Why do the Best Odds Matter when it Comes to Online Gambling?
It may be a somewhat obvious saying, but when it comes to dansk online casino the best odds really do matter. For online gamblers, there are two odds that really make them sit up and take notice of a casino.
Which Casino Online Offers the Best Payout to its Players?
When asking which casino online offers the best payout to its customers, there is so much to consider that finding an easy answer is impractical and maybe even impossible. The first thing to note is that many casinos share games,

Never regret a choice no matter how hard it is, in life there is no rewind or way to undo anything. What is done is done so there is no point in stressing about something that you did.
I believe you should analyze the opportunity and if it's good then you should take it. I like a very famous quote that says, "Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them." People often wait to see if a better opportunity comes, but they don't realize that opportunities don't last forever. Life changes in a matter of seconds, so I like to be alert.
Once you take the opportunity, if you mess up, there is always a way to recover from it. If you don't take it, there is no way to assure that you will have that opportunity again.
The thing that made me believe in taking opportunities is that I never got to meet my grandfather on my mother's side. Since I was little my mom was angry with him. Everytime he came to Vallarta, my mom would ask if I wanted to see him, and I always said no because I had the same stupid grudge my mom had. The years went by and I kept telling myself that my mom was going to forgive him and that my "stupid" grudge would go away. Unfortunately one day we got a phone call saying that he was in the hospital. I immediately knew that he was going to die and that I was never going to meet him. My mother went to México City to say goodbye and didn't take me because I had school. My prediction ended being correct, he died and I didn't even say hello to him once.
I learned that I have to take every opportunity, because once they are gone, you never get them back. And there is nothing harder in life than knowing that if you took that opportunity, everything would be different. Taking opportunities always pays off, no matter how risky they seem to be.
For example, when my father asked me if I wanted to go study abroad in England. I didn't think twice and I accepted the offer. I was going 9000 km away to a country that I had never been before and spoke a different language but I didn't care because I knew that I was never going to get that opportunity back. Thankfully it ended up being the best year of my life. I'm glad that I took that risk because I made friends all over the world, and I got to discover a whole new culture.
If life gave second chances, everyone would take them… but this is life and life doesn't give second chances. Therefore for the rest of my life I will analyze the opportunity and if it's slightly good, I will take it.

This little Palm Box has a few new features: The front, back and lid are one piece Figured Big Leaf Western Maple and mitered together, which means that the grain runs up and over front to back. But, before this was glued up I cut the S shape on the bandsaw, then I glued thin strips of Wenge on each face and covered the faces with masking tape to prevent them from sticking together and aligned it all and clamped it up tight for a few hours. No putty, no sanding. The Wenge strips were smooth to start with and the glue+ compression fills the little voids made by the bandsaws teeth pretty well. Just play around making practice cuts in a smooth flowing manner before hand. This is just like the sweeping inlay stringing I demonstrated on my Eye Candy box and is seen regularly now on LJ. The difference here is that there are two accent strips that are not glued together. They can even be of different woods.
I tapered the sides and front of the box on the bandsaw and sanded it all smooth with a very slight easing on the edges.
The lid is opened by pressing down on the back edge of the lid.
The hinge is the standard 1/8 brass rod.
The finish is Deft lacquer semi-gloss.

Wow.. such a simple looking piece, but very elegant. Another work of yours that will be copied by other LJ-ers for months to come! I imagine that if the center section was one piece of wood and you made sort of a sideways band saw box, that the cutoff from the inside could be used as the sides of the box..
Very nice

Such simple elegance! As always Andy, you made another box that looks simple yet complicated and beautiful! All your boxes are outstanding, but my favorite is your Dune Scape #1. It just took my breath away. As much as I would like to try making some boxes, I have yet to find a good supplier of beautiful wood. Would you mind sharing where you get your wood, Andy?

Roger Clemens, Crazy Man
|Screen capture from Keith Olbermann's blog post, "Ten Years After,"
in which the sports and political correspondent calls Clemens, "hopped up."
The government's second attempt to try Roger Clemens on charges of perjury, making false statements and obstruction of Congress began a week ago Monday, while Melvin and I were in Los Angeles.
I have waited for this day since last July, when I facetiously accused the prosecutors of intentionally causing a mistrial. In his opening statement yesterday, Rusty Hardin, Clemen's attorney, stated
"What guy ... would go to Congress and lie under oath, knowing what the consequences would be if he hadn't done it? What man, except a crazy man, does that?"

Castle, Ranch, Temple, Stadium
On Friday, Melvin and I continued south towards Los Angeles but then veered off into the high desert, ending up finally at a High Desert Mavericks baseball game. Before we got to the stadium, we visited a castle, a ranch and a temple.

Streets of Bakersfield
When planning our trips, Melvin and I consult many sources, including real live people we actually know. It turns out we both know folks who had lived in Bakersfield, land of the free and home of the Blaze, the third baseball team we saw on this trip.
Asked what we should see while we were in town, a co-worker of Melvin's provided the address of where she grew up and suggested we could visit her childhood home. Sarah, the roommate of a bartender I know, told me she moved there for six months to be with a boyfriend. Love conquers all, but not life in Bakersfield.
So my pulse quickened when I came across "Origin of Country," an article in the March 9, 2012 special travel section of the New York Times. Sadly, it only mentioned attractions I had already read about.

The Soul of Wit?
En route from Fresno to Bakersfield we made a stop in Visalia. Ordinarily, I'd regale you with tales of our visit to that stadium, but truth be told most of what there is to say has already been covered at Baseball Stadium Reviews, right down to the rudeness of the fans and the coolness of Tipper the Cow. It is worth underlining that this is perhaps the most awkwardly laid-out stadium there is. (See above, which captures only part of it.)
We had front-row seats that were perhaps a little too close to the extensive netting.
Prior to the game we had spectacular salt-and-pepper shrimp at Pho N Seafood. That's about all I can say about Visalia. In truth, my head was still spinning from Fresno.

Hello, PBID Partners of Downtown Fresno. How are you, PBID Partners of Downtown Fresno? I figure you're tech-savvy enough to have a Google alert set up for yourself, PBID Partners of Downtown Fresno, so I'm glad we have this opportunity to talk. (While Rob and I agree on many things on this blog, I'm speaking only for myself here.)
For those readers of this blog unfamiliar with the PBID Partners of Downtown Fresno, let me introduce you. Readers, PBID Partners of Downtown Fresno is a Property-based Business Improvement District and perhaps better known as "Downtown Fresno," though that seems to be a bit of a misnomer.

It's All Nancy Pelosi's Fault
...like so much else in this country.
I took Tuesday morning off and Melvin at least didn't have to answer for other people's decisions and mistakes. We left for Fresno around 2:00, passing in route many signs critical of current water regulations. It took us four hours to get to the Central Valley city, leaving us just enough time for Laotian food and a baseball game between the Fresno Grizzlies and the Reno Aces.

Three Days in L.A.
Beginning in 2007, Melvin and I have generally included a spring baseball road trip to the south in our schedule. What started as avoiding uncomfortably hot weather took a turn with our April 2010 trip to the Gulf States. While Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana would unquestionably get quite hot later in the baseball season, we constructed our itinerary around an annual conference being held in New Orleans.
The convention determined our destination again last year, but we ended up some place that is cold in April. Melvin has worked the industry get-together all three years. I attended the convention in New Orleans but did not last year, although I stayed in the conference hotel. This year I came to the host city while the conference was going on but spent the weekend on my own (above).

Reading List
If this was a more traditional blog, Melvin and I would post more often, and that would mean a constant search for new content. The easiest way to populate a blog with content is to comment on, or maybe just take note of, someone else's content.
There was just such an opportunity yesterday. "To celebrate the return of baseball," the New York Times asked some of its staff "to recommend their favorite fiction or nonfiction books that revolve around the sport." The selections appeared on page C4 of the local print edition and since they do not appear to have been published online, perhaps I actually serve a purpose by regurgitating them here.

Who We Serve
For our firm and for us as practicing professionals, we prefer the simplicity and clarity of a fee-only client relationship. We find that clients who gravitate to us feel the same way. In fairness to other practitioners within the financial planning profession, we feel that the manner of compensation does not define the ethics of an individual professional—that is displayed in the individual's actions and deeds. We respect a number of experienced and qualified financial planning practitioners who receive commission income for part or all of their compensation. However, as stated above, we feel the fee-only approach puts our clients more at ease and allows them to avoid any doubts about whose team we are on.
Investment Management Clients
Some people are comfortable going it alone—assuming the burden of making their own financial decisions and investment selections and doing their own account monitoring. The other people—who feel more comfortable allowing an experienced professional remove that burden from them and make those decisions with or for them—are our investment management clients.
Most of our clients seek not just answers to specific financial questions, but also the security, freedom, and leisure that financial success can bring. Most of our clients are people who don't have the time, training, or inclination to manage their own investments without help. Most are either too busy with work or too busy enjoying the hard-earned fruits of their labor accumulated during their career. Other clients need help resolving financial issues and need an advisor who will give independent and objective advice.
Some of our clients have recently retired and are faced with the important decision of rolling over their 401(k) plan into an IRA. They don't want to make mistakes with a career's worth of retirement savings meant to provide for a secure retirement.
Some of our clients have recently received an inheritance and want that legacy received to be preserved and invested for the needs and future of the client.
Financial Planning Clients
Those clients seeking financial planning services are looking for guidance and answers to personal financial issues and desire a limited, hourly engagement to resolve these issues.
Typical issues include hourly investment advice, retirement planning, tax planning, college funding, and many other situation-specific issues as presented. Many of the areas of financial planning are inter-related. A decision about how to save for retirement could be an issue all its own—like how much savings is needed, or to calculate the expected level of retirement income. However, it is also likely to be connected to investment alternatives available as well as the client's tax picture.
Clients seeking investment advice may be looking for help evaluating investment alternatives. Other clients in this category may want us to review and evaluate their current holdings and make recommendations to improve performance or reduce risk.

We just got back from snowskiing in Utah and man. it. was. freaking. cold.
We had a blast though, but first, CHRISTMAS.
This was the best Christmas yet. Winslow was SOOOOOOOOOOO stinkin' cute to watch as he ooed and ahhed over his new play kitchen, his tricycle, and his new land of nod chair.
We spent the day relaxing, I made a yummy dinner of meatloaf, sweet potatoes, corn pudding, rolls and steamed broccoli. Oh yeah, with my great grandma Haley's pound cake. We ate almost the whole entire cake in 3 days. Opps.
Went on a long walk around the neighborhood with the tricycle, wore shorts and tank tops and couldn't believe we had 85 degree weather on Christmas day.
Enjoy the zillion pictures. I couldn't narrow it down.
Man, Christmas is so fun. But it is also easy to overbuy even when they are young. Last year, we decided to do four gifts :Something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read. I am glad we are doing this because it cuts out the "too many gifts" thing. Also, when W gets old enough to know about Santa, we will decide what to do in that realm.
My dad got him the Land of Nod char and I got the tricycle from Goodwill for $8.99! So pumped about that one. I also got the big tonka truck for $2.99 from Goodwill.

I was introduced to the blog world yesterday by a workmate and would like the opportunity to show some photographs that will hopefully be of interest to those looking in. I have taken photographs for many years but was dragged kicking and screaming into the digital age during 2009.
I'm not sure how this is going to develop but I hope this particular journey of crossing this bridge and future experiences are pleasurable for both the viewer and contributor alike.

Hi J....finally found you. Welcome to the world of blogging. It is such good fun and I know you will meet some lovely people along the way. I will add you to my blogroll. Den xReplyDelete
Congratulations on post number 50! I've been scrolling through and you have soe wonderful photos of beautiful and interesting places. I'm especially keen because they are north. I like north :)ReplyDelete
H... Thanks for your patience that you have shown by looking through all my posts... respect to you, hope you had an enjoyable journey here. Apart from the accommodation for the mountaineering trips, I had no idea how the second half of the year was going to take shape. 50 is not a great number but I wanted document the pleasures and traumas of the post title. I'll be having a look at your pages again soon.ReplyDelete

Rigaku Publishes New Application Report
Product News Nov 20, 2012
Rigaku Corporation has published a new application report highlighting the performance of the Rigaku Supermini200, the world's only benchtop wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer and the latest in a series of revolutionary compact WDXRF systems from Rigaku.
Application Note #5044 details the analysis of petroleum-based fuels for low concentrations of sulfur by benchtop WDXRF.
The new method complies with ASTM D2622 - 10: Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry.
Sulfur in petroleum-based fuels contributes to atmospheric pollution. Sulfur content in fuels is strictly controlled and regulation of sulfur content in fuels, including diesel fuel and gasoline, has been tightened.
The accurate measurement of sulfur content in fuel oil is, therefore critical, for refineries. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is used for quantitative analysis of sulfur in petroleum-based fuels, due to its simple sample preparation requirements.
The new application note covers sample preparation, method calibration and repeatability, and demonstrates that low concentration sulfur in petroleum-based fuel can be routinely analyzed with excellent accuracy, sensitivity and repeatability using a benchtop WDXRF spectrometer with minimal site requirements.
For this application, four milliliters of each sample was poured into a standard liquid cell. "Number 2 diesel fuel" standards were used for calibration of diesel fuel, gasoline and kerosene.
Two aliquot quantities of the sample were prepared and quantified with the calibration. The process was repeated twenty times.
The Rigaku Supermini200 benchtop WDXRF system, which can be plugged into a standard wall receptacle and does not require cooling of the X-ray tube or the power supply, is shown to meet specifications of the test method.

Eighth, eighth, eighth – I can't believe when I'm writing these words – but yes, the eighth edition of Wachlarz is over. We don't like reviewing events we organise amd we're not going to. But there are some things we would like to discuss. It's hard to call this entry a summary so don't treat it like one. But if you'd like to get into the organisers' heads – come on.
Skupimy się tylko na czterech rzeczach, które w jakiś sposób były kluczowe dla tej edycji i najbardziej determinowały naszą pracę.
Let's start with the opening. Less than two weeks before Wachlarz we wrote to Marcin Mossakowski, the presenter at the last Wachlarz and asked him to make a movie to open the meeting with. Marcin just arrived from some trip, he quickly got what we wanted and started working on the film. We wanted to take advantage of the fact that this time the meeting takes place in a cinema and start it with a sort of introduction to a movie. But we didn't expect to see a thing like the one Marcin produced:
The lights went out in the room, there was no official introduction – the movie played and then we entered the stage. The audience reacted the same way we did – they liked it:) They liked it so much that we played it once again in the end. It's all about the details and we're very happy that we can make Wachlarz look better with little things like that. And by the way, I have already spoken with Marcin and we're planning a separate set of cinematics for 2016 edition.
This time we didn't feel like organising Wachlarz in Warsaw for the eighth time. We made it and organised Wachlarz in another city and this way started its tour through Poland. Next one will surely take place somewhere else, but we won't tell you where just yet. Two cities are in the finals and we should be able to tell you the winner by September.
However for me (Kuba) it was a dream to organise something in my hometown and I'm happy that I was able to do it quite quick, only a few years after I got the thought.
The subject and the power of opposites
Last year Wachlarz was divided into four blocks all of which had travel in the name. This time we arranged it a bit different. There were three blocks – Think, Create and Travel.
Curation. That's an important keyword for us. Even though there's still 11 months left until Wachlarz 2016 takes place, we already know that 20 people will present and there are 48 possible names. What's the most important for us is what the speaker can say.
It was the same this time. We selected the speakers carefully to make them fit the expected spot on the programme. Sometimes it was difficult – our schedules didn't match and we were tempted to invite someone else who was cool too but not so fit to this particular slot. But we still managed to close the line-up feeling satisfied. We also added a discussion panel – blogger, reporter, traveller. A link to the very first editions which were conversations after all. The panel combined the Think and Create blocks.
Opposites. Sometimes the things the speakers want to say sound more powerful if you put them next to contrary or at least slightly different opinions. We had a few situations like that during this year's Wachlarz. And we felt pressure rising in the room – but a positive one that made us all think. And that's important because the event is called Wachlarz which means diversity and wide range and not 'THE SAME STUFF ALL OVER AGAIN'.
New societies
And right here we get to the most important thing, a departure from the 'travel meetings' subtitle. That's because it's no longer like that, Wachlarz lives its own life and opens to non-travel worlds related to reporting and internet. Thanks to that we hosted people like Arlena Witt, Paulina Mikuła, Piotr Andrusieczko or Filip Springer this year.
To end with
Check the video summary made by Piotrek Michalak:
Next Wachlarz will take place on 21st May 2016 w… ;) If you're feeling restless, you can already buy your tickets – the motto is 'Unknown Worlds' this time ;)
Thank you all for your attendance, nice words and filling the surveys – that helps us create and even better event! Hey!

Three Suicide Blasts in Iraq Kill 20
AP -- Three suicide car bombings killed 20 people in northern Iraq on Thursday, including a top municipal council leader and a bodyguard of Iraq's Kurdish deputy prime minister, officials said.
At least 12 people were killed in a massive explosion targeting a restaurant in Tuz Khormato, near Kirkuk, where bodyguards of Iraq's Kurdish deputy prime minister, Rowsch Nouri Shaways, were eating.
'I was sitting inside my restaurant when about six cars parked nearby and their passengers came inside and ordered food,' said restaurant owner Ahmed al-Dawoudi. 'Seconds later, I heard a big explosion and the restaurant was turned into twisted wreckage and rubble. Blood and pieces of flesh were everywhere.'
In Kirkuk itself, a suicide car bomber killed four Iraqi bystanders while targetting a convoy of Toyota Land Cruisers carrying civilian contractors. A US soldier also died of non-battle-related wounds the military said. Further south in Baqouba, another suicide bomber killed four people, including Hussein Alwan al-Tamimi, 41, deputy head of Iraq's northeastern Diyala provincial council.
A US Marine was killed when a roadside bomb struck the vehicle he was traveling in Wednesday near Ramadi.

The cake may be a lie but this deal is 100% legit and has to be the best offer I have ever seen, ever ever!
Until the 24th of May, Steam are offering the super awesome, fantastic Portal for just £0.00!
Portal is one of the smartest and most witty games I have ever played, not to mention fantastically fun to play. It's full of awesome little touches — at this (lack of) price it would be worth downloading for the brilliant ending-song alone.
The script is fantastic, and the computer voice which delivers it inspired. To succeed in the game you have to place yourself entirely into Portal Mode. It can seem very tricky at first but once you get the hang of the puzzle style you'll be zipping through the dimensions and finding yourself unable to get out of Portal Mode even when your computer is nowhere in sight.
There's only really one down-side to this gem and that is that it is short. Really short. Even taking into account the special levels unlocked once you complete the main game, it's unlikely to last you longer than a few hours, unless you really suck at it. But considering that it was originally released as part of the Orange Box and now you can get your mitts on it for absolutely nothing, it seems churlish to pout too much at its brevity. Let's just hope that Portal 2 will last a little longer.
Thanks to skipster3000 at Hotukdeals!

People are always out shopping for cars and one of the biggest problems is not having enough cash to down pay or enough money to even afford the car. When you're at the dealership and dealing with the finance manager, you're going to get a few options in order to pick up the car on the spot. Before even starting, they will run a credit check on you, to see where you stand. Depending on your credit, your interest rate will vary. If you have good credit than you're more than likely qualify for a low interest rate. If you have bad credit than it might be a little difficult to get what you want. There are tons of auto loan companies including banks, which will give out car loans to people who are buying new or used vehicles. There are a few things you might have to consider before even going to the dealership which will be explained in this article.
You may be qualified for a 10000 loan or even a 20000 loan, depending on your income or credit score. Many people who doesn't have good credit, but have a good stable job can easily qualify for this type of loan. Before even going to the dealership, you should know what your credit score is. You should calculate your current earnings and see how much money you can afford to pay monthly. All the prior research on your credit will save everyone's time greatly. Most of the time spent at the dealership is negotiating and figuring out how much money you can afford monthly. Even if your credit isn't good, you can still qualify for a 10000 car loan because the car itself will be used as collateral. To get a better interest rate, your best bet would to bring along someone with good credit to cosign.
If you're purchasing a new car or a used car, a 10000 car loan APR will differ. The interest rate on a 10000 loan will be lower on a new car mainly because the value of the car is much higher. Depending on how many months you negotiate with the finance manager to pay off the car, will correspond on how much you pay monthly. Once both parties have agreed on the amounts and rates, you can pick up the car right there and then. The only thing left is to get a one month insurance on the car to take it off the parking lot. If you don't know any car insurance during that time, they can provide you with one and set you up with a car insurance company. It would be a good idea to later find your own auto insurance if you're able to find a price cheaper than what the dealership offered you.

Reading some of the best mattress reviews from the experts in the industry can be an eye opening experience, The further you read, the more you will be convinced that the best mattresses are not only limited to the most popular or expensive brands, once in a while youll come across some comfortable but cheap mattresses. Some mattress reviews are pre-designed to promote mattress brands but deliver them in the not -so-obvious manner. The truly independent mattress reviews should be free from advertisements and covers mattresses from the highly luxurious to cheap mattresses regardless of brands and makers. The best mattress reviews usually focus their attention on the matter at hand. Any specific references to a mattress product and brand anywhere on the article written can be bias, unless the title includes the mattress review tag, next or after the brand name or if the article is covering more than one brand. Still, the best resources when you are looking for the best mattress are these mattress reviews. Although the task is gigantic. Having a good plan on how to get there is the best approach. Here are some pointers that might help you find the mattress that suit your personal needs bests.
Futons. Futons are an Asian invention. They are normally made from multiple layers of fibre or cotton. In the UK they are popular with younger people who are on a very tight budget as they are very affordable. The mattresses can be used on the floor or a frame can be purchased to make it more of a bed.
More and more mattress companies are manufacturing customizable mattresses. This allows consumers to specify such things as mattress firmness and the type of latex used to create their individual sleep system. These are just a few benefits of buying an organic mattress. There is no better time to improve your quality of sleep than today!Manufacturers are permitted to advertise their products as "organic" as long as some of the materials used to make them have been certified organic, under strict U.S. guidelines. Organic wool is one of the most beneficial materials used in a natural mattress. It is hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant. This aids in the reduction of allergens in the air. It is also naturally flame resistant and complies with the 2007 ruling, requiring that all mattresses sold in the United States be fire retardant. This fabric also helps to relieve pressure points, while you sleep, reducing the frequency in which you toss and turn. It is a natural insulator of both heat and cold, which aids in keeping your body temperature at a comfortable level.

I always make a giant list of resolutions for the new year in hopes that I will manage to live up to one or two of them, therefore having a "successful" resolution. Last year's list had one that I kept all year (Stop storing food on top of the fridge. It's tacky) and several that I at least kept in mind all year (No sweats in public. Stop allowing fingernails to look like those of a deranged cannibal.) This year I only have five. Since one of them involves you, dear almost non-existent readers, I will share them.
1. Blog at least once per week and share existence of blog with people. IRL and otherwise.
2. Stop wearing sweats in public. (So worth doing, I'm recycling it from last year although it's darn tempting to run out to Food Giant in my yoga pants and a hoodie.)
3. One soda per day (I was down to one Diet Mtn. Dew during my IVF cycle and then chucked my progress out the window. Stupid move on my part.)
4. Eat slowly.
5. Keep a journal with the following information daily (idea from Pinterest): Peaks, Pits, Prayers, and Praises

Hi All, I tested this site for visual disabilities and the design held up at a 28 point font and the colour combo was used by other major sites for the visually impaired. However, the organization and I are curious about the following: The colours and font that are on the site, are they accessible for Assistive devices and for persons with visual disabilities? What do you think? Here is a test page to look at: http://www.entrepreneurdisability.org Can I do better? How would you change it? Thanks for the feedback LisaReceived on Friday, 8 November 2002 09:23:27 UTC

Banbury United boss Mike Ford admitted he was relieved to see his strikers start to deliver Saturday's Emirates FA Cup victory at Dorchester Town.
Felipe Barcelos struck twice and Ricky Johnson got the other goal in United's 3-0 victory in the first qualifying round tie.
Strikers get paid to finish and they've not been doing that recently but on Saturday they didPuritans boss Mike Ford
He said: "Strikers get paid to finish and they've not being doing that recently but on Saturday they did.
"I decided to change the shape of the side because we needed to be more difficult to beat, we had to wise up a bit.
Now Ford can look forward to a second qualifying round tie at Cirencester Town later this month.
He said: "It's a draw which both clubs will be happy with. Cirencester will be happy with a home draw but I feel it is a tie we can win.
"I was just happy to be in the hat for the next round because I hadn't realised just how poor the club's record in the competition was."
The Puritans now face two difficult Evo-Stik Southern League away games in the space of four days.
Saturday's trip to Kettering Town is followed by a longer midweek trip to current premier division leaders Chippenham Town three days later.
Ford added: "We've got two hard away games before the next round. They are games we won't be expected to get anything from.
"Our budget is a million miles away from our next opponents Kettering so we have to cut our cloth accordingly. But we'll go into both games with more confidence after Saturday's success."

Days of hot dry weather and temperatures near 100 degrees build in the Texas Panhandle and over western Oklahoma. Across central and eastern Oklahoma moisture streamed northward from the Gulf of Mexico. A volatile combination that sat for days ready to explode, but capped by a warm layer of air at 10,000 feet in the atmosphere. On June 13th a jet stream system entered the southern plains breaking the cap and lighting off powerful rotating thunderstorms.
The image of the storm shows circular banding extending up the south side of the supercell as it spins its way into the western sections of Oklahoma City. Chasers called it "The Mothership." It has already produced one tornado near El Reno and would spin up many more in the next hour.
All images and text © copyright Gene Moore unless otherwise indicated.
Under the storm the lowered base is part of the broad mesocyclone that engulfs almost all of the storm. It spins cyclonically as it crosses Lake Hefner. A tornado formed over the lake sending up a spray vortex and crashing ashore damaging a marina and boats. Some argue the tornado was not down on the lake, but it could not be seen from the east looking west through the sunlight. The spray vortex was easily seen from the west looking east through.
Things began to happen very fast just east of Lake Hefner. This funnel formed rapidly to my northwest while the southwest side of the storm continued to rotate. This funnel may have been northwest of Lake Hefner in open country. The time was about 7:50 CDT.
At 8:00 debris fills the southwestern sky (not shown) as a
tornadic funnel forms to the west. Dodging multiple vortices on the ground is
not fun. A hasty move to the north was made after firing off a quick shot in
the shopping center parking lot. During this time an elongated area of rotation
extends for about two miles across the western sky.
At the time of this image strong rotation becomes organized in
one area of the storm. The tornadic funnel passed to the south of my position. Two trips
were made up the rip-rap to carry equipment to the top. Light damage was
beginning to my south at this time. This is about one mile before it hit the
WKY tower. The tornado maintained this shape when it hit the
While shooting video during the first few minutes the driving rain wedges into the camera shorting out the battery. The still cameras are soaked, but still work. The wall cloud tightened up and become visually concentric.
The tornadic circulation continued to tighten as the rotational
speed increased. The strong winds were beginning to let up at my location and
the rain was reduced to intermittent curtains.
The tornado continued on its path across the city now about 2 miles west of Frontier City Amusement Park and I-35.
The tornado
extended a condensation funnel to ground at this time. It continued to do
damage. This is probably one of the strongest periods in the life of the
tornado. The damage was concentrated under the tightly wound funnel. The
structure around the top of the tornado is a collar cloud and the outer skirt
of rotating clouds is probably depicting the outer edge of intense part of the
wall cloud.
The funnel loses the condensation to ground, but the damage continued as the circulation remained strong. During this phase of the tornado the damage path became wider, but less intense. I believe it's very near or just on the other side of I-35.
This extreme wide angle shows the tail cloud entering the storm from the southwest and areas of isolated precipitation south and southeast of the tornado.
At this time the tornado was reduced to a small
rotating cylinder under the
wall cloud. A short funnel extended out of the collar cloud. Damage continued
under the circulation east of I-35.

I just came in from cutting down a tree. Not just any tree mind you. This one was huge, a foot and a half across. I'm not sure how old it was but it was old enough that it had moss growing on it. If this tree had been anywhere else poets might have chained themselves to it to save its life but in this case it was on my land and in my way and I have plenty more. It was in my way so I cut it down.
I'm feeling pretty feisty nowadays. We're about to have a woman president and stuff like that always makes a girl feel powerful. I used to say that there's nothing like a chainsaw to make a woman feel powerful but now we'll have a president to make us feel even better.
I'm tired of this election being about some buffoon with bad manners when it should be about an historic moment when we elect our first woman to be in charge of our country. And one of the reasons it burns me up is that it takes the glory away from so many of my female predecessors who have waited for this moment --waited patiently, followed all the rules, found a woman who has put in her time, served two terms as a Senator, served as the Secretary of State and been found to be qualified by every endorsing entity out there. We have been patient. We have followed the rules. It's our turn.
I've been driving around with a Clinton bumper sticker on my car for two years, folks. I've been pulled over by the cops three times, rear-ended once and had someone dent the hood of my car with their fist in the Walmart parking lot. I have displayed the composure of a saint through it all—after all, Hillary's reputation is being tied to my own good manners. I represent the countless women who have been ignored and abused for no reason. Like generations of women before us we have been conditioned to keep our cool.
It's nothing more than a gesture but it will be a way of having them there with me, allowing them to be part of this historic moment. I feel like I somehow owe it to those women to take their names with me as I mark my ballot this year. When I step up to vote this year they will go with me.
Let me tell you who I will be thinking of when I mark my ballot to elect a woman to lead our country for the first time in history:
I will be thinking of Ann Richards, Molly Ivins, Barbara Jordan, Eleanor Roosevelt, Abigail Adams, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Sacagaweja, Anita Hill, Coretta Scott King and Helen Kelsoe.
You've probably heard of most of those women except for Helen Kelsoe. She was our neighbor across the street who mentored me as a young girl. She was a strong woman who worked as a legal secretary and hosted the neighborhood rug rats at her house when I was growing up. After my mother died when I was a teenager she was a good source of estrogen wafting over me when I needed it. She showed me how a strong woman can take control of her life and not whine about things. She taught me to think about the world and God and a lot of complicated things. She also taught me to think twice before you try to fix your refrigerator door by taking it apart yourself because if there are tiny springs involved you will never get that sucker put back together.
As I cast my vote I will remember my grandmother Fannie Anderson Stuart, who always voted the way Tom told her and never learned how to drive a car but did have her own checking account, a radically progressive thing for women in 1940.
And my great grandmother, Jane Hash Stuart, who was informed at lunchtime by her husband to ready the family for a trip from Texas to California and was good to go by the next morning, earning her the nickname I have inherited with honor, "Janie Go."
I will remember my other grandmother Bertha Kolb Kuhn who supported herself and two children as a widow before social security was invented.
I'll think of Beaven's grandmothers, Hattie Eiseman Els and Oma Fox Foster whose major claims to his memory are the food they cooked. Neither one could drive or owned property in their own name.
I'll remember my mother, Mildred Kuhn Stuart who never owned a car in her name and got terribly excited the one time she bought a pair of slacks. A pair of slacks, folks. Not jeans. Slacks. One pair.
Beaven's mother, Blanche Foster Els, often frustrated by the male hierarchy of the Els family, who briefly had a business of her own alongside the family business
I only get to vote for the first female president once. I don't want this opportunity to slip through my fingers. I want to do it right this time. It's the only chance I'll get.
Send me your mother's name – I'd like to take her name with me. I will update this list here on my blog and on the list I take to the voting booth.
Here's a few names I've already gathered: I'll update the list as you send me names. Include maiden name, please.

THE AGONIST: Behind-The-Scenes Footage From 'Prisoners' Photo Shoot
Montreal, Quebec, Canada-based photographer Von Wong has posted behind-the-scenes video footage from the photo shoot for THE AGONIST's forthcoming album, "Prisoners". Check out the four-minute clip below.
Commented Wong: "Alissa [White-Gluz, vocals] from THE AGONIST contacted me two weeks before shoot deadline to ask me if we could put together some sort of crazy shoot. After an hour of crazy brainstorming, we managed to pull together an insane fight concept that we put together in one week (leaving one more week for retouching)! We pulled our resources together and managed to whip up in a week: A garage to shoot in, destructible clothing, and all the random objects you see lying around (fire hydrant, couch, etc…). Alissa did the makeup/rips for all the boys, giving me a good three hours to set up a crazy 10-light-or-so setup. Oh, and that exploding glass behind her head in the shot? Yah, that's real. We exploded some neon lights for the shoot."
THE AGONIST's new song "Ideomotor" can be streamed using the SoundCloud player below (courtesy of GuitarWorld.com ). The track comes off the band's long-awaited third studio album, "Prisoners", which is scheduled for releaase on June 5 (one day earlier internationally) via Century Media Records. Produced by Christian Donaldson (CRYPTOPSY) and mixed by Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, DARK TRANQUILLITY, SUICIDE SILENCE), the CD "picks right up where 2009's 'Lullabies For The Dormant Mind' left off, with soaring melodies over complex metal passages that fans of thinking-man's metal can appreciate," according to a press release.
In a recent interview with MetalConcerts.net, Alissa White-Gluz stated about the musical direction of the follow-up to 2009's "Lullabies For A Dormant Mind", "I wouldn't say it's heavier or more melodic. I think it sounds more mature. It has the same sort of schizophrenic side that 'Lullabies' has, but it also has some other I guess what you would call classic influences. Like, there's some PANTERA influence, there's some RADIOHEAD influence. I mean, there's a lot of influences that we didn't really have before."
"Lullabies For A Dormant Mind" debuted at No. 105 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

As I was preparing to recycle a couple of boxes (Huggies diapers and Kirkland brand wipes), I was struck with an idea. I could make the Blue Mountain Quarry for Elijah to play with!
So, those two boxes + a lot of duct tape + a couple of sheets of scrapbook paper + a couple of images from the internet (thanks, Google) + answering "is it done yet?" a thousand times =
The Blue Mountain Quarry!
It comes complete with two tunnels, an unbroken bridge (per Elijah's request), ramps to get to the second level, Owen and Merrick images, and paper rocks.
Elijah loves it! I love that he loves it! However, I hate that it always ends up in the kitchen! I'm constantly stepping over or stepping on trains while making breakfast...and lunch...and dinner :)
It's funny how crafting changes once you're a mom. I used to spend my crafting time making things to wear or to decorate my house. Now, I make toys. It makes me smile to see how happy a couple of boxes and some time on my part makes my kid. Totally worth the time!

Heathkit was the brand name of radio kits and other electronic products that were created and marketed by the Heath company between 1947 and 1992. These kits provided amateur ham radio operators with the parts and components needed to assemble their own radios.
Heathkits were popular with radio operators interested in building their own equipment and could be purchased at a lower cost than commercially produced devices. The Heath Company was created in 1912 by Edward Bayard Heath. Originally founded as an aircraft company, The Heath Company entered the electronics industry after World War II and introduced its first electronics kit, an oscilloscope, in 1947.

Astronomer Heino Falcke has recently wrote a nice post on the relation between science, dissemination of scientific results and social media.
The post was triggered by the recent debate on the BICEP2 results and contains interesting advices on the new role that scientists and journalists should learn to have in the era of Facebook.
"Science is wrong, most of the time" – I am not sure who said that first, but I am sure someone did so well before me. This is a banality for those who do science at the forefront of our knowledge, yet sometimes it seems very difficult to also accept that view in the public discourse. Well, in the days of Facebook and Twitter it is plain obvious to everyone.

Gosh time flies.
Has it been almost two months since an update? Oh, well. I've got a few things to add in the next few days, including lots of rare lyrics and tabs courtesty of Rob and some nice photos of Burt sent in by Alberto. The prospect of Napster shutting down last Friday got me fired up enough to do some furious downloading, and one of the first things I looked for was this lovely rendition of "This Guy's In Love with You" sung by Noel Gallagher with Burt accompanying.

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." John 8:32
Lucifer, the False Prophet, and Satan - have created an up side down world - good is evil and evil is good. They want you to think that all you have to do to be taken to Heaven is to believe in Jesus and nothing more. Jesus requires works - works are following the commandments of the God of Abraham. Do not let pastors trained by Homeland security to convince you that you only need to believe in Jesus and you will be saved. Do not believe pastors that tell you that there are no works you can do to save your soul from Satan's grasp. Obeying God's commandments are Works!Read the King James original version with the Apocrypha:2 Esdras 13:16, "For as I conceive in mine understanding, woe unto them that shall be left in those days. And MUCH MORE WOE unto them that are NOT left behind."2 Esdras 13:20, "Yet it is easier for him that is in danger to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world and NOT SEE the things that happen in the last days."2 Esdras 13:22, "Whereas thou has spoken of them that are left behind, this is the interpretation."2 Esdras 13:23, "He that shall endure the peril in that time hath kept himself...(Kept himself means saved his soul from Lucifer and Satan - - BY KEEPING THE COMMANDMENS OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM - and not believe their deceit that all you need do is believe in God. You MUST KEEP His Commandments or your soul will be lost to Lucifer and Satan!)...they that be fallen into danger are such as have WORKS (keeping His Commandments), and FAITH towards Almighty."The purpose of the Rapture Deception is so you will not endure during the Tribulation - so that you will lose hope, turn from God - and lose your soul. This is God's test, God harvesting out those who deserve Heaven.2 Esdras 13:24, "Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are MORE BLESSED than they that be dead."
On Sept. 15, 2015, Jade Helm 15 will end after they have established ties with Americans who will spy on their neighbors; Sept. 23rd the False Prophet will visit Obama; Sept. 24th the False Prophet will speak before Joint U.S. Congress to ask for a Carbon Tax law and tax on miles driven by car; on Sept. 25th the False Prophet will speak before the United Nations - for the official launching, signing, and opening day for the post 2015 Sustainable Development Agenda - NWO contract already agreed upon by world leaders; on Sept. 28th, the Feast of Tabernacles, there will be the 4th Super Blood Moon - what warning will be given the Israelites/Americans - perhaps that Saudi Prince Talal is the Anti-Christ and will make a peace agreement with the State of Israel because of Obama's Iran nuclear give-a-way?

People will take what they want to take from American Sniper, director Clint Eastwood's latest film. Already it has turned into an ideological war to be won or lost, rather than a fictionalized biopic to be debated.
It's the most divisive movie on screens at the moment, and it appears to have caught a wave of desire among audiences—conservative, liberal, centrist—to return to stories of nerve-wracking wartime heroism in varying degrees of truth and fiction, from Fury to Unbroken. American Sniper is reverent and slippery. You don't have to know much about the real Navy SEAL marksman Chris Kyle (1974-2013) to wonder if it's telling the whole truth about him.
With Unforgiven, The Bridges of Madison County (one of the best films ever made from a lousy book) and Letters From Iwo Jima at the crest, and decades of ups and downs beneath it, Eastwood's career behind the camera has veered in continually unexpected directions. Yet his work, like that of any auteur worth his salt, expresses different aspects of a single personality, in Eastwood's case a plain-spoken but wary personality.
The phrase "Eastwood war movie" has come to mean … what, exactly? Can you draw a line from the cockamamie Grenada invasion-set Heartbreak Ridge to the mournful Flags of Our Fathers to his latest, American Sniper?
And yet it's there to be drawn. Warriors who keep their heads down and do their jobs and derive a kind of noble purity from the lethal work they do: These are some of Eastwood's most admired heroes. If psyches and bodies crack under the strain, there's nobility, too, in watching the struggle, even if the struggle is to keep the worst hidden away, leaving the anguish to other souls, other moviemakers.
Eastwood and screenwriter Jason Hall introduce us to Kyle shrewdly and well. We're on a rooftop somewhere in Iraq, watching the man who became the deadliest sniper in U.S. history (160 confirmed bodies, another 95 unconfirmed) as he watches for insurgents out to kill the occupying U.S.-led coalition forces. Kyle, played by Bradley Cooper with a convincing Texas accent, spies a local woman slip a huge grenade into a young boy's fearful hands. The boy eyes the U.S. soldiers a few hundred yards away. Kyle has seconds to pull the trigger. It's not really a moral dilemma because, as Eastwood films it, there's no question these "savages" (Kyle's word) are up to no good. Still, the film's first depiction of two of Kyle's confirmed kills comes at a cost. This isn't what Kyle imagined or hoped for.
A childhood flashback interrupts the flow of the introductory scene. We see Kyle deer hunting with his father. "You've got a gift. You're going to make a fine hunter someday," he's told, and the moment carries a hushed, churchlike quality. Over dinner, Kyle's father informs him he was "blessed with the gift of aggression … the need to protect the flock."
From there, American Sniper rolls forward, as Kyle survives four tours of duty, while his wife, Taya (Sienna Miller, effective every second even when she's spouting boilerplate dialogue), maneuvers her way through her husband's absence. Once he's home for good, trying to repair a damaged marriage, it's a matter of maneuvering through Kyle's post-traumatic stress disorder and its effects on his loved ones. Cooper plays Kyle as a "legend" (that was his nickname) whose vulnerabilities remain a secret, even to himself, until the breaking point. He's very good. Muscled up for the role, he suggests a world of contradictory impulses behind the character's eyes, even when the script is skating on the surface.
The sharpest scene, featured in TV ads for the film, finds Kyle back from another tour. He's stateside, but he hasn't told his wife he's home. He's calling from a bar. He's not ready to re-enter what's left of his ordinary life. Eastwood spends an extra second or two with Cooper as he fights to keep it together. This complicates and deepens our understanding of a man who, too often in American Sniper, is a collection of stalwart patriotic virtues rather than a three-dimensional slice of real life.
If only the rest of the film were as strong and troubling as that bar scene. American Sniper gins up all sorts of conflict, treating Kyle's beady-eyed Syrian sniper counterpart, Mustafa (Sammy Sheik), as a skillful but vaguely subhuman adversary. The climactic showdown between these two leads to Eastwood's most shameless techniques—clichéd slow motion just when you expect it, an audience-baiting "kill" shot complete with cheeseball bullet's-point-of-view trajectory.
In The Hurt Locker, director Kathryn Bigelow spent mere minutes on the disorienting homefront return of the central character (Jeremy Renner's bomb-defuser), and every second of those few minutes counted, registered, told us something. American Sniper has the bar scene and not much else. The film is rarely dull; it's one life-and-death sequence after another, and the filmmaking's efficient, crisply delivered. But Eastwood honors his subject without really getting under his skin.
Some will see any objection to American Sniper, either the book or the film, as inherently unpatriotic, although plenty of military veterans on plenty of online comment boards have expressed their problems with Kyle's book. A lot of the skepticism has nothing to do with veracity (he claims to have beaten up Jesse Ventura in a bar; Ventura sued for libel and won). Rather, they see the book as dangerously romantic in its view of war. Eastwood's view isn't that, exactly. But there's a difference between a film about a man reluctant to acknowledge the psychological toll of what he endured and a movie that basically doesn't want to talk about it or question it, or think about it, period.
