My Response to a racist Facebook friend regarding a picture they've posted many times before:
I felt I summed up the reason why this is inaccurate and an invalid historical representation of the facts in my final response below. Let me know if you disagree or have more to add in the comments:
Andrew Jackson was our first Irish President when elected in 1829. 53 years after the Declaration of Independence. There have been 16 others since him. We just had our first black president in 2008. My point is simply this….White Irish Americans have nothing to complain about. We are fine and do not suffer for being Irish. Was there a small period of time where them immigrating here during the potato famines, scared the shit out of people that were already living here? Ya know, "they will take all our jobs…we were here first" (sound familiar?) that was a little rough, but we didn't suffer that for long before becoming indistinguishable from other white people. Can I tell when I see a pasty, freckled redhead if he's Irish? Sure, but I wouldn't look at any of us and be able to know that just by looking. Black people, since 1776, have suffered slavery, which was abolished in 1865. The Irish presidents before that didn't set them free and they had to deal with trying to blend in with people that hated them just for being them. They had no education and most had to move North. Guess what…that freaked out a lot of established white people and they moved out of those neighborhoods. This helped create the ghettos and other neighborhoods that are full of poor folks. They had to continue to suffer during the Jim Crow era. Separate but equal sounded good but really was just American Apartheid. They had to sit in certain places, couldn't go other places, had to eat separate, go to school separate, everything separate. This lasted until the 1960's when civil rights activists started protesting. Whites and Blacks fought together for equal rights which the government eventually awarded them. This doesn't end racism however, gentlemen. This just makes it illegal to be openly so…to deny them jobs or other services based on their skin color. It doesn't change people's minds or remove their prejudices. The next attack came from the Drug War. Starting in the 1960's and getting ramped up to epic levels during the Reagan years, this failed effort didn't target white people in white neighborhoods. No, this was a direct attack on the poor people (yes, whites included, but proportionately, most poor people were black) and their means of supporting their families. Families were destroyed because more and more relatives and parents were being put in jail. Leaving little left to make money on except to do exactly what their parents had done. Because of the black market created by the drug war, drugs became a lucrative industry leading rise to gangs and organized crime. Since then, a lot of blacks and poor white folks get reputations based on all this bullshit playing out in their lives. Whether they ever did anything at all to participate doesn't matter. This is still tough to shake today. Should they bitch about racism? It probably is better to start trying to move forward and heal…however, 80 civilians have been killed by police these 30 days of the new year….0 cops have lost their lives yet. There is a war still going on and it's not just blacks. It's against the poor. It just happens that the Irish have pulled themselves out of the crap by becoming regular, white Americans. They lost their accents and became just as white as any other white in the US. A black person can't do that. So we should all move to try and accept certain truths. One is, the Irish aren't complaining because we have nothing left to complain about in America in regards to being Irish. Two, black people are complaining because they have a TON to be upset about. They are still having trouble shaking all the bullsh*t. By telling them they have nothing to complain about doesn't make them say, "ok, you're right Mr. White Man. My bad." No, it only causes more division. So just acknowledge that the Irish have nothing to complain about and black folks just may have something to complain about. Then we can work on what's broken together and there will be no excuses for either "side" to complain about the other. We can just all become Americans united as common human beings. I know what you are trying to say, just try saying it without this picture that you have posted more than once. It's not accurate. The US was not in existence when the Irish had it worst. If you were just saying what you are attempting to say without using this non-factual picture, you wouldn't hear me say an Efin word, I promise.

Remove the pan from the heat and set aside whilst you cook the scallops. Gently pat any excess moisture from the scallops with kitchen paper, season both sides of the scallops with salt and pepper.Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a non stick frying on a high temperature. Now place the scallops into the pan, you want to hear an instant sizzle, don't be tempted to move the scallops leave them to cook for 1 minute, then turn them over one by one, they should have a nice caramel colour on the cooked side. After a further minute remove scallops from the pan.Arrange the scallops onto each plate, now mix the warm pepper salad with the lambs lettuce serve this with the scallops, drizzle the oil that is left in the pepper pan over your scallops followed by some chopped parsley.See more Half hour recipes For top tips on protecting you and your family when preparing raw meat and poultry, visit Food Safety in the Home.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
PSA. It stands for Public Service Announcement, and though that particular acronym has some stodgy connotations, the PSA is alive and well today in this, the age of the viral video. Anything created with the good intentions of Public Service ought to be celebrated, but what happens when huge swaths of the Public end up suffering as a result? Is that still Service?
In this Rock the Vote video encouraging people to vote in the upcoming midterm elections, rapper Lil' Jon repurposes his omnipresent hit "Turn Down For What?!" into "Turn Out For What?" as various celebrities boogie and tell the camera what specific issues they'll be "turning out" to vote for. Fair enough, though the translation and sprit of the original track is why on Earth would I ever turn down?!, so to try to alter that to a sincere inquiry as to what you're turning out for is a linguistic reach that makes the whole thing not quite land.
But that's me being nitpicky. The content itself bothers me more: as the clip plays and Lil' Jon smokes a novelty-sized joint (hey, he's "turning out" for marijuana legalization), as Lena Dunham introduces herself as "Lil' Lena" and does the robot, it looks too much like yet another appropriation of hip-hop culture for me to take it seriously.
Rap has historically had to fight for legitimacy in the music world, but it's a go-to choice when convenient for mainstream white media to use or profit from it.
I tweeted that last night in response to yet another corporate twitter account casually quoting rap lyrics to promote their product in a crass and appropriative way.
With "Turn Out For What," I tried to be glad that at least Lil' Jon himself was involved and it wasn't only the fancy white celebrities um, er… "rapping," but still -- sigh.
Full disclosure: Lena Dunham's presence in this particular spot made it even more distasteful to me. Ms. Dunham is a polarizing figure in entertainment and while I've never met the woman and one can't help but salute all that she's achieved in the industry, I don't personally connect with her body of work at all and her caricatures of hip-hop stature in this spot read to me as especially egregious.
I understand trying to hit the young demographic and the recognition of a radio hit, but with the wealth of music out there, the use of this song comes off as cutesy and clever and a few other c-words that make me crinkle my nose. How about one of the many rap tracks that have a truly positive message to begin with and are not just about getting turnt at the club?
Or this flawless spot by the Department of Peace wherein celebrities lip-synch to Lesley Gore's classic "You Don't Own Me," urging women to vote to protect our rights. Lena Dunham is in this one too, so good on her for lending her face to multiple worthy causes, and in this one she and a beautifully diverse group of women are sincere and wonderful and entertaining and effective at probably a fraction of the cost of the Rock the Vote hip-hop extravaganza.
Sarah Silverman is another award-winning woman in entertainment that I want to completely and totally applaud for, and yet…OK, look. Part of Ms. Silverman's shtick is that she says what she wants to and will comedically roast anyone and anything, from rape to Christ. It's not up to me to say what's funny or not, but my feeling is that I get what she's doing so if it personally rubs me the wrong way, that's on me, not on her.
Then there are the bits of hers that take things a bit further: blackface, as she performed it, is not a choice that I can shrug off quite so easily, and something as shockingly tone deaf as her recent video for the National Women's Law Center is simply beyond the pale. In service of the Equal Payback Project, the spot shows Sarah glibly choosing from fake penises for a cartoonishly portrayed medical procedure so that she can battle the gender wage gap by "becoming a dude." This PSA seems like it was made in a vacuum in which the entire trans community does not exist and wherein gender confirmation surgery never happens. As a cis woman, I understand that my disgust over this is clip is viewed through that lens, so let me direct you to s.e. smith's formidable response here.
The outcry was so great that Ms. Silverman issued this "apology":
I may be jogging your memories a bit far, but a few years ago on the messy reality program "Basketball Wives," Ms. Evelyn Lozada once incited a fistfight with the declaration that another woman was "a non-motherfucking factor" to her. Profanity aside, this is simply an awful thing to say to someone, so while I wish to endorse neither the ensuing fisticuffs nor the messiness of the program as a whole, I do wish to draw a parallel between what Evelyn and Sarah said. I never even considered your existence is far more insulting than many statements that could seem like more direct verbal blows.
Over the past few days, a video of a woman being street harassed while walking through NYC has been shared and featured on major media platforms seemingly non-stop. I've written about street harassment here, and it is a major issue in my life. As strongly as I feel about it and as much as I want the fight against it to get the attention this video is getting, I had to struggle to even get through the clip. Because of the importance of this issue, I actually stifled my immediate anger at this footage of a white-appearing woman being harassed almost exclusively by black men.
Critiques of the racial bias began to pop up in my social media stream, and while it was comforting to know I wasn't alone in my disgust, some people don't understand that we can value the cause and the effort while still saying that the result is deeply flawed, so we who critiqued got blowback or brushed off. It's difficult to have these critiques poo-pooed away with "Well it's not perfect, but…." Nothing is perfect, and that's fine. But it didn't have to be quite this faulty.
Then came these comments wherein Rob Bliss of Rob Bliss Creative, who partnered with popular anti-harassment organization Hollaback to produce the video, admits to editing out the white men, saying in part that "[They] got a fair amount of white guys, but for whatever reason, a lot of what they said was in passing, or off camera," also mentioning that footage of white men's comments was compromised by sirens and other NYC noise. OF COURSE they didn't plan to single out men of color, but there were incidental technical and sound issues that made their footage unusable.
The worst part is, I get it. I'm no big media firm, but I too have shot and edited my own videos for YouTube and other outlets. What you thought was going to work when you shot it might end up on the (digital, imaginary) cutting room floor, especially when recording outside. It can get unbearably noisy out there; I know what it's like to walk the streets of New York City. And because I know what it's like to walk the streets of New York City, I called bullshit on that video immediately. Well, not total bullshit. And there's the rub.
The intention is good. The struggle is real and those of us who fight need every voice we can singing out in service of equality, privacy, and the right to simply go from Point A to Point B without feeling threatened.
But I don't see us getting there by singling out black men, which is what Hollaback's video did. I don't believe they harbored any malicious intent in making it, and yet, was no one involved neither a person of color nor simply a decent human being (or both) who could've alerted them to the clear bias in the final edit before it was released into the world? I don't want to believe that they just didn't care, that my own brothers were a "non-motherfucking factor."
I haven't ever made a hidden-camera video documenting my own street harassment, though I've thought about it many times. The thing that has stopped me is that I have yet to figure out how to accurately and quickly portray the fact that it's not just one type or race of man doing the hollering, and not just in one neighborhood. It's extremely important to me to accurately and non-prejudicially represent my harassers, and I only wish that had been as important to the Hollaback/Bliss team.
Again, I truly believe that we're all in this together. But am I salty that this one video of a white-appearing woman being harassed almost exclusively by black men is the one that went viral? You bet. And then to read a shrugging, dismissive response to the outcry of racist bias?
Hollaback has just released a statement addressing some of the unintended responses to the video, saying, "We regret the unintended racial bias in the editing of the video." That sentiment is appreciated, but considering that 10 hours of footage was edited to under two minutes, it's difficult to swallow that the cut they ended up with wasn't viewed as more problematic before its release.
My brothers have enough to deal with in fearing for their lives on a daily basis. Did they really need this additional villainization? I organize every aspect of my life to minimize street harassment, and yet I would never release a video of my black ass being harassed exclusively by white men (who are not even a marginalized group to begin with), to make a point, however serious and important and major that point may be to me. I can't justify trampling a chunk of the population in service of my good cause.
These are all good causes. I maintain that it is possible to promote these endeavors and salute the good intentions of these content creators while also critiquing them and gesturing toward the proverbial road to hell. I think we can take these good ideas about good causes and pledge to do better. PLEASE vote in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Please support closing the wage gap and ending street harassment. And please also do what you can to not trample marginalized groups in the pursuit of these worthy endeavors.
They're not mutually exclusive ideas; I promise.

For more information on TABE Testing please view our TABE info sheet.
Owners of pets and other animals today expect state-of-the-art veterinary care. To provide this service, veterinarians use the skills of veterinary technicians and veterinary assistants, who perform many of the same duties for a veterinarian that a nurse would for a physician, including routine laboratory and clinical procedures. Veterinary assistants are entry-level health care professionals who work in many different settings to provide medical care for sick or injured animals. Some other duties may involve providing water and food to animals and cleaning/disinfecting their cages and work areas. Veterinary assistants are responsible for sterilizing lab and surgical equipment and provide pre- and post-operative care. Under the supervision of a veterinarian, veterinary assistants may be asked to administer medications orally and/or topically.
With pet ownership on the rise, the need for skilled veterinary assistants is in great demand.
Students will be taught how to care for sick and injured animals in a veterinarian office, clinic or animal hospital. Students will learn client relations, office and hospital procedures, animal nursing, exam room procedures (hospital sanitation, weight/temperature, animal handling, and restraining and preventative care protocols), surgical prep and assisting, laboratory procedures, radiology and pharmacology.
Prerequisites for this course are vital to ensure success in this program. Candidates interested in this program must meet the following prerequisites prior to registering for the program:

The Clean Air Act, while successful in many ways, has taken some criticism because of its New Source Review (NSR) requirement. This states that when an existing plant seeks to modify its operations, the entire plant must comply with current standards for new sources. This requirement was included to improve air quality in dirty areas, and prevent a deterioration ...

24 Scoop: More on Katee Sackhoff as Dana WalshMatt Richenthal at . Comments
If this is the last season of 24, the long-running Fox hit is pulling out all the guest-starring stops.
Freddie Prince Jr. and Katee Sackhoff are both coming on board the drama, playing key roles at the new, New York-based CTU.
Sackhoff spoke to Sci-Fi Wire this week about her role as Dana Walsh. A few excerpts from the interview...
Walsh is Chloe's boss: "Dana is permanently happy," the actress said. "I think that also pisses Chloe off, because Dana's like, 'Oh, no, it's totally fine that you don't get it. Let me help you. It's great. I'll do that. It's fine. You don't need to figure it out, because I'm good enough to do both our jobs.' So that really pisses Chloe off."
Something happens at CTU... but Sackhoff can't reveal any 24 spoilers: "I don't know if anyone thinks that's actually a big secret,'" she joked "Could you imagine? So this is a 24 episode, and the whole season is just about nothing. No controversy, nobody dies, nobody gets beat up, Jack Bauer doesn't do anything. He might not even show up, and for 24 hours that would just be what it is. Could you imagine?"

This is the story of my ongoing battle with rosacea, including no-no's, tips and tricks, and my before and after pictures.
Here is my "before" picture of me with rosacea, and without any makeup. This picture was taken recently when my rosacea was at its worst ever. I almost never went out in public like this. People did double takes on me. "Wow, you got really sunburned!" is what I hear and translate as, "Wow, you are really ugly!" Um, yeah, thanks.
My rosacea started in my 30's. You can read stories online of people who have rosacea and how the awful redness, blotchiness, and pimples are nothing compared to the true and ultimate horror of growing the bulbous nose. W.C. Fields is often given as a prime example.
Here are some links to pictures from the National Rosacea Society:
This one shows a couple of bulbous noses: https://www.rosacea.org/patients/faces.php
One trick I learned was to use a cover-up stick ALL OVER my face, not just over small problem areas, and then apply liquid base (you may call it foundation), and finally powder. It works pretty well, but feels heavy and I don't like having this on my face for long hours at work.
Another trick I tried was to get sunburned. My face will peel and I will have a fresh set of skin, or I will tan over. Nope – don't do it. You will only look like a nuclear bomb went off in the immediate vicinity.
Yet another trick I discovered was the green tinted makeup. Not Halloween makeup! It is very hard to find. You have to search grocery stores, drug stores, and the likes of Kmart or Walmart and you might find one item. I never found a green tinted base, but I did find a green tinted cover-up stick, and I applied my regular base and powder over this. The idea is that green and red make brown/tan. I thought I looked okay, but my husband told me I looked sick, literally green around the gills. But, I have tried this off and on over the years.
To give you an idea of green makeup and what I am talking about, I am including Amazon affiliate links if you are interested in giving green makeup a try. Perhaps you are better with makeup than I am.
So finally, I went to a dermatologist. Cureable? No. What to avoid: Stress, coffee, caffeinated beverages, sun, wind, alcohol, spicy food, hot showers, hot tubs, hot baths. Bummer – I like all of those things, except for stress.
I was prescribed metrogel as a remedy. It is a gel you apply to your face. I can't say I noticed a huge difference. But by today's standards, my rosacea was still in its infancy so perhaps it worked better than I thought, or at least kept it from getting worse. I'm not sure.
I don't recall how much the metrogel costs, but you do need a prescription for it. Here is a link to their site: https://www.metrogel.com/
At some point I ran out of metrogel and got sick of going to the dermatologist. So a few years pass and my face continues to redden. Back to the dermatologist who now recommended I get my face lasered.
The laser dermatologist recommended I do one side of my face so that I could see if it made a difference. I wish I had taken pictures. It is said that the laser feels like a rubber band snapping on your skin, but I say it feels like being sandblasted one small area at a time. You end up with a throbbing, aching pain, the kind of pain where you feel each heartbeat in your face. The pain goes away within half an hour or so. Ironically, you are left with a very red, sometimes bruised face. My doc admitted after seeing some dark, purple bruising, that the laser was "up too high" and he turned it down.
I was glad he suggested doing one cheek, because I did notice a difference, but probably wouldn't have if he had done both cheeks.
The next treatment included both cheeks. I wised up and asked about my Rudolph nose. I thought I had one face, but in the dermatology world, you actually have two cheeks, one nose, one chin, and one forehead, all priced differently. I HATE that!!!! By the way, laser to the nose really, really, REALLY hurts!
I ended up doing the laser treatments 3 or 4 times and my cheeks are still lopsided to this day, but you can't tell by looking. Laser is not covered by insurance and I found it to be too time consuming (long drive to the big city) and honestly I didn't have the funds to be this vain. I want to say it was around $140 per cheek? I can't quite remember, except that it was expensive. However, at the time I thought this was a permanent or at least a long lasting solution. It did make a big difference. I actually could and would go out in public without any makeup, and nobody looked twice or said anything. Unfortunately, this only lasted about 1-2 years.
After some time, and disgust, I thought I would try a new dermatologist. Said new doc was also a newbie doc. He recommended a sulfur cream. Unfortunately I don't recall the prescription name, but I do recall smelling like sulfur all day, as well as smelling sulfur all day – it burned my nostrils. If it had worked, I would still reek of sulfur to this day.
Years and years pass. My face has become horribly, blotchy red, and now, the pimples . . . so superficial that they come off easily with a scrape of the fingernail. I went back to the first dermatologist. I arrive without makeup and see not only other patients doing a double take on me, but the receptionist herself. The doc took one look at me and said, "You're a disaster! We can't have you walking around looking like that!" I agreed.
Luckily, times had changed. He prescribed Soolantra twice daily and Doxycycline once daily. I'm not sure about the theory behind the antibiotic, but it is a low dose antibiotic, not something you would take for a typical infection. The difference was huge. It took about two weeks for me to see great results. I do have insurance so each visit cost me a $35 copay. The doxy was a couple of dollars, and one tube of Soolantra cost $60, which lasted around 3 weeks using it twice daily.
After some time, I saw my doc again and he wanted me to stop the pills and do the cream once daily. My "after" pic you see actually looks a pinch worse than when I was at my best with the full initial treatment.
So here are the results, before and after.
Funny enough, when I look at the "after" pic I think I don't look so great, but in comparison to the before pic, I think, "Much Better!" Perhaps now that I know how bad it can get, I have lowered my standards and am more accepting of my "after" pic look. Maybe I will try some green makeup again.
If you suffer from rosacea, I hope this post helps you see that there is help. Please see a dermatologist. As an endnote, I would like to say I realize that people are suffering from much worse. The bigger lesson learned is to please think twice before you say things to strangers in public.

By Molly Daly and Walt Hunter
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia police are investigating a report that a man tried to lure a teenage girl into his car Monday morning in the Oxford Circle section of Northeast Philadelphia.
It happened about 8 a.m. on Summerdale Avenue, near Benner Street. Police say the man pulled up in a blue Toyota sedan and repeatedly offered the 14-year-old girl a ride.
She ran away, and the suspect drove south on Summerdale.
Authorities say the child was able to report the incident to a crossing guard near her middle school.
"It's very scary as a parent, and I think it's very ridiculous for someone to come after a child. I hope that they catch him," said Rosaling Wrotten, a parent.
The suspect is described as a long-haired Asian Indian man, around 40 years old, wearing a maroon and gold jacket.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS (215-686-8477).

China Getting Closer To Lifting 13 Year Video Game Console Ban
The news is that China is likely to remove their 13 year console ban, but they have a small demand. Foreign firms like Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft must make their products in Shanghai's new free trade zone. Even with the reported likelihood, there's a lot of paperwork to be sorted out. Games need to be censored. They don't want them to be too violent or politically sensitive for young people. While these games have not been available in China, gamers have still found their way to play them through the Black Market and pirate disk shops.
A spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong said: "We recognize that mainland China is a promising market. We will continuously study the possibility, but there is no concrete plan at this stage." Meanwhile, Ralph Haupter, the chairman and chief executive at Microsoft Greater China, told the Post last month that the company was working to address the legal requirements to enable the release of its new Xbox One console on the mainland.
Fortunately, Premier Li Keqiang, wants to make the Chinese economy more open to the rest of the world and to make its currency more widely used. But there are still no promises.

What are the odds of getting even? Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and the gang would have only one reason to pull off their most ambitious and riskiest casino heist--to defend one of their own. But they're going to need more than luck on their side to break The Bank. Ruthless casino owner Willy Bank (Al Pacino) never imagined that the odds were against him when he double-crossed Danny Ocean's friend and mentor Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), putting the distraught Reuben in a hospital bed in critical condition. But Bank miscalculated...badly. He may have taken down one of the original Ocean's eleven, but he left the others standing and, worse for him, gave them a shared purpose: to take Bank down on the night of what should be his greatest triumph--the grand opening of his new casino, appropriately named The Bank. Their strategy is twofold. First they will ruin him financially by turning the tables on the precept that the house always wins. But that's just money. The knockout punch will be to Bank's personal pride and joy: his reputation as the only hotelier who has earned the Royal Review Board's Five Diamond Award on every single one of his hotels. The plan is elaborate, dangerous and damn near impossible...but there are no limits when it comes to one of their own.
The Ocean's Thirteen Basket includes a 20oz Coke, assorted candy & snacks, and a tub of microwave popcorn.

Singer, Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist and Record Producer Carl Jackson was honored in Louisville, MS with the latest Historical marker on the Mississippi Country Music Trail. Louisville is Jackson's hometown.
Mary Beth Wilkerson, director of the Mississippi Development Authority's Tourism Division, said, "Carl Jackson proudly represents Mississippi's rich musical heritage. He is an important addition to the Country Music Trail and deserves this honor."
The location of the marker was once a doctor's office, where Jackson was born, according to an article in the Winston County Journal.
"I feel so blessed to be born and raised here," Jackson told the crowd gathered in the drizzling rain to commemorate the occasion.
Jackson began his professional music career at age 14, playing banjo with Jim and Jesse McReynolds on the Grand Ole Opry stage and has been turning heads in the music industry ever since.
After a five-year stint with the McReynolds' Virginia Boys, Jackson soon became the featured banjo player for country and pop star Glen Campbell, touring with him from 1972 to 1984. As instrumentalist, lead or back-up vocalist, songwriter and producer, he found success in both the bluegrass and mainstream country fields.
His premier banjo work was often spotlighted while playing with Emmylou Harris' Angel Band in 1986. He also recorded four country singles for Columbia Records, two of them Top 40 hits. He went on to perform with artists including Hank Williams Jr., Roger Miller, Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks.
Jackson wrote chart hits including "(Love Always) Letter to Home" for Campbell, "Put Yourself in My Place" for Pam Tillis," and "No Future in the Past" for Vince Gill.
His many awards include a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album (1991's "Spring Training" with John Starling) and 2003's Grammy for Country Album of the Year for "Livin', Lovin', Losin' - Songs of the Louvin Brothers."
The celebrated record producer's latest project is the newly-released all-star "Mark Twain: Words & Music" featuring the talents of Jimmy Buffett, Clint Eastwood, Garrison Keillor and many more.
Jackson was inducted into the Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame in 2006.
Much like the Mississippi Blues Trail, which now garners more than 140 markers, the Mississippi Country Music Trail celebrates Mississippi's rich heritage of country music legends and chart toppers.

I've had some trouble out of my rechargeable batteries lately, so I've haven't been able to take any pix of Round 2 rotation. Here's lots of pix:
Awen Inspiration at 40 hours:
Midnight Orchard at 60 hours- LOVE her flaming hair!!
This is an older BAP called 4 Horses of Apocolypse by Kustom Krafts. It has always been one of my favorite pieces, and I have started it 3 times... hopefully this will get done one day- 20 hours:
I am also restarting Metamorphosis by Wolk within the hour. I was originally stitching on 32 ct tent over 1. Too much tension- making it warp. Now I'm going to my favorite 28 ct monaco 1x1. I bought an entire roll of rose colored monaco (the only color they had), so I have a piece big enough. Woohoo- gotta go stitch...

SNE plans
I'd like to share my plan so far on how to archieve SNE. Would be cool if someone these something that he thinks I would be doing wrong or if it could be done better. Some stuff might be a little bit randomly put in a category, but I hope that it still makes sense.
If I get to finish my challenge I should be able to play up to nl400. So I would play a mix of nl100-nl400sh. Adding FR could be a solution, too, but I think I should try to concentrate on only one game, because I already play 24 tables and having to look on different layouts shouldn't really work out or better it could work out, but at the moment I don't feel the need to do so.
Having nl200+nl400 in there is very important in order to archieve the goal of an average daily vpp. Like on 2p2 the sne pursuit thread, they always tell you where the pace is at the moment, and I believe that I want to be above that all the time. But, I should calculate it that I would be able to do it by just playing nl100.
Time managment
I think the best for me is to play 2 sessions a day. Each session will last for 3 hours. That's a lot of time at the tables close to every day. I'm going to play 6 out of 7 days, while one day I will be completly away from poker. Not reading/posting in any forum, not watching any vids or doing any theory. I think this is really important, because you really want to have one day of. The problem is that I have a job. So I can only take my day of at the weekend. Because I know that I will watch every game of Borussia Dortmund, I will always not play on the day on which they play (unless they play on a Friday, which I doubt will happen most of the time because of the Champions League).
The second important thing is to think about how much time I really need between the sessions. Right now I work with 2 hours, which might sound a little bit to long, but so far I'm ok with it. 2 hours mean that I can really do something different. I can do some sports, watch TV, clean my appartment, go to the supermarket, etc. But I think that I have to make a good plan for this, too, because the free time I have I really have to spent on useful things.
I think if you really want to go through such a tough time, you have to really fix these things. Doing some sports and take care that you really eat healthy. That's at the moment a real problem for me, because I am really lazy at both. I plan on starting yoga (a lot of people have recommended it to me), because it should help in a lot of spots which are important to a poker player. The nutrition thing should be easy to fix, too, I just have to cook a little bit more. Driving to McD or ordering some pizza is obv more easy, but on the other hand it costs you a lot of money. I haven't really figuered this out yet completly, but I really believe that this is really important, so I will spent a lot of time to get this fixed.
Game schedule
I wrote that I would like to play nl100-nl400. So the vpp at the various stakes are for me atm:
- nl100: 0,38vpp/hand
- nl200: 0,55vpp/hand
- nl400: 0,77vpp/hand
I think those numbers might drop a little bit, because I might play a tighter style. Nothing big, but maybe just 0,34vpp/hand at nl100 and so on. In order to make SNE I need to be able to do it completly at nl100. So: 1.000.000 / 0,34 ~= 2.940.000 hands
I plan on playing 6 out of 7 days, so over the year I would be playing 365 / 7 * 6 ~= 313 days.
This means I would have to play 2.940.000 / 313 ~= 9.400 hands a day.
Taking it one step further: 9.400 / 6 ~= 1.567 hands/hour.
In order to have some buffer, I believe that I should aim for 1.100.000vpp. So putting everything together: 1.100.000 / 0,34 / 313 ~= 10.400 hands/day.
That's the realy crazy part about it. But, I think I am able to do it while playing 6 hours a day.
I hope I'll be able to play a mix of nl100-nl400. Maybe like 1/8 nl400, 2/8 nl200 and 5/8 nl100. Would mean 0,75 * 1/8 + 0,50 * 2/8 + 0,34 * 5/8 = 0,094 + 0,125 + 0,2125 = 0,4315 vpp/hand. Those are 27% more then if I would only play nl100!! Or in other words: ~686.000 I would need to play less! So I really hope that this will work out, might make a big difference if you have to grind a complete year.
The most interesting part: The reward!^^
I hope Pokerstars won't do a lot of changes (well, maybe adding some more money to the rewards would be cool^^). I get money from VIP Stellar, Milestone-VPP and from bonus. Numbers are calculated on 1.100.00 vpp and starting as Sup
- VIP Stellar (http://www.pokerstars.eu/vip/stellar/): 1.200$
- Milestone-VPP (http://www.pokerstars.eu/vip/milestone/): 43.200$
- Bonus (http://www.pokerstars.eu/vip/store/store.shtml?cat=cash-bonus&prod=cb-01): 1m*3,5+0,1m*5= 4.000.000fpp/100.000*1.600 = 64.000$
So overall I would earn 108.400$ from just playing. I'm playing on 313 days and 6 hrs/d so ~1.878 hrs overall. So I would be at 57,72$/hour.
But let's take 2 other possibilities: I make a) 2bb/100 and b) 4bb/100. What would that mean?
- a) 2bb/100 over ~3.236.000 hands: 64.720$ + 108.400$ = 173.120$ / 1.878 = 92,18$
- b) 4bb/100 over ~3.236.000 hands: 129.440$ + 108.400$ = 237.840$ / 1.878 = 126,65$
Those numbers are for nl100 only. If I would be able to play nl200+nl400, too, the volumne gets much lower.
Other points
One thing I believe some people might not think about is that if you are going for SNE, you are not only on a 1 year challenge. Imo the fpp multiplier is very important. If you are SNE you get 5fpp/vpp while on SN you only get 3,5fpp/vpp. If you just look in the bonus section above, this would make a difference of 24.000$ or 12,78$/hr! So you should really think about what you want to do after your first SNE. If you finished it one time and you plan on finishing a 2nd time, the third year is a year where you still should play to earn at least the 50k vpp/month needed.
I think it is important to have a schedule that works for the complete year. If you want to take maybe a few days off to travel around or whatever you want to do, you have to calculate those days in before you start! You don't need to know when you will take same, just know that you will take them. Taking a week off and then saying to yourself "alright, the next 40 days I play one hour longer every day" won't work out. Because after that time you might need another break and suddenly you have lost the ability to finish SNE. I am not completly sure, but I think what can and should work is to grind a little bit more in the beginning in order to allow you to take a few days off if you really need them. So I am thinking to play at the beginning 2 sessions of 4hours over 20 days so that I can take a week off if I really need it. If I don't need it that would be ok, too, because I get to SNE more faster and I can earn some more fpp over the year.
So yeah, those are my ideas so far. It's not really perfect as you can see, but I think I'm on a good way now.

Well, I wouldn't say I'm an all out adventerous type of person but I do like to walk on the wild side.
My plan is to eventually have an inground but with the prices of a professional job, it seems like I'd have to reach real far into my pockets *like down past my knees to my tippy toes* for a professional installation.
How hard would it be to build your own inground vinyl lined pool and do you really save money in the long run? Now, I understand that I'd have to hire some of the work out like electrical but could we actually do it ourselves for the most part?
I did the installation on my above ground pool but that was an above ground!! I get antsy just thinking if I could do something like this... I mean, my heart POUNDS!!!
I guess my most important question right now would be...
Does anyone recommend doing a DIY for someone with no experience in pool building except for seeing pics of pool builds online?
This is not something that is going to be started in the next year or so but I would like my inground sooner than later!!!
Any insight is much appreciated.

Overseas Travel with Electrical Apparatus
A frequently asked question from those about to travel abroad is whether or not their electrical devices will work. And the answer is yes and no.
Obviously it depends on where you're going. North American operates on 110-120 volts while most of the rest of the world uses 220-240V. Plugging in a device without checking the voltage can result in the destruction of your apparatus or even damage the operating system of the outlet you used.
First of all, do you really need it?
We all are such creatures of habit and when packing for a trip tend to think we need to bring more than we actually need, especially personal appliances such as a hair dryer, travel iron, clothes steamer and beverage heater (check to see if they are dual voltage). In this day and age, most hotels provide these as standard in room amenities, so we have second thoughts about this added baggage weight.
Check the voltage!
Small electrical devices are another issue. Computers/laptops tend to be dual voltage as do camera battery chargers. This means they can operate on 100-240 volt range. People suffering from sleep apnea bringing their CPAP or BIPAP machines need to check the voltage. This information is stated either on a label on the actual device or in the owners manual. Always know the operating level of your device before plugging it into the outlet!
If you turn out to need a voltage converter be sure to get to correct type. The choices are Solid State Converters and Transformers. They convert electricity from 220-240volts down to 110-120V (or vice versa).
Be sure to check this!
You are most likely to need one or more adapter plugs. These do not convert electricity, they modify foreign outlets to accommodate US plugs and you can need more than 1 type within an individual country.
A good source of information to determine your need is http://voltagevalet.com . You can purchase individual plugs, sets of plugs and/or multi-function units which house 4 of the most common adaptor/converter/USB charger in one device. There are several online sources for these products plus they're usually available in stores that sell luggage, some hardware stores and places such as Staples.
Another consideration, especially in third world countries or those with marginal power sources, would be a surge protector. These are voltage specific, so if you're in a 220-240V region you must have that capacity protector. There are units that provide complete three line power and modem protection. A good source for these protection products would be: http://www.magellans.com/store/Adaptors___Converters
There are any number of products out there which can be used with a wide range of electronic, motorized and heating appliances to make your overseas travel safe and comfortable.

qIt is important to familiarize ourselves with our credit report and have it close to maintain it in good standing and take advantage of it the most we can.

Bandits general manager resigns
After one year as general manager of the Quad Cities River Bandits, Stefanie Brown has resigned.
"Due to urgent family responsibilities that require significant attention at this time, Brown asked the River Bandits to reduce her role to give her more time to care for her family," said a statement from Bandits spokesperson Marco LaNave.
"Stefanie Brown is an incredibly valuable part of the River Bandits and the Quad Cities community, and one of my favorite people," said team owner Dave Heller. "She is immensely talented and will have as much of a role with the River Bandits organization as she wants, for as long as she wants."
LaNave said Brown is expected to continue to work for the River Bandits "in a substantial, but yet-to-be-determined role."
Brown joined the River Bandits in December 2007 ad director of community and client relations. She became assistant general manager the next year. She became the Midwest League's youngest general manager and only female general manager following the 2011 season.
Fan attendance during her single season as the team's general manager was the highest it had been since 1995.
The search for a new general manager for the Quad Cities River Bandits is already underway.
