Treatment and prevention of flea infestations for 3 months and treatment and control of paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) for 4 months
BRAVECTO Chewable Tablets provide
- Treatment and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides felis) infestations for 3 months
- Treatment and control of paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) for 4 months
- Treatment and control of brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) for 8 weeks
- Rapid onset of action kills newly emerged adult fleas before they lay eggs
- Reduces incidence of flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) by controlling adult fleas
- Highly palatable so easy to administer
BRAVECTO contains fluralaner, a member of the antiparasitic class of isoxazoline-substituted benzamide derivatives. Fluralaner acts antagonistically on arthropods ligand-gated chloride channels (GABA-receptor and glutamate-receptor).
BRAVECTO is effective against fipronil-resistant strains of fleas.
BRAVECTO can be used in breeding, pregnant and lactating dogs.
BRAVECTO provides effective control of pre-existing infestations of paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus) within 24 hours.
BRAVECTO provides effective control of fleas on dogs within 8 hours of administration, and subsequently maintains persistent efficacy against flea re-infestations for 3 months following administration.
The flea life cycle can be broken by the rapid onset of action and the long-lasting efficacy against adult fleas on the dog. Newly emerged adult fleas on a dog are killed before viable eggs are produced.
BRAVECTO can be used as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Ixodes holocyclus ticks do not occur in Western Australia.
In tick season daily searching for and removal of any ticks found is recommended.
Precautions: BRAVECTO should not be used in puppies less than 8 weeks of age or weighing less than 2 kg.
Dosage and Administration: BRAVECTO is available in five sizes. Within each weight range, a whole tablet must be used. For dogs weighing more than 56 kg, use a combination of two tablets that most closely matches the bodyweight.
In dogs older than 8 weeks, treatment every 8 weeks has been shown to be well tolerated. Administer BRAVECTO at or around the time of feeding. BRAVECTO is readily consumed by most dogs when given by the owner. BRAVECTO can also be given with food or administered in the same way as other tablets. BRAVECTO chewable tablets can be used year round.

We are extremely connected to our internet and mobile devices which is very disruptive to our sleep habits. Ms. Schwittay says sleep hygiene is one of the most important things we can practice.
- Give yourself 1 hour of unplugged rest and relaxation before bedtime.
- Set up a routine. Wake up and go to bed at specific times regardless if you have things to do.
- Avoid stimulants. Do not consume alcohol or caffeine 1-2 hours before resting.
- Get comfortable. Have a comfortable mattress and pillows.
- Stay cool. Make sure your room is a nice cool temperature.

|The Star of Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus,
and the Magi portrayed in the Kwoma visual language
Merry Christmas to all!
Check out this article about Wycliffe Australia member Peter Brook and his ethno arts research among the Kwoma people of Papua New Guinea. Using photography and video Peter documents local artistic expressions, seeking to better understand world views, cultures and cultural art forms.
The article briefly explains the importance of cultural art forms and the challenge to preserve and adapt them in an increasingly globalized world. It also defines what an Arts Specialist is, and how one's research can be used to benefit indigenous societies and the church.
|Genesis 1:20-25
God created living creatures on land, in the air and the sea.
Peter's research has resulted in some new indigenous Christian visual art!
In November 2010 Peter met Nanias, an artist working on the north west coast on Papua New Guinea... About halfway through 2011 Peter set Nanias the challenge of painting stories from the Bible using traditional designs and images of his clan. The result was a beautiful set of paintings of the Genesis creation account and the beginning of a series on the Life of Christ. Nanias was transformed as he read the scriptures to accurately translate these stories into the Kwoma visual language.
In April and October 2012 Peter went out with Nanias to his village to document their arts and culture. When the villagers saw the new "Biblical" paintings their enthusiastic response was "These are ours!"
I hope to find out more about how these images will be used by Peter and Wycliffe for the furthering of the Gospel in Papua New Guinea. In the meantime, check out this short promotional video about ethnoarts work in Papua New Guinea:

Cimarron bridge plan: all at once
Based on a consensus of Colorado Springs City Council Aug. 27, City Public Works will move forward in mid-October with a plan to shut down the deteriorating
Cimarron Street bridge over Conejos Street and the railroad tracks, then start building a new one.
The timing depends on completion of the new Bijou Street interchange at I-25 in early October, as pledged by Rockrimmon Constructors, the contractor on the COSMIX interstate-widening project. If so, the city anticipation is for a project that could be done by March.
"Come back to us at the first October meeting," Mayor Lionel Rivera instructed City Engineer Cam McNair. "Give us a presentation on how the the [detour] routes are going to work and what the signage is going to look like."
During the discussion, McNair told council he had "good news" - that the bridge could be built within the allowed budget. He based this report on the construction bids that have been submitted by private contractors. "We're still reviewing them," he said. "We will bring the best value bid forward."
Afterward, Mary Scott of City Public Communications elaborated that a contractor will be selected "by Sept. 12 and will then conduct negotiations to finalize the cost and schedule."
The city has budgeted $8.5 million for the project, with $2 million already spent on the south demolition, design and other pre-construction activities, she said.
Part of the council discussion involved ways to remind motorists about the business areas located near the closed bridge. "An extensive signage plan will be developed to assist impacted businesses throughout construction," Scott said.
The city began leaning toward the all-at-once plan in response to safety concerns - McNair expressed concern that the bridge deck might not make it through another winter of repeated freeze-thaw cycles - and findings that the work could be done faster (by six weeks) and cheaper (by $500,000) that way. Also, unofficial surveys in the last half of August had shown area business support for doing it all at once.
McNair revealed a new safety concern at the Aug. 27 meeting. Photos from underneath indicated possible water seeping through the deck, "and that's not good," he said.
The previous replacement plan had been to build one side and then the other. A start on that strategy was made earlier this year when the bridge's south side was torn down, leaving the north to carry one lane of traffic each way.

"See the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you."
Isaiah 42:9
But, God reminds me, He reminds YOU, again and again that those things are over, and new things are coming. Even before they happen we can have HOPE because we have been promised that they will take place. There is good to come, and we know the end of the story. Maybe not this present story, but the big one, the one that matters.
I know that God wins, that good will overcome. It gives me peace when I think about raising this baby girl, Sarah Lynn Mercy. That even though she will experience pain in life, I can speak this truth into her life...God wins, love does overcome and we will have rest.
I pray you receive God's peace, and His promise that new things are coming, even before they "spring into being" God has already announced them!

Stainless Steel Project Celebrates Arrival of Key Equipment in Shanghai
Shanghai Krupp Stainless heads for production start-up early 2002
Shanghai Krupp Stainless Co., Ltd. will start-up commercial operations with the beginning of 2002. The company is a Joint Venture between the ThyssenKrupp group company Krupp Thyssen Stainless GmbH, Duisburg, (60 %-shareholder) and the Baosteel group company Shanghai Pudong Iron & Steel (Group) Co., Ltd., Shanghai, (40 %-shareholder).
On 30 November 2000 Shanghai Krupp Stainless will celebrate the topping-out and the arrival of the key equipment. With the commencement of assembling the key equipment for the cold rolling mill the Joint Venture will enter into a decisive phase.
This occasion will be celebrated by the Project Company on November 30, 2000 on the construction site in Pudong in the presence of high ranking representatives of the City of Shanghai, of the Baosteel group and the ThyssenKrupp group, together with future customers, banks representatives, suppliers and construction workers from the site.
The Joint Venture was signed in a large ceremony in Beijing in December 1997 and was established with the constitution of the company in April 1998.
The investment volume for the total project, an integrated stainless steel plant for the production of stainless sheet and strip with the total capacity of 440,000 tonnes per year, amounts to 1.4 billion US$. The financing is supported by the World Bank Group branch International Finance Corporation and by Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau.
The completion of the project is scheduled for the end of the year 2006. The first phase with a production capacity of 72,000 tonnes per year of cold rolled stainless sheet and strip shall be completed by the end of the year 2001. The start-up of commercial production is scheduled for the beginning of the year 2002. According to today?s status of implementation this target will be met.
The Chinese market for stainless steel flat products is very attractive. The volume has increased to 1.5 million tonnes per year, with further on strong growth rates. Although the domestic stainless steel flat production has also increased, almost 80 % of the domestic demand is still covered by imports. With this background the planned stainless steel plant has the best perspectives.
Krupp Thyssen Stainless is the leading group company of the business segment stainless in the ThyssenKrupp group. The company coordinates the international activities of the stainless branch. The German based Krupp Thyssen Nirosta GmbH, Krefeld, the Italian Acciai Speciali Terni spa, Terni, the Mexican Mexinox S.A. de C.V., San Luis Potosi, and Krupp VDM GmbH, Werdohl, producer of nickel base alloys at locations in Germany and USA, have generated with their nearly 12.000 employees sales of 4.3 billion Euro with shipments of about 2 million tonnes of stainless steel flat products (thereof 1.5 million tonnes cold rolled sheet and strip) and 0.5 million tonnes other special steel products. With this output Krupp Thyssen Stainless is the largest producer of stainless steel flat products worldwide and looks back as the oldest stainless steel producer worldwide to an experience of 88 years. With the Joint Venture Shanghai Krupp Stainless the ThyssenKrupp group further expands its position as the world?s leading stainless steel producer and intensifies the internationalisation of the business segment stainless into the large consumer regions of the world.
Shanghai Pudong Iron & Steel, founded in 1913, is, with a production capacity of 1.8 million tonnes of crude steel and 2 million tonnes of finished products, the largest manufacturer of alloyed and stainless steel middle and heavy plate and one of the largest steel producers in China. 12,000 employees generate in 10 production locations total sales of 5.5 billion RMB (660 million US$). Beyond the supply of the Chinese market the company also exports to the USA as well as to Canada, Japan, South Korea and South East Asia. Shanghai Pudong Iron & Steel is one of the main subsidiaries of the Baosteel group for steel production. It has accumulated plentiful experience and has taken an expansive market approach in alloyed and stainless steel products. It is also one of the most competitive steel manufacturers in China at present.
The ThyssenKrupp group has sustained a close relationship with China for more than 100 years. Already in 1870 the first representative office was opened in Beijing. For many years there has been a close and friendly relationship between Baosteel and the ThyssenKrupp group in the field of technical assistance.

We Live in a Chlorine Economy
We live in a chlorine economy. And, no, it's not all about vinyl.
Yes, vinyl is composed of two simple building blocks – one of which is chlorine (the other is ethylene, from natural gas). But chlorine, which is based on simple salt, is used in a very wide range of products far beyond those made of vinyl.
Chlorine is a key building block in everything from automotive components to firefighters' clothing. You can find chlorinated compounds in wetsuits (neoprene rubber from chloropropene). It's used for everything from water treatment to erasers (thio-chloride curing agents used in some rubbers).
These sectors depend on chlorine chemistry.
Health care, transportation, building and construction, defense and law enforcement, and the food and water sectors all rely on chlorine derivatives and chlorinated chemicals. Chlorine is versatile, and it plays well with other chemicals to create some pretty cool stuff.
In fact, did you know that chlorine chemistry plays a role in components for wind turbines and solar panels?
It's also part of the chemistry in aerospace components and high-precision lasers and environmentally friendly coolants.
All these products rely on chlorine chemistry and the multitude of chlorinated chemicals and compounds.
Here's a partial list of items that rely on chlorine chemistry at some point in the manufacturing process:
- computers
- smartphones
- cosmetics
- mirrors
- window screens
- mattress covers
- blankets
- nonstick cookware
- sportswear
- golf bags
- artificial glass
- guitar strings
- bulletproof vests
- tires
- batteries
The Chlorine Tree, prepared by American Chemistry Council Chlorine Chemistry Division, shows the breath and scope of chlorine's use and demonstrates just how critical the chemical is to manufacturing – and how it exists at the core of many products. Without it, what would you miss most?


text: I am a 32 year old mother of three great kids! I just need to know what is going on with me! Going to a family doctor is not enough. They barely listen and seem to want to rush out of the door while you are in the middle of a sentence. I'm always tired, or I have high energy, I get irritated quickly, and I don't know how to handle my kids without yelling. I'm always feeling stomach pains, and cannot sleep because my legs seem restless and painful at night. I finally do fall asleep only to wake up several times at night. My teeth are bad, my face is horrid, I suddenly am getting bad acne, and I can't lose any weight. I've done all the exercises and diets, yet, I have a tummy that looks like I'm 9 months pregnant. But, the rest of my body looks great! I even tried making myself throw up, and starved myself, ate well balanced meals took vitamins... everything! But I can't seem to feel better no matter what I do! I'm currently on Sertraline. if i don't take it I'm 100 times worse! What is wrong with me? What can I do to make it better?

Quick, grab the smelling salts and clear the fainting couches.
President Trump's pardon of conservative author Dinesh D'Souza violently triggered Beltway media elites. It's peanut butter, weed pollen, gluten, Chick-fil-A, the national anthem, and Kryptonite all rolled into one giant political allergen. Allow me to administer the rhetorical antihistamine.
To the Washington Post editorial board, President Trump's use of the pardon is "another show of disrespect for the justice system."
Outspoken D'Souza was the subject of a highly politicized prosecution by former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara (now an anti-Trump resistance leader) over campaign finance violations totaling $20,000. The Post grudgingly admits the president "has constitutional power to do this" and that it is "Mr. Trump's prerogative" to pardon individuals the newspaper considers "unsavory."
Yet, the editorialists fulminate that what "is offensive here is not the pardon power, but the use of it" for "arbitrary, political and unjustified" reasons.
G-U-Double F-Awww. The protesting Posties wouldn't be capable of acknowledging an acceptable exercise of the pardon power by Trump if it body-slammed them off the ropes on UFC Fight Night.
Former Navy sailor Kristian Saucier received a Trump pardon after serving a year in prison for taking photos on his submarine to show his family where he worked (in contrast to the hands-off treatment of the classified information-breaching Clinton brigade). Too political, the pundits cry.
The late boxer Jack Johnson, America's first black heavyweight champion, received a Trump pardon after being jailed under Jim Crow for traveling with a white woman (who later became his wife) across state lines. Publicity stunt, they complained. Trump's still a racist, the grievance-mongers mongered.
Spare us all the hot air, media heavers. Democrats have long wielded pardon powers to reward deep-pocketed cronies, absolve unrepentant domestic terrorists and lionize national security leakers. The "democratic values" that WaPo-lemicists claim are now under siege thanks to Trump's pardons got crushed under the wheels of the corruptocrat bus a long, long time ago.
Self-dealing Bill Clinton handed out pardons and commutations like Pez candy to relatives like half-brother Roger Clinton (convicted of cocaine possession) and family-tied associates like his brother-in-law Hugh Rodham's clients, including convicted cocaine distributor Carlos Vignali and convicted herbal supplement fraudster and perjurer A. Glenn Braswell; the two felons had forked over $400,000 to Rodham in legal fees to win their clemencies.
Hillary's other brother, Tony, raked in more than $240,000 from a couple convicted of bank fraud, who he just happened to mention to his brother-in-law in the White House, who granted the pardon — after which brother Tony denied being paid for any work having to do with a pardon. Meanwhile, Madame HRC's Senate campaign treasurer, William J. Cunningham III, pocketed $4,000 to prepare clemency for two Arkansas-based convicted tax cheats, Robert Fain and James Manning. President Clinton granted both; Hillary played dumb and feigned shock, shock that political favor-trading was going on in Clinton land.
And don't even get me started on the Marc and Denise Rich pardon scandal, overseen by Clinton/Obama alum Eric Holder.
Critics assail President Trump for "bypassing the traditional review process," which 1) is his prerogative; 2) was standard operating procedure during the Clinton years; and 3) has been questioned by watchdogs on all sides of the ideological aisle because of the inherent conflict in the federal pardon lawyer's office being overseen by federal government prosecutors reluctant to undo any convictions.
No one did more damage to the integrity of the federal pardon attorney's office than Eric Holder, who pressured its staff to abandon its full-scale opposition to Clinton's clemency for 16 members of the deadly FALN Puerto Rican terrorist group and Los Macheteros.
The office tossed its original report rejecting clemency at Holder's behest and replaced it with a new and improved "neutral" memo giving Clinton cover to grant the pardons without contradicting the "traditional review process."
These Clinton/Holder beneficiaries were linked by the FBI to more than 130 bombings and six murders. Nearly two decades later, Holder was at the DOJ helm as attorney general when President Obama commuted the sentence of another seditious FALN terrorist, Oscar Lopez Rivera, who proudly declared to a federal judge, "I am an enemy of the United States government."
"Unsavory" is in the eye of the beholder. So is the "arbitrary" use of the presidential pardon. Will the resistance ever acknowledge a legitimate use of this power by President Trump?
Quoth the raving ravers: Never. Never. And never more.

1. Begin in a comfortable seated position with the spine long. You can sit on the floor in a traditional meditation posture or in a chair.
2. Take a few moments to scan the body, the mind and the emotions, noticing what's present and allowing for any experience that you are having. After checking in, bring awareness to the breath and spend a few moments noticing where the breath is in the body, whether it is deep or shallow, and any other observations.
3. Maintaining a comfortable posture, start to smooth the flow of the breath. As you inhale count to five, allow for a natural, easy pause and then exhale for a count of five. Do this for a minute or more. There should be no strain, just gentle focus. If need be, shorten the duration of the breath until it feels comfortable to lengthen it to five seconds.
4. Using your right hand, bring the thumb to your right nostril, place the "peace fingers" (index and middle) at the point between the eyebrows and bring your ring finger to your left nostril with the pinky resting against the ring finger.
5. Close the right nostril with the thumb. Take five breaths in and out of the left nostril at a smooth and even pace. Close the right nostril and take five breaths in and out of the left nostril.

The New York Times has run an extensive profile of President Barack Obama's next nominee to head the Federal Reserve, Jessica Yellin. Conservatives are worried that despite her qualifications, she's a liberal Democrat committed to using monetary policy to stimulate the economy, which is a risky strategy and not something the Fed does very well. She's also said to have a combative, abrasive personal style.
These are reasons for concern–but, paradoxically, having an interventionist Yellin as chair would make the political case for reforming the Federal Reserve far easier to make. Ben Bernanke came into office having cautioned, for much of his academic career, against the kind of government interventions he soon indulged. Yellin would very well make the Fed a much easier target, especially if she courts conflict with Congress.

Since I had been home from Vegas, I hadn't ventured out of the house once to play live game. I suppose a big reason for that is that we went to Auburn for 4 days to watch my nephew's All Star team to play a baseball tournament. And then, after getting knocked out early...their whole family came down and spent 3 days with us. Not really a good time to skip off to the local casino!
Two nights ago, I got on Lock to play some tourneys...this after picking up a couple hundred playing cash game the night before. In their $10 rebuy...I was in for a total of $30. We got down to 4-handed...and I thought I was about to catch 'Mr. 3-bet' with his hand in the cookie jar. When the first guy raised, and he re-raised, I shoved a decent amount with 10-10. Uh Oh...the first guy smooth called. That's never a good sign! Mr. 3-bet folded. I was up against AA. Yuck. And it held. Out in 4th. Oh well...not a bad score. $305. A few days ago...I was also able to deposit on Lock with NO problems at all. Used my debit card...and it went right through. And I think I've figured out what my rakeback deal is for people who sign up under my referral ID. Pretty sure anyone under me gets 36% rakeback. You also qualify for a 200% deposit bonus by entering 'thefuture' in the bonus code space.
So last night...I finally got out of the house to go play some cash game. First, I went to IP. There were only about 4 tables running...which I found odd for a Saturday night. And the casino was really full. Where were all the poker players last night? Don't worry...I found them later! So I sit down, and start with $500. I started out on fire. Within an hour I was up to $780.
Then I started getting creamed. Tried to get cute with AA...as the really aggressive OMRG had raised to $7...and a relatively short stack made it $15...I just decided to flat the raise...hoping the first guy would re-pop it, maybe even putting that short stack all in for his $60 or so. Well...I let Mr. Q-10 off in (a guy I would later bust when I made a dead on read...calling his all in shove on a 10-9-9-5 board and two diamonds with me holding 77. I put him on a flush draw or QJ. I was right. Flush draw. And he missed thank god. Guy even complimented me on my call on his way out. That was classy of him. But on the Q-10 hand? He flopped trips. I figured that out right away...when the guy with KK check, and I bet $25 and he just flat called. As did the guy with KK. It wasn't until the turn when I bet $40 and he shoved all in that I got the picture. I folded...
Then on a live straddle I had J9s as the straddler...no one raised. The flop comes Q-10-8. Two hearts. Nice. I check..intending to probably check raise. No one bet. Turn is a 10 of spades. Shit. Always something to make it interesting, right? So I bet $25 here. OMRG...a guy I just could NOT seem to beat all night...re-raises to $50. Oh jeezuz. And I figured he had to be raising me with a 10. Oh...I was right. So the river is a 6 of hearts and I figure I have to be good. I bet $65. And he shoves for about $225. Son of a ..... I fold my straight face up. And he was nice enough to show me K10h. Flush. Jeez. Those were the two more memorable hands. Oh yeah, then there was 10-10 against AQ guy...who just conveniently flopped Q-Q-5...and allowed me to double up his shortstack.
All told I went from $780 to $380 in about 40 minutes. I was getting super annoyed but managed to keep my emotions in check. And about this time...I decide to check my email and my fantasy baseball team. On my iPad. In between hands. And on one of those side tables. Basically...away from the game. As most of you may know...from either reading my blog, or playing there...back in June the IP decided to implement a new policy, wherein they know longer allow iPads, or even texting at the table. I'm told it was a function of their new management...which is Boyd Gaming. Now...I find this kind of peculiar, because at one of Boyd's other casinos...Borgatta in Atlantic City...they have no issues with players entertaining themselves at the table. But for some reason its a big deal in Biloxi, Mississippi?
I suspected it was a few of the older players who bellyached about it...and got someone to take up the cause for them. So on literally the first day of the policy, I had the floor guy/shift manager Michael immediately bust my balls about it. And coincidentally, I was just coming off a terrible orbit or two of hands. So it was magnified by that.
As poker players...have you ever had that floor person, or dealer sometimes...explain a rule or house policy to you and always preface it with something like "thats just what THEY tell us." Or the "I don't like the rule...but I don't want THEM getting mad at me." It's never something they want to just take accountability for right? Its always...'Oh it's someone else's rule not mine' but they seem extraordinarily excited about enforcing it. Know what I mean?
So I tell you this because I was close to never going back there to play because of that stupid rule. I mean...every other casino (practically) on the planet Earth is okay with iPads and iPhones...hell Harrah's New Orleans even FINALLY came out of the Dark Ages and started allowing them at the table...but for some reason IP has a big issue with it. Nonsense. But I was contacted by a few guys that work there on my Facebook. They told me they didn't want to lose me as a customer, and that it wasn't THAT big of a deal...that I just needed to keep it off the table, or on a side table, and as long as I wasn't slowing down the game...no one was going to make a big deal about it.
And they were right. I don't want to post the names of the other two or three shift managers, on the off chance I get them in trouble for NOT being hard asses about the rule...but none of them have been up my ass about it when I've been in there the past couple of months. And I've been respectful about it. Only using it for things that didn't require my full attention like word games and stuff.
Oh but Michael seems to have made it his number one thing to harp on. Either that, or he just likes busting my balls about it. So of course last night...as I was in my $400 swoon, and decided to check my email and then my fantasy baseball team (looking for a reason to be happy!) here he comes...lurking behind me. I can feel him there...like when you are on the bus or a train and that person is trying to read the paper over your shoulder. I'm not in a hand. And I have my iPad on one of those little tables. And he is just hovering there. I finally turn around and ask him if he needs something.
"They (there it is...the 'ol THEY again) aren't going to let you use that in here." Really? They aren't? Who is THEY? No one else was there...and the other guys who are USUALLY there don't have a big problem with it. And I told him he is the ONLY one who makes a big deal out of it. "Really? I'm the only one?" "Yes...Michael...you are the ONLY one." And we left it at that. But he spent the rest of the night perched in his little hole in the corner spying on me. It was irritating and stupid. So I just put my iPad away. Fuck it. Meanwhile I ran my $380 back up to $920...which is what I cashed out for...because it was dying down and a little birdie told me there was juicy action going on at the Hard Rock.
So I headed over there. There was a guy in the 6-seat (I was taking the 5-seat) who had a ridiculously obnoxious stack...I wish I had taken a picture of it...but lets say it was about 12 stacks of 10 white chips..then a pyramid of red chips where each stack consisted of $50...all told it was a stack of about $2200 he told me. But I think it was more like $1600. At any rate...this guy was actually a pretty cool dude. We got pretty friendly. And on one huge hand...I shoved all in with about 700 in the pot...holding two pair...and knowing he was on a draw. Well he called my $805 all in...and thankfully missed his draw. And I was stacking. That caused him to go to the pocket and pull out about $2k. This guy was hilarious. When I sat down he was raising constantly. But I think my presence kind of slowed him down a little. But not totally. He really liked getting his chips in play...and it certainly opened up the table a ton. It was playing more like a 5/10 game. Which was fine with me...since no one but him and I had big stacks.
|Yes I know...I am running the risk of being accused of 'The Burns Stack Pose!'
So...to make a long story just a little bit longer...I had one of my better cash sessions of all time. With my $420 profit at IP...I cashed out at Hard Rock $1900 and change...so a nice little $2300 night. Definitely covered the stop at Wal-Mart that I made on my way to IP for diapers, formula and dog food! I even gave Squirrel a little monetary gift this morning...since she has been having a LOUSY time at work. She switched to days (used to work swing shift 5-1) so that we would have a better 'Carley Schedule' and she has just been making NO money. We figured it would be worse...but not to this extent. So it makes me feel good when I can (a) come home from Vegas with some badly needed money and (b) to have a great night at the cash table. I've actually had quite a good run in cash this summer...having made a total profit in June of $2900...and now with last night, almost showing a $5k profit in a two month, limited playing schedule.
So back to this 'electronics rule' at the IP. Yeah...its really annoying. But my big question is this: With the WSOP-C coming here in 10 days or so...do they intend to enforce that rule during the tournament? And if so...are they prepared for the negative backlash that is going to come with it? I mean...I really like the IP. I like the manager over there, Jim Sterling...a LOT. And I've gone overboard trying to promote ALL of their past events. I really, really want them to keep building their tourneys. And frankly, I'm excited about this first event on the WSOP calendar and think they might really get a good turnout. But the thought of taking that HUGE step backwards...with something as ridiculous as not allowing players something they have really gotten accustomed to? Just seems very foolish. I guess we will just have to wait and see how they play it. Or...if I am able to get an answer from Jim Sterling about that topic, I will be sure to share it with you guys.
One other thing that I am hearing from other players...and it doesn't affect me, since I live here...is hotel room rates. Now, the IP has always (in the past) been really good to the players, and always offered them a decent poker rate. I want to say it was like $59 during the week and $79 or maybe $99 on the weekend. Which isn't too bad, especially if you are rooming with another player. But I'm being told by 4 or 5 players that they are being quoted a poker rate of $149 and up. Wow! As players...there is nothing we like more than being in the hotel where we are playing, for a lot of reasons. And to have to look outside of the property for something that fits into most players' budgets is just another factor that could cause a player to hold off on coming here and maybe waiting for a different tourney.
Okay...moving right along. This is becoming a rather long blog, and I have the radio show to do today. We have a really good lineup today too. Joining us on the show is my good friend of over 20 years, Chad Brown. Yeah, one of the rare 'Chads' who can tolerate. Also, we have Sam Barnhardt, a really good guy who is as Southern as they get. Sam won the National Championship in its first year last year...and has had some other nice scores along the way, including last year's Main Event. And lastly, we have another good friend of mine...Annie LePage. Some of you might not know Annie. I used to kid around with her and call her Heidi all the time because I think she looks like my life-crush Heidi Klum. She is one of the best looking gals in poker...and is from Canada...and sports a French-Canadien accent. She recently got out of a relationship with Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow...and you can be sure I will have some questions about that. My co-host, Scotty Clark...is recovering from...well, his WIFE is recovering actually...from totaling Scott's truck yesterday and breaking her wrist and ankle.
Regarding the radio show? I think I've had about 3 or 4 really good shows...and a couple that sucked. Like last week, I was not in the zone at all. I sucked. I will try hard to bring my 'A' game today. Speaking of 'A' game....being played tonight at Kai Landry's Chateau is the...how has he coined this? The World's Undisputed World Poker Champion of the World Championship.Yup...that's it. Coming to play will be a special group of people...some who have qualified through satellites the past two weekends, then a few of us who are getting in on 'special exemptions.' We might even have a seat or two open for 'the right player' should they contact Kai today sometime. Game time is 9pm'ish tonight! And this is what we are playing for!
The Claw is guaranteed to be on hand...and Squirrel might even come out of retirement to give it a shot! Should be a fun night...and seriously...I have NO idea what the hell I am going to do with 'The Hubcap Trophy'...which Kai has proclaimed in his blog to be 'The Greatest Trophy in the History of the World.' I have pledged, if I win it...to run in my boxers around his neighborhood, carrying that mammoth eyesore...screaming like an insane idiot. I would have done it naked...but I don't have the urge to visit Biloxi's jail tonight.
I have a few non-poker related things that have been piling up that I feel like sharing. Yes...call this segment...Monkey Vents. Oh...back to that point. I wish we would stop getting such good guests on the radio show every week...because I am very eager to open up the phone lines and interact with the listeners. If any of you have sat with me at the poker table when I was jawing with a fellow player, either in a playful fun way, or in a spiteful...wishing-pain-upon-them kind of way...you know I have some pretty decent improv skills. I am anxious to show them off...but that is Scotty's call to make. I'm just a lowly, unpaid intern on the show. :)
Nicki Minaj. Ughhhh. I don't hate her. I don't know her. And to be fair...she seems kind of cool in her interviews. But her music? I HATE IT! Her voice...and that stupid thing she does with it? It drives me NUTS. I can't help but think she is one of those artists that in about 10-15 years...when people hear that crap...they will be like..."Holy shit...people actually listened to that garbage?" Yes...yes they did.
Has anyone seen the commercials being done by Natalie whats-her-face? Also know as Octo-Mom? If you haven't...you probably think I am making this up. I am not. She is the paid spokesperson for a company that is basically giving Shark loans. One of my Facebook guys told me they looked at the site...and they are charging 621% on a $100 loan! No bullshit. Wow. I just can't for the life me see how they were sitting around trying to decide who they should get to rep them, and that they came up with her! Really? This world just keeps getting more and more effed up every damn day.
What do you guys think of 'Flo' in the Progressive commercials? She has had a pretty good run....what? About 3 or 4 years now? What is the shelf life on her? How much does she have in the tank? Will she ever get another acting gig? Or is she branded/typecast for life now?
Y'all here about Fred Willard getting arrested in the porn theater for lude conduct? Why is 'lude' underlined by word check? Am I spelling that word wrong? Is my brain not picking that up? It's not giving me a good replacement? Maybe later in this paragraph the light will come on over my head. Lood? No. Lude. It doesn't even look right. Wait....AHHHHH yes...LEWD! Hellllo!
Okay, so yeah...back to the Fred thing. Okay...there is something I don't understand. First, why are there even STILL porn theaters in existence? I mean...with all the copious amounts of free porn online...why would anyone leave the privacy of their home to wander into a (typically, not from personal experience but from what I hear) dark, disgusting, funky-smelling theater to join four or five other strangers to watch and get off to some porn flick? And how do you get busted in one? I mean...isn't it kind of understood what you are there for? Who rats that person out? I mean...is someone actually THERE who finds it offensive? Makes no sense. And first it was Pee Wee Herman...sorry, Paul Reubens...and now Fred. If you are an actor, or ANY kind of public figure...why in the HELL would you ever step foot in one of those places?
It just goes to show you...no matter how much money someone has, how much fame...there just is NO cure for stupid. Stupid will find you....and it won't let go. You can't get away from it. It's like the Ebola virus.
When did hotels start putting towels on a rack IN THE SHOWER? And why? I literally think that might be the stupidest thing I've ever seen in the hotel industry. They do understand, right...that we are taking a shower in there? Which involves lots of steam, and water splashing around? And the intent of towels is to DRY the water off of you AFTER the shower? And for tall guys like me...there is NO way in hell you are NOT splashing water all over those towels. Utterly ridiculous.
The movie 'Splash' is just coming on. Can anyone tell me what the hell ever became of Darryl Hannah?
Am I the only one who cringes every time those Cars.com commercials come on? With the person talking to the salesperson as their 'confidence' comes out of them? I think the worst is the black guy who has a worm like 'self' coming out of his back. I would like to think whoever came up with that ad campaign was in the middle of a monster mushroom session that inspired that idea. Had to be.
Okay...I could go on...but I have JUST enough time to POUND a couple of VERVE energy drinks in preparation for today's show. By the way...you can buy Verve directly through me! Just click that link up there in the corner...go to my page and order some. The 5oz shots are really kick ass, and the drink is a nice substitute for the organ-destroying Red Bull. They will ship the stuff to your front porch! I just got my second case delivered this week. Think I will bring some to Kai's tonight and see how many addicts I can create!
Oh...I would also like to thank the State of Washington for the Rainier cherries they've been delivering to us down here in the south. I know they are only in season for about two months...so I am getting my fill of them. They are SO SO damn good. I caught Phil Hellmuth on Facebook calling them Mount Rainer cherries...I felt compelled (and so did) to correct him. Anyone ever seen a cherry tree growing on a mountain? Yeah....uh...no!
All my fantasy leagues and Survivor Pools.....for the upcoming football season are UP and rolling. I can NOT wait for football season! If you want to get on my pool distro list...shoot me an email at email@example.com and I will add you. I have 4 fantasy leagues (two separate $200 head-to-head league, a $400 Big Money head-to-head league and a $200 Rotisserie League...all run on Yahoo) and they all have limited openings in them. I've been doing these leagues now for about 10 years. I love it!
Okay 10 minutes til air time...gotta go!!!

SOES6023 Environmental Radioactivity and Radiochemistry
Module Overview
Aims and Objectives
Module Aims
• The applications of radioactivity to environmental studies (mostly terrestrial and coastal/estuarine). In particular the use of natural and anthropogenic radionuclides as tracers of natural processes, such as rates of sediment mixing, transport and accumulation. • The dating of recent sediments – particularly using 137Cs and 210Pb. • The capabilities and limitations of a selection of methods in environmental science research will be presented such as radiometric methods (instrumental and radiochemical) and non-radiometric methods (mass spectrometry). • Modern radiochemical separations procedures for a selection of environmentally useful radionuclides (e.g. 14C, 99Tc, 210Pb, U and Pu isotopes, 230Th). Practical experience will be gained. • The past, present and future aspects and consequences of civil and non-civil nuclear technology.
Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes
Having successfully completed this module you will be able to:
- Understand the principles of research techniques in a variety of environmental radioactivity studies.
- IT, presentational and communication skills.
- Understand the capabilities and limitations of the different radiometric and non-radiometric techniques for radionuclide determinations.
- Understand the basics of accuracy, precision and uncertainty in radioactivity data.
- Select appropriate radionuclide techniques for particular research problems.
- Work safely in a radiochemical laboratory, write risk assessments, understand the need for QA and QC systems, record radiochemical usage for statutory purposes.
- Understand issues relating to the UK nuclear decommissioning programme and the arguments associated with 'nuclear new-build'.
- Apply a range of key skills at level 4 (e.g. numerical manipulations, develop polished technical presentations, keep good quality laboratory records).
- Working on multifactorial problems.
- Group working in a laboratory environment (safety, planning, etc.).
Lectures and practicals will cover: • Radioactivity: chart of the nuclides, modes of radioactive decay, decay energy diagrams, radioactivity units, decay laws, mass to activity relationship. • Origin of radionuclides through nucleosynthesis and cosmic processes and of non-primordial radionuclides. • Nuclear fission and fusion • Civil and military nuclear cycles (anthropogenic radionuclides) • Reprocessing of nuclear fuel and nuclear waste disposal strategies. • The Oklo fossil natural nuclear reactor. • Natural radiological hazards • Nuclear accidents, incidents and environmental leaks. • Radiochemistry for environmental scientists. • Methods of determination (radiometric, mass spectrometric). • Radionuclide behaviour in the environment (atmosphere, land and sea), interaction of radionuclides with marine biota). • Radiocarbon applications (dating and sediment mixing). • U-series disequilibria and dating (snow, sediment). • Impulse radiometric dating methods (weapons fallout, Chernobyl). • Radionuclides as tools in oceanography (case studies). • Radionuclides as tools in terrestrial environmental studies (case studies).
Learning and Teaching
Teaching and learning methods
Formal lectures: These provide the theoretical basis underlying radioactive and radiochemical processes in environmental studies. Each lecture systematically covers the main concepts and topics by the use of PowerPoint presentations. Where relevant, the course contributor's own research experience is brought into the lecturing sessions via Case Studies. There are normally two specialist outside speakers invited to make contributions. Demonstrations: These provide examples of modern radiochemical separations using a variety of chromatographic procedures. Practical classes: These develop skills in manipulating a broad range of data to convert from activity to mass and vice versa, to determine decay adjusted radionuclide inventories, to determine sediment accumulation rates using Pb-210 and Cs-137 methods. Keeping a well-ordered laboratory/exercise book. Presentations: High quality student presentations (evaluated) at the end of the course contribute to the learning experience. Field excursions: Visits to nuclear and related establishments (e.g. AWE Aldermaston, JET fusion reactor at Culham and DIAMOND); these allow students to gain an insight into practical applications of radioactivity and decommissioning and work possibilities. A wide range of support can be provided for those students who have further or specific learning and teaching needs.

Tueday 15 Weather fine it is the relief society but I forgot it was the day
From Charles Lowell Walker's Diary
Sunday 6th Hot with a little sprinkle of rain. Went to the ward Sunday School and gave a few hints about the sacrament.
Whipples house — Probably the Caroline and Eli Whipple home, 44 East 100 South, St. George.
Pickets to supper...his Mothers birthday — Horatio Pickett, son of Susanna Mehitable Rogers Sangiovanni Pickett Keate, who was, as noted here, celebrating her birthday. People with roots in St. George may recognize Horatio's name from their family death certificates since he was the undertaker.
Father will attend the lot — George Jarvis will do the necessary farming while George F. is helping his invalid wife.
B[rother] Fawcett — Patriarch William Fawcett (1814-1904)
Mr Whitelocks baby — Murkins Alma Whitelock. His mother was Amanda Terry and his father was John Albert Whitelock of Gloucester, New Jersey, teacher at the high school for one year.
In Albert Whitelock, St. George had an excellent schoolmaster and administrator. He was a good disciplinarian, one who was respected for his sound scholarship and his ability to inspire his students to do their best. In the opinion of George E. Miles...he was the best teacher St. George had known up to the time of his coming. He was at St. George for but one school year, 1883-1884. (Larson, I Was Called to Dixie, 551.)
Cut apples — processing apples to dry and store
Ed Browns horses...Sister Brown — Edward Mumford Brown (1849-1920) son of Lorenzo and Frances Crosby Brown, and his wife Ella Jane Dodge Brown (1849-1920). They lived in Nutrioso for about a decade and then returned to St. George. They had no children.

The latest in a series of Budget climb downs was welcomed by motoring groups and business leaders but took ministers by surprise.
It came amid fresh warnings about the economic outlook from the Bank of England and official figures showing that middle-range households lost an average of £1,000 in disposable income last year.
Mr Osborne made his announcement hours after Labour had called on him to abandon the 3p rise in fuel duty, which would have raised £550million for the Treasury.
During a routine session of Treasury questions, the Chancellor told MPs that the duty would be frozen for the rest of the year.
"We are on the side of working families and businesses and this will fuel our recovery at this very difficult economic time for the world," he said.
The move, which followed figures showing that the Government borrowed more than expected last month, was the fourth major reverse that Mr Osborne has made since his Budget in March. Since then, oil prices have fallen by almost 30 per cent to $91 a barrel, but pump prices have dropped by barely 6 per cent.
The Treasury said the cost of the latest announcement would come from as-yet unidentified cuts in Whitehall departments' budgets, which will be set out in the autumn.
Sir Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, said yesterday that he was "pessimistic" about the global economic outlook. The financial crisis, which began in 2007, was not even at the halfway point, he added.
Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor, accused Mr Osborne of "the fastest U-turn in history" and said the Chancellor had been "badly damaged" by his response to criticism of his Budget. Treasury sources claimed that discussions about cancelling the duty rise began "weeks ago", but Mr Osborne's announcement appeared to have caught even Cabinet ministers by surprise.
Earlier this week, Justine Greening, the Transport Secretary, told The Daily Telegraph that the duty rise had to go ahead to help clear the Government's deficit. A Cabinet meeting yesterday morning ended with no discussion of fuel duty.

Apparently the exemption on GST for maintenance fees is only for low and medium costs apartments. But today's article in the Malaysian Insider says that is not so. Low and medium cost apartment dwellers or their owners will still have to pay GST as a result of the pass on effect from their vendors. Doesn't this bode even worse news for the "normal" and higher end condominiums? Not only will GST be imposed on their maintenance fees but they will also increase their GST as a result of higher costs from their vendors.
