8th Annual Blue Star Nationals
This will be some description under the media in header
AUGUSTA, Ga.– With picturesque Augusta as a backdrop, the 8th annual Blue Star Nationals-Invite Only tournament helped wrap up July recruiting and, as always, did not disappoint. Along with being the only tournament in the area that consistently started games at their scheduled times, the talent inside the Marriott Convention Center was abounding. With four courts located under the same roof, and a fifth for younger teams just minutes up the road, the Blue Star Nationals featured programs from 27 states, as well as one from Canada. College coaches from nearly every Division I conference were in attendance for the three-day event.

01 Aug Thread #91: The Prayers of Pagans and of the Prejudiced
Posted at 00:00h in Podcast, Thread, Thread Season 2 0 Comments
Does God hear the prayers of non-Christians? Is He engaged with them in their daily lives? Does God hear the prayers of prejudiced believers who think that other races are beneath them? They are right in their Bible doctrines but so wrong in the attitude of their hearts toward others. Are they in a better place with God than the one who is ignorant of the way of salvation but who is diligently seeking God? Tune in to this episode of Thread to find out more.

We had morning tea with at retired strategy colleague Robert today. We had a passionate discussion about the process of formulating Corporate Strategy. Robert shared the importance of our respective need to remain objective and as dispassionate as possible, when completing an industry analysis of our own businesses and those of our clients.
Our big clients are often tempted to believe that with enough energy (and money) an Industry's Value Chain can be changed. In few cases this may be possible. Usually, where clients are in a big blue ocean with no other fish around. However, Industry Value Chains are usually the result of a school of competitive forces and shifting customer preferences that evolve over years and are beyond the influence of any one company. As Robert shared, a clear and dispassionate reading of your industry must be accepted as the canvas on which strategy should be considered and developed.

Hi all, thanks for having a look at my own corner of the blogosphere.
This blog serves a few purposes - to inspire others and to motivate myself. I'm not the world's greatest painter, but when I start a new project I like to look at as many pictures as I can to get some ideas. It doesn't have to be a brilliant paint-job to be an inspirational one, just a well-thought out paint-job. I love nothing more than trawling the net for pics of painted miniatures to get ideas from, so I hope you find something here that you can use, and if not, I hope you enjoy your stay anyway :)
Secondly, I hope the desire to keep regular blog updates helps keep me motivated on certain projects. Like most painters I have far too many projects on the go at once and a ridiculous back-log that seems to be a never diminishing pile!
I also hope that my photography of minis improves throughout the course of keeping this blog. It is fairly basic at the moment, and I do intend to practice to get better results.
Cheers all!

Arming the Post
Assistant Curator Jessica is fascinated by our weapons collection - but why do we have one? Why did the mail need guns?
In the 18th century travel was hazardous to all. Highwaymen stalked the roads and those leading into London were said to be 'infested' with robbers. Romantic tales of masked, gallant gentleman were far from the truth: highwaymen were ruthless and deadly.
On 4 December 1775, a Norwich stagecoach was attacked by a gang of seven highwaymen. The guard shot three robbers before being killed and the coach robbed. Richard 'Dick' Turpin, a famous highwayman of the time, was known to torture his victims and would even kill one of his companions to aid his own escape.
'… recommending the Guarding of all the Horse Mails, as a measure of national importance to which the Public in some degree conceived themselves entitled…'
Francis Freeling, Resident Surveyor, 14th March 1796
A plan was written to guard all horse mails, which included the arming of all guards. In doing so the Post Office would not only secure the vast property conveyed by horse, but also save the expenses incurred in prosecuting a robber. Furthermore, it would maintain regularity of service and eliminate what was seen as a disgrace to both the Office and to the nation.
Surveyors observed that the revenue lost to robbery was twice the sum it would cost to guard the mail: it was the obvious choice.
In 1784, John Palmer introduced the first mail coach from Bristol to London. This faster and well-armed postal service proved to be a great deterrent to robbers, as they risked being shot or, if caught, tried and hanged. The first recorded robbery of a mail coach did not occur until 25 July 1786.
A letter to joint Postmaster Generals asking for the establishment of a regional mail coach was signed by over 100 people, whose businesses had been damaged due to the frequency of robberies. Mail coaches were a better way of securing the post's safe passage, though there are a few recorded instances of attempted robberies even of them.
In January 1816, an Enniskillen coach was attacked and robbed by a gang of 14 men who had barricaded the road. The guards fired off all of their ammunition but the mail bags and weapons were all stolen.
The chances of hitting the target with a pistol were small, so a popular choice for Mail Guards became the blunderbuss, an intimidating weapon good at close range. Royal Mail began using blunderbusses in 1816, loaded with 10 or 12 shots 'the size of a pea' and a small amount of powder.
Some blunderbusses like the one in our collection featured a bayonet, held in place by a clip with a strong spring that would sweep forward and lock into position, allowing the guard to thrust it quickly at the attacker.
Along with a blunderbuss, the Mail Guard was issued with a a pair of flintlock pistols. We know little about the system in which they were ordered, issued and numbered, but engraved around the muzzle of our collection's blunderbuss is 'FOR HIS MAJESTY'S MAIL COACHES'. They also often featured the number and gun maker. The wording of the engraving was not standard and not all Post Office issued weapons were marked.
In 1793 Thomas Hacker reported after inspection that many weapons had been forgotten, lost or were in poor condition. In 1816 it was reported that too many accidents were happening. The journey must have been dull at times and a turnpike, swinging inn sign or mail post was a tempting target, and so a fine of £5 was made for any firing of arms that was not in defence of the property or passengers.
'… use the utmost vigilance to compel the Guards to keep their Arms in a clean and proper state fit for defence of the important property they are trusted with.'
Francis Freeling to the Surveyors
The lawless character of the 18th century promoted the development of the 'pocket pistol', a weapon that suited the increasingly popular style of fitted pockets in garments. It would have been easy to conceal, proving useful if attacked. Our collection's pocket pistol has limited provenance, but what we do know suggests it was carried by a Post Boy.
Robberies of Post Boys were common; they were often young and unarmed. Two of the most brutal robberies took place in September 1791 when a post boy, James Hogworth, was murdered one mile from Warrington, and in October 1816 when a post boy was assaulted 'in a most desperate and inhuman manner' near the village of Aplington, leaving him unable to work.
In 1797 the theft of £100 was committed by a 12-year-old Post Boy. This not only highlighted that some were underage, but also the value of material carried by the post. Freeling wrote suggestions to improve and protect Post Boys, including raising the minimum age to 18, ensuring that all were of good character, providing them with arms and giving each a strong cap to protect their heads.
As railways spread across the country, the last mail coach left Manchester in 1855. Mail Guards remained employed under the 1838 Carriage of Mail Act, which stated that a railway could only carry mail if accompanied by Mail Guards, but by 1848 this was lifted and railways could employ their own.
Weapons were not only used on the roads to protect the post: overseas mail was carried by packet ships, small fast vessels which, like their crews, were well armed. Henry Nocks, a well-known gun maker in London, supplied many pistols for these voyages like the flintlock pistol pictured above.
However, packet ships proved too expensive for the Post Office, and in 1836 service was transferred to the Admiralty. Armed Mail Guards began to disappear.
Want to see the real thing? A selection of fine weapons is on display in the museum!

"It is of the greatest indulgence that we enter into a Carnival theme outlining the story of Manchester's first gang culture. Ancoats, in the city's northern quarter was home to the Bengal Street Tigers, and in this year of India's celebration we intend to address a hidden history linking Cottonopolis to St Mark's football team of 1894 and the great Manchester City Football Club. Both Artist, Designers Sharon George and Paul McLaren of Shademakers can claim rightful heritage to the city, whose fathers were born in Ancoats and Collyhurst respectively. It is by way of homage to a place which has become a distant staging post in the life of two carnival protagonists who have continued on a path of poor migration to a life of absurd fantasy from the city we owe so much to, whose greatest export was arms and legs. We are many and they are few." Paul McLaren
First presented at Nice Carnival 2017, Tiger Tiger has up to 15 fully articulated tiger costume back packs complete with lights.
This may be combined with up to 10 tiger dancer costumes.

I finally made an appointment with Betty to get my hair cut tomorrow. I should have done this a month ago, but somehow other things always got in the way. This entire month has been this way. I'm behind on just about everything because other things keep getting in the way. At least I'm staying current with my writing assignments. I wrote two watch articles today, so I'm just about back up to speed with this client. Just about all the website revisions that accumulated while I was on vacation are finished now as well. All I need to do now is find some sort of resolution to my neck problems and I'll be good to go.
If you haven't tried Google+ yet, you ought to give it a whirl. I noticed recently that it's open to everybody now and you don't need an invitation anymore. I've never learned anything on Facebook, other than that people I know in real life hate my Twitter feed. In contrast, I learn something interesting and new almost every day on Google+.
Tomorrow's another day. Maybe I'll get a check in the mail. Maybe I'll wake up feeling wonderful. Maybe I'll feel like drinking coffee again. Who knows...anything could happen.

#Samsung has freshly started rolling out a new firmware update for the #GearS2 smartwatch that brings forth a very crucial feature on board – improved battery life. The smartwatch comes with a pretty decent battery life already, but this new update should probably make it even better, which is pretty amazing for something like a smartwatch.
The update comes with the version number R730TUVU1AOL3 and weighs in a measly 4.85MB, suggesting that it doesn't have any major features bundled in. Going by this, there's not going to be much on board here apart from the battery enhancements. The Gear S2 is one of the few smartwatches out there that offers decent battery backup and this update makes it even better.
It might take some time to hit all units, so don't lose patience if you're not seeing the update on your wearable yet. The change log doesn't mention anything apart from the battery enhancements, so it's clear that Samsung is focusing on the battery life with this update.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's a great pleasure to see you again. As you know, I came back from my trip to Abu Dhabi, South Sudan and Rome.
I have just briefed the Security Council on my visit to South Sudan.
Ladies and gentlemen, I was extremely alarmed by what I saw and heard during my brief visit to South Sudan. The threat of massive famine is a clear and present danger. If the conflict continues, half of South Sudan's 12 million people will be run out of their homes, starving or dead by the end of this year.
The United Nations Mission in South Sudan, UNMISS, is sheltering more than 80,000 people -- a major advance in civilian protection that has saved many thousands of people. But our peacekeeping bases are not designed to accommodate such an influx, the situation is fragile and many people remain unprotected.
I welcome the agreement signed in Addis Ababa on Friday between President Salva Kiir and former Vice President, Dr. Riek Machar. I thank the leaders of IGAD, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, in particular Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn of Ethiopia, and to the United States Secretary of State, John Kerry, who pressed for this meeting to happen.
Now the onus is on President Kiir and former Vice President Machar to set aside their power struggle and accelerate the momentum for peace.
The top priority is to end the violence so people can plant their crops. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be serious famine after the rainy season is over. However, fighting is still continuing, and fear remains widespread.
To avoid famine, we are calling for 30 days of tranquility. I have also called for a tribunal to ensure accountability for the crimes committed by both sides. I urge donors to provide generous support at next week's humanitarian conference in Norway, to be organized jointly by Norway and the United Nations on 20 May.
Let me turn now the crisis in Ukraine, which continues to escalate, especially in the east and south of the country.
Over the past weeks, there has been much violence and little dialogue. I call on all those who have sought to undermine Ukraine's unity, territorial integrity and stability to immediately cease such actions. The authorities in Kiev should also continue to respond to such acts with maximum restraint and within the parameters of Ukrainian law and international human rights principles.
I urge all sides to find a way back to the spirit of compromise that was exhibited on 17 April in Geneva, and to implement the provisions of that agreement without delay.
I appeal to all the people of Ukraine to express their grievances and aspirations peacefully, including by casting their ballots in the presidential elections on 25 May.
There is still time to halt the descent of Ukraine into full-blown conflict.
Finally, I wish to express my profound anguish over the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria. I stand in solidarity with them and with the distraught families coping with this appalling abuse of fundamental human rights.
I spoke to President Goodluck Jonathan last Thursday. He assured me that he is making every effort to obtain their release, but would welcome more information, including satellite imagery that could help in the search. I have conveyed his message to Member States.
The threat posed by Boko Haram is not an isolated issue. It requires us to strengthen counter-terrorism and our efforts against piracy, human trafficking and the illicit drug trade. In a region with porous borders, it demands strengthened regional cooperation.
That is why I have sent Mr. Said Djinnit, the Head of the UN Office for West Africa, to Abuja. He is on the ground now for meetings with President Goodluck Jonathan and other senior Government officials in Nigeria.
As we focus on rescuing the girls, we must help those who managed to escape. With counselling, we can supplement the support of their families and communities.
The United Nations is strongly committed to helping Nigeria address this situation and other internal challenges.
Thank you.
Q: A question, Secretary-General, on South Sudan .You proposed the idea of a hybrid tribunal. When you spoke to the two leaders, President [Salva] Kiir and [Riek] Machar, what was their reaction to this idea, because they could end up being prosecuted by that court?
SG: The human rights inquiry commission by UNMISS reveals, discovered that there is significant ground that crimes against humanity have been committed by both sides. That is why I have requested the Security Council to consider, to establish a hybrid or international tribunal to address this issue. It is up to the Member States of the Security Council to discuss this matter, to decide. But my message to President Salva Kiir and both was quite clear and loud: that we have found crimes against humanity by both sides, so you must stop this, otherwise those perpetrators will have to be held accountable. This is a fundamental principle of international human rights law. It is a firm principal of the United Nations.
Q: Secretary-General, you have sent Said Djinnit to Nigeria. He will be meeting with the President tomorrow, and you have Gordon Brown involved for issues after the release. Is there anything the United Nations can do to serve as mediator or to help rescue the girls?
SG: Because of a lack of information or intelligence, even the Nigerian Government has been appealing to us, and some countries who would have such capacity, to provide information. That is why I really sent a high-level delegation to first discuss this matter with the Nigerian President and Government officials, on what and how the United Nations and Member States can help them, and I am also going to discuss with our senior advisors tomorrow, to talk about strategy. And in any way, at this time, I do not have any specific ideas that I can tell you. But I am very much committed to work with key Member States on this.
Q: Thank you, Mr. Secretary-General. On Syria, you didn't mention Syria. I wonder whether Syria is still a top priority in your agenda, and whether you still have any hope for a political solution since President [Bashar al] Assad is running for new elections and the Syrian authorities are carrying on with this. Also, Mr. [Lakhdar] Brahimi is going to leave us soon, as we hear every day here. How do you view the future of the Syrian crisis? Thank you.
SG: It is still a continuing priority of the United Nations, to address the Syrian tragedy in four dimensions, four tracks.
First, the political solution: Unfortunately we do not have brighter political space at this time for resuming a Geneva III meeting. I had a meeting with Lakhdar Brahimi today. We discussed various options – how we can do it. What is most troubling is that while Member States have started to discuss Geneva negotiations, the Syrian Government has announced to have an election on 3 June. It has already been stated that it is not compatible with the letter and spirit of the Geneva communiqué.
At the same time, violence is continuing, and I welcome this brief pause in Homs by which many people could leave. All this violence must stop so that we can reach more than 3.5 million people whom we have not been able to reach. They are the hardest-to-reach people, so we are really having a serious humanitarian crisis; a political solution is not being found at this time.
At the same time, we are continuing to destroy chemical weapons. Our target is 30 June. We have, as of last week, 93 percent or so have been destroyed. We will have to continue to destroy the remaining seven percent. We are closely working with the OPCW [Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons]. There is an allegation that other chemical weapons might have been used, so investigations are going on. I hope this report will come out soon.
The human rights area - we are still continuously documenting and investigating human rights violations. It is still our top priority. At the same time, as you can see, we have many crises happening all at the same time in Ukraine, South Sudan and Central African Republic.
My message to world leaders is that we should have comprehensive overall views and positions to address all these issues, including development issues – addressing climate change and sustainable development. While leaders are focussing their time and energy on political and security issues, I think that is not desirable. We should be more comprehensive and balanced.
Q: You praised the agreement – the South Sudan agreement that was reached in Addis. But it seems that since then, both sides have said that the ceasefire has been broken, and also the Government of Salva Kiir has said there will be no election in 2015; that it should be put back two or three years. I wondered if you think that is a good thing for the country, and also what role does IGAD regional force, in your view, should play with UNMISS? Should they coordinate militarily? Should it be under UNMISS? What does the UN think of that?
SG: It is disappointing that this agreement on Friday has not been implemented and has not been honoured. The fighting has taken place in the area of Bentiu, and I am urging the two leaders to abide by their agreement.
At the same time, the special envoys of IGAD met this morning to discuss this matter. We will continue to work with the IGAD leadership. I myself, as well as my Special Representative, Hilde Johnson, will continue to contact both leaders, so that they are committed to meet their obligations which they signed just a few days ago.
When political leaders commit themselves, they should honour their commitment. We will continue to do that, and I asked the Security Council that they should continuously be engaged, and render strong political messages, including taking necessary measures.
Q: Secretary-General, first a clarification. You referred to Geneva III, I don't know whether this is something that you plan to tie the hands of the person who will take up after Lakhdar Brahimi in a Geneva process, or are you going to give them the authority to do what they want to do… but my real question is about a certain Member State now is moving with a draft resolution on accountability in Syria – going to the ICC [International Criminal Court] – and they are using 2139 as the authority, the Resolution that gives authority to move on.
You have been seen by some, Secretary-General, as rather timid recently in your criticism of the atrocities in Syria, including the catastrophic situation there. Do you not think that it is time to use your further authority, your moral authority, as Secretary-General and be less timid in dealing with these atrocious atrocities in Syria?
SG: You should never doubt my strong commitment – morally, politically – as Secretary-General of the United Nations to address this issue. Simply, the international community has been divided, and is still divided. It is not able to agree on a simple reconvening a Geneva conference. That is quite deplorable. I really hope, and I am urging the leaders of the countries concerned, to really show their political and moral responsibility.
There have been a lot of human rights violations, crimes against humanity. A Commission of Inquiry, established by the Human Rights Council, have documented and investigated all this. And I, as you said, I understand that some Member States are raising the issue of referring this to the ICC. But that should be decided by the Security Council as a collective decision. I am not in a position to comment on this matter.
But I have made it quite clear that it is a fundamental principal and position of the United Nations that whoever committed crimes against humanity and gross violations of international human rights and humanitarian law must be brought to justice. This is a firm principal. Now it is up to the members of the Security Council what kind of venue they are going to take to bring all these perpetrators to justice. I will continue to consult with the members of the Council.
Q: Yes, Mr. Secretary, you were in Rome, and you met with the Pope. Just a follow-up on the question of moral stature, moral authority: In all these crises, you, like the Pope, have moral power. Did you exchange ideas on how to use it? Did Pope Francis have some ideas for you on how to make sure that this moral power gets more effective?
SG: I have been stating and urging the position based on my moral and political power and conscience, urging the actors involved to do their own work for humanity. So many people have already been killed and the situation - this crisis has now entered its fourth year. How long can this situation continue this way? This is a totally unacceptable situation. This is why I am urging the Security Council and world leaders to be united. It is irresponsible that the world is not able to address this issue.
Thank you very much.

Living trusts offer many benefits, including avoiding probate, sharing assets with friends or family, providing for professional management of trust property, protecting property from creditors, and saving money on taxes.
Avoid Probate
When you die, your property goes through a process called probate. In probate, a court distributes your property to the heirs whom you designate in your will. If you have no will, your estate is handled according to state law. Any property owned by your trust, and not by you, does not have to go through probate, which can save time and money for your heirs.
Share Property
When you create a living trust, you can name one or more beneficiaries. This means you can share the benefits of property with your family, friends or loved ones while you are still alive.
Professional Management
When you create a living trust, you can choose whom to appoint as trustee. The trustee manages the trust property. You can appoint a professional trustee, such as a financial investor, to handle the money in order to produce more income.
If you put your property into an irrevocable living trust, then your personal creditors have a much more difficult time getting the property.
Tax Savings
If you put your property into an irrevocable living trust, then the income on the property in the trust is taxed to the trust, not to you personally. If your trust is in a lower income tax bracket than you personally, this results in a net income tax savings.

Protests were staged early yesterday morning outside the president's residence and the Presidential Office Building by a group of young labor rights campaigners upset by the government's proposal to cut seven national holidays.
The protests came just hours after a marathon 13-hour review session at the Legislative Yuan on Thursday that lasted until 10pm before proposed amendments to the Labor Standards Act (勞動基準法) were sent on to the Social Welfare and Environmental Hygiene Committe.
Labor groups staged a sit-in for about an hour outside President Tsai Ing-wen's (蔡英文) residence before moving to near the Presidential Office Building.
They called on Tsai to stop the amendments that would reduce national holidays from clearing the legislature.
Presidential Office spokesperson Alex Huang (黃重諺) said the proposed amendments are being processed in the legislature and different views are to be respected.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government's proposed amendments to the Labor Standards Act call for reducing number of national holidays from 19 to 12 and "one flexible rest day and one fixed day off" every seven days, which are to accommodate the change from the schedule of 84 working hours over a two-week period to a 40-hour workweek passed during former president Ma Ying-jeou's (馬英九) administration.
Labor groups and opposition parties are against the reduced holidays and the "one flexible rest day and one fixed day off" proposals, saying "rest days" could easily be used by the employers as extra working days because they are not like "fixed days off," which under current regulations do not allow working except for circumstances such as natural disasters and emergencies.
The amendments would lead to an increase in total working hours, they say.
The committee resolved to have most of the amendments discussed in additional cross-caucus negotiations before being put on the legislative floor agenda for final readings.
The New Power Party (NPP), which had insisted on "two fixed days off" every seven days, on Thursday altered its motion to propose allowing working rest days with better overtime pay and guaranteed overtime compensatory leave.
Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmakers continued to insist on "two fixed days off," while Minister of Labor Kuo Fong-yu (郭芳煜) said that the "one rest day and one day off" system would be more flexible than the "two fixed days off" schedule.
Motions to amend Article 37 concerning the number of holidays were also sent for negotiations, but at the request of KMT lawmakers, the committee conducted a vote, with seven DPP lawmakers voting for a reduction while three KMT lawmakers and one NPP lawmaker were against it.
Other motions that need cross-caucus negotiations include one to increase the penalties for employers' violations such as failing to pay minimum wage and overworking employees, which were deemed too lenient to deter employers from choosing to pay fines instead of abiding by the law.
A few amendments were passed without further negotiations, including a resolution that workers should be granted at least a full 11-hour rest period between shifts.
DPP caucus whip Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘) on late Thursday said that he expects the amendments, including those that require cross-caucus negotiations, to clear the legislative floor before the end of the year.

Online Craps
Craps is a game with a rich and colourful history. It has been played everywhere from the streets of New York to the most famous casinos in the world. Craps has been featured in popular media and is very often used to set a mood for danger, excitement, and bad-boy behaviour. It is one of the central plot points of the famous Broadway hit Guys and Dolls. The history of craps is somewhat long and winding and may go all the way back to the crusades. Crusaders who were manning a siege around the castle Asart would play with dice to pass the time. The game became known for the castle and was played for decades as Hazard until it made its way around France. It was still primarily played by people crouching on street corners that were referred to as crapauds, the French word for toads. It later was shortened to craps when it moved back to Anglo countries.
Craps has never stopped growing in popularity and easily made the transition to online craps where it remains a staple in just about every online casino including, of course, our preferred casinos.

How To Play Craps
Some gamblers avoid craps because they don't understand the rules or believe it to be an overly complicated game. Learn the basics, give it a try, and you'll find that it really is not that difficult.
Let's first take a look at the few components. There is a reason the craps table is so recognisable; the higher sides of the table form an arena where the dice can be thrown without much risk of them ending up across the room. The playing field of the table is marked with sections for the bets allowed during play, and the final piece of the game is the standard six-sided dice.
Craps is a game where several people may place bets on each round, but there is only one player or shooter. Play is also divided into two parts, the Come Out and the Point.
A round begins with players placing bets on the table either for or against the shooter. Once the bets are in, the shooter is given the dice and must throw them onto the table with enough force to make them bounce off of the far wall of the playing field. If the shooter gets the natural, they may continue to roll. If they get craps, their turn is over, and if they get the point, then they continue to roll until they roll either their point for a win or a 7 for a loss.
Online craps differs very little from the casino version except there are fewer people jostling around the table. To begin:
- In online craps, you are typically the shooter. You begin your play by placing either a pass line or don't pass line bet.
- You then roll the dice and win, lose, or continue to roll depending on your bet and the results of the roll.
- If you got your point and continue to roll, then you do so until your point comes around again for a win or you get seven, and you lose the bet.
Craps Bets
There are many options for bets in both casino and online craps. Here, we will look at the mores standard bets. For a detailed article on craps betting and strategies, check this out <here>.
- Pass Line Bet – This means that you are wagering that the shooter will roll either 7 or 11 points, also known as a natural, between the two dice. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12, that is craps, and the round is over. The numbers which remain, 4,5,6,8,9, and 10 are called points, and if they turn up in the initial roll, then they must show up again before a 7 comes around again, or the bet is lost.
- Don't Pass Line Bet – This is the exact opposite of the Pass Line. Here you are betting against the shooter rolling a natural, you hope for craps, and if a point is rolled, then you hope to see a 7 before the point is rolled again.
- Come Bet – Basically the same as the Pass Line, but is only allowed after the point has been set for the round.
- Don't Come – this mirrors the Don't Pass bet and is only allowed after the point has been set for the round.
Craps Odds & House Edge
As we mentioned, there are many bets available in craps, and they come into play at different points in the game. These additional bets are called the odds bets and are a type of side bet that players can add to the table during play. Odds bets are placed on the likelihood of specific roll results and whether they will or will not show up. These bets have a lower house edge on a game that already has a low house edge making them very attractive.
The house edge in craps ranges from 0.42% to almost 17% depending on the roll and type of bet. To do odds bets and the house edge calculations justice, they would need their own full page, so we're going to do just that. You can read more about that your chances of winning here.
Variations Of Online Craps
Because craps is one of the most often played table games in any casino, it is no surprise that many variations on the game have been developed for online craps play. Below are a few of the more popular variations along with their differences.
- Die Rich Craps – This interesting twist on the standard is only played with a single die. If you roll a 6 after the first roll, you win, but if a 1 shows up, you lose. The remaining numbers, 2-5 are the points. Once the point is set, you have three rolls to hit it again, or you lose the bet, and the round is over.
- Bastard Craps – Also known as crapless craps, this variation moves the 11 from the status of a 'natural' leaving just a 7 in this category. The 11 is considered a 'point' making it easier to establish the point and continue rolling. The 'crapless' part of the game is due to 2, 3, and 12 being removed as craps on the first roll. This also means there is no 'Don't pass line bet' in the first round since there is no way to lose at that point.
- High Point Craps – In this version, the 2 and 3 are neither winning nor losing rolls, while 11 and 12 are considered wins. The remaining numbers are points, and instead of having to set a point and then roll it again, you set a point and then hope to roll a higher point on each consecutive roll.
Craps is definitely one of those games that becomes more exciting and fun as you learn more about it. Although it may seem complicated initially, it is well worth taking the time to practice your skills and improve your game. It will even get easier every time you play. There are variations that keep it exciting, and even the standard game has much to offer with its wide variety of bets. It is certainly easy to see why craps is held in such high regard in our collective pop-culture. Visit one of our preferred online craps casinos and try it out for yourself today!

AGCAS Report on Employment of Disabled Graduates
The latest report commissioned by the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services AGCAS Disability Task group into the destinations of disabled graduates has been published and the results are examined in this article by Keren Coney, a careers consultant at Keele University. The report finds that of all the disability groups, autistic graduates were least likely to be in full-time employment and most likely to be unemployed. Indeed, for this group of graduates, unemployment figures actually increased with increasing qualification level. Autistic graduates (at all qualification levels) who had obtained employment were less likely to have secured this on a permanent basis than any other disability group; this group also had the higher proportions employed on a voluntary basis. These findings demonstrate the acute need for the specialist employment related mentoring support funded by Autism Forward.

We look forward to coming within a hair's width of a coronary every September, thanks to the State Fair of Texas' fried-food bonanza. This year is no different. The State Fair has announced the 2010 finalists for the annual Big Tex Choice Awards, with promising entries, ones that could top last year's ball of heaven, Abel Gonzales' fried butter. This year Gonzales is offering fried chocolate. (Fried butter is indeed a hard act to follow.) Among our favorites (all finalists listed below) are the fried club salad and the fried beer.
Thought up by Mark Zable, whose Sweet Jalapeno Corn Dog Shrimp was one of the 2009 Big Tex Choice Award finalists, the fried beer comes in pretzel-like, ravioli-shaped dough. One bite and you've got a miniature kegger shot. Sampling it, though, requires being 21 years of age or older. Zable even has a patent pending on his mad-scientist creation and is making it available for wholesale and retail.
The fried salad, created by Christi Erpillo, is diced ham and chicken, shredded iceberg, julienne carrot strips, cherry tomatoes, shredded sharp cheddar and hickory smoked bacon stuffed in a 12" spinach wrap. It's then presented on shredded romaine lettuce with croutons. Fair-goers will have a choice of three salad dressings: Ranch, Thousand Island, or Caesar. Erpillo won the 2009 best tasting award for her fried peaches & cream.
The winners for best taste and most creative will be announced on Labor Day, with all the finalists' concoctions available for public consumption when the fair opens, September 24. Make the jump for the full list.

LONDON Aravind Adiga, 33, won the 40th Man Booker prize on Tuesday night for his debut novel, "The White Tiger," a vivid exploration of India's class struggle told through the story of a village boy who becomes the chauffeur to a rich man.
Mr. Adiga, who lives in Mumbai, was born in India and brought up partly in Australia. He studied at Columbia and Oxford and is a former correspondent for Time magazine in India. He is the second youngest writer to win the award; Ben Okri was 32 when he won for "The Famished Road" in 1991.
Michael Portillo, a former cabinet minister and the chairman of this year's panel of judges, praised Mr. Adiga's novel, saying that the short list had contained a series of "extraordinarily readable page-turners." However, Mr. Adiga's book had prevailed, he said, "because the judges felt that it shocked and entertained in equal measure."
Mr. Adiga said his book was an "attempt to catch the voice of the men you meet as you travel through India the voice of the colossal underclass."
"This voice was not captured," he added, "and I wanted to do so without sentimentality or portraying them as mirthless humorless weaklings as they are usually."
When he accepted the award, Mr. Adiga dedicated it to "the people of New Delhi where I lived and where I wrote this book." When asked what he would do with the money, Mr. Adiga joked, "The first thing I am going to do is to find a bank that I can actually put it in."
The Man Booker prize, Britain's best-known and most generous literary award, is given annually to a novel written by an author from Britain, Ireland or the Commonwealth nations and is accompanied by a check for £50,000 about $86,000 as well as an inevitable increase in sales.
This year's list of finalists was one of the least star-studded in recent years. It included two first-time novelists, and several of the favorites were snubbed by judges. Joseph O'Neill's critically acclaimed "Netherland" was omitted from the short list, as was "The Enchantress of Florence" by Salman Rushdie.
As a result, bookmakers were divided over the likely winner, oscillating between Mr. Adiga and the Irish writer Sebastian Barry, 53, whose book "The Secret Scripture" is the story of an Irish patient in a mental hospital sharing her shocking family history with her psychiatrist.
The other books on the shortlist were "Sea of Poppies" by Amitav Ghosh, "The Clothes on Their Backs" by Linda Grant, "The Northern Clemency" by Philip Hensher and "A Fraction of the Whole" by Steve Toltz.

Quick Reference
Coloured fluid used for writing, drawing, or printing. Inks usually have staining power without body, but printers' inks—pigments mixed with oil and varnish—are opaque. The use of inks goes back in China and Egypt to at least 2500 bc. The earliest known type was produced from lampblack (a pigment made from soot) ground into a solution of glue or gums. These materials could be moulded into dry sticks or blocks, which were then mixed with water for use. Ink brought from China or Japan in such dry form came to be known in the West as 'Chinese ink' or 'Indian ink'. The names are also given to a similar preparation used today. Other materials that have been used to make ink include plant dyes, soot (see bistre) and fluids from marine creatures (see sepia). Most modern inks use soluble synthetic dyes as the colouring agent.

Monsieur Sashimi
We're now in the Savu Sea, our last leg of the trip. 160 miles to the island of Rote and we'll drop the anchor ! And to make it even better for our last night, we finally caught a proper fish ! This 8 kg Yellowfin Tuna will be on the menu for many meals to come...
But not tonight, the wind is picking up again really fast and it will probably not be comfortable to cook down in the galley. But at least it seems we will have no rain tonight.

Back in September when my good friend Kelli told me she was leaving her job at Greatist, I was super super sad. Kelli was sort of my partner in crime at work in a lot of ways — I could always count on her to join me in inappropriately early office cocktails, and to join me on office errands or planning group activities (and making sure they actually happened seamlessly).
But when I found out a little more about the company she was going to work for, I was super excited for her, and that this new company existed! Blue Apron is a grocery delivery service that sets you up with pre-measured ingredients and recipes/instructions for three meals every week (each recipe serves 2). They come up with some really awesome, inventive recipes and give you basically everything you need to make them. It's home cooking made easy, basically.
So one weekend a few months back after she started her new job, Kelli invited me over to test out a Blue Apron recipe and see for myself how their product worked. There was chopping and sautéeing and also lots of drinking. (It was this Saturday evening Kelli introduced me to my new go-to cocktail, the sidecar. I'll have to share one of those recipes very soon…) The recipe we made — Ginger Beef Stir-Fry with Tatsoi and Jasmine Rice — was full of flavor and came with a pretty good proportion of protein-to-veggie-to-carb. We threw it together in less than 30 minutes and were perfectly full after chowing down. Blue Apron currently offers both Meat/Fish and Vegetarian boxes, and as soon as they offer a gluten-free box, I'll definitely be signing up!
Head on over to Blue Apron for the recipe! And check out what they have in the lineup for next week and see if they deliver to your area, too. It's a really fun concept to give a try, and I highly encourage you to test it out.
While you're waiting for your first box to arrive (wink, wink), here are a few of their other recipes I've been dying to give a try!
- Merguez-style Brochettes with Cauliflower "Couscous" and Salsa Verde
- Pork Tamales with Smoked Chili Sauce and Mango (Note: I actually tried this one with my friend/coworker Jordan, and it was BOMB (see photo!))
- Fennel-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Grapefruit, Mustard Greens, and Black Rice
- Chicken Thigh with Smashed Purple Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts

Decline of 0.4% to $695,788 – dragged down by the Sydney market – follows 13 consecutive quarters of growth
The median capital city house price has fallen for the first time in three years.
The price across all capital cities fell, albeit marginally, to $695,788 in the December quarter, dragged down by a decline in the Sydney market. The 0.4% decline followed 13 consecutive quarters of growth in the weighted average median house price, the Real Estate Institute of Australia said.
The institute president, Neville Sanders, said strong growth in Hobart, Canberra and Brisbane and marginal increases in Darwin and Perth were unable to offset falling median house prices in Sydney and Melbourne. Adelaide recorded no change over the quarter.
"Sydney, the strongest market in the recent years, showed the largest decrease in median prices, leaving some commentators speculating whether the city's housing market has reached its peak," Sanders said. Sydney's median house price fell by 2.5% in the quarter.
The median house price for the capital cities was up 7.4% compared with the December quarter of 2014, with rises in each of the capitals except Perth.
"Annual growth is still strong but lower compared to what we observed over the last couple of years," Sanders said.
• Australian median house price $695,788 (down 0.4% in December quarter)
• Sydney down 2.5% to $1,025,478
• Melbourne down 0.1% to $718,000
• Hobart up 9.8% to $392,000
• Canberra up 3.7% to $593,000
• Brisbane up 3.2% to $490,000
• Darwin up 0.5% to $608,750
• Perth up 0.4% to $535,000
• Adelaide steady at $430,000

A recent 2014 Eco-Focus® Trend Study introduced the Eco-Fresh Shopper, a growing segment of eco-conscious consumers who spend more than $2.9 trillion dollars in groceries annually. This group has distinct needs when shopping for food and beverages. In addition to freshness, personal health (76%) and the environment (60%) are top of mind for these consumers. A product's package can greatly influence their perception of a product's quality in these respects.
Living the Healthy, Eco-Friendly Lifestyle
78 percent of these shoppers believe that better personal health is one of the major benefits of their lifestyle, and they are taking extra steps to incorporate fresh foods and beverages into their family's diet, such as:
Packaging Matters
Beverage manufacturers and retailers often have only one shot to make an impactful first impression. Packaging can be used strategically to communicate better taste, freshness, and environmental responsibility to targeted consumers.
When it comes to taste, Eco-Fresh consumers associate some packaging materials with negatively altering how a beverage tastes. Packaging such as steel cans (55%), aluminum cans (49%) and plastic bottles (43%) are ranked most likely by Eco-Fresh Shoppers to change a beverage's taste.
Eco-Fresh Shoppers also consider the packaging they buy in order to reduce their exposure to chemicals from food and beverage packaging (65%). Topping the list of materials Eco-Fresh Shoppers perceive to leave undesirable chemicals in beverages, include:
Another major concern among Eco-Fresh consumers is the safety of preservatives in foods and beverages (58%). When compared to aluminum cans, flexible pouches and plastic bottles, they view refrigerated cartons as one of the best packaging materials to protect freshness without preservatives.
To meet this market segment's growing desire for fresh choices, manufacturers can use paperboard cartons with unique barrier technology, which help to keep oxygen out, vitamins and taste in, lock in freshness, and keep foods cold longer.

Thanks to movies like the Harry Potter series, Twilight and Hunger Games, young adult has become the hottest genre in Hollywood after superheroes. The films come with built-in audiences who gobbled up the books. They can often be made on relatively cheap budgets and they spawn lucrative sequels.
For a while there, YA seemed like as close to a sure thing as you could get in Hollywood. But then came a string of misses. Movies like Beautiful Creatures, Mortal Instruments and Ender's Game failed to live up to box office expectations. Although every studio would love to find the next Hunger Games, the genre is suddenly looking risky. Hollywood seriously needs another big YA hit.
So the pressure on Divergent, which opens this weekend, is enormous. Based on a trilogy of books by author Veronica Roth, Divergent tells the story of a dystopic future where everyone is divided into tribes based on their main personality attribute (bravery, kindness, wisdom etc.). Our hero, Tris, doesn't fit neatly into any one category so she is considered divergent. The story is really about fitting in or going your own way set against a life or death background.
Producer Lucy Fisher is acutely aware of what's at stake this weekend. The former vice-chairman of Sony's Columbia Pictures, Fisher runs Red Wagon Entertainment with her husband Doug Wick. The pair has produced movies like Jar Head, Memoirs of a Geisha and most recently, The Great Gatsby. She got a hold of the manuscript for Divergent before the book went to publishers. She immediately sparked to Roth's writing. The author was only 21 at the time.
"Veronica has authenticity to her voice because she is a kid writing about kids as opposed to someone older," says Fisher.
She was also strongly drawn to the theme of female empowerment and that Tris is someone who has to work to get what she wants. Fisher and Wick took the book to Summit (now part of Lions Gate) which was the studio behind Twilight. The studio was thrilled to buy the book and used the considerable marketing power of Twilight to help push the book once it was published. According to The Wall Street Journal, Lions Gate promoted the book on the Twilight Facebook page and passed out free copies at movie premiers. The push worked. The three Divergent books have sold 16 million copies.
According to Exhibitor Relations, the film is on track to earn roughly $55 million this weekend. That would be well below the opening weekends of both The Hunger Games and Twilight but as my colleague Scott Mendelson pointed out, the film doesn't need to do Twilight or Hunger Games numbers to be a hit. With an estimated budget of $85 million, the film needs to bring in about $225 million to be a success. A $60 million opening would put the film well on its way.
Fisher is confident that the movie will find its audience.
"It's a lot of pressure to put on a book that was written by a 21-year-old," she says. "On the other hand, I think the movie and the book are strong. We do feel the pressure but we've been trying to concentrate on making the best movie we can."
There may be no one in the cast who is under more pressure than Shailene Woodley. With only one major film under her belt (the Oscar nominated The Descendants) the young actress is widely being touted as the next Jennifer Lawrence. Those are some very big shoes to fill. Not only has Lawrence been nominated for three Oscars but her films have earned a total of $2.5 billion at the global box office.
"Shailene is a strong individual and she has her head screwed on very tightly," says Fisher. "She has as good a chance as anyone of being able to weather the storm."
She also has a strong mentor. Kate Winslet plays the baddie in the film and Fisher said the older actress was always there to offer guidance to Woodley. Although Winslet starred in the second highest-grossing film of all time (Titanic), she followed it up with quirky roles in films like Iris and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Woodley already looks poised to follow Winslet's path. Last year she starred in the tiny indie The Spectacular Now about two teens in love and she'll next appear in The Fault in Our Stars. The film, about a young girl with cancer, will be a tough sell to those who aren't already fans of the YA book.
Divergent isn't getting great reviews. The film currently has a 33 out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes. But the review likely won't stop the fans from showing up this weekend.

Probate & Estate Administration
If you have been appointed as the executor of somebody's Will, you will be responsible for administering their estate. This winding up process generally has three main steps:
- Sorting through the person's finances, possessions and property to determine the value of their estate
- Paying any outstanding bills or debts with the balance of the estate
- Distributing whatever remains of the estate in accordance with the person's Will. If the person didn't leave a Will, this will need to be done in accordance with the law.
In many cases, you will need to be issued with a Grant of Probate in order to show you have the authority to do these things.
Financial institutions such as banks, building societies and mortgage companies will need to see this document before they are able to deal with the accounts of the person who has died.
Contact us today
Though it is possible to apply for probate yourself, the process can be complicated. Many people choose to do this with the support of a solicitor.
We can help you navigate the application process and ensure all bases are covered. This includes completing forms correctly, submitting applications, addressing inheritance tax concerns and co-ordinating with other public and professional bodies.
Do you need to apply for probate?
A Grant of Probate isn't always necessary. Some financial institutions will allow you to access the accounts of the person who has died without one. This is usually when the balance of the accounts in question is below a certain amount (usually £15,000 – £25,000).
To find out if you need to apply for a Grant of Probate, speak to the financial institutions where the person who has died held accounts.
However, if the estate you are administrating is worth more than £15,000 – £25,000 and contains property, it's likely that you will need to be granted probate, if you are unsure please get in touch.
Are you involved in a disagreement about an estate?
Being involved in a dispute about an estate can be difficult and stressful. We can help you to navigate this process; please don't hesitate to enlist our support.

It happened during a presentation to a client's website approval committee. I was invited to explain details of a highly priced website proposal when one of the board's member asked me: "How long will it take for this new website to become obsolete?"
Have you ever had a WordPress theme cropping a thumbnail image the "wrong way"? Your friends group image had everybody's heads cut off or a photography or artwork was cropped at random chopping off the sides or the top and bottom, just leaving the middle of an image that does not represent what you want?
Here is the problem: when sharing a blog post or a page from your own website on Facebook, very often the text and image selected by default don't match what you had in mind… a text snippet, a specific image that you intended to display, some words you wanted to emphasize. The screenshot bellow illustrates the problem (before I fixed it).
This tutorial will teach you how to login and make changes to the content of your website's pages.
It covers the following steps:

SEO is an acronym for Search Engine Optimization and it is all about getting people to visit your website.
A Search Engine is what your customers use to find your website. Most people use Google (67%) while others use Bing (18%), Yahoo (10%), etc.
Optimizing for Search Engines (SEO) is adapting your website to the ranking rules established by these Search Engines and since Google represents the vast majority of the searches, it has become a synonym of complying with Google's rules.

Whenever I type in the website and click on it, it will load and tell you to log in, when I log in there is no Custom games button or the gray bar at the top.

Busy morning since then though, laundry to get started, dishes, light cleaning, and Zachary was all pumped up from the park!

Rated 5 out of 5 by glenp from Incredibly warm and well-fitted I wore this coat almost every single day this winter. Extremely well-constructed, with heavy wool fabric and a subtle, classic pattern. The "honey" color is a bit lighter than shown in the photo-- IMO an even more beautiful shade of beige/tan. True to size and tailored, with a lovely, slightly fitted silhouette. I often wore it in place of a puffer jacket and never felt cold. Many compliments from strangers on the street!
