As a poker player you will make a significant amount of money by simply knowing when to fold. In fact Kenny Rogers sang in The Gambler: "You got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em," so it must be true.
A common problem among losing players is their inability to let go of a hand, regardless of how the board reads or the action of the other players in the hand. It is as if they are wearing blinkers that prevent them from seeing any danger before them.
Beginners often struggle with folding their Texas poker hands pre-flop. They will play any ace or any two suited cards regardless of their position or whether or not there has been a raise in front of them. Developing a solid starting hand strategy is a key stage of learning when to fold, and if done correctly will see you folding around 80% of your hands if you are a tight players and 65-70% if you are loose.
Once a player learns how to fold pre-flop, they then encounter problem situations on the flop, turn and river. We have all come across players who will chase a flush draw or straight draw without the correct odds or implied odds to do so. It is sometimes correct to draw but if it is a weak draw you are often better off folding rather than risking making an expensive second-best hand.
The most common scenario when a player should fold but does not is when they hold a pair of aces. People see the best pre-flop hand in poker and automatically think they are entitled to win and that their hand is invincible. Although aces are a very strong hand you should be prepared to put them in the muck if the situation dictates it. Like everything in poker it is player specific, but some examples of when it could be time to fold aces include three and four flushed boards when you do not have one of the suits, when an extremely tight player raises you on a low unconnected board or when the board contains possible straights such as JT9.
Just remember that winning poker starts with folding many hands pre-flop and then also assessing your hand's strength on each street based on the information you can gather. If in doubt what is the right move, it is usually best to fold.
The first is when a Queen hits on the flop giving me trips.
Just give them an invitation to play and if they join
up, you get the credit. You will not play many hands
early on but when you do you should be winning and hopefully
increased your stack by a decent amount for the middle rounds, 4 or 5 onwards.

Artemis (月の女神アルテミス, Tsuki no Megami Arutemisu) is the goddess of the moon, the hunt and virginity, and twin sister of Apollo, god of the sun. In Kurumada's mythos, she is also the elder sister of the protector goddess of Earth Athena.
She first appeared in only one out of the five Saint Seiya teathrical releases: Saint Seiya Tenkai-Hen Josō Overture, as it follows the author Masami Kurumada's true chronology and manga plot. In the same way as her brother Apollo, not much has been revealed about Artemis, although she was recently introduced by Kurumada in his manga Saint Seiya, in chapter 15 of his current work Saint Seiya Next Dimension, the canonical continuation of his original manga.
Although it should be noted that the depiction of the character in the mentioned media varies to some extent, both conceptually and design-wise.
In early interviews about the eventual Heaven chapter of his manga, Kurumada stated that he wanted the Olympic Pantheon from Greek mythology to make an appearance, once he had finished the Hades arc. He wanted to introduce 12 divinities, to use both as antagonist or allies to Athena's Saints. Apollo was one of the gods he wanted to use, as well as Zeus, king of the Greek gods, whom he drew in an early conceptual sketch published in the Saint Seiya Encyclopedia.
At first, Kurumada wanted to publish the Heaven Chapter in manga form, written and drawn by him, as the fourth act of his popular comic Saint Seiya, but later, he decided to present the project in OVA format, beginning with a movie that would serve as opening for the Chapter (hence the name Overture), and continue the story with the progressive release of OVAs. In Overture, Artemis plays an important role, as her participation is even longer than that of her brother Apollo.
Unfortunately, Kurumada and Toei Animation (producer company of the anime adaptation and the movies of Saint Seiya) had discrepancies regarding the script, because the Heaven Chapter started right after the death of Hades, and those critical points of Kurumada's manga (the Hades arc of the manga was still unfinished in the anime, the finding of Seiya's sister Seika, the death of Hades, to name a few) had yet to be reached by the anime adaptation, and thus Toei thought changes to the script were needed to be made, to make the movie understandable to audiences familiarized more with the anime adaptation than Kurumada's published manga. Kurumada was unhappy with the results and the Heaven Chapter project fell apart, so Artemis' participation in the Saint Seiya universe was cut short, until Kurumada decides to retake the project of publishing his Heaven Chapter, this time, in manga form, as he afterward realized it to be the best choice.
Kurumada didn't reveal much about how Artemis incarnates on Earth. But she seems to have a body of her own, and does not need a human as a vessel for her soul, unlike Poseidon and Hades. Athena recognized Artemis instantly the moment she arrived, which suggests that Artemis' body is her own, from the times of myth.
Abilities and attributes
She also has an army of female guardians at her disposal, known as the Satellites, who are lead by one of her servants, known as Callisto.
In the Tenkai-Hen Josō Overture movie, it is clearly stated that she is the goddess of the moon, and thus, she rules over it and the night, being able of turning day into night instantly at will. It is not stated in the movie, but it is implied that she is also the goddess of hunt, as her weapon of choice is a bow, which she tried to use to kill her older sister Athena. Unlike her rendition in Next Dimension, Artemis doesn't have an army of female guardians, but she relies on servants called Angels to protect and serve her. Also, in the movie, some of Athena's Saints switch their loyalties from Athena to Artemis.
In both interpretations of the character, as a deity, Artemis' Cosmo is far superior to that of humans.
In Overture, she also possesses the ability to walk in the sky. She apparently has the ability to distort reality to some extent, as she altered Athena's Sanctuary appearance greatly, when her younger sister surrendered the control of Earth to her.
The serene goddess of the moonHades, was left cursed, confined to a wheelchair and with his Cosmo depleted. (In Kurumada's original script for the movie, it was not Athena who was taking care of Seiya, but his sister Seika, with whom he was reunited after the death of Hades.)
In a similar way to Greek mythology, Artemis is a beautiful young woman, with long, wavy green hair, dressed in semitransparent silk robes. She radiates serenity, and seriousness. She seems colder and less expressive than her older sister, and though she may be forgiving and benevolent, she can also be stern and merciless.
After Poseidon's defeat and Hades' death, the Olympian Gods had decided that Athena and humans had offended them for rebelling against them, and passed sentence, which was, eradication of mankind, starting with Athena's Saints, apparently not caring that Poseidon and Hades had been trying to wipe humans and that the Saints were trying to save their own race from extinction. Artemis sent her servants, the Angels, to consummate the sentence, killing Pegasus Saint Seiya first. The Angels were unable to accomplish their mission, due to Saori Athena's intervention, so Artemis decided to arrive at the scene. Meeting her younger sister, Artemis informed her of the decision of the Olympian deities. Athena, never willing to abandon mankind, asked for mercy for it, by telling her older sister that she would surrender the control of Earth to her, if she could forgive mankind for its sins against the gods. Athena also said, that, in exchange for forgiveness for mankind, she would never allow her Saints to raise again in battle under her banner, and that she would strip them of their Sainthood, allowing them to live a normal life at last.
Agreeing to Athena's proposal, Artemis was handed by her the Niké Staff, symbol of her power and control over Earth. Artemis said before leaving that she would pretend humans didn't exist, but if they dared to offend the gods again, she wouldn't be to blame for their eradication. The goddess of the moon told Athena to rejoin the Greek gods in Olympus. So saying, Artemis left, taking the Niké Staff with her, and now endowed with all Athena's attributes and control over Earth.
Jabu, Ichi and Shaina : Artemis' Saints?Jabu, Ichi and Shaina, who had renounced to being Athena's Saints. Screenshot from Tenkai-Hen Josō Overture. After Athena surrendered Earth, all her attributes became Artemis'. And so became Athena's Sanctuary at Greece, which was strangely altered by the goddess of the moon upon becoming her possession.
Because Athena had forsaken Earth, Athena's Saints found themselves in a dilemma. Among them, Bronze Saints Hydra Ichi and Unicorn Jabu, along with Silver Saint Ophiuchus Shaina. All of them thought that since there weren't a protector goddess of Earth anymore, they had been abandoned by her, and therefore, they were no longer her Saints, and so they sought a new deity to pledge their loyalty to, and they found it in Artemis.
Angels : servants of the OlympiansShiryu and Hyoga are all more or less destroyed in their respective battles against the Angels.
- Icarus (イカロス, Ikarosu)
- Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa, Fumiko Inoue (as a child)
- The only human among the angels. He gives up his humanity to serve Artemis in order to be powerful like a god, and also turns out to be Tōma (斗馬?), the long lost brother of Marin. However, by the end of the movie, he sacrifices himself to protect Athena. He attacks with gold spears and electric charges. His finishing move is "Highest Altitude". He is supposed to have the same stats and attributes as Seiya, as they are the same size and share the same birthday. He was mentioned by Shaina in the original manga series, although his name was not revealed.
- Based on Icarus, son of Daidalos; he flew too near the sun with wax-attached wings, then he fell into the sea and drowned.
- Odysseus (オデュッセウス, Odyusseusu)
- Voiced by: Hiroki Takahashi
- He attacks with Energy Spheres and absorbs energy attacks, and he can redirect or combine them with his own power to make a reverse attack. He is defeated by both Hyōga and Shiryū. Much of the fight initially happens off-screen; Seiya, after regaining the Pegasus Cloth, stumbles upon Shiryu and Hyoga, who have already taken a beating from Odysseus, and Odysseus has smashed their cloths off-screen. Seiya then also takes a vicious beating from Odysseus and has his cloth shattered as well. However, Shiryu and Hyoga are able to energize their Cosmos and finally (though just barely) kill Odysseus with a combined attack.
- Odysseus (Ulysses): King of Ithaca; husband of Penelope; wandered ten years after fall of Troy before arriving home.
- Theseus (テセウス, Teseusu)
- Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa
- He uses wings to attack. Arguably the weakest of the 3 Angels, his finishing move is a Solar Beam. He tends to fly more than the other Angels, and is the first of the Angels to be defeated, by both Shun and Ikki. Unlike Odysseus, he does not or is unable to shatter Ikki and Shun's Bronze Cloths. Although Ikki's attack is the one that finishes him off, Ikki would not have been able to achieve the victory without Shun's help, as Shun distracts Theseus using the 'Nebula Chain' and 'Nebula Storm' attacks.
- Named after Theseus, son of Aegeus; slew Minotaur; married and deserted Ariadne; later married Phaedra.
Saint Seiya: Next Dimension
Artemis has been confirmed as a canonical character within the universe of Saint Seiya by her apparition in Kurumada's current work, Saint Seiya Next Dimension sequel official of Saint Seiya. Artemis was mentioned by her name by Athena, who called her the goddess of the moon and younger sister to her, as well as telling Andromeda Shun to accompany her to Artemis' temple.
Artemis by Next Dimension also appears in the manga Saint Seiya Saintia Sho. A clear link between Saint Seiya Next Dimension and Saintia Sho.
Artemis is the Goddess of the Moon and Hunting, and the elder sister of Athena.
Try to pay Athena for killing Hades and lock Poseidon. But Athena first asks if she can go back in time to save Pegasus from Hades's sword. Athena thought of this because she and Apollo are the leaders of the Sun (Apollo) and the moon (Artemis) but she says no, even if they wanted, as they can not because they just watch over time, only Kronos has that power to which Athena seeks.
Artemis has the lunar symbol on her forehead. In addition, She wears golden armor (probably her divine armor), which covers her body elegantly. She also has a golden scepter, like spear sharp. She lives on Mount Olympus, in the Shrine of the Moon (located at the foot of the sacred mountain), protected by her warriors, ther Satellites. Callisto is the commander of the Satellites and the personal guard of Artemis.
Artemis use his scepter as a sharp sickle. It demonstrated its ability to distort space. Also Artemisa controls the movement of the Moon.
- So far, only few of the twelve Olympian gods have been fully revealed by Kurumada: (1) Artemis, (2) her twin brother Apollo, (3) Poseidon, (4) Hades, (5) Zeus (is mentiones anime and manga) and obviously (5) Athena. Ares is mentioned in vol.1 of his manga.

Princess Zelda is the fictional character from The Legend of Zelda series. She is a member of Hyrule's royal family and plays an integral role in Hyrule's history. Though she is the eponymous character, the player controls the main protagonist, Link. Zelda is usually kidnapped or imprisoned by Ganon, also known as Ganondorf. In some games, she appears as one of the sages. In Ocarina of Time and The Minish Cap, she displays other magical powers, such as energy blasts and force fields. Creator Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that her name was inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald, the wife of American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald.

A really successful Summer Foodbank Collection last weekend. Fulwood residents have again been very generous and we managed to fill 30 crates with food and other items. They also donated more than £140, the highest figure for any of our collections to date, which will be used to buy the items most needed by the S6 Foodbank.
Chris Hardy, the S6 Foodbank Coordinator said "Thankyou so much guys, we really needed these donations to help us meet the extra demand during the summer holidays. Many thanks to all the Fulwood Labour volunteers and also to the generous people of Fulwood." One of the volunteers running the stall commented "I am always so impressed by the generosity of Fulwood people at these foodbank collections. They revive my faith in the kindness of strangers to each other".

Hi, I'm Danny.
I'm a web and graphic designer in Asheville, NC. I have been designing professionally for over 12 years. I began by designing websites and merchandise for local bands and businesses. From there I spent several years in the sign and digital printing industry where I was fortunate enough to learn how to take a design from a concept all the way to a finished, tangible product.
I'm passionate about branding. I enjoy working with clients who are starting a new business venture or personal project and bringing their vision to life. I also enjoy breathing new life into an existing brand. I feel very fortunate to do what I love for a living. I care about what I do and I feel that it shows in my work. If you'd like to start a project together contact me and I will get back to you right away! I look forward to working with you soon.
What others are saying!
Patience with non-Web folks is a virtue, and Danny Moore has it in spades when it comes to helping out our team with websites, e-newsletters and custom HTML requests – often given to him at the last minute. His web design skills constantly amaze me.
Danny is absolutely amazing! I was referred to him by another happy client. Not only was he professional and timely, but most importantly he understood what I wanted and created it. I could not be happier with the outcome of the services he provided.
We switched our design and internet services to Danny Moore because we felt the money we were paying a large web design company was not useful. Danny was great to work with on revisions and updates, we highly recommend him.

Thank you so much for including me on your blog! And I'm happy to hear that my artwork made your day a bit better. Everyone has those down days, but you'll be fabulous tomorrow! 🙂
Am I hot or not? I'm thinking not.
So I walk into Starbucks this morning to get my fix and can't help but notice a guy checking me out. I think to myself, "Hey, I may be 34, have two kids, no sleep, great hubby, two stinky dogs, and one needy cat, but I've still got it. I'm looking good. Real good." Sometimes it just feels good to get checked out.
And then I got into the elevator at work and saw my reflection – my freaking black eye looks hideous. I'm a monster. In conclusion, it turns out the dude wasn't checking me out because I look good, it's because I'm a total freak show. Awesome.
It's a good thing I stumbled upon Jellybeans. These beautiful watercolor paintings make me smile and almost forget about my freakishly black eye.
If you still haven't purchased a Valentine's Day gift, I would suggest ordering one of these or forever staying single. Just sayin'. OK, off to start my day (I've been in windup mode since 7am. I start winding down around 4pm. It's a rough life.) Still looking for Valentine's Day gift ideas? Check these out. And these. And of course these.

"This might be considered a Chili, but the balance is very high in favor of vegetables, and the dish could be made without any meat at all. I normally grind stew meat in a food processor to reduce it to about a grind twice as big as hamburger grains. This recipe can also be made in a crockpot over low heat for 3 to 4 hours."

Ending poverty in America has always been a passionate concern of mine, and doing so is an ethical obligation of my Jewish religious tradition. I began my career as a social worker supporting low-income women of color in the South Bronx and then worked on child welfare issues in rural Oklahoma. Years later, as a government official in New York City, reducing poverty and fighting racism were always at the top of my to-do list. These commitments were bolstered by my late colleague, Michael Harrington, who, in 1962, published The Other America, an indelibly influential book that shed light on the extent of poverty in the U.S. Fifty years later, in the richest country in the world, more than 46 million Americans live in homes below the poverty line. We clearly still have lots to learn and do.
Now, I am the leader of American Jewish World Service, an international development and human rights organization that works to end poverty and advance human rights in the developing world. For the past 14 years, I've worked with grassroots activists in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, who have taught me vital lessons about rooting out poverty. Without exception, our partners in the developing world -- where 1.4 billion people live on less than $1.15 a day -- remind me what we need to do to end poverty and build healthy, safe and economically independent communities anywhere in the world, including the U.S.:
1) Invest in and empower women and girls. First and foremost, women everywhere bear the brunt of poverty, earn less, own less, have less access to health care, enjoy fewer rights, and are held back by outmoded thinking and traditions. The U.S. is no exception. In 2009, more than 16.4 million American women lived below the poverty line.
Investing in women is the key to ending poverty and building a just future. Empowered girls grow up to be healthy, educated and financially stable women who anchor their communities. A 2010 World Bank Study demonstrated that when women earn an income, they reinvest 90 percent of it into their families, as compared to only 30 to 40 percent reinvestment for men. Furthermore, women invest smartly, spending their income on nutritious foods, school fees and health care for children. An extra year of primary school raises a girl's lifetime wages by 10 to 20 percent, and an extra year of secondary school raises her wages by 15 to 20 percent.
Women, given half a chance, organize to make meaningful social change as well. For example, in Liberia, women were the pioneers of a movement to end a 14-year civil war that exacerbated poverty and unemployment. On a trip to Liberia last June, I was inspired to learn that these same women taught countless young people -- especially girls -- about the importance of education and training as antidotes to poverty. Liberian women's organizations also play a key role in rebuilding Liberia's workforce. An organization called Imani House, Inc. promotes women's empowerment through adult literacy programs, and the Liberian Rural Women's Association offers trainings to help Liberian women become farmers and local business owners to support themselves and their families.
2) Provide necessary resources for low-income people, so they can shape their own future. In the developing world, those who fight poverty focus sharply on protecting the rights to land and water. These rights are often ignored and leave poor people without the basics for building a secure life. Land and water rights may not make immediate sense in the U.S., but they are equivalent to the right to have a roof over one's head and access to food, education, and health care. When we make poor people move in and out of shelters, deny them basic Medicaid benefits, fail to invest in their neighborhood schools, it is as if we have denied them ownership of the land they farm. Without the basics, poor Americans, like poor people in the developing world, won't be able to take control of their lives and provide for those they love.
Activists in Kenya are taking control of their lives in a bold way by safeguarding Lake Turkana, a vital resource for rural, indigenous communities to access clean water and grow food. Long marginalized, Lake Turkana's indigenous communities have Kenya's highest rates of poverty, unemployment and illiteracy. Unfortunately, the government of neighboring Ethiopia began constructing a dam along the Omo River, which provides 90 percent of Lake Turkana's water. When a Kenyan activist named Ikal Angelei learned about the construction of the dam, she was outraged that no effort had been made to consult with the communities that would be directly affected. So, she successfully mobilized opposition. We need to recognize the parallel efforts of poor people in America to demand much-needed changes in our laws.
3) Ensure human rights to help people help themselves. Our grassroots partners in the developing world consistently make the case that giving people the resources they need is not enough. To create lasting change, we must ensure that marginalized people have the skills to advocate for themselves and build just societies. An organization in India called Kislay, which promotes the rights of urban communities in the slums of New Delhi, is doing this work brilliantly. Kislay uses participatory theatre to teach Delhi slum dwellers how to advocate for equitable food and housing, and how to be their own agents of social and economic change.
I am not in the business of creating domestic policy planks for the U.S., but I firmly believe that we can strengthen our efforts to end poverty at home by taking some tips from leaders in the developing world. People in Liberia, Kenya and India have shown that we must empower women and girls, enable marginalized people to advocate for themselves, and promote human rights and justice for all. To me, this combination is as American as apple pie.
Ruth Messinger is the president of American Jewish World Service.

As a reader who loves history, I continued reading your writer's history lesson on "The Attack on Pearl Harbor." There apparently was much research done for the article. I say that because the history lesson is filled with almost minute details about the events in time leading up to, and the actual attack. But I find it a little strange, why not a word about the probable foreknowledge of the American government, that the attack was imminent. There are just too many books and articles that have been written over time pertaining to the government's foreknowledge, and their refusal to warn the Pearl Harbor's commanders, Rear Adm. Kimmel, Naval Commander, and Gen. Walter C. Scott, Army Commander, for it not to be mentioned in any article written today regarding that attack.
Maybe it was ignored because most mainstream historians say there never was a plot. But revisionists long have argued that the attack was anticipated in Washington. Dissident revisionists argue that Pearl Harbor, while horrible, did what Roosevelt wanted: It galvanized Americans and drove the country into World War II against the Axis powers. Furthermore, if the information on the foreknowledge is correct, then we have the president of the United States, Roosevelt, guilty of sacrificing over 2,400 American seamen's lives in order to declare a war that continued to take American lives for years. I think that this additional information is just too important, as a part of history, for people not to be made aware of it.
One such book about the probable foreknowledge is "Day of Deceit, The Truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor," Written by Robert B. Stinnett, a World War II veteran.
The book is published by the Free Press, an imprint of the New York publisher Simon & Schuster. It is based on thousands of long secret American intercepts of Japanese fleet radio messages that he obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The documents indicate America did know an attack was coming.

Rock Pigeons
Here are some pictures of pigeons which regularly visit our house.
On everyday afternoon a group of pigeons (sometimes 20 or even more) come to our courtyard and we use to feed them with grains. Very friendly that they even try to come in !! And spend here and there for sometime and finally fly away. This has become a daily routine now.
Here are some more pictures...
Is it looking at the camera ?!
Rock pigeons vary in color. The following is a black one, slightly smaller and longer than others.
One of them trying to flee away the black one !! May be, some problem between them !
Posing for a shot ?...
Another pose...
Rock pigeons are very common in many parts of the world. These are also called simply as pigeons. They are very friendly to humans and are highly domestic in nature.
Family : Columbidae
Scientific name : Columba livia
In one of my previous posts also, some pictures of these pigeons were given.

Yah, for her!
I can't begin to tell you what an emotional rollercoaster this was for me.
It started a few days after Christmas; Sophia was pushing me away during her nightly feeding time. I just figured she wasn't hungry or maybe her teeth were bothering her, so I put her in her crib and off to sleep she went.
The following morning, same thing! Pushing me away and now a bit of whining. Again, I thought maybe her teeth were bothering her, so I made a bottle and she sucked down eight ounces in minutes.
Still, wasn't thinking anything of it.
As her mid-day feeding time approached, I wondered if she'll be interested in nursing. As we made our way to "our chair" in her nursery, it started as soon as I sat down, the pushing and whining.
As this was happening, I started to rack my brain to figure out. "What did I do for her to not want me?"
I did:
Tell her "No!" when she wanted to "take a bite"- Sign # 1
Notice she had to "suck" a bit harder, recently- Sign # 2
Notice although she was intersted in nursing, as soon as she heard anything, she'd look to see what was going on- Sign # 3
Even though I realized the thoughts above, I didn't think these were "the signs" of her saying, "No thanks, Mommy, I'm a big girl now."
At this point, I started to freak-out and beat myself up. I was on the computer for hours Googling for answers. I came across what is called a "Nursing Strike."
What is a nursing strike?
Maybe I didn't do anything wrong?
As I think back throughout this emotional rollercoaster, I learned so much about myself as a breastfeeding mommy and about breastfeeding in general:

A Cape Canaveral Florida vacation is great fun.
It is located a few miles away from the Kennedy Space Center (the Cape).
Visiting the cape on vacation is a real thrill!
Note: To find inexpensive vacation ideas for Cities in the United States see:
Best US Cities.
The Cape is where man first left the shackles of the earth on journeys to space and the moon. It was chosen for rocket launches for two significant reasons:
• To take advantage of the earth's rotation. The linier velocity of the earth is greatest at the equator. Cape Canaveral takes advantage of this fact by launching eastward---the same direction as the earths rotation.
• The downward range needs to be sparsely populated in case of accidents. Launching over the ocean is perfect for this.
A Rich History
The Kennedy Space Center outside of Cape Canaveral Florida has a rich history that is fascinating to learn about..
John Kennedy's speech on May 25th 1961 set the stage for a great adventure. Kennedy said that the United States should set as a goal the "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth by the end of the decade."
Kennedy's speech galvanized 400,000 workers and a nation on one of the most amazing accomplishments of mankind.
There were three programs to accomplish this feat:
• The Mercury Program - To see if man could survive in space.
• The Gemini Program - To see if man could live and work in space.
• The Apollo Program – This program put 12 men on the moon) and brought them safely home.
Since then the exploration programs including men and women have been Skylab and the Space Shuttle. There have been many fascinating unmanned flights to learn about as well.
On your vacation you will learn a great deal about the US space program and experience a time in our history when we looked up to the stars and believed anything was possible.

You don't have to be a model to flaunt around your feminine assets, but you will need to work like one to make sure they are in tip top shape. Whether you're a 32A or 38D, everyone wants perky breasts. Here are the tips you will need to keep gravity from taking them down!
Muscles keep everything tight and firm, so it would make complete sense to take working out the pectoral muscles very seriously if you want to prevent, and reverse sagging breasts. These muscles lie directly underneath the breast tissue and will lift and shape the breasts as they become more developed.
Honestly, if you want the absolute best results you will need to work with heavier weights, 5 lb dumbbells will not make any difference and you're seriously fooling yourself if you think they would.
Realistically you want to work with 10-15 lbs and slightly build up to 20-25. You will NOT lose your breasts if you work with heavy weights, as long as you don't drastically change your diet. You can BUILD (hence the term body building) the muscles to create your desired look.
The best pectoral workouts;
Chest Fly
The Pushup
Barbell Incline Bench Press
They're good for men too…

Not that I mind much, personally. I grew up doing competitive sports and competitions, back when participation trophies were not a thing (cheering, and track and field, and other things). I'm also an outgoing type and one of the lucky few that doesn't get anxious when asked to get up in front of crowds of people. I spent a lot of time in my youth in preparing for and participating in competition where I could (and did) lose.
|Me, circa 1983.
Plus, there's no Arnis tournaments. We're too small of a group that's too spread out across the continent to have them. There are rare "stick fighting" tournaments, but those don't happen often enough to really prepare for on a regular basis.
I don't mind too much that there are no Arnis tournaments, myself. But some people enjoy it, and it's something to consider when you run a school, especially if you have a kid's program.
If we are to compete, we have to go where the majority of participants in tournaments are in other styles, like karate and taekwondo.
This puts us at a bit of a disadvantage.
We don't point spar, so we have to enter in forms competitions. Our anyos are like nothing they've ever seen, and they aren't sure how to appropriately grade them. We don't move like a karate or taekwondo person might - we're smoother and we "flow".
They simply don't know what they're looking at.
At my teacher's school, we do encourage our Arnis students to compete in tournaments along with the schools' taekwondo program. There's one our parent organization, AKATO, puts on each year, and there's a new series of yearly charity tournaments now on its fourth year that we'll also participate in.
I still laugh a bit when one of our kids was told by a judge at a tournament to be "harder" in his weapon form. It was Baston Anyo Isa, with a blade, and sharp bladed weapons don't require power, they require smooth motion, and that's how our kid did it - smooth motion. Dude wanted him to do his form like he was chopping wood.
|Yeah, that's not how blades work, sir.
The two tournaments that we do attend aren't like that, though. Weapons are "traditional" and there is no music, no sword catching, no tricking or gymnastics.
But we don't expect to win, because we understand that we're sort of exotic and strange to the judges. They expect a lot of hard motions, a lot of posing and sometimes screaming, and kiyaaas, and that sort of stuff. That's not what we do. But we've had some luck at these tournaments in the past, and they're getting used to us, and how to judge us.
So why do we go, if we don't expect to win?
We go for the experience, we go to make connections and friendships, and we go to advertise our style to a wider martial arts audience.
At Mid-Cities Arnis, the sister school my husband and I run, we've never really encouraged tournament participation in the past. But this year, one of our students expressed an interest in competition.
After some thought, I decided, heck with it, let's give our kids a chance to compete if they want to. So we're going to enter Mid-Cities Arnis students in same tournaments this year that my teacher's school goes to.
Thus, we're starting to offer an extra hour of practice after Friday stick sparring nights to prepare for the first tournament, the Monica Lopez Open Karate Tournament. This tournament is a little less cut-throat than others I've attended, so it's a good first start for our kids.
We made the announcement this week, and thus far, three in our family class have expressed an interest.
We're going to do extra practice class up to the tournament, then take a break for summer, and resume extra practice class in September in preparation for the AKATO tournament in November.
It's exciting because it's the first time Mid-Cities Arnis will enter tournaments as its own entity.
|1983 me is pretty excited.
I've only competed once, in 2013, right after I was promoted to Dayang Isa (1st Degree Black Belt). Yes, I'm the genius that waited until I had to compete in the black belt division to enter a tournament.
Hey, I got second place!
I'm hoping you readers out there who ARE competition heavy can help me out.
What are some of your best tips for tournament preparation? How do you prepare your self or your students mentally and emotionally? Do you have any funny tournament stories? Let me know in the comments!

EMPLOYMENT bosses believe the majority of the Scotlight staff who recently lost their jobs have already found alternative work.
The Innerleithen- and Peebles-based electrical firm unexpectedly closed last month with the loss of 28 jobs.
A multi-agency PACE - Partnership Action for Continuing Employment - event was held a fortnight ago in Peebles Community Centre to provide advice for the affected workforce.
Aileen McBrierty from Galashiels Jobcentre told us: "The Scotlight closure was a blow as nobody had any indication the company was in trouble.
"The good news is that many of the staff have now found alternative jobs and there are options for the ones who are still looking."
Figures released this week show that the Scottish Borders isn't experiencing the reductions in unemployment that the rest of the country witnessed during spring.
Across the Scottish Borders there were 1,140 people looking for work at the end of May - up 15 on last year.
The number of 18-to-24s out of work stood at 265 - down 15 on last year.
Across Scotland unemployment fell by 19,000 to 104,000 in the period March to May.
Ms McBrierty added: "Overall the employment picture for the Borders is looking quite good but overall the national situation is much better."
The claimant rate in the Borders is roughly in line with the UK average of 2.5 per cent.
Local MP John Lamont said: "In the Borders, the number of people claiming unemployment benefits remains stubbornly static and is roughly what it was last year.
"It's also pretty much in line with the UK average, but I think the Borders should be doing better.
"Both the UK and Scottish Governments need to do more to bring jobs to the Borders."

Pregnant CNA sues over unpaid leave
A pregnant certified nursing assistant at a Michigan nursing home has filed a lawsuit, claiming she was forced to take unpaid leave without health insurance.
CNA Asia Myers, who worked at Hope Healthcare Center since 2010, said she went on medical leave for a week in June 2013 after having bleeding and cramping known as "threatened miscarriage." She was cleared to return to work, but her doctor said she was not allowed to lift or push anything.
The American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Michigan and Cary McGehee of the law firm Pitt McGehee Palmer Rivers & Golden, filed an amended lawsuit in federal court in December on Myers' behalf. Hope Healthcare, located in Westland, MI, is owned by Sava Senior Care, which did not respond to a request for comment for this article.The lawsuit said a supervisor told Myers that it wasn't her "call" whether she could work. While Hope had reportedly accommodated pregnant employees in the past, a supervisor said Myers would not be able to return to work with her doctor's restrictions. Myers was then off without pay or health coverage for a month, and has now returned to Hope Healthcare Center. The birth of her child is expected in January

Campaign Summary: The Juniper Campaign
This is the campaign summary for the Juniper Campaign. It is NOT a detailed description of any of the game sessions (for that, check out the other Juniper Campaign posts) but rather a quick-and-dirty summary of the most important events and plot developments that occur in each post. Use this summary to refresh your memory or, if you started reading somewhere other than the beginning of the campaign, to catch up on the events of previous posts without having to read all of the posts themselves–we're thrilled if you want to read them all, of course, but as you can see there's a lot of material here!
Obviously, these summaries will not be spoiler-free, so if you're a person for whom spoilers matter, you probably shouldn't look behind the cut.
Introducing Campaign Summaries
So we already have the Campaign Guide page, with bite-sized descriptions of what each campaign is all about. We have, of course, the blog posts describing the games themselves. What, you might be wondering, is this category for?
It's basically the middle ground. The Campaign Guide is meant to provide a feel for the essence of each campaign, while the campaign summary posts will deal with the specific events of each campaign's plot, in a much-shortened form. Want to jump into reading about a current campaign, but don't have the time or the inclination to read a whole slew of detailed posts? Need a refresher? You're the person we're writing these for.
These summaries are also broken up into story arcs, at least insofar as any campaign has discernible arcs, and include an index of posts so that if you're looking for a specific event, you can easily find it. And yes, the Campaign Summary posts will be updated along with or shortly after new posts for their corresponding campaigns. Obviously, these summaries will not be spoiler-free, so if you're a person for whom spoilers matter, you may want to give the posts in this category a miss.
These summaries will focus on long-running campaigns with a large backlog of material–one-shot campaigns or campaigns that petered out early on won't be included here. So far, available campaign summaries include the Juniper Campaign.

Public Record Retention Policy Template
Use this template to help build a strong record retention policy that will let your organization take advantage of modern communication tools, such as text messaging and social media for business purposes.
State and local governments must ensure that they have the ability to produce public records, regardless of when, where, or who created the communication. This obligation may create additional search requirements for the organization, and add more time and dollars spent responding to public records requests.
Smarsh has provided this example of a Public Records Retention Policy for state and local Government organizations. This example can be used as a template of a policy that specifically addresses the use of text messaging and electronic communications created by public employees and officials.

You will find Fish and Chip Shops up and down the land selling the traditional fish and chips in batter. Of course some owners claim to have a 'special and secret' ingredient that makes 'theirs' better than anyone else's.
During World War 2 when food was often rationed, fish and potatoes were two food that were not - and it's often been said by that generation that it kept the nation going during the war.
You might be thinking that Fish and Chips is also famous in England. The difference is that in Scotland, the Fish Supper is made with Haddock, while in England it was traditionally made with cod.
The chips are made with good 'floury' potatoes such as Golden Wonder (definitely NOT your wee French Fries. They are often served with 'mushy peas' - made from dried marrowfat peas.
Of course Scotland has many famous fish dishes from Cullen Skink, the soup made with smoked haddock, delicious salmon and recipes like Trout in Oatmeal. But traditional fish and chips in batter is by far the most popular.
By the way, if you would like to share a Scottish Recipe with others on this site please contribute HERE.
Meanwhile I hope you enjoy trying this traditional Fish and chips in Batter Recipe.
This lovely recipe and many more can be downloaded in my handy ebook, simply save to your phone and take with you everywhere! Each beautifully illustrated recipe tells a story and will both teach and entertain you. Click here to find out more.
The Peas
10oz / 300 gm dried marrowfat peas

Zoom is a high quality video and audio online conferencing tool for desktops and smartphones. It's ideal for online classes, meetings, special events, webinars, remote working and job interviews.
Get started with Zoom
Zoom conferencing supports up to 100 participants in standard meetings. For sessions of up to 500 attendees you can request a webinar license (details below). This service is proudly funded by Learning Environments, and is free to use for all University of Melbourne staff.
What platform are you using?
- Zoom on a desktop
Get the software
Go to the Zoom download centre and select 'Zoom Client for Meetings'
Follow the installation prompts specific to your operating system (you do not need admin access to install)
We suggest your also download the Zoom Plug-in for Microsoft Outlook . This enables you to schedule Zoom meetings directly from Outlook. Admin access is required to install this plugin. Call the IT service desk for assistance.
Sign in
- Once Zoom is installed you will presented with a login screen, click Sign In
- For University staff with an @unimelb.edu.au address, select Login with SSO . *Affiliate staff who wish to use Zoom need to request access via the Learning Environments support centre, once enabled can login via the left hand side login panel.
- Enter unimelb on the next screen. The full URL should be: https://unimelb.zoom.us .
You will be redirected to the University of Melbourne SSO login page
- Enter your University of Melbourne user name (not your full email address) and password, then select login
Start using Zoom
You will now be logged into Zoom and ready to schedule or start your first Zoom meeting. Discover some of the features of Zoom .
Note: Zoom meetings can be scheduled in the desktop application or via unimelb.zoom.us and selecting Zoom Account Sign On (SSO) . In Profile settings you can upload a profile photo and add a 'personal vanity URL' of your choosing. You can leave other settings as default but check that your local time zone is correct.
- Zoom on a mobile
Zoom is available on iOS and Android. The apps can be downloaded from the respective app stores.
Get the software
On your mobile, select the application matching your device.
Sign in
Once Zoom is installed, open the app. You will presented with a login screen.
- Click Sign In
- Staff with an @unimelb.edu.au email address, select to Sign in with SSO. *Affiliate staff who wish to use Zoom need to request access via the Learning Environments support centre, once enabled can login via the left hand side login panel.
- Enter unimelb into the next screen. The full URL should be: https://unimelb.zoom.us .
You will be redirected to the University of Melbourne SSO login page.
- Enter your University of Melbourne user name (not your full email address) and password, then select Login
Start using Zoom
You will now be logged in to the Zoom application.
You are ready to start or schedule your first meeting. Discover some of the features of Zoom .
A full list of user guides can be found on the Zoom support site .
Recording with Zoom
You can record you sessions when using Zoom. When recording the Zoom application captures the audio and video only. All text in the chat window is not saved to the recording. The chat stream can be saved as a text file before last person leaves the meeting.
Saving your recording
- Saving your recording to the desktop
Recordings can be made by pressing the 'record' button on the Zoom interface.
At the end of the meeting, the recording will be converted to an mp4 file and stored in a 'Zoom' folder in your 'Documents' folder.
- Saving your recording to the Cloud
Recordings can be saved to the Cloud rather than your desktop. To enable cloud recording:
- Login into your Zoom account at https://unimelb.zoom.us
- Select the 'My Meeting Settings' tab and scroll down to the Recording section.
- In the Recording section, press 'Edit' beside 'Cloud recording'. This will make the list selectable.
- Select 'Cloud recording' and 'Save changes'.
In your meeting when you press record you will now have the option to "Record on this Computer" or "Record to the Cloud" during the meeting.
At the end of the meeting, you will be sent an email with the link and password to access the file.
For SSO users, the recording will also be stored in your Cloudstor account under 'Shared with You'. Links are valid for 30 days but the file will remain in your account for as long as you don't delete it. Non-SSO users will only have access to the recording for 30 days and it will be deleted after then since non-SSO users do not have Cloudstor accounts.
Note: If you are logging in to CloudStor for the first time ever to look for your recording, you will not find the recording. You will need to make another recording before you can see the 'Zoom Recordings' folder in 'Shared with You'; all previous recordings will also be available. This is because your CloudStor account did not exist until your first log-on.
More information on recording is available on the Zoom support site .
A Zoom Webinar license (up to 500 or 1000 participants) is available at no-cost upon request via the service desk.
- Zoom Webinars
A good way to think about the difference between a normal Zoom meeting and a webinar is like having everyone sitting at a meeting room table (Zoom meetings) vs running a presentation in a lecture theatre (webinar). In a Zoom meeting, everyone present has equal rights to be seen heard and share content. In a webinar, only the allocated host or presenters can be seen and heard. Attendee's can only use text chat or Q&A to communicate.
Setting up a Webinar
Webinar licenses can be requested for free through Learning Environments via the contact details below and can accommodate either 500 or 1000 participants.
You can request a webinar license be attached to your personal email address but we recommend to use a shared email address if multiple people may need to administer or run webinars for a department. A shared email can be in the form of a unimelb email list, calendar resource or generic gmail account. Logging into Zoom with the shared email addresses, you need to use the non-SSO sign-on option. The SSO sign-on option is only for people with individual University email accounts that have a username and password and should not be shared.
Once you've been allocated a webinar license, you can schedule a session via the online portal by logging into https://unimelb.zoom.us. Please note that you are not able to create new webinars from the 'Meetings' tab in the Zoom application, however any webinar you create on the website will populate the meeting area so you can start a webinar from the app.
- Log into https://unimelb.zoom.us using the appropriate sign-on method
- Under My Webinars click on Schedule a Webinar.
- Enter the name of your webinar under Topic and an optional description.
- Enter the date and duration and ensure the time zone is correct.
- Leave Recurring Webinar unchecked unless your webinar is going to be part of a regular series of events under the same title.
- Leave Host Video and Panellist Video as both On.
- Leave Audio Options set to Both.
- Check the Enable Practice session button. This allows you to to configure your video, audio and slides prior to attendees entering your session.
- Leave the Enable HD video for view-only users as unchecked unless you are going to show video clips full screen.
- Press the Schedule button.
- You will now be presented with a list of information, scroll to the Invite Attendees section and copy the Link to join Webinar URL that is provided. This is the URL you send to your attendees along with the template invite below.
Instructions for inviting attendees to a registrationless webinar
This test below can be used to send to attendees
For anyone who hasn't used Zoom before, you can click on the link prior to the event to download and install the application but the webinar will not begin until the scheduled time.
To join the webinar:
- Click the provided webinar link, if you already have Zoom it will open the application. If not, follow the download and installation prompts (computer admin access is not required for installation)
- Complete your registration when prompted (enter your name and email address), and click 'Join Webinar'.
- When prompted, check your speaker audio settings. You will not have microphone or webcam access as a participant.
- You can ask questions in the Q&A or Chat box in the Zoom window.
- To leave the webinar, click 'end meeting' and close your application window.
- Things to remember
- Although upcoming Zoom webinars appear in the Meetings section of the Zoom client, you are not able to schedule webinars from the application, only the web portal.
- By default, webinars are set to run as registrationless. This mens that when you send a Zoom webinar link out, attendees only need to click on the link at the required time and enter their name and email address to join. If organisers wish to pre-approve attendees or arrange in advance this can be changed to a registered webinar in the scheduling area.
Additional meetings and webinar guides are available on the Zoom support site .
It really is a great program…other solutions don't come anywhere close to what Zoom offers. It really has been a godsend!
Questions and additional information
- Zoom plug-in for Outlook
The Zoom Plug-in for Outlook installs a button on the Microsoft Outlook tool bar to enable you to start or schedule a meeting with one-click. When creating a meeting invite, if you are logged in to the Zoom application and click the button, your invite will then be populated with the appropriate Zoom meeting information. This feature removes the need to schedule directly using the Zoom application then copying and pasting meeting details manually into a meeting invite.
- Running Zoom in a meeting room via a local room account
If a meeting room is regularly used for Zoom sessions by different users, you may wish to set up a local account on a PC and allocate a Zoom account to the actual room.
This has the benefit that meetings can be scheduled by the room's Zoom account so that any user who logs in to the room can host the meeting.
A local account on the PC can be requested via staff hub and a Zoom account can be requested via the LE support centre. Once the local account is setup, you can login and download Zoom, then login as the Zoom's room account. If you set it to remember the login anyone who next logs into the PC can easily login to the Zoom account.
- Using Zoom in shared teaching or meeting room spaces
- If you've been provided a Zoom meeting URL from an organiser, click the link and follow the installation prompts if the application isn't already on the machine. Otherwise if Zoom has been pre-installed, with one click the meeting will open automatically
- If you are the host of the meeting, sign into the Zoom application and 'start' the appropriate meeting from the list
- Using a department email address for hosting sessions
If responsibility for organising Zoom meetings is shared across staff, departments may wish to consider using a shared email address (such as a list or Gmail address) as their Zoom account. Contact Learning Environments below to request an alternative email address Zoom account be created
When signing in with a shared department email address, you need to use the non-SSO login option when using the website or application.
- Using breakout rooms (Zoom meetings only – not available in webinars)
Video breakout rooms are automatically enabled for all unimelb Zoom users. The article on Managing Video Breakout rooms on the Zoom support site provides instructions on how to use the feature.

"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." Proverb 22 : 6
「教養孩童,使他走當行的道,就是到老他也不偏離。」箴言 22 : 6
We recognise the importance in preparing now for the future, and we strive to equip our children and young people with wisdom from the Bible in their pursuit of spiritual development. The first Sunday of every month is dedicated as Family Service when the young and mature gather to enjoy fellowship and learn God's words together. There is Sunday School on the other Sundays when they could continue to grow in developing a firm foundation of faith in Christ. From October 2016, we will also have a Chinese School at 1pm every Sunday. We hope that the locally born children could learn our Chinese culture and history through these classes, but more importantly to plant the seed of faith in their heart.
