In my last blog entry I discussed how important timing is poker and in life. I know some people will view good timing just as luck… so i thought I would share my views on how important the element of luck is in both poker and life.
Some people think poker is "just" luck… they think it's a game of chance… and that skill has nothing, or very little to do with it. In poker you definitely need some luck, you need to win your races, you need to to hit that card on the river, etc. etc. etc. But poker isn't just luck, skill is definitely a major component of consistent success and profit in poker.
In my experience many of the people who say poker is just luck, are loosing players, they haven't studied the game, they don't learn from their mistakes, and they keep making the same stupid plays, and wondering why it didn't work for them, but it worked for the pro when they seen it on TV. Im pretty sure the same people who think poker is "just luck" probably think the guy they went to school with who didn't have 2 brian cells to rub together and is now a self made millionaire… well he is probably just lucky too.
Luck is an important element in poker, but luck is also an important element in life.
Everyone experiences good luck and bad luck at the poker table and also in life. Sometimes you do everything right and you just get unlucky, but that's life, it doesn't just happen in poker, it happens in every day life. When these instances of bad luck happen, the effect of the consequence of this bad luck, is more to do with how we deal with it, and what it means to us. Some people dwell on it and go on and on and on about, they focus on the bad luck they have experienced, instead of focusing on what positive action they need to take to recover from it and get back on track.
"All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck – who keeps right on going – is the man who is there when the good luck comes – and is ready to receive it." ~ Robert Collier
Any poker player will have heard the saying "A Chip and A Chair", meaning that in a tournament no matter how short stacked you get as long as you are still in there, you can win it. The phrase was coined by Jack Straus, who won the 1982 world championship, coming back from just a single chip. Did he get lucky to win this? Yeah! Of course he did! But my bet is he looked at that one chip as an opportunity, where as many people would have looked at it as failure.
Luck happens to everyone, lucky opportunities present themselves to people all the time. Some people see it, and some people don't. Of the people who do see it, not all will benefit from it, some people don't have the knowledge, skills, experience, or just the guts to act upon it.
"Be ready when opportunity comes…Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet." ~ Roy D Chapin Jnr
When the property market was going up and up and up, everyone could see it, it was all around us, some people took action and invested in property and got lucky and they are now millionaires. When apple was releasing it's new iphone, it was talked about in the news, newspapers, magazines, internet, every where, some people seen the opportunity to buy shares before it was released, and they got lucky and made a good profit. I recently started up a new online business www.zenrec.net, a unique and simple concept for the recruitment industry, some people might think I was lucky to come up with this idea. The point is there are opportunities to get lucky everyday but not everyone takes the action required to get lucky. You also see this in poker, many times watching a game on TV and you can see everyone's hands, noone has connected with the board, many people may know if they bet they could get lucky and steal the pot, but they dont take the action, and someone with the worst hand bets, and they get lucky and win the pot.
Sometimes good luck happens to people who don't deserve it, and any poker player knows the feeling when some donk sucks out on you. Almost every time I play a tournament, in the beginning you see some people building this big stack, but more often than not, these players who are leading in the beginning and relying on luck alone, they don't last, and very few make it into the money or to the final table. You also see this in life, people get lucky but many times their luck runs out, and they end up worse off. You can't rely on luck.
Some people are viewed as a lucky person. The key characteristics of lucky people include taking risks and knowing when the time is right.
Marc Myers outlined a few myths about luck in his book How to Make Luck: 7 Secrets Lucky People Use to Succeed.
Dispelling myths about luck:
Myth 1: Good luck is just another word for hard work and determination. Actually, Myers states that hard work has nothing to do with good luck! Success requires smart moves – which isn't the same as working hard. Working hard can mean missing excellent opportunities that will take you further than intensive labor. Working hard can mean a too-narrow focus and passive acceptance of more hard work. A characteristic of lucky people is that they don't necessarily work hard.
In poker some people play way too may hands, try to make too many moves, and get involved in too many situations. They are working way too hard! A lucky poker player won't work as hard, they make smart moves, and they know when to make them.
Myth 2: You can't influence good luck…you just have to let it take its course. Actually, you can take some of the randomness out of luck by taking an active role in your life. Instead of obsessing about whether you can actually get what you dream of, focus on ways to make it happen. Don't look at "what if" or "it'll never happen." Convince yourself that it WILL happen, and you WILL get it eventually. A characteristic of lucky people is taking an active role in life.
I remember watching a poker documentary about Phil Helmuth and he had a piece of paper stuck to his wall or mirror that said "I am the luckiest player in the world". If you believe you are lucky and that you will win, you stand a far better chance of getting to the final table than someone who believes they are unlucky and tells anyone will listen a list of all their bad beat stories.
Myth 3: To improve your luck, you need to meet the right people. Actually, Myers says that knowing the right people is only half of it. You can meet all the right people in the world but if you don't know how or are afraid to pursue opportunities, you won't achieve your goals. Knowing the right people is one thing; speaking up and taking risks is another. A characteristic of lucky people is that they take risks.
In No Limit, there is No Fear. You can't be afraid in poker, you need to take risks. I love the saying "No Guts, No Glory!" Sooooo true!
Myth 4: Good luck happens when you aggressively promote yourself. Actually, being too aggressive can offend people. The more people you rub the wrong way by being pushy or overbearing, the less help, ideas, and resources you'll have (and the less luck). Instead, be "gently persistent" when you call attention to yourself. A characteristic of lucky people is that they're assertive, not aggressive.
In poker you need to be aggressive, but if you are too aggressive and you start making enemies at the table, people will be out to get you. Being assertive and using well timed aggression is the key to success and luck at the poker table.
Myth 5: Good luck is just good timing. Actually, Myers states that being in the right place at the right time is in your control! You can take steps to be right there when opportunity strikes. You can choose to include certain people, activities, and places in your life. The more wisely you choose and the more open you are, the more likely you are to experience "good timing"! A characteristic of lucky people is good timing.
Thanks for reading my blog, if you have any views on this topic please feel free to leave a comment. I will leave you with a very lucky hand, the final hand in the WSOP 2007.
Good Luck!

Dell finalizes plan to go private with Silver Lake's help
IDG News Service - Michael Dell has teamed up with investment firm Silver Lake to buy computer maker Dell, the company he founded as a 19-year-old in 1984, in a deal valued at about $24.4 billion.
After the transaction closes, Michael Dell will continue as CEO and chairman of the company, according to a statement.
"I believe this transaction will open an exciting new chapter for Dell, our customers and team members," Michael Dell said in the statement. "We can deliver immediate value to stockholders, while we continue the execution of our long-term strategy and focus on delivering best-in-class solutions to our customers as a private enterprise."
According to the statement, the deal is being financed through a combination of cash and equity contributed by Dell, cash from investors affiliated with Silver Lake, cash invested by MSD Capital, L.P., a $2 billion loan from Microsoft, rollover of existing debt and debt financing that's been committed by BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Credit Suisse and RBC Capital Markets.
Microsoft issued a statement saying that it is "committed to the long term success of the entire PC ecosystem and invests heavily in a variety of ways to build that ecosystem for the future. ... we will continue to look for opportunities to support partners who are committed to innovating and driving business for their devices and services built on the Microsoft platform."
Dell has been around in one form or another since 1984, when Michael Dell started a company called PC's Ltd. with $1,000 in his pocket. He changed the name to Dell and took the company public four years later.
Dell made its biggest mark in the 1990s, when its model of building PCs to order and shipping them directly to customers undercut rivals like Hewlett-Packard and IBM, which had complex supply chains and backlogs of inventory. In 2001 Dell became the top PC seller in the world.
Its fortunes didn't last, however. Dell's rivals adopted some of its low-cost production methods, while also expanding into other areas such as services and software. Dell stayed focussed on PCs and servers and eventually found itself left behind. In 2007, after a spell away from his CEO job, Michael Dell returned to try to right his listing ship.
Since then it's been on an acquisition spree, buying 25 companies to build out networking, software and services businesses. Notable buys include Quest Software, Perot Systems, Force 10 Networks and Wyse Technologies. Dell's goal is to refashion itself into an all round provider of hardware, software and services, mimicking larger rivals IBM and HP, except focused primarily on the midmarket.

Review by: Heather, Oklahoma City OK, 3/26/2012
I absolutely adore these I love Born shoes because they are comfortable to walk in yet cute and stylish. The Albrights go above and beyond though. I got the Rossi Floral and they are truly one of a kind. I''m a shoe collector and I''ve never seen anything like them. They go with anything and are comfortable. I have very narrow feet and yet I don''t walk out of these slides like I do most shoes. I can''t say enough good things about Born - I took a pair to Comic Con a few years back and didn''t get one blister and my feet while tired weren''t sore. They were even more comfortable to wear all day than my Adidas trainers. Also I had some delivery issues in getting my order from shoeline.com and they were nothing but polite and courteous each time I spoke with them and solved the issue to my satisfaction. I highly recommend both Born and shoeline.com

Hometown Cartersville, GA
Birthday March 15, 1977
Bio Brande Poulnot, an award-winning journalist and mother of two, is editor of Cartersville Patch. She is a University of Georgia graduate and former crime-beat reporter with The Daily Tribune News in Cartersville.
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
Brande is a conservative on fiscal issues but libertarian on personal issues and most often votes a Republican ticket.
Brande is a Christian, but doesn't regularly attend organized church services. She was raised in the Baptist faith and belongs to a Baptist church in Cartersville.
Local Hot-Button Issues
Brande thinks one of the most divisive issues for certain groups is the 411 Connector, but neither supports or opposes GDOT's plans to build it through Dobbins Mountain.

One of the most significant muscle cars ever built, with a 100% fresh and correct nut-and-bolt restoration, this 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona 440, 4 Speed, Dana 60 car is a blue chip amongst its winged brethren. With 28,095 documented original miles, painted in seldom seen R6 Red, with its white wing, black bucket seat and center console interior, this NASCAR wonder is in a class by itself. Look anywhere you like, in every crevice, nook and cranny and you'll see detailing – this car is that nice. We proudly present this car as an example of what our restoration shop does when handed a car of our own – or yours.
If you've never been in a Mopar winged car, you're missing out. They're flat out the coolest, most attention grabbing car at any show, and you're treated like royalty wherever you go. Even if people don't like them, they still part like the Red Sea when you roll up in one. Aside from their Superbird cousins, no other muscle car turns as many heads as these do, period.
Once the initial shock of your arrival wears off, there's a ton to see when you look at the car. We took this one down to nothing and started over – literally. After a complete disassembly and inventory, the body was acid dipped and E-coated to make sure there was no rust anywhere. Overall, the original body was in excellent shape, and we were able to use ALL of the original exterior sheet metal – how many Daytona owners can say that? The floors were perfect inside and out, as were the firewall, frame rails and inner fenders. We replaced the trunk floor, due to rust and poorly repaired sections done 20 years ago, with a new one piece unit from AMD. It was spot welded in place using all of the factory locations for a seamless look. If we hadn't told you about the repairs, you wouldn't be able to tell – it's that nicely done.
We weren't ready for red paint yet, though. Mopars are dipped in a primer vat up to (approximately) the tops of their headlight housings, and this line is visible inside the car, in the trunk and other places. Remember we told you there are details in the smallest spots? Drop under the dash and look at the firewall – we sprayed a steel-look paint ABOVE that line and gray dip primer below it. We didn't want it to rust, but we wanted to be authentic! That gray paint also covers the floor pans top and bottom, as well as the insides of the doors and quarters. How many shops go to that level of detail on a restoration?
The undercarriage was next. Flipped over on a rotisserie, the original floor pans were massaged and smoothed until they looked factory new. Red overspray made its way underneath from the top, and then the floors were covered in satin clear. That's right – you can drive this car, with its primered floors and all, and wipe it off when you get back home! We're still not done under here, though. Daytonas started life at the Hamtramck plant as standard Charger R/T cars sans stripes, R/T badges and grilles. Otherwise, they were complete, drivable cars. Once shipped to Creative, they were stripped of their hoods, fenders, trunk lids and front bumper assemblies. The replacement parts were painted gray as well, but it was a lighter gray, and it's visible inside the nose cone, where Creative didn't paint the undersides of the panels where they should have and inside the front fenders above the tires. The nose was treated additionally to satin black paint over the gray in the high visibility areas, just as it should be.
After many days with multiple guys doing a ton of blocking the car was finally ready for its base coat/clear coat exterior. Look anywhere there's red and be impressed – the door jams are finished better than most show car exteriors! Having clean original sheet metal to cover is always nice, and it's reflected in the final product. The fender scoops were gently re-contoured to fit the fenders better (a notorious problem caused by the plastic warping over the decades) and the sheet metal was aligned for excellent gaps. The headlight doors are as straight as you're likely to find and the nose is fitted closer to the body than standard. The trunk lid on this car is dimpled at the front edge from welding, which is unusual, but the wing car community recognizes it as an original piece. We put the wing right where Creative did, using their holes, and you can see it doesn't line up with the stripe -quality control wasn't exactly job 1 on these cars! Speaking of the stripe, we have photos of the car from the 1970s where it's sporting it's white wing and stripe. Most Daytonas match their stripe color to their interiors if they're done in black or white, but this one came with a white wing, so white it is!
Of course, the mechanicals are finished as well as the rest of the car. The factory warranty replacement 440 was rebuilt, both mechanically and cosmetically. There's a correct, date coded dual point distributor and 4617S Carter carb up top just as there should be. Date coded wires, a date coded coil, a refinished air cleaner and new stainless fuel lines make the motor shine. There's an 054 radiator up front, date coded from Glen-Ray, complete with its correct shroud and fan. The wiring is all new from the battery cables to the body harnesses. You'll find restored and correct hardware throughout from the latch tray to the bumper.
Here's how the original fender tag reads:

A full set of 14" road wheels with new trim rings and Coker 225/75/14 redlines are on the car, and we're just about done restoring the original wheels. You'll get both sets. Underneath, the entire suspension was refinished properly. Up front, the torsion bars were dipped in black paint and feature drips as original. The upper and lower control arms were finished in cast steel with Cosmoline-like gold tinting on top. All wear parts in the steering and suspension are new. The brand new Accurate Exhaust Products pipes weren't quite what their name would imply, but a day's worth of tweaking has them fitting better than originals. New Mopar leaf springs wear the car's original bottom leaf for new function and original appearance. The original DANA 60 has been rebuilt and is ready for another 40 years! There's a new fuel system, new hard lines everywhere and more. Every gauge, switch and button works as it should. This is a car for the ages.
We have Galen decoding paperwork, including a reproduction window sticker. We also have photos of the restoration, previous photos of the car as far back as one of the Michigan International Speedway DSAC meets in the early 80s and a title history back to 1975. The car is known to both wing car clubs and its authenticity is without doubt. The fender tag is original to the car, but like most Daytonas, the Broadcast Sheet is gone, but may still exist – there's a chance it was put into someone else's car at Creative!
If you're going to drive the car (like you should, at least a few times) you'll get familiar with the interior. Those are restored seats under you, new carpet and sill plates on the floor, new top plates on the center console, restored gauges in the dash and a new headliner above. Overall it's as nicely done as the rest of the car, and that's no small feat.
From nearly perfect cosmetics, to solid mechanicals to the absurd wing and nose, this is a Daytona that would headline just about every car collection in the world. Beautiful in its purpose, head turning everywhere and finished to an extremely high standard, this Daytona is one to pack away for the long haul. Looking for an investment grade muscle car that will stand the test of time? Long after the pretenders have been relegated to the trash heap of history, this 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona will continue to be a significant car, now, or 50 years from now. Enjoy!

Elliott Lucca Pebble Leather Clutch
By Lilia
from Mississauga
This is one very elegant and very well made clutch.I'm definitely taking it on my trip to Europe.
Terrific Purse
By Callie the Pooch
from Vancouver, BC
I love this purse, bought it in red and blue, it is so lightweight and looks a lot more money than I paid, lovely leather. The zip back allows me to put my wallet where I can reach it easy but the other part can be used for things I don't need to reach for as much, but it is easy to get into no matter what. The way you can shorten the length of the straps is a plus too or simply use it as a clutch. I bought one for my sister also and I'm sure she will love it too.
I have this clutch bag in both linen color and the red color....although the red is more a coral color,, which I prefer. The leather is very soft and pliable, and the bag is very well designed and constructed. The front lock closure is very fashion forward. Grab one while you can at this bargain price!
By Chris
from Amherstburg, ON
I purchased this clutch in blue & was absolutely delighted when it arrived. It's such a striking, vibrant colour. This clutch is versatile & roomy. It has a beautiful floral lining. The leather is very soft & the woven detail on the fold over flap is outstanding. At the "Stylish Savings Price" this beautiful, well made purse is a steal.
A Definite Keeper!!!
By Very Vanna
from Ontario
Cannot believe there are any of these lovely bags left! I purchased this clutch in black and it is stunning as well as extremely practical. It can hold all my essentials with room to spare + it can be worn in 3 great ways..clutch, over the shoulder and cross body. Don't pass this up ladies, snap it up now...you won't regret it!
By Maureen
from Aylmer
I am a big bag sort of girl but I decided to take a chance on this bag. It was advertised as red but its not really red it is an orange/red color to it and I loved it so much I kept it anyway. It is very roomy fits everything and is very nice quality leather. Love it. Oh did I mention the price lol that is excellent as well.
I received this lovely clutch bag in the linen color...it is lovely!! It is very well constructed in soft leather. At this low price, grab one while you can!

Twin birth numbers skyrocket
Download our BUMPWATCH Pregnancy Tracker. Everything there is to know week by week. FREE
The record number of twin births across Australia in 2010 is due to women delaying having babies until later rather than due to IVF-assisted births.
With the number of twin births rising dramatically over the past 20 years - in 2008 4600 sets of multiples were born, which is a 24% increase on the 3700 multiple births in 1988 - it has long been assumed that assisted fertility programs such as IVF were playing a large roles in the increase.
But with records showing IVF is actually responsible for less multiple births than ever - 10% in 2007 as opposed to 19% in 2003, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - experts now say that it's the increase in the mother's age that has the greatest impact on the higher numbers of multiple births.
Women over 35 have a higher incidence of conceiving fraternal (non-identical) twins as they are more likely to release more than one egg in each cycle.
With the average age of Australian mothers now at 30.7 years and rising, it seems that the number of multiple births will only increase over time.
Other factors that can predispose women to conceiving twins are:
- Genetics: While identical twins are the result of a spontaneous splitting of the fertilised egg, fraternal twins do run in families. If you are a twin yourself, or have a mother, sibling or aunt who's a fraternal twin, then you are genetically more likely to bear twins yourself.
- Previous pregnancies: The more pregnancies and births you have, statistically, the more likely you are to have twins.
- Ethnicity: Women of African descent have a higher twinning rate than Caucasians. And Caucasians are twice as likely to have twins as those women of Asian descent.
- Height and weight: Obese women - particularly those with a BMI over 30 - tend to conceive more twins. Though, with the complications associated with obesity, these pregnancies are often high risk. Tall women are also statistically more likely to conceive twins.

Gregor Mendel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gregor Mendel | |
Born | Johann Mendel July 22, 1822 Heinzendorf bei Odrau, Austrian Empire (now Hynčice, Czech Republic) |
Died | January 6, 1884 Brno (Brünn), Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic) |
(aged 61)
Nationality | Empire of Austria-Hungary |
Fields | Genetics |
Institutions | Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno |
Alma mater | University of Olomouc University of Vienna |
Known for | Creating the science of genetics |
Gregor Johann Mendel (July 20, 1822[1] – January 6, 1884) was a German-speaking Silesian[2][3] scientist and Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the new science of genetics. Mendel demonstrated that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance. The profound significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century, when the independent rediscovery of these laws initiated the modern science of genetics.[4]
Contents |
Gregor Mendel was born into an ethnic German family in Heinzendorf bei Odrau, Austrian Silesia, Austrian Empire (now Hynčice, Czech Republic). He was the son of Anton and Rosine (Schwirtlich) Mendel, and had one older sister (Veronica) and one younger (Theresia). They lived and worked on a farm which had been owned by the Mendel family for at least 130 years.[5] During his childhood, Mendel worked as a gardener, studied beekeeping, and as a young man attended gymnasium in Opava. From 1840 to 1843, he studied practical and theoretical philosophy as well as physics at the University of Olomouc Faculty of Philosophy, taking a year off because of illness.
When Mendel entered the Faculty of Philosophy, the Department of Natural History and Agriculture was headed by Johann Karl Nestler, who conducted extensive research of hereditary traits of plants and animals, especially sheep. In 1843 Mendel began his training as a priest. Upon recommendation of his physics teacher Friedrich Franz,[6] he entered the Augustinian Abbey of St Thomas in Brno in 1843. Born Johann Mendel, he took the name Gregor upon entering religious life. In 1851 he was sent to the University of Vienna to study under the sponsorship of Abbot C. F. Napp. At Vienna, his professor of physics was Christian Doppler.[7] Mendel returned to his abbey in 1853 as a teacher, principally of physics, and by 1867, he had replaced Napp as abbot of the monastery.[8]
Besides his work on plant breeding while at St Thomas's Abbey, Mendel also bred bees in a bee house that was built for him, using bee hives that he designed.[9] He also studied astronomy and meteorology,[8] founding the 'Austrian Meteorological Society' in 1865.[7] The majority of his published works were related to meteorology.[7]
Experiments on plant hybridization[edit]
Gregor Mendel, who is known as the "father of modern genetics", was inspired by both his professors at the University of Olomouc (i.e. Friedrich Franz & Johann Karl Nestler) and his colleagues at the monastery (e.g., Franz Diebl) to study variation in plants, and he conducted his study in the monastery's 2 hectares (4.9 acres) experimental garden,[10] which was originally planted by Napp in 1830.[8] Between 1856 and 1863 Mendel cultivated and tested some 29,000 pea plants (i.e., Pisum sativum). This study showed that one in four pea plants had purebred recessive alleles, two out of four were hybrid and one out of four were purebred dominant. His experiments led him to make two generalizations, the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment, which later came to be known as Mendel's Laws of Inheritance.
Mendel presented his paper, Versuche über Pflanzenhybriden (Experiments on Plant Hybridization), at two meetings of the Natural History Society of Brünn in Moravia in 1865. It was received favorably and generated reports in several local newspapers.[11] When Mendel's paper was published in 1866 in Verhandlungen des naturforschenden Vereins Brünn,[12] it was seen as essentially about hybridization rather than inheritance and had little impact and was cited about three times over the next thirty-five years. (Notably, Charles Darwin was unaware of Mendel's paper, according to Jacob Bronowski's The Ascent of Man.) His paper was criticized at the time, but is now considered a seminal work.
Life after the pea experiments[edit]
After completing his work with peas, Mendel turned to experimenting with honeybees to extend his work to animals. He produced a hybrid strain (so vicious they were destroyed) but failed to generate a clear picture of their heredity because of the difficulties in controlling mating behaviours of queen bees.[dubious ] He also described novel plant species, and these are denoted with the botanical author abbreviation "Mendel".
After he was elevated as abbot in 1868, his scientific work largely ended, as Mendel became consumed with his increased administrative responsibilities, especially a dispute with the civil government over their attempt to impose special taxes on religious institutions.[13] Mendel died on January 6, 1884, at the age of 61, in Brno, Moravia, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic), from chronic nephritis. Czech composer Leoš Janáček played the organ at his funeral. After his death, the succeeding abbot burned all papers in Mendel's collection, to mark an end to the disputes over taxation.[14]
Rediscovery of Mendel's work[edit]
Mendel's work was rejected at first, and was not widely accepted until after he died. During his own lifetime, most biologists held the idea that all characteristics were passed to the next generation through blending inheritance, in which the traits from each parent are averaged together. Instances of this phenomenon are now explained by the action of multiple genes with quantitative effects. Charles Darwin tried unsuccessfully to explain inheritance through a theory of pangenesis. It was not until the early 20th century that the importance of Mendel's ideas was realized.
By 1900, research aimed at finding a successful theory of discontinuous inheritance rather than blending inheritance led to independent duplication of his work by Hugo de Vries and Carl Correns, and the rediscovery of Mendel's writings and laws. Both acknowledged Mendel's priority, and it is thought probable that de Vries did not understand the results he had found until after reading Mendel.[4] Though Erich von Tschermak was originally also credited with rediscovery, this is no longer accepted because he did not understand Mendel's laws.[15] Though de Vries later lost interest in Mendelism, other biologists started to establish genetics as a science.[4]
Mendel's results were quickly replicated, and genetic linkage quickly worked out. Biologists flocked to the theory; even though it was not yet applicable to many phenomena, it sought to give a genotypic understanding of heredity which they felt was lacking in previous studies of heredity which focused on phenotypic approaches. Most prominent of these latter approaches was the biometric school of Karl Pearson and W.F.R. Weldon, which was based heavily on statistical studies of phenotype variation. The strongest opposition to this school came from William Bateson, who perhaps did the most in the early days of publicising the benefits of Mendel's theory (the word "genetics", and much of the discipline's other terminology, originated with Bateson). This debate between the biometricians and the Mendelians was extremely vigorous in the first two decades of the twentieth century, with the biometricians claiming statistical and mathematical rigor, whereas the Mendelians claimed a better understanding of biology.
In the end, the two approaches were combined, especially by work conducted by R. A. Fisher as early as 1918. The combination, in the 1930s and 1940s, of Mendelian genetics with Darwin's theory of natural selection resulted in the modern synthesis of evolutionary biology.
Mendel's experimental results have later been the object of considerable dispute.[14] Fisher analyzed the results of the F2 (second filial) ratio and found them to be implausibly close to the exact ratio of 3 to 1.[16] Reproduction of his experiments has demonstrated the validity of his hypothesis—but, the results have continued to be a mystery for many, though it is often cited as an example of confirmation bias. This might arise if he detected an approximate 3 to 1 ratio early in his experiments with a small sample size, and continued collecting more data until the results conformed more nearly to an exact ratio. It is sometimes suggested that he may have censored his results, and that his seven traits each occur on a separate chromosome pair, an extremely unlikely occurrence if they were chosen at random. In fact, the genes Mendel studied occurred in only four linkage groups, and only one gene pair (out of 21 possible) is close enough to show deviation from independent assortment; this is not a pair that Mendel studied. Some recent researchers have suggested that Fisher's criticisms of Mendel's work may have been exaggerated.[17][18]

Adelia trotted into Boston on her steed, but slowed to a relaxed gait as the crowd grew thicker. She tugged her hood down slightly, making sure her face was concealed. The evening sun was welcoming and warm and her back, and she breathed a sigh of both contentment and apprehension. Just as a serene feeling of peace overcame her, the unmistakable sound of a marching drum met her ears, and she rolled her eyes. Wanting to avoid Redcoats, she steered her horse into an alley which further led to the Green Dragon Inn, where she was currently staying. Deciding she could use a drink, Adelia tied her horse up to a post.
Adelia was wearing her standard assassins robes: a black coat with red accents on the lining and hood. Black lace traced the sleeves as well as the hood, and she wore black leggings with knee high leather boots. She then proceeded to mentally check her weapons; she could feel the tightness of her vambrace which held her hidden blade, as well as the comfortable weight of her machete resting at her hip. She was ready for whatever instance she may come across. Boston could be very unpredictable.
After making sure she had her other necessities, she headed into the inn. Immediately the sound of drunken slurs and laughter filled her ears, and Adelia rolled her eyes. She analyzed the general crowd from underneath her hood, and realized that most of them were just annoying drunk sailors and craftsmen. Finally spotting an empty table in the corner, she made her way to it and sat down. Soon enough, a plump lady came up to her table. What can I get you, dearie? Perhaps a tea, or maybe a little coffee? You look like you need a pick-me-up. The lady offered her a smile that was lacking a few teeth, and Adelia dropped her gaze. Get me an ale. Her voice was straightforward, and she pulled a few coins out of her purse. The lady took them and openly scoffed at her unlady-like manners. Adelia rolled her eyes and leaned forward to idly trace the wooden grooves in the table with her finger while frequently looking up to survey the crowd.

DickServis gave this placeI like itBeen to this bar many times on my visits to KW. I admit I miss the old backroom, but the cage area they have now can be fun, not to mention the patio. Great anon hookups are so hot. Def can't wait to check it again on my next visit, this was the only bar in KW that I found the sleaze I like
ggorman is now a fan
JohnnNC is now a fan
JohnnNC gave this placeOld Kew WestThis place is what Key West used to be.......... In the "new" Key West there are a lot of gay pride flags, a lot of gay friendly places. What's missing is a place where gay men can just hang out with other gay men and relax. It's a side effect of how open Key West is. Because no one, well almost no one, cares if you are gay and you can go to any club on the Island the straights want to come to the gay bars and enjoy themselves. For example I just spent a week in KW and every bar I went to but one was freaking total overrun with straight women.......someone even thought it was a good idea to have a batchlorrette party at a gay club featuring gay dancers because they where so "hot". Now I'm glad that things are so cool that straight women are descending on the gay clubs........okay thats a lie. Please come have a drink at the bar, catch a drag show, but please don't take over the damn bar. Enter Saloon One, a cut back to the older side of key west, it's a bit retro and in desperate need of a remodel. True there are the cruisers and it's not uncommon to find someone having a bit of fun on the pouch. But you will also find men who really want to spend some time with other gay men, most just want to drink a drink and have a laugh with other gay men. So when in key west please please vist Saloon One, have a few drinks and help keep this last little bit of the old Key West alive if for no other reason than we need a place for us.
JenniferMurphy is now a fan
Maverick gave this placeA Huge DisappointmentPrevious visits to this bar always promised a good crowd and a good time. Things have definitely changed! The place is basically empty except for Friday and Saturday nights (from my recent stay in February). Tried in on Friday night whne they were having contests for the best body parts and thought that would help kick in the crwod. Not really, unfortunately. There were more people there, but the contests were pretty lame with little participation from the people there. And, worst of all, just as things did promise to start kicking in a woman cmes wandering through with her "boyfriend" and made it a point to examine any area where any guyys were trying to have a "good time". So sad that the last bar in Key west that was men only is not naymore. Be prepared for female companionship. If that's your thing, this is the place to be!
Traveler1022 gave this placeNo Longer "Men Only"I visited Saloon One several times during February 2012. This included a Friday night where there was a contest for the "best" of various body parts among participants. This should have been fun, but was not. (Almost no one entered the contests!) This "men's only bar" also allowed a woman in and she wandered around disrupting what could have been plenty of action. I knew she did not sneak in since the bar employees and contest MC chatted with her. I had stopped by Saloon One several previous nights after leaving other bars, but it was always very quiet. When I had been in town a few years ago, there was always a crowd at Saloon One and I had a great time every night. I guess the popularity of this bar has already peaked.

Would you like to stay at home in your pajamas and still go to a college class? Would you prefer to learn late at night rather than rising early to go to a morning lecture? Whatever your preferences are, the new ed2go online classes offered through the Continuing Education division of Sampson Community College can accommodate any and every lifestyle with their flexibility and convenience.
"We officially launched ed2go last Wednesday, Jan. 16. Going forward, class registration will be on the third Wednesday of every month." said Ann Butler, dean of Continuing Education, adding that all of the ed2go online courses being offered will run for six weeks and will conclude with a 10-day grace period at the end.
With 24 hour access, students can complete the online courses any time of the day or night entirely from their home or office.
"Of course, the biggest advantage to taking online classes is that you can learn at your own pace and on your own schedule," noted Butler. "Interestingly, for online learners, the most popular log-in time is midnight with 6 a.m. coming in second."
This new learning opportunity may take a little while to catch on, but a few in Sampson County are already taking advantage of the new online courses and all they have to offer.
"We had four people register and no two are taking the same class," shared Butler. "The four classes being taken from the extensive ed2go offerings are "Achieving Success with Difficult People," "Enhancing Language Development in Childhood," "Introduction to Microsoft Excel 2010," and "Building Teams That Work."
Among the other courses offered are "Speed Spanish," "Grammar Refresher," and "Computer Skills for the Workplace," to name a few.
Classes specific to teachers are also being offered. Local educators can choose from classes such as "Solving Classroom Discipline Problems," "Survival Kit for New Teachers," "Using the Internet in the Classroom," and "Differentiated Instruction in the Classroom."
Butler pointed out that not only are the ed2go online classes convenient but they are also easy on the wallet. "At the current time, all courses we are offering have a $65 registration fee."
No matter what courses students choose to take, they will certainly get their money's worth. All courses are project-oriented and include lessons, quizzes, hands-on assignments, discussion areas, supplementary links, and more.
"Last summer, when we were giving consideration to partnering with ed2go to offer online learning opportunities, I did a test run of one of the courses — digital photography — to see if I was pleased with the qualifications of the instructor, the course content, the expected learning outcomes, etc," said Butler. "I was most impressed in every and all respects."
"Anyone who registers for a class can look forward to exceptionally qualified instructors and challenging, highly interactive instruction," Butler continued. "You have assignments, tests, and the opportunity for discussion with other students who are also taking the same class."
Dr. Paul Hutchins, president of Sampson Community College, encourages Sampson locals to take advantage of this new learning opportunity. "This is the first time the college is offering classes like this and we're really excited about it. These online classes are so accessible. They provide enrichment, offering opportunities for people to enhance their skills. For instance, they'd certainly be beneficial for people who are looking to go after promotions at work."
If you would like more information about the new ed2go online courses, contact Katie Brown at 592-7176, ext. 4010 or visit www.ed2go.com/sampsoncc.
Lauren Williams can be reached at 910-592-8137, ext. 123 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Posted September 17, 2012 by Rachelle Owen
Let's be real: How many hours have you spent dreaming that your campus would open up an all-vegetarian or -vegan market? Well, for students at Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama, that dream is a reality—and that's why peta2 is awarding the school with a Compassionate Campus Award!
Alabama may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think about vegan eats—but Oakwood is proving that being vegan is easy anywhere. The market will be offering up faux-chicken sandwiches, veggie burgers, veggie hot dogs, and pizzas with vegan cheese!
Oakwood University is smart: There's been a 50 percent increase in the number of college vegetarians nationwide since 2005, and the number of college vegans has doubled in the same period! Undoubtedly, the market will be packed with students looking for compassionate, healthy, and delish eats!
Want vegan food at your college? E-mail us at email@example.com, and we'll help you make your vegan dining hall dreams come true!

Tanja Softic, Augury I, 2009, Digital print, offset monotype, 12x24 in./21x32 in.
The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship Program is a vital source of funding for the visual arts and art history in Virginia. VMFA is committed to supporting professional artist as well as art students who demonstrate exceptional creative ability in their chosen discipline; since its creation in 1940 by the late John Lee Pratt of Fredericksburg, the Fellowship program has awarded more than $4 million in fellowships to Virginians. As part of our commitment to Virginians, the Pauley Center Galleries, Amuse Restaurant, the Claiborne Robertson Room, and select spaces at the Richmond International Airport are dedicated to showcasing the work of VMFA Visual Arts Fellowship recipients.Free admission
Reflections of our past Aaron Sanders (American, b. 1982) Feb 25 – Jun 23, 2013 | Richmond International Airport, Baggage Claims 1 & 6 On the banks of the James River lies the city of Richmond, Virginia. The streets of the original town, each with its own story, easily remind today's visitors of the area's important history. At Twenty-Fifth and Broad Streets, in Saint John's Church, Patrick Henry delivered his famous speech, "Give me liberty or give me death." A few blocks away the Old Stone House, built in 1740, serves as a museum commemorating the life and work of Edgar Allan Poe, who considered the city home. Everywhere, historical sites and structures, now set against towering skyscrapers, have preserved Richmond's significant and unique past. In these photographs, Aaron Sanders captures reflections not only of that illustrious history but also of the enduring spirit and continuing progress of the city on the James. Sanders lives and works in Richmond, Virginia, and was the recipient of a 2010 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Visual Arts Fellowship. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and Richmond International Airport partner to present visual arts exhibitions throughout the airport. Designated or select displays feature work of VMFA Fellowship recipients or VMFA exhibitions that travel across Virginia.
Recent work Tanja Softic (American, b. 1966 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ) Mar 8 – Jul 7, 2013 | VMFA Amuse Restaurant and Claiborne Robertson Room Tanja Softic's work explores the idea of cultural hybridity, and the representation of such vague and often problematic concepts like memory or spatial and temporal location. She explores such questions as: How are our histories recorded and how do they shape individual notions of identity? What is cultural memory and to whom does it belong? Through a visual vocabulary of landscape elements, microscopic life forms, architectural details, astronomical charts, and anatomical fragments, Softic aims to capture this sense of flux and displacement.
Says Softic of her prints: "In my work, there is no discernible center of the image; floating elements come in and out of focus, anchoring and orbiting others, settling nowhere permanently. I hope that the viewer sees my work the way one sees a familiar thicket of weeds — in a particular moment or in an unusual light — suddenly awash in form and meaning." Softic lives in Richmond, Virginia, and is a Professor of Art at the University of Richmond; she was the recipient of a 2009 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Visual Arts Fellowship. All works courtesy of Reynolds Gallery, Richmond, VA.
A Common Light: paintings of Roanoke and Los Angeles Ann Glover (American, b. 1950) March 30 – July 21, 2013 | Pauley Center Galleries These paintings by Virginia artist Ann Glover contrast two American cities: her hometown of Roanoke, set in the mountains of southwest Virginia; and Los Angeles, a sprawling urban center defined by its international culture and varied topography, located on the Pacific Rim. Glover feels at home in both cities, having also lived in Los Angeles, where she maintained a home and studio during the late 1980s and the 1990s. The unifying theme of these two series is the quality of light. Glover is drawn to that time of day, early or late, when the sun is just above the horizon and the warmth of light is intensified, offering a dramatic view of everyday subject matter. The artist explains, "The quality of light evokes a connection between both and blurs the differences in culture, location, and form." Glover lives and works in Roanoke, Virginia, and was the recipient of a 2010 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Visual Arts Fellowship.

Re: EmEditor Professional v10 beta 7 (9.90.7) Hello robben,
Thanks for trying beta 7. I am very sorry that the Snippets plug-in didn't work on beta 7. I fixed this issue, and will release beta 8 soon. Thanks again!

Re: EmEditor Professional v10 beta 7 (9.90.7) I gave it a try today and found a usability problem.
1. Open Configuration Properties dialog, Display tab. 2. Select any theme (e.g. "EmEditor Standard"), change anything -> new theme "EmEditor Standard (modified)" is created. 3. Select Rename from the ">" button menu, give some different name. 4. The original "EmEditor Standard" theme is also renamed. From the interface organization I expected, that a copy of the theme was created, and that I renamed it, but it seems that the theme is not changed, and that the new item in the list refers to the same theme (since it returns back when I select Save). I think, something should be done to make it more obvious that "... (modified)" is not the new theme. |

Re: EmEditor Professional v10 beta 7 (9.90.7) Hello Flint,
Thanks for using EmEditor Professional! I modified the code so that "Rename" would not delete the original theme when the theme is modified. It might be not perfect, but I think it is better now. Thank you,
