The children oracle & the death card are symbolic of a transition that took place in regards to the inner child this week.
The numerological aspects of this week speak volumes about this transition that takes place & that portal that opens to excrete the last & the most potent of our childhood wounds.
'Your love life is being affected by children' can manifest as an energy in one of two ways.
Main theme – (Children/Death), 9 of swords, 7 of swords, 6 of swords, queen of cups, Crowning – I let go of all pain & tension as I float in the sea of divine love, Outcome – 8 of wands.
Numerological breakdown calculation- 6-12 6 – Childhood, innerchild, mother wound, motherhood, lovers, past life karma, 12 (3) – the holy trinity, understanding, acceptance, oneness, family, community, creativity, communication.
Overall (9) – Healing, abandonment consciousness, the wounded healer, service, completion, resolution, endings, conclusion.
For many of us, a relationship has ended, or is ending that includes the children that we have produced as a result of the relationship, & this is hitting many of us hard as far as our concerns about not recreating the childhood we wish we had are concerned.
There are likely to be fear, doubts, worries & anxities about the nature of this ending, suggested by the 9 of swords.
Perhaps we held on to this situation longer than we knew was necessary because we had an idealised fantasy of what we wanted the truth to be, & the death card arrived to penetrate that fantasy, & bring us back to the reality that is ourselves.
Our inner child.
Our raw, vulnerable & honest self. The duty no longer belongs to anybody, & it becomes our responsibility to parent ourselves.
Especially those of us who have still been holding the past accountable for why we are the way that we are now.
You cannot get much done with the mentality that because of your childhood life does not allow you to move forward. And this enables you to stare death in the face, as well as the prospect of endings.
The 6 of swords suggests that the healing of ideas & beliefs built during childhood are main orchestrating factors in this stage of your journey.
It's vital for you to concentrate on the nature of your thoughts, specifically focusing on what is conjured in the present moment, as opposed to the past, or the future.
It is the way that we motion in the presence, & the way we write others in our script that reflects our overall mood state.
The 7 of swords is common avoidance from making the unconscious & subconscious parts of our mind – conscious. This is the energy of an individual or a group who continuously avoid doing emotional labour, as the queen of cups does.
She sits with her emotions. She does not run from them, neither does she over analyse or try to attribute reason or cause to them. She just exists inside of them, and honours her own sensitivity.
Perhaps because of societal structures & beliefs about what it means to be emotional, emotionally sensitive, empathic, or intuitive, many of us have hidden this very sacred & tender part of ourselves, only to have situations during the course of our lives bring this very raw nature to the surface – usually in ways that cause us embarrassment or franticness.
This is what tends to happen with a shadow self. It is the dark part of our subconscious mind that takes all of our experiences & traits that we deem undesirable for societal eyes, & it hides them. It's like a compartment in our mind that documents a file of the things that we cannot do & say, that we are not to let others in on, for it is shameful.
But the 7 of swords only fools himself. Just because that part is 'hidden' from everybody else, does not mean it does not manifest in often emotionally unsettling ways – anxiousness, rage, emotional outbursts, victimhood, abandonment consciousness, BDP symptoms – JUST to name a few.
The 8 of wands is a message that strikes the heart hard & fast, almost like cupids arrows.
This is answers that seem to come all at once, some to questions that we did not even know we had.
The 7 of swords may have held an idealised vision of childhood, or children, & it is the part of us that frequently finds ourselves revisiting the past & asking, 'why couldn't this go this way?' Or, 'why did this have to happen?'
But as you can see, these types of thoughts only hold the figure back, as their head is tilted towards the back of them, although they 'appear' to be moving forward.
The death card actually presents a gift to the queen of cups, an ending that brings her emotional satisfaction, & wellness.
It could be an ego death, as death is like her knight in shining armour this week, almost courting her for her affections, & she gives in to him this week. She does not resist. She honours her new emotions & looks into them as a gift.
Death is pleased with her acceptance, & carefully moves on..
For many this represents the feminine nature of our inner child dying off, & experiencing a rebirth. The purity of a child. The clear understanding, of a child.
Still, death is not something to be feared.
Maturity, is death.
Written on 9/11..
Today will be a deeper entrance into this weeks portal opening for the recognition of karmic/childhood/family wounds – 9/11 a date periodically symbolic of entering new worlds, diminishing old stories, & allowing the past to remain in the past.
We then move on to 10/11… By this date, we have already begun to experience the benefits of living a life w/ less expectancy, & greater focus on being present… 10/11 puts our nearly learned skills to practice – 111
Culminating in 11:11 – the portal that exposes us to awakening. Many will unite in love on this day, especially if they've followed the time table of the week, learning, releasing, as we go along. 11111 – 5 (change). 7/11 – the universal pattern/lesson is learned (9) – 8/11 – the lesson begins integration by the vessel learning of cause & effect (10) – 9/11 – the pattern is identified. The vessel is ready to move into a new timeline/to shift realities/perceptions & enter the new body/ (11). People ask me why I'm obsessed with 7/11.. well there are endless reasons. I find the life path 7, & 11 to be insanely similar (FIRST OF ALL), for the simple fact that both of their lives are marked by spiritual illumination after every harsh lesson.
They are both shamans, either challenged or rewarded by their ability to perceive Godly truth & revelation in their circumstances. Their life isn't theirs. It belongs to the collective. They sort of have to move out of the way, & allow spirit to happen.
They both represent the powerful dynamics of masculine & feminine energy working in unison (7) – 3 (feminine) + 4 (masculine), whilst 11 represents the vaginal walls – birth (composed of both – masculine & feminine). 7 is the death (once the lesson has been learnt & the individuals ego has been penetrated enough for them to give way to more soul), whilst 11 represents the rebirth. The walkthrough from the old self, to the new self. You'll typically find those with these lifepath numbers meet at pivotal points in their journey.
Divine lovers weekly (those who have already ordered are still within the processing of receiving).
This week, the inner child faces annihilation at this time, in the face of union/separation & how the two are forever intwined.
'Separation' can only exist in the idea of union, & if the idea of 'union' exists.
Not following?
In order for us to perceive there is separation from our love, we must first become attached to it & become attached to the idea that it is something that can be lost.
I know that does not necessarily make sense. Things can be lost, can't they? Things are frequently lost.
Well yes, & no.
Things do morph yes, & take on new form, & inner child work this week shows how our inner child is still very much alive in us & motivates most of our movements.
When we begin to identify with something or someone & the way that this thing outside of ourselves should relate to us, we block ourselves off from its full experience & capacity.
What does union look like to you? Constant interaction, & connection?
It seems our divine love may actually be keeping us away from our inner child work, especially if we're still holding onto fears about being lost, & left behind, instead of embraced.
The masculine toys with power displays & the fear of being toppled, or compressed by the feminine energy – internally & externally, whilst the feminine works on healing the family issues & disputes that keep her from experiencing freedom & joy in her life. Who is the feminines 'self' not centred around this constant, perpetual journey of healing.
Healing that does not look like a trial, or is not met with resistance from generational curses.

Government Should Not Allow ENZA Levy On Growers
The Government is making a major error of judgement by considering allowing ENZA to levy all growers to recoup financial losses from previous years, ACT Rural Affairs Spokesman Owen Jennings said today.
"Agriculture Minister Jim Sutton has adopted the weasel words "legacy costs", promoted by ENZA. ENZA debts belong squarely with ENZA shareholders. No amount of dressing-up or political opportunism can disguise the poor decision-making ability of ENZA's past and present directors," Owen Jennings said.
"Growers who have not been supplying ENZA should not be made liable by a compulsory levy for this debt. The debt is absolutely nothing to do with them. "The fact the Government is considering this proposal shows it is more concerned about popularity than principle.
"Last week's letter from ENZA to growers was practically a direct appeal to the Government to bail them out.
"New entrants taking up shares in ENZA faced the same risks as prospective shareholders in any other company.
"The harsh reality is that if these shareholders were unaware of the full extent of the debt that it is their problem. Would the current shareholders of ENZA be seeking a device to distribute profits to suppliers if they had discovered that the assets were worth more than they thought at the time they bought their shares?
"The history of ENZA's debt is a sad one. Shareholders and growers have been dealt a cruel and unnecessary blow through poor quality decision making. "There is no case for growers to pick up what is a shareholder responsibility. The Minister should have had the nous and fortitude to refuse the company's overtures for a compulsory levy. If ENZA were really so commercially naïve to dump their debt on suppliers in one year, they deserve all the opprobrium they get," Owen Jennings said.

Reformation: 500 years, 1517-2017
The Lutheran Reformation came to be summed up in 3 phrases:
Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone.
Grace alone - we do not work our way to God by the good works we do. Instead he comes to us through the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. God so loved the world that he gave his only son, John 3:16. While were we yet sinners Christ died for us Romans 5:4.
Faith alone - When I come to know I am forgiven for Jesus' sake, I realize this good news is 'for me'. Faith is not simply believing in God. Faith is believing him and trusting what he says.
Scripture alone - The Bible is where I hear this good news. It is the only place where God fully reveals himself, his heart. If you want to know what God says, listen to the scriptures. Martin Luther in his lecture on the Psalm, says "What pasture is to the beast, the nest for the birds, the stream for fish, the scriptures are for believing souls. They are the fountain from which one must dip. Each word is a source which affords inexhaustible abundance of water to everyone who thirsts…. In them God speaks and they are his word."
We still hold to this high view of scripture. Drink deeply of his word.

Title for November: South of Superior by Ellen Airgood Discussion
Wednesday, November 15 at 1:00 PM
When Madeline Stone walks away from her Chicago life and moves five hundred miles north to the coast of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, she isn't prepared for how much her life will change. Charged with caring for an aging family friend, Madeline finds herself in the middle of beautiful nowhere with Gladys and Arbutus, two octogenarian sisters--one sharp and stubborn, the other sweeter than sunshine. As she is drawn into the dramas of the small, tight-knit town, Madeline learns that it's a place where times are tough and debts run deep, but where friendship, community and compassion run deeper. All are welcome to join us at the church for discussion and refreshments Copies of the book on loan from the Pikes Peak Library District Book Club Collection are available in the church office to be signed out.
Please call Nancy Lord at 495-8075 with any questions.

Christmas Cards for Prisoners
It is time to again gather to write Christmas cards to prisoners through Prayer for Prisoners International on Sunday, November 19, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall.
PFPI is based in Canyon City with outreach to prisons all across the United States. At Christmas they have a massive mission outreach to send personal Christmas cards to any prisoner who requests one. Since beginning this outreach they have sent over 200,000 cards.
They really appreciate our help. Last year we sent cards to prisoners in Florida, Alaska, and Colorado. If you can join us, please sign-up on the bulletin board and indicate how many cards you might bring. This helps us estimate how many names we can send cards to.
The cards you provide must be Christian; no Santa's or snowmen. This is our opportunity to send the love of Jesus to prisoners and impact their lives this Christmas.
Join us on November 19 at 1:00 PM for Christmas music, cookies and a lot of card writing.
Book Stew 2018
The Book Stew is scheduled for January 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2018. If you would like to donate books we will be collecting them in the Fellowship Hall starting December 10. This year's proceeds will be donated to Springs Rescue Mission. Thank you for your continued donations and support.
Didi in the Congo
The political situation in the Congo is continuing to deteriorate. The US state department is issuing guidelines that state the Congo is not a safe place to visit. Although there has not yet been recent trouble near Didi, it is hard to know what will happen.
Didi's vehicle was damaged by his driver. It is difficult for Didi to get a driver's license in the Congo and drivers have less concern for safety and caution there, than in the US. Furthermore, the roads are mostly in very poor condition. As we get a better understanding how WMPL allocates funding, we are able to send funds in a way to do the most good.
In the short term, Didi is working on how to feed some of those in need, as well as, how to help local farmers. Organizations that supply food to UNICEF can also deliver to Boma where Didi can pick it up. The farmers are limited by having funds to purchase quality seeds at the start of the season, as well as, fertilizer during the growing time.
Serafina is leading groups of women about safety and prevention of abuse. Churches, family groups and community leaders all need this training. Justice varies with the station of those charged within their community.
Finally, Didi is an acting Dean at a local seminary. He will be teaching and mentoring local leaders to help them become more effective.
Pray for the safety of Didi's family, the people of the DRC and for his work to be making a difference.
Travel Group Calendar
Tuesday, November 28: Lunch At the Broadmoor Hotel, enjoy the Christmas Decorations and visit the Carriage Museum Saturday,
Saturday, December 9: We will visit GEORGETOWN'S 57th Annual Christmas Market. We will enjoy the town's festivities, which start off at noon, and then dinner at the White Fence Farm. Please let Donna Ewer's know if you are interested or have any questions.
Council Nominees
Fall is here and with it the annual Church Council effort to find the best possible future leaders for our church. We are seeking volunteers and recommendations for positions on the 2018 Council.
Membership on council is both fun and rewarding, providing the opportunity to shape both the present and future ministry of our church. If you are interested in this important leadership role or would like to recommend someone for council, please contact Kathy Schwindt or Lisa Regennitter in the church office.

Her new email address is: email@example.com.

There is a drawer marked for Box Tops in Fellowship Hall under the bulletin board. We then give them to Wolford Elementary School. In return, the school receives 10 cents for every box top! NOTE: To date, Box Tops has contributed $840 million to more than 70,000 American schools. Let's fill that drawer!
BFLC Authors
We have several authors in our congregation and we will be highlighting their books.
My Million-Mile Journey: Finding Fulfillment Through Faith and Forgiveness Author: Patsy Wurster
Patsy lives in the Falcon area with Gary, her husband of thirty years. Their blended family includes five children, seventeen grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. In addition to her important roles as Mom and Grandma, Patsy became a global business leader, working her way up through the ranks in large organizations. After retiring from the corporate world, Patsy began writing about her million-mile journey from an extremely difficult childhood to the personal, professional, and financial success she cherishes today.
The book is available online through xulonpress.com/ bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com ($14.99, paperback, 9781545606582; $7.99, e-book, 978154566599)

Live Casino Poker Guide
In this article I'm going to explore and compare the various live casino poker games that are available at online live casinos. I'm referring to the ones where you're playing with a live dealer, using real cards and a table.
I'll explain the differences between the games and ultimately recommend where you can play them.
I won't be plugging Bonuses, free money or free Spins as they just don't exist for Live Casino Poker games, regardless of what anyone else says!
For the record there is 6 Live Casino poker games you can play with a live dealer.
So what is Live Casino Poker?
Live Casino poker is a general term for a range of online live dealer games that are based on traditional poker.
In Traditional poker players play against each other. While in Live Casino Poker play is against the house/dealer.
In the year 2000 Stephen Au-Yeung developed a table game called Casino Hold'em, while trying to teach his wife how to play Texas Hold'em Poker.
It's this live dealer poker game that first made its way online for us all to enjoy.
Casino Hold'ems uniqueness lays in there being only one player hand. As it turns out was a revelation for online play, where an unlimited number of people could play the same hand at the same time. Talk about being lucky!
Casino Hold'em was probably responsible for helping with the development of other single handed poker games and is still the most popular single hand poker game to be played online.
7 Things you should know before you start playing Live Casino poker games
- All the games are based on Poker, understanding Poker hand rankings will increase you're enjoyment of the game.
- Each game is played with a single deck of 52 Playing cards. This is shuffled after each game round, normally by a machine.
- All games are played against the house or dealer. To win, the player hand has to be better than the dealers.
- Most of the poker games only deal one player hand. There are exceptions with Caribbean Stud Poker and I'll cover that later.
- Side Bets and Bonus Bets all have enhanced payout odds. These bets have a much lower RTP than the base game. If you're looking for that big hit then the side bets give you that. They can also eat away at your balance very quickly, so play them wisely if you play them at all!
- Progressive Jackpots are available on Evolution Gamings Casino Hold'em, Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker and Caribbean Stud Poker. You'll find them at selected Evolution Casinos.
- Some pay outs are dependent on the Dealer having a minimum value to their hand. It's called "The Dealer Qualifying". Watch out for this.
RTP for Live Casino Poker Games Compared
Every poker game has a different Return to Player (RTP). This is the expected return you'd get on your bets and it's worked out over millions of hands. In general you want to be playing games that have a high RTP. I've gone through all the games and listed the published RTP's. I've included the bonus and side bet RTP's for completeness.
|Live Poker Game
|Overall RTP
|Aces or Better Bonus
|Pairs Plus
|5+1 Bonus
|Casino Hold'em
|Ultimate Texas Hold'em
|Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker
|3 Card Poker
|3 Card Brag
|Caribbean Stud Poker
Which is the Best Game to play?
There's two ways to judge this:
- Firstly, the game you enjoy playing the most should be top of your list. If you don't have a favourite just jump to my previews of all Live Dealer Poker Games to see what suits you best.
- Secondly, the RTP of the game makes a huge different. Choose a poker game that has a higher RTP. You'll find you get to play for longer and your bankroll will turn over a number of times. Bailing out at the right point could mean you leave with a profit. This is gambling after all, nothing is guaranteed, lol.
If played to optimal strategy Ultimate Texas Hold'em and Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker has the best RTP's for the Total Bet at 99.47%.
These also happen to be my personal favourites, as you're kept involved in each hand until the last card is dealt.
Live Casino Poker games
5 Live Casino Software Providers offer Live Poker games, but not all of them are able to offer all of the games. This is due to licensing restrictions.
- Evolution Gaming – has the widest coverage of games and holds exclusive rights for 3 Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'em & Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker. They also offer Casino Hold'em, Side Bet City & Caribbean Stud Poker. They are also the only supplier to offer Progressive Poker Jackpots.
- Playtech – has Casino Hold'em and 3 Card Brag.
- Ezugi – has Casino Hold'em.
- Vivo Gaming has 5 Seat Caribbean Stud Poker.
- XproGaming has 5 Seat Caribbean Stud Poker & Casino Hold'em.
Below is a description of the games, a short intro video and where you can play.
Casino Hold'em is the first live dealer poker game to be offered to online Live Casino players. It remains the most popular and widest available game at online casinos.
The objective of Casino Hold'em is for the player to make a better 5 card poker hand than the dealer, out of 7 cards dealt.
The game starts with the player placing a mandatory Ante bet and an optional Bonus side bet.
Two cards are then dealt to the player face up, while the dealer gets two cards face down.
A flop of 3 cards is then dealt to the center of the table. These are community cards that are shared between the player and dealer.
The player decides whether to play the hand by placing a bet that's double the ante. Or he can fold the hand. The river and turn cards are then dealt.
The dealer then displays his two cards and both the player and dealer make the best 5 card poker hand they can. The best hand wins.
When the dealer has a pair of 4s or greater he has qualified and can pay a call bet at even money if the player wins. If the dealer doesn't quality and the player wins, the bet is returned as a push. If you lose you lose all your bets.
The Bonus Side bet of Aces or Better is paid out on the first 5 cards dealt.
An optional progressive Jackpot available at Evolution Live Casinos.
- Played with one deck of 52 Cards.
- Manual Deal.
- Bonus Side Bet.
- Progressive Jackpot at Evolution.
Ante RTP = 97.84, Bonus Bet RTP = 93.74% & Jackpot RTP = 81.84%.
2 Hand Live Casino Hold'em is an exclusive game produced by Evolution Gaming.
It's played exactly the same game as live Casino Hold'em, with one difference.
There is two players hands you can play. You don't have to play both and if playing one you can chose which one.
You'll find the Bonus side Bet is available on both hands and the rules of the game is consistent with other variations.
- Played with one deck of 52 Cards.
- Manual Deal.
- Bonus Side Bet.
- 2 Player Hands.
Ante RTP = 97.84, Bonus Bet RTP = 93.74%
Ultimate Texas Hold'em has the same sort of game structure as Live Casino Hold'em, but the major difference is how you bet on this game. I first came across this game in Las Vegas and fell in love with it instantly. I just love the way you're kept involved in the hand until the last card is dealt. So imagine my delight when Evolution Gaming released this game to online players back in 2017.
Like most card games you have to place a bet (Ante) before play commences. In UTH, when an Ante bet is made, a bet equal to that also has to be placed, called the Blind. So that's two bets just to get started.
An optional Trips side bet can also be placed, which pays out on hands of 3 of a Kind or higher.
The dealer and player are then dealt two cards. The player decides whether to bet (3x or 4x the Ante) or check.
The dealer deals the flop and the player, if they haven't already bet, can bet up to 2x the Ante or check.
The dealer then deals the turn and river. The player can bet 1x the Ante or fold.
The dealer reveals his cards and the best 5 card poker hand wins. The Trips Side bet pays regardless of what the dealer has. For more information on game play click here or read my strategy for Ultimate Texas Hold'em if you already know how to play.
- Played with one deck of 52 Cards.
- Manual Deal.
- Trips Side Bet.
- Bet up to 4x the Ante.
- Exclusive to Evolution Casinos.
Ante RTP = 97.82, Total Bet RTP = 99.47%. Trips RTP = 96.50%.
Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker is another spin on Ultimate Texas Hold'em.
This time rather than the player having to decide to place a 4x bet upfront, his only initial decision is to play or fold. Playing costs 1x the Ante. Then, as each round occurs the player can bet or check his hand, until the game round is complete. If you bet on each round that amounts to 4x the Ante.
What's brilliant is your kept involved for each deal.
The Bonus Side bet is also completely different, paying out for pairs and high card combinations rather than poker ranked hands, which is the norm in other Poker games.
With a Total Bet RTP of 99.47% this is a game worth trying.
It's only available at Evolution Casinos and also has a Progressive Jackpot.
Ante RTP = 97.96, Total Bet RTP = 99.47%. Bonus Bet RTP = 91.46% & Jackpot RTP = 81.84%.
- Played with one deck of 52 Cards.
- Manual Deal.
- Bonus Side Bet.
- Bet up to 4x the Ante.
- Exclusive to Evolution Casinos.
- Progressive Jackpot.
3 Card Poker along with 3 Card Brag, is the simplest and easiest to understand of the Live Dealer poker games.
The player places an Initial Ante Bet and also an optional Pairs Plus and 6 Card Bonus Side Bet.
The cards are dealt firstly to the player face up and then to the dealer face down.
The player decides whether to play the hand by making a play bet equal to the Ante or to fold the hand.
The dealer then reveals his cards.
The best poker hand wins.
There's an optimal betting strategy for 3 card poker which you can read about here.
Ante RTP = 96.63%, Pairs Plus RTP = 95.51%. 6 Card Bonus RTP = 91.44%
- Played with one deck of 52 Cards.
- Manual Deal.
- Pairs Plus Side Bet.
- 6 Card Bonus Side Bet
- Exclusive to Evolution Casinos.
3 Card Brag is almost the same as 3 Card Poker.
There is one difference and that's with the hand ranks and pay scales.
The top hand in 3 Card Brag is a Prial (3 of a Kind).
This pays 40:1, whilst in 3 Card poker a Straight Flush pays 40:1. So in theory you're better off playing 3 Card Brag than 3 Card Poker because 3 of a Kind is more likely to occcur than a Straight Flush.
3 Card Brag has the Pairs Plus Side bet. There is no additional 6 Card Bonus.
Ante RTP = 98%, Pairs Plus RTP = 97.86%.
- Played with one deck of 52 Cards.
- Manual Deal.
- Pairs Plus Side Bet.
- Exclusive to Playtech Casinos.
Of all the poker games, Caribbean Stud poker looks the most similar to the games you see on the old Western TV shows.
In terms of game play at a live casino, it's almost a larger version of 3 card poker, but played with 5 cards.
Two versions of Caribbean Stud Poker exist online.
- Evolution Gamings version plays with one player hand.
- XproGaming and Vivo Gaming provide a 5 player hand alternative.
In all varieties, 5 Cards are dealt to the player face up. The dealers cards are dealt face down, with the first card left face up so players can decide whether tho bet or not.
This is the only decision point in the game. Do you play or fold?
If you've played, the dealer reveals their other 4 cards. The best poker hand wins.
There's an additional 5+1 side bet at Evolution casinos and an optional Progressive Jackpot.
Ante RTP = 96.30%, Total Bet RTP = 98.19%, 5+1 Bonus RTP – 91.64% and the Jackpot RTP = 81.84%.
Side Bet City isn't strictly a poker card game, because no cards are dealt to the player or dealer.
However, I've included it because the results of the game are all Poker ranked hands.
The dealer deals 7 cards face up on the table. You have the option to bet on the first 3 cards, the first 5 or all 7.
If you've bet on the first three your results are limited to 3 card poker hands. The 5 and 7 cards are used to make the best 5 card poker hand.
Payouts on the hands depend on which option you've bet on. There's also the option to bet on All lose, where you receive a 0.70:1 payout if there are no winning hands.
- Played with one deck of 52 Cards.
- Manual Deal.
- Bet on 3 Cards, 5 Cards or all 7 Cards.
- Bet on the All Lose option.
- Only available at Evolution Live Casinos.
3 Card RTP = 96.69%, 5 Card RTP = 95.21%, 7 Card RTP – 94.34% and the All Lose RTP = 96.29%.
Evolution Gaming has been leading the way in introducing progressive jackpots on Live Poker games.

The jackpots are not available at all Evolution live casinos, it all depends whether they signed up for it.
The progressive Jackpot for Caribbean Stud Poker was last won in June 2018.
High card
The lowest ranked hand in poker is the High Card, with the Ace being the highest. If two people have equal high cards, the next highest card (kicker) in the hand determines the winner.
One Pair
Two cards with the same value form a pair. A Pair of Aces is the top hand, followed by Kings, Queens etc.
Two Pair
Two sets of pairs in the same hand. If two people have the same first pair, the rank of the second pair decides who wins.
3 of a Kind
Also known as Trips, this hand has 3 cards of the same value, e.g. 3 Kings, 3 Eights , 3 Fives etc.
This is a sequence of cards from any suite, like 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or in 3 card poker 4,5,6.
All cards are from the same suit. The kicker rule applies if there are two flushes. This is an Ace High Flush.
Full House
A pair and a 3 of a kind make up a Full House. The higher 3 of a kind would win if there are two full houses.
4 of a Kind
4 cards that are of the same value, one from each suit.
Straight Flush
This is a straight and a flush all in one.
Royal Flush
The best possible hand in poker. A straight flush of the highest value cards in a suit, A-10.

Dear Family and Friends,
I hope you are well. Happy birthday to my Dad and Brother! And Happy Friday. I'm heading to Curitiba this afternoon. I'll leave Santa Cruz do Sul around midday and drive two hours to Porto Alegre where I'll catch the flight to Curitiba. I didn't do too much aside from work but really enjoyed my time here in Santa Cruz do Sul. There are cobblestone streets. The weather was fantastic – crisp and cool like late September in Boston. Everyone is nice, and when you go to the coffee shop, you recognize the people in there because the city is so small and everyone goes to the same few places. I had the nicest driver yesterday. The work was really easy. On warm nights, everyone sits outside and drinks chopes (draft beers).
I'm having a hard time keeping a straight face when I get prices for car tires… because in Portuguese they are called "pneus". You pronounce the P. Every city I have to find out about pneus in three different sizes. I'm trying to be an adult about it. I have a lot more car tires to get over the next two and a half weeks. Last night I had a sushi rodizho – like Fogo de Chao but with sushi. Ha! On my cheque, I saw that I was charged for the rodizho feminina. They charge different prices for men and women! That's all for now – I'm excited to keep moving.
Love, Annie

What are you Eating? - a Food Photography Project
It all started with a project I did last year called "Forbidden Foods" that project made a statement on those foods that we love, that aren't good for us, but that we can't live without. It has now morphed into what I call "What are you Eating?" a food photography project about what is in our foods. This project seeks to portray in a playful way that there are ingredients in our food that we are unaware of and that can ultimately cause harm. Regulations for food labeling are under debate and even when an ingredient is listed in the food do we actually know what it is and what it can do to our bodies? Is ignorance really bliss? This project is intended to make people stop and think and make them realize that they may not be aware of everything that is in their food. In this food photography project every food photo is a diptych. The first image is the one that entices and draws the viewer in. In that first image the food will be delicious and appealing - beautiful and crave-able. This is the image we can admire and that will make the viewer want to taste the food. Perhaps it will bring up childhood memories or fun associations or just remind us of how much we enjoy this food.
By contrast, the second image is where the food becomes questionable. The still life setting is a mock lab with a plain white background. There are lab tools that make the viewer question what goes into the food. Are there colorings, chemicals, pesticides in what I am eating? What will these mystery ingredients do? What am I really eating when I eat this? Is it made in a way that involves cruelty or that damages the environment? There is an element of fantasy in the lab images as not all ingredients in this food photography project are 100% real and what is actually in the food. In order to have a stronger reaction from the viewer there will sometimes be surprise ingredients such as packing peanuts and plastic beads.
Brilliant Blue is the first image in the series.

A new treatment will soon be available for adults with relapsed follicular lymphoma, a slow-growing form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, following the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of Aliqopa (copanlisib). The drug was granted Accelerated Approval as it fills an unmet medical need. Further trials are required and underway to confirm the clinical benefits of the drug.
Aliqopa's approval was based on data from a single-arm trial of 104 patients with follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who had relapsed disease after at least two earlier treatments. The trial showed nearly six out of ten (50 percent) of patients had a complete or partial response to the drug for a median of more than one year.
The medication developed by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals is a kinase inhibitor that slows and stops the growth of cancerous cells by blocking a number of enzymes that promote cell growth. It was granted Priority Review status, which means the FDA aims to take action on the application within six months. Aliqopa also received Orphan Drug designation, which provides pharmaceutical firms with added incentives to develop medicine to treat rare diseases.
Richard Pazdur, MD, director of the FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence and acting director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, explained patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma often see the cancer returning, even after a number of treatments.
"Options are limited for these patients and today's approval provides an additional choice for treatment, filling an unmet need for them," he asserted.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is more common in older patients. Estimates from the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health forecast more than 72,000 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States this year. Among the drugs used to treat non-Hodgkin lymphoma is Rituxan (rituximab), one of the top-selling Orphan Drugs of 2016 by sales, according to the EvaluatePharma Orphan Drug Report 2017.

This is a great tool to play with SMS, especially when it comes to sending messages to your near and dear ones. Everyone loves it more or less. For years, I have been using SMS without caring much how it really works. Recently, I discovered that using this small technology, some interesting work can be done. I always wondered how SMS quiz is implemented as shown on television or in the newspaper until I found my own developed SMS server with my Nokia 6610i. I came up with an idea of a Quiz Server which is implemented using .NET and SMS.
A Very Few Words about SMS (Short Message Service)
SMS stands for Short Message Service. It is a technology that enables the sending and receiving of messages between mobile phones. SMS first appeared in Europe in 1992. It was included in the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) standards right at the beginning. Later it was ported to wireless technologies like CDMA and TDMA. The GSM and SMS standards were originally developed by ETSI. ETSI is the abbreviation for European Telecommunications Standards Institute. Now the 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) is responsible for the development and maintenance of the GSM and SMS standards.
A Little About mCore
mCore™ SMS is a powerful and easy to use ActiveX Component that can be used in your Windows applications and ASP Web pages for mobile messaging using GSM mobile phones or GSM modems connected to serial port or infrared port. Using mCore in your applications allows you to:
- Send text messages
- Read incoming text messages
- Send WAP Push
- Set various messaging and network parameters (PIN, SMSC, Message Memory, etc.)
- Read modem and network information (Manufacturer, IMEI, Model, Signal Strength, etc.)
A rich set of properties, methods and its compatibility with wide range of GSM mobile phones and GSM modems makes mCore™ the best choice for any type of mobile messaging application.
The Project
It is not a core project and most intellectual peoples out there will think it as a newbie project but it is really a great playing tool for beginners. In the beginning, I found that I can download photos and upload applications with the Nokia PC Suite, I wondered how I could send SMS using my own program. After several Google searches, I found Nokia PC Suite Connectivity API 1.1. I was unable to use it properly because I have very little knowledge about the development suite. However, I began searching again. I came across AT commands. I was feeling like I was in the middle of MS DOS 6.2 age. The white window was distracting me a lot. I only wanted to send or receive SMS and do some magic with it. I was searching with all my fingers and all the keywords. I was searching for a .NET compliant thing that would ease my task.
At last I found mCore from here. I fell in love with the component. It was love at first sight and I eventually knew it was the right thing for my work. It had detailed help and a wonderful demo project. I began to tweak and made my first Quiz Server that was able to process and notify winners of a Quiz session daily.
The Quiz Server scans for users who sent SMS to get a question every day. At the end of the day, a random user is chosen among all the users who have given the correct answer.
The Ingredients
- Nokia phone with GSM modem
- Serial Cable
- mCore from here
The Procedure
- Start/Run the project by pressing F5 and wait infinitely after connecting.
- A user sends a SMS with QUES.
- The server scans each message and parses to find the request of question and sends the question of the day.
- If the user sends SMS with ANS A.
- The server records the answer. User cannot send several answers.
- At the end of the day, a random user is chosen and a prize SMS is sent to him/her.
The admin of the server can change the question of the day very easily.
The Core Code
In the following code, the server scans for all messages in the inbox and sends them to
ProcessSMS to parse and save the data. After the message has been parsed, the message is deleted.
private void GetMessageFromMobile() { objSMS.MessageMemory = SMS.EnumMessageMemory.SM; mCore.Inbox objInbox = objSMS.Inbox(); for (int i = 1; i <= objInbox.Count ; i++) { txtNumber.Text = objInbox.Message(i).Phone.ToString(); txtMessage.Text = objInbox.Message(i).Text.ToString(); bool status = ProcessSMS(txtNumber.Text, txtMessage.Text); if (status == true) { // Delete the Message that has already being parsed objSMS.Inbox().Message(i).Delete(); } } }
This part connects the application with the mobile. Make sure you know the Port number and the SMSC numbers. If you do not know the port name, go to the device manager in My Computer and see the properties in the GSM modem of your mobile phone.
private void btnConnect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { btnConnect.Enabled = false; objSMS.Port = "COM7"; objSMS.BaudRate = SMS.EnumBaudRate.BaudRate_115200; objSMS.DataBits = SMS.EnumDataBits.Eight; objSMS.Parity = SMS.EnumParity.None; objSMS.StopBits = SMS.EnumStopBits.One; objSMS.FlowControl = SMS.EnumFlowControl.None; objSMS.PIN = "1234"; objSMS.SMSC = "+880150159999"; objSMS.Connect(); lbxStatus.Items.Add(objSMS.Model + " Connected "); MyTimer.Interval = 10000; MyTimer.Start(); btnDisconnect.Enabled = true; } catch (Exception ex) { btnConnect.Enabled = true; MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()); } }
This timer scans for messages and processes the winner for the previous day. It also refreshes the inbox. Without refreshing the inbox, new messages will not be detected.
private void MyTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { Application.DoEvents(); if(objSMS.Inbox().Count > 0) { GetMessageFromMobile(); } ProcessWinner(); objSMS.Inbox().Refresh(); }
The Server in Action
Good things do not always come for free. I have used mCore which is not free of cost. It sends a message at the bottom of the real message with Powered by logixmobile.com at the end of each message sent. So if you don't want the message, please buy the component from logixmobile.com. You can also write the component by communicating with the serial port with any programming language. Well, that is another story. And, most important is, why invent wheels when it's already there.
Lastly, using a mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem to send SMS messages has a major drawback, that is the SMS sending rate is too low. Only 6-10 SMS messages can be sent per minute (when the "SMS over GSM" mode is used). The performance is not affected by the connection between the computer and the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem (i.e. the SMS sending rate is about the same no matter whether the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem is connected to the computer through a serial cable, USB cable, Bluetooth link or infrared link) and does not depend on whether a mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem is used (i.e. the SMS sending rate is about the same no matter if a mobile phone or a GSM/GPRS modem is used). The determining factor for the SMS sending rate is the wireless network.
This project will inspire people who have limited components to test and who want to use a SMS based server at home. This project will eventually lead novice programmers to build more useful and robust SMS based applications. I will refine the code or sort out the buggy things if someone wants to learn or share more of it. Till then, Ba-Bye.

Whether you like it or not, Kevin Durant is an NBA Champion and Finals MVP. I will not speak about my feelings on the move that he made to join the Golden State Warriors this past offseason because honestly, this is not the time to do that. Instead, I will talk about what is and what will result from that move. Although there were many that believed that the Warriors would have made it back to this year's Finals even with last year's roster, and possibly even still been the favorite, there is NO DOUBT, that Kevin Durant was a major upgrade over Harrison Barnes and made the gap between Cleveland and Golden State much wider. Kevin Durant had an all-time great performance in this NBA Finals. He averaged 35 points, eight rebounds, and five assists per game all while shooting 55% from the field; it was efficiency the likes of which we've rarely seen on display. Scoring at any time during the game seemed to come effortlessly to Durant, as we already knew it could. He was a mismatch NIGHTMARE for the Cavaliers as there was NO ONE, including LeBron James, that could stop KD from getting to whatever spot he wanted to on the court.
Kevin Durant also did not shrink in the moments when the pressure of the game was at its peak. Instead, he showed the poise and demeanor of a true champion. In Game 3 on Cleveland's home court, the Warriors were down two with thirty seconds left in the game. After a missed field goal by Cleveland, Kevin Durant came up with the rebound. Without looking to the sideline to his coach for a play, he calmly dribbled up court in rhythm, and with LeBron James (the player who people call Durant's kryptonite) waiting for him at the three point line, pulled up for a silky smooth three-point jumper that hit the bottom of the net to seal the deal for the Warriors. This is what we have wanted from Kevin Durant all along.
Whether you respect his decision to go to the Golden State Warriors or not, Durant validated his decision with his performance this postseason.
So What Happens Next?
The reason why NBA fans were upset with Kevin Durant for joining the Golden State Warriors is that in a league with, at best, five truly elite title contenders at a time, Durant left one contender and did not help form a new one. In addition to that, the team he joined had just beat his former team in the Western Conference Finals, in a series where Durant's team gave up a 3-1 lead. It felt as if Durant was hopping on the bandwagon of a championship team. His decision would swing the competitive balance so much in favor of the Warriors that barring injury; you already knew what the result would be.
Durant has already said that he is planning on taking a pay cut so that the Warriors can remain together. Stephen Curry is not planning on leaving either, which means the Warriors' core four of Curry, Thompson, Durant, and Green will remain intact for at least another two to three years. If they won a championship in their first go-around with each other, it is scary to imagine how the thought of how the chemistry is going to continue to develop amongst these players. The argument can be made that even though they won the Championship this season, we still haven't even seen the best that this group has to offer because at times Klay Thompson still looked like he had not fully adjusted to being the third scoring option on the team. If this Golden State Warriors team can reach another level, then we may very well truly be watching the greatest team of all time. Now, if there is any positive from this entire situation, it is that great teams cause great change. We see that by all of the rumors swirling around this offseason. General managers are being forced to try and gather as much talent as possible or try and gather pieces for the future.
Is There Anything That Can Be Done?
There are a lot of moving parts that will be shifted around this summer by way of the draft and free agency. The problem is as it currently stands, the moves that are being discussed serve to make things interesting possibly, but nothing that would remove Golden State as the definitive title favorite, outside of any injury. The San Antonio Spurs are rumored to be possibly interested in acquiring Chris Paul. The Spurs did hold a 23 point lead over the Warriors in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals before Kawhi Leonard, unfortunately, re-injured his ankle. So we cannot sneeze at the notion that Chris Paul going to the Spurs could have a serious impact. Even then, we would have to wait and see how Paul, who is a very ball-dominant point guard, plays under Coach Popovich, a coach that predicates ball movement in his system. Boston is discussing picking up Gordon Hayward and possibly trading the number one overall draft pick for a proven star like Jimmy Butler or Paul George. Let's be honest here though, forget the Warriors, are we even sure that move makes the Celtics better than the Cleveland Cavaliers?
The Celtics have to make the tough decision on whether they should mortgage their future in a "win-now" attempt that does not even guarantee they would be the best team in their conference. Speaking of Cleveland, the Cavaliers had to break the NBA Finals record for threes made in a game, and that was to beat the Warriors ONCE in their series. LeBron James, who is STILL the best player in the world, averaged a triple-double (first time it had ever been done in the NBA Finals) and it meant nothing because of all the firepower that Golden State contains. The rumors that have been swirling around the Cavaliers since the Finals involve everything from Kevin Love being traded to Carmelo Anthony somehow signing with the team for the veteran's minimum. Golden State also has Cleveland facing a double-edged sword in certain regards. As a team, the Cavaliers need to worry about trying to match the talent of the Warriors with limited cap flexibility, while at the same time, try to figure out whether LeBron will leave Cleveland again considering he has already fulfilled his promise of bringing a championship to his hometown team.
Long Story Short...
The Warriors are shifting the structure of the league because of their immense talent. They have been to the last three NBA Finals, and the core four of their team is smack dab in the middle of their prime and will not be going anywhere anytime soon. As long as this core remains intact, barring any unforeseeable trades or signings in the near future by other contenders, the Warriors will be heavily favored to get to AND WIN the Finals for at least the next three years. As much as I hate to jump to conclusions, ladies and gentlemen, we may have just entered the beginning stages of an NBA dynasty taking place in the Bay Area.
