You don't have to be Republican to be a courteous, sweet-talking southerner
I've been a fan of Garrison Keillor and "Prairie Home Companion" for a long time.
Keillor's a Minnesotan who grew up in a small town a little north of Minneapolis; I grew up in a small town a little south of Minneapolis.
I'm 2 years older, but he graduated from the University of Minnesota ahead of me because of my four years defending the country.
He studied English; I studied journalism. He made a ton of money in his career; I did not. He's 6-foot-3; let's just say I'm not.
I like to think we share a lot of old-time values. Some call it Minnesota Nice, but I've heard from a few readers who would disagree.
Keillor was in Charleston last week for a performance at the Gaillard Theater. I didn't go because, well, I just don't go.
But after his visit, he wrote a column for the Post & Courier, in which he voiced his appreciation for the Southern hospitality he found in Charleston and Savannah.
A longtime Democrat from a blue state, I think he did not expect red state citizens to be so gracious. Really?
There was his experience at Jestine's Kitchen in Charleston, where the waitress said, "Have a seat, sweetheart. I'll be right with you."
He seemed genuinely surprised.
"Liberal waitpersons up north would no more call you 'sweetheart' than kiss you," he wrote. "And if you called one of them 'sweetheart,' she might hand you your hat."
He ordered the fried chicken with collard greens and mashed potatoes and gravy, pretty much the specialty at Jestine's – as he quickly learned: "It was luminous, redemptive, all that chicken and gravy could be. If this is what Makes America Great Again, I am all for it."
At The Grey, a restaurant in Savannah, a couple noticed his red socks and stopped by to comment on them. It seems the woman's father favored red socks.
Realizing he was an out-of-towner, they gave him some tips on interesting places to visit – a nearby cemetery, the Moon River made famous by Johnny Mercer, and a Geechee-Gullah oystering camp along the river.
Keillor was again swept up by their warm hospitality.
"A person could live in a town like this," he wrote.
"I've spent time with people whose politics agreed with mine who were cold fish indeed and now that I'm elderly and have time on my hands, maybe I'd enjoy hanging out with amiable sweet-talking right-wingers."
I know he meant it as a compliment, but Keillor's idea that everyone who treats him with respect in South Carolina, Georgia or any other red state is a "sweet-talking right-winger" is a kind of slap in the face.
You can take most any election at most any level and South Carolina Democrats claim about 40 percent of the vote – meaning that maybe 40 percent of us are on Keillor's side of the aisle.
Compliment our hospitality all you want, Garrison, but don't wrap us all in a crimson red while doing it, thank you.
Some of us are just like you, except we grew up a little farther south.

These Kids Aren't Spoiled: They're Changing the World
I think it's debatable whether todays' kids are spoiled, overprotected, distracted, game-addicted or less polite than previous generations. That has not been my personal experience with the kids I know. And since the big, splashy, star-studded stage event We Day is currently touring the world, launching a year of social activism for youth called We Act, I happen to have some statistics at hand that I like—and that seem more in keeping with my experience—about today's kids:
Through their involvement in We Act, over 2 million youngsters have gotten behind local and global causes, volunteered their time, raised money, attended camps to learn how to lead other youth to change the world, and used social media—another often-denigrated modern development—to raise awareness for causes they care about.
It starts with the We Day event, which gets kids pumped up with the message that everyone—no matter how young—can make a difference simply by believing in a cause and doing something about it. Then the site provides schools and families with the resources they need to actually get involved in whatever social change they want to make happen. So maybe, instead of lamenting our kids' failures (and our own parental mistakes that led there), why not watch the video (above) with them and see what happens?
If kids still doubt they can effect change, point out that We Day and We Act are part of Free the Children, which was founded in 1995 by Craig and Marc Kielburger when Craig was 12 years old. Craig rallied a handful of classmates to rescue children from child labor, and discovered that he could make a difference even though he was himself just a kid. Since then, Craig has become a social entrepreneur, a New York Times bestselling author and a syndicated columnist, and founded a youth organization that has taught 2.3 million young people that they can change the world for the better.
I'm sure there are some spoiled, overprotected kids out there. But they can change. And I can't get behind this idea that today's youth aren't doing anything worthy. They seem like an impressive bunch to me.

How you pay your tax and what class of Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) you pay depends on whether you are employed or self-employed. Your PRSI class affects your entitlement to certain social welfare payments, for example, Illness Benefit, Jobseeker's Benefit, Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's Contributory Pension and State Pension Contributory. So it is important to know whether you are employed or self-employed.
The terms 'employed' and 'self-employed' are not defined in law. Scope Section is the part of the Department that makes decisions on the insurability of employment. It can only decide as to which category you fall into by looking at what you actually do, the way you do it and the terms and conditions of your work, even if they are only implied.
The factors Scope Section take into account are quite complex and are outlined in the Code of Practice for determining Employment or Self-employment status of individuals.

They were mentally fucked too. Theirs was the TV dinner throw away boxes, TVs showing perfect everything while their own lives sucked balls but they had to pretend everything was GREAT! so that "society" wouldn't mock them.
Pretend pretend pretend is what they learned. They started the "put it all on credit", gotta "keep up with the Jones" (its a phrase from their era) and to do that, you have to spend spend spend.
Ultimately goes back to Bernays in the late 1920s and the fundamental change in commercial marketing/advertising techniques. He's also the reason the US Propaganda Dept became "Public Relations". Means the same thing but gives a different "emotional feel".
The feels. Buy on the feels. That's what fucked us all.
BUT despite their mental fucked-upness, they *could have* _not_ made everything worse.
But they did.
My Generation pisses me off. I'm from the 2nd wave of GenX, the "whiz kids" with the video games and computers and don't trust politicians or anybody over the age of 30 but you can always trust someone who looks or acts weird because THEY'RE being honest, you gotta fend for yourself because nobody is going to bat for you but the world is going to be a better place because WE'RE GONNA FIX IT independently of each other because working together is just NOT gonna happen because it leads to trouble and cults when people work together.
My generation is the unreliable bosses who wrecked companies left and right because it was more important to "be true to yourself" (and fuck everybody else 'cause they have to fend for themselves but they-can-do-it-too because believing in yourself can overcome any obstacle)…
Each of us is unique, don't put me in a box, I'm beyond labels… yeah, I've heard and said (and say) the same shit.
The evil side of my part of GenX were the kids that WANTED to be the "evil logging company that the kids have to save the local park from" in our movies. And so they did.

Medea afraid that her son would not become heir to Aegeus thrown sent Theseus on a certain to be fatal errand to capture the Marathonian Bull and bring it back to Athens.
The Marathonian Bull lived on the island of Crete and was said to be the father of the great Minotaur that guarded the Labyrinth of Crete. The Marathonian bull was the symbol of Crete's great power. Stealing the bull would not be an easy task and most certainly would not go unpunished. King Minos was the king of Crete and the brother of Aegeus (which would make Minos Theseus uncle).
So Theseus set sail for Crete. When he arrived in Crete the town people informed him about King Minos. They told Theseus how his aunt Queen Pasiphae had given birth to a horrible half man half bull creature they named the Minotaur.Theseus was told that the Minotaur resided in the middle of a great labyrinth inside court yard of the kings castle.
Theseus set off into the hills of Crete. A grand storm blew in and Theseus found an old beggar woman who had a hut hidden within the hills. The woman's name was Hecale. She offered refuge to Theseus. The night went on and Hecale showed the young hero much kindness. They talking into the night, and Hecale told Theseus how she was a widow who had no children. In the morning when the storm had ended, Theseus set off again to find the great bull. Hecale told Theseus that if he successfully captured the bull she would make a sacrifice to the god Zeus on behalf of the hero.
After many days of wondering around the wilderness Theseus came upon a small village. Within in the village the Great Marathonian Bull was being kept. Theseus waited until night fall and snuck into the village, stealing the Bull and heading back towards the coast of Crete. On his way back to the shore side he stopped off at Hecale's hut to show her the bull. When Theseus arrived however he found that the old woman had passed away. Feeling great sadness over the loss of the kind old lady Theseus constructed a small village and named it after Hecale in her honor. The people who came and lived in Hecale then were called Hecalinites and in a roundabout way becoming children of Hecale. Theseus then continued to the coast of Crete where he loaded the bull and sailed back to Athens.
When Theseus returned to Athens there was a great festival in his honor for bringing the power of Crete to Athens. Theseus took the bull to the temple of Athena and Apollo and sacrificed the bull. King Minos of Crete found out that the young hero had stolen the bull and set sail at once with his army to start a war with Athens. After a few weeks Minos was victorious and as punishment for both stealing the bull AND losing the war Minos demanded that every year Athens sends 7 of their strongest bravest warriors and 7 of the most beautiful maidens to Crete to be sacrificed to the Minotaur.

Push/Fold in SNGs
The push/fold portion of sit and gos will occur as you approach the money bubble, and also once you have passed the money bubble. At this point, the blinds are big and the chips are becoming increasingly valuable. The progressions you should have in most instances are to always look to push and then change what you'll do as other players change what they are doing.
If you see players who put their chips in to the pot constantly, you'll be more prone to call off against them, and you don't want to be that type of player. These players will bust their stack pretty quickly and get picked off a lot of the time without cashing in the sit and go. Picking your spots of whether to push or fold in sit and gos is important, because it determines the winners and the losers. If you shove too often you will get called more often. If you don't shove often, you won't have callers when you do have big hands. The key is to find a balance between when to shove and when to fold hands.
When to Push
Spots to push or shove in sit and gos are going to almost always be from late position. If you are shoving weak hands from early position, there's a much better chance of someone calling and you losing. When deciding to shove from the cutoff or button, depending on the size of your stack, there are a bunch of hands you can do it with. Most of the hands would be middle suited connectors or better, suited weak aces, K10 or better, QJ, the range can get wider depending on how passive or aggressive your opponents have been.
If your opponents have been very tight, then the range of hands can be almost any two cards within reason. Certainly you'll want to shove in with A10 or better with hands like KQ or any pair. The range of hands you can push with from late position will all be dependent on how the blinds play.
The best situations to get in when deciding to push or fold will be against an aggressive player who has put in a steal raise from the button or cutoff. If a player is opening more pots than they are folding, it should make your pushing ranging greater. From the big or small blind you can collect bigger pots by utilizing the three bet shove. The three bet shove will be a great play in your arsenal later on in sit and gos. This play will allow you to get value for a big hand or allow you to win a decent sized pot without a showdown.
If you get value for a big hand, this means that you have a hand like two kings and you want your opponent to call the shove. Most of the time, if someone puts in a raise, they'll think about calling. Other times your opponent will just muck their hand. Either way, if you have a big hand, and you are facing a pre-flop raise, you are in good shape. They'll either call with worse or you'll pick up a decent sized pot with no risk.
When to Fold
When deciding to fold a hand you should look at how many players are in the pot and how those players have been playing. Also, you have to keep in mind their view of you at the table. If you have been playing a lot of pots, sometimes it's best to fold hands instead of pushing in. More times than not if you are the aggressor always, hand after hand, you should fold in tough spots. Tough spots are what you want to avoid at all costs. If you get stuck in a hand it could cost you a possible win.
To make the progression from a push to a fold two things have to happen. First, you have to realize that the players around you will most likely call, and second, you have to look at your hand and see if it's good enough. If you realize that players at the table are calling off with weaker hands you should not push into them without bigger hands. You should look to fold the marginal hands and wait for a better spot to push in. Folding is something even the best players have trouble with, but, it will save money in the long run and give you a better chance of progressing through a sit and go.
Hands you should look to fold against a table with players who call more times than not are up to you, and up for interpretation. If you are in middle position sometimes you should fold a small pocket pair, or a hand like A9, or KJ. Other times you can push in. If you fold the marginal hands in middle position, you'll give yourself a better chance to win. If you think about what hands will call you, and you don't beat any of them, then you should fold. Also, if you have over fifteen or so big blinds you don't need to gamble with hands like that yet, and this should make your decision to fold easier.
In sit and gos you'll almost never have more than thirty big blinds later on in them, and the decisions to push or fold will be magnified. Once you have less than ten big blinds you should look to push a wider range because you'll need chips, but, if you are closer to the top of the chips stacks folding marginal hands and waiting for premium hands is best. You'll want to fold more hands than you will shove with when it comes down to it.
Picking spots and timing hands, when to push or fold, is everything in sit and gos. Playing like a maniac and shoving a wide range of hands will land you on the rail without a win or a cash in the game. If you can maintain a balance and only shove when you have to pick chips up you should do well.

Welcome to Lake Norman Lutheran Church's website. If you are new to the area, we're glad that you're here! Below are some general questions that you may have about your first visit to our church. We look forward to the opportunity of worshiping and serving together.
We worship every Sunday at 8:30AM and 11AM. The services are identical, with Communion observed at the 8:30AM service on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month; Communion observed at the 11AM service on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. The musical style of our Sunday services is mainly Traditional from our hymnal, but we also enjoy adding in modern music.
We believe that Christ Jesus invites baptized members of His church to attend Holy Communion in order to experience the foregiveness of sins which He earned for us on the cross. We believe that our Lord is truly present in this Sacrament. When we take part of this meal, we receive His Body and Blood in, with, and under the bread and wine. If this is also your faith, you are welcome to join us for Holy Communion.
We have wheelchair-accessible parking spaces, a ramp that provides easy access into our sanctuary, as well as our fellowship hall and restrooms. Our Sunday worship bulletins are offered in a large-print format for the visually impaired. We also have hearing devices available.
Children are always invited to participate in worship at Lake Norman Lutheran. We always encourage parents to bring their children to worship. A children's message is offered during each service, and Sunday School is held at 9:45AM in the lower level throughout the school year. We also have activity items for children to take into worship with them. If your child becomes restless during worship, you are more than welcome to take them into the narthex, where the service is piped in and a viewing window is provided. Or, for children aged 4 and under, our nursery is located on the lower level from the narthex.
At Lake Norman Lutheran, worship services last about an hour. Sunday School lasts about 45 minutes.
Lutherans get their name from Martin Luther, a German priest who was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church in the early 1500s. Luther's writing and teaching sparked the Protestant Reformation. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases: Grace Alone, Scripture Alone and Faith Alone. Read more about Our Beliefs here.
To explore membership in this congregation, or if you have questions about the Christian faith or this particular congregation, please contact the church office (704-483-2130) or Pastor Marquardt.
There are MANY ways to get involved at LNLC. We encourage you to look through our website to find more information about our church, and we look forward to having the pleasure of worshiping with you and serving God together. If you have any questions, please contact us!

The team at Alpha Car Hire provided Sydney Moving Guide the content for this post.
There is more to New South Wales than Sydney.
When you talk about Australia and the NSW, most foreigners tend to imagine the Opera House and Sydney. In fact, there is one Sydney address that anyone from Gen Z (and probably Gen Y) and their parents would know by heart — P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney. Hello Disney fans!
As beautiful as the Sydney CBD is, there's so much more to New South Wales than that. When you've had your fill of the bright and buzzing city, book a Sydney car hire and take a low down drive to some of NSW's most beautiful road trip destinations:
Take the Grand Pacific Drive (Sydney to Wollongong)
If you drive 140km south of Sydney (along the coast), you'll cruise past shimmering beaches and quaint coastal towns. Take your car on a picturesque ride from the CBD, heading from the Royal National Park, crossing the dramatic Sea Cliff Bridge, and making your way to Wollongong. You can even go further south to Kiama. Make sure to stop along the seaside villages and treat yourself to amazing culture, spectacular food, and soak up the glorious sun in the quiet, sandy beaches. The nature lover in you will marvel at ancient rainforests along the way.
Go along the Darling River (Walgett to Wentworth)
If you want a trip that's a little more on the rough and tough side, take a car that can tough it out along the Darling River. Experience life in the Outback as you go from Walgett to Wentworth. There's nothing quite like the natural beauty, history, and culture behind the ancient formations. Stop to learn and soak in the rich aboriginal stories and traditions of the region. If you can take the heat and the terrain, your eyes will feast on scenic spots and your senses will come alive in each of the riverside towns along your journey.
Discover the World Heritage Sites (Gondwana Rainforest)
Australia has no shortage of World Heritage-listed and accredited sites, and the Northern parts of New South Wales is no different. Discover rare and endangered endemic species of both fauna and flora along the way. There are quite a few sites to visit so you may want to break up your route into short day trips.
MUST Do:
- Learn all about the rare wildlife and stunning botany of the region (Murwillumbah World Heritage Rainforest Centre. There are loads of venues for birdwatching if you bring your own binoculars.
- Sight-see the Tween Volcanoes along the river.
- Go on foot and discover the canopy-hidden Minyon Falls (Nightcap National Park).
- Rest, relax, and shop at the quirky villages of Nimbin, Tyalgum, or Channon. Loads of local crafts and food to be had, trust me.
- Stretch out your legs and go bushwalking and find #instagramworthy spots and snap away.
- Go canoeing along the river.
An NSW Foodie Adventure (Mudgee, Cowra, Orange, Dubbo)
If the most adventurous part of you is your tastebuds, then you ought to head out to the New South Wales countryside. There you'll find some of the most delectable dishes and finest wines you've ever tasted. Most, if not all, locally grown in Mudgee, Cowra, Orange, and Dubbo. It's not like your typical liquor store or restaurant experience; in the countryside you get to sample perfectly aged wine straight from the cellar door of vast vineyards, and delight in the freshest produce straight from the orchards or farmer markets, or even taste your way through fine eateries that provides the rich cuisine of the region.
Remember than one of the best and cheapest ways to travel around the NSW is through a Sydney car hire. Anyone from outside of Australia would need their respective travel licences but if you have one it's well worth it. While some guided day tours could easily cost as much as $80 a pop, a rent-a-car can get you from Point A to wherever your heart desires for a little as $22 per day. Just be sure to book one before you head to Sydney for a fun-filled holiday. Happy and safe travels!

Twitter Pushes Verified Accounts into Beta
We recently noted that Twitter announced plans to deal with the hijacking of celebrity accounts by introducing "verified" accounts. I don't recall an announcement of it, but the program is in beta.
I noticed it first when viewing the page of publisher Tim O'Reilly. O'Reilly's a big deal in the Twitter world, so it makes sense he would be an early user. From there it was easy to guess one more verified account.
In all likelihood ordinary folks like us won't be candidates for such accounts, and there's no word yet on what the extra security measures are that justify designating them as "verified." It may involve some verification procedure, including phone calls, to prove that the person is who they claim to be.
Give that Twitter gets absolutely no revenue for their existing businesses this is one opportunity for them to charge someone for something. Businesses, for example, are a candidate for verified accounts. Twitter used the example of Dunkin Donuts in explaining verified accounts in the past.

Yemen's President Saleh addresses nation for first time since return
SANAA, Yemen — President Ali Abdullah Saleh addressed the Yemeni people Sunday for the first time since returning to the increasingly volatile nation, calling for direct elections but not making any direct pledge to step down.
The embattled president, who has been the target of more than six months of anti-government demonstrations, has been loath to transfer power. He has backed away from inking a power-transfer deal at least three times, even though leading ruling party and opposition politicians signed it in late May.
Addressing the nation seated behind a desk, Saleh seemed to be in good health, though his head and neck were covered in what appeared to be an attempt to conceal injuries he suffered in a bomb attack on his compound in early June.
Saleh's return after nearly four months of recuperation in Saudi Arabia comes amid an escalation of violence in the Yemeni capital. For months, parts of the capital, Sanaa, have been under the control of troops that have defected and dissident tribesmen.
Last week, an attack on a protest march ignited fierce clashes between government forces and their armed opponents. More than 150 people have been killed over the past week, including dozens of civilians and unarmed demonstrators.
Saleh reiterated support for an internationally backed Gulf Cooperation Council-mediated power transfer initiative that offers the president legal immunity in exchange for his resignation. He added that despite his return to Sanaa, his deputy, Vice President Abdelrab Mansour al Hadi, is still authorized to lead negotiations with the political opposition on his behalf.
The speech presented little that was new. Saleh offered vague commitments to a political dialogue and transfer of power. Keeping a calm tone, he hit out at his opponents, dismissing them as power-hungry opportunists and tying them to al Qaida.
"This bloodbath will not get you power," he said, blaming his adversaries for the current spate of violence.
After the speech, the president's supporters celebrated his video appearance with fireworks and gunfire.
Across the city, Yemenis massed in Change Square, a sprawling sit-in that's been the center of anti-government demonstrations for months. Those gathered dismissed Saleh's remarks as mere posturing, reiterating their calls for the president's immediate resignation.
"We can listen to his words, but the government's actions make a stronger point," said Nader al Qirshi, a leading youth activist. "We refuse to deal with someone who's regime has slaughtered us."
Upon his arrival on Friday, government-run media quoted Saleh as saying that he returned to Yemen "holding a dove and carrying an olive branch."
Yet violence continued. At least 17 demonstrators were killed in a midnight attack on the protest camp that occurred the night after Saleh's return.
The capital remained on edge, and many fear that the return of the fierce urban warfare of the past week is inevitable. The impoverished nation's economy is on the brink of collapse, and a seeming power vacuum has threatened to empowered Yemen-based militants.
Since his return, Western and Arab governments have called on Saleh to step down, fearing that the man they once saw a force for stability in Yemen could push the nation to civil war.
Months of international efforts to push the nation's political impasse to resolution have failed.
"It is still possible for the international community to push a power transfer process forward," said Gregory Johnsen, a Princeton-based Yemen analyst. "But it would require the United States and Saudi Arabian governments to work in close cooperation, and, for now, it's hard to imagine that happening."

Hi and sorry for a simple question...this is my first Linux installation for about a decade.
Fresh Xubuntu Install, in light of XP end.
I can't seem to align my clock, wifi info, skype status, lanuguage flag, Audio settings, or username to the right. They float on the end of the panel jumping left and right anytime I close/open an application.
I'm an XP user, and am migrating to Linux.
I can cope with the learning curve and the differences, but I'd like things to be similar where possible. Having the clock and notification area locked to screen-right would be nice, simply for the consistence of always knowing where it is, but also to simplify seeing other apps in the panel. I don't know if I did something to break things (I almost certainly did) and make it float, but I can't seem to fix it.
I didn't want two (or more) virtual screens, so I think I deleted one, I wanted to simplify everything at first, meaning one screen only, then learn and grow from there. It's possible (read: likely) that something I did allowed the clock etc to float.
Anyway, it's pretty annoying, watching that clock jumping back and forth. Almost as annoying as how long this post has got.
I do thank you for any and all assistance.

Advanced Poker Strategy: 5 Essential Poker Drills
Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
Advancing your poker strategy effectively and efficiently requires intelligent curriculum design. To gain an edge in today's game, you must not only play better. You must study better.
One vastly underused technique is running poker drills.
Why is this "Advanced" Poker Strategy?
Two reasons:
1) Because drills are hard.
You can keep doing it the easy way: reading books and watching videos on the popular training sites, but then your game will be as good as everybody else.
2) Because many of the drills I'm talking about involve repetition of advanced poker tactics.
We learn by repetition. The problem with learning advanced concepts at the table is that the situations may not happen that often. Whereas if you construct drills specific to your topic then you can repeat situations with very high frequencies.
#1 – Memorize your Ranges
The very first thing any aspiring poker pro must do is memorize his starting hands. Begin with your opening range chart, and then move on to cold calls, 3-bets, 4-bets, etc. Check out my complete preflop strategy guide.
There are many reasons why this is essential:
- Pre-flop, you can act instantly without having to think about it. This buys you time to spend on other things like studying your opponents.
- Knowing your range is a prerequisite to more advanced poker strategy topics like analyzing who hits the flop harder.
- Memorizing things is a proven exercise to build brain power.
- You will gain confidence. You're more likely to both get in the zone and to avoid tilt when you're feeling confident.
#2 Pot Odds
Being able to quickly calculate your pot odds is a fundamental skill. If you haven't attained it, then don't wait for situations to arise at the table to practice.
Filter for hands in your database and flip through them, calculating your odds as you go. Use paper/pencil or a calculator at first if necessary. Do it over and over. You will get faster over time (even if math isn't your forte).
You don't have to get it perfect when doing it in your head. Just close enough.
#3 Equity Estimation
Equity means: how likely is your hand to win?
Start with pre-flop situations, such as deciding whether to call a short stack jam. Or you've 4-bet and are trying to decide whether to call the 5-bet.
Or it could be post-flop again considering an all-in call or perhaps you're considering a semi-bluff jam and wondering whether you have enough equity to make it profitable.
As your strategy gets more advanced, move on to post-flop estimation. This could be again deciding whether to call an all-in, or you are simply trying to assess how strong your hand is given a flop and opponent range.
The Poker Ranger tool contains an excellent equity trainer. You list your opponent's range, your range, and the board (or set it to random). Then it will show you a hand from your range and you guess the equity. It will show you how far off you are. You keep trying hands, and it keeps track of your overall score. You can then repeat this drill over time and should see your score improve.
#4 Opponent Ranges
Even beating the small stakes games these days requires a solid ability to put your opponent on a range. You can develop this skill slowly over time like everyone else, or you can hone it fast by running drills.
The best approach again is to start with the simplest scenarios and then get more advanced with your study strategy.
For example, you could assume "average reg" for your opponent. And filter your database for spots where you open and get called. Run through the list of hands (you don't even need to open the replayer) and recite out loud what your opponent's range is for each position.
This may mean you have to go back to your range tool (Equilab, Poker Ranger, etc.) and work on the ranges the first time.
Once you can do this fluidly, you move to the next scenario: your opponent is the opener …then when he is 3-betting, and so on.
Then you should mix all these spots together and run the drill.
Then you swap in "average fish" for reg and repeat the whole process.
And then you start refining your opponent using more granular profiles and statistics.
If you are able to develop this skill to a high level, your post flop play gets much easier and sharper. And you will advance through the stakes more quickly.
#5 EV estimation
As you become more proficient at visualizing both your range and your opponent's range, you're ready to move on to estimating expected value (EV) on the flop.
To determine your best course of action (lines and sizings), you need to know who the flop hit harder.
This is more than just equity. Equity only tells you which hand is likely to win if there is no more action (e.g. all the chips are in or it is checked down). However, factors like position, polarization, and playability significantly effect the profitability of the ranges relative to each other.
We're definitely getting into advanced poker strategy at this point. And drilling these situations requires a GTO solver.
Using the simpler to more advanced approach, I would start with two typical reg ranges and choose a dry flop texture. Make your best guess at who has the advantage. You can say things like: big advantage, small advantage, or even. Hint: estimate who has more nuts, strong hands, top pairs and good draws as a percentage of their entire range.
Then run the scenario in the GTO solver and see how close you are.
Make a list of other dry flops and make your guesses. Then queue them all up in your solver to get the answers.
Next try wet boards.
Next try medium boards.
Then try a new set of ranges.
And so on.
This approach is similar to the scientific method, where you are fixing all variable except one.
It also employs the principles of deliberate practice, where your study activities are very precise and slowly build on each other to continually provide a high degree of challenge.
If you have any questions or have some ideas for other drills, please use the comments section below.

New Belgium's Web site has some babble about this beer springing forth from dreams about acupuncturists and barrels, or some such nonsense. What a shame that is, as this is a exceptionally tasty hot weather beer, and that is a really stupid way to describe it unless their target is new age acupuncturist beer snobs.
Springboard Ale is a very refreshing Belgian Pale Ale that goes down almost too easy. It has a very light fruity and floral nose. It is an interesting straw yellow color, and quite cloudy. The tastes are decidedly citrus at the beginning, both sweet and sour, but very pleasant. This ale has a fairly light mouth feel, but finishes with a crisp, creamy, slightly sweet herbal bitterness with hints of honey. The sides of the glass show traces of very delicate Belgian lace.
According to the bottle it is 98% brewed with Wormwood, Lycium, and Schisandra. This is then blened with 2% that has been aged in oak barrels. For such a light, refreshing beer, this has amazing complexity.
This enjoyable ale would be perfect to serve at a Fourth of July cookout or BBQ! It could be paired with everything from hot dogs to ribs to brisket. Personally, I liked it all by itself.

Swiss ski racer Ramon Zenhaeusern doesn't mind the height jokes.
"Because I am tall," he cracked right back.
At 6-foot-7 (two meters), he's reaching new heights on the slopes. First, he won an Olympic silver medal in the men's slalom. On Saturday, he helped the Swiss team to gold during the Winter Games debut of the team event.
"These two medals are the same value," Zenhaeusern said, when asked which one means more. "Because I think to win a gold medal in the team, it's even nicer than individual because there is a big team behind us. To win that together, a gold medal, for me it's the same."
When he meets someone new, they usually ask him: Do you play basketball?
That's typically followed by: Do you play volleyball?
He did play ice hockey as a kid, along with soccer, tennis and of course skiing. He dropped hockey, then soccer and finally tennis when he was about 12. That left only skiing.
"A lot of people say to me, 'It's better for you to play basketball or volleyball, but not ski,'" he recounted.
Hard to say that now. His father and his coach, two-time World Cup slalom race winner Didier Plaschy, always believed his height wouldn't hold him back.
"Everyone else when I was young didn't think it was possible to ski fast at two meters," Zenhaeusern said.
He's not the only towering ski racer on the World Cup circuit. American downhiller Bryce Bennett is also listed at 6-foot-7.
So, who's taller?
"We were at world juniors once and it was pretty close," Bennett said. "We need an official measurement."

I love in-home newborn photo sessions! As a photographer who aims to capture authentic connection between parents and their children, there is nothing better! These sessions allow me to enter into the sacred space of your home and preserve some of the most fleeting and beautiful memories of your lives. Memories that are so easy to forget like baby's wrinkly, flaky skinned toes, that little stump of umbilical cord (yes, you want to remember that too!), those first little glimpses up into your eyes, the smell of baby's head after their first bath, their incredible smallness which seems to change right before your eyes, the warmth of just rocking them to sleep during a time when nothing else matters in your house except for caring for and staring at this new, magical little person! Yes, all of these things are so precious and in the midst of our busy lives, so easy to forget months, and years down the road.
Your kids are going to ask you questions some day like "mom what was it like when I first got home?" "What did you and daddy look like when I was little?" Kids love to see images of mom and dad, and even more so, images of mom and dad loving on them as a baby. This is why every one of my newborn sessions includes images of you and everyone else in your family - even the furry ones! I also offer a complimentary Maternity Session as part of your purchase.
In-home session are also wonderful because they not only eliminate the stress of taking baby to a studio at the most exhausting period in your life, but they actually allow for a peaceful and relaxing experience for mom, dad, siblings and baby! I provide each family with a plan to help them easily prepare for the day. I bring beautiful wraps, bonnets, and baskets if they wish to use these (essentially a little studio brought to you), but most importantly we approach the session as just a part of your normal day and baby runs the show! If baby needs to eat, we take a break. If baby needs to be changed, no problem. Then we take images of you cuddling and talking to your little one and just relaxing in the beauty of your home. There are so many amazing image that emerge.
This last session was so incredible! Not only was he the most calm and beautiful baby, but you could just feel the love from mom, dad, both grandmas, and even the dog! I had the privilege of being a small part of their journey from weeks before the birth for a chilly maternity session at Hansen Tree Farm to a week after he came home. I am truly grateful for this. It is a chance to capture a family's story as they begin a new chapter in their lives. This is such a precious gift that will bless them for years to come!

Poll: Is contemporary style on the way out?
As shocking as it may seem to fans of young, hip, cool, midcentury contemporary design, this style will not be popular forever.
Stick around on the planet for a few decades, and you'll understand all too well that today's "modern" is tomorrow's "hopelessly dated."
Whenever I find homeowners denigrating Mexican tiles or avocado green appliances from the 1970s, I caution: Think about your karma. Thirty years from now, in a kitchen remodeled today, a young person may gaze upon the stainless steel appliances, glass tile backsplash and sleek cabinets and declare them "totally gross."
I started thinking about the end of our contemporary era when I studied this photo from Architectural Digest. I'm using this luminescent white kitchen (which is in a New York penthouse) as inspiration for my own kitchen update.
Notice how the living room furniture and the railing on that staircase in the background are very contemporary. But look at the kitchen itself. The beadboard on the cabinet doors, the white-washed table and floor, and those metal, farm-style chairs look suspiciously country in flavor.
In another magazine, I read that poofy drapes are coming back into style. And another article asked if it's not time to reconsider growing herbs.
This is all starting to sound like Mother Earth News to me. And if we are headed for a transition from contemporary to earthy, this kitchen says it all.

DayMark Safety Systems is introducing what is essentially an "app store" for the food service industry.
Called Gateway, the system includes a number of cloud-based applications, each designed for use in restaurants, quick-service stores and grab-and-go outlets, as well as in noncommercial kitchens, such as those in schools and universities.
"Because these are cloud-based apps, they can be accessed at one or scores of different food service facilities most anywhere in the world," says Jeff Gayer, vice president of product development for DayMark.
"View these applications as a team, working to help professionals in the [food] industry ensure that the food they serve is safe and healthy, and meets up-to-the-minute regulatory rules and regulations."
According to Gayer, key to the Gateway system are the following applications:
MenuCommand™: Designed for use at the corporate level, this is a centralized management and communication portal for menu data, training materials, and other information critical to the operation of a food service organization.
MenuPilot™: The MenuPilot app takes information directly from MenuCommand, allowing it to be shared with one or hundreds of food service operators around the globe.
Nutritics Insight: This application analyzes more than 60 different nutrients and food ingredients in recipes, including calories, sugar, salt, vitamins, allergens, and glycemic index. It also provides a complete breakdown of recipe costs, costs per portion, and contribution of individual ingredients.
Matt85™: An optional but highly recommended hardware bundle, the Matt85 includes an Android tablet and a Bluetooth-enabled label printer. It is designed to work seamlessly with the Gateway system and is available exclusively through DayMark.
Gayer adds that along with the individual applications, the Gateway system has several new features that should be welcomed in the food service industry, including:
- Enhanced communication. Shelf life, nutritional facts, allergens, and prep data are stored in the cloud and accessible anytime, anywhere, so food service workers can share the same procedures. This also allows for quick and easy food labeling.
- Real-time updates. Menu changes or new compliance regulations can be communicated to all locations instantly.
- Simplified, company-wide learning. Training videos and recipe cards can be created and shared at all sites, providing consistent and thorough staff training.
- Security. The entire cloud-based system keeps data safe and secure. Plus, all updates are handled automatically over the Internet, eliminating the need for USB drives or downloads from FTP sites.
"DayMark is taking steps to revolutionize kitchen automation," Gayer says. "We view Gateway as a major step in ensuring food safety, improving worker efficiency, and ringing up more dollar signs in the food service industry."

My clinical practice is primarily informed by contemporary psychodynamic, multicultural, and cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions. These influences highlight the impact of relationships and social contexts on our self-understanding, the relationship between our perception, emotions, and behavior, and the power of research to shape clinical practice.
Humans are fundamentally social: we understand ourselves through our experiences and relationships. We are also always in a process of reinterpreting our personal histories, which bears upon how we approach new challenges. The transformative force of therapy lies in a deep sensitivity to the relationship between therapist and client. To this end, I work collaboratively with clients to identify goals that will help them work toward self-understanding, increased agency, and new skills to cope with life demands and relationships.

Technical Packaging Award in Japan
Osaka, Japan – September 27, 2017 – Kyocera Document Solutions Inc. is pleased to announce that a new packaging material for protecting the paper feeder of its printers has won the Technical Packaging Award in the Japan Packaging Contest 2017. This contest is held every year under the sponsorship of the Japan Packaging Institute with the aim of promoting development and spread of high-quality packages and packaging techniques throughout the country. This is the twelfth award overall for Kyocera.
Kyocera received the award for "reduction of packaging size using high-performance molded pulp." This is a material developed for the protection of products with external protrusions. Sections of the molded pulp can be folded for protection so that no extra packaging parts are required, resulting in a reduction of overall packaging size. Furthermore, production times and storage requirements are reduced due to the common design of the left and right molded pulps.
All packaging materials used in the shipment of products developed by Kyocera are internally developed and designed, receiving a high reputation at home and abroad for its excellent technology. Kyocera will further continue its efforts to reduce packaging materials and to be environmentally friendly.
