Blue Jackets captain Rick Nash will take part in his fifth consecutive NHL All-Star Game today in Raleigh, N.C., and - as usual - he'll be the club's lone representative.

Blue Jackets captain Rick Nash will take part in his fifth consecutive NHL All-Star Game today in Raleigh, N.C., and - as usual - he'll be the club's lone representative.

Nash is tied for ninth in the NHL with 23 goals, but the Blue Jackets remain mired in their decade-long struggles. They're 13th in the Western Conference and 23rd overall in the league at the break.

How does this sit with the 26-year-old Nash? He sat down with The Dispatch for a one-on-one interview before leaving for North Carolina:

Question: How would you assess the first 49 games of the season, where the Blue Jackets are now heading into the All-Star break?

Answer: It's been tough. You'd like to be a lot more consistent, and if we did that we'd have a lot more wins than we do. But we're still in the race. We still have control of what we do the rest of the way, and we can still make the playoffs.

Q Two years in a row now you guys have gotten off to a great start and then really taken a dive. Does this feel like a recurring memory?

A I don't think it's ever felt like last year - different team, different players, different coaches. It never felt like last year, to me, at least. We just never had the feeling in the room that we had last year.

Q This is five straight All-Star Games for you, which is a pretty impressive feat.

A It's nice, but the best part is getting to represent these guys (his Blue Jackets teammates). These are the guys who get me there. Not too many people outside the hockey world know about the Blue Jackets, so for me it's nice to go there and represent this organization on a pretty big stage.

Q You've always gone solo as a Blue Jacket to the All-Star Game. Wouldn't it be nice, for once, to have a teammate ride shotgun?

A It doesn't matter to me. I'd actually rather these guys all get a break so they regroup mentally and physically to get ready for the tough stretch we have coming up, the rest of the season.

Q Carson Palmer, always the good soldier, has asked to be traded by the Cincinnati Bengals. This is your eighth season with the Blue Jackets, and you're signed through 2017-18, but have you ever considered asking out? Can you ever see it coming to that?

A No. Not right now. I can never see the future, but I plan on being a Blue Jacket. That's why I signed that long-term deal, because I believe in what we're doing here. I believe in the organization and management. If I didn't, if I questioned any of it, I wouldn't have signed that deal.

Q The deal includes no-movement and conditional no-trade clauses, etc. Why are you so convinced that it can turn around here?

A I think it's our young players coming through now. We're competitive. Obviously, that (6-14-4) stretch we went through didn't prove that, but the start of the season and the way we're playing right now does. I believe in what (general manager Scott) Howson and (coach Scott) Arniel are preaching. I think it's a game that works.

Q You didn't know much about Scott Arniel before he got here, right?

A No, I didn't. When I signed the contract, I thought Hitch (former coach Ken Hitchcock) would be here, and we were coming off a playoff season. At the time I believed in what Hitch was doing, and I still have a great relationship with Hitch. But since Arniel's been here, it's been great, too.

Q What do you like about Arniel?

A I like his confidence, the way he acts on the bench. He stays pretty calm. And I like how he gets guys going. I think he's a good fit for our young team.

Q Arniel has gone places that Hitchcock never did, scratching veteran players and top-six forwards. Thoughts on that?

A He's the one who makes the calls at the end of the day. He's an honest guy. There are no empty promises. If he says something's going to happen, it's going to happen.

Q It is a widely held opinion throughout the NHL that Rick Nash has never had a good-enough center next to him. Do you share that opinion?

A It's something I hear all the time, too. I've played with some pretty good centers through the years. I played with Andrew Cassels (2002-03 to 2003-04) and obviously Veebs (David Vyborny) was a winger, but he helped my game a lot. Me and Vermy (Antoine Vermette) have had some chemistry, and obviously me and Brass (Derick Brassard) have had good chemistry this year. I've been happy playing with those guys. But I think anytime you can get a player who improves the team at any position, you'll take it.

Q Are you frustrated at all by the lack of moves, the lack of changes made by Howson from last season until today?

A I don't think so. A couple of weeks ago, when a lot of trade rumors were going on, I said the same thing - I believe in the 22 or 23 guys in this room. I believe we can get the job done. I don't think we're waiting for somebody to come in here and save us. It's kind of a Catch-22, though. If we could get a great player in a trade

Q Attendance is down dramatically this season (2,200 per game). What's your message to the fans?

A We have our loyal fans and we're very thankful for the ones we have. They stick with us when we're down. We've all invested our time and energy in this orgnization, and we're thankful that they have, too.

Q What's your favorite All-Star Game memory?

A Probably the hat trick in Atlanta (2008).

Q That's the same year you scored 12 seconds into the game, right?

A It is, yeah. That was a lot of fun that year. But they're all fun.

Q When you went to the All-Star Game (2003-04), you were a nervous kid in the room with a bunch of older guys, All-Stars, guys you'd been watching on television. What's it like now?

A I'm one of the old guys now. (laughs) The first one I was kind of excited and couldn't wait to get out there. Now I look at it more like a break from the season. I relax. I get there and kind of do my own thing and just relax. It's such a long season. All these guys (his Blue Jackets teammates) are going to be going to a beach, or someplace warm, or they're going back home to relax with family. I'm going to Raleigh. So I'll try to relax there. I've learned how to make it a break.

Q Obviously you're good friends with San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton, but who else do you hang with on these trips?

A There's not really a lot of downtime. When the players are together, the league usually has something organized, something for you to do. So every time I've gone, I've taken some of my buddies and some family members. When you're away from the rink, that's what I do.

Q What do you think of the way the NHL is dividing the teams this year, a draft by the captains?

A I don't know. I'm kind of a traditional guy. It's kind of weird that we're all getting drafted. It's going to be humiliating for whomever goes last. And it might be me. (laughs) (Ed. Note: It wasn't; Toronto's Phil Kessel was the last selection Friday.) I like the traditional East-West setup.

"Heya Girls!"
Away with the angel’s wings, give me a feather boa! Aside from ingenious Christmas-miracle-madness, there’s a bit of a diva-program this week. A woman likes to be a bad girl every so often, after all. We’re talking about the burlesque-musical-show “Ich bin ein Vamp” (I am a vamp), in which Viennese chansonnière and burlesque artist Lou de Boudoir breathes some life into the glamourous world of the Old Style Cabaret. And this is gonna be hot, ladies! Because what started in the 17th century as crass-grotesque slapstick theatre, has long blossomed out to becoming a subtle, elegant erotic art. Today (and only today!) the Austrian version of Dita Van Teese will show how adaptable, sexy, and charming a woman can be. Glamourous evening with chansons, amour-anecdotes, and opulent costumes! If you’re in the mood for a wilder burlesque version, scroll down to Wednesday. Dita, here we come!

Wishing you a diva-like week,
Your CitySpotterGirl

Christmas is a festival full of traditions, memories and customs – and Vienna has its own special customs. Since the Biedermeier period, holidays, recipes, toys, legends and stories about saints have shaped the Christmas celebration in our city. 200 years ago, customs and traditions were born that have a continuing influence to this day. The Royal dynasty, a few aristocratic families and the rising bourgeoisie of the 19th century have played a significant role in it. Today, a guided tour follows their traces through their palaces and apartments to Christkind.

Editor's Welcome

The news on the street is that some new Model S's are being shipped with lane departure and speed assist sensors (see article links below). Also, Tesla's Fremont factory is busy pumping out new cars as they work Saturdays to boost production.

Firmware 6.0 is being rolled out to the Model S owner fleet. While the visual improvement are minor, I view this as a major step toward the Model S becoming more personal. It appears Tesla wants to continually adapt the Model S to meet the owner's needs more over time (as evidenced by Elon's Tweet about 6.0). Basically, it'll be a car that learns the owner's needs and adapts to them over time.

Fun and Perfect Patient Care– All You Need For A Great Practice

Dr. Chris Villanueva, actively practicing Dentist and founder of MB2 Dental, an innovative management network that allows dentists to be dentists- while support staff ensure that the patient receives the best care and service possible. MB2 Dental has expanded to over 80 affiliated dental office around the southern U.S. and Alaska, with over 1000 employees since 2007. Dr. Chris Villanueva had a vision of tailored support systems that were intuitive and focused on patient care. He described MB2 as a fusion of worlds in a recent interview with Ideamensch, of joining an established practice where high-end technology and high traffic and starting a private practice where there is autonomy and ownership. They developed the software the practice uses from the ground up- and all the bumps in the road and frustration getting it off the ground has led to a set of intuitive reporting tools that assist in patient care and administration tasks. MB2’s team uses this data to assist practitioners with challenges they may face- to truly fulfill their needs and help them maintain autonomy in their practice, and Dr. Chris Villanueva’s lacrosse camp.

Dr. Villanueva has experience as a dental associate at a large practice, his own practice, and now MB2 dental. Taking his personal experience and trusted team, they developed the systems and protocols used by MB2 to cater to the practitioner, and by extension, the patients. After the initial growing pains and bumps in the road, his team has developed a system that not only makes reporting patient information easy, but reduces mistakes and allows practitioners to focus on what they’re trained to do: dentistry. An inside joke with his team, they’ve named the system “JARVIS”, akin to “Jarvis” from the Iron Man Franchise. In his recent interview, if given the chance to start MB2 again, the only thing he would change is preparing to scale up and expand earlier. There are always growing pains when expanding, but Dr. Villanueva believes sticking with your core values will allow you to overcome any obstacle- whether it be patient care, expanding, or any number of issues. MB2 Dental’s culture is very new-aged and friendly, with a variety of blog posts featured on their site such as MB2’s Hurricane Relief Efforts and a feature on Lindsey Bunch, Ironman championship participant and MB2’s Director of Operations. In the recent interview mentioned above, Dr. Villanueva’s best recent purchase was on custom nerf guns to keep around the office- more evidence of the laid-back culture behind a great network of dentistry.

A full tinnitus assessment starts with a complete audiological evaluation (CAE) followed by specific tinnitus testing that better identifies the type and magnitude of tinnitus.  A tinnitus evaluation is performed using a “whole” approach that addresses background, experiences, medical history, diet, allergies, level of activity, psychosomatic health and other factors that may contribute to the exacerbation of the sensation of a sound in the ears. Each variable is addressed and modified to best treat the tinnitus from all aspects that may contribute to its presence.

There are Treatments for Tinnitus!

Contrary to popular belief, there are treatments for tinnitus that can be longstanding and successful. The treatment can be lengthy, requires commitment and compliance outside of the therapy office. Treatment methods available include medications, vitamin therapy, masking, specific music therapy, dietary changes, behavioral changes and biofeedback.

Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) is the term used for a precise and individual combination of sound therapy and teaching, demystification, and learning about tinnitus/hyperacusis mechanisms. The program is individualized  with directions about how to return to normal life without provoking symptoms.

TRT consists of fitting a tinnitus masking device. Often, when a person has a hearing loss as well as tinnitus, a hearing aid can also operate as a masking device.

Oftentimes other exercises and behavioral changes are used in conjunction with TRT to maximize success. Dr. Melissa E. Heche is specially trained in tinnitus retraining therapy and has extensive experience in tinnitus treatment. Contact us to find out how we can help your tinnitus.

Alphamatic Simplifies Commerce Through Ariba

Published on 16 March in SAP

WALLDORF — Consumer commerce is easy. With a few clicks you can find what you want, pay for and have it delivered to your doorstep. Alphamatic Systems Sdn Bhd, a leading IT provider based in Selangor, Malaysia, is making business commerce just as simple. And to do it, it’s using Ariba Network, software from Ariba, an SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) company.

For years, processing purchase orders and invoices was mainly a manual process at Alphamatic. This meant tons of paper that was difficult to track, errors that required effort-intensive customer follow up and delays in payments. To remedy the situation, Alphamatic decided to digitize things.

The company joined the Ariba Network and began leveraging the cloud-based applications delivered on it to collaborate on purchase orders (POs) and invoices. It has quickly seen results.

“With the Ariba Network, it is very easy to track POs and invoices online,” said Chan Woei Liang, sales director, Enterprise Business Solutions, Alphamatic Systems. “We’ve reduced the time spent on follow-ups for payment significantly, and have even seen business growth.”

Specifically, the company has achieved:

  • 60 percent reduction in time spent on follow-ups for payment
  • 50 percent faster payment for online invoices
  • 40 percent increase in business from one of its largest customers

“Business is different today. It demands a new, more collaborative way of operating, and Ariba is fueling it by bringing the connectivity and convenience of personal networks to the enterprise,” said Dr. Chakib Bouhdary, president, Ariba. “With Ariba, companies can simplify complex and inefficient processes and enable new ones that enhance their performance and productivity.”

With more than 1.7 million companies connected and transacting over $700 billion in commerce on an annual basis, Ariba Network is the world’s largest, most global business-to-business trading platform. Click here to learn more about the benefits it can deliver to your organization.

The Use of Colors in Poetry

Share Button

Do you remember, from your early education days, how you used to select colors from the Crayola box to color inside the lines? Maybe later on, your grade school teacher, to stimulate your imagination, asked you what any one color looked like, or smelled like, or tasted like.

Poets, too, use their colors to trigger their thinking in similar ways. Most of the time, colors may be used as symbols implying intangibles or concepts.

Here is a short list of color implications in poetry during the recent centuries:

green = jealousy, rebirth, money

purple = royalty, enlightenment, fantasy

pink = happiness

brown = earthly qualities

orange = curiosity, wisdom

gray = depression, defeat, monotony, boredom

gold – happiness

red = anger, danger, war, seduction, passion

black = sorrow or death

white = purity but also death (implied from shroud)

blue= sadness

Aside from their symbolic and impressionistic use, the application of colors has added to the poems’ visuals.

” Sea waves are green and wet,

But up from where they die,

Rise others vaster yet,

And those are brown and dry.”

From Robert Frost’s Sand Dunes

Using colors in poetry goes a long way back in written history. Roman and Greek poets, like the poets of other races, used colors for their strong connections with emotions. For example, Homer used the color of bronze to imply power, and in Roman poetry, certain color combinations especially purple and gold hinted at royalty while red and white meant conquering and other concepts. Virgil alone used over 500 color words in The Aeneid.

“I myself gave him (Ulysses) a sword of bronze and a beautiful purple mantle, double lined, with a shirt that went down to his feet, and I sent him on board his ship with every mark of honor.” From The Odyssey – Book XIX

“And scarce their walls the Trojan troops defend:

The town is fill’d with slaughter, and o’erfloats,

With a red deluge, their increasing moats.”

From The Aeneid – Chapter 10

Later on, Dante used colors vividly to paint his Inferno’s image in the readers’ imaginations.

“Upon a yellow pouch I azure saw

That had the face and posture of a lion.

Proceeding then the current of my sight,

Another of them saw I, red as blood,

Display a goose more white than butter is.

And one, who with an azure sow and gravid

Emblazoned had his little pouch of white,”

From Inferno, Canto XVII by Dante Alighieri

Shakespeare, too, has used colors frequently and also the word color itself by attaching it to other nouns to further paint dramatic word pictures.

Ay, ’tis strong, and it does indifferent well in a

flame-coloured stock. Shall we set about some revels?”

From the Twelfth Night – Act 1, Scene III, by William Shakespeare

During last couple of centuries, the use of colors in poetry has become more subjective; although, the colors were also applied with their actual identities.

“Up rose the merry Sphinx,

And crouched no more in stone;

She melted into purple cloud,

She silvered in the moon;

She spired into a yellow flame;

She flowered in blossoms red;”

From Ralph Waldo Emerson’s The Sphinx

“With snow-white veil and garments as of flame,

She stands before thee, who so long ago

filled thy young heart with passion and woe.”

From Divina Commedia by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Within the circuit of this plodding life

There enter moments of an azure hue,”

From Winter Memories by Henry David Thoreau

“In winter, in my room,

I came upon a worm

Pink, lank, and warm.”

From Emily Dickinson’s ‘In winter, in my room,’

So, next time you sit at your desk with your pen or in front of your computer to write poetry, think about using colors. Maybe you can add another dimension to their usage.

Moving Days (or is it Daze...)

AAH! I think that I just experienced a ten minute vacation. I just had a hot shower (!!) and to make it even better I found some relaxing body wash that someone had left behind in the guest house. You can’t really appreciate a hot shower until you have endured at least 5 cold ones –it doesn’t really matter what the temperature is outside. It was a little piece of heaven.
Yesterday was our moving day from one guest house to another (hence the hot shower!). We woke in the morning to streams of rain running off the roof just outside our window and the occasional gust that sprayed us with the fresh rain. So we gave thanks for the rain, because Niamey really needs it and because it brought cool weather, and then asked a selfish prayer that the rain would stop just long enough for us to load the car and make the trips to the next guest house. Praise God for answered prayer, we got here fairly dry. But, that was only the first part of the day, we also had the excitement of trying to get Cole out of a bathroom that he locked himself into. Then we went house hunting…
House hunting is an adventure here, especially because it is rainy season. We hired someone to look for houses for us, so he travels on foot through the neighbourhoods that we are interested in and talks to the guards at the houses that seem to be reasonably well finished (a lot of the houses in the neighbourhoods that we are considering are still under construction). If the house is for rent he gets a look at it and then gives us a call to come and look at it as well. Part of the fun is trying to find the house in a car when he has been circling the neighbourhood on foot. In addition to finding the house the other trick is to get there on washed out roads in an old Toyota Corolla that doesn’t have four wheel drive! Talk about mud bogging! Yesterday we even saw five kids playing in the street in a puddle that was about 20 feet across and about a foot deep. I wish I would have had my camera! (Sorry the pictures are from our other stay here—I’ll try and get some new ones).
We have also seen some interesting houses. One of the first houses that we looked at had a kitchen with two to three inches of water from wall to wall and continued down one hall. The showers can be placed in interesting places as well because most of the locals don’t use a shower curtain. We had a friend tell us that when the guest house that we last stayed at was being built the first shower was installed in such a way that it was located directly over the toilet, so that you had to stand with one foot in the shower and one foot on the floor next to the toilet. (It would have stayed that way too if the inspector hadn’t taken a sledge hammer to the work after telling the crew to change it four or five times!). Please keep praying for us as we search!

Day 6: Tournament Challenge "The Quest for Mediocrity"

It started with a sniffle of bad beats and ended with a loud sneeze of “WHY ME” after being outdrawn in a cash game. A viral infection of crabbiness mixed with running bad is a sign to walk away. Anyone got a flu shot?

No poker tonight.

I’m going to catch up on WSOP viewing and see what all the hype about Tiffany Williamson is all about with a nice bowl of peppermint bon-bon ice cream and go nowhere near the virtual felt tonight.

Day 6:

PokerStars NLHE $20 +$2 180 person SnG
Full Tilt NLHE $20 + $2 9 person SnG
PokerStars PLO8 $10 + $1 9 person SnG

After the first MTT of the evening I quickly figured that putting money into other MTTs would be a total waste of cash (as if me playing tournaments isn’t already a vortex of dead money). The beats keep coming, and I keep losing. I stayed aggressive, ahead of the blinds, stole when I could, backed off when I knew I was beat but it just wasn’t meant to be once again as I failed to make the first break AGAIN in the 180 person SnG.

You must be playing like shit Drizz.

Quite possible, I can’t explain my horrible track record with MTTs. I could point to the bad beats, but shouldn’t those even out “over time”. Is it possible to run badly for more then six months? The impending doom of any hand where I’m not a favorite by 11:1 gets me ready to hit the “ok” button with the “you’ve finished 178th place, nice going idiot!!” dialog box.

Bad attitude?

Step right up, I got plenty of it. And I have no remedy for it. Books? I suppose some more books may help, but do they really keep me in the game when I get outdrawn night after night? Get over yourself? Done, a looooooong time ago. I don’t see myself as a good player, but I’d love to have just a spoonful of sugar to make the medicine go down Ms. Poppins.

I follow the Theory of Poker and “play my hand as if the cards were face up”, you WANT to get your money in when you feel like you’re in a dominate position. If I were to play meekly in those situations then I would be costing myself money, correct Mr. Sklansky? When I get my money in with AKs vs . 86o and flop a King, I should be happy, right?

In a few interviews Greg Raymer stresses his ability to make good decisions and not worry about the results. We know tonight he’s going to be tested by this statement with the monster suckout that knocks him out of the tournament after five long days (sorry for the spoiler).

If he can handle it, why can’t I? The answer is probably why I’m a cube monkey, and he’s traveling the poker circuit with a platinum WSOP bracelet on his wrist.

In a cash game, draws are completed without proper odds, but it doesn’t bother me as much because I usually understand the nature of the draw, and why the person did it (in PLO8 that is). I might not like it immediately, but I’ll understand it. Outdraw me in a tournament and I’m bound to tilt, because I don’t understand risking all of those chips as a huge underdog. Whine whine whine.

I tried this challenge to myself to see if it was bad play or bad beats that was preventing me from cashing consistently in MTTs. Even though 20-25 tournaments in a very small sample, it’s a mirror to how bad I’ve been running for the past six or so months with tournaments.

PokerStars NLHE $20 + $2 180 person SnG: Won a close race early with QQ vs. 22, but managed to succumb to the table maniac getting beat with QQ vs. TT, AK vs. KQ, and my favorite AKs vs. 86s after flopping a king and getting beat by rivered trips. Out 83rd out of 180. This tourney was the final straw. I know “look at the long run” and all that jazz, but every person has a breaking point, and I reached mine. Tourneys are done for a long while, unless it’s to have fun with other bloggers.

Full Tilt NLHE $20 + $2 9 person SnG: Ran right into the face of a card rack, who hit his cards while I stood back and looked for a spot. Got AT vs. his KT in for a pre-flop raise with the flop coming out KKQ, no jack for me and I was crippled. I pushed on the button with K8 to see his AK. Out 5th out of 9

PokerStars PLO8 $10 + $1 9 person SnG: Ah, home sweet home. I have forgotten that Stars had regular PLO8 SnGs and decided if I going to steam thru another tourney, I might as well do it with my favorite game. I took 2nd. CASHOLA! Was behind starting heads-up but I couldn’t do much because my opponent was very aggressive and very good about picking his spots. Tip of the cap to him. Out 2nd of 9. Winnings $27.00

Total amount spent (to date): -$308.50
Total amount won (to date): +$83.56
Cash game winning/loses: +$ 275.00
Balance: +$50.06

I will follow through on this challenge tomorrow, playing in one more 180 person SnG and hopefully a mixed game MTT at Full Tilt. Wish me luck and no whammies.

Thanks for dropping by, now check out some of the “new” additions to my blogroll on the right. My apologies for not adding them sooner, but I’m lazy and have trouble breathing and typing at the same time.

I'm No Iron Man

96 hours in Vegas. 4.5 hours of sleep. Gallons of Captain Morgan consumed.

Yet I couldn’t make it past the beginning of “What’s Hot in Vegas 2006” on TLC at 7pm. Man, I feel like a whiny professional athlete who put himself on the IR for a hangnail. I remember making dinner (Pork Chops and Taters) for the lovely wife and Little Drizz. Then, I crashed on the couch with anticipation of firing up the new Gateway and logging in another night towards the Iron Man contest on Full Tilt as soon as they both retired for the night. But, true to wuss-like form, I woke up to Ken Barlow on the 10pm news telling us about the mild winter that continues today and quickly diving into my bed. In Minnesota, mild winter temperatures being in the teens rather then the usual snozz busting 20 below.

Can I still blame these flu symptoms on Monkey Patient Zero?

I await the the 103 degree temps, inability to move, cold sweats, constant smokers cough mixed with a barrel of lungbutter. Instead I get the slow burn of headache, fatigue, and leaky nose faucet. More annoying then painful, kind of like listening to Mr. Britney Spears’ new single while receiving a dual VIP lap dance at Scores.

Tomorrow night is the DADI: PLO8 tourney at Stars (8 o’clock CST, password: blogsaregay). Anyone have a PLO8 primer I can borrow?

Here’s primer everyone should be reading, you can’t go wrong with JoeSpeaker’s advice on Pauly’s site.

Simply fan-tab-u-los-sus!

What Tom Emanski does for youth baseball, John Basedow does for home fitness, JoeSpeaker does for teaching the ins-and-outs of low buy in Multi Table Tourneys. GOLD BABY GOLD! And he does it while not mentioning his back-to-back-to-back AAU championships or making the Crime Dog look like a dufus in a $.49 trucker’s cap. The post contains flair without the cockiness that this MTT crusher could show. Titled “JoeSpeaker’s Low Buy-In Online Tournament Manifesto Version 1.0”, the post takes you through the important parts of any large low-buy in freezeout MTT.

Personally being an unsuccessful tournament player, my greatest weakness (besides losing coin flips with NASA-like accuracy) is his tip #3 subtitled “Hour Two”

3. Don't Be a Pussy. By the end of the second hour, you are likely within sight of the bubble. Don't take the tack that cashing is your first priority. Going deep is your first priority. You are not going to get a solid return on investment from multi-table tournaments if you settle for minor awards. The big money is at the Final Table and a couple trips there can pay for months of bubble finishes. Yes, it can be frustrating to bubble, especially if you have a stack that was comfortably positioned near par. But that stack is going to get eaten up quickly while players accumulate around you. While protecting it may get you a small profit, you'll be at a disadvantage once you are in the money, as the large stacks will happily call your all-ins with garbage and suck out.

I tend to look at “cashing” too much since it doesn’t happen very often for this self-proclaimed Sleprock of tournaments. Woe-is-me. Granted I don’t tighten up to the point where I only play AA, KK, AK nor do I give up many prime blind stealing chances, but I do play like a pussy sometimes when I shouldn’t. An excellent example of this happened in a SnG over the weekend.
With four players left (three make the money) I was left with T52 while in the BB after posting, a fellow shortstack with only T48 more in chips goes all-in UTG and gets called by the two large stacks. What’s your play here (cards are inconsequential)? Fold, and there’s a 2/3 chance of the shortstack getting bounced and taking home 3rd place. Call and there’s a ¾ chance of losing $XX.XX for 3rd place. Can I cop out and say the play was +EV? Probably not. Sadly, the fold button was too enticing as I committed the cardinal sin of poker.

I looked at the money instead of the win.

Plays like that hurt a player more then losing a bucket full of coin flips and bad beats. It’s a reminder that YOU control the action pre-flop, not the cards. So, take the metrosexual’s advice and “Don’t Be a Pussy”, your bankroll and sanity will thank you.

Thanks for dropping by, now here’s an article on how bad web applications can cause bad publicity. Take note PartyPoker.

Wal-Mart Sees How Fast Bad Press Spreads Online
By Frank Ahrens
Sunday, January 8, 2006; F07
Used to be, when you were angry with a corporation or a government or even a person, you had to stand outside the building and hold a sign, or at least yell a lot.

Your distribution -- and potential impact -- was limited to the range of your voice or the size of the letters on your sign. If you hoped for a wider audience, you had to hector the local television news to show up. If you got really lucky, its feed was picked up by the networks, and you'd get 30 seconds at the end of the evening news.

But now, you can go from zero to global in a matter of minutes, as Wal-Mart painfully found out last week.

Early Thursday afternoon, some bloggers discovered a horrifying sight: Wal-Mart's retail Web site was telling potential buyers of "Planet of the Apes" DVDs that they might also like to buy DVDs featuring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., black boxing legend Jack Johnson and black actress Dorothy Dandridge. In another nasty linkage, those titles were also recommended to buyers of a "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" DVD.

Perceived racism is like anthrax to a company: potentially deadly and hard to clean off. The graveness of the situation was reflected in Wal-Mart's quick public apology, in which it said it was "heartsick" over the incident.

As of late Friday, the Bentonville, Ark., retail giant insisted its site was not hacked. Instead it called the unfortunate product linkage a problem involving its "mapping" technology. On a retail site, mapping takes product titles -- books, CDs, DVDs, etc. -- and thematically links them to other products. It has turned out to be a powerful consumer theory, made popular by Amazon.com, based on the assumption that consumers will buy other stuff if it's similar to the stuff they just bought.

The first time I noticed this practice was nearly a decade ago on one of the early versions of http://www.allmusic.com/ . I'd look up a signer, say, Joe Jackson, and the site listed "similar artists," such as Elvis Costello and Graham Parker. I thought, "How'd they know I liked those guys, too?" Turns out, like most of us, I'm pretty predictable. Only rabidly self-conscious and eclectic hipsters can outsmart The Map. Wal-Mart's mapping technology is based on the same cross-referenced affinity-link assumptions as Allmusic's.

But as mega-corps such as Wal-Mart, Amazon and Target profit from the Web, they are discovering it has drawbacks, as well. Indeed, Wal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, has found a bull's-eye on its back bigger than Target's.

Anti-Wal-Mart sites, such as http://www.againstthewal.com/ and http://www.walmartwatch.com/ , blast the company for what they consider poor practices and all manner of evils, from driving local retailers out of business to paying its employees low wages.

As happened with the supposed Air National Guard service records of President Bush and countless lesser stories, the Web -- bloggers, alt-news sites and so forth -- can now drive mainstream news coverage. Folks who never read a blog but read papers and watch the news now know that significant anti-Wal-Mart sentiment exists.

Thursday was a bad day for critical thought. It was amazing, frankly, how quickly some bloggers were ready to believe that Wal-Mart linked its "Planet of the Apes" DVDs to black-themed DVD titles on purpose. Aside from kiddie porn and e-mail scams, this is perhaps the most troubling trait of the Internet: Rather than opening minds, it can close them, thanks to echo-chamber Web sites and blogs.

Which, coincidentally, works on the same premise as retail-site mapping. We like to read Web sites and blogs that we agree with and that reinforce our opinions. Aside from the few of you who practice "know your enemy" browsing, how many of you liberals read http://www.nationalreview.com/ ? How many of you conservatives frequent http://www.thenation.com/ ?

People who hate Wal-Mart are going to flock to anti-Wal-Mart sites and blogs. And they did in droves on Thursday, writing sentiments along the lines of, "Well, what do you expect from a company that has non-progressive labor rules?" In other words: "Well, of course Wal-Mart is racist. Look at how they engage in various practices we don't agree with."

Kind of makes me nostalgic for the old days, when the only damage a kook with a sign and a bullhorn could do was annoy people on the sidewalk.

I'm Tired of the Bashing........

Are you tire of the bashing people give:

Well, your aren't the only ones..........

Here's a comment from one lady..........

 OMGOSH you people with your "killer" comments are just nuts! The kid got out of his car and went toward Tonys car...in a POORLY LIT area. Tony can be harsh at times when the race is going on and the adrenaline is flowing but he's no intentional killer. He's a very giving man and will treat you with the same respect given. I get that people think they know everything but you apparently don't know him.
Move on already.

The kid had just smoked weed, before entering his race car.

Myself - Self Introduction

Hi All,
There was a speech competition in our Ladies Club on the occasion of International Women's Day. Because of the time limitations and my job, I was not sure about my participation.But our President was keen on my participation. She wanted me to take part in it. Last night I started writing and as I was not feeling well, I stopped in the middle and went to sleep. Early in the morning., when I woke up for my daughter's study, I thought let me finish it at least. And I could finish it within half an hour. I know I would have written still beautifully, because of my laziness, I missed the first prize.  Here is the speech which I gave and got the second prize, The prize was not only for the content, the judges looked for the presentation, the way we deliver the speech, the confidence and  many things. I will upload the video as soon as I get it.

I started my speech with a lines in "Sheila ki jawani" tune(one of our member started crying when she finished giving her speech, I wanted everyone feel light and happy and I was succeeded in it)
My name is Nivedita...
yeh hai meri Kahani,
yeh hai thodi lambi...,
lekin bore na aani" :-)))))
Good evening everyone,
Wishing all of you a very "Happy International Women's day"

When I was born, everyone was smiling
and only I was crying,
My wish is that,
when I die,
Only I should be smiling and
everyone should be crying"
Beautiful lines said by some great person.

Don't you think we all should lead a life like that?
I am here to say about myself, express myself.In this world who will give you chance to talk about yourself?
I want to thank Vinaya aunty and Niharika Mahila Mandal for choosing such a wonderful subject.

When I was born,
my mother wanted me to become number one
but, I became jack of all, master of none!!

She wanted me to become a dancer, I joined the class,
and passed two exams,
but, now dancing on the tunes
of my kids and my husband.

I was scared to enter the swimming pool,
I used to goto a lake to wet my clothes
and show to mom that I attended
the class, until a day she caught me red haded.
Then, I was a Swimming champion,
and I become fish in the water.

I joined to play basketball.
May be I dreamt of becoming  next Michael Jordan,
But, I forgot, it needs lot of hard work and practice,
I remained only a state level player.

I was scared of Mathematics,
always got 3 out of 25!
I would love to thank my sir, who taught me in 10std,
he taught me to love this subject and I scored
97 out of 100 in board exam.

Everyone wished that I should finish Home science
and build my career,
but, may be I set a rule to go against the world,
I took a course to build  other's dream house.
In my college, I was the only girl with 100 boys.
I was pampered like a princess, who says boys are bad?

I am a bookworm, read while I cook also,
Read many good books which inspires me to lead a good life.

Computer is my another baby, with which I play around,
I have done many courses, and can repair my own computer :-)

I was shy till I reached twenty five,
But when I joined SSY,
I became bold to talk in front of
as many people as the stars in the sky!!

I never wished to be a working woman,
but, as soon as I finished the course,
I joined a firm and working till now.

I waited 7 years to get the blessings from our parents,
I am lucky to have a good life partner,
My waiting brought the sweet fruits.

'I am a very good wife',
says my husband,
he is lucky to have me in his life,
he repeats often,
I do not believe in it,
as I know how bad I am.

I could see the other part of the world
after the marriage,
which made me more aware about the outside world,
I am thankful to my husband who always supported me to explore new things.

I am always dedicated towards my work.
Love to work under pressure,
thats why I managed the branch office alone,
while working in Sharjah.

"You are a very bad mother, look others,
they never hit their children"
this is what my daughter says sometimes,
but the same girl
says many times
"I am the best mother she could ever get"
and presses my legs
and brings tears in her eyes,
If I get even a headache.
There are countless hugs and kisses from
my younger daughter,
to show her love to me
as she is too young to speak properly

Entered the kitchen at the age of seven,
learnt to cook full meals when I reached eleven,
still love to try to cook new food.
I eat anything that is edible.
Have my own blog, where I have written
more than 400 recipes,
having more than 160 followers from all over the world.

I keep writing my feelings in my blog,
written few stories and few poems,
that makes me an intellectual person.:-)

Changed the fields to build my career,
from Civil Engineer to Office administrator to a teacher,
Don't know where my life will take me,
But I promise to give my best in everything I do.

I am not sure whether I proved to be a good daughter
I am not sure what my kids will think about me when they grow big,
I will always give my best.

If I can not be a river,
I want to be a drop in an ocean,
each drop makes the ocean big.
Being a grand daughter of Freedom fighters,
I love my country
I love to do any thing for it.

I thank my parents for giving me such a wonderful life and my brother who is my backbone and with whom I discuss anything under the Sun.

I would love to finish my Introduction with the same lines:

When I die,
I want all of you to cry.

Thank you so much..

This was my speech.
Every one said that the speech was very good, the voice was very soft with variations where ever required. I did not stammer any where....
Waiting for the video..
Read and let me know your views or thoughts.

  1. Very Well Written Nivedita!!! Congrats on getting the Prize!!

Water Studies: Plagiarism Review

Suggested sources for information on Water Studies

Academic Integrity

Students @ NMC are held to the following Academic Code of Behavior--

   1. Cheating or Plagiarism:  Cheating or plagiarism on written or oral examinations, quizzes, papers, or other academic work is prohibited. Cheating is defined as falsifying data on a report, exam, summary, or paper; the giving or receiving of aid in an examination situation; and/or the use of unauthorized materials as an aid during an examination. Plagiarism consists of offering as one’s own work, the words, ideas, or arguments of another person, without appropriate attribution by quotation, reference, or footnote. Plagiarism occurs both when the words of another are reproduced without acknowledgment, and when the ideas or arguments of another are paraphrased in such a way as to lead the reader to believe that they originated with the writer.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Plagiarism: Fact & Fiction

Plagiarism gets a lot of press these days, but it is not a new concept.  The academic community has for centuries grappled with the issue of how to share ideas while giving credit where credit is due. Author Alexander Lindey notes, "Derived from the Latin work plagairius (kidnapper), plagiarism refers to a form of cheating that has been defined as "the false assumption of authorship: the wrongful act of taking the product of another person's mind, and presenting it as one's own" (Lindey, 1952, 2).  Take the time to understand how you can avoid plagiarism by correctly attributing and citing sources.

For students writing papers, the most frequent academic integrity violation is Plagiarism, which involves using the ideas and words of another without giving credit.

  • Sometimes it can be hard to determine if you have plagiarized or not.  While it may not seem like a big deal, plagiarism is really a form of stealing and it not appropriate in the academic or professional environment. Students have failed courses, writers have lost jobs and scholar reputations have been diminished by plagiarism.

  • The online environment provides additional temptatins to plagiarize as it is easy to copy and past information from the Web. Instructors know this and are able to diagnosis plagiarism. The good news? It is easy to avoid Plagiarism.
  1. Here are some guidelines to help:

    When directly quoting from an article or book, always provide an in-text citation with the author's name and the page number of the quote (follow the format assigned by your instructor).  Your reference list will supply the full citation, but the in-text citation alerts the reader you are using another's idea and gives the author the credit they deserve.

  2. Paraphrasing involves putting another's information into your own words and, like a direct quote, requires an in-text citation.  In this case, however, you do not need to use quote marks or provide the exact page number, but you do need an in-text cite with the author's name, which signals to the reader you have paraphrased. Generally, this in-text cite some at the end of a paragraph where you have paraphrased.

  3. Ask your instructor if you are unsure about a particular situation. In general, if you are in doubt, cite the source!

Praetorian Mortar team!

Well I have two photos of my converted mortar team. I still have to flock the bases, but I am a bit strapped for time with the holidays in full swing.

I simply took the little drummer boy, and cut the drum off. Then with a plastic tube from a ball point pen and a bent paper clip I have Mcgivered a mortar team. I may add a third guy, and an ammo box on the base, but this is a good start.

Back at you Lucky Joe!!!!!

PS I should change the back drop to my light box.
