Shafer Recipes
Halibut with Asparagus, Baby Bok Choy and Millet Salad
Combine lemon juice, lemon zest, white wine, olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside. Rinse halibut under cold running water and pat dry. Remove any bones. Place in a glass dish and pour marinade over halibut, making sure to coat both sides. Cover. Let marinate 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
While the fish is marinating, combine the millet with water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, then cover and let cook until all of the water is absorbed (about 10-15 minutes). Leave covered and remove from heat once finished cooking. Allow it to finish steaming for another few minutes before fluffing with a fork.
While the millet is steaming, wash and cut bok choy on the diagonal. Set aside. Wash, peel and trim the asparagus. Cut into one-inch pieces. Place both asparagus and bok choy in a steamer basket placed in a medium size sauce pan filled with a small amount of water. Bring the water to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and steam until tender (3 - 5 minutes).
For the dressing, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside until ready.
Place cooked millet in a medium bowl. Toss in parsley and mint. Add asparagus and bok choy and toss lightly. Sprinkle dressing on top and toss. Add salt and pepper as needed. Add a little more lemon juice or olive oil if more moisture is needed. Set aside.
To prepare halibut: Heat a non-stick sauté pan to medium high heat. Add olive oil and swirl around pan. Drain halibut pieces. Sauté just until halibut loses its interior translucency — a little bit of translucency is fine since the fish will continue to cook a bit once removed from the heat. Remove from the pan. Set aside.
To Plate
Place millet salad on plate and top with halibut. Sprinkle with pistachios. Enjoy!
In Your Glass
With the subtle flavors of the halibut and bok choy, and the earthy assertiveness of the asparagus, I tend to reach for a well-balanced white wine with distinct minerality like a French Chablis. You'll also find rewards in trying this dish with a lighter style Pinot Noir — yes, we often drink red against what has become convention! As we buck tradition, from the Shafer portion of our wine cellar, I'd reach for a Shafer Merlot which is always a welcome pleasure.

Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin by Liesl Shurtliff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There was never a heart or a story behind Rumpelstiltskin.
He was just a scary, small man who spun straw into gold, and eventually fell to his well-deserved death. And yet these were the two things I found in Rump: a protagonist with so much heart and depth, and a story that impressed.
I had just spun straw into gold.
It must be difficult to retell a famous story, because people already have their own expectations and their own ideas about what should happen. I know I did. I was afraid that the 12-year-old Rump who cared so much about other people would someday die. It wasn't fair. I cared about him – his late growth, his childish flaws, and his name (or the humor behind it).
My mom named me after a cow's rear end.
The name was a great premise. This book was about the meaning behind a name. But it was also about the people behind those names, and the decisions behind those people, and the consequences behind those decisions. Everything about this book was in Rumpelstilktskin. He was the magic. His insecurities, his decisions, and his growth all made the classic fairy tale I knew into something so true and so much more magical than I expected.
It's all the things in the middle that make a person special.
And it wasn't just Rump. The whole book was brimming with fairy-tale-perfect characters: the tough and dependable Red, the surprising Witch in the Woods, the lovely Wool Sisters, and even the nasty miller. How they all fit in the story and their dynamics made for a really interesting and magical read. It almost makes me wish that this was the real tale because I loved seeing a heart and a story behind the man…whose names begins with Rump.

The houses in question were built on unsure foundations by the council in the 1970s and suffer from major structural cracks. Town manager Terry O Niadh said officials could not make statements on how the houses were built because he said 'we don't know.'
"But we do know," countered Councillor Timmy Conway.
Chairman Seamie Moore said if that site was being used today 'every jail cell would be filled in with solid cement ... and that didn't happen'. He said people had bought their houses in good faith and it was up to members themselves to take a lead because the official view was contrary to theirs. Councillor Mary Glennon said the families should take the legal path because if she were in their shoes, that's what she would do.
Mr O Niadh emphasised the Minister for the Environment has no function in the matter as the houses are now privately owned.
But this didn't sit well with Cllr Timmy Conway who answered that the houses had been built by the UDC on land that 'we all know was not right'. He suggested the councillors themselves should appeal to the minister to ask him to rectify the situation.
Councillor Pat McCarthy said it was 'ridiculous that a person buying a pair of shoes is protected by legislation but anyone buying a house, the biggest purchase in a lifetime, if there are structural faults, there's no comeback."
It's believed the houses with faults were built over underground cells in the old jail. Another theory is that some were built over a tunnel which leads from St David's Castle, through the Town Hall yard and St Martin's Avenue to Jigginstown Castle

Every school has their own set of rules and expectations when it comes to dress codes and standards, but administrations don't always consider what those regulations are saying about girls and their bodies? We've seen our fair share of prom horror stories already this season (like this school's rather extreme dress code), but these ones take the cake. Mireya Briceno, a Michigan high school senior, and Alexus Miller-Wigfall, a Pennsylvanian high school student, were both reprimanded for their prom dresses being too "revealing" and "inappropriate."
Typically in cases such as these, there is a clearly outlined dress code which a student has knowingly decided to side-step. So, while the code may be frustrating or even unreasonable, the student usually knows the potential for their consequences. What's different about these stories is that no rules, as far as we can tell, were broken.
Photo courtesy of Facebook
Mireya's retro-cool prom dress (above) was floor length with sleeves, so it's not the hemline "fingertip" rule that's being called into question. What apparently tipped the blue polka-dotted gown over the edge is the cut-out back of the dress. The real kicker in her case, though, is that "backless dresses" were explicitly allowed on the school's dress code, and Mireya pointed out that there were plenty of girls in similar dresses that weren't asked to leave. 'I wouldn't be as upset if they were fair with the rules, but they weren't," Mireya said. "I saw plenty of people with the same style dress as me that stayed. I went through being embarrassed and my night was ruined." So what's the deal? The school has yet to comment, so we're still scratching our heads.
Photo: Sean Simmers
Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, Alexus (above) designed her dream dress with her mother and even had it pre-approved by the school. She wore the stunning red gown to prom, but three days after the event, her school gave her a one-day suspension for it being "too revealing." Her mother argues that it was not the dress that the school took offense to, but rather, her daughter's size. Alexus says her assistant principal actually told her, "You have more boobs than other girls. The other girls have less to show." The implication here is that Alexus should wear more clothes because of her size.
All around, this is an unfair and damaging message to send to a young woman about her body. The more we teach girls to be ashamed of their bodies, the more we perpetuate a lack of self-confidence and absence of empowerment. Perhaps instead of focusing on dress codes, we should be turning our attention to administrators' attitudes towards young women so we can all move beyond what she's wearing and listen to what she's saying.

Mabel Lee Walton National Memorial Headquarters
ListenThe house was acquired by Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority in 1963. The house is where Tri-sigma's national headquarters is located. The headquarters offers workshops and weekend retreats for members.
The Walton family built house in 1914, but house was acquired by Sigma Sigma Sigma in 1963, and is named in honor of Mabel Lee Walton. She served as National President for 34 years, the house was named after her as a tribute to her inspiration and leadership. It accommodates Tri-Sigma's Executive Office, visiting Sigmas, Executive Council meetings, Leadership workshops, Collegiate Advisory Board meetings, chapter visitations and other special gatherings. Chapters have used it for Sisterhood retreats, initiations, and special weekend visits. The Walton House was purchased and furnished by the generous contributions of individual members, collegiate chapters, and alumnae chapters. Walton House is maintained through the dues and fees of Tri-Sigma alumnae and collegians.
In the 1890's higher education for women was still a hot topic, but the need for qualified teachers was high. In Virginia, the State School at Farmville was the state's first institution to open its doors for teacher education. Now known as Longwood University, this is where brave 15-17 year-old women came to prepare for the teaching profession, rather than accept the social custom of being tutored in their own homes.
Then on April 20, 1898, the establishment of the Greek-letter society to be known as Sigma Sigma Sigma was announced. The sorority was founded on the principles of lifelong friendship, exemplary character, and ethical conduct. Tri-Sigma is known throughout the Greek community as being an innovative and progressive organization.

Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is still uncharacteristically happy in "New Best Friend," thanks to the group that he ran into at the end of last week's episode and forms an alliance with this week—and he hasn't even been told yet about the seaside community that Tara (Ma Masterson) encountered during her last supply run. Yet, even by the standards of The Walking Dead (whose characters often speak in aphorisms, if they say anything at all), this new group is theatrically taciturn. It's as if their response to the end of the world had been to devolve rapidly, losing the power of speech in the process. Their leader, Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh), talks, like The Road Warrior's Lord Humungus, in the clipped monosyllables of a toddler, ordering a follower to escort Rick to the top of the trash pile by saying: "Show Rick up-up-up."
Maybe these junkyard people communicate telepathically, like the ants they resemble—right down to their colorless attire. The episode's director, Jeff January, invites that association by filming them from above as they stream out of a container nestled within an anthill-like mountain of trash, moving in seeming lockstep before forming a series of concentric circles around Rick's people. January is also canny in his shooting of the fight scenes, highlighting strategy and emotions rather than glamorizing the violence. Rick and his followers win their lives and Jadis's grudging respect by working together, like the de facto platoon that they are: They spring into separate but coordinated action when the junkyard people close in on them, forcing a standoff, before Jadis makes Rick prove his mettle by fighting a walker in a spiked helmet with the help of coaching from Michonne (Danai Gurira).
In contrast, when Ezekiel (Khary Paton) faces off against the Saviors who come to collect from his people, the philosophical differences among the Kingdom's citizens undermines their sense of unity, weakening individual members' stabs at resistance. The struggle that ensues after Jared (Joshua Mikel) takes Richard's (Karl Makinen) gun and Morgan's (Lennie James) staff at least shows that the Kingdom isn't lacking in fighting skills; even Benjamin (Logan Miller) has gotten good enough with his staff that he can knock Jared down. But when Jared kneecaps Richard with Morgan's staff, the focus isn't on Richard's pain, but on Morgan's writhing in the background as his hopes for a pacifist solution to this dreadful dilemma take another beating.
The Mexican standoff that starts that fight, after Richard resists Jared's attempt to take his gun, isn't the only time Richard tries to start a war singlehanded in "New Best Friends." He's becoming increasingly isolated by his barely contained rage at having to follow orders—even Ezekiel's—and by his sense of the urgency of the need to rise up against the Saviors, before all the loot and weapons they've taken from the other groups make them impossible to defeat. He even alienates Daryl (Norman Reedus), who should have been his staunchest ally, when he tells him about a plan to set a trap for the Saviors that involves using Carol (Melissa McBride) as bait.
It's good to have Carol back, if only briefly, as more than just a topic of conversation. The emotional intensity of her reunion with Daryl and the delicacy of their unspoken understanding are a welcome respite from all the grim scuffles and stalemates and unstable détentes that now dominate The Walking Dead more than ever. Their dialogue also feels unusually nuanced, partly because McBride plays Carol with such dignified strength and tremulous sorrow, but also because we get another showcase of the love between these two that's been unspoken yet evident for so long.
It's not news to us when Carol explains why she left Alexandria, but it is to Daryl. More to the point, it's the first time he's heard it from her, though Morgan told him as much earlier in the episode, and given how much he must miss Carol and wonder why she left, he needed to hear her explanation. Similarly, his decision to tell her that merciful lie about how Alexandria beat the Saviors and everyone's all right, in support of her desire to stay away from the group and its battles, is a touching demonstration of his love and respect, even if it's also arguably paternalistic and dangerously likely to poison the trust between them, since she will surely learn the truth at some point.
The shards of bone-dry humor in Channing Powell's script are also unusual, and welcome. At one point, Daryl says of Ezekiel: "Figure any guy that has a pet tiger can't be that bad." There's also the moment where Gavin tells Jared to stop harassing Ezekiel's riled-up crew and leave—with his newly acquired fighting staff—by saying, "Read the room, sensei." But the episode's main strength, like the show's as a whole, is its visuals. January uses the countryside that the characters move through to remind us of the distance they've traveled in time, salting the backgrounds with already half-ruined artifacts from the culture that flourished there just a couple of long years earlier. Particularly poignant is a faded painting on the side of an abandoned truck that depicts a cowboy aiming a pistol at what appears to be another cowboy—a reminder of the default toward violence and blind faith in guns that infected American culture long before the walker-creating virus.

Few things compare with snuggling into a warm, fluffy down comforter on a cold winter night. What can ruin such a luxurious experience? A stale smelling, lumpy duvet. Think about it: You use fresh sheets weekly, so why wouldn't you want a fresh comforter? Luckily it is easy to freshen a down comforter.
Step 1
Wash your down comforter in a large or commercial-grade washing machine. Use the gentle cycle and a detergent like Woolite for delicate fabrics. Always use cold water.
Step 2
Hang your comforter on a clothesline for the afternoon. The fresh air will drive out any staleness. Change the hanging position every half hour, hanging first from one side, then the next, all the way around the rectangle of the comforter. This will allow the down filling to fall into place.
Step 3
Freshen your down comforter in the dryer. Spray the comforter with just enough water to make the outer covering a little damp. Place a dryer sheet in with the comforter, and set it on the "fluff" or "no heat" option with a new tennis ball. This will make your comforter smell fresh, air it out inside and refluff the down filling.
Step 4
Fluff your down comforter manually by shaking it out; then spray it with a fabric freshener like Febreeze. Use this quick and easy method daily to keep your down comforter fresh.

After leaving Monkey Island, our boat made its way to Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. Took about twenty minutes, and the scenery along the way was just beautiful. We had to stop and buy tickets at the national park office, then our captain took us on to Laem Sala Beach. A student volunteer guide met us, and led us on the 430 meter (yards) hike up to the Phraya Nakhon Cave. The trail was steep, and although we had shade from trees, it was still very hot. My shirt was so drenched by the time we finished, you could wring out a half cup of sweat! On the plus side, this was the start of my significant weight loss - four pounds (2 kilos) in a month. The walking, the sweating, my meals. All of that. Well, that's another story. Anyway, we hiked up to the cave. For those who know the Appalachian Mountains in Asheville, NC, the degree of difficulty was almost like the hike up Mount Pisgah, from the parking lot to the top. Quite a challenge, yet not in distance, but steepness. Our goal was to get to the cave between 10-11 AM, when the light coming through the opening, down onto the "throne," is the best. And we did it!
I couldn't pick my favorite image of me with the sign! What's interesting, though, is that we took these images after our hike. And it's a double-sided sign. Behind me is the beach, and I am looking in the direction of the trail that takes you up the mountain, to the cave. My videos above will give you a better perspective. Both of them show you the mountain we hike. As our boat approaches the island, there's the white sandy beach and coconut palms. The mountain is just behind.
We were told if we were lucky we would see some Dusky Leaf Monkeys. Sure enough, just as we started our hike, our guide pointed up into the trees. This was the most thrilling part of the whole hike to me. I also got them on video! Be sure to check it out.
See the dark figures? Maybe you can enlarge and see more details. Dusky Leaf Monkeys.
one cave opening, with a "sky bridge"
the front of the "throne"
a second cave opening, above the small temple
This is the backside of the "throne" yet the first vantage point you have when entering this cave section.
The history the "throne" or Royal Pavilion is very interesting. You can read about it here.
life-like replicas of monks who used to stay in the cave
This monk is the one whose headstone and photo are on the wall. His ashes are kept here.

Development Program
Run by experienced Northampton Soccer coaches with travel soccer training and credentials, this longstanding and fun program teaches beginning soccer skills for players in grades K, 1, and 2, with an emphasis on skill building and game dynamics. It runs twice a year, in spring and in fall. Practices are on Wednesday afternoons at 5:15 and Saturday mornings at 9:30 at the Florence Recreation Fields. Fall season runs Saturday September 8th - Saturday October 27th. Typical sessions include instruction on dribbling, passing, and shooting, followed by drills where players keep moving and get many touches on the ball. We usually finish each session with small field 3v3 or 4v4 games in which coaches use teachable moments to further explain the game. This program is the ground floor of Northampton Soccer's more competitive travel program, and the entry level U8 travel teams are typically formed from players who have participated in this program.
Introduction to Rec Soccer
For those looking to start younger, or for a local fall season alternative to the Development Program, the Northampton Parks and Recreation Department offers fun introductory team play at Look Park for children in Pre-K through 2nd grade. The minimum age is 4 for the preschool-K parent-child program; kids in grades 1 and 2 are placed on parent-coached teams by age, and have weekly games.

Economics 812 Midterm
Prof. Bryan Caplan
Spring, 2010
Part 1: True, False, and Explain
(10 points each - 2 for the right answer, and 8 for the explanation)
State whether each of the following nine propositions is true or false. Using 2-3 sentences AND/OR equations, explain your answer.
1. True, False, and Explain: Landsburg's Indifference Principle undermines the standard efficiency rationale for taxing negative externalities.
FALSE. The Indifference Principle implies that taxes on e.g. air pollution raise rents, leaving tenants no better off. However, the owners of fixed resources are better off by an amount equal to the increase in rent! In other words, the Indifference Principle has implications for who benefits from taxes on negative externalities, not whether these taxes have benefits.
2. Two types of agents consume guns (g) and butter (b). The Type A agents have U=.5 ln g + .5 ln b, and initially own 10 units of guns and 10 units of butter. The Type B agents have U=.3 ln g + .7 ln b, and initially own nothing. 10% of the agents are Type A; the other 90% are Type B.
True, False, and Explain: The equilibrium price of guns will equal the equilibrium price of butter.
Using the formula from the notes:
But there's no need to use the formula. Since the Type B agents have nothing to sell, they're irrelevant to the market. And since the Type A agents have equal endowments of both goods and value both goods equally, the price ratio has to be 1:1. (To get full credit, you had to note these facts).
3. True, False, and Explain: In an Ultimatum game, a 50/50 split is the only SGPPSNE; in a Dictator game, a 100/0 split is the only SGPPSNE.
FALSE. In an Ultimatum game, a 100-ε/ε split is the only SGPPSNE; as long as the giver offers more than 0, the receiver has an incentive to accept, so the giver offers as little as possible. (There are an infinite number of PSNE, but only one is SGP). In the Dictator game, a 100/0 split is the only SGPPSNE, because there's no reason for the giver to share anything.
4. Landsburg says that the "obvious" explanation for why popcorn costs more at movies is wrong.
True, False, and Explain: The problem with "obvious" explanation, according to Landsburg, is that even the simplest monopoly problem has multiple NE.
FALSE. The "obvious" explanation, according to Landsburg, is monopoly. But under normal assumptions, a monopolist would want to charge a high ticket price, then sell everything else (popcorn, bathroom privileges, etc.) at MC.
5. Suppose you have the following Hawk/Dove game. Players do not discount the future. In the one shot game, the two players flip a coin to decide who plays Hawk and who plays Dove.
Player 2
Player 1
True, False, and Explain: If they play this game twice, the players can both on average earn more per turn than they would in the one-shot game.
TRUE. The players could agree to play Dove, Dove on turn 1. Then, if either played Hawk in turn 1, the other player would play Hawk in turn 2. If both cooperate (or both defect) in turn 1, they would flip a coin to decide who plays Hawk and who plays Dove in turn 2. The result: Players get [4+(.5*5+.5*1)]/2=3.5 per turn instead of 2*(.5*5+.5*1)/2=3 per turn.
6. Suppose the government gives one car manufacturer a monopoly privilege. The lobbying process leads to full rent dissipation. Each firm has the same constant marginal cost of production, and demand is linear.
True, False, and Explain: Deadweight costs fall when demand falls or firms' costs increase.
TRUE. Under these assumptions, deadweight costs equal the usual Harberger triangle plus the Tullock rectangle – and output equals half the competitive level. (There's no productive inefficiency because firms have the same costs, and the shift involves an increase in firms' costs). If demand falls, both the triangle and rectangle shrink. The same happens if costs rise.
Part 2: Short Answer
(20 points each)
In 4-6 sentences AND/OR equations, answer all three of the following questions.
1. Consider a Cournot model with two firms. P=10-Q, and Total Cost=K for each firm. In equilibrium, all firms that produce must be profitable, and all firms that can profitably produce do so. Graph market price as a function of K. Explain your reasoning.
Key fact to remember: In the Cournot model, each firm's revenue is given by: . So if two firms remain in the market, each earns 100/9 – K, and if only one firm remains, it earns 25-K.
From this we can immediately deduce that if K>25, zero firms will remain in the market, and the effective price of the good will be infinite (since it's no longer available at any price).
If K≤100/9, similarly, both firms stay in the market, and we get the Cournot duopoly result: q=10/3, Q=20/3, P=10/3.
What if 100/9>K>25? Then there's only one firm, and it charges the monopoly price – unless it foresees that this will provoke entry. The monopoly price is 5, and the monopoly quantity is 5 as well. Will charging the monopoly price ever provoke entry? No. If the incumbent firm produces 5, an entrant would maximize:
, which reaches a maximum at qe=2.5, which is only profitable for K≤25/4, which is less than 100/9.
Bottom line: For low K, there are two firms and the Cournot duopoly result. For medium K, there is one firm and the monopoly result. For high K, there are no firms at all.
2. In the real world, why don't reputational incentives eliminate all fraud?
Some of the obvious reasons: In the real world, time preference, number of turns, and utility functions all vary widely – and none of them are knowable with certainty. So in the real world, it is often hard to tell whether or not reputational incentives will work – and people often decide it's better to just take their chances. Another key problem: In the real world, honest mistakes happen, so trigger strategies just aren't practical. But even setting all of these problems aside, there's a more fundamental reason why fraud will never disappear completely: As the rate of fraud falls, so does the optimal level of effort to prevent fraud. But as anti-fraud effort falls, the incentive for fraud increases. Think about this as a game where sellers can be Honest or Dishonest, and buyers can either be Trusting or Cautious. In the MSNE, 100% Honesty will never be an equilibrium, because if 100% of sellers were Honest, 100% of buyers would be Trusting, which means that Dishonesty pays.
3. "Free market economists typically express confidence in the ability of markets to produce public goods... At the same time, free market economists tend to be pessimistic about the stability of cartels in an unregulated market. If markets successfully produce local public goods, however, why are stable cartels not more prevalent?" (Cowen and Sutter 1999)
Explain Cowen and Sutter's argument using basic game theory. Does it make sense in the real world? Why or why not?
Their argument is that producing public goods and maintaining cartels are both Prisoners' Dilemmas. (In fact, you could say that "maintaining the cartel" is a public good from the point of view of the participating firms). While is in the collective interest of members to cooperate, it is in their individual interests to defect.
The argument makes some sense in the real world. Private production of public goods and stable, voluntary cartels are both rare. However, there are some important differences. Many people get a "warm glow" from contributing to public goods production – showing a little altruism makes them feel like better people. It's a lot harder for cartels to appeal to members' altruism. Unions are a good exception – and it's interesting to note that unions often enroll a few percent of the workforce even without government help. Another point worth mentioning: The short-run gains from undercutting a cartel are much larger than the short-run gains of refusing to contribute to a public good. The firm that cheats on a cartel can steal the whole market; the donor who cheats on a voluntary public good just saves his donation.

The majority of the people reading this will be living in relative luxury. Few of those who have the means to access the internet are struggling each day for heat, light or food. If you have a decent speed broadband connection, you are unlikely to be running from war, abuse or slavery.
Yet as you are reading this, thousands, even millions of people are in precisely those situations. In the time it has taken you to read this, children have been captured or swayed into sex slavery by people whose only concern is cash and whose foul work serves the rising hunger in the "rich west" for sexual gratification via pornography, prostitution and even paedophilia.
So, what do we do? Do we sit idly on the sidelines and pretend none of this matters? Do we read this post and get straight back to building our own little cash-lined kingdoms? Do we turn around and protest when someone dares even touch our mini-empires while young people the same age as our own nephews, nieces, cousins, sons and daughters are violated?
Maybe if we lifted our eyes from the "financial crisis" we would find it in our hearts (and our wallets) to give something to those who are truly oppressed.
The Bible is clear, we can do all the miracles we want, even raise the dead but if we have not been moved with compassion to set the oppressed free, clothe the naked and house the homeless, Jesus will say those awful words "depart from me, I never knew you."
If we really know Jesus, we will be moved with compassion as He was. Today, I would like to ask you to turn this into something concrete. One Christian organisation: the A21 Campaign is doing all they can to fight human trafficking and its associated evils in society. That link sends you to their list of 21 Ways to Help page.
Come on. We call ourselves believers, but are we really going to act like it or not?

Roulette is a game common to all modern casinos. A gambling establishment can't simply lack it, as it is one of the casino games from which a casino proprietor can make a big amount of profit. This is due to the fact that it has a large crowd of players, and has kept on attracting more bettors day after day.
The two primary features that make roulette such a popular game are its simplicity and its supposed winnability. While being a simple game has its own charm, many roulette players undoubtedly are enamored with roulette for the high possibilities of winning at the game. How the game is perceived to be fairly easy to win can be traced to the nearly 50% winning odds it can give the players on certain bets. Having a fair chance to win and lose at roulette definitely made the game attractive, especially to the profit-seeking crowd.
Things to Consider to Win Roulette
Now what does it take to win roulette? Consider these following factors:
1. Playing the right roulette game.
The first thing you should consider if you want to go beating roulette is what roulette game should you play. Different varieties of roulette use different roulette wheels. The more zero or green slots the wheel has, the higher the game's house edge typically is. Thus, it is often advised that one should only play single zero roulette, particularly the European and French versions, as they have the lowest house edge of 2.7% compared to double zero variations that have 5.26%.
2. Placing the right bet.
Where you wager on the roulette table, the layout has a lot to do with beating roulette. No, we won't be talking about what numbers come up most in all spins in this certain casino but rather, what type of bet you should make. Individual numbers, though able to pay out the highest amount aren't recommended in this case, as they have the lowest odds of winning at one out of 37 or 38 chances. Outside bets, especially even-money wagers like black and red, are recommended as they can have the highest frequency of winning compared to other bets.
3. Money management.
As roulette is totally random, you ought to be able to stay on the table long enough until you get into a lucky winning spree. An effective management of the bankroll is of prime consideration for this to be possible. The idea is conserving your funds such that you can endure the losses while betting in a way that you get the most out of your wins. Simple strategies can work for you to achieve this, just remember to be careful with or simply not to opt for aggressive ones as these tend to give the opposite result.
4. Luck.
Let's get real. The truth behind beating roulette is that only lucky ones actually succeed in it. In fact, luck is perhaps the only thing you'll need to win roulette, but then you can't just get it like any tangible object. You ought to bet at the right place and at the right time.
Managing your funds and playing the game right are keys to win at roulette. However, none of these would have a real effect on your game if you are short on luck, the most important roulette-beating element.

Hey mate !!!!
I guess we were all having some down time - since you have not been seen for a while, we have been down
However, I'm suddenly feeling a lot brighter now you have resurfaced !!
So, how's your driving going these days now the cold has gone?
Posted 13 May 2010 - 02:17 AM

New solids? Will let you know if Harrods have anything new......
Posted 13 May 2010 - 08:47 AM
Regarding the brakes...I had new one's installed in the front only. Am still confused about that. On the way home from the dealership I applied said brakes, heard a noise that No One wants to hear coming from their car, and proceeded to hit the back of a bus. Am currently in "talks" with said dealership, and some of the words are not too nice. Would rather think about Solids for a while. (Key word: "think")
But I will be back...promise!

No Zooey ! I thought you were adept in applying the heel of your foot out the door for brakes, a la Flinstones style. Gees, I hope that you are OK and everyone on the bus too ! Never a dull moment with you, thats for sure !
Petals - sorry not to clarify 'cold' but Zooey was right when she said I meant the cold weather . . .
So yeah - Woody and Phyllis I think do the rounds at these conventions . . . and sometimes Kasi who I haven't seen I here for a while either . . . where are ya'll ?

Woody's hiding right now because he'd rather we didn't know about it. And since it's in Chicago, am sure he'd be delighted if we all stayed with him for 3 days, so start packing!
Many thanks to Margaret for the info.
Sandra - Just a slight "bump" into the bus...did not have time to get my foot out the door. Besides, was wearing my Sketchers and hate to ruin them. No one was injured...just a little shaken up. Air bags did not even deploy, TG!
Hey Woody - We know you're out there....can't hide forever!

There's exactly one sterling scene in Dark Matter, an encounter between brilliant but increasingly marginalized cosmology researcher Liu Xing (Liu Ye) and his department's generous, China-obsessed benefactor Joanna (Meryl Streep). Driven to sell beauty products door-to-door after proposing—to complete dismissal—a hypothesis about the universe's dark matter that contradicts his esteemed professor's own theory, Liu arrives at Joanna's home and, in an exchange filled with embarrassment, frustration, and anger, silently and gently applies a topical cream to her quivering cheek. It's a quiet but highly charged moment that speaks volumes in its silence, thereby making it the only scene in Chen Shi-Zheng's film that isn't TV movie-grade humdrum.
In this based-on-actual-events tale, Liu Xing arrives in the States during the early '90s to pursue a PhD—and, he hopes, the Nobel Prize—under the tutelage of Aidan Quinn's Professor Reiser, who brags about rebelling against his mentor but, upon learning that Liu plans to challenge his famous Reiser Model, quickly finds a more compliant researcher to be teacher's pet. Reiser's condemnation of communism's conformity and admiration for democratic individualism is thus presented as a sham, but aside from depicting American academia as a cutthroat environment that can inspire deadly resentment, there's not much going on in Dark Matter, in large part because director Chen and screenwriter Billy Shebar's script—aside from the aforementioned meeting between Liu and Joanna—never truly gets underneath its increasingly troubled protagonist's surface.
Instead, they simply opt for bland melodrama gussied up with the occasional flourish, from exploding-supernova special effects, to Streep performing Tai Chi exercises on a rooftop (like some outtake from Vanilla Sky), to title cards that segment the story for reasons almost as oblique as the explications about dark matter, a concept apparently so complex that the film avoids substantially addressing it—and the dramatically crucial differences between Liu and Reiser's theories—except via clunky metaphors.
