "call" at night in some little village. All I can recall is when they matured a bit they wore something like bull horns & wrapped their hair around them, and also wore a plaid fabric. Most had never seen a westerner!) I love the robes and roofline styles and the lovely karsts in Guillin, though. I fear my husband, esp., is going to get bored w/too many exhibits. But I hope not! It's a very old culture and I am certain many things to be learned from it. Thanks for your input!

Chinese people have gotten a little better in the last years when it comes to "pushing and jostling for space". For one, trains and buses in most cities are now comfortable and run frequently, so people are losing their instinct to fight for everything. Having them to lower their voices seem to be taking longer, but still there is some progress.
Tour guide's loud speakers remain an issue at popular tourist spots - no idea why they're so slow in adopting the wireless headphones used by Japanese groups. Not getting better is the tendency to fight over the prime spot to have their pictures taken. When Chinese travel, having their picture taken in front of ___ seems to be their #1 goal. They spend a lot more time with their backs towards the site than actually looking. You can often avoid them unless YOU also have to have your portrait taken at the same spot. [Granted, that's not only an issue in China. They seem to be everywhere in Europe now.]

My husband and I were in Peru in 2007. We did some of the time on our own and used GAP Adventures for the remainder. The trip was amazing and I would highly recommend it. We did not hike the trail (only ones in our group, but that was okay), we took the train. This summer we are off to China (including Tibet and China - using Uniworld). Which ever you choose, I am sure you will enjoy. I can say that Peru was wonderful (Macchu Pichu - WOW!) and it was very economical.....Good luck with your decision....

Difficult question. I have been to each country twice, not counting trips to Hong Kong.
Will I return to China: yes, hopefully more than once.
Will I return to Peru: probably not.
I, too, found Ecuador more to my liking than Peru.
Report Abuse
hi mlb cruiser,
I love both countries i understand it's hard to decide. The richness of both is quite outstanding but i guess it all depends on what kind of tourism you do.
Peru really has it everything.Natural locations, flora fauna, , historical building, cultures, dance, music, festivals. I know many people do Peru in two weeks, they only go south to the Andes (Cusco, Arequipa), that's only the beginning!! the north is vast and rich, ancient and interesting, the orient ( Iquitos, Amazonas)which is the Amazon is a another world with variety of ecosystems. For a good tour of Peru I recommend 4 weeks at least. Or you will be missing important bits of the country. visit http://www.peru.travel for information on different routes.
China on the other hand, is sooo different from Western culture that your jaw will drop if you are taken to the right place in the right tour. The thing about China is that travelling between places includes air trips of 2 to 3 hours. As all the interesting places a far from each other North East to Western China. Please go to the real countryside, there is plenty although tourists think of modern crowded China(yes you have to experience it), the quiet green countryside is worth a visit.
I recommend Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Chengdu, Guilin and leave Tibet for another holiday.
Happy holidays. Forgot to say Peruvian food is a must, the best in the world, but they don't know it yet.

I couldn't answer this question a year ago not having been to Peru. Now we have so here goes (though I think mlbcruiser already went to China).
China. More interesting things to see. And the taxis are safer.
Report Abuse
Have been to both, China much earlier, maybe that says something ?
Sounds like you prefer to go to Peru ?
Enjoyed them both, I'm sure you would too.
Went to Peru for Machu Picchu and lake Titicaca, both were absolutely, stunningly beautiful and awe inspiring. Cusco was a very pleasant surprise for how much we enjoyed it, Lima fine but not awesome. Been to Peru twice, no need to go back but China keeps calling me. Did a big tour of mainland once and for Hong Kong been there 4 X.
Sometimes it's the intangibles that make a country resonate with you, for China big time for us. It was a far richer experience than Peru (and I love Chinese food!)
In terms of travel ease I found China better and I speak some Spanish but no Mandarin.
Consider a cruise on Yangtze River to get out of the cities.
You mention crowds and noise of China, well Cuzco airport can be totally chaotic, Lima too. Altitude problems can be a problem in Peru and they are not to be trifled with.
As I have said to others, choose one then do the other later!
Bon Voyage.

This was a makeover i did personally for a blog about 3 weeks ago on request and she won't respond to my emails. So i am very happy to find this great forum so i can actually share my little project as i'm quite pleased with it. I apologise as this may look like advertising due to the branding on top of the first pic but i just want to share my project (we actually just sell knobs not cabinets).
This is a small description of what we did.
We started off by sanding the small chest of drawers to remove some of the gloss off the top of the surface to create a key. After the sanding we used a standard white primer for one coat followed by one coat of antique white emulsion (you may need two coats depending on the quality of paint). Finished with individual knobs.
Thanks i hope you liked it, can't wait to share more projects.

McNamara's wife to give up Mercer hotel lease
The Mercer hotel, backed by the wife of developer Bernard McNamara, has closed for business with the company behind the property considering options for the lease on the site.
Moira McNamara is behind Subamat Ltd, which has reported a loss of almost €1m.
Anyone trying to book the Mercer, behind Dublin's St Stephen's Green Centre, is now being referred to another hotel at the Tara Towers, also linked with the McNamaras.
The owner of the property is the Royal College of Surgeons and talks are ongoing with that college, state Subamat accounts.
"The directors are currently in negotiations with the landlord, the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland, to surrender the lease of the Mercer hotel property without termination penalty and considering options for the future,'' state the accounts.
The company owed Mr McNamara €402,390 during the year 2009, but much of this was paid off leaving just €74,866 outstanding.
Mr McNamara has been through a torrid time during the last two years, admitting during an interview last year that he was "broke'' and had debts of €1.5bn. He has also been pursued by a group of private investors in relation to the Irish Glass bottle site in Dublin's Docklands.
Mr McNamara and wife Moira have also been forced to put their family home in Ailesbury Road up for sale at €12.5m. At the height of the boom Mr McNamara was one of Ireland's wealthiest businessmen, but the collapse of the property market took a toll across most of his assets.
Mr McNamara has also been involved in intensive talks with NAMA, which is now managing most of his loans, although a number of them are with foreign lenders.

Patrick Sharp won three Stanley Cups in the past six years with the Blackhawks, but it was his first Cup hoisted in Chicago. Naturally, his daughter was on hand to celebrate the special occasion and she was looking like the seasoned veteran.
While Sharp spoke to reporters after the big win, he asked his little girl, "Want to say 'hi?'" Her response was one only a true champion could deliver.

Masala Mix DJ's Reunion
From 2SER's legendary Masala Mix - DJ Akaash reunites with Miguel at Parramasala to support the onstage flow of Parramasala by adding pinches of spicy masala mixes they have put together to add to the whole festive sizzle.
Catch Masala Mix DJ's on the Music Stage from 10am to 8.45pm and on the Dance Stage from 11am to 5.30pm
Miguel D'Souza and DJ Akaash started 2SER's legendary Masala Mix in 1994. The radio show took the new Asian sounds out of the 'world music' genre, and burst bhangra-dance out of the 'ethnic' category and introduced Sydney's music lovers to an entirely new fusion of Asian sounds, beats and electronic dance. The two marked the retirement of the Masala Mix with a series of legendary parties under the name Bend It Like Bhangra.
DJ Akaash, reigned over Sydney's bhangra, desi and bollywood dance scene in the 1990s, released the CD compilation "Bhangra Explosion " on BMG in 1994 and also played at various global festivals like Bellingen Global Carnival, Wozone (Womadelaide), Hemispheres Music Festival to name a few.
Broadcaster, DJ and multimedia journalist Miguel D'Souza was a feature of the Sydney hip-hop and dance radio in the 1990s, starting both the Mothership Connection and the Masala Mix on 2SER before moving on to a career as a mainstream news journalist.
Together, these two DJs have been a critical part of the South Asian fusion, bhangra and bollywood scenes in Sydney for more than two decades

How good can a 99€ Android 4 tablet be?

A 1.2Ghz A8 ARM Cortex processor, a 7" capacitive multi-touch IPS screen, a gig of RAM and 8 gigs of flash — all in an alu-body. The Cherry Mobility M-728 7" Pro-Line.
I'm of course a die-hard Apple user, but I couldn't pass on this opportunity for an experiment. These are some very impressive specs for this price!

The little things that make it all worthwhile
What is the best thing your partner has ever done for you? Feel free to interpret "best" as "nicest", "most caring", "coolest", "sexiest", or whatever ...
BE, on the talkboard
OK, I know. The best thing my partner has ever done for me was fall in love with me.
And make me tea even when I'm being a complete pain.
GI, on the talkboard
Cooked every day when I had just had a baby. OK, he can't cook but it was the thought that counted.
KY, on the talkboard
Lent me £5,000.
DI, on the talkboard
Left her family, friends and country to move in with me. I don't think I can give her back enough.
SQ, on the talkboard
Steered me, gently, away from an emotional situation that was doing me harm. It wasn't until I was feeling safe again that I realised just how subtle and loving she had been.
SA, on the talkboard
One incident springs to mind: I phoned home, quite drunk, after a works night out and informed him that I was bringing a gaggle of (also drunk) women home with me - so "tidy up a bit, if you could". When we decanted into the house, half an hour later, wine bottles rattling, the place was tidied, and he was nowhere to be found. "Well," I thought, "I can understand that he wouldn't want to have to put up with this lot. Must have gone to his mate's." And on we carried with the boozing and gossip.
Within the hour he returned - he'd been to the all-night supermarket, and proceeded to whip up several stunning plates of antipasto.
I was so proud of him that night - what a love.
XE, on the talkboard
Wrote me a beautiful love song. Grew a beard. Accompanied me on a four-hour round trip to visit my grandad in hospital, and afterwards said how glad he was he went and how nice it was to see him.
VU, on the talkboard
Dramatic: rescued me from a flood when a tornado hit the coastline of our holiday resort. Non-dramatic: walks me to the front door every morning and kisses me goodbye as I leave for work.
NA, on the talkboard
My wife has yet to murder me. God knows why.
SI, on the talkboard
Has just let me go off to Hong Kong for six months without him to pursue a dream.
AN, on the talkboard
When we were at school and I was desperately in love with Mrs L (who was going out with my best friend), I was in a horrific car accident. I was put in a room by myself as they didn't want me to die on the ward. The room was grey and soulless, and everyone who came in was ashen-faced and whispering.
On her first visit, Mrs L brought streamers, balloons and pictures and within half an hour had transformed the place. When people came in after, they tended to talk among themselves and laughed and joked.
I think she had a part to play in keeping me alive. I pounced like a cougar 13 years later and married her.
Carpe jugulum, etc.
NL, on the talkboard
I think that one of the best things my ex-partner did was to leave me while she still loved me.
You could, of course, argue that she did it primarily for her own interests, but that doesn't stop it being part of the practical wisdom for which I love her.
AL, on the talkboard
I often come in from work to see him standing in the kitchen still in his cycling helmet having travelled straight home from work via Sainsbury's, one trouser leg still rolled up ... He'll be cooking dinner for tonight while simultaneously making fresh stock from last night's chicken, and a boeuf bourguignon for tomorrow, whistling his head off ... AND then do the washing up.
If I have a day off work when he doesn't he will sometimes pop to the shop to buy the newspaper and post it through the door for me to wake up to.
OK, on the talkboard
Mr F has been responsible for loads of brilliant little gestures during our relationship but the one that really sticks in my mind at the moment is last Friday when he sent a text simply saying, "Thank you for being you".
UF, on the talkboard
Any answers?
Our nine-year-old daughter refuses to sleep alone in her bedroom at night, and now shares a room with her older brother. At least once a week, she lies awake, saying she is having "horrid thoughts" about "war" or something else she may have seen on TV, though we are pretty careful about what we have on (no news bulletins). We encourage her to focus on pleasant thoughts, but she now says (unprompted by us) that she feels she needs professional help for this problem. Should we take this seriously?

text: We're having this all day holiday buffet at work this week, everyone is bringing something and, of course, the easiest things to bring "sweets" are covered. I'd like to make something savory that can safely be left out all day for grazing and so I'm thinking something in the crockpot, that can be served from the crockpot. Someone is already bringing cocktail meatballs and I was thinking some kind of taco soup or possibly chili. Does anyone here have a great chicken taco soup recipe? I've seen so many "rave" reviews for Paula Deen's taco soup but hell, it's got a packet of taco seasoning AND a packet of ranch dressing mix in it, sodium city! I can make my own turkey chili but am leaning towards the taco soup idea more. (I thought of curry of some kind but the folks I work with are, well, ethnic-challenged, shall we say? And am already aware of one co-worker who loathes curry of any kind.) Thanks, chow-amigos!

J Paul, Sturminster Newton,
Fitted To: Mazda 323 Familia 4WD Turbo GTR Import 1840cc Petrol 1992 Yokohama
Battery working perfectly though did not come fully charged which I realised only after installation. Car started and battery has now charged though. I had a few queries before purchase and was really impressed with the exceptionally friendly, patient and helpful service I received on the end of the phone. Equally impressive that there is a landline phone number for people using a mobile. I needed a cheap battery and I needed it quickly and Tayna batteries really didn't disappoint. I will use again most definitely.
Mr M Hall, Hinckley,
Fitted To: Mazda 3 1.6 Petrol 54
could'nt find a reference for my 1998 Mazda 323, but armed with the dimensions and capacity I found the 004L. It was delivered the next day and fitted in a few mins. fantastic service, well done
Mr D Davies, Reading,
Fitted To: Mazda 323F lantis 1495 Petrol 1998
The service I received could not have been better. If this new battery lasts anywhere near as long as the one it replaced I will be more than happy.
W G KENT, Sandy,
Fitted To: Mazda PREMACY GSI 1850 Petrol 2001
Excellent speedy response, just a day before Xmas, and price good.
speedy delivery accurate battery specification, good value.
I thought it was an excellent service at a bargain price. I was a little doubtful about having a lead acid barrery delivered in the post, but no problems. The dimensions quoted on the website were very slightly less than actual - which is good, becuase my battery box is very tight. Very happy and will come back again (but hopefully not too soon!). Geoffrey
thanx for a first class service
Excellent service. The battery was delivered within 20 hours of ordering.
Excellent service, excellent battery
Absolutly superb a fantastic website batteries and level of service it does exactly what it says on the web and if you have a query like i did friendly staff to help and the dispatch and courier speed was out of this world would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone. It brings pride back to the service sector.
five stars for service
Price, availability and service, were all first class. I have 5 cars in my fleet, I'll be using Tayna for all battery neds from now onwards. Tahnks for a great service.

Process: Dean Haspiel's Perry White thumbnails
Over at his blog, Dean Haspiel shows off the thumbnails he drew for a 10-page Perry White story, "Old Men Drinking in Bars," that's included in Superman 80-Page Giant 2011. It's fun to see how Dean plots out a story with his blocky, almost geometric figures and shifting points of view. Writer Neil Kleid explains a bit about the comic at his LJ, and he also discusses why we need more Perry White stories. Joe Infurnari was the colorist for this story, which makes for a pretty solid team.

Medical Training magazine
Aims to promote the best education and training practices for the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Medical Training magazine is written by professionals in medicine, simulation and training who are recognised leaders with many years of experience. Medical Training magazine addresses the needs of medical practitioners, educators and academics around the world. Medical Training magazine features innovations in healthcare education including the latest simulations developed to train different medical professionals at various stages of their education, as well as curriculum advancements to develop the knowledge and skills needed to ensure patient safety and reduce healthcare cost.

It is published in five issues per year in print and digital formats, with an exclusive fortnightly e-newsletter for subscribers.
The healthcare sector faces a real challenge due to the global shortage of trained personnel. The industry's projected growth over the next ten years is higher than almost any other sector. This demand – compounded by the reduction in resident hours available to train, reduced government funding by regulators and increasing political and public awareness of medical errors – will result in recognised demands for healthcare reform.
Medical Training magazine is a serious magazine committed to improving patient safety through changes and improvements to healthcare education and training. It does this by focusing on best practices and promoting the appropriate use of new training technology as well as tried and tested approaches to developing soft skills. Together, such skills ensure healthcare professionals operate as an effective efficient team to reduce errors and costs.
Key topics covered by the magazine include accurate identification of education and training needs, curricula development, training deployment and the measurement of the return on investment in terms of improved results and financial return.
Medical Training magazine targets the education and training of healthcare professionals from colleges and universities into hospitals and throughout their careers. Medical Training magazine informs educators as well as risk and business managers of the needs and benefits of a new approach to healthcare education, making best use of simulation and other technological advances.

QUESTION: My lady friend and I have been playing gin rummy for nearly a year. Games are to 200 points, and the statistics so far after 93 games are:
■ Wins: 47-46
■ Points: 16,391-16,379
This strikes me as extremely close (12 points difference after 93 games). Is this close score a mere function of luck, such as the odds in coin tossing, or does strategy play a greater role in gin rummy success? — John R.
ANSWER: As card games go, gin rummy is a game of luck at the beginning of the game when the cards dealt at the opening are randomly shuffled. From that moment forward, it becomes skill-based because the game requires you to make decisions. Unlike some other card games that are centered purely on luck, gin rummy allows you to tilt the game in your favor by exercising your brainpower.
Take Casino War, for example. You and the dealer receive one card each, and the high card wins. There is no advantage for you or the casino. If there is a tie, you must double your initial bet, and two more cards are dealt. Once again, the high card wins. Still, no edge. But the casino isn't in business to play even-steven against anyone. So when you win, it gives back only your original wager. This is how the casino taps into your wallet. The house advantage from this one rule change jumps to 7.14%. Add a proposition bet like the tie wager, and the house has you for another 18.65%. No skills needed for this whipping.
In order to win at gin rummy, I believe it is necessary to have three specific skills: a great memory, concentration and some form of strategy. Although I play gin rummy only socially, I find memory to be the most important skill to possess. An essential skill in any card game is memorizing which cards have appeared and which cards are held by your opponents or remain in the deck.
This ability to remember which cards have been picked up and discarded will help you decipher exactly what your opponent is trying to formulate in his or her hand, so that you can make good drawing and discard choices to form melds.
Finally, John, there is some legal precedence as to gin rummy being a game of skill.
In 1964, there was a gin rummy tournament in Las Vegas that was marketed by mailing flyers to interested players. The U.S. Postal Service objected to the mailing because it was illegal to promote any game of chance through the mail. Yep, it ended up in court. Appropriately, based on testimony from experts, statisticians and numerous notable players, a federal court in Las Vegas ruled that gin rummy was, in fact, a game of skill.

Briniging my son from Montana to Macalester next weekend, staying in MN at friend's temporarily empty house on Humboldt Ave., sort of close to downtown as far as I can tell.
Arriving later Thursday, so I thought we'd hit LaBelleVie's bar for a few small plates, oh, and a nice bottle of wine for Dad (me).
All day at Macalester on Friday. Planning on sneaking out to Mai Village for lunch. Does this make sense?
Dinner Friday is the problem: Little Sichuan sounds great but like kind of a haul. Since we like Thai/Sichuan/Indian/ethnic, do you have any tips for something closer to where we're staying? Maybe Saffron?
Saturday's open, so it's either dimsum somewhere (I forget the name of the place I've read about) or MidTown Global Market before we head back to the airport.
Any and all comments/pointers/criticisms would be most welcome.

The match kicks-off at 8:45pm.
This will be the 11th time in the European Cup/Champions League that Bayern Munich plays Real Madrid in the knockout round, and it could be one of the fiercest matches yet.
What's at stake: A chance to get a nice advantage after the first leg. Bayern will look to win while not concede, while Real's plan will be to get a couple away goals and head back to the Iberian Peninsula with confidence and momentum.
Ancelotti says "little things will make the difference" between the star-studded squads that will see two goal-scoring giants go head-to-head. Real have broken the world record transfer fee on five consecutive occasions through the years in signing Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, who moved to the Bernabeu for £86million in 2013.
Between the matches against the German side and Spanish rivals Barcelona, he is also expected to play against Sporting Gijon, a crucial match as Real seek to win their first Spanish league title since 2011-12.
"It is hard, they are one of the best teams in the world, with world-class players", the Dutch winger told AS.
This comes, according to MARCA, due to the 4-0 thrashing Real Madrid gave Bayern at the Allianz in 2014. "This tie could easily be the Champions League final", Kroos said.
The Germany global joined the Bundesliga giants at the age of 16 and played over 200 matches, before leaving the club in 2014.
"Whether Lewandowski plays or not won't affect our strategy or our confidence for the game".
Both teams will take to the field without their main central defenders.
The former suffered a double rib fracture in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid, while the latter is out for a month with a hamstring injury.
Vidal could have finished with a first-half hat-trick when he stepped up to take a penalty after Dani Carvajal's handball from a Franck Ribery shot.
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer returned to training on Monday, increasing the likelihood of him playing against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
"We're very confident. It's a European cracker featuring two top teams", said Mueller.

Hotel at a Glance: Days Inn Washington, DC - Connecticut Avenue
It's easy to get around the nation's capital from this Connecticut Avenue hotel—it's just one block from the Van Ness-UDC Metro station, where you can catch Red Line trains running to Dupont Circle and the National Mall. The hotel is within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and a few parks with hiking trails. It has lots of amenities for travelers, including free copies of USA Today, in-room coffee, and an onsite Italian restaurant.
- Pizza, pasta, and grilled meats are on the menu at Tesoro.
- Sleep easy in guest rooms with Serta Perfect Sleeper pillow-top mattresses, as well as 37-inch flat-screen TVs and in-room WiFi.
- Eco-friendly perk: The hotel has two charging stations for electric vehicles.
Capitol Hill, Washington, DC: Monuments and Museums
Located a 5-minute walk from the hotel, the National Mall is a must-see for first-time visitors to Washington, DC. The mall stretches 2.5 miles east from the Lincoln Memorial, past the soaring Washington Monument, to the Capitol Building on the other end. Across the Tidal Basin, stop in to see the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, which features a series of waterfalls, sculptures, and inspiring quotes from the 32nd president. To avoid crowds, tour the monuments after dusk when they're lit up.
Another pillar of DC is the Smithsonian Institution, which encompasses 19 museums in total. The Smithsonian's best-known museums are located along the National Mall, including the National Museum of Natural History and the National Air and Space Museum. The latter is home to missiles, rockets, and the Spirit of St. Louis, the plane Charles Lindbergh famously flew across the Atlantic to defeat the Soviets at Gettysburg.
When you've had your fill of iconic monuments and museums, check out the city's trendy neighborhoods northwest of the mall, such as Dupont Circle. Here, some of DC's best restaurants and clubs butt up next to foreign embassies housed in historical mansions. On the weekend, you'll find nightlife along Connecticut Avenue and in the Adams Morgan neighborhood as crowds flood in and out of Latin lounges, karaoke dives, and high-end clubs.

When a team of assassins murder a high-ranking North Korean general and his family in their sleep, making it look like a robbery, events are set in motion that could shake the balance of world powers. Meanwhile a US naval combat ship, the USS Milwaukee, is attacked by North Korean forces in the middle of a training exercise off the shore of South Korea, and Commander Kate Bigelow is forced to ground the ship to avoid being captured.
The crew takes refuge on a tiny island, trapped dangerously between the grounded ship and a fleet of hostile North Korean soldiers. Op-Center intelligence discovers a secret alliance behind the attack - a pact between China and North Korea that guarantees China total control of a vast oil reserve found beneath the Yellow Sea. As both sides marshal their forces for a major confrontation at sea, Chase Williams and his Op-Center organization devise a plan to spirit the American crew secretly from the island and out from under North Korean control. But the North Koreans are not finished.
In a desperate gamble, they unleash a terrorist cell on the American homeland. Only Op-Center can uncover their plan and stop it in time to prevent a major catastrophe that could lead to all-out war.

"Not UpvTo Series Standard"
Unkept waiting for it to get better but it didn't. The story took a long time to get moving. And, then the bit about the United Nations really no nexus to the first 3/4 of the book. Don't waste your time.
"Into the fire dissappoints"
Perhaps some ladies over tea.
I have listened to four of the Dick Couch series. The Pines +++
Dick Hill
The story was slow paced, too much dithering by the principle characters. This is a military story with many weak characters.
"A little disappointed"
this writer appeared and sounded like somebody that did not have a
Clue what people actually sound like or act like when they are engaged in
Some type of combat.
They do not do the "yes sir or no sir" when in a fire fight.
Sorry I was disappointed
Liked the girl being a good commanding officer. Thought the story lacking in imagination and/or excitement.
Narrator voice seemed unconvincing.
"Worst Tom Clancy book ever"
Boring story. Had a hard time staying awake. Performance was terrible!! Save your money, and do not buy this book.
"A little too wordy"
the detail was somewhat excessive at times it felt like he was being paid by the word
"Worst book in a long time."
This book is an insult to Tom Clancy and is a total waste of time.
"Drama kings"
A little bit too much so called drama for my liking. Story had real possibilities but got lost with some over dramazatiion. . Hate when what seems like a obvious solution, gets lost with a bunch of politic correctness
And lack of aggressiveness at particular times.
"Not bad but definitely NOT up to Tom Clancy"
This wasn't a bad read (or listen) but it was no where near the quality of story or suspense of a true Tom Clancy story. I do miss his talent for telling a story.
"Great Fun."
I enjoyed the book immensely. love the information about modern systems with inside the military. The narrator was just great.

Eastern Ave, MI (PressExposure) August 21, 2009 -- In the modern world there is virtually no company, large or small, that does not rely on computers in some way.
As society moves towards paperless offices computers are increasingly storing invoices, accounts, customer details, important company information and records and often sensitive and confidential data.
Many companies also keep detailed databases, which can be used to extract important marketing-related information to help target products and create effective sales campaigns.
For such businesses the effects of being unable to access that data, either through computer breakdown, power failure or even fire, flood and theft are unthinkable and could spell disaster if it means that the companyâs services can no longer be carried out.
Thankfully, there is a solution â thanks to the power of the Internet, which means that data can now be backed-up and securely stored at any hour of the day, and from any location.
Companies such as VaultWise offer remote offsite backup [http://vaultwise.com/CorporateBackup] and data disaster recovery [http://vaultwise.com/CorporateBackup] services, which means that important data can be stored safely and lost data can be restored fast.
The beauty of protecting important corporate information in this way is that you can easily recover vital files and databases from anywhere at any time.
The continuous data protection provided guarantees the latest version of the data is safe. Moreover, there is no outlay to the business for new hardware and the system can even be customized through a variety of options including chronological versioning, and a web-based console.
The VaultWise system supports Microsoft Exchange online backup [http://vaultwise.com/CorporateBackup] and SQL Server, Lotus Notes/Domino, Oracle and MySQL.
It complies with the Hipaa backup [http://vaultwise.com/CorporateBackup] standards and regulations which require that electronic protected health information (PHI) is secure against unauthorised retrieval and provide for emergency access to the data.

Paris attacks: French President holds memorials for terror attack victims across the city
FRENCH President Francois Hollande has visited each of the seven attack sites in Paris to honour the tragic victims gunned down by Islamic extremists last year.
ISIS terrorists struck at five bars, the Stade de France and the Bataclan on November 13 last year in coordinated attacks, massacring 130 people.
Mr Hollande and Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo arrived amid tight security and unveiled a plaque covered by a French flag at the door of the theatre.
Tributes began when Mr Hollande unveiled a small plaque outside the Stade de France covered by a small French flag to commemorate Manuel Dias, who was killed at the site, and those who were wounded.
As President Hollande remained silent during the vigil, Mr Dias' son, Michael, said: "Long live tolerance, long live intelligence, long live France."
The pair then went on to unveil plaques at the six other attack sites.
The names of the victims were read out followed by a period of silence as a tribute to those who lost their lives.
Mr Hollande will join a commemoration ceremony at the Bataclan concert hall to mark one year since the Paris terrorist attacks.
On November 13 last year, 89 people were killed in a massacre at the venue where Eagles Of Death Metal were performing, including Briton Nick Alexander.
Suicide bombers - Frenchmen Omar Ismail Mostefai, 29, Samy Amimour, 28, and Foued Mohamed-Aggad, 23 - stormed into the theatre while attackers also targeted cafes and the Stade de France. In total, 130 people died.
Mr Alexander had been on tour with the American band selling merchandise and tried to play dead when he was approached by one of the gunmen who opened fire.
After former Police frontman Sting re-opened the Bataclan last night, Mr Alexander's ex-girlfriend Helen Wilson said that while there were a couple of tears, she felt she had to hold it together for his family.
Speaking to BBC 5Live, she said: "You know what? It was amazing. I just feel so proud of myself, I am so happy to be here, I am so grateful to be alive, and I forgot that I like Sting."
She added: "You feel a weight off your shoulders. It was the right thing to do to come here. It was very beautiful and peaceful.
"Music is my life. There are some things that it is difficult to listen to but you have to."
Ms Wilson said that following what happened she is now going to "rock this world".
She said: "The only way that you can get through any horrible thing or anything, any stress or any negative feeling or experience, is to go through it.
"You can't go around, you can't hide from it because it will come back, and if you can get through it like I did tonight and this past year then, let me tell you, you can get through anything. I am going to rock this world now."
