Shrapnel Reason: Article: "this is how social media affects your brain"
Belief causes considering because the meaning of all things is derived from the space each thing takes up in the complete everything, and the proximity and relative nature of each thing to each other thing. Belief means 'Why' to the considerations that form the concept of what is believed in, and causes considering. And Meaning is the output of considering. Connections between synapses in a brain are the 'because' between considerations. A determination creates a wall between considerations which prevents a connection from forming between them, and creates negative consideration value within an environment of considerations. Everything that is visible in society is the manifestation of the things which people have either considered, or made determinations against.
A determination, which invokes the considerations which mean the concept of 'these considerations but not these others', forces a strengthened 'Yes' towards some considerations, while falsifying a wall of 'No' towards others, breaking connections and creating opposition between considerations which are connected in the truth. Opposition is a negative force which also creates resistance, and leads to the determined-polarization of mind which is psychopathism. Reason is the truth being spoken, in reaction to a belief. And if a belief is good, then the considering it produces will lead to the harmonization of all considerations, in the way which they all equal one.
But the more a person has falsified their mind, the harder it is for them to consider. And there are many people who have no recognition for what considering is, and who do not know how to engage it. But when a person can engage it, due to the truthful makeup of their mind, they can consider anything they choose to believe in the truth of, and quickly, because there is no resistance in the truth, and because the truth already Is, and only needs to be considered.
having secured their quick fix.
It would be better for those people if they simply increased their dopamine via natural means, like cocaine, rather than falsifying their entire brains and influence in this world just to chase a temporary and fleeting sense of being OK, at the cost of making their entire composition a falsehood that accomplishes nothing lasting or good.
'Reward' as motivation being taken as a human truth is the concept of people who are more primitive than cavemen, who just happened to be born in a later age.
There is no "reward centre" in a brain, and a person whose guidance is 'Reward' has the definition of psychopath written into their neural network, and evaluating as True within them, short-circuiting considering, causing the undue freeing up dopamine, making the person highly functional in a society which has been shaped around the determinations of sociopaths for only their benefit, but while accomplishing of nothing much that is truthful or of long-term benefit to humanity. The very concept of dopamine as reward has been created by people who are sociopathic for them to justify the personal leverage they have created for themselves over society. Every 'Reward'-oriented person is a tyrannical dictator who self-justifies the leverage gained by their offenses as their personal reward for being evil, and all the sufferings in society and the world are only the negative consideration value left in the wakes of their determinations.
The truth is not reward for being, it simply is. When a person acts out of seeking reward, they are not being equal to the truth, and they are being less than the truth. Therefore, when a person seeks reward, they evaluate as False against the truth. And a person who has aligned their entire disposition to be for reward has made their whole being into a falsehood.
An ideology which is centered upon looking at people as being corrupt and False-evaluating is not useful for healing people, as healing people of afflicted states is a matter of accepting the truth of what makes for the difference between a troubled and a healed state.
Since people like this have considered the constant approval of others to be their truth, therefore when they lack it, their brain, which is constantly trying to maintain the state of True evaluation, starts considering why, how, etc, in order to fulfill the greatest belief within the person. All that considering takes dopamine, and reduces the person's overall dopamine-availability, and enabling the sense of an increase in well-being, which comes from dopamine, once the work that was using the dopamine is resolved, and the dopamine is returned back to its available state, ready to be used for other work.
It will be no different if a person considers pouring hot-sauce in their belly-button, or any other inane activity: Whatever a person believes in which consider within their brain, to make their person's well-being status as OK only evaluate as True when the concept that is their belief is fulfilled, which will always free up dopamine, since those considerings, conscious and sub forefront-conscious, will be resolved once their reasons are fulfilled, and considering is the work of a brain, and the work that requires dopamine to connect pieces of information in new ways.
And so, that interaction of dopamine is not particularly a person's brain on social media, but is the biological mannerism that occurs as a person fulfills whatever concept they hold to be of primary importance to their status of being OK, and reason to no longer consider things related to their status of OK evaluating as False.
Dopamine's return to availability is not reward, it is not a bonus… it is the baseline environment a person needs to function and develop, and for a brain to be capable to do all its work, which is considering.
What does it mean when people condition their whole lives on the belief in a falsehood?

Q: Return Rows as Dynamically named Columns in a single row MS T-SQL would like it to be a VIEW I have a Table of Items which has some columns  [Id], [ItemOrdinal], [Amount], [Qty]
[ItemOrdinal] is an integer that basically represents an embedded Id from the imported file.
This table is data translated from a file which has fields like Item1Amt.
The problem I have is a legacy system will need to access the data as if it is looking at the old system.
So I would like to be able to return a view - I have been reading about CTE's and Pivot tables, my thought is more in line with a CTE where basically I create the columns in the view and insert into them

How can I get a result set with columns named like this Item[ItemOrdinal]Amt,
  Item[ItemOrdinal]Qty preferably in a View typically the max number of
  rows will be 8 rows?
Item1Amt, Item1Qty, Item2Amt, Item2Qty, ...Item8Amt, Item8Qty

I am looking at the answer here^
DB Fiddle Example of the tables Table 2 of the examples in particular

A: You can left-join with all 8 item tables and present them without a pivot.
Assuming that, the base table is MyBaseTable and you another 8 tables Item1 ... Item8.

Preview: Baltimore vs Boston, Monday, April 15, 2019
Red Sox heating up ahead of Patriots' Day game vs. O's
Like the 26.2-mile course that runs through the suburbs to Boylston Street in Boston, the Major League Baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint.
The Red Sox are trying to pick up the pace, though.
Boston seeks its first series victory of the year when it hosts the Baltimore Orioles in the finale of a four-game set Monday in the annual Patriots' Day morning game.
While the elite Boston Marathon runners close in on the finish line, the two teams will take the field for first pitch at 11:05 a.m. ET. Right-hander Hector Velazquez (0-0, 2.79 ERA) draws the spot start for the Red Sox in place of Chris Sale, who will pitch Tuesday against the New York Yankees with an extra day of rest.
Right-hander Dan Straily (0-1, 19.29 ERA) makes his second start for the Orioles.
Coming off a 4-0 win Sunday in which David Price pitched seven scoreless innings, the Red Sox, who have won four of their last six games as they try to recover from a 2-8 start, will hope for what they got out of Velazquez in his last spot start. The 30-year-old pitched three innings with just one hit allowed against the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 1-0 win on April 7.
"Everybody knew where we were pitching-wise today," Cora said postgame Sunday. "For 1/8Price 3/8 to go seven ... it was very important for us. We reset, and we're ready for the game tomorrow."
Velazquez pitched an inning in Boston's 9-5 loss to the Orioles on Saturday, but Cora indicated that wouldn't play a factor Monday.
Straily, meanwhile, is looking for consistency after signing with Baltimore as a free agent on April 5. His first outing came out of the bullpen against the Yankees on April 7, and he gave up five runs on five hits in 1 1/3 innings.
Returning to the rotation to face the Oakland Athletics three days later, Straily was roughed up for five runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings.
The Orioles, who dropped the first game of the series Friday, are in the midst of a 2-9 skid. A day after racking up 13 hits in Saturday's win, they were held to five in Sunday's shutout.
"What cost us the game was not being able to move runners and score runners off David Price, who was really good today, and you've got to be able to execute with him on the mound," Baltimore skipper Brandon Hyde said.
The Orioles have given up a home run in each of their first 16 games this season, tying a major league record set by the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies.
The two teams were set to play last Patriots' Day before the game was postponed due to inclement weather. History may repeat itself this year, as the forecast calls for scattered thunderstorms in the morning.
If they do play, the Red Sox expect to be without outfielder Andrew Benintendi, who left Sunday's game in the fourth inning after fouling a ball off the top of his right foot in the third. X-rays were negative, and Benintendi is day-to-day with a right foot contusion, the team announced.
"I don't see it as being anything super serious," Benintendi said. "We'll see how it feels (tomorrow) and go from there."
Benintendi was originally out of the starting lineup for the game but was added after Jackie Bradley Jr. was a late scratch with the flu. Bradley's status for Monday is uncertain.

Microsoft Flight Simulator VR Coming on December 23
Microsoft Flight Simulator will receive a free virtual reality update on December 23, the announcement was made during the recent developer update on Twitch.
Asobo Studio confirmed that the highly-anticipated update will be part of the Sim Update 2, the update will be available for all devices but it will launch only with support for a specific Microsoft Mixed Reality device.
"We are going to open the VR for everyone," said Martial Bossard, executive producer at Asobo Studio. "Everybody will get access to VR now, and when I say everybody […] it will also be open to all devices, including the Oculus family, Valve family, really every family of headset are going to be supported there."
Back in July Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator announced that VR support was closely developed with HP and was scheduled to arrive at the launch date of the HP Reverb G2 VR headset.
Microsoft Flight Simulator also supports TrackIR, a head tracking solution delivering full six degrees of freedom (6DOF) camera control for an ultra-immersive simulator experience. TrackIR allows players to enjoy a low latency mouse free look around with Microsoft Flight Simulator in full 4K/HDR.
Here is what Neumann said back in July:
Listening to the community has been a priority for the development team since the announcement of Microsoft Flight Simulator in June 2019. Two of the most requested features we've been hearing about from the Community are TrackIR and VR support.
Xbox Game Studios and Asobo Studio are committed to the community, and the ongoing support of Microsoft Flight Simulator with experience enhancing features like those we've announced today. But we have even more planned post-launch
One of the exciting implications of this is that the data that makes up the world is always improving, and players can look forward to a simulator that evolves over time. Thanks to our partnership with Bing, players will enjoy new, even better terrain, and an ever evolving, machine learning-fueled simulator that grows over time.
In addition to Track IR and VR, Neumann also confirmed that Asobo will continue to work with Honeycomb Aeronautical, Logitech G, Thrustmaster, Virtual Fly, and many other manufacturers to further improve the experience.

Outpatient parenteral antifungal therapy (OPAT) for invasive fungal infections
Post category:Drug Updates
Triazole resistant A. fumigatus has been documented in many parts of the world. In the Netherlands, incidence is now above 10% and results in the need for long-term parenteral therapy with liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB). The long terminal half-life of LAmB suggests that intermittent dosing could be effective, making the application of outpatient antifungal therapy (OPAT) possible. Here, we report our experience with the use of OPAT for Invasive Fungal Infections (IFI).
All adult patients treated with LAmB with a 2 or 3 times weekly administration via the outpatient departments in four academic tertiary care centers in the Netherlands and Belgium since January 2010 were included in our analysis. Patient characteristics were collected, as well as information about diagnostics, therapy dose and duration, toxicity, treatment history and outcome of the IFI.
Study setting and patient population
A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted within the Netherlands and Belgium. OPAT was applied at the home of the patient or within the hospital outpatient department. All adult patients treated with LAmB with a less frequent than daily administration via the outpatient departments of Leiden University Medical Center, Erasmus MC Rotterdam, Radboud University Medical Center Nijmegen, and the University Hospitals Leuven since January 2012 were included.
Study protocols and definitions
Typically for Aspergillus disease, a 3 mg/kg dose was started. For Mucor species a typical dose was between 5 and 10 mg/kg. The choice to start treating with intermittent therapy with LAmB was made according to the clinical judgment of the treating physician usually based on imaging and clinical course. Patients that were started on OPAT with LAmB were closely monitored for the occurrence of nephrotoxicity.
Descriptive statistics of clinical variables of patients were calculated using the complete data set. Kaplan-Meier curves of survival during OPAT with LAmB were constructed. The analyses were performed using STATA v. 16 (Statacorp, College Station, TX, USA).
The institutional review board from UZ/KU Leuven in Belgium approved the study. Data were processed after pseudonymization by the local investigators and in accordance with Personal Data Protection Acts of the respective countries.
Between January 1st 2010 and September 1st 2018, a total of 18 adult patients received LAmB as an outpatient in a dosing frequency of 2 or 3 times a week. Triazole resistance, demonstrated by either polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or culture, has been the most common reason (in 10 cases) to choose treatment with LAmB instead of voriconazole in the patients with invasive aspergillosis.
Of all patients, nine (50%) were male, and the median age was 60 years. Fourteen patients (78%) had a hematological malignancy as underlying predisposing disease. A response to treatment prior to discharge and start of OPAT with LAmB was confirmed by CT scan in 17 patients. For the remaining patient, clinical improvement had been the reason to proceed with OPAT. Patients switched from daily treatment as an inpatient to intermittent OPAT with LAmB after a median of 56 days (range 14–193 days).
Median dosage of liposomal amphotericin B was 3 mg/kg, administered 3 times each week. Resolution of infection was finally achieved in 13 patients. The remaining patients were readmitted to the hospital, switched to another antifungal, died, or were lost to follow-up. Nephrotoxicity during OPAT occurred in 10 cases, of which in only one case treatment needed to be switched to another antifungal agent (posaconazole, after establishing intermediate sensitivity). Figure 1 shows the survival rates of all patients in a Kaplan Meier analysis since the start of OPAT.
Figure 2 shows the time until resolution of infection.
Figure 3 shows the time until nephrotoxicity occurred during intermittent treatment.
This study shows that the use of OPAT with LAmB in a 2 or 3 times weekly dosing scheme results in high rates of therapy response in a selected patient population and after confirmation of an initial response to daily IV therapy with LAmB. The majority of patients in this study needed prolonged use of LAmB for the treatment of triazole resistant A. fumigatus infections.
In many cases, the clinician may fear the presence of resistance in case of worsening of clinical or diagnostic parameters after treatment with a triazole even with negative or absent resistance tests. Because of difficulty in establishing triazole-resistance or sensitivity, the clinical suspicion of resistance is becoming an important reason to abstain from further treatment with triazoles and opting for LAmB instead.
Nephrotoxicity has significantly decreased after the introduction of the liposomal formulation of amphotericin B. Application of OPAT strategies are slowly expanding within the field of infectious diseases and are being implemented in regular practice. Similar to LAmB, intravenous vancomycin therapy is also associated with renal toxicity but has nonetheless been successfully implemented in an OPAT program for many years now. Despite early reluctance, the expected logistic and toxicity-related disadvantages are outweighed by the advantages of a decrease in hospital stay with similar therapeutic effectiveness thanks to the implementation of monitoring of toxicity and therapeutic drug monitoring.

Qataris buy London
A Qatar-based property development company has bought London in a multi-billion pound deal.
The firm, which already owned a significant chunk of the UK's capital, has outlined plans to redevelop several of the city's best-known neighbourhoods. The West End is to be rebranded as "London Shopping Village," while Knightsbridge will host a Museum of Global Luxury Brands curated by Charles Saatchi. Several new skyscrapers will be constructed to rival the Shard, including one shaped like a giant middle finger located inside the Tower of London.
The firm also unveiled proposals to develop luxury gated communities in a number of exclusive Central London postcodes - re-branded as "Zone 1%" - to be marketed off-plan to Far Eastern investors. The company brushed off accusations of "social cleansing," pointing out that the accommodation "includes servants' quarters."
London Mayor Boris Johnson welcomed the deal, saying that "it takes real national self-confidence to be willing to sell your capital city to the highest bidder." Chancellor George Osborne was similarly positive. "That's the current account deficit funded for another year," he said. "After all, there's only so much pig semen the Chinese are willing to buy."

Moynat sets sights on London for second location
today Jan 28, 2014
Since relaunching in 2011 with a first store on Paris' rue Saint-Honoré, luxury trunk and handbag maker Moynat has undertaken the next step in its development. The company has announced a second store, set to open at 112 Mount Street in London at the end of February.
Inside the London store
LBought by luxury giant LVMH in 2010, the French brand is betting on London's increasing influx of tourists as it sets up shop on one of the world's most luxurious streets. Spread across two levels, the store will house Moynat's luggage and travel accessories for both men and women as well as a selection of accessories.
Interior architect Gwenael Nicolas at Japanese office Curiosity is behind the art deco-inspired concept.
Moynat's exterior in London
Established in 1849 and revived in 2011, Moynat's creative director, Ramesh Nair, cut his teeth at fashion houses Martin Margiela and Hermès.
Moynat has a special history with the British, who, at the end of the 19th century, were the company's number one clientele, using their famed trunks to carry back their purchases from the French capital.

Rachel McLish-The Very First IFBB Ms. Olympia
sabrebIade
Rachel McLish - Bodybuilder, Ms. Olympia and Fitness Model
Probably the very first woman to open my eyes (and for that matter, the whole world's eyes) to the fact that a woman can be very fit, muscled and still be very, very hot was the beautiful Rachel McLish.
Rachel McLish was born Raquel Livia Elizondo on June 21, 1955 in Harlingen, Texas.
Besides being a female bodybuilding champion (the first IFBB Ms. Olympia), she is also an actress and an author.
Rachel attended Pan American University and it was there that she met her first husband, John McLish.
She burst wide open onto the bodybuilding scene and won the 1980 US Bodybuilding Championship, went on to place second at the 1980 Frank Zane Invitational and then won the 1980 IFBB Ms. Olympia in rapid succession.
This was followed up by a 2nd place finish at the 1981 IFBB Ms. Olympia, another 1st place victory at the 1982 Pro World Championship and another win at 1982 IFBB Ms. Olympia.
In 1983 she came in 3rd at the Caesars World Cup and in 1984 she placed 2nd at the IFBB Ms. Olympia.
In 1985, Pumping Iron II: The Women, a short documentary about the competitive female bodybuilding scene during the early 1980s was released.
It showed the controversy between female bodybuilders Carla Dunlap, Bev Francis, and Rachel McLish as far as female body types in fitness competitions.
Rachel did not come off in a very favorable light to a lot of people.
Despite that, Rachel continued to be in the public eye with roles in the movies Getting Physical (1984), Aces: Iron Eagle III (1992) and Raven Hawk (1996).
B-movies to say the least.
In 1983, she appeared in the video for Herb Alpert's song ''RED HOT''.
Red Hot - Herb Alpert with Rachel McLish
Rachel has written two books, Flex Appeal (1984) and Perfect Parts (1987) that have made the New York Times bestseller list.
In 1999, Rachel was inducted into the IFBB Hall of Fame along with two other female fitness and bodybuilding stars, Carla Dunlap and Cory Everson.
Rachel looks amazing today at almost 50 years old.
Most of the pictures below were taken in 2007 and 2008.
She is truly a testament to what a fitness lifestyle can do.

Rachel McLish Workout
Here's an article from Livestrong that only only touches on Rachel's workouts, but her diet as well...
"Winner of the first ever Ms. Olympia title, Rachel McLish has published two "New York Times" best-selling books on women's health and fitness. With a background ranging from a bachelor of science in exercise physiology and nutrition to starring in fitness related films such as "Pumping Iron II, The Women," it is not surprising that Rachel McLish has come up with a diet plan that embodies the combination of femininity and health."

TLC - Tighter and Leaner to the Core - The McLish Diet
Now in her mid fifties, Rachel has released a diet plan.
The diet plan embraces a holistic lifestyle approach and includes a diet (of course), weight-training, stretching and breathing exercises.
Rachel also uses supplements, a variety of teas and omega-3 oils.
The diet is supposed to be in her new book, "TLC - Tighter and Leaner to the Core", but it hasn't been released yet.

Rachel McLish Comments
Liz Mayes on March 27, 2012:
I have admire Rachael for many years. She still looks healthy and beautiful. I would like a copy of the television documentary she acted as hostess, Active Women in the 21st century. If anyone can help me get a copy, I would appreciate any information.
Fitness Photographer on April 28, 2011:
Great hub! Rachel looks amazing in all these photos.
casper on March 27, 2011:
glad to see you put her real name. and i think her movie career was underused. she could've been RavenHawk: the vimpire slayer or something?
jerry c on September 11, 2010:
This the most beautiful woman of ALL TIME!
sibaja_health on July 25, 2009:
Thanks for the hub, the pictures are incredible, I especially enjoyed the Iron Man magazine cover
Heather Frey on July 01, 2009:
As I make my way through the NPC competitions both locally and nationally, Rachal's name pops up quite a bit as the mother of Figure..."feminized bodybuilding" as I call it. She made muscularity beautiful and feminine in a way that had never been done before so I thank her for going in her own direction and starting something that hasn't stopped but only grown.

Pretty sexy, her arms are too muscular for my liking but at she is still hot!

Investing in Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate, More
By JediPixels


Dave brings Brendan Poots on the show this week to share some insights on discovering betting edges within what are normally considered very efficient markets. Brendan operates The Priomha Group which is a hedge fund that invests systematically in sports betting instead of the typical stocks, bonds and mutual funds.
Brendan has a background in the financial investment sector and experience as a bookmaker. Combining skills learned in both fields, he has developed some interesting strategies for seeking out edges in liquid markets, hedging betting risks, managing funds and consistently seeing positive returns.
Why there are still consistent betting edges in liquid markets: and where you can look to find them.
Specific tips and advice from a pro for a few sports markets including tennis, cricket, soccer and in play trading.
How Brendan hedges his risk and manages his portfolio for consistent returns.
Tax implications for your winnings and how his hedge fund pays out accordingly.
Welcome to Betting 360, your number one source for horse racing and sports betting insights. Coming around the bend is your host, David Duffield with another expert interview to give you the winning edge!
David: Hello and welcome to Betting 360. I'm your host David Duffield and for episode three I'd like to bring on a special guest to help us once again look at punting from a different angle. Our expert today is Brendan Poots. He is a sports hedge fund manager at Priomha Capital. He has an interesting background in professional sports as a cricketer, also as a bookmaker and as an investment banker. He's taken a lot of that experience and applied it to the sports betting world so he runs a fund with external investors and it's his job to get them good returns. It's a non-traditional type of investment, somewhat of a pioneer in the field I suppose you could say. But I wanted to have a chat to him about that today and also what the everyday punter can learn. He has some good insights in betting into soccer, also on tennis, and some in-play trading and some cricket as well so with the Ashes coming up I thought was worth chatting with him how best to go about trading or betting on cricket. So let's have a chat with Brendan.
David: Hello again listeners, I'd like to welcome our special guest to the show. How are you going Brendan?
Brendan: I'm well, thanks Dave.
David: Good to have you on the show and thanks for joining us. We might as well start by explaining what to some might be a strange concept because they're used to the finance investment world, but what is Priomha Capital?
Brendan: Okay well Priomha Capital is a sports hedge fund and I'll sort of go back into the genesis of the idea first of all. I started playing county cricket a long time ago in the mid-90's and during that time, one of the benefactors of anyone who plays cricket overseas is a rich guy who will look after you, give you the house and the car and what have you. My guy was a bookmaker so whilst I was playing cricket during the day with the long summer nights I would be a bookmaker at night.
It was during that period that I noticed the value of sports betting. Sports betting and sports bookmaking, particularly golf, cricket and tennis. It was heavily traded in the bookmakers over in England and that got me thinking. Fast forward five or six years later once I had realised my cricket ambitions weren't going anywhere, I was working in finance and the genesis of this whole idea came when I was in Columbia University in New York. We were studying finance and looking at charts of the DOW JONES index and they were exactly the same as the charts that were coming out from Betfair in terms of price volatility and price changes. I wasn't keen on working in finance but I knew everything about it, or at least I was getting taught everything about it so I thought I could apply the principles of finance and trading finance in shares to trading sports.
This was made a lot easier by the advent of Betfair and Betdaq and the other corporate bookmakers who allow you to bet in the run or online. So effectively we manage money as per the interest of a superannuation fund or a fund manager but whereas typically they invest in stocks, bonds and shares and more traditional investments, we trade sports markers for and on behalf of our clients. We have a pooled investment scheme and the way it works is we take a percentage of profits and a management fee. So we trade sport just as someone else would trade gold or someone else would trade stocks.
David: Alright so it's a really interesting concept and I had Elihu Feustel on the show last week and he runs a fairly decent sized tennis betting syndicate, so similar to what you do but without a lot of external investors. One of the things that he spoke about and it's pretty well known, is there's a balance between the liquidity of the market and the edge you can normally get. Typically the bigger the market, the harder it is to beat. With a fund of your size you probably a need to make substantial bets, how do you find a winning edge in what should be pretty efficient markets?
Brendan: Well I think you're right, certainly in a couple of the markets we trade in, English Premier League as well as European Football Leagues as well as the major sports of tennis, cricket, golf, they're very liquid. Now what we've found is that come kickoff in, let's say the English Premier League, the market's pretty close to what our market would be. But what we tend to find is that prior to kickoff when prices start going out on a Thursday for the Saturday round there's quite a discrepancy. There's an opportunity on a Thursday to put some trades in, be it either a back or a lay and you'll be able to get out prior to the game generally with a small arbitrage type profit.
That's what we try and do but the real value, and this is where I think our edge comes in, is once the betting is in the run and taking advantage of the events, because what tends to happen is the markets start at a relatively efficient and are close to the mark but once the even starts, there's a huge overreaction to single events in a game. Be it a wicket falling in a Test match which in the scheme of things is not necessarily a huge event if the first wicket falls because you still have 19 to go before the Test match is finished. Or if there is an early goal scored or an early goal conceded in a football match, the market overreacts. A lot of our edge and a lot of our trading is actually within the match, after the match has kicked off because prior to the game, you're right the edge is not necessarily there.
David: So I understand the in play trading, we'll get to that in a moment but if the price has moved your way pre-game, a very simple example but if you're on something at say $2.20 and it comes into even money at kickoff, do you trade out of it then to lock in your profits or do you think that you've got a positive EV and you'll let it ride?
Brendan: We will trade out to take a little bit of the profit because the way we work is that our maximum trade is only 3% of funds under management. So say for instance, for argument's sake we've got $100,000 under management. So our maximum trade or maximum liability at any time in a game can only be $3,000. What we'll do before a match is because we know we're going to trade out prior to the match, we might set our maximum liability to 10% or 15%. So what would happen is in the event of a pre-game trade, we would have our liability to $15,000, but then before kickoff we trade that out or hedge that out until it's back to 3%. By doing that we'll have guaranteed a profit and then reduced our liability back down to where we need to be.
David: And what about if it's gone the wrong way and you've got that 10-15% exposed.
Brendan: We would be monitoring that between the Thursday and the Saturday so we'd have a stop-loss limit in. We would make sure that our analysis was such that we were confident, but we would make sure that come kickoff we wouldn't have any more than 3% exposure. So we would have traded down our liability between the Thursday and the Saturday if the markets started going wrong, or going the other way.
David: So the Thursday betting, 24-48 hours out, is that mainly done with Betfair? Because I'd imagine you would have trouble to get on with all but the biggest bookies?
Brendan: Well it's a combination and what we find is we spread out across a couple of exchanges and we have 4 or 5 bookmakers we currently use so you can spread it out across them, but predominantly its with the exchanges for pre-game.
David: Alright so for the in-game stuff, how restrictive is it for the fact that you're Australian based, I know you've got people that are overseas, but how do you go trading with the legislation the way it is at the moment in Australia?
Brendan: Well that necessitated a big change in business this year. We got burnt a couple of times being stuck on phones in the middle of the night at our trading office here, getting caught out by goals in Premier League matches. So what we did middle of last year was we opened up a UK trading office which executes trades on our behalf. So what happens is one of us in Australia will be awake watching the game, but our guy in the UK he'll be on Skype with us, talking to us all the time throughout the match because he can trade out at the flick of a button whereas a number of times we've been caught on the phone watching a goal being scored as we lose our money. Or we make money so what we've done is we now have an English office which executes trades for us.
David: Well I know you work closely with RMIT and they have a pretty strong stats team and I think some do have either academic or hands-on experience in terms of betting. Can you explain how you're involved with them and how that works for Priomha?
Brendan: Sure. About three years ago, or actually to go way back, my previous job in corporate Australia involved taking a lot of interesting technologies out of universities and commercialising them. So turn them into a real business and float them or sell them off. Through that process, a long time ago when I was getting into RMIT, they told me about these mathematical and statistics based algorithms they were producing for sport. Now I was working for a large mining chemical company so clearly we couldn't use it but that sowed the seed.
Then a couple of years ago, a chap invested in the fund so I'm managing some of his money. He was the guy that, and this is prior to me coming to Melbourne, but he used to write many years ago about his computer and how it tipped winners in the AFL. And how the AFL tipping was winning a lot so he was obviously already enamoured with the idea. So after speaking with him and getting his investment for the idea, he put me in touch with the guys at RMIT.
What they've been doing for a number of years now is they've been doing a lot of the statistics gathering an analysis for Australian Institute of Sport or Australian baseball. But predominantly what it's been is statistics around performance, how to maximise performance of an athlete, but when I spoke to them, we talked about how those statistics and the exact same skills could be used to monitor or be predictive in terms of what may or may not happen in a sporting contest.
The data is the same, the skill set to analyse it is the same, the only thing that is different is what variables to put in and what variables to weight accordingly. So the deal we have with the RMIT at the moment is they do all the statistical analysis and build all the algorithms for us for English Premier League.
David: Alright so you've got what you've proven to be a profitable edge both in the research phase and then in actually betting it. How do you manage or assess it and then manage risk vs. reward and I believe you use stop-losses if things aren't going your way?
Brendan: Yeah, and basically the output of this algorithm, and coming from a finance background was always to try and make the whole trading and analysis part of the operation as automated as possible. But not giving up the subjectivity of an opinion, whereas in the stock market they have a lot of these bots working where they just basically high frequency trade. They are not trying to take advantage of the psychological aspects of the market. What happens with the algorithms that are produced, they will produce a price on an event happening and then we'll put our subjective measure to it.
The typical thing was recently with Alex Ferguson, what was going to happen the other night against Swansea. Well you would think that Man United would be desperate to win so you could probably shorten them a little bit even though a model might say they are $1.30 or $1.40 which I think if the starting price probably more realistically is $1.20 because they'll try a lot harder. So what we'll do, say we get a price out that someone is $2.20 by our model, but in the market you can get them for $2.80 or $2.90 we'll bet into the trade. We work on a 10-15% margin so if we rate them at $2.20 then we want into it if the markets gotta be $2.50 or above, somewhere like that. And then we would have an exit strategy based on effectively what our maximum liability is and we'd put a stop-loss or a back bet in so if things go wrong we get matched and we can get out.
David: Now I don't expect you to give away exactly what's working for you I mean you've got a fund to run and you've got staff but just in general terms, say someone is interested in tennis betting, is there any pointers you can give them on where they could look to find value?
Brendan: Yeah. I think there's a lot of value in men's tennis throughout the year. To give you an example, in the Grand Slams, you've got the best of five sets. And you've got Novak Djokovic playing whoever. And Novak in the best of five will be $1.05 or $1.06 or something like that. And then you'll see during the course of the year over the best of three sets, you'll still be paying $1.05 or $1.06 yet the conditions are completely different. Whereas in a five set match you have to lose three sets to lose, in a three set he could quite easily lose the first set and then he's only one set from being knocked out of the tournament which happened recently.
So what we tend to find is that there is a lot of value going against some of the big guys in the tournaments throughout the year. A. Because they aren't primed for the big-time tournaments, you look at Federer, Djokovic, Murray, they're now looking to win Grand Slams as opposed to necessarily winning some of these smaller tournaments. What you tend to find is that the odds don't change, yet the risk increases greatly of one of these guys losing. So if you're $1.20 over five sets, over three sets you should be a little bit more because the risk is you could lose the first set, you have one broken serve and you're out of the tournament.
In terms of tennis, you look at the guys in the tournaments outside of the majors, because the majors they're primed and there's not really value there. But outside of the majors in the best of three set tournaments, a lot of value to take a set against Federer, take a set against Murray, take a set against Djokovic because you've already seen up to now this year they've already been knocked out early rounds a couple of times. That's all you need when they're $1.05 you don't even need them to be knocked out one or two times and you make a lot of money.
David: And what about EPL, obviously it's a massive betting market, where do you think people can find value there?
Brendan: Well, huge value in if you look at the pure stats, Man United when they play at home should be paying $1.15 or $1.16 or something like that. Depending on what you decide is value, some people might find that $1.30 is not value and it should be $1.15 but if you're looking at getting a little bit of a free hit, if you included Man United in all of your muliti's throughout the year when they're back at home at more than $1.15 that's a good start. There are a couple of ways of trading which are very profitable and again, take advantage of the market overreacting. One is in the unders/overs markets, when there's 2.5 or 3.5 goal market.
What you tend to find is that a goal is scored in the first half and the unders and the overs markets overreact incredibly to it so the people that think it's gonna be over 2.5 goals, the price will drop incredibly and unrealistically. And then what you can do is bet against that because over the course of the next five or ten minutes it immediately gets back out and you're already in the money. So there's a bit opportunity with the overreacting to events in play particularly the over and unders markets as well as just in the outright win-loss markets. Again, once there's a goal scored there's a real overreaction quickly that you can take advantage of.
David: So am I right in saying you've got charts or matrixes where you might have a scenario where if the $1.30 favourite scores in the first five minutes, you've got data that says here's what's likely to happen in the next 5, 10, 15?
Brendan: Yeah so the way it works is we'll have Man United vs. Swansea and we'll have data which pops out saying, here's the head to head Man United vs. Swansea, here's the Swansea vs. top team playing away, Man United vs. a mid team playing at home data. So what will happen, and here's the beauty of what's been built, is say Man United scores in the first 38 minutes, what happens next. That will give you an idea of when the next goal is potentially or most likely to be scored. If the next goal is going to be scored at the 60 minute mark, then there's an opportunity there for you to bet against the unders or bet against the overs rather because you know there's another half hour before another goal is to be scored and you can trade in that period. So basically it's all probability and if there's a probability you can tie that back to price. If there's a discrepancy between probability and price, then we add a little bit of subjectivity like watching the match and we see whats happening, then we'll take a play.
David: And what about cricket, any pointers there for keen cricket punters with the Ashes looming?
Brendan: Yeah well it's a wonderful sport. Obviously it's a sport I used to play but one of the great things about cricket is that there's so much history to it and there's so much data available. Ultimately cricket hasn't changed that much in terms of Test cricket. A good example last year or might have been the year before was one of the trades we made, Sri Lanka was playing South Africa in Durban. Sri Lanka had left South Africa 445 or 450 to win in the last innings.
And that has only happened twice or three times before in the history of cricket, yet South Africa were $3.00 favorites to win the match still representing a 30% chance, you had over 2.5 thousand Tests and it's only happened twice. So because of the history, a lot of the data or a lot of those milestones stack up. What you'll see a lot of the time, and it happened again in the recent Tests in New Zealand and England is that when a side is set 380 plus to win in the last innings, you just take the set against them because history says that its not going to happen. If you do that every time, you'll make a lot of money. Certainly this year, as far as the Ashes goes, you'll see that a lot. You know when the last innings come about, the side batting last needs 350 or above and they're paying $3.50 or something like that, then you take the set against them because it just doesn't happen enough to justify those odds.
David: Fair enough. Some good pointers there for the sports punters who are listening in. Specific to Priomha though, can you tell listeners what your results have been over the last say three years?
Brendan: Sure, well the last three years we've been taking external investors money since the start of 2010, and up until the end of last year the return has been about 130% to the positive. So, that's gross before our fees.
David: You mentioned fees, what are they and how do they apply?
Brendan: Typically, it's 2 and 20. It's a 2% management fee and a 20% performance fee but the management fee, importantly, is only charged in arrears at the end of the year on the provisor that we've made more than 2% for the client. Typically what would happen in most managed funds or hedge funds is if you gave someone $100,000 they would take their fees up front so you're only playing with $96,000 or something like that. So you're behind the eight ball from the word go whereas what happens with us, if someone were to give us $100,000, we would have to make sure they're at least at $103,000 by the end of the year, and if we were, we take out our management fee.
David: Yep, and is there a minimum amount to get involved if people are interested?
Brendan: No, basically we are still looking to grow the business and one of the things that we know is that the more people we have involved in the business, the more likely they are to talk to other people. Then the whole network and the brand builds. At this point there's no limits per say, be it down side or upside.
David: Okay, pretty good result and a decent sized fund. You must be able to get some reasonable sized bets and trades on.
Brendan: Yeah, as mentioned we're looking at the 3% as our number, our maximum trade. If you spread that across different people or different price points, you can do that relatively easily. It becomes a little bit more complicated with respect to the administration of it but it's definitely doable.
David: I know you're not an accountant by trade, you mentioned your background, but people get their own advice and this isn't a sales pitch, but I wanted to make people aware of an interesting concept. What are the tax implications as far as you understand it if people have the money with you?
Brendan: Well again you pointed out well that we do advise everyone to take their own advice, but what we've found is that we've had tax attorneys as well as accounting practitioners speak with us. To the best of their understanding, the dividends that we produce are tax free. That's predominantly because there is no precedent. It has been suggested that we go to what's called a private ruling and that's something we're considering at this point, but at this point the information that we've received from two different tax attorneys and two different accounting practices is that to the best of their knowledge, because there is very little precedent in it and historically, gambling winnings have been tax free, the dividends are tax free. Which obviously is a big kicker when we're getting some of the results we're getting.
David: Exactly. Alright, we'll leave it there for now, really appreciate you coming on the show. If people want more information, head over to Priomha.com.
Brendan: That's the one, or just drop an email to info@priomha.com and we're happy to talk.
David: Excellent, appreciate your time Brendan.
Brendan: Brilliant Dave, thank you.

CMPD Raids House on Central Avenue
From The Charlotte Observer by Cleve Wootson and Steve Lyttle –Oct. 12, 2011
A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police SWAT team raided a boarding house onCentral Avenuebefore dawn Wednesday, taking two people into custody as part of a drug investigation, according to search warrants and witnesses.
The search took place at a house nearBriar Creek Road, next to theTele-TimeAcademyday care center.
A resident of the house, declining to give his name, said police arrived about6 a.m.and broke in through the front and rear doors and through a front window of the yellow frame house. The resident said police hurled a concussion grenade into the house when they arrived.
According to the search warrant, police were looking for Desmond Nelson.
A resident told the Observer that Nelson had lived at the house for about a year. The resident said Nelson and his girlfriend were taken away by police.
Officers left the scene shortly after8:30 a.m.
The police activity startled parents who arrived Wednesday morning with their children at the day-care center next door. They were greeted by police cars and television news crews.
John Seck said he has been bringing his son, Assan, toTele-TimeAcademyfor about two years and his daughter before that. He said it was disconcerting to see the police activity Wednesday morning.
"I never questioned the place," he said of the boarding house next door. "I didn't know it was a place where people come and go."
Seck said the biggest concern with the house had been a dog that lived there and barked at the day care center's children.

It's safe to say that most people don't think of East Tennessee State University, Milligan College, King University or Northeast State as economic development tools. That's too bad because they are. And, if the truth be told, they have as much development potential as industrial parks and shell buildings. Under the right conditions, they could be even more important.
Several well-researched studies show towns with a college or university are faring much better in the recovery from the Great Recession. Research universities like Stanford and MIT are credited with spurring the development of Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco and Boston areas. It's a seemingly simple formula: Entrepreneurship plus technology equals the path to commercialization. The challenge is to expand the scope, localize it and make colleges and universities full economic development partners.
Most of these studies focus on the nation's top universities because they are the low-hanging fruit in the often-tedious task of measuring economic growth and mapping it to its roots. But if you take an objective look it's not hard to see the broader economic footprint of colleges and universities. The next step is looking for untapped potential and getting past the idea that economic development is only about bricks and mortar or luring new businesses to the region.
The traditional metric comes in three parts. The first is the obvious day-to-day operations of the institutions that create demand for goods and services. Next, higher education adds to the inventory of educated people which ups the supply of human capital. And then there's innovation by students and faculty. It's there you find untapped potential for tomorrow's economy, because with careful nurturing that innovation attracts entrepreneurs and innovators.
ETSU is no longer the working man's college of yesteryear. And although it still lives in the shadow of some of the state's larger universities, it has grown and continues to grow as a powerhouse in the medical field and is recognized well beyond the local public awareness orbit.
Here are just a few examples of how it stacks up against its peers: The Quillen College of Medicine is already ranked eighth in the nation for rural medicine training. The College of Public Health is ranked 31st in the nation. The College of Nursing Master of Science and Nursing Practitioner Program weighs in at 20th in the nation, and the Quillen College of Medicine is ranked 20th in the nation for producing doctors who go into family practice.
And now the merger of Mountain States and Wellmont will be a catalyst for a much larger role for ETSU and the region in health care services, education, and research. On the front-end, the new Ballad Healthcare has pledged at least $85 million to grow academic and research opportunities and support post-graduate healthcare training. ETSU and Milligan will be the primary institutional recipients, but the economic and public benefits are much wider.
Healthcare already accounts for the region's largest employee headcount. It's not unreasonable to speculate that health care education, innovation, and services could be what manufacturing and coal were to the region decades ago. Nor is it unreasonable to think that the region's healthcare development potential can mature and grow as a powerhouse development sector much like it has in the Nashville metro area. One big difference between Nashville's health care sector growth and Tri-Cities' potential is Nashville has more of an entrepreneurial culture. Risk-takers are admired there, and that has attracted a sophisticated capital infrastructure to support those risk-takers. Our area isn't there yet, but it could be.
While healthcare is ETSU's shining star, it's not the university's only star program. Even less recognized is the potential of other local higher education institutions to enhance and grow the region's economy. But since ETSU is the largest, it creates the biggest impact that has been measured so far.
A couple years back, ETSU professor of economics Steb Hipple headed a major study on the economic impact of the university, the Medical Education Assistant Corp. and the physician practice group for the Quillen College of Medicine. The combination of student spending, employment and activities contributed over $683 million to the region's economy. Since then Hipple has retired, and there hasn't been an update to the study. It's safe to say the impact is more significant now. But what would it look like if such a study encompassing the region's higher education community was made? According to the Business Journal's Book of Lists, there are 21 institutions of higher learning in the Northeast Tennessee – Southwest Virginia region.
The challenge as the region continues adjusting to and expanding this new economy that thrives in both the physical and digital world is to elevate higher education from a provider of demand for services and goods to a full economic development partner. If localities and the education communities rise to that challenge, they can create a breeding ground for entrepreneurs and innovators to start new enterprises and enhance existing main street business in ways that augment – or maybe surpass – the economic development practice of swinging for the fence to attract new business and industry to relocate here.

Incidentally, did you know that NBA veteran Donyell Marshall is on Karl Hobb's staff? Can you see him looking at the camera from the huddle? My guess is that the University of Connecticut connection didn't hurt.
It was my first time watching a George Washington University men's basketball home game, but I have to admit, I had a good time. The Colonials have dropped 4 straight including the loss to Harvard so hopefully, they rebound in their next game against St. Louis.
Tonight was a good night to be in Minneapolis. Coach Scott Brooks brought his Oklahoma City Thunder to the Target Center to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. I feel like the Thunder are in town every month. I know that's not the case, but it feels like I just saw them here.
Regardless tonight's match-up went into overtime and Kevin Durant blew up for a million points and a thousand rebounds. Ok. So he didn't really have a million points and a thousand rebounds, but it felt like he did. Durant ended the game with 47 points and 18 rebounds. That's not a typo. He had 47 points and 18 boards.
Jeff Green was the 2nd leading scorer for the Thunder. He dropped 19 points and contributed 8 rebounds.
During the 1st half of the game Russell Westbrook had a monster one-handed dunk that I would've taken a picture of to post here, had I not been looking at my in-seat menu. Seriously?!?!? When am I ever going to learn not to turn my camera off and to pay attention ~ especially when high-flying athletic players like Westbrook are on the floor.
For the Minnesota Timberwolves, the dynamic duo of Michael Beasley and Kevin Love came ready to play. Beasley had 30 and 9. Love had 31 and 21. Love is a tough. During overtime he hit the floor and everyone at the Target Center held their breath, until he got up off the floor. He hit the deck right in front of me and I swear I heard it. Ouch.
I told the guy next to me that the Timberwolves would lose. I don't mean to dog the team, but the guys are just too young and/or inexperienced to close close games out. It's sad, but true. This game was winnable for the young Timberwolves, but the Thunder rocked the Target Center to win, ultimately with a score of 118-117.
Kevin Durant blew up in a career game (i.e. that went into overtime), during my final night in Minneapolis. I'd say we both went out with a bang. Thunder Up!
**** Last, but not least, just in case the assistant coach I met in the hotel concierge lounge before the game reads this post, I should point out that I was right. Wes Johnson plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is a picture of him in the air going for a lay-up.
Rockets defeated the Timberwolves ~ Brooks throws up the "loser sign"
The Houston Rockets came into the Target Center last night and defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves. The final score was 125-129. The game didn't really get exciting until the end when the Timberwolves started to make a run.
Before the game another guy asked if there were any stars on the Houston Rockets. I answered for the guy, "Not unless you count Shane Battier as a star." I kept it moving. I actually am not familiar with the Rocket's line up. I just know that without Yao Ming, it's tough to watch them. **** I wasn't going to debate Shane Battier's star level. He's a Duke alumnus, so therefore I support him.
Speaking of Battier, I couldn't help but notice he was guarding Michael Beasley. Talk about opposites... Battier is clean cut, and Beasley isn't... Personally, I like Beasley's game better. It's more exciting.
Honestly though, with Luis Scola's freakish resemblance to adult Jesus, how were the Timberwolves expected to win?
Speaking of look-a-likes... Who's the guy on the Rockets' staff that looks like American Idol judge, Randy Jackson? I could look it up or you can just tell me.
Things during the game were ho-hum, but got more interesting around the last two minutes. Yes, everyone says you don't need to watch an NBA game until there are 2 minutes left on the clock. In this case, around the 2 minute mark, Aaron Brooks and Kevin Love tussled and Brooks threw the ball at Love's chest. Have you seen Brooks and Love stand next to each other? Brooks more or less comes up to Love's armpit. Regardless, it was a weird exchange and Brooks hit the Rockets bench shortly after.
After getting his 6th foul, on his way to the bench in case Timberwolves fans couldn't read the scoreboard Brooks flashed the "loser sign" to the Timberwolves crowd.
Father-Daughter Vegas vacation ~ Great laughs, big wins!!
My dad is the best, and we just had another father-daughter weekend in Vegas. What started out with father-daughter dinners as a girl scout and father-daughter dances in high school graduated to weekends in Vegas. It may not be for everyone, but it works for us!
Here are some random thoughts, status updates, and quotes from the weekend.
Just landed in Vegas. Flight attendant says that our bags are coming in on carousel 7. The guy behind me starts yelling, "seven"! I turn around and say, "So you're a don't guy?". He says, "yep". End of discussion.
Eventually, my dad got hungry so it was off to Gaylord India Restaurant at the Rio Hotel and Casino. It's one of our favorites. As soon as we ordered, there was an Asian waitress that came over.
Me: You can't call her that.
Dad: What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about the bigger dishes (as he holds up the new plate).
We ordered the chicken curry. When it came out, there was also some vegetarian curry.
Me: What's in the vegetarian curry?
Dad: Vegetables are for poor people.
Friday night I bet the Atlanta Hawks to cover against the New Orleans Hornets. Friday night, was also the night that history was made and the Hawks only scored 59 points (i.e. the lowest point total in FRANCHISE history)... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!? Absolutely ridiculous.
Friday night I was playing rapid craps over at Bill's. It was painfully slow, but it was great to sit and laugh and catch up with my best friend. We sat there betting the "Don't" since it was impossible for any shooter to get into any kind of rhythm with a slow dealer. As we were sitting, he said "Isn't that your dad?" Sure enough, my dad was walking into the casino. I was happy to have them both there and I re-introduced them. Within a few minutes my dad left to go get some food.
Later that night, I checked out The Cosmopolitan (i.e. I believe it's a Marriott property). It's fancy. I don't think it's for a serious gambler. It's more of a see and be seen place. I didn't check out the table minimums this trip. I'll do it next time.
I also walked over to Vdara Hotel and Spa. The rooms are nice. I saw an executive suite. It had a kitchen, washer and dryer, etc. but no casino. It was nice, but for my money and the location, I'd rather stay at the Palazzo or Venetian.
I passed through the Bellagio on the way back to the strip. There was no robbery taking place so it was cool. Based on the decor there and near the Palazzo, I think it's the year of the rabbit. I'm a rabbit and rabbits are lucky so I couldn't resist taking pictures.
Saturday I dragged myself down to the sportsbook to bet on Ohio State. The Buckeyes are ranked #1 and were in Illinois. I had Buckeyes -3.5, the money line, and in a parlay with the Washington Capitals. All the bets were winners!
Saturday night I was at the Venetian's sportsbook, watching the Golden State Warriors v Los Angeles Clipppers.
Wankster looking Asian guy in sportsbook yelled, "Real LA fans are Clippers fans because people from LA can't afford Lakers tickets!". Instantly 3 other Asian guys raised their hands and said, "I can afford them.".
When I went to check on my dad he was sitting on a stool playing craps with thousand of dollars in front of him. No wonder he wasn't bothering me. I tapped him and told him it was time to go. After another 10-15 mins he left the table a WINNER.
He has to sit since he's not really in condition to stand at a craps table for an extended period of time (i.e. read HOURS). He's assured me he's going to start exercising so he can walk the strip more and stand longer. I find this completely hilarious and have asked him to document his training regimen so I could laugh some more. He thinks that I'm kidding. I'm not.
Back in the room dad was tired and was rubbing his legs since they were sore.
Before I left I gave my dad specific instructions to bet on the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers for the AFC and NFC Championship Games. I couldn't place my bets since the book had closed, and I was leaving. He could and did.
Me: Go collect the money.
Me: Duh. Of course we did.
We cleaned up nicely... Now I just need to figure out how to get the money from him.
Steelers and Packers ~ I told you so!!!
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers have advanced to the Super Bowl.
1. I told you so.
2. My dad had to place my bets for me in Vegas, since I left this morning, but who cares... WE WIN!!!!
I missed most of the Packers game since I was flying, but needless to say I watched as Jets fans had a glimmer of hope. J-E-T-S = L-O-S-E. Sorry, New York Jets' fans. You're never going to win with Mark Sanchez as your quarterback. Don't believe me? That's fine. You have the ENTIRE off-season to think about it.
Nets walk away from table, where Carmelo never sat ~ Trade drama over "for now"
My prediction: Carmelo Anthony plays out the season in Denver as a Nugget AND then goes to the Knicks... I don't believe the Chicago Bulls talk... That's my 3 cents based. **** Why 3 cents? It's 3 cents because I'm smarter than the average person, and the average person gives you 2 cents.
I don't believe that Prokhorov is bluffing. I really believe the New Jersey Nets are out of the mix.
I don't believe Carmelo wanted to play for the New Jersey Nets anyway.
I think that if Carmelo isn't moved before the end of the season, he will have even more interest in what happens over the summer with regard to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
I think that New York Knicks fans will have to hold their breath and wait to see what Donnie Walsh comes up with regard to an offer for Carmelo.
**** I took the pictures for this post during the Nuggets v Wizards game, February 2010.
I'm going with the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
I saw the Chicago Bears lose to the Seattle Seahawks earlier this year too. I don't have any strong feelings about the Bears, but I'll admit I'm not really a Jay Cutler fan. The most interesting thing about him for me right now is that he's dating Kristin Cavallari, and even that tidbit of info is getting old.
I like the New York Jets, but I just can't get behind Mark Sanchez. I don't believe that he thinks he's a winner.
I didn't go to Heinz Field this year, but I was there in 2009 when the Steelers hosted the Cleveland Browns.
As for the Super Bowl, I'm going to hold off on my prediction.
NBA: My thoughts on the Eastern Conference ~ Can't we just pick 6?
I was talking to my friend, Teri, over the weekend and we were talking about the Eastern Conference and how it's "weak" relative to the Western Conference.
The final 2 spots in the East as of now are being held by 2 teams that are below .500. When was the last time any of you basketball fans were clamoring to see the Sixers or the Pacers this year? Yeah, I know. Me neither.
Granted it's still early, but my initial reaction is "ewwwwwww".
I like the Boston Celitcs on top and with Kevin Garnett back in the line-up, let's hope they stay healthy. Now I just need to check and see if there's a time table for Kendrick Perkins. I know Perkins has practiced, but last I saw he was on the bench during the game.
I'm anti-Lebron but pro-Dwyane Wade/Erik Spoelstra/Pat Riley, so I'm torn when it comes to the Miami Heat. Even being anti-Lebron, I have to admit that play when he twisted his ankle, went out of bounds, and then drained a 3 from the corner was impressive. Yes, I'm not blind. I saw it, and I was impressed.
How about Derrick Rose's triple double (i.e. granted it was against the Memphis Grizzlies, but it still counts)?!?! What about Kyle Korver's 3-point shooting? If those guys can keep up the effort and keep making shots while Boozer is out, then I'd consider the Chicago Bulls to be a viable threat. I'm just not sure about their strength with Joakim Noah still out of the line-up.
I think the biggest surprise is Atlanta. In the words of Elmer Fudd, they've been "very, very quiet" yet the numbers don't lie (27-15).
I like the Knicks and am impressed with how well Amare Stoudemire is playing. I anticipate heading to Madison Square Garden again before the NBA All-Star break to catch the Los Angeles Clippers and/or the Los Angeles Lakers in town. I'm not sure how long the Knicks can continue to "bring it", but I am pulling for them.
Those are my thoughts on the East.
NBA International players to cross the pond if lockout ~ I say, "No"
I've been reading a couple of headlines related to international players in the NBA (e.g. Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko) and the plans they're "considering" if there's an lockout next season. Having survived a NBA lockout in 1998 with an international player who also entertained offers from other teams in Europe (i.e. if I remember correctly, I remember a team in Spain was interested), I'm willing to call the player's bluffs. If these guys start looking for their passports, my bet is that they're going for pleasure and NOT business.
Is Okur going to hop a plane to Europe, if there's a lockout?
Is AK-47 taking his ammo across the pond, if there's a lockout?
I'm not about to read up on Okur and Kirilenko's contracts, but I do feel as though they're solid in the NBA and have viable careers. I have no idea what their making in terms of $$$, but I do feel like the risk of injury overseas is too great. We're not just talking about international competition like the Olympics and FIBA World Championships. We'd be talking about a "season" or partial season.
If you think I'm buying the story that these guys (i.e. and not specifically Okur and Kirilenko) or anyone with a viable NBA career are going to pack up and head overseas, you're fooling yourself. You'd have better luck selling me season tickets to one of the bottom dwelling NBA squads that are always mentioned in the same breath as the word "contraction".
**** Actually now that I think about it, both stories about an international player heading across the pond are about players with the Utah Jazz... Random, but I think pure coincidence, since the Jazz are having success at 26-13. FYI, I took the pictures for this post back in April 2009.
The Thunder have me wanting to do something I've never done before... I'm seriously thinking about going to Oklahoma City. I've seen the Thunder on the road many times, and they're exciting to watch. I have yet to see them play at home though.
Russell Westbrook had a triple double tonight (i.e. 32 points, 13 assists, and 10 boards). I know Kevin Durant gets a lot of much deserved attention (i.e. 36 points tonight), but for those of you that aren't paying attention to Westbrook ~ get your head out of the sand and open your eyes!
Westbrook is tough, and the 1-2 punch of Durant and him is lethal. Don't believe me? Ask the Orlando Magic who lost tonight. Final score of the game was 125-124. The game was HOT.
Dwight Howard had 39 points and 18 rebounds, and Orlando erupted in the 4th quarter. However, the Thunder held on.
I will admit right now that I don't pay attention to the Trail Blazers. I was at the playoff game between the Blazers and the Phoenix Suns on April 20, 2010. If I remember correctly (i.e. and my files are correct) it was a Game 4. Brandon Roy actually returned to the Blazers line up that game and dropped 10 points.
The Blazers won that game by a score of 96-87.
Things are definitely not "rosey" at the Rose Garden... Last year, I saw Brandon Roy return. I'm not sure I'll see the same thing happen this year.
I found a video on Youtube of Ken Mauer giving out five technical fouls to the Minnesota Timberwolves last night, when they hosted the San Antonio Spurs. The video isn't that great, but I'll take it.
Yep, 1+1+2+1 = 5 techs in 10 seconds.
I don't know if I'm alone, but it kind of reminds me of the scene in the movie, "Clue", where the Butler tries to count the bullets in the gun.
For those of you not on Twitter, I have no idea what it's going to take for you to get with the times if you're a sports fan.
Check the latest Tweet from Lebron James (aka KingJames on Twitter): "Crazy. Karma is a b****.. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!"
Yeah, the Cleveland Cavaliers just got blown out by the Los Angeles Lakers. The Cavs were without Anderson Varejao, and the fact that that makes such a difference is sad in itself. The final score of the game was 112-57.
I think that the Cavs should offer Ted Williams (i.e. the man with the voice) more than an announcing job. Perhaps they should let the man try out for the team. It couldn't get much worse... Could it?!?!
I feel bad for Byron Scott.
$20 tonight would've gotten you a ticket to see the San Antonio Spurs v Minnesota Timberwolves. The final score was 107-96. Kevin Love had another double-double, 20 points and 20 boards. Michael Beasley played but has been bothered by a bad ankle. Luke Ridnour and Martel Webster both contributed 18 points in the losing effort. The Timberwolves shot poorly all night, 38% was the field goal percentage.
No one will beat the Spurs shooting 38%. It's not rocket science.
The Spurs were just too tough for Kurt Rambis' squad. Correction: Maybe I should say Bill Laimbeer's squad since the technical fouls were flying and Rambis was ejected with about 8:30 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter.
I knew that the Spurs would win tonight, but I thought that perhaps the Timberwolves would raise their level of play to compete. I also thought tonight's game would be a chance for Gregg Popovich to rest his "starters". I was wrong. Tim Duncan, Richard Jefferson, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker all contributed substantial minutes and balanced scoring.
As much as I'm not a Tony Parker fan, I can't deny the fact that the man is good. Here's a picture of him in the air, after driving the lane, and dishing the ball to a teammate for an assist.
There wasn't much energy in the Target Center tonight. I think the most fan energy came out during the t-shirt toss. Regardless, for $20, I was pleased with the level of entertainment and had plenty of Tweet material.
There was a very scary moment for Timberwolves' fans when Beasley drained a 3 with just under 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter. He landed and immediately grabbed his ankle. He was able to get up, but hopped as he was helped off the court.
Spurs maintain their dominance and improve to 32-6. Timberwolves settle for 9-30, and everyone hopes Beasley's not hurt seriously.
Here are my Tweets from the game. If you're not following, you're missing out. Most recent Tweets are on top and the older ones are towards the bottom.
Beasley just drained a 3 and went down. Had to be helped off court. He hopped to locker room. #Twolves v #Spurs. Fans headed to exits.
They're tossing t-shirts into crowd and finally Target Center wakes up. Game isn't out of reach for #Twolves v #Spurs but no energy here.
#Twolves fg% is 39%... Shooting is so cold in here, that I might need my handwarmers from the AFC Wildcard game in KC. #Spurs up 93-83.
#Spurs v #Timberwolves... #Beasley playing... Let's make it a ball game!
I just got a technical foul from Ken Mauer... Wait.. What?!!? LOL.
Athlete, Coach, or Media ~ How would you choose?
I've been doing some thinking, since I've been seen some things and been hearing a lot of stories lately. If you're playing a game of FMK and these are your choices: athlete, coach, or media person, what would you decide? Obviously, you have to use the generalities and stereotypes associated with each type of person but like I said, I'm curious what people think. It might be a simple decision for some of you, but I think it's a very careful one that people who wade in this pool need to ponder before jumping in. I think people get very short-sided and don't think about the consequences of their actions. I've seen naive girls get swept up in it all and spit out. People need to remember that once you lose respect, you've basically lost everything.
**** I guess we could add front-office in the mix, but for the sake of this argument, let's leave them out for now.
The choices are just lovely, right?
Assuming you find all 3 choices attractive, in the hierarchy of the sports world, does the athlete always rank #1? I say, NO, but what do I know. I guess it depends on what the person wants. Anyway, like I said, it's just something I've been doing some thinking about.
Cross Arrowhead Stadium off the list. I went to Sunday's AFC Wildcard game and watched the Baltimore Ravens play the Kansas City Chiefs.
I have some dear friends who think I've got "issues". That's fine. Everything is a means to an end, and my goal is to hit all the stadiums, arenas, and ballparks for professional football, basketball, and baseball. Friday I was basketball. Sunday was for football.
I travel because I want to and because I can. I have plenty of frequent flier miles and time. I have status on various airlines and don't mind air travel. Plus, unlike most of the people that complain about my schedule ~ I'm YOUNGER by at least 10 years. **** That's right. I know some of you are lying about your age, but I KNOW I'm younger, and therefore I have more energy.
My journey to Kansas City started early. It was my first trip to Kansas City and my first trip to Arrowhead Stadium. I'll make it back to Kansas City eventually to see a Royals game, but then I'll probably just cross the city off the list. There were so many Baltimore Ravens fans on my flight that it might as well have been a charter. When I arrived in KC it was almost 10AM so I decided to grab a cab and head to the stadium. I'll tell you right now that a cab to the stadium isn't cheap. However, I'd rather pay than deal with driving, parking, and refueling a rental car when I do short trips like this.
Arriving at the "New Arrowhead" stadium a little before 11 was perfect, because it gave me time to check out the Chiefs Hall of Honor. **** I asked the old man sitting next to me why it's called the New Arrowhead Stadium and he said it's not "new", but that it's been re-done. Well that explains that.
As I took in the sights and sounds around me, I tried not to freeze to death in the 14 degree temperature. **** There was snow on the ground. I spent $8 on two packs of handwarmers. With one warmer in each boot and coat pocket, I managed to hang in there for the whole game.
Honestly, I need to make a mental note to plan on the weather before I decide to settle on a game. Why on Earth did I think Kansas City would be warm?!?! I must be losing it... Relatively speaking though, the game was nothing compared to the AFC Championship game in 2004 (i.e. Indianapolis Colts v New England Patriots). Foxboro in January is brutal. The old man and his buddy chatted me up during the game and even brought me back a hot chocolate. Nice guys, but I expected nothing less since I was in the Midwest.
As the game started it appeared that the Kansas City Chiefs were going to make a ballgame of it. Matt Cassel definitely had his work cut out for him with the Baltimore Revens' defense. I figured out who Jamaal Charles was as he proved to be a force on offense.
At the end of the day, the Ravens dominated the game and defeated the Chiefs. I saw Ray Lewis sack Matt Cassel in the 4th quarter, and all I can say is that I'm happy I wasn't the one being thrown onto the ground. Ouch. I've never been a huge Joe Flacco fan either, but he has my attention now. The final score for the AFC Wildcard game was 30-7, and the Ravens advanced to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday afternoon.
After the game, I went straight to the airport to catch my flight. Coincidentally I arrived at KCI at the same time the Baltimore Ravens did. As I walked with them into the airport, I saw some kids in Ravens' jersey cheering them on. I mustered a "good game, guys" and kept it moving. It's not like I can recognize a football player without his jersey on, so sticking around and taking pictures would be stupid.
I did notice a Raven following me, so I turned around to him and he asked me if I knew where the Southwest ticket counter was located. I told him I thought he was in the wrong area and that Southwest was either behind us or in a different terminal. Nice guy. I told him I was on my way back to Baltimore, but obviously he was headed somewhere different than his team. I asked the guy in the gift shop for directions for him and then walked to my gate.
When I got home I checked the Ravens' roster and the mystery Raven, was Ed Dickson, Oregon alumnus. He was obviously on his way to Phoenix to watch (2) Oregon and (1) Auburn play each other for the BCS National Championship.
Even though Sunday was a football day, there's no escaping basketball. Check out the exchange I had with my cab driver on the way back to the airport.
Cab driver: I came here to play basketball.
Me: You look like a 4.
Cab driver: You know ball?

There are many sides to Stoke Newington, with its parent crowd and fun young things. So no wonder there are a multitude of watering holes to suit many a scenario. From scene-defining cocktail joints to gastropubs to rough-around-the-edges boozers, find the best of the best in our list of Stokey bars and pubs below.
The Shillelagh is pretty legendary, often heralded as the best Irish pub outside of Ireland. As the rest of Church Street transforms, we doubt we'll see much change from this lovably rough watering hole. Come for the Guinness, stay for the craic.
Many feared the worst when the much-loved Jan's Belgian beer bar shut up shop. But this posh pub has taken over scores on all fronts for its whopping array of craft ales and fancy gastropub grub. Think snacks like olive ascolane and hearty mains of lamb chops and scallops.
Halt the rate of gentrification by stepping back in time instead at Fontaine's, a cocktail bar with an art deco vibe at the tip of Amhurst Road. Order champagne cocktails, kick back and listen to live jazz.
An adored beer haven known for representing breweries from all around the UK, settle in for a proper beery session at the Butchers. Cask and keg are given equal standing, and the pub is just as celebrated for its hearty Sunday roasts.
A gastropub with a strong gin line-up, approachable staff and an open-door policy to four-legged friends, the Lady Mildmay down in Newington Green scores on all fronts. But it's Sunday lunch that impresses the most. You'd best book ahead.
With its posh pub décor and quiet backstreet location, The Londesborough is a good bet for evenings when you want to fit in a spot of refined drinking. Cosy up on sofas by the fire or sit up at the table for some posh pub grub.
It's hard to believe such an amazing cocktail bar could be lying underneath Stoke Newington High Street. Step below ground for a low-lit, devilish hangout serving inventive, original cocktails and offering free games of pool on its table.
A brilliant backstreet boozer that doesn't get too crowded despite its sterling line-up of craft beer, fine wine and restaurant-standard grub. The interior is stunning, but a petite paved garden at the back suits the summer drinkers just as well.
The Lion has had a recent revamp, taking a new name as The Red Lion in the process. It still has a mighty fine decked beer garden at the rear and has added some extra draught lines at the bar for the local craft beer lovers.
Venue says Local craft beer, delicious thin-crust pizza and the best in sports TV. Any pizza for £5 every Friday lunch; on Monday nights it's 2 for 1!
Rough around the edges and off the beaten track, The Shakespeare is a cracking local with an island bar, a banging jukebox, affordable tipples and a pub quiz well worth getting involved in.

Disabled family needed the money to buy housing because we are living with the drinking neighbor in a communal apartment with no amenities. The neighbor does not allow to make repairs in the common areas. Corridor, toilet, kitchen, they killed in the state. We both walk on crutches, the required amount of 1500000 rubles.
We are tired of living in terrible conditions do repairs not put normal heating does not allow the neighbors to put souls to simply wash and endless booze in the shared kitchen and the loud music at night. 4276200480341101 card number.
