A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.

It's all in the journey and it's an imperfect world. Do your best to make sense. Think critically. Decide if it's fact or belief. Respond don't react. And, whether it's the road less traveled or the main drag, chances are good someone along the way has made an observation that might help you. Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from the stumbling, imperfect experiences of those who have traveled before - or are traveling with - us?

Scott Memmer on Skidding
Look where you want to go, and not at what you might run into. One big mistake novice drivers make is to focus on obstacles.... Unfortunately, the human body has an invisible connection with the mind. When the mind focuses on something, the body follows. Don't do that. Instead, direct your attention to the open space next to the tree. The body -- and car -- will follow.

Joseph Campbell on Perspective
We're in a freefall into future. We don't know where we're going. Things are changing so fast, and always when you're going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It's a very interesting shift of perspective and that's all it is... joyful participation in the sorrows and everything changes.

What if churches spent one Sunday a month 'out.' What if the majority of people that don't attend a church service would encounter church in pubs, cafes, parks or the streets? What if morning services were used to engage with people and love people who wouldn't consider going to Church?
Sunday Out projects have included a red carpet, a listening sofa, concerts in pubs and cafes, giveaways and painting. Simple ways to meet people and gently share something of the Christian faith with people who have yet to hear or understand what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

Minimize the Losses of hollow core photonic crystal fibres (HCPCF) through accurate finite element simulations.
Photonic crystal fibers, a new class of optical fibers, have impressive optical guiding and confinement properties not accessible to classical fibers. The microstructured cross-sections of these devices can be manufactured at high precision by drawing a structured and heated preform to very small diameters.
Figure 1 shows the geometry of a typical cross section of a photonic crystal fibre with a hollow (i.e., air-filled) core. Light of high intensity can be guided with low losses over relatively large distances. Figure 2 shows a triangular discretization of the geometry (obtained with JCMgeo). Note the accurate geometrical resolution of, e.g., corner roundings and strut widths.
Computing the cladding band structures (see Fig. 3) allows, e.g., to optimize the cladding structure for good light confinement in specific wavelength ranges.
Figure 4 shows the intensity distribution of a guided mode in a not optimized fiber geometry. For achieving optimum guiding properties, several parameters of the geometrical layout, like e.g. cladding periodicity, strut thickness, or the shape of the central hole have to be optimized. Figure 5 shows the dependence of the field confinement in the central core on a specific structural parameter.
Figure 6 shows the field distribution of a guided mode in an optimized fiber geometry. High accuracy and fast computations are extremely helpful in the optimization of such structural parameters. Figure 7 shows the same mode computed on a quarter of the cross section of the (symmetric) fiber as computational domain. The use of symmetries allows to further decrease the computational effort of PCF computations.
P.J. Roberts - Numerical methods for the design and analysis of photonic crystal fibres - In this article, P.J. Roberts highlights JCMwave's FEM solvers and states that "These codes are appropriate for finding the linear mode properties of all types of PCF. It is likely to be very difficult for a small university team to improve upon them without spending many man-years in code development. The availability of such codes enables the researcher to concentrate on other aspects of the electromagnetic propagation within PCF."

The Friday night line is open.
Would it be a crime in Hot Springs to order a batch of the classic T-shirt shown here to give to the mayor's rat pack?
UPDATE: The mayor appears to comment on Hot Springs Daily. A post under her name defends the idea of requiring that "adult" material not be displayed in windows. She appears to say one of the T-shirts said, "I came here to fuck bitches." More from the comment under her name (cleaned up for spelling):
I would hate to live in a city without ordinances and where decency is violated. If prayer can be removed from schools because someone is offended then why can T-shirts not be moved to the back of the store because I'm offended?releases video asking for forgiveness for "hurtful" language.
"I want to apologize to everybody for the wrong that I've done," she said, near tears, in a short, edited statement posted on YouTube. "I want to learn and grow from this. Inappropriate and hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable. I've made plenty of mistakes along the way but I beg you, my children, my team, my fans, my partners, I beg for your forgiveness."
Deen has a, well, colorful record on racial views dating back many years.
BUT, the apology apparently wasn't enough. Just in from CNN:
The Food Network says it "will not renew Paula Deen's contract when it expires at the end of this month."
* CHECK THOSE CAR TAG RENEWAL NOTICES: Just got this note from a friend. Be aware:
Got a vehicle registration renewal notice in the mail today. Perplexing considering that I took care of it a month ago. I was told by DF&A to throw away the notice. Seems like their computer ran out of paper and when it was restarted it sent out May notices again instead of June ones. The helpful agent told me they are getting bombarded with calls similar to mine.
* GARLAND COUNTY EXPOSE: The latest from the Garland County sheriff's office, recently rocked by arrest of a deputy for pimping a teenaged prostitute.
Investigator Danny Wilson was terminated from the Garland County Sheriff's Office on the 11th of this month on an ethics violation for conduct unbecoming of an officer, stemming from a report that was filed with the Hot Springs Police Department.
On the night of May 23rd we were made aware of a report that was filed with the Hot Springs Police Department where Danny allegedly exposed himself to a patron at the Big Chill. The patron did not wish to pursue charges against him, however he was suspended the next day (the 24th), without pay, pending an internal investigation for an ethics violation.
The internal investigation revealed enough evidence to justify his termination and he was subsequently terminated on the 11th of June.
Also from Lt. James "Corky" Martin:
Last Thursday, June 13th, the Arkansas State Police contacted our patrol Captain about a dash cam video, from a call they assisted us on, that they felt needed to be brought to our attention. The incident was in reference to a traffic stop on suspects in an attempted Burglary who fought with our deputies. Upon viewing the video, our Captain felt the matter needed to be turned over to our internal investigation panel for review.
At this time, the investigation is ongoing and cannot be discussed and the video cannot be released. I can say that the Deputy in question, Sgt. Scott West, has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the investigation.

Quinceañera (sometimes also called Fiesta Quinceañera or simply quinces) is the celebration of a girl's fifteenth birthday in parts of Latin America and elsewhere in communities of immigrants from Latin America. This birthday is celebrated differently from any other birthday as it marks the transition from childhood to young womanhood. The celebration, however, varies significantly across countries with celebrations in some countries taking on, for example, more religious overtones than in others.
At St Julie's, we welcome and embrace strong cultural traditions and believe they should be placed appropriately into the faith life of the teen. As such, we place emphasis on cultivating discipleship through ministry and active participation in the church.
The requirements for celebrating the Quinceañera at St Julie's include:
- The girl must have already celebrated her sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist or be in the process of preparing for the sacraments.
Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Causes for Pulmonary Aspiration?
Inhalation of gastric acids, vomit, food, or any foreign bodies, when the cough reflexes are absent, carries the fluids into the airways and lungs causing
pulmonary aspiration
. This damages the lung tissues and encourages anaerobic bacterial infections, which, if left untreated, can lead to many respiratory complications. Here are the risk factors and causes for
pulmonary aspiration
Excess Alcohol
Intake of excess alcohol causes the muscles to relax and unconsciousness, and the body tries to get rid of the alcohol in the blood through urination and vomiting. When a person vomits during unconscious state, the throat gets filled blocking the air passage. This results in breathing the vomit into the lungs.
General anesthesia that is improperly administered, that is without emptying the stomach or without fasting before the surgery, can cause aspiration.
Head Trauma or Unconsciousness
Head traumas that result in unconsciousness and vomiting, and any other reasons that cause unconsciousness along with refluxes or vomiting are risk factors for this condition.
Metabolic and Neurological Conditions
Certain types of metabolic and neurological disorders or conditions that cause aspiration problems as a result of improper coordination of the muscles involved in swallowing.
Early Respiratory Movements in Infants
During the delivery of infants, in some cases, the respiratory organs start to move even before coming outside. This results in inhalation of the fetal fluids and damage to the lung tissues.
Other Risk Factors
Other risk factors for this problem include gastric reflux, obesity, pregnancy, injuries, and structural problems that interfere with the regular movements of the intestinal or respiratory organs.
If you experience any symptoms such as shortness of breath, discomfort in chest, or productive cough, and are a victim of any of the risk factors for
pulmonary aspiration
mentioned above, get yourself checked immediately. Prompt treatment will prevent any complications or permanent damage to the lungs.

This is an extremely rare Gibson Flying V in fantastic condition. It's a very beautiful thing!
"The V" was introduced by Gibson in 1981 to compete primarily with the Maple-topped Dean and Hamer V guitars which became so popular in the late 1970s. They were made with either Mahogany or Maple bodies and necks, with a bound curly Maple top. The 22-fret fretboard is Ebony, and the position markers are white pearloid dots.
Gibson "The V" models are quite rare and collectable enough in their own right, and most were produced in Antique Sunburst or Vintage Cherry Sunburst. However, only 10-12 were ever made in Antique Natural finish - this is one of them!
This vintage Gibson is all original except for extra strap button hole on the back and the truss rod cover screws, The truss rod cover has small cracks and a small section missing at the screw attachment holes. This is a stunning looking and playing V, and has the original (and cool!) wind-out tuners. It weighs 8 lbs. 8.5 oz. It is in truly incredible condition, and even has the original hard case, also in great condition. Serial number is 82142004.
In 1984 Gibson offered the CMT (Curly Maple Top) model as a cut-price version of "The V", and these were only available in the two Sunburst finishes, which meant the selection of tonewoods for the body and neck was much less crucial regarding appearance of grain etc. The Flying V CMT model was only made in 1984, and was the end of the line for the 'The V' / 'Flying V CMT' versions. It is a common misconception that all Gibson maple-topped Vs were 'CMT' models, but the model name is only correctly applicable to the specific CMT V of 1984.
Just to further confuse the enthusiast of Gibson V guitars, Gibson also had a cut-price version on offer for the 1981-89 period which was made in the Nashville factory and called the Flying V - No Pickguard Model. I have seen these being offered for sale as 'The V' models, but they are easily distinguishable with the different tailpiece location (closer to the bridge) and different control layout.

Washington's Arrogance Will Destroy Its Empire• http://www.lewrockwell.com, By Paul Craig Roberts
The examples are endless. For example, Washington forced Switzerland to violate and to repeal Switzerland's historic bank secrecy laws. Washington executes citizens of other countries, as well as its own citizens, without due process of law. Washington violates the sovereignty of other countries and murders the countries' citizens with drones, bombs, and special forces teams. Washington kidnaps abroad citizens of other countries and either brings them to the US to be tried under US law or sends them to another country to be tortured in secret torture centers. Washington tells banks in other countries with whom they can do business and when the banks disobey, Washington blackmails them into compliance or imposes fines that threaten their existence. Last week Washington forced a French bank to pay Washington $9 billion dollars or be banned from its US operations, because the bank financed trade with countries disapproved by Washington.

What am I allowed to ship ?
Generally if the product can fit on one shipping pallet it is always a good start. Of course you should never presume that your product is fine to be shipped, you should always confirm with your logistics company before going down the path of selling the product. There is usually restrictions on liquids gels & illegal substances but again, always confirm with your logistics company!
At what point do I get a logistics company to do my fulfilment too ?
We would advise when you hit the 200 orders per day mark you should contact your logistics company and discuss on the idea of them taking over fulfilment.
This is the point where it becomes worth your time and money for a logistics company to take over.
Track and trace is it really necessary ?
In today's market Track and Trace is very necessary, mainly to avoid fraud but there are many other positives that track and trace will give to your business.
Some of these are:
- Reduce support as customer will not be ringing you and requesting to find out why their package has not been delivered.
- Your business will automatically look more trustworthy to a customer as they will feel safe in their purchase.
- Opportunity for further cross selling and increasing number of new customers.
Shipping outside of Europe what should I consider ?
Import taxes need to be considered as these can considerably add costs to shipping.
Local restrictions are difficult as countries have different rules and laws. Check with your logistics company in order to find out where and what you can and cannot ship.
Can I ship perishables what should I consider ?
Perishables in order to be shipped must be safely and properly stored. The lifespan of a product obviously must be long enough in order to first reach its destination but also have time for the customer to use/consume.
If the product is meat or any other item requiring a certain temperature you will need to contact your logistics company in order to organise this.
If you are shipping items that have a best before date, you need to store in your ecommerce system the time the product was packaged and how long it has been in transit. If delivery is delayed you need a process in place to inform them not to consume or use the product if it has passed the best before date or its tempreture control period.
How is shipping calculated ?
Weight x Cubic Capacity x Rate. Some logistics providers will have flat rates within bands so as to make it easier for the store owner. Note : It is a good idea to weigh/measure every item you stock so as to be able to avail of the best logistics rates later.
Indicative shipping times from Ireland to UK, US, Asia, Africa, Australia
Ireland to UK: 1-2 Days
Ireland to EU: 2+ days
Ireland to US: 2+ days
Ireland to Australasia 2-3+ days
It is a good idea to offer express and ordinary shipping to your customer as they may want your product in a hurry.

Dune & Legendary Pictures
Dune, the Frank Herbert masterpiece (and probably my favorite sci-fi novel) has been picked up by Legendary Pictures. According to various sites, Legendary Pictures reached an agreement with the Herbert estate. According to Legendary.com...
"Burbank, CA – November 21, 2016 – Legendary and the Frank Herbert estate have reached an agreement granting the production entity the film and television motion picture rights to the beloved novel DUNE, one of the most revered science fiction novels of all time. The agreement calls for the development and production of possible film and television projects for a global audience. The projects would be produced by Thomas Tull, Mary Parent and Cale Boyter, with Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt and Kim Herbert serving as executive producers."
Whether this will be a film series or a TV show, I don't know. However, I think Dune would make for a great HBO, Game of Thrones-ish TV show. Its got everything a show like that needs including deception, backstabbing, war, depth of conflict, and loads of sex (Bene Gesserit I'm looking at you). Or, maybe they will finally make Jodorowsky's Dune (I doubt it though).
If you aren't familiar with Dune or think it to be some obscure sci-fi reference, that might be because the novel is over 50 years old and has remained fairly absent from the mainstream surface of sci-fi culture. Released in 1965, Dune went on to win a Hugo Award and the very first Nebula Award. The story is epic in all regards and the Dune Universe is one wholly unique to itself. If you have never read the novel, now is the perfect time. There are other books in the series, most of which I have not read. But the originally Dune is a masterpiece of writing and imagination.
If you are interested in Dune, read the original novel first. There is also a film made in 1984 which was directed by David Lynch (yeah, Eraserhead Twin Peaks David Lynch). A lot of folks dislike the film but I love it. It's super weird and it has half-naked Sting (the musician not the wrestler) with orange hair. It's also got Al from Quantum Leap and Patrick Stewart. Its the perfect movie on a rainy Sunday when you want to take a nap and reassess your opinion of Sting. After reading the novel and watching the film, check out the documentary called Jodorowsky's Dune which is all about Alejandro Jodorowsky's failed attempt to make an epic 14 hour Dune film in the 70's (which featured Salvador Dali as the emperor, artwork by HR Giger and Moebius, and a budget that was never going to happen).
Dune is epic and it needs to come to the forefront of sci-fi culture because it is incredibly unique and complex and wonderful. Don't let us down, Legendary Pictures...
Myscus in Creatures Vol 3
Because every role-playing game needs a humanoid, spacefaring mouse race who love to steal. This a myscus, rambunctious vermin of the Materiosphere. His only goal is to outrun the bounty on his head and finish his smuggling job for the psionic worm Uglorothomoxologothroamo. Both the myscus and the psionic worms will be featured in the upcoming Creatures Vol 3. But wait, what about Vol.2, it's not even out yet. Well, you're right. Creatures Vol. 2 and Vol.3 will be releasing at the same time. That will be a total of 200 new entries for FAL.
Star Trek TNG: The Defector
Admiral Clueless
So, in these last few weeks, my wife and I have been re-watching Star Trek TNG. We aren't watching episodes in any particular order, just kind of bouncing around watching stuff we don't really remember. Tonight we watched the episode titled, "The Defector". Apparently, I have quite the knack for choosing depressing TNG episodes. While it isn't nearly as depressing as the episode "The Survivors", it is still quite sad.
The basic premise of the episode is that a Romulan has defected and brought news of an impending war between the Romulan Empire and the Federation. Most of the episode is spent with the crew of the Enterprise trying to determine if the defector (who later turns out to be Admiral Jarok) is legit or using wily Romulan tactics to deceive the crew. Turns out that the defector himself (unknown to him) was part of a Romulan ploy to not only test loyalty, but to lure the Enterprise into the Neutral Zone so that the Romulans might destroy it. Jarok realizes that his own people have betrayed him and used him to lure Picard and friends to their doom. However, thanks to Worf and some off-screen tactics by the Enterprise folks, the Klingons come to save the day. But, in the end, it's too late for Jarok who commits suicide as a result of being duped by the crafty Romulans, abandoning his family, and betraying his people. And that's why the episode is so damn depressing.
Riker is only thinking about his failed bluff in last night's poker game.
Admiral Jarok was acting out a true desire to prevent his people from being destroyed in a war with the Federation. Although he acted in vain, his actions were still with the interest of his people in mind. The depressing part of the episode is when Jarok talks about never getting to see his daughter grow up and how she will always see him as a traitor (keep in mind that everything he did was for nothing). The last scene of the episode is the cool kids of the Enterprise (Picard, Riker, Data, and Dr. Crusher) standing around the Romulan corpse lamenting the fact that he wrote a letter to his family that will most likely never be delivered. Way to twist the knife, TNG.
I need to watch The Inner Light and forget this shit.
Far Away Land Artwork
My failure to update this site resides in my inability to break away from work habits and let people know that there are in fact things going on. I'm really terrible at updating and talking about what I'm doing as pertains to FAL - I just get caught up in the creative process and forget. I get in these rhythms of work and think about what I'm doing and how to do things and I neglect letting folks know that I am in fact working. That being said, here is a smattering of artwork from the upcoming books...
Star Trek TNG: Survivors :(
I watched the Star Trek TNG episode "The Survivors" last night. That is the episode where a planet has been laid to waste and the only survivors are an old couple living on a small plot of land. The male survivor, Kevin Uxbridge, has to be one of the most tragic characters in all of Star Trek. This guy is a douwd (basically an immortal, super powerful being) who refuses to fight some aliens who are besieging the world upon which he and his human wife live. He could easily stop the assault but chooses not to. The aliens then wipe out the entire planet, including Kevin's wife, whom he really really loves. Kevin is all that remains and in the end he goes nuts and kills all of the aliens, as in eradicates their entire species. Then he feels super guilty because he is a creature of conscience who had always refused to kill. Lamenting his wife, he recreates her so they can waltz their days away inside their home and tend to their yard. Kevin's plan goes great until Picard and the Enterprise happen upon the planet. Ultimately, Picard sees through Kevin's illusions and calls Kevin out forcing him to tell the truth. Kevin tells his tragic story and Picard informs him that he (and the Federation) don't even have a law against the crime Kevin has committed.
This has got to be the saddest sob the Enterprise has ever encountered. The whole episode left me feeling like I was kicked in the nuts. It seems like the writers basically took all of the terrible shit they could imagine and rolled it up into Kevin Uxbridge. Don't be an Uxbridge.

Loeb/Elena unstoppable in the Welsh forestsRally of Great Britain (22 25 October 2009) Day 2
Starting the day with a slender five-second advantage, Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena handled Day 2 of the 2009 Rally GB with aplomb. They set four fastest stage times in six stages, and took their Citroën C4 WRC to a lead of over half a minute. The five-time World Champions seem to be ideally placed to claim a sixth consecutive title tomorrow. Dani Sordo and Marc Marti also performed strongly in the Welsh forests, recovering third place in the overall standings.
Although the teams enjoyed relatively good conditions on Friday, the weather worsened overnight. They left Cardiff in the small hours under heavy rain. After the first stage, Rhondda 1 (SS7), Sébastien Loeb had lost 2.4 seconds to his rival Mikko Hirvonen, who was just 2.9 seconds off the lead. "I had two or three aquaplaning moments in the opening kilometres and lost a bit of confidence. I was also slowed down by a branch that got stuck between the windscreen and the wiper," explained the Citroën driver. Spurred into action, Seb decided to make an impression in Crychan 1 (SS8). Over 14.99km of very fast roads, the Frenchman took ten seconds out of his rival in one go. "It was on the edge but we made it!"
said Daniel Elena calmly. Sensing that his rival was flagging, Seb continued in the same fashion on Halfway 1 (SS9/18.37 km). Fastest by 12 seconds, the number one Citroën C4 WRC pairing stretched their lead to 25 seconds by the time they reached the midday service park in Cardiff.
"Those two stages really suited my driving style," explained Sébastien. "The stage surface was hard and there was a lot of grip. I said to myself that I couldnt afford to let Mikko close any more, and I pushed as hard as possible. I felt that I could make a real difference at that point. But I can't rest on my laurels: we need to continue pushing and taking risks."
In the afternoon, Hirvonen was once again very quick in Rhondda. But Seb responded on Crychan and Halfway, and finished the second day of the rally with a 30-second lead. "This situation suits me perfectly, but I still cant afford to ease up. Tomorrow, well be doing four long stages without any service parks. Anything can still happen on such a tough rally."
Having started fourth this morning, Dani Sordo moved ahead of Petter Solberg on SS7. After setting second-fastest times on Crychan 1 and Halfway 1, the Spaniard used the morning to build a gap to the Norwegian. "There was rain, fog, wind and mud, but I had a lot of fun," confirmed Dani. "We now have a small advantage, but I know Petter will be wanting to fight back. We need to carry on pushing."
During the afternoon, Dani lost several seconds to his rival, but he still held a 24-second lead at the end of the day: "It was really difficult, there were a lot of potholes and big puddles. I decided to be cautious at certain points, even if that cost me a bit of time. I hope I can maintain this third place tomorrow."

text: We all know that T2 has a slightly better disc than T1 does, but what is the better movie between the 2. I would have to say T1. Nothing can compare to the music, or the excitement of the first film. And I also fell Arnie was better as the villain. What do you guys think Also the Godfather. 1,2,3. I would say 2. Because I think Al Pacino gives the greatest cinematic performance of all time in this film

PARIS (Reuters) - German luxury automaker Daimler (DAIGn.DE) has cut its growth forecast for the global car market, blaming cooler demand in emerging markets and a plunge in Russian sales which has put a fledgling European industry recovery in jeopardy.
Speaking as the Paris auto show opened to the media on Thursday, Daimler chief executive Dieter Zetsche said he now expected the global car market to grow by 3-4 percent this year, down from a previous forecast of 4-5 percent.
Other executives shared his caution, particularly over Europe where a six-year sales slump has left demand around 20 percent below pre-crisis levels and sluggish economies have put a question mark over whether the gap will close anytime soon.
"Perhaps we will arrive at 13 million or 13.5 million (overall vehicle sales in Europe). But the market won't return to (the pre-crisis level of) 15.5 million, I'm sure of it," Martin Winterkorn, the chief executive of Europe's biggest carmaker Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), said on the eve of the show.
Europe's car market has returned to growth this year, although widespread incentives for buyers and government subsidy schemes in some countries have made it difficult to gauge the strength of underlying demand.
A source familiar with the matter told Reuters that car sales in Germany rose by more than 5 percent in September, bouncing back from a decline in August and giving a year-to-date increase of 2.9 percent.
But demand has been erratic and executives are particularly concerned about Russia — once tipped to overtake Germany as Europe's largest auto market — where new car sales tumbled 26 percent year-on-year in August due to a slowing economy hit by Western sanctions over the crisis in Ukraine.
"Earlier this year, momentum was at the upper end of expectations but it's flattening out a bit," Ford Europe (F.N) Chief Executive Stephen Odell told reporters, referring to the broader European market.
BMW (BMWG.DE) Chief Executive Norbert Reithofer, meanwhile, said price levels in Europe had improved, but not by as much as the German carmaker's managers would have liked.
He forecast it would take more than three years for the European market to return to pre-crisis levels.
Despite their concerns, some executives said they were keeping faith with the Russian market, and in some cases sticking to sales forecasts.
"The Russian market will come back. One has to think in longer terms," Volkswagen's Winterkorn said. "It's right, we cut production (temporarily in September at the Kaluga plant) but Russia will come back, I'm convinced of that."
Toyota (7203.T) also said it expected to ride out the worst of the slump in Russia's car market, and stuck to its goal of increasing sales to a million vehicles in Europe next year.
Didier Leroy, the Japanese carmaker's head of European operations, said that while sales of entry-level cars in Russia were down 25-30 percent, hurting many of its competitors, demand for premium vehicles was down a more modest 8 percent.
Vehicles such as its Camry and Lexus have helped Toyota to boost its share of the declining Russian market by about 1 percent this year, he added.
With carmakers scrapping for market share across Europe, the Paris show is packed with new fuel-efficient small cars and compact SUVs designed to tap into stronger performing segments of the market.
Among the new models in Paris is Renault's (RENA.PA) revamp of the elderly Espace people carrier as a crossover sport utility vehicle. It was launched on Thursday 30 years after the first model was unleashed on European consumers who hadn't yet realized they wanted one.
Once the European market leader, the Espace is now one of the laggards of its category, far behind the Ford (F.N) S-Max, which struck out in a sportier direction from its 2006 introduction and is unveiling another timely update in Paris.
"It's a global shift affecting even family vehicles, and it is here to stay," Societe Generale analyst Philippe Barrier said. "Designers are having to compromise as people look for something sportier."
Daimler's Zetsche said growth was also slowing in emerging markets such as Brazil and Argentina. But he played down fears of a sharp slowdown in China, the world's biggest car market.
"Growth has slowed, but from a much broader base," he said. "We must not forget that it is the second largest economy. We see double-digit growth this year."

Sony's ocean thriller IN THE DEEP may have just found its director in Louis Leterrier, who Deadline reports is in talks to helm the project written by Anthony Jaswinski. The Black List script tells the story of a lone surfer attacked by a shark and stranded on a reef who must find a way back to shore before succumbing to her injuries.
What we know about the film is that it's being described as a cross between 127 HOURS meets JAWS, with some GRAVITY thrown in there because why not? In it, a young woman who is dealing with the recent death of her mother is surfing on an isolated beach and gets stranded 20 yards offshore on a buoy. What lies between her and the shore is a huge great white shark.
Leterrier helmed the first two TRANSPORTER films, and more recently NOW YOU SEE ME and the upcoming Sacha Baron Cohen pic GRIMBSY. IN THE DEEP sparked quite the bidding war back in September, which was ultimately won out by Sony. It will be produced by Weimaraner Republic Pictures partners Lynn Harris and Matti Leshem.

I painted it a slate gray and now just need to add some hardware. The 103 year old hardwoods in my home are getting refinished next week, so I'll finally be able to move furniture into my place!

Workers Compensation
Keep Your Employees Protected
Active Auto Insurance understands the value of good employees. We know that your day-to-day operations depend on their hard work, expertise, and dedication, and if you supply them with quality benefits and plans, they can work with the peace of mind assurance that they are properly protected.
But should an accident happen, having the right Workers' Compensation plan from Active Auto Insurance can allow your business to ensure payments and cover expenses if an employee is injured from a work-related accident. Injuries can range from car accidents and back injuries to equipment malfunctions and, in some unfortunate cases, death.
Workers Compensation can cover financial obligations such as:
- An injured employee's medical expenses/treatment
- The replacement of lost wages from injury time off
If your business does not offer Workers Compensation, serious injuries that occur on the job could lead to an employee suing your company for damages. That is why it is important to discuss your options with a specialist at Active Auto Insurance who can help you find the right coverage options for all your business needs.

Hello, Mandy-I imagine the old sounds are buried underneath this new one. I've never had anything like this to hang on after getting up for the day. It had stopped, but then started again after I was up a while. I do hope it's like your noises, and will settle back down. Mine usually do. It's about to drive me out of my mind right now.I've been used to my usual noises for years, had bad spikes, would get over them. Maybe this is just another spike. I hadn't thought of it like that. Just a few days ago, it was so quiet, it was unbelievable! I felt bad that day, but the noises were quiet anyway. It truly is distressing, sudden, unexplained changes like this. Thanks for checking in with me. May we both have normal (quiet) days.
Hello everyone, To start off, i just want to say that it is an immense relief to discover this site. It's comforting to know that your not alone, and like Dr. Nagler said in a previous thread, even though you can express your situation to friends and family.. they never really can understand. However, you guys can, and for your posts of information, compassion and expression, i thank you.I have a question, im curious as to if anyone else experiences these situations with they're T.My T has been progressively getting worse for the past 7 months, every month is far more intense then the preceding month with zero relief to any previous T levels.
Hello, fellow 't' survivors. We are survivors and will keep on truckin'!Well, Mandi, fortunately, the eerie 't' noise did go away, but now I'm dealing with an increase in left ear clicking when I talk or move my head wrong. It seems to be an e-tube problem probably located near the throat end of it. After eating and drinking, for a while, it seems better. I think I've had this before and it would always settle. This time, I don't know. Drives me batty.Thatch I hope things turn around for you soon. I have a feeing they will given some time. And yes, those scanners are very loud at checkouts. These at Wal Mart rattle your teeth!

Samsung announced last week that it would offer a Blue Coral color option for the Galaxy S7 edge, and the variant is now up for pre-order at AT&T. You'll be able to pick one up for $794 outright, $26 per month for 30 months, or $33 monthly via AT&T's Next plans.
The retailer will ship the color option between November 18 and November 22, with in-store availability likely to kick off after that. The Blue Coral option will be making its way to "select markets" around the globe, so we should be hearing more about its availability in other regions in the coming weeks.

Civil Idiotarians
It's annoying and upsetting to deal with some of the "preventive" measures against terrorism since they mostly seem annoying, upsetting, (sometimes unconstitutionally) invasive and not very preventive at all. On an glaring incompetence note, for example, the TSA has proven very effective at finding bottled water in luggage, and not very effective at all at finding bombs. I sometimes think they'd have a hard time finding bin Laden himself if he strolled through the line in a Cubs shirt and a Disneyland baseball cap.
Still, the answer isn't dumping preventive measures, or sacrificing civil liberties willy nilly, but figuring out what is and isn't a must for fighting terrorism -- which most definitely is a threat, just read Jihadwatch for a week, and you'll get it. Cathy Young writes for Reason that civil libertarians shouldn't be cavalier about terrorism:
There is little doubt that the terrorist threat has been exploited by politicians—including the Bush administration, which has used the specter of September 11 to justify questionable policies both foreign and domestic. Half-baked plots by incompetent wannabe jihadists are hyped as imminent attacks with devastating consequences. Recently, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff incurred much ridicule when he spoke of his "gut feeling" that a terrorist attack could be imminent.
This situation has led some civil libertarians, most notably Ohio State University political science professor John Mueller, to declare what left-wing enfant terrible Michael Moore was excoriated for writing a few years ago: There is no terrorist threat. In a 2006 essay in Foreign Affairs magazine, Mueller notes that radical Islamic terrorists have not made a major attack on U.S. soil since September 11, and argues that this is unlikely to be due to the vigilance of homeland security. Mueller concludes that the Al Qaeda has been largely defanged and that terrorists are clearly not as determined, effective or ubiquitous as they are made out to be. Thus, he asserts, we may have authorized massive surveillance and detention programs and other restrictive policies in response to a phantom menace.
Yet a new National Intelligence Estimate contradicts Mueller's assessment of the threat level: according to the report, the Al Qaeda has regrouped and is now the strongest it has been since 2001. This is not Bush Administration propaganda. In fact, Bush critics, including The New Republic and New York Times columnists Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich, were quick to seize on the NIE as an indictment of the administration—for going after Saddam Hussein while failing to capture Osama Bin Laden, and for turning Iraq into a terrorist launching pad and recruiting tool.
This indictment may well be accurate, and quite damning for an administration that has used keeping Americans safe from terrorists as a catchall rationale. But is also a reminder that the terror threat is more than mere hype.
Most of the recent failed terror plots may have been inept exercises in fantasy. But even if one out of a thousand such plots succeeds, it could be a tragedy of horrific proportions, especially if biological weapons or suitcase nukes are involved. Clearly, not all terrorists are inept; besides, even the most inept of bumblers sometimes manage to get lucky. The 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which did only minor damage, was the work of amateurs of almost comical ineptitude. Eight years later, no one was laughing.
...In the past, wars and other national security threats led to far worse assaults on American liberties than anything being contemplated now. Already, the majority of Americans seem willing to accept at least some curtailment of civil liberties in order to reduce the threat of terrorism. Even one more major attack, let alone three a year, could usher in some very dark days for freedom. If champions of civil liberties want to prevent that, they need to take a different approach: to show that the compromises we are being asked to accept will not make us safer, or that there are ways to make us more secure without sacrificing our bedrock principles. If they want to be heard when they warn about loss of liberty, they cannot afford to sound cavalier when they talk about loss of life.

A network email report is available in the "Network" tab on the manage page of every group in the network.
Clicking on the "Download Monthly Network Email Report" button will run the report. We will email you when the report is ready for download.
The report spreadsheet contains a row for the current group plus any child groups in the network, a link to their manage page, a count of the size of their subscribed email list (activists who are subscribed to receive email at that time), and a cumulative count of the number of activists who were sent email that month, non-deduplicated.
So, for example, if a child group sent two emails to its full list of 10 activists, and its parent sent one email to its list of 100 activists, the count on on the child's row would be 20 (two emails, 10 activists each), and 120 on the parent (1 email, 100 activists, plus children).
In this way, you can get a sense of the size and activity of groups in your network.


text: Anyone checked out the iCruze yet? Didn't catch this one when it came out (announced around November 2004 timeframe). Came across it today in my local Best Buy ad. It's a little expensive, but for a direct connection to your existing car stereo it looks like a pretty good option. Nice configuration tool on their website. Select the Make and Model of your car and it tells you what components you need to buy for the direct link. Wonder how well it works... Monster iCruze

Hello there everyone,
Apologies for my long unexplained absence. things got a bit hectic here for a few weeks and the knitting had to be put on hold for a while. Firstly I've had the 18th pattern completed to be photographed for over a month now, however I tried to purchase a light box to help with the pattern photography and it basically never arrived, so I've been waiting a long time to get my refund and will then be looking for a replacement.
Also had my interview to go back to university in September and I've got in, yippee!!! I'm so happy there was only 12 places left out of 70 interviews. As I said before I'll still be trying to create the patterns when I'm back there it juts may be a little slower, plus I'll always be selling and be on hand to help when anyone needs me.
I'm hoping things will resume to normal over the next fortnight once I get my new light box and the excitement of the little ones birthdays are out of the way. Can you believe my little babies are going to be one and two?!! They grow so fast.
Anyways enough of my rabbiting on, hope your all having fun knitting the patterns. Remember to keep posting your finished toys on the Jelly Bums flickr group and/or Ravelry, I'm loving the pictures that are being posted so keep up the good work everyone.
♥ Raynor

The Clarence Hotel sits right on the banks of the River Liffey, in the heart of Dublin city. From your bedroom at The Clarence, you are never more than a quick stroll away from a whole host of activities to keep you busy and entertained. When you want to get your blood pumping and heart rate going, we want to let you know about some exciting adventure activities than you can take part in during your stay.
Why not take in the gorgeous sights of Dublin city by water? The Dublin Kayak Company offer a two hour tour up and down the Liffey. You'll get to take in many of the sights and landmarks along the quays, plus you'll get to see us from the water! Give us a wave as you paddle by! All of the equipment will be provided to you by your professional guides, who will keep you in their safe hands for the entire tour. You'll see Dublin from a completely different angle, it's a great way to spend some time.
On your bike!
If you'd prefer dryer surroundings, then why not get on a bike? For those of you adventure types who have cars and bikes, why not take a trip out to Ticknock at the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains? It's the perfect place to go for a picnic and a full-on mountain biking experience. It's about 1 hr from The Clarence and is certain to be a seriously thrilling and fun day out. You'll get stunning views of the entire city and of the mountains themselves. Make sure to keep your eyes on the cycling track, though! There are plenty of brilliant bike tour companies in Dublin that offer some great tours. You could check out Lazy Bikes, a tour company that offer cool looking eco-bikes with little electric motors. They go from the city centre (right 'round the corner from us!) and go as far as Kilmainham Gaol (jail) and back, including stops at Dublin Castle, St Patrick's Cathedral, Guinness Brewery, Royal Hospital Kilmainham and Christchurch Cathedral.
Up the walls!
While we all love being active outdoors, the colourful Irish weather is not always to be relied upon for clear blue skies. If you want to get that adrenaline flowing but forgot to bring your rain coat, then we recommend a visit to Awesome Walls, one of the largest indoor rock-climbing centres in Europe. It dazzles with over 250 climbing routes and 2,000 square metres of bouldering, you can find the climb to suit your ability and still have lots of fun! Awesome Walls provides a safe environment for beginners and experienced climbers. It's the ideal rainy day adventure fix!

Curiosity Diversity Engagement
A student is being bullied or victimised when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other students.
The meaning of the expression negative actions must be specified further. It is a negative action when someone intentionally inflicts, or attempts to inflict, injury or discomfort upon another.
Negative actions can be carried out by words, threatening, taunting, teasing, and calling names. It can also be physical: hitting, punching, kicking, pinching, restraining etc.… It is also possible to carry out negative actions without the use of words or physical contact, such as making faces, dirty gestures, intentionally excluding, or refusing to comply with another person's wishes.
Dealing with potential/actual cases of mobbing is an extremely multi-layered problem. In light of this any policy that tries to address mobbing by following a set procedure will ultimately be unfit for purpose. Instead we should rely on our own professional training, and judgement, to deal uniquely with each instance, on a case by case basis.
At CCS we are united in the belief that the most important part of a child's school life is to feel safe, respected and seen. The consequences of mobbing, as well know, can be extremely serious and stay with the victim throughout their life. It is therefore our pledge to do everything we can to ensure both that it does not happen, and that when it does, to recognise it and work towards a swift resolution.
The question is of course how does one do that?
It is our strategy that we treat cases in a holistic manner. That we don't just focus on the victim, or the bully, but that we look at every part of how that class works, and communicates. In other words, we put focus on the class dynamic in every sense.
- Student-student
- Teacher-class
- Teacher-bully
- Bully-victim
- Class-victim
- Class-bully
- Parent-teacher
- Parents-class
A number of strategies can be employed to establish this dynamic:
- Individual conversations
- Trivselssamtale
- Class meetings
- Group activities
- Parent meetings
- AKT-forløb
- Focussed supervision in breaks
- Cooperative learning
Once an accurate, non emotional, picture has been established, a relevant strategy can then be put in place. Clearly, this will vary largely depending on the circumstances, and the nature of the class dynamic.
Often, in our experience, the key to a long lasting solution is for the class, teachers and parents, to all see their role in the situation, and through becoming aware act in positive ways to alter the situation. For example, most children do not bully. Each class has a silent majority that neither support, nor condemn, bullying. To empower the group to take an active role can be a very powerful tool in redefining everyone's role in the class, the victim's and bully's included.
As a school, and as a team, it is vital that we work together, both with regard to:
- Identifying students who are cause for concern.
- Working in a coordinated manner to address cases of bullying.
For parents wishing a fuller picture of some of the many strategies we employ, I would direct them to" Bullying at School" written by Dan Olweus.
Possible Signs for teachers
- Teased in a nasty way
- Get pushed around and not able to defend themselves
- Involved in quarrels/fights from which they try to withdraw (crying)
- Have their belongings taken, damaged or scattered around.
- Excluded from peer group. Do not seem to have a single friend in peer group
- Are chosen last in team games
- Try to stay close to the teacher during breaks
- Have difficulty speaking up in class and give an anxious and insecure impression
- Appear distressed, anxious and insecure expression
- Deterioration in school work
Parents have an incredibly important role too. We urge parents to contact us if they have a suspicion that bulling is taking place. Whether, this be with their own child, or that of another. It cannot be stated enough the importance of acting quickly in such matters, before roles begin to get set. Please, do not wait, even if it just a suspicion, or a sudden change in behaviour with your child, we would ask you to contact us. Our instincts, as parents, are often good when it comes to such matters.
We would also stress that you take great care in contacting other parents. There will be a time for that, but our experience has taught us again, and again, that this is almost always a mistake, emotions are too high, and communication is affected accordingly.
Possible Signs of Bullying (victim at home)
- Torn clothing
- Damaged books
- Injuries without a natural explanation
- Does not bring classmates home
- May not have a single good friend
- Reluctant to go to school in the morning, poor appetite, repeated headaches, stomach pains.
- Chooses an illogical route to go to school
- Restless sleep with bad dreams
- Loses interest in school work, lower grades
- Appears unhappy, sad, depressed, show unexpected mood shifts with irritability and sudden outbursts of temper
As stated earlier we do not accept bullying. No child should feel scared to come to school. As a private school we are in control of which students attend our school.
However, the expulsion of a child is a last resort. It is a statement that we have failed, and more importantly we have failed to help the bully, who often is in just as much need of help than the victim.

About actors
Although you might think you're the next Jennifer Lawrence or Leonardo DiCaprio, sometimes it's best to leave it to the professionals. Actors can be hired for everything from adverts and explainer videos to art films and full length feature films. Although it is the superstars that get most of the attention in the media, most freelance actors work in a variety of different supporting and main roles, depending on the requirements of the director or producer. You might want actors for a Kickstarter explainer video that'll get your business off the ground, a promo video so people know what you're all about, or perhaps a TV ad when you get really big!
Film and television shows, as well as most advertisements, are filmed in studios and on sets, but actors can also be required to work on location, depending on where the producer or director decides is the best place to shoot the scene.
The quality of an actor can make or break a film and can help bring your video content to life. On Twine, you'll find talented professional actors with a wide variety of experience across the film industry.'

Well, the finale of the Diamondbacks series was a bit disappointing, as Randy Johnson outdueled Daisuke Matsuzaka yesterday in the air-conditioned comfort of Chase Field.
As an aside, according to the Diamondback's Web site, Chase Field has enough air-conditioning capacity for 2,500 typical Arizona homes. I'm glad I don't have to pay that electric bill!
Dice-K seems to be suffering from a case of Tim Wakefield Disease, as the Sox have scored only 1 run for him in his last two starts. Matsuzaka, for his part, has given up only 2 runs in each of those outings, one for 7 innings against Oakland and 6 innings yesterday.
At least the Sox were shut down by a future Hall of Famer yesterday, instead of the embarrassing debacle against Lenny DiNardo in Oakland, where they managed to hit into 5 double plays.
The game was still close headed into the last of the 8th, until Mike Timlin, in his first appearance off the DL, threw a bunt into right field for a 2-run error. The Dbacks eventually scored another run for the 5-1 final score.
So, the trip out west was disappointing, as the Sox go 3-4 and the Yankees managed to get the division lead under double-digits. Of course, the Yankees are done playing the reeling White Sox and the AAAA Pirates and have to take on the Dbacks (in a virtual tie with the Padres for first place in the West) and the East leading Mets at the Stadium. The Sox, on the other hand, come home to Fenway to play the Rockies and the Giants, the teams holding down the bottom two spots in the NL West.
I'm calling for 5 out of 6 by Sunday, and the lead back into double digits. Who's with me?

Defining Classroom Knowledge: The Part That Students Play
Because schools are intended to be places where learning occurs, the question of what will count as knowledge is especially important. What counts as knowledge is a determining factor in what students actually learn. That is why this aspect of classroom power relationships--how students contribute to the process of determining what will count as classroom knowledge--is the focus of this chapter.
In traditional sociological and political analysis, the power to define what will count as knowledge is assigned to the teacher. The larger society--defined as the structure of the school, the expectations of administrators, parents, and community members, and all kinds of curriculum materials--is thought to influence the teacher's use of this defining power.
Although the actions of students described in this chapter are surely affected by the same larger society that influences teachers' actions, the analysis I present here focuses on student actions exerting influence on what will be learned in a given classroom. I stress this point because so many writers in education have focused on the influence of the teacher, or of society through the teacher. Some view this influence as a primary instrument for the oppression or control of students, particularly those who are culturally different from the majority; others see it as a necessary part of the transmission of the desirable aspects of an historic culture. Without denying that one of the ways teachers contribute to constructing classroom power relationships is to influence the definition of classroom knowledge, I look in this chapter at how students also influence this definition. In doing so I am opening up the possibility of looking at how the influence of the

Syringomyelia in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
By Dr. Ed Mapes
Stonebridge Animal Hospital
McKinney, Tx
We've had a real upsurge in the numbers of Cavalier King Charles spaniels of late – that's great news for our practice because these are fantastic little dogs. Seeing more of these guys though prompts me to discuss a very serious condition for which this breed is predisposed: syringomyelia is a disorder that all owners of the King Charles must be aware.
Syringomyelia occurs because the skull does not fully enclose a part of the brain called the cerebellum. This causes portions of the brain stem to protrude through an opening of the skull (foramen magnum). The constriction impairs the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain to the spinal cord.
Affected dogs will paw and scratch at the back of their neck and shoulders as discomfort begins to manifest early in the course of the disorder. As the CSF backs up, pain becomes the main problem. Dogs become lethargic, resist movement, and yelp as discomfort increases.
Affected dogs prefer to arch their necks backward to control pain. They become agitated, cannot eat or sleep, and constantly seek to relieve the discomfort. Damage to spinal nerves finally affects the legs, which become progressively weaker. Paralysis can result when nerve transmission is cut off entirely.
Symptoms are not usually seen in puppies, but emerge as the skull reaches full size and cannot accommodate the brainstem. Symptoms begin to arise when the cerebellum first emerges through the foramen magnum and CSF flow is interrupted.
These patients are usually presented because of the pawing and scratching at the neck and shoulder areas without symptoms of skin problems. Before concluding a diagnosis of syringomyelia, though, I always do a thorough ear examination because another condition seen in the breed, secretory otitis media, can mimic the early signs.
In this disorder, a thick, mucous accumulation fills the middle ear of dogs, building pressure within that forces the tympanic membrane (ear drum) to bulge. We can see this with an otoscope. Resulting irritation and discomfort causes dogs to paw at the ear and neck regions.
One discriminating sign between the two conditions, though, is that they'll shake their heads with otitis, which is not usually seen in syringomyelia because of the pain. Having ruled out secretory otitis media, definitive diagnosis of syringomyelia is best accomplished by a neurology specialist with access to CT scan or MRI.
Treatment options are categorized as either supportive and palliative or definitive. Palliative therapy includes medications to control pain and to decrease production of CSF. These may be helpful or even lend control of the problem in dogs with partial obstruction of CSF flow, but medical therapy alone cannot control symptoms in more severe cases.
Definitive therapy involves surgeries that increase the foramen magnum size or provide shunting for CSF to limit pressure. Surgery is most effective when performed relatively early in the disease process before nerve damage is done and the protruding cerebellum is intact.
Owners of Cavalier King Charles spaniels should be knowledgeable of this disorder in their dogs and seek veterinary help whenever signs begin to emerge. Breeders must accept responsibility for breeding only dogs without this disorder, since it is known to become more serious in successive breedings of known carriers.

DAAN GROOT | director
Daan Groot is a Dutch director, currently based in Amsterdam. He newly graduated from the Netherlands Film Academy with his short film Aimée, which won the Topkapi Films Fiction Award for the best fiction graduation film. The film world premiered at the Acadamy Award Qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival.
His fiction is strongly character-driven. It's always his goal to handle sensitive, socially relevant themes through personal stories. For instance, in his third year he directed the short film To ourselves, which examines how striving for freedom – a fleeting attitude towards life with a high degree of self-determination – is connected to egocentricity and loneliness. This film was included in the talent program of Go Short 2018.
Together with Topkapi Films he is currently working on the short film Do, which will we be his short film debut both as a writer and director.
Immediately after graduating he also started shooting commercials. His first fashion film MARTAN MARTAN and L'Oréal Paris – won the Young Discovery Award at Fashion Film Festival Istanbul, was both nominated and selected at numerous festivals, and was released online by ELLE. He also shot his first international campaign in London, Rome and Germany for Brooks Sports (soon to be released).
His commercial work is characterized by its sensitive and somewhat abstract approach, which communicates the brand story to the audience on an emotional level. He loves to be heavily involved in the working with the actors to achieve authentic moments for natural performances.
As a commercial director in the Netherlands, Daan happily joined the club of Holy Fools. As a commercial director in Turkey he is exclusively represented by 85/90 Projects.

Draw Poker With Joker
written by: James
Online Poker » Dealers Choice Games » Draw Poker with Joker
Draw Poker with Joker is a more common version of the game as adding the joker to the deck creates a more interesting game. Although jokers are more likely to be used in a game of Draw Poker, the rules on how they are utilized will change from game to game. Typically, most casinos and online poker sites will have stricter rules on joker usage than a home game, though it is always a good idea to check the house rules on jokers before playing.
Draw Poker with Joker Rules
Playing a game of Draw Poker with Joker requires some basic knowledge of how to play Draw Poker. In Draw Poker, players are dealt their entire hand, which is usually five face down cards, at one time. After cards have been dealt, there is a betting round where players are given the option to fold, check or raise the bet. The players will then be allowed to discard part of their hand in exchange for new cards. The rules on how many cards can be changed will vary, but most casinos and online sites will allow you to exchange all five.
In most versions of Draw Poker with Joker, the joker will count as a wild card. This makes it possible for there to be very high hands, such as five of a kind. Typically, you will need a stronger hand to win in a game of Draw Poker with Joker. Most games will use only one joker in the deck, but some house rules will allow for both jokers to be added.
When playing Draw Poker with Joker in a casino or online poker room, it will be considered a bug card and not necessarily a true wild card. When the joker is a bug card it means that the card will automatically act as an ace card, unless it is used to complete a straight, flush or combination of both.
Basic Draw Poker with Joker Strategy
The strategy you should employ when playing Draw Poker with Joker will depend on how valuable the joker is according to the house rules. You should adjust your strategy in games where two jokers are available as even a strong hand using a wild joker can be beaten by a stronger hand with a wild joker. When you have the joker in your hand, you are going to want to keep it, as at the very least you can combine it with the highest card in your hand to make a pair. In Draw Poker with Joker acting as the bug, your strategy should adjust. Since the joker will automatically count as the ace unless a straight or flush occurs, you should play with it as if it were the ace.
