The die may be defined as the female part of a complete tool for producing work in a press. It is also referred to a complete tool consists of a pair of mating members for producing work in a press. Types of dies:
The dies may be classified according to the type of press operation and according to the method of operation. (A): According to type of press operation:
According to this criterion , the dies may be classified as cutting dies and forming dies. 1: Cutting Dies:
These dies are used to cut the metal. They utilize the cutting or shearing action. The common cutting dies are : blanking dies , perforating dies , notching dies , trimming , shaving and nibbling dies. 2: Forming Dies:
These dies change the appearance of the blank without removing any stock. Theses dies include bending, drawing and squeezing dies etc. (B) According to the method of operation:
According to this criterion, the dies may be classified as : single operation or simple dies , compound dies , combination dies , progressive dies , transfer dies and multiple dies. 1: Simple Dies:
Simple dies or single action dies perform single operation for each stroke of the press slide. The operation may be one of the operation listed under cutting or forming dies. 2: Compound Dies:
In these dies, two or more operations may be performed at one station. Such dies are considered as cutting tools since, only cutting operations are carried out. Figure shows a simple compound die in which a washer is made by one stroke of the press. The washer is produced by simulation blanking and piercing operations. Compound dies are more accurate and economical in production as compared to single operation dies.
3: Combination Dies:
In this die also , more than one operation may be performed at one station. It is difficult from compound die in that in this die, a cutting operation is combined with a bending or drawing operation, due to that it is called combination die.
4: Progressive Dies:
A progressive or follow on die has a series of operations. At each station , an operation is performed on a work piece during a stroke of the press. Between stroke the piece in the metal strip is transferred to the next station. A finished work piece is made at each stroke of the press. While the piercing punch cuts a hole in the stroke , the blanking punch blanks out a portion of the metal in which a hole had been pierced at a previous station. Thus after the first stroke , when only a hole will be punched , each stroke of the press produces a finished washer.
6: Transfer Dies:
Unlike the progressive dies where the stroke is fed progressively from one station to another. In transfer dies the already cut blanks are fed mechanically from one station to other station. 7: Multiple Dies:
Multiple or gang dies produce two or more work piece at each stroke of the press. A gang or number of simple dies and punches are ganged together to produced two or more parts at each stoke of the press.
Terminology used in dies:
1: Clearance
The difference in dimensions between the mating members of a die set is called clearance. This clearance is applied in following manner: 1: when the hole has to be held to size i.e. the hole in the sheet metal is to be accurate (punching operation) , and slug is to be discarded. The punch is made to the size of the hole and the die opening size is obtained by adding clearance to the punch size. 2: In blanking operation , where the slug or blank is the desired part and has to be held to size, the die opening size equals the blank size and the punch size is obtained by subtract.
2: Cutting Forces
In cutting operation, as the punch in its downward movement enters the material, it need not penetrate the thickness of the stock in the order to offset complete rupture of the part. The distance which the punch enters into the work material to cause rupture to take place is called penetrable and is usually given as the %age of the...

It has been a fun and busy weekend: Dance Guild and RA retreat!
I can honestly say this has been one of the busiest weekends I've had this semester. With everything that is going on, it is sometimes hard to keep up with the busyness of life! I want to address two things that happened this past weekend: Dance Guild and RA retreat!
Dance Guild
Dance Guild is student-led organization that sets up different types and levels of dances and has two show nights each semester. Different dances are performed each semester. Each genre of dances is led by a student choreographer. The student choreographers decide their songs and the way the dance will be presented on show nights. Dance Guild is the biggest student-led organization at Calvin. A few genres:
- Hip-Hop
- Contemporary
- Ballet
- '60s dance
- Funk
- Afrobeats
I was given the opportunity this semester to see Dance Guild through different eyes. In the past couple semesters, I usually see the show when I attend the event. This year, I was able to see the dances by being part of a couple of dances and see the show in a screen in the green room. I was able to be part of one of the dances and was given the opportunity to co-choreograph a dance (Guild CoEd Funk).
I was also part of the Latin Fitness group!
RA retreat :)
RA retreat was so much. My staff drove to a cottage for a whole day. My RD and RDA surprised us with a friendly competition by making gingerbread houses. There were two different teams. Each team was able to make their own version of a gingerbread house. It was so much fun. It was actually my first time making gingerbread houses with people. I never experienced it before and I am glad I did. But before we got to the house, we drove up to Meijer to get some ingredients for our brunch and the gingerbread house.
My team did a traditional version of a gingerbread house with color coordination. The other team got more creative. They have a dog and showed the inside of the house. When they brought out their gingerbread house, I thought my team lost! The end result of the winning team was the traditional gingerbread house (my team)!

homemade snacks that pack a crunch with kids
OUR little boy turned two a couple of months ago and over the weekend he brought a bag of lollies over to me, whilst we were shopping, and asked if he could get them.This came as a bit of a shock to me because he hasn't tried lollies, he has never seen us eat them and it's not something we ever buy.On this occasion, we were lucky that he quickly lost interest and put the lollies back on the shelf but it got me thinking about what lies ahead of us.As a schoolteacher, I often see parents drawn between buying popular packaged foods that they know their children will eat a michael kors outlet nd giving them healthy, wholesome snacks that will probably be thrown in the bin.Children and parents are constantly exposed to the marketing of unhealthy snack foods, claiming to be convenient, fun and 'wholesome'.What they fail to mention is that they are filled with refined ingredients, unnecessary fillers, hydrogenised soya fat (a dangerous transfat) and loads of refined sugar.If you are trying to move away from packaged foods or have a special occasion coming up where you want to serve some child friendly snacks, these healthier homemade rice puff bars are easy and taste great.In this recipe, I have used tahini to keep them nut free and school friendly but nut butters can also be used.Healthy, homemade snacks from Marinya Cottage Kitchen.Brown rice syrup or honey as well as dates are used to sweeten the bars and although it would be best to not have any sweeteners, this is a much healthier michael kors outlet alternative and is less likely to cause bad reactions or health problems.Healthier Homemade Rice Puff Bars (dairy and gluten free)4 cups brown rice puffscup medjool dates or dried dates that have been soaked in water for a few minutescup brown rice syrup or honeycup tahinicup coconut oil2 tablespoons of ground linseeds or Chia seeds (optional)1 teaspoon vanilla extract InstructionsPlace dates, rice michael kors outlet syrup, tahini and coconut oil in a food processor and blend until mixture becomes a smooth paste. Pour mixture into a small saucepan an michael kors outlet d heat until coconut oil melts and mixture becomes runny.Turn off heat and stir through brown rice puffs, seeds and vanilla extract.Press into a lined baking tray and place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until hard. Cut with a serrated knife and keep refrigerated in warm weatherCheck out more healthy, wholefood recipes at Marinya Cottage Kitchen. You can also check them out on Facebook.

My Konjac Sponge All Natural Fiber Baby Bath Sponge
A while ago I went on a konjac sponge kick. I tried out about 4-5 different types of konjac sponges!
In my review for the My Konjac Facial Sponge I mentioned I had kids. The company saw this and gave me the opportunity to try out their My Konjac Sponge for babies. I eagerly accepted their offer. I absolutely loved their facial sponge and could not wait to try their baby sponge.
I was really surprised when I got the sponge in the mail, its HUGE! I immediately used the sponge to bathe my kiddos that evening. I thought I had a picture of the sponge, but I think my 2 year old son or I accidentally deleted a few pictures on accident.
That evening when I bathed them, they were not dirty. It was just a relaxing bath before bed. Other than giving their hair a quick scrub, I did not see any point in cracking out the body wash. Especially when I had this amazing Konjac sponge!
I absolutely LOVE the sponge. It is so soft, I almost want steal it and use it for myself! haha! The sponge is great for sensitive skin and did an awesome job of cleaning my little ones.
Two thumbs up from this mommy!
You can buy this sponge here.Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the company My Konjac Sponge or any of My Konjac Sponge's employees. I received a My Konjac Baby Sponge solely for the purpose to properly give my opinion on the product. Other than the My Konjac Baby Sponge , I did not receive any compensation for this review. Even though I did receive the product for free, the details in this review are 100% my thoughts and opinions.

-1Disclaimer; I don't own Naruto, duh.
Well I'm getting into these and people seem to like them so here you go, its another one. My newest song fic. If you haven't read the other ones I've got a Naruto X Hinata and a Neji X Hinata as well. I don't own I'm Already There by Lonestar.
Already There
Four years ago he, Uchiha Sasuke, Konoha's most eligible bachelor, got married. The women were heart broken, but who wouldn't be? Even some of the women in Sound were about ready to kill, and he had been gone from there for almost six years. Alas though life goes on and so off on yet another mission he went, only this one was to be long lasting. Three weeks. The longest he had been away from home in a long time was two days.
So here he was, Sasuke Uchiha, age twenty-one only three nights into his mission, and calling home. Calling for his Hinata.
He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room,
Just to here her say I love you one more time.
She answered the phone and he could here the smile in her voice. "Hinata."
The relief in her voice was evident as she said "Sasuke, koi."
And when he heard the sound,
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye.
He smiled a watery grin and pressed the back of his hand to his mouth. His eyes were shut tightly when he heard a new voice on the other end.
A little voice came on the phone
He said daddy when you coming home?
He said the first thing that came to his mind.
"I'm already there. Take a look around, I'm the sunshine in your hair. I'm the shadow on the ground. I'm the whisper in the wind. I'm your imaginary friend. And I know, I'm in your prayers. Oh I'm already there." He pressed his lips together and smiled softly as the voice once again changed.
She got back on the phone
"She said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright."
He heard the door open and close but paid it no heed. He was too intent on his wife's voice.
"Wish I was in your arms,
Laying right there beside you.
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight.
And I'll gently kiss your lips.
Touch you with my finger tips.
So turn out the light and close your eyes."
Sasuke had a nostalgic look on his face as she continued to speak the sweet words that he had so longed to hear.
"I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart.
I'm the moon light shinning down.
I'm the whisper in the wind.
And I'll be there till the end.
Can you feel, the love that we share?
Oh I'm already there.
We may be a thousand miles apart,
But I'll be with you,
Wherever you are."
Sasuke couldn't help but to reply. "I'm already there. Take a look around, I'm the sunshine in your hair. I'm the shadow on the ground. I'm the whisper in the wind. And I'll be there till the end. Can you feel, the love that we share? Oh I'm already there. Oh I'm already there."
He smiled as they said their goodbyes and hung up, before turning to his partner. "Did you need something?" He asked the man leaning against the door.
"Your getting soft." Was the only reply he received.
"Whatever Neji." He rolled his eyes and grabbed his head band off the side table so they could leave.
Okay so I hope you like it and please review! It makes me feel wonderful when you do and gives me a grain of hope in this desert of black sand.
Your fairly fucked up authoress, Kuro Tenka.

The Truth About Mind Movies 2.0
Today is the day you can get your Mind Movies 2.0
Creation Kit at 11 a.m. Pacific, right here:
But here's the truth:
With everybody and their dog peddling this one, you
may NOT be getting all the facts. So here's my honest
take on this program and what it can do for you:
OK, first of all…
The new version of the software *is* easy as pie to
use. You "copy and paste" a few times, click a few mouse
buttons and hey presto, you have very own mind movie, and
here's the thing …
It's tailored EXACTLY to what you truly want to attract in
your life: better health, abundant wealth, more fulfilling
In a word – Yes.
I don't need to tell you the power of "feeling-based-
visualization" to manifest your desires. We've all seen
the Secret and know the power of this stuff… but here's
the thing with Mind Movies 2.0.
The new version just makes the whole process MUCH easier
to do. They give you loads of images, affirmations and
music to choose from, and you can add your own too. You
literally just 'point and click' a few times and you have
your new mind movie done in *a few minutes*.
It can be difficult to get your mind to focus on what
you want, *consistently* and every day. With your own
mind movie, it's as easy as hitting the PLAY button.
Imagine what you'll be able to attract in the coming
months with that kind of consistency!
This is a powerful, fun tool you can use to help you
focus your intentions and attract whatever you truly
desire. And it's dead easy to use … even a 4-year old
techno-phobe can do it 🙂
I highly recommend you get this right away, while it's
still available. Full details and get your copy here:
Here's to fun, masterful manifesting!
Matt Clarkson
The Mind-Body Training Company
P.S. My friends at Mind Movies are only able to offer
the incredible Mind Movies 2.0 software at the hugely
discounted price with all the extras to the first few
thousand people that make it through the doors today.
And I hear they're expecting over 200'000!
Full details and get your copy here:
P.P.S. Since there are over 200,000 people hammering at
the gates, you might have some trouble getting through

you have to wait a few hours to get through.

Girl, 9, Hit By Truck In Harrisburg Dies
Girl, 9, Hit By Truck In Harrisburg Dies
HARRISBURG, Pa. —
A 9-year-old girl who was hit by a pickup truck in Harrisburg on Thursday has died.

She died about 2:30 a.m. Friday at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.
"We're doing as well as expected, as could be," said Luwanna Spells, the aunt of the victim. "My brother is not well, my brother's daughter. We're trying to figure things out right now, what his next steps are. It's devastating."
Anyone with information is asked to call Officer Kenneth Young at 717-255-3044 or Cpl. Raymond Lyda at 717-255-3123.

The right accessories make any outfit cooler. Here are some quick tips for accessorizing:
Avoid a Monotone Color Pallette
It's tempting to stick with safe colors, but a blue shirt with a blue tie and a blue pocket square just looks boring. Accessories should complement your shirt and suit colors, but they should also add some cool to your outfit.
Consider this striped tie from Lands End. It has a navy base, but the stripes of red and gold add an eye-catching splash of color without being too bold. The textured surface of the tie will also stand out nicely against your shirt. This houndstooth tie from J. Crew is more muted in color, but has a distinguishing pattern and texture.
Pocket squares are a great way to incorporate bright colors and bold patterns into an outfit. They show such a small amount of fabric that they're always eye-catching without being an eyesore. This bright paisley pocket square from Black Brown 1826 will add zest to any suit without overpowering the rest of your outfit. Pair it with a blue or purple tie.
Yes, Your Belt and Shoes Should Match...ish
But that doesn't mean they have to be the same color. Gone are the days when wearing a black belt restricted you to black shoes. This black Italian leather belt from Paul Frederick would pair well with a pair of sleek oxblood dress shoes or dark gray boots.
The right belt will act as a great focal point for your outfit while enhancing your other accessories. For a pop of color and texture, try this cognac belt from Bonobos or this wine-colored belt from Paul Frederick. Both would look great with either brown or black shoes.
Invest in a Nice Watch
Sure, that rubbery digital watch that you bought on sale four years ago gets the job done, but it tends to detract from a professional look. Have a grown-up watch option. Now is a great time to take advantage of holiday sales (or just add it to your Christmas list). This silver chronograph watch from Nautica is sporty yet sleek, great for the office or a weekend dinner. Blue and Cream's Classic Timepiece watch is flashy yet sophisticated, if you're looking for a more eye-catching addition to your professional wardrobe.

Research Assistantships
A research assistantship is a paid position offered by professors who could use the support of an undergraduate student to further their research. Professors add a dedicated member to their research team and students gain authentic exposure to research in an area of interest.
These term positions often take place during the spring and summer months. In addition to being involved in research directly, some students may also go on to co-author a manuscript or paper, create a poster and showcase it in a symposium, or give presentations. Some student research positions are listed through University of Saskatchewan's CareerLink.

Support to the Information Management, Communication and Planning Capacity in Addressing the Migration Management Challenges in Serbia
As of mid-2015 until the beginning of March 2016, when the so-called Balkan route was formally closed, more than 700,000 migrants passed through the Republic of Serbia on their way to the countries of Western Europe. Unlike the period before the closure of the Balkan route, migrants now have been staying in Serbia for a longer period of time, in some cases longer than a year. In January 2017 there are some 4,000 migrants accommodated in 18 asylum and reception centres. Such a situation requires a different response of institutions dealing with migration management, as well as international and non-governmental actors. In this regard, the mission of the project is to assist the Government of the Republic of Serbia to respond to dynamic challenges of the migration management.

To begin, the course syllabus will be reviewed with the student to establish the particular areas in which the student is struggling. Upon identifying the areas of difficulty, the material will be discussed with the student and explained using methods that are suitable to their learning style, whether it be visual, using mnemonics, analogies etc.
As a current Advanced Higher student I am familiar with the current National 5 and Higher Chemistry/Maths qualification structures. I am able to use my own personal experiences and familiarity with the course content in order to create the most effective lesson plans.
I'm an engineering student at the university of Aberdeen seeking for a challenging career in a progressive organization where I can acquire current and relevant knowledge and develop effective skills to maximize individual and organizational productivity. By helping other student I'm also helping myself to recall previous knowledge.
In initial lessons I will monitor you and how you methodically solve problems in order to discover your problem areas and develop plans on how to improve how you learn. As a tutor I am here to help you to achieve your goals, wether that be improving in class or aiming to pass your final exams to get into college/ university.
My teaching method is combining the idea of 'practice makes perfect' with a fun approach that keeps my students interested and keen to learn more.
I am a current student at University of Aberdeen, I am French and therefore can teach in both English and French. I studied the International Baccalaureate (IB). I am most confident with teaching high school students (year 8-12). I prefer to teach around practising a lot as I believe this is the way to assimilate lessons.
I am a postgraduate student at the University of Aberdeen. Before I was graduated from Kazakh-British Technical University with honour degree. I have won regional and republic school competitions in mathematics. My technique and method of study are to explain more briefly and accurate. I can teach all topics of mathematics in secondary school and undergraduate level.
We should agree on teaching method with anyone separately. Different people needs different type of teaching.
I'm a student from the U.S. studying at the University of Aberdeen working towards my BSc degree in physics. I personally have always required a deeper understanding of academic material in order to truly succeed in my studies.
-I'm currently a student at UofAberdeen in Physical Science. I had private sessions with 2 master students helping them with their MSc courses as well as helping a higher math student getting through her Higher Math exam over last year. I provide various tutoring service from doubt clearing sessions to teaching the entire syllabus in depth.
- I teach GCSE and A-Levels (Maths, Economics & Physics) - During my years of studies, i have spotted trends within examination questions that have been repeated since, as well as, I've derived a method that has taught me specified subjects in an efficient manner to not waste time. -I aim to teach the student in a way where he/she will not require a tutor again, including myself.
My lessons are for any student right from primary 1 up to university level. For the younger students I prefer to use visual aids thus making the problems more practical so that the student can get a better understanding of the problem and how to solve it . As for the older students, I make emphasis on practicing questions and drawing diagrams.
I have been trained by the most inspiring science tutors and this has greatly motivated me to help others understand seemingly tough science concepts in a creative manner that suits the student's learning ability. My tutoring approach is to understand my student, emphasize on his or her strengths and patiently work on weaknesses.
I am a second-year Petroleum Engineering student at the University of Aberdeen. I teach pupils below university level and help them achieve or develop their understanding of maths. I build around my students' weak spots to solidify and develop their understanding, and do this with exercises, explanations, demonstrations and animations.
I teach students from school and high school to prepare for their Nat5 and A-level exams. I adapt my teaching technique to every student to make sure they understand and follow what I'm explaining. I can either set my own structure for the lessons or follow the structure set by their school so that they don't get confused.
I base my classes on student needs and try to use the expeditionary learning method to help understand some difficult aspects. I believe working on questions is really important for understanding the science, and have my own techniques for remembering harder content.
Can tutor higher maths. Prefer to be shown which specific areas are needing worked on beforehand to prepare in advance.
My teaching method is a combination of audio and visual, ensuring that lessons are planned based on students best method of assimilation. I am patient with my students and concentrate efforts to ensure that areas of weakness becomes strength.
I am a creative teacher & love giving real life examples to make mathematics a fun loving and easy to learn subject. Being a postgraduate student, I have studied Chemistry and Math to a good level and I love to impart the basics to primary, secondary and undergraduate students. Methods of instruction can be through lectures, presentations or video calls.
My name is Arthur. I'm from Thailand, one of the most intense education system in the world. I'm 23 years old. I have had experienced being math tutor for 3-4 years.
I give lessons based on what the student needs and for that I like to have them understand in a visual and computational way the tool they want to use for an exercise. It is like I am showing the paths and the follow each path until they find the right one.
Ever since I was a young girl, I knew maths and science were my favourite subjects in school. I always loved to solve puzzles and I knew maths was just one huge puzzle where each piece connected to the next. As the years in school passed, I knew that maths would get harder and the teachers would soon be unable to help every single student out.
When teaching I like to find out what area you are having difficulty with and start from there, I find that giving lots of examples and explaining how to solve them help a lot when learning maths
I find that practice in exam techniques invariably helps to rapidly improve grades. I am able to help my students to maximise their potential using targeted revision and exam techniques. I am considered to be patient and adaptable and many of my students come to me by recommendation.
I am a Chinese Student in the University of Aberdeen, and I would like to teach any courses about math since I have a good knowledge on mathematics. My teaching structure is quite easy, starting from easy formula to examples. Also, I will focus on the keywords in each class, as well as give students the summary of each class and review at the beginning of next class.
Hello student, I am Nicholas. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Petroleum Engineering with First Class Honours, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education. I am currently doing my MSc in Petroleum Engineering at University of Aberdeen. I provide tutoring service at GCE Advanced and Ordinary levels, as well as Science and Engineering Undergraduate level.
"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." - Albert Einstein. The above quotation was my inspiration to become a scientist. I base my lessons on training a student's mind to think and come up with solutions and beyond the idea of going to school and learning just facts.
I don't have a set method, I test my students to see how they learn best. Then I tailor the method that will work best for them.
My name is iquaibom iboro, i am a Petroleum Energy Economics and finance Masters graduate from the University of Aberdeen, currently requesting to give maths lessons to primary, secondary students. my speciality is in statistics, geometry and lots more.
PhD candidate in engineering, with experience in both one-on-one and class tutoring for maths, physics, chemistry and general engineering courses. I tutor secondary school students and also undergraduates. I deliver my tutorials by breaking down the complex into the simple. This is done by pinning relationships between what is being taught and what the student experiences in their everyday life.

Now wait for another BSOD. When it occurred, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. See if the crash dump is recorded or not (hopefully it will be recorded).Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Thank you for your continued support. I have dump files already enabled, so I don't know why it isn't being written. I followed the thread you posted, and changed the file to a complete dump file. Hopefully that will work.

Green Day Bass Player Mike Dirnt Comments on Band's Future
Green Day bass player Mike Dirnt says the band are "going to pull through," despite frontman Billie Joe Armstrong being in rehab
Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong is currently in rehab for substance abuse, but bass player Mike Dirnt is assuring fans that the band is far from over. According to Dirnt, the guys of Green Day plan to get back to the business of making music as soon as Armstrong is finished with his treatment.
"Billie doesn't take things lightly and he wouldn't take rehab lightly, either," Dirnt told U.K. magazine Kerrang! "He's in the middle of some really big things, but we're going to pull through. Green Day has never been a band that sits still, but sometimes you have to step back and let life go on rather than try to control everything."
Earlier this month, Green Day had to drop off their stint at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience on Oct. 27. While the guys, of course, weren't happy to cancel on the festival, Dirnt says that he and drummer Tré Cool were pleased to do whatever was needed to help Armstrong reach a full recovery, even if that means putting a nix to more gigs.
"I know that my friend's life is in danger and that's all I care about," he said. "We're brothers-in-arms waiting for Billie to return healthy, but we're not going to force anything. Tré and I will be standing here for Billie."

Malware Bytes is one of the most well-known malware and spyware removal products out there and in our opinion the best malware removal tool for everyday users. It is renowned for identifying and destroying infections other programs miss. The free version is great to use for cleaning up infections once they have occurred. The full version is definitely worth investing in , providing real-time protection it detects malware and spyware before it can infect your computer.

First-day-of-school pics are all the rage nowadays, especially on social media. DeAngelo Williams doesn't go to school anymore, but with the NFL regular season officially underway, he felt left out and wanted to participate.
So before practice Tuesday, he put together his own "First Day of School" photo, dressing in his best Superman T-shirt and holding up a chalkboard sign that introduced himself to the other kids.
Muscles and height notwithstanding, he looks every bit the part:
"Never imagine[d] I would get a chance to play 11 years in the NFL! So from now on I'm going to be the young old kid I know I am," Williams writes in his post.
Other critical first-day details: His favorite colors are blue and pink, his favorite food is popcorn, he's 33, and he wants to be a "Fantasy Football star" when he grows up.
That last one is entirely possible this season. Time to get to work.

The National is a seasonal restaurant and brasserie in Midtown with solid eats for all meals at prices that aren't cheap but aren't abusive.
It's rare that we back this type of restaurant, but The Lambs Club is Infatuation approved for Pre-Theater Eats and Corporate Card use in Midtown.

Driving myself slowly insane.
Essentially, conversation has always been a rather agonizing burden for me, especially because I don't react the same as others. You might think i'm just being socially awkward, but that is not the case. Normally, people expect certain facial features, a certain body language when talking to others, and I cannot replicate that due to a general lack of knowledge on how to react like that (See mental illnesses). I can come off as terrifying or creepy, and seeing as i'm relatively tall, it doesn't help that it adds to the intimidation effect, when I actually am quite a passive person. Now, to get to the point. If you've read the mental illnesses page, you know that i've recently broken up, albiet on relatively neutral terms, with a girlfriend. Said friend now has a busy schedule and rarely if ever even gives notice to the fact that I exist. Most would drop it by now, but i've recently wondered if there were actually feelings behind aforementioned person's introverted husk. I'd love to get into contact with her once more to at least get an overall damage report as to what exactly I came off as (hopefully not terrifying), but it seems that attempting to make conversation with her might make the situation worse. Now, here's what's truly driving me insane. I'd love to know, to set things right with aforementioned person by at least giving a brief rundown of why I act as I do, but I likely would never get to talk with her, despite having her number. To end, it's the silence that kills me.

Re: Driving myself slowly insane.
Did you ask her if she has time for you from at least an hour or so? I mean you said she has a busy schedule but did you ask about a lil time or not?
Would it be helpful to write all you want to tell her down...and send her an email? Sometimes it's way easier to do it that way. It's probably easier for her to read in quiet all you want to explain to her and think about it afterwards. You could offer her in that said mail to meet her and talk once more in person.
Still you have to realise that maybe she isn't interested in going through this. The end of a relationship is different for everyone and you also have to respect her way of getting over it. If that means not talking with you anymore you cannot do anything about that I'm afraid. Pushing her to talk about feelings that might or might not have been in a broken up relationship won't do anyone of you any good.
So as I said you can try to write to her if she isn't available to talk but never push too much cuz it will only end in way more hurt feelings on both sides.

On Wednesday night there was another low buy-in tournament ($130) called Triple Stacks which eventually got about 200 runners.
I would rather not play this late, but it was more my type of event due to having so many starting chips (although the blinds did increase rapidly).
I felt Michael and Glenn both had a distinct advantage in this tournament, as well. We decided to back Michael.
This first hour was so completely different from Tuesday. Instead of doubling up, I literally never won a hand before the break! Every time I made a move, someone made a bigger move. Since so many hands were either shown down or the uncalled winner loved to show his hand, I found that I was behind almost every time. I had AQo three times and was beat either pre or post-flop. Once even by Michael!
During this first hour, since I was folding all of the time, I got to know some of the other players at our table. One of them started flirting mildly and I was able to find out things about him as well as probe his psyche. For whatever reason he decided he hated Michael. He always had something cutting to say about Michael and his play.
He also said a few little things about how tight I was. Once I started raking pots, I thought to myself: 'Keep underestimating me, buddy, while I slowly take your chips.'
One of my strengths in poker is encouraging players to dismiss me as their competition. I want them to think I'm a rock, especially when I need chips desperately and have been able to steal from them by either raising their blinds or going all-in over the top of their raises without even looking at my cards. Yes, I'm typically very tight, but I realize my need to stay ahead of the antes and blinds, so I will often shove all-in when a thinking player raises and I know he is capable of laying down his hand.
After our table got broken I found myself with much more room to maneuver. I don't think I was short stacked again until the final table.
For whatever reason the players just seemed easy to read and the tourney was soft. Unfortunately it was also very long. Gone was the turbo structure of earlier. The blind levels lengthened to 20 minutes and were gently increased. This turned out to be a killer because all of us were so tired (Glenn, Michael and me). I was still playing at 3:30am, something I won't do again after little sleep the night before.
This time the bubble was easier to beat. Glenn and Michael were sweating my play. Glenn got virtually blinded out, having no premium hands and not many steal possibilities at his table. Michael went out when his AKs met JJ.
When we got to the final table I was short, but not desperate yet (288k). I did become the shortest stack quickly, but was able to double through. Then a play came up that was advanced for that buy-in.
The chip lead was to my direct left. A new player who was still trying to limp with raising hands came into the pot. It was passed to me in the SB. I knew for certain that the BB chip lead would put pressure on us by going all-in or raising pre-flop, since both the limper and I were short stacked. So it worked out perfectly. I had ATo and would normally shove, but I knew that if I only limped the BB would make his move and hopefully force the limper out of the pot, whom I suspected had the best pre-flop hand.
Sure enough, as soon as I limped the BB shoved. The limper mulled and decided to fold his pocket nines! Naturally I snap called the all-in when it got back to me. The chip lead had KJo and my hand held up. Since I had doubled through him twice, I was no longer a short stack.
Things went round and round for a long time. Not many players busted out, but we did lose one here and there.
When we were down to six, I made an ill timed steal attempt with AJo. The big blind didn't have many less chips than me, so he made a crying call with 22, claiming it was time for one of us to go home since it was so late at night. His hand held and now I was severely short stacked.
I expected to be the next to bust, but instead two other stacks got into a war and one of of them was eliminated when I barely had even more than one big blind.
In my big blind I had K7s and was all-in versus the chip lead with A6o. His hand held and I picked up a 5th place finish.
Two-for-two and just like that I have found a place in the poker world again.
Next time I will talk about our experiences at the WSOP lammer regional game and my future on the circuit.

Friday, October 20 – Registration 5:30-6:30 pm, Evening Session 6:30-8:30 pm
Saturday, October 21 – 8:30 am – 3:00 pm, Includes praise and worship music, testimonies, and two break-out sessions. (A catered boxed lunch is available. See registration form.)
Simply Free is a powerful weekend of praise and celebration! It's a time to set aside life's routine and bask in the goodness of God and his power to transform, heal, and restore. ALL are invited!
Simply Free is not a concert or a seminar. It is an experience. It's a FREE conference of healing and hope. A collection of stories, testimonies of recovery and restoration by plain, everyday people just like you and me. It is interwoven by teaching and punctuated by praise but it is really an invitation to stand in the presence of God and become Simply Free. Surrounded by praise and prayer, these testimonies of deliverance from addictions, depression, anxiety, and brokenness inspire us to believe.
Born out of a vision that God gave Doris Courtney, Simply Free has been a miracle weekend for many over the past few years. Men and women come from all over, but especially from Middle Tennessee, to experience the power of God exhibited in the lives of others. You can expect incredible worship music, insightful break-out sessions, powerful speakers, and the fellowship of hundreds of believers from all over who have gathered to experience the anointing of God.

Yesterday we started talking about the list of homophobes from Ohio who contributed money to help pass the gay marriage ban in California.
Blogger Interrupted has already exposed the guy who works at NASA (Bradley Baker) and the certified diversity contractor (Lucinda Noel).
Peter Potente is up next.
Peter Potente is the owner of a plastics company in Dayton called Plastic Products, Ltd.
He's a member of the Dayton Chamber of Commerce.
Oh, and he's a homophobe.
Two years ago he made a couple of contributions to Ken Blackwell – Ohio's leading homophobe – during Ken's failed run for Governor.
This year Peter decided to skip the political contributions and donate his money directly to an organization that hates gays as much as he seems to: the national organization for marriage.
It turns out Peter is not just a single-issue guy.
Judging by this comment on the Montgomery County GOP blog he also seems to have signed on to the anti-union, pro-school voucher and muslim-hating aspects right wing nuttery:
"political correctness dictates that God is taken out of the classroom with a threat from the ACLU and (for recent example in another public school system) replaced with mandatory field trips to the local mosque (with headscarves for the girls to boot)"
You've just been upgraded Peter. From a simple homophobe to a full-fledged wing nut. Congrats!

No entries for a while, mainly I'm afraid due to the fact that I haven't been bothered.
On the work front, my clients have had a massive drop in their budget which has resulted both in a cull of employees and the early termination of many consultants' contracts - they have been very secretive about the exact numbers so I would guess that they are sufficiently large to make people think, "Goodness, I didn't realise it was that many."
Fortunately they feel they need my company's services still. Overall this is good news, I suppose, although they did take the opportunity to renegotiate the rate we charge - downwards of course. In the current climate, they obviously feel they can get away with it. It was really quite nice to be told that our services were considered critical, though of course this comment needs to be taken with a pinch of salt - we'll see how critical our services are in three months' time if the slide continues. I mainly deal with middle-managers at the clients, and I do get the feeling that they are quite genuinely distressed by all of this. Clearly there is the personal aspect of their own little empires diminishing but I think there is more to it than this. Not least they must have doubts about their own safety.
Haven't really been up to much else. We did go over to Tower Park in Poole a couple of weekends ago, and had an excellent game of bowling, the first time in a long time. Alice in particular enjoyed it, I guess since it was so out-of-the-ordinary for her. Quite expensive, I thought, though. Alice ticked me off for getting too upset at my poor shots (I played the first game really well, with one of my highest scores, but deteriorated badly in the second.
Last weekend the weather was absolutely awful - the temperature hovered just a couple of degrees above zero and so we just had grey with rain on both days. To celebrate this we had some fun on the Wii - the Mario Karting was particularly enjoyable, though I don't think Jacqueline really "got it"!
As we found when Barney died, Maisie has become more friendly now that she has the house to herself once again. She's always been a tiny thing and I guess Carlo kinda dominated things. We have decided not to have any more cats, though maybe to think about a dog as and when Maisie pops her clogs (which we hope will be many years into the future). Although we are all cat-lovers, it just seems sheer irresponsible to bring a cat into such a dangerous environment as where we live. It is ironic that my mum lives in a big city and has had two cats since I was a child, both of which have lived to a ripe old age (one of which is still going aged 16 now, I think), whereas we live in the middle of nowhere in what at first sight would be paradise for a cat. Needless to say Carlo's loss is still painful, especially for Alice, but we buried him and planted some bulbs over his grave, a small token. Things will get better over time of course but it is scant comfort to talk about this right now.
Apart from that, working hard for the taxman at the moment. Got an old bill to pay and another one in February. Whoopee!
