R.E.M., one of the most critically honored rock bands in America, had its roots deep in the red Georgia clay. The group's rise from the college rock scene to international fame was long and steady. Formed in Athens in 1980, R.E.M. became one of the most commercially successful of the 1980s alternative rock bands. Despite this success the band maintained a reputation for hard work and an independent, no-compromise approach to its music.
The Early Years
In University of Georgia (UGA), befriended Peter Buck, an Emory University dropout who worked at the Wuxtry record store in Athens. At a party the pair met Mike Mills and Bill Berry, friends from Macon, who were also students at UGA. Around March 1980 the four formed R.E.M. and began rehearsing in an abandoned Episcopal church, with Stipe handling vocals, Buck on guitar, Mills on bass, and Berry on drums. By the summer of 1980 R.E.M. was playing shows in Athens at Tyrone's and the 40 Watt Club. Their single "Radio Free Europe" met with critical acclaim in 1981; Village Voice named it one of America's best-ever singles, and the New York Times placed it among the top ten singles of the year.Chronic Town,
Rise to Fame
After fulfilling its contract with I.R.S., R.E.M. signed a five-record contract with Warner Brothers for $10 million, a hefty sum for a band identified with the college rock movement. R.E.M.'s first album for Warner Brothers was Green (1988), which the band members called their most positive work thus far. This album garnered ecstatic reviews, with some critics calling R.E.M. the best band in the world. Their next release was Out of Time (1991). While R.E.M. had spent the 1980s touring for each of its albums, the group chose not to do so for Out of Time. Nevertheless, the album became the first record by a rock group to top the Billboard charts in over a year, its success eclipsing even that of Green. Out of Time also became one of R.E.M.'s top-selling records and gave the band a smash hit, "Losing My Religion." The album garnered R.E.M. seven Grammy Award nominations; the group later picked up trophies in three categories. From college rock to the Grammys, R.E.M. had finally become genuine national celebrities.
The Mature Work
Despite the level of success R.E.M. had reached, Berry decided to leave the band in 1997, explaining that he "was ready to do something else." In the wake of Berry's departure, R.E.M. released the fragile, quiet Up in 1998. Up harkened back to Automatic's introspection and offered, in lieu of drummer Berry's work, guest drummers, drum machines, and tape loops.
The band released Reveal in 2001 and Around the Sun in 2004. In 2006 R.E.M. was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, and the following year the band was selected for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The band released Accelerate in 2008 and its final album, Collapse into Now, in 2011. In September 2011 R.E.M. announced that it had "decided to call it a day as a band." At the time it disbanded, the group had sold more than 70 million records, cementing its reputation as one of the most successful bands in American history.

Assannagar Madan Mohan Tarkalankar College was established in the year 2007 with permission of the W.B.C.H.E' and is affiliated to the University of Kalyani. It started its first session with pass course in Humanities. However in the very next session honors course in Bengali and History were started. In 2009 honours courses in English and Sanskrit were introduced and in pass course Education and Philosophy were also introduced. The college has a department of Physical Education as well.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
On July 28th we are going to celebrate the eighth Foundation Day of the college. In this short span of time, we have been able to build the college as a centre for higher studies. the rural people in the periphery of the college have been benefitted a lot from this institute since the college with its modest fees and other expenses proved attractive to the people. Although our college cannot boast of a large building or other amenities that are found in neighbouring college, it is proud of its dedicated teaching faculty and office staff. With a dedication, the employees of the college have been successful in establishing its reputation as a well-performing institute among the colleges affiliated to the University of Kalyani. The performance of the college in the various University Examinations has been commendable since its inception although it is a fact that we do not get the best of the talents as our students. It is due to the tireless work on part of the teaching community of this college, we have been able to achieve something out of nothing.

While watching a nature documentary on television, Michael and his fiancée, Jill, learned that zebra mates are inseparable. The San Antonio, Texas, couple, who were planning a wedding in Tuscany, became fascinated by the animals' steadfast partnership. They wanted that natural imagery expressed in their wedding rings, so they turned to jewelry designer Steven Kretchmer. On the inside of each of Kretchmer's matching platinum and 24-karat bands, two highly detailed zebras face a heart with moons, stars, and diamonds in the background. "These rings are not about status or wealth," says Kretchmer. "They are lasting expressions of love, romance, and passion."
Kretchmer's Hidden Treasure collection gives romantic couples a precious and private way to express their personalized messages and symbols on the inside of custom-made wedding bands. Kretchmer's wife's ring, for example, depicts a fire-breathing dragon for strength, and palm trees and the moon for serenity. "Some women wear fancy lingerie that nobody sees, but they enjoy the feel of it against their skin," explains Kretchmer. "My rings are similar. The artistry on the inside of the band is for the wearer's eyes only."
Innovative and artistic wedding bands that reflect personal style, creativity, and romantic notions emphasize individualism over brand-name status. For the self-assured couple who wants to express a unique sense of style in their wedding rings, these bands are welcome alternatives to traditional styles. Certainly, a symbolic piece of jewelry that is intended to be worn every day for the rest of your life deserves a little thought and imagination.
Inventive jewelers are engineering modern gold and platinum designs that have a high-tech image. Other resourceful designers have revived age-old metalsmithing techniques to create artistic rings with historical roots. Some daring jewelers are turning to unorthodox materials such as chrome and steel combined with traditional gold and diamonds to forge striking wedding bands with an industrial edge.
"Men particularly enjoy knowing about the technical processes of how these rings are made," says designer Michael Bondanza. "They prefer a heavy, substantial ring with distinctive qualities, whether it be subtle or something more gutsy. And matching bands are not as important as they once were. Brides and grooms are buying what they like." His Discovery rings are platinum bands with 24-karat gold inlays and randomly placed sapphires, rubies, and diamonds. "Each ring is a unique abstract design," says Bondanza, who is also a sculptor and painter.
"Unique wedding bands appeal to confident men or women who are secure with their own style and artistic tastes," says Patricia Faber, owner of Aaron Faber Gallery in New York. She represents an eclectic mix of international designers known for their artistic and, at times, avant-garde jewelry. "Men with careers in technology or design, such as architecture, are especially drawn to artistic rings," adds Faber. "It is often the only piece of jewelry they will wear."
German designer Christian Bauer is a perennial favorite among men in the technology field, says Faber. His brushed platinum and 18-karat gold hinged rings are connected with rivets, giving them a subtle engineered look.
Also working in this industrial vein is designer William Richey, a self-taught jeweler who was trained as a sculptor. Richey hand-fabricates brushed metal rings, starting with a simple sheet of platinum or a roll of platinum wire. His distinctly masculine rings are inspired by the sleek, geometric architecture found in New York City buildings. "The molding on a door frame, columns on a building, or even the architecture within the Jacob Javits Convention Center all feed my design sensibility," he says.
For those who are drawn to the historical legacy of ancient artistry, British designer Stephen Webster has revived the Damascene technique. This labor-intensive pattern-welding process dates to 100 B.C. and is commonly seen in decorative swords and knives from the Iron Age through the Viking age. The designer starts by deeply engraving patterns into bands of steel that are cut from gun barrels, then he inlays 24-karat gold into the pattern and fits the inside of the ring with a luxurious gold lining. The ring is then hammered, filed, and sanded for a smooth, almost rustic black steel finish that contrasts with the warm 24-karat gold.
"Guys think it's cool that the ring is actually made from slices of gun barrel metal," says Webster. "Damascene creates a manly and strong image, but it is a very complicated process." As a result, the rings are made to order, and there is a minimum wait of three months.
The ancient Japanese art of metalwork known as Mokumé attracted the interest of designer George Sawyer. The technique of folding metals into a complicated wood-grain pattern was developed over 1,000 years ago by Japanese swordsmiths. "It is a ritual technique that is done in a ceremonial manner and passed on within sword-making families," explains Sawyer, who is one of only a few Americans who have mastered Mokumé. Sawyer uses a wide range of gold tones, copper, silver, and other metal alloys to "paint" patterns, which are then hammered into a series of spirals. The metal is forged into a rectangular block that is cut into slices so that couples can have rings that mirror each other. "This is not just a ring," says Sawyer. "It's metalwork with a soul."
Technological developments that may have nothing to do with jewelry making can be inspiring for designers who think out of the box. "When I discover a new medium or tool, I try to adapt it to an artistic use," says designer Sarah Graham. She was recently drawn to black cobalt chrome, an alloy commonly used for pins in joint replacement surgery. The distinctive metal is hypoallergenic and especially durable, and is, perhaps, the only black metal that retains its strong matte color over time, she says. Graham combines the rustic black metal with gold for a positive-negative effect. "I love the contrast in both look and theory," she says. "It is unexpected and different."
Kretchmer's peers refer to him as a mad scientist, because he is constantly pioneering new metal treatments and techniques. His Moonbeam Bands, for example, require several days of tedious handwork, most of which he does himself. He starts with a platinum band that is carefully channeled out and inlaid with pure 24-karat gold, then he engraves and inlays platinum images of stars, moons, or planets. "You live and die wearing your wedding band," says Kretchmer. "It should be something meaningful, not just metal and stones."

Meredith Brooks Abbott studied under painters Douglass Parshall, Richard Meryman and Clarence Hinkle. Her paintings carry on the Early California Plein Air tradition while also conveying her own take on natural light in the Southern California landscape. Abbott prefers to paint outdoors allowing for the untainted qualities of her subject to be captured in quick, expressive brushstrokes. She is an advocate of environmental conservation and a founding member of the OAK group.
Born in California, Meredith Brooks Abbott is a longtime resident of Santa Barbara. She decided to pursue a career as an artist at a young age and spent her first year of college at Scripps College in Claremont, CA. When her father fell ill, she returned to Santa Barbara to care after him.
During these years, she studied under local artist Douglass Parshall (1899-1990). Through Parshall, she met and studied under Richard S. Meryman (1882-1963) and noted California Impressionist Clarence Hinkle (1880-1960). Hinkle maintained a studio on the Riviera modeled after the studio of French Impressionist Claude Monet. Abbott fondly remembers visiting Hinkle and painting alongside him at his home: "It was a beautiful studio—very pristine and tidy, and I painted while standing on a tarp that covered the floor. Opera music was always playing and Mrs. Hinkle would come down to serve us coffee. It was a very lovely situation" (Sloan 58).
She eventually returned to school and earned her degree from the Art Center School in Los Angeles. In 1962, she moved to New York City where she worked as an illustrator in the advertising field and took night classes at the Arts Students League. She would often spend her weekends traveling to visit Meryman's studio in Dublin, New Hampshire. There, she assisted the artist in completing portrait commissions. In 1970, she moved to San Francisco. There, she worked as an illustrator and began to exhibit her paintings in galleries. She frequently made trips to the pastoral Marin County where she enjoyed gathering inspiration from painting en plein air. While in San Francisco, she reunited with her childhood friend Duncan Abbott and the two were married. In 1974, they moved back south and settled on Duncan's avocado and lemon ranch in Carpinteria.
With more than 50 years of experience in her career as an artist, Meredith continues to create beautiful impressionistic still lifes, landscapes and portraits. She is a founding member of the OAK Group and holds memberships in the Santa Barbara Art Association and the California Art Club.

Written By Gradient Lair.
There are times when I am in public and even if a man isn't engaging in street harassment and in fact looks like Shemar Moore or something, wearing a t-shirt that reads "I Am A Feminist" while holding a bell hooks book, it isn't sufficient for me to want to talk to him. I don't care. I want to run my errands, photograph, visit the library or read in a park without being bothered. I rarely want to have conversations with…anybody.
When I feel like laughing, tossing around ideas or even debating, I use Twitter. When I want to talk to people in offline life, I talk to family and friends. Sure, there are times of quick hellos to strangers (which I never initiate). There are times (often) when whatever baby magnet spirit I have attracts babies to me and they try to talk to me and play with me. That's fine. I talk to them and play with them. (I really am a baby magnet. I don't get it. I'm fair game for any baby 6 months to 6 years old.)
But…for the most part, I want to navigate public space without harassment, without microaggressions and primarily without conversations. Every time I have to open my mouth without wanting to in the first place, I feel energy being zapped from my body. Every time conversation is directed at me when I am not interested in listening or replying to, I feel energy being zapped from my body.
I am an introvert. INTJ. (For those unfamiliar with MBTI andintroversion/extroversion, all introverts are NOT shy, not afraid of people or anti-social, nor does sending tweets change one's MBTI. American society does prefer extroversion and rewards people for being extroverts even when they have no other discernible talents and abilities, so most introverts are insulted or even shamed.) I'm not afraid of people, but I hate most in-person small talk. (An exception I make is for service people i.e cashiers. I am as friendly as I can be with them. Their jobs aren't easy.) I am not shy and I speak up for myself, make eye contact etc. I can tolerate tweets about meals online. I can't tolerate minutes of my time offline being used up by someone who's desperate for an audience for small talk. I prefer the physical company of no more than 1-2 people, and genuinely prefer alone time. I do use social media, as most introverts do. We can interact with many people, but by our own choice, in a room alone and turn it off when not interested. I recharge my energy and feel energized when alone, not around people.
I think there are additional challenges when a person is a Black introvert or a Black woman introvert.
1) People (including other Black people) already assume you're an extrovert because you're Black (even if by the characteristics of extroversion if they are unfamiliar with the terminology). Because Black communal gatherings are often expected, if not demanded (i.e religious ones in some circles), Black people expect other Black people to be there and enjoying it. During mixed or primarily White events, many Whites expect Black people to be "entertaining" and it's worse if those Whites are intoxicated. (I…don't like to be around drunk people.) For a Black introvert, the microaggressions and demand by Whites for extroverted behavior is doubly exhausting.
2) People assume Black introverts are just "uppity." Try working in a corporate environment and telling Whites that you aren't interested in going out drinking after work. Reject them twice. Three times. Everything from being perceived as purposely separating self from the company to possibly missing out on promotions or inside information (that they'll only share in after-work environments) to even being threatened of being fired, is a price to pay. And, if you do go, there's again, the expectation to be "entertaining" or the "Black coworker." (Check out Baratunde Thurston's hilarious and satirical book How To Be Black for more on this.) While still racially insulted, a Black extrovert maydo better in these horrible situations than a Black introvert. This is doubly physically draining for us. (I am not saying that microaggressions don't impact Black extroverts at all. They do. So does stereotype threat.)
Further, how do I explain to a Black man who's already entitled and think that I don't have an option to reject his advances or conversations that sometimes it's not even the sexism or male privilege deterring my responses, it's simply being a tired introvert and not interested in dispensing the energy needed to reply?
3) White privilege means that there's already an assumption of "service" where Black women are concerned. Whether it be at the library (I wrote about how random Whites expect me, not actual library employees, to assist their every need anytime I visit a library), at a store (and being mistaken for an employee or dealing with other microaggressions that often require a verbal response and subsequent loss of energy for an introvert), mistaken identity (i.e the corporate or school conversations that drained energy when I had to explain that no, I am not the help) or being expected to laugh on demand/indulge in pointless conversations with White women.
For example, I was in the elevator at a library. Two middle-aged White women were on it. A third one stood alone. They asked me "what floor," yet seem to be unable to figure out what button to press. I finally reached over to press the correct button myself. One made a joke (something about her pressing the button to send me to the basement) but I tuned out and went back to tweeting my Twitter buds. Then one replied "I see social media has reduced some people's social skills" with a snide tone. I continued to ignore them. Apparently, I was required to laugh at her joke and fawn over her every word. People who cannot operate an elevator but can make smart ass comments aren't the type of people I want to have conversations with anyway. Of course, they had nothing rude to say to the other White woman on the elevator.
Microaggressions tend to involve some sort of verbal, energy-reducing response on the minority's part. Not only am I navigating the space of White privilege and microaggressions, I'm doing this as an introvert, a person who is physically exhausted by stupidity, small talk, and unwanted conversations. At times, it's genuinely suffocating and I can't wait to get home where the proverbial armor that I feel like I'm wearing to navigate among Whites (microagressions), Black men (street harassment) and extroverts at large, can come off and I can breathe.
One of the reasons that I like social media is that from the superficial to the deep, I can have conversations how and when I want to, no one cries if I don't reply to every tweet and I can turn it OFF. Offline life interactions, conversations, harassment and microaggressions can't be turned off.
And so the Black (woman) introvert struggle continues…
[ I detect no lies. ]

Clinical Diabetes Technology Meeting 2007
The third annual Clinical Diabetes Technology Meeting was held in San Diego on April 20th and 21st, 2007. In attendance were hundreds of clinicians, scientists, and engineers from government, industry, academia, and clinical practice. During the two days of sessions, speakers shared information on a variety of topics, including many aspects of continuous glucose monitoring, the growing appreciation for the importance of minimizing glycemic variability, new drug therapies (GLP-1 agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors), the challenge of reimbursement, the importance of glucose control in the hospital setting, and MDI vs. pump therapy, just to name a few. Here is a summary of some of the sessions:
- Christopher Saudek, MD, presented The Impact of Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose on Glycemic Control. While self monitoring is a given for anyone with type 1 diabetes, there remains a debate in the medical and scientific community about the benefit of self monitoring by patients with type 2 diabetes. Given the enormous cost associated with self monitoring -- Medicare Part B spent $460 million on test strips in 2002 -- many payers are asking for data to support monitoring by patients with type 2 diabetes. Dr. Saudek presented data from several studies that showed reductions in HbA1c of as much as 0.4% in people with type 2 who are treated with only oral medications. Other studies hinted at benefits only in patients treated with insulin.
- Bruce Buckingham, MD, presented Continuous Glucose Monitoring Overview. Families who have attended a CWD conference have heard Dr. Buckingham present this excellent talk, which illustrated very well the benefit of continuous glucose sensing. One particularly important point that he made was that 75% of seizures in kids with type 1 diabetes happen at night, which argues very strongly for the importance of nighttime monitoring.
- William Clarke, MD, spoke about Glycemic Variability, a topic of considerable and growing interest among scientists and clinicians. Dr. Clarke noted the growing understanding of the potential role of high glycemic variability in the risk for complications. Dr. Clarke then examined several statistical ways to examine and report on glycemic variability from blood glucose data in an effort to make variability easier to discuss among clinicians and with patients. After reviewing several well known topics, Dr. Clarke focused on new statistical ways to quantify the concept of risk, both the risk for impending severe low blood sugar and the risk from glycemic variability.
- Howard Wolpert, MD, in a talk entitled Establishing a CGM Program, offered several excellent tips on how to teach patients to use continuous glucose monitors safely and effectively. Dr. Wolpert showed, for example, that relying only on sensor data can result in overtreating lows due to the physiological lag between finger stick data from blood and continuous sensor data from the interstitial space. He also cautioned about the potential for increased lows due to excessive correctly for elevated blood sugar and the importance of teaching insulin action to patients. He also offered advice on adjusting pre-meal insulin based on rate of change data from continuous sensors.
- Three speakers participated in a panel discussion about Reimbursement of CGM: Panel Discussion. Much of the presentation was somewhat technical, focusing on procedure codes and CMS. However, the take away for CWD families is that we should always submit claims for reimbursement for continuous glucose sensors to insurance companies to make sure that they are aware of the growing demand for the technology. Families should always appeal any denials also, which again demonstrates a growing demand for continuous sensing.
- David Sacks, MD, in a talk entitled Hemoglobin A1c and Mean Blood Glucose (MBG) To Diagnose and Manage Diabetes, taught about the history of the use of glycated hemoglobin as a tool in managing diabetes. For many years there was a wide variety in assays and as a consequence enormous variability from one lab to another, making direct comparisons of HbA1c in patients nearly impossible. With the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP), that has almost entirely changed, much for the better. Now, for almost all patients (99%), the HbA1c value that they receive from their diabetes team can be directly related to other HbA1c data, most importantly the HbA1c data from the DCCT.
- Michael Goldberg, MD, and Jeffrey Joseph, DO, each spoke about managing patients in the hospital setting. Drs. Goldberg and Joseph, both anaesthesiologists, stressed the growing awareness of the importance of tight glucose control in patients who are undergoing surgery. Controlling blood sugar levels in surgical patients has been shown to reduce complications such as post-operative infections and to reduce hosptial stays. While all of the data presented was based on adults, and much of it in adults with type 2 diabetes, parents of children with type 1 diabetes we face surgery should be sure that their child's diabetes is discussed and that they are confident that the entire surgical team will work to control blood sugar levels.
- In Insulin Pump Therapy: Case Studies, Stephen Gitelman, MD, and Howard Wolpert, MD, took turns presenting real clinical data from their patients -- Dr. Gitelman children and Dr. Wolpert adults. Based on a growing body of data from continuous sensing, it's clear that insulin analogs, while fast, are not fast enough and that bolusing before meals is an important strategy to prevent large post-meal glucose excursions. Dr. Wolpert presented a fascinating example of the impact of fat in a meal from an adult patient who ate pizza late at night. While the patient used the correct dosing strategy for pizza (about 70% up front with a two hour extended bolus), the fat in the meal caused insulin resistance overnight, resulting in a high morning blood sugar. The take away for pump users is to check often after high fat meals and to be prepared to increase basal rates temporarily if you experience this effect.
- Anne Peters, MD, spoke about GLP-1 Agonists, focusing on extenetide, known as Byetta. Dr. Peters eloquently explained how Byetta differs from other treatment options for diabetes, and why it is such an important new option for treating adults with type 2 and even type 1 diabetes in some cases. With science learning more about these gut hormones, treatment options are likely to include more than just insulin in type 1 diabetes and traditional oral medications in type 2 diabetes. Patients taking Byetta experience both reduced blood sugar levels but also lose weight -- sometimes significant amounts of weight.
- As part of a group of talks about managing obesity, Erik Dutson, MD, a bariatric surgeon, spoke about the dramatic improvements in type 2 diabetes seen in patients who undergo bariatric surgery. Dr. Dutson explained several different kinds of surgery for weight loss and noted that bariatric surgery is the only weight loss strategy that offers long term success. He also noted that the majority of his patients with type 2 diabetes who undergo bariatric surgery experience an almost immediate resolution of their diabetes and can stop taking their oral medications. He stressed that the reason for this is unknown.

No-Limit Hold'Em Poker Rules
Texas No-Limit Hold'Em (NLHE) has seen an explosion in popularity over the past decade for two simple reasons. First, the rules are easy to learn. Second, the betting structure of NLHE makes for some thrilling games, massive pots and huge winnings. To enjoy the latter, however, you first have to master the former. Every good poker player must have a thorough understanding of the rules of NLHE. Let's get started.
1. The Basics
Traditionally, NLHE is played with no more than ten players. One player is designated the Dealer (D) and given the dealer button ("the button").
The player to the left of the dealer is the "Small Blind" (SB).
The player to the left of the SB is the "Big Blind" (BB).
Have you ever wondered what people mean when they talk about playing a $1/$2 NLHE game? Well, those numbers simply refer to the stakes played. So in a $1/$2 NLHE game, the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2. They're referred to as blinds because the SB and BB have to put in the money before they've even seen their cards – they're putting in the money "blind". This ensures there's always some money in the pot to be won. It's all fair, because the buttons rotate clockwise every hand – everyone takes turns to be D, SB and BB!
These buttons are important because they determine the betting order.
⦁ Before the flop, the BB is last to act. The player to his left acts first.
⦁ After the flop, the SB is first to act – if he's still in the hand. If he's not, the player closest to the left of the SB acts first.
⦁ After the flop, D is always last to act. This gives him a massive advantage – he can find out what everyone else plans to do before he makes a move!
2. Hands
The objective of NLHE is incredibly simple – to make the best five-card hand from the available cards.
Every player gets dealt two cards. This is your starting hand, and these are cards only you can use. By the end of the game, there'll be five "community cards" on the table. These are cards everyone can use to make their five-card hand. Here's an example to illustrate. Say you have the following starting hand –
And your opponent has the following starting hand –
And the five community cards on the table are –
You can use one, both or none of the cards in your starting hand, in combination with the community cards, to make your final five-card hand. In our example, the best hand you can make from the seven cards available to you is three-of-a-kind. You have three threes (try saying that five times, really fast!)
Your opponent's best example is one pair. He has a pair of sixes.
Three of a kind beats one pair, so you win.
Read more about poker hands.
3. Flop, Turn and River
Of course, the five "community cards" aren't all dealt at once – NLHE would be a terribly boring game if that were the case. The community cards are actually dealt in three stages – the flop, turn and river. Let's use another example to illustrate this. As we're discussing the example, try to apply what we learned in Part 2 by asking yourself whether the flop, turn and river improve your hand respectively.
Let's say your starting hand is
The flop comes. During the flop, three community cards are dealt at once.
Has your hand improved?
Yes, it has! Before the flop, your best hand was 9-high. Now, you have a pair of 8s. Of course, this isn't the strongest hand out there. One of your opponents could have a pair of Jacks or a pair of Kings. But let's assume you get to the turn.
Now, the turn comes. The turn consists of a single card.
Has your hand improved?
Yes, it has! Before the turn, your best hand was one pair (a pair of eights). Now, you have two pair – a pair of eights, and a pair of Kings.
Now, the river – the final card – is dealt.
Has your hand improved?
Okay, that was something of a trick question. The answer is both yes and no.
In a technical sense, your hand has improved. Before the river, you had a pair of eights and a pair of Kings. Now, you have a pair of Kings and a pair of Jacks.
The problem is, because both Kings and both Jacks are among the community cards, everybody has a pair of Kings and a pair of Jacks. Anyone with a Jack beats you, because he has a full house – Jacks full of Kings. Anyone with a King beats you, because he has a full house – Kings full of Jacks. And anyone with a card higher than a 9 beats you, because he has a better kicker. In a relative sense, your hand is worth much less after the river, because your pair of eights is worthless – NLHE is only concerned with the best possible five card hand.
So you've not only learnt about the flop, the turn and the river. You've also picked up two essential pieces of advice –
⦁ The value of your hand can change dramatically as the cards are dealt. Pay attention to the flop, turn and the river, and always keep track of the strength of your hand.
⦁ Don't be obsessed with the absolute value of your hands. Consider also its relative value. Your hand may look like it's improved, but the important question is, has it improved relative to the hands that your opponents might have?
⦁ Betting, Calling and Folding
The final part of our lesson concerns the meat and potatoes of NLHE – betting, calling and folding. These are the three options open to you when it's your turn to play. We'll use one last example to illustrate the rules.
Let's say you're dealt the following hand in the Big Blind, in a $1/$2 NLHE game where each player has $200 stacks.
Rejoice! You've just been dealt the best starting hand in poker – Pocket Aces.
As you will recall from Part 1, before the flop, the Big Blind is last to act. The player to the left of the Big Blind is first to act. The spotlight's on him – so we say he is "under the gun". Let's say the player under the gun ("UTG") bets $6. Everyone else folds.
It's your turn. You can bet, call or fold. Let's look at each of these options –
⦁ Folding. This means you give up, and UTG wins. This is a silly option right now. You have the best possible hand – no way you are folding.
⦁ Calling. This means you match the previous bet and put in a further $6. Once all players have called, the flop is dealt.
⦁ Raising. This means you put in even more money. In NLHE, the minimum raise is the size of the previous bet – so in this case, the minimum raise is to $12. In NLHE, there are no maximum bets – the maximum bet is your entire stack. That's why NLHE is so exciting!
You have a great hand, so you're going to raise. You raise to $18.
UTG raises to $50.
Now you know UTG has a good hand. Your heart is racing. Do you call and see the flop, or do you raise? You decide the aggressive play is better, and you raise him all in. UTG has already put in $50, so it'll cost him $150 more to call. He folds. You've won $51 (UTG's $50 bet + the $1 SB).
Now you know how to play NLHE. You've taken the first step towards big winnings and a glittering poker career. It's time to hit the tables – but first, arm yourself with some of our poker strategies and discover how you can use the rules you've learnt today to your advantage!

1951 Rudge Roadster Superbe
After Raleigh bought the Rudge brand in 1943 they continued to produce the bikes with the same Rudge frame design and with the Rudge badge. These were Raleigh's flagship 3-speeds of the time and were available as an upgraded 'Sports' model or the top of the range 'Superbe' model with upgraded Brooks saddle, locking fork and Dynohub generators built into the hub.
Raleigh 3-speeds of this time were available in 3 colours; black, dark metallic green and a metallic brown or 'coffee'. Most of the similar bikes that I have seen have been painted black, as had this one until I started scratching away the black paint to reveal the 'coffee' underneath.
Elswick-Hopper Range Rider
TI-Raleigh Racing Bike
I really don't know much about this bike at all. Going by the serial number it looks to be early 1970s maybe late 60s. It's in pretty good condition. As I learn more about it, I'll update the blog.
TI-Raleigh Racing Bike
I bought this bike from a guy who buys interesting things amongst other things. This caught his eye as it did mine when I saw it on Ebay. The sticker on the frame says it's a Ti-Raleigh. Tube Investments was acquired by Raleigh in 1960 and the TI-Raleigh racing team was a Belgian team. However the bikes were red so I'm really not sure. The frame number does not seem to fit any of the systems used by Raleigh between 1950 - 1980 so I'm stumped! However, with interesting and what seem like high quality components, I'm looking forward to getting this one on the road.

Archbishop prays at Truro Cathedral
The new Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby was in Cornwall today, just four days before his enthronement. The main focus was what he called 'a journey of prayer' in Truro Cathedral, one of five cathedrals he has visited since his appointment.
He said it was important for the church to focus on issues which affected people in everyday life ,particularly those less well-off - even if it brought it into conflict with the Government. Watch our Cornwall correspondent Steve Hardy's report.

Interest, Social Security to Eat Up Increasing Share of U.S. Budget
The government likely faces rising costs to fund the national debt that will likely "crowd out" a lot of its ability to spend on military and social programs in coming years, a new report from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget warns.
The group, which bills itself as a nonpartisan budget watchdog, weighed in just ahead of a Federal Reserve policy meeting at which officials could take the first in a series of steps that will likely lead to higher borrowing costs in the future. At the heart of the report is the notion that after a long stretch of rock-bottom borrowing costs, rates will almost certainly rise over time. Annual deficits and the total national debt, which are cheap to finance now, will become more challenging to pay for in the years to come.
Moreover, interest rates will be rising at the same time as government spending related to the retirement of the baby boom generation.

The Creative Benefits of Boredom | HBR Blog Network | David Burkus
"[…]a certain level of boredom might actually enhance the creative quality of our work […]"
Source: blogs.hbr.org
It is one step away from claiming that boredom makes you creative, which would make no sense. The frustration of boredom may motivate you to use your creativity, but deliberately boring people in order to make them creative is not something I would recommend.
I think that creativity is innate, but much more widely spread than most managers and engineers believe. The example in the article is about sales; I am more familiar with manufacturing, where most jobs are repetitive, tedious, and boring.
They jobs are also tiring, but most production operators will tell you that they don't mind the tiredness as much as the slowness of the clock. Boredom is their number one enemy, and participation in improvement activities a welcome relief from it, as well as an opportunity to be creative.
People who are bored by repetitive tasks go "on automatic." Their hands keeps executing the sequence of tasks with accuracy and precision, while their minds wander off to, perhaps, the lake they fish in on week-ends. While on automatic, you don't think about improvements.
Changes in the routine, whether deliberate or accidental, refocus their minds on the workplace. This includes product changes, spec changes, rotation between work stations, or any breakdown like defects in the product, component shortages, or machine stoppages. During theses changes, while engaged, your mind is focused on responding as you were trained to, and avoiding mistakes. If you think of better ways to do this work, they go on the back burner in your mind, while you attend to immediate needs.
Depending on the management culture, operators may or may not be willing to share these ideas. They may be afraid of humiliation by a tactless manager, or they may fear that improving their job puts it in jeopardy,…
To put to use the operators' creativity, you have to organize for this purpose, and it can't be while the line is running. This is why continuous improvement requires structures, procedures, and leadership.

3 weeks left here - anyone need any low-paid work? (Beirut)
Hi all,
I'm currently working at the Ksara vineyard to see how it all works and most importantly, to have a chance to practice my Arabic. Sadly there is absolutely no work to do here - I spend all day watching Syrian workers pick grapes and am not allowed to help out. Frankly, even though I'm speaking quite a bit here I can't simply sit around all day. The plan is then to so some studying at Saifi and so I am looking to find any work - from manual labour to bar work, that will help to offset the cost of this unexpected need to pay for tutoring. I have experience in a lot of fields and am a 2nd lieutenant in the British army so am fairly practical and reasonably disciplined. I also speak fluent French, good Arabic and can manage ok with German and Spanish. If this would interest anyone - particularly around Ashrafieh then do please get in touch.
Many thanks,

Hello dear readers
As you might have noticed, I'm not so active as I used to be. That's because I've been taking some head damage, and have gotten me a concussion. Sucks, but it'll pass eventually. It's been almost 4 months now, but when I get well, I intend do do some more LITC-work.
So stay tuned – and hopefully I'll get to it soon.
In the meantime, thanks Maximum RocknRoll for the great words in the zine!

Verizon's False Friends and Dysfunctional Family program
On paper, Verizon's Friends & Family program is sweet. We can list up to 10 telephone numbers we can call as much as we want without those minutes subtracting from the 2,100 minutes we pay for. (We have five lines.) Verizon also doesn't count against those 2,100 minutes calls made to other Verizon wireless subscribers.
So, what one piece of information do you need in order to figure out which ten F&F to choose? You need to know which ten numbers outside the Verizon network you have spent the most minutes on. And what information can you not get from the Verizon site, from the person you chat with on the site, or the customer support person on the telephone? Yay!
The site lets you see calls ranked by minutes or expense within each telephone line, but not across all lines. Worse, you can't tell if the calls are within the Verizon network. The telephone person I spoke with actually was quite kind and spent many minutes looking through our 40-page bill, pulling out useful information. But even she didn't have the magic query that would answer the question. And it's really not that hard a question for a computer to answer.
I'm sorry to say that the most plausible explanation is that Verizon simply does not want its customers to make effective use of the Friends & Family program it promotes so heavily.

I figured I should document this here, since it really does belong somewhere on the internet.
I've been using Soekris systems as my home route/firewall/misc Unix box for about 5 years now and I'm quite a fan. I've slowly been coming to the realisation that my trusty old net5501-70 is going to become more and more of a bottleneck for me, I decided to jump to the new shiny, a net6501-70
It seems there is a known issue with FreeBSD 9.0 amd64 and the net6501, the GENERIC kernel fails to boot since an optional driver is required. So the options seem to be either install FreeBSD 9.0 in 32 bit, or do something a little creative to install 64 bit mode. In the end, I did both.
Originally, I tried in vain to replace the GENERIC kernel on the memstick installer with a custom compiled kernel, which didn't work out so well. Next I tried to build a custom memstick image on one of my other FreeBSD amd64 systems, using the make scripts provided within
/usr/src/release/. It seemed to be going well, but it was taking a number of days, which seemed way too long to build a 700MB iso image, so I gave up on that. I came very close to simply installing a freshly built world and custom kernel, but ran into issues I now know are FreeBSD boot loader stage issues (they're just very poorly documented).
In the end, I installed FreeBSD 9.0 i386 on the net6501-70, and then using i366->amd64 migration steps, I did a side step over to amd64 (ignoring the parts about broken ports since I hadn't installed anything from ports). I now have a freshly installed amd64 system I can continue to setup, it just took me a number of weeks to get here.
At least it wasn't entirely wasted, I've learnt a lot more about FreeBSD boot stages and symptoms debugging problems. I've also learnt to use
gpart, which is so much more intuitive to use than

A type of folklore, myth is central to all cultures. Written by a leading authority and of use to high school students, undergraduates, and general readers, this reference offers a convenient overview of the role of myth around the world. The volume defines and classifies types of myth and provides examples from different cultural traditions. It then overviews various approaches to studying myth. This is followed by a look at myth in relation to its contexts, such as religion, politics, and popular culture. The volume closes with a bibliography of print and electronic resources and a glossary.Most contemporary folklore approaches recognize that the earlier strict distinctions between saga, epic, legend, folktale (often called fairy tale, yet few include any fairies!), fable, and myth are actually untenable, because they are almost indecipherable to the aquot;folkaquot; being studied. ... It is more than a text and its constituent elementsaquot; ( 1 38) a that is to say, words, plots, themes, and narrative structures.

- Ramik Wilson was asked after Monday's practice if Reggie Carter was coming for him. Wilson smiled and laughed.
"What do you mean by that?" he said.
Well, Georgia head coach Mark Richt has said he'd like to see more subbing at the inside linebacker spot, but defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said junior starter Amarlo Herrera wouldn't be coming off the field. So that would seem to mean Wilson, the junior who has started and played the vast majority of the first two games, had better watch for Carter, his freshman backup.
"I don't know. It's on them," Wilson said of the coaches. "I've just gotta keep doing my job."
Herrera and Wilson were the SEC's two leading tacklers after the second week of the season. And Georgia's bye week only dropped them to fourth and fifth, with Herrera at 24 and Wilson at 22.
"You watch the game: On every tackle you're gonna see 51 or 52," Wilson said. "We're just trying to show everybody (to) play hard. Run to the ball and good things will happen. See what happened: Connor Shaw fumbled when Amarlo ran to the ball. Just gotta keep hustling, and good things will happen."
Herrera, one of the few returning starters on defense, has performed about as expected, and has made some impact plays: He forced the key fumble on South Carolina's Connor Shaw, and made the main tackle on the fourth-down goal-line stand.
But Wilson appeared to have a rougher game, despite racking up the tackle. Wilson said he thought he had a good game against South Carolina, but admitted to "a couple miscommunications" with teammates.
So the door might be open to Carter, who hasn't recorded a tackle yet in very sparing playing time. But the freshman had a strong spring and preseason, when he earned a reputation for making plays (he had an interception on G-Day) and showing good instincts.
This week Georgia faces unheralded North Texas. So Carter figures to get more snaps, whether it be early in the game or in the second half if Georgia has pulled away.
"Is this a big week for me? I look at it as just another game for me," Carter said. "It won't surprise me if I get in. I've just gotta man up, and get the coaches' trust, and the player's trust too, so they know I can be that guy that they want me to be."

As you can see in the screenshots, I just added highly accurate hydrostatic/hydrodynamic physics in Rigs of Rods.
In the same philosophy that makes RoR so different, this is not just an approximated Archimedes law that was added, but a realtime local pressure gradient computation, that is able to accurately simulate any buoyant shape, in any position, and even with uneven water surface (waves!).
With this method, making boats is also quite easy, you just have to mark cab triangles as part of the hull and that's all! The water pressure gradient will be applied to the "wet" side of the triangles, and all these pressure forces will combine to make the boat float.
As always, the physics (the fun part!) is only 10% of the code, and I have yet to integrate boats to the gameplay (making nice dashboard, sounds, special effects, port infrastructure...).

Easy Crab and Corn Chowder is quick soup that is tasty and reasonably healthy. One of the great cooking hacks in this post is the method for cooking the sweet corn. You will never boil sweet corn again.
Easy Crab and Corn Chowder
(Adapted from recipe of Robin Miller, Food Network, 2017)
Serves 4
3 pre-made crab cakes (Fresh Market is our preference)
6 ears sweet corn in their husks
3 bay leaves
5 cups fat-free, reduced sodium chicken broth (warmed to a simmer)
1 cup 2% milk
Crystal Hot Sauce to taste
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup crispy bacon lardons
Working in batches of three, cook the sweet corn by microwaving for 4 minutes. Repeat. Set the corn aside to cool before husking. When cool enough pull the husks and any remaining silk – there shouldn't be much with this method – from the ears. Cut the kernels off of the ears and set aside.
While the broth warms, place the crab cakes in a small Dutch oven and gently break them apart. Add the corn, bay leaves, several dashes of hot sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Add the broth and bring the soup to a gentle boil, about 5 minutes. Add the milk and simmer for another 2 minutes.
To serve, ladle the chowder into large shallow serving bowls and garnish with parsley and bacon.Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2017

The CBI has signalled its determination to campaign for Britain to remain in the EU, as the battle lines are drawn for the country's in-out referendum campaign.
The UK's leading business group published a glossy report, Choosing Our Future, on Wednesday, liberally sprinkled with quotes from companies and trade bodies about the boost to their bottom line from remaining in the European single market.
The referendum on EU membership David Cameron has promised may be as much as two years away, aand will follow the prime minister's efforts to renegotiate Britain's position in the union with his EU counterparts.
Following the launch of official in and out campaigns, the CBI, which represents 190,000 businesses employing 7 million people, is keen to show that it will play a leading role in promoting the benefits of remaining in a reformed EU.
"The single market has been the solid foundation of our economic success in recent decades, giving us direct access to eight times more consumers than in the UK alone and ensuring we can go toe-to-toe with larger economies on major trade deals, creating jobs and economic growth here in the UK," said John Cridland, the CBI's outgoing director general.
The business secretary, Sajid Javid, criticised the CBI earlier this year for weakening the prime minister's hand as he prepares to negotiate with Brussels, by appearing to offer unconditional support for British membership.
Mindful of that criticism, Cridland said: "We should not be blind to the downsides and recognise the EU, like any big institution, has its faults and needs to do better."
Throughout the new report, however, CBI member companies and trade bodies large and small laud the EU and its benefits.
"We export over 60% of the music made in the UK – our biggest markets are the European Union and America. Access to customers through the EU single market has undoubtedly helped the UK music industry become a world leader," says Jo Dipple, the chief executive of UK Music, which represents the industry.
Andy Wood, the chief executive of the Southwold-based brewer Adnams, says: "We are making British beer popular across Europe, selling easily through the EU single market to our largest export market, Sweden, meaning we can continue to grow our 420 strong workforce back home."
Echoing a report published by the Britain Stronger in Europe group last weekend, the CBI also stresses the benefits to UK consumers of membership, which allows them to "buy cheese from France, salami from Italy, beer from Belgium and put it in a fridge from Germany as if they were buying from the UK, with no extra charges".
It suggests that leaving the EU would mean having to negotiate new trade deals with longstanding European exporters, and could see tariffs and taxes slapped on foreign goods.
The opening salvo in the campaign from the business community comes as Mark Carney, the Bank of England's governor, prepares to deliver his own verdict on the risks of a Brexit in a speech at St Peter's College, Oxford.
Speaking on Wednesday afternoon, Carney is expected to reveal the results of Project Bookend, a Bank investigation into the implications of a British exit from the EU for its key tasks of maintaining monetary and financial stability.
Most business groups appear poised to line up behind the campaign to stay, but trade unions are divided. Some see the EU as a powerful guarantor of human rights, but others fear the prime minister will bargain away worker protections in his forthcoming negotiations.
The TUC's general secretary, Frances O'Grady, said: "The EU is at its best when it meets the interests of both business and workers. But the prime minister's plans for EU renegotiation will put at risk important rights that UK workers get from the EU, such as paid holidays, rest breaks and protection against working excessive hours.
"If you take workers' rights away, they will be less likely to vote to stay in the EU."

Georgia and I have the same head cold which makes us sad and pathetic She is much cuter than I when she is sick. This is the second time in a row we have gotten sick after coming home from Idaho.
We are most likely both allergic to Utah.
Being sick this time around has made me pensive and dreamy. I keep talking about how lucky I am to be a stay at home mom (something I don't talk about often) to one kid. It is fortunate that baby and I got sick at the same time. I have no job to worry about- no email to send off. I can let the house go to trash and not care. I can sleep when Georgia sleeps and cuddle and watch Brave and Tangled back to back and eat way too many goldfish and tomatoes.
When I have two babies, it won't be like this. I won't be able to read a book in a day and get half way through another the next day. I won't be able to put off things that I can put off now. I will miss it.
Scott has been such a blessing to his two sick girls. This, I do not deserve because I am the WORST caregiver when Scott gets sick. Really, the worst. But he just gets up with the baby when she cries in the middle of the night and he buys me aloe vera tissues even though they are more expensive than toilet paper. He makes me eat more than handfuls of produce and he brings me endless glasses of lemon water and orange juice.
It's not all cuddles and runny noses though. Georgie has an on and off fever that makes her Jekyll and Hyde. One minute she's all feverish and snuggling and the next, her fever is broken and she has the energy to be outraged at the fact that she cannot breathe. Outraged, it turns out, is a pretty good word to describe Georgia when she's mad. She simply doesn't just get mad. She gets outraged. It is both hard and irritating to witness tiny tantrums down the hallway for no apparent reason.
This afternoon, when she woke from a nap burning up, I put her in a tepid bath (one that was a little on the warm side) to break her fever. She was terrified of the bath in a way I have never seen before. No toy or song or splashing could calm her down. I knew I had to break the fever so I put her in and she clung to me tightly while shivering and refusing to sit down. I sang to her and ran a washcloth over her and tried to get her to calm down and she just couldn't. Finally, I reached back to get a towel and saw her standing there. My 20lb, 19 month old little girl shaking so violently she was about to fall over. Shivering like she was standing naked in the snow. I started to cry with her. By the end of the bath, I was totally soaked in water and tears but I didn't care.
I blow dried her hair because she likes that and she never let go of my shirt.
Now as I type this, she is clinging to me like a baby monkey. And we both feel a little sad.
At least we have each other.

new: eylure brow.
|{eyebrows on fleek}
congrats to eylure! they are starting their february off right. last night katy perry wore eylure lashes to her super bowl performance. this week they expand their offerings from lashes to brows! they couldn't have chosen a better time. healthy, full, yet groomed brows continue to dominate beauty trends.
when eylure goes into a catagory, they go hard. true to eylure form, their latest offerings are a veritable eyebrow wardrobe. they've got stencils, palettes, crayons and pens in numerous shades (blonde, mid-brown, dark-brown, black). i happen to love the palettes - which include powder, wax and brow highlight. the powder fills, the wax sets, and the highlight frames. the highlight is unique because it's a matte finish. so many brow highlights are filled with shimmer that should not see the light of day. this brow kit is dignified and modern.
eylure's brow selection will be offered at ulta stores and ulta.com.

Vancouver punk rockers Living With Lions just released their sophomore album today. It's called Holy Shit, is subtitled "The Poo Testament," and has liner notes that recreate the Ascension with Christ portrayed as a turd. Oh, and the album is sponsored by the Canadian government.
The album is designed to resemble a Bible, complete with liner notes written as verses, a cracked binding, and yellowed pages. The last line of the band's acknowledgements reads, "We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage."
Oh, it gets worse: Not only is the Canadian Government giving punks money so they can depict Jesus Christ as, literally, a piece of shit, but they're also supporting a band that sounds like bad Bad Religion ("Worse Religion"?).

You gotta be prepared to wrestle
Wrestle with the devil in a heartbeat
Before the moment is past
You gotta be prepared, you gotta be prepared
To wrestle with the devil in a heartbeat
Or it could be your very last
[Snake Preacher]
And the Lord said "They shall take up serpents", And those who believe will be saved. And those whose faith is weak will perish with the devil. Test your faith! Put your life in the hands of the Lord. Who amongst you will take up serpents?
You all know about the Devil, don't ya, brethren, I bet he's got you scared
Cause you can feel it in your hearts and bones, he's in this very town
And he wants your souls now, you gotta be prepared
You gotta be prepared
[Snake Preacher]
You gotta be prepared, to wrestle with the devil in a heartbeat
Before the moment is past
You all know about the Devil, don't ya, don't ya
You don't think that you'll be spared
He's gonna tempt you with a life of sin, tease you with his flashing grin
But we've got the lord here, (oh yes) we've got the truth now (oh yes)
Yes you've got the mighty, (oh yes) you've got to be prepared
No matter what you do, he's coming after you
So wrestle with the devil till you break him
Until he's gone from your head
You gotta face the test
[Snake Preacher]
The devil doesn't rest
So wrestle with the devil till you take him, until he's finally, cold and dead
[Snake Preacher]
He's there in the reflections on the river skimming by
He's there in the clouds as they blacken the sky
He's there in your bedroom, He can crawl into your dreams
[Person 1]
He's anything he want's to be, but he's never what he seems
[Person 2]
He's there in the foreboding, you feel in your bones
[Person 3]
He's there in the graveyard, chipping names on the stones
He's there in your memories, turning good times into bad
He's there in the future, that you wish you never had
No matter what you do, he's coming after you
So wrestle with the devil till you break him
Until he's gone from your head
You gotta be a success, the devil doesn't rest
So wrestle with the devil till you break him
Until he's finally cold and dead
[Snake Preacher]
You'll see him in the movies, brother thinking about sex and guzzling gin
You'll see him in the courthouse sister trying to make legal every horrible sin
You'll see him in the churches brother, acting like he loves the lord above
You'll see him in your families Sister! Better take a look at who you love
You all know about the Devil, don't ya, don't ya
You all know, he's lying in wait
He's lying in more ways than one, every time he uses you
Breaks a promise, and breaks your heart
And that's why love turns to hate
Are you gonna save me Amos? One more chance to save my life
Show me that you care
Don't you think it's time that you grew up, such a gullible, stupid girl
A little Angel? a little tramp
Your secrets out and I don't care
I swear I didn't tell, I'd rather go to hell
I made a vow, you know I'd never break it
I'd never lie at all to you
How many goddam vows, have you taken up to now
Have you kept a single one? oh forget it
Your pathetic, and that's the only truth
How can you be so blind? Didn't anybody know?
The Devils been here all the time, he's waiting
Playing, hide and seek
He's up in Swallow's barn, he's dangerous and armed
He's got a gun, he's not afraid to use it
The killer is strong and you are all so weak
It's time that this was over
[A Local]
Nerves are raw
Hearts begin to pound
Bring him in, hunt him down
[Sheriff & Townspeople]
A little bit of slaughter is justified to bring us back our town
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/musicals/whistle_down_the_wind_wrestle_with_the_devil.html

Modern Warfare 2
With Modern Warfare 2, we used FRAPS to record frame rates over the course of a 60-second gameplay session. We conducted this gameplay session five times on each CPU and have reported the median score from each processor. We've also graphed the frame rates from a single, representative session for each. We tested this game at a relatively low 1024x768 resolution, with no AA, but otherwise using the highest in-game visual quality settings.
AMD's new entrants don't do any better in Modern Warfare 2, although here, Intel's success matters little. Even sub-$100 dual-core processors can crank out a minimum frame rate of about 60 per second, which matches the maximum most LCD monitors can deliver. Processor performance should be the least of your worries in cross-platform titles like these.

As mentioned by
Lights flashing, adrenaline flowing, the scrolling triple 7's rewarding you with the jackpot of a lifetime; who in the world hasn't dreamed of striking it big in Vegas? You could finally go on that vacation to paradise, pay off your home, or maybe even help support your family for generations to come. But those lucky 7's don't have to be confined to Vegas. In fact, one of the most important 7's you should be shooting for is a credit score of 700 or higher. It may not reward you with cash jackpot worth millions, but obtaining a credit score above 700 will certainly open the door to more desirable credit cards with rewards, 0% interest credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, and other credit products that will save you thousands in interest during your lifetime.
Upon entering the ring, the debit card and the credit card look pretty evenly matched. They are the same size and the same shape. Their functions are also similar: electronically transferring money from one owner to another. But when pitted against each other in a head-to-head match, who will come out on top?
Dear Creditnet: I just got a new cell phone and the salesperson mentioned that paying my bill on time each month will help improve my credit. Is this true? If so, will the new cell phone bill have the same type of positive effect on my credit scores as my student credit cards and student loans? - Sandra L. from CA
Dear Creditnet: I'm currently receiving collection notices from American Express for an unpaid balance on an old corporate credit card. I left the company where I had this card in late 2011. I have combed through all my Amex bills, corporate expense reports and reimbursements, but I've been unable to find any unpaid charges on the card. In addition, because the card was in my name and I incurred all the charges, my former employer takes no responsibility for the unpaid balance even though the charges were made solely for work purposes. Will this affect my personal credit? What should I do now?

Rihanna tweets Chrismas holiday cocktail pic from Barbados
It appears that Jodie Marsh is not the only one soaking up the Barbados sun this Christmas - Rihanna as also been busy tweeting pics of herself in the Caribbean paradise.
The singer posted a snap of herself enjoying a Christmas cocktail by the pool at her waterfront villa on the island, where she has showed off an array of eye-catching swimwear, including this turquoise one-piece.
Thankfully, she decided not to opt for the "sexy Santa" bikini a la Jodie...
It is thought Rihanna checked out of the rented villa on Christmas Eve, and headed back to LA to celebrate Christmas Day.
A host of stars have jetted off for sunnier climes this Christmas, with the Beckhams choosing to splash out £250k on a luxury Maldives trip, and Rita Ora set to see in the New Year in Dubai.
