Joey DeFrancesco wields full arsenal on More Music
By Adam Feibel
Joey DeFrancesco
Joey DeFrancesco has released a lot of music over the last three decades. This year, he'll release his 39th studio album as a leader — which is simply titled More Music.
The prolific multi-instrumentalist and composer — who celebrated his 50th birthday this year — returns to Mack Avenue for his third album with the record label.
More Music is a hard-bop and soul-jazz recording on which DeFrancesco brings out his full arsenal by playing organ, piano, keyboards, trumpet and, for the first time on record, the tenor saxophone, as well as singing on at least one of the tracks. He also composed and arranged 10 original tunes for the album.
DeFrancesco is joined by a new trio with fellow Philadelphia organist and guitarist Lucas Brown and drummer Michael Ode.
Here's the full track listing for More Music:
Lady G
Just Beyond the Horizon
In Times of Reflection
Angel Calling
And If You Please
This Time Around
Soul Dancing
More Music will be released Sept. 24 via Mack Avenue.
Joey DeFrancesco embodies the sound and history of Philadelphia

America's Leading Stamp Dealer
This Day In History › First Airmail Coil Stamp
Topic(s): Airmail, Aviation, Flight, Mail Delivery, Postal History, Stamp Series
First Airmail Coil Stamp
US #C37 – America's first Airmail coil stamp
The first US Airmail coil stamp was issued on January 15, 1948, in Washington, DC. Only a few more coil stamps would be issued over the next 30 years, but the DC-4 SkyMaster would appear on more than a dozen postal items.
The DC-4 SkyMaster made its maiden flight on February 14, 1942. The aircraft quickly played a critical role in the Allied war effort and the Berlin Airlift of 1948-49. The SkyMaster was also widely used in commercial aviation and to deliver airmail.
US #C32 – first SkyMaster stamp, issued in the larger format
The first SkyMaster stamp was issued in 1946 to pay the reduced rate of domestic airmail from 8¢ per ounce to 5¢ per ounce. This included airmail sent to and from US territories including Hawaii, Guam, and the Canal Zone. This was a savings of up to 90¢ per ounce. The stamp and a matching Airmail Stationery Envelope were issued on September 25, but the rate didn't take effect until October 1. The SkyMaster issue was soon known as the "Nickel Air Mail Stamp" and was promoted during National Air Mail Week. The Post Office also reported an increase of 19 million airmail letters sent in the first two weeks of October compared to the first two weeks of September, which they credited to the new lower rate.
US #C33 – first SkyMaster stamp issued at the smaller size
On March 26, 1947, the SkyMaster design appeared on a new, smaller airmail stamp. The smaller size was adopted in preparation for future issues that could be used as coils or booklets and sold in vending machines. A month later, the Post Office issued its first Air Letter Sheet, which also picture the SkyMaster. And in May, they issued a Postal Stationery Envelope to celebrate the 100th anniversary of US postage stamps. The embossed stamp had the busts of Washington and Franklin (who appeared on the first two US stamps) plus different methods of mail delivery, including a shop, a horse rider, and a DC-4 SkyMaster.
US #C37 – Classic First Day Cover
Then on January 15, 1948, the Post Office issued its very first airmail coil stamp. The new stamp was only available in coils of 500, which cost $25. That was a large sum for the time, plus the stamps weren't properly formatted for current vending machines. So most individuals didn't use them, instead they were usually used by corporations and other groups. The 5¢ SkyMaster coil stamp was also issued in much lower numbers than the other SkyMaster stamps. While the previous SkyMaster stamps were issued in the hundreds of millions, only about 33 million coils were printed. In all, only about 2% of all the SkyMaster stamps issued were coils.
US #C39 – The 6¢ SkyMaster sheet stamp
US #C41 – The 1949 6¢ SkyMaster coil stamp
US #C39a – The 6¢ SkyMaster booklet pane
The 5¢ Airmail rate was in effect until December 31, 1948, after which it rose to 6¢. A new 6¢ SkyMaster stamp was issued in sheet form on January 18, 1949. And on August 25, 1949, a new 6¢ SkyMaster coil stamp was issued. As with the previous coil stamp, it was only available in rolls of 500, so most of the stamps were used by businesses.
US #UC16 – 1947 10¢ SkyMaster Air Post Envelope
There was also a 6¢ SkyMaster booklet stamp issued on November 18, 1949. It was one of the last two booklets to be issued at a price of 1¢ above the face value. After this, the DC-4 SkyMaster was used on a few more Stationery Envelopes and Air Letters. In all, the SkyMaster appeared on more than a dozen different postal items between 1946 and 1958.
US #UC17 – 1947 5¢ Air Post Envelope picturing the SkyMaster and other methods of mail delivery
US #UC26 – The SkyMaster image was changed to blue for this 1958 Air Post envelope.
There were only a handful of other Airmail coils issued in the years to come, with the last being issued in 1976:
US #C52 – 1958 7¢ Silhouette of Jet Airliner coil in blue
US #C61 –1960 7¢ Jet Airliner coil in carmine
US #C65 – 1962 8¢ Jet Over Capitol coil stamp
US #C73 – 1968 10¢ 50-Star Runway coil stamp
US #C82 – 1971 11¢ Jet Airliner coil stamp
US #C83 – 1973 13¢ Winged Letter coil stamp

Thank you for this thorough article explaining the progression of postwar air mail stamps that most collectors have dozens, yay hundreds of, in our collections.
Why do you say "more than a dozen"? Don't you know the exact number of times it was used?

Here is a final look at the Dodgers cards found in packs of 2016 Topps Series 1 packs. These are some of the more scarce cards that are available, so I don't have photos of everything. Go here to see all of my previous post on this set.
Of note are the "Topps Bunt" insert cards that refer to an smartphone app featuring virtual cards that are collected just like real cards - with folks even paying premium values for them on eBay (wha???). Frankly, I don't get it, but what do I know? These "real" insert cards are limited to only 25 copies and sell for big prices online. There is a code on the reverse of the card that you can input on the app for extra virtual cards/points.

In rural Virginia, a group of privileged pranksters suffer for dismissing the legend of the ghost who guards a Confederate shot tower. In a small town in South Carolina, a washer woman goes mad when she hears an army of the dead march through the streets night after night, at the stroke of midnight.

Whatever Happened to the Famous Ross Sisters?

"Dancing with the Stars" fans got a little closer to learning who would take home the Mirrorball tonight.
In the finale, each contestant couple performs a Redemption dance and a Freestyle dance, per ABC rules. Contestants can score up to 80 points.
RELATED: One of the "DWTS" finalists just backed out of rehearsals after suffering an injury to his eye
At the beginning of the night, it was down to four pairs — Jordan Fisher and Lindsey Arnold, Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas, Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson, and Drew Scott and Emma Slater — but after tonight, only two couples would finish with perfect scores across the board.
Drew Scott and Emma Slater ended the night with a 75 out of 80.
Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson ended the night with 76 out of 80.
Jordan Fisher and Lindsey Arnold finished the night with a perfect 80 out of 80.
Lindsey Sterling and Mark Ballas earned a perfect 80 out of 80.
With the top two so close to each other, it will come down to votes and fan base. Both of the top two couples are great dancers and have ranked in the top for most of the season.
Fifth Harmony and Pitbull also performed. Things probably looked familiar for Fifth Harmony's own Normani Kordei, who competed on "Dancing with the Stars" earlier this year with Val Chmerkoviskiy.
Unfortunately, it didn't end well for Drew and Emma, the lowest-scoring pair of the four — by a single point. Their road ends tonight, and they won't be going on to compete in part two of the season 25 finale tomorrow.
That's okay — the two will be going on to plan their respective weddings, which PEOPLE says they've invited each other to! Maybe they can even get a dance in.
YES!! JORDAN AND LINDSAY ARE THROUGH TO THE FINALS #DWTS pic.twitter.com/qeAYqOTEV6

That Every Man Be Armed, the first scholarly book on the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, has played a significant role in constitutional debate and litigation since it was first published in 1984. Halbrook traces the right to bear arms from ancient Greece and Rome to the English republicans, then to the American Revolution and Constitution, through the Reconstruction period extending the right to African Americans, and onward to today's controversies. With reviews of recent literature and court decisions, this new edition ensures that Halbrook's study remains the most comprehensive general work on the right to keep and bear arms.


When 39-year-old Alexis Day came to EvergreenHealth's Emergency Department with severe abdominal pain, it took detective work worthy of an episode of CSI to figure out what was causing the problem.
It was detective work that would save Day's life.
A CT scan showed that part of Alexis' spleen had died because the blood flow to it had been cut off.
That answered the question of what was causing the pain, but the mystery remained regarding what had cut off the blood flow in the first place.
It was very unusual to see this in an otherwise healthy young woman without any trauma or injury to the spleen.
An echocardiogram – an ultrasound of the heart – was ordered to take a closer look. That's when the case took a surprising twist.
Echocardiographer Stacy Bautista was able to identify the problem as she performed the echo and knew right away that something was wrong.
"It wasn't a blood clot – but two large tumors – inside her heart," Bautista says. She called for Dr. Kim to take a look.
Luckily for Alexis, this initial clot went to her spleen – and while losing part of the spleen is pretty painful, it's not life-threatening.
With the mystery solved, Alexis was scheduled for open heart surgery the following day to remove the tumors before any other pieces could break loose and cause potentially life-threatening complications.
But there was more than luck involved in cracking this medical case – it took experienced medical detective work.

815 F. 2d 702 - Carrington v. Lawson's Milk Company
815 F2d 702 Carrington v. Lawson's Milk Company
Donald CARRINGTON, Karole Foster, Bernice Hodoh, Phyllis
Broadus, Ola Mae Cheathom, Maurice Mundy, Joyce
Nicole Reed, Paul Owens, and Dolores
Owens, Plaintiffs-Appellants,
The LAWSON'S MILK COMPANY, and Gary Smith, Defendants-Appellees.
March 6, 1987.
Before ENGEL, KRUPANSKY and NORRIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Plaintiff's-appellants, Donald Carrington (Carrington), Karole Foster, Bernice Hodoh, Phyllis Broadus, Ola Mae Cheathom, Maurice Mundy, Joyce Nicole Reed, Paul Owens, and Dolores Owens (plaintiffs) appealed from the district court's entry of summary judgment in favor of the defendants-appellees, The Lawson Company (Lawson's) and Gary Smith (Smith) in this civil rights action based upon 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1981 and Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 2000a, 2000a-1, & 2000a-2.
The record disclosed the following facts. The plaintiffs, except for Carrington, were black United States citizens and high school students at Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio. Carrington was a black citizen employed at Buchtel High School on its security staff. Lawson's was a corporation which owned and operated a chain of convenience food stores, including one located on State Road in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The store sold food and beverages, including such items as lunch meats and cheeses, dairy products, and sno-cones. Smith, a white male, was employed by Lawson's as a sales assistant and was on duty the night of September 13, 1984.
At about 8:45 p.m. on September 13, 1984, the plaintiffs were returning from a class picnic when they were involved in a traffic accident at the intersection of State and Valley Roads in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Several of the plaintiffs entered Lawson's and requested permission to use a pay telephone located behind the counter. Smith, following company security policy which prohibited any persons other than on duty company employees access to areas behind the sales counter, and the use of the phone for other than business purposes, denied their request. The plaintiffs left the store and used a public pay telephone situated approximately one block away.
After police and paramedics had arrived at the scene of the accident, the student plaintiffs re-entered Lawson's and again sought permission to use the telephone. On this occasion they were accompanied by Carrington and James Romano (Romano), a white assistant principal at the plaintiffs' high school. Upon the direction of a Cuyahoga Falls police officer who was investigating the accident and who had entered the store, Smith over objection permitted Romano to use the phone. A white paramedic then entered the store and requested permission to use the phone. Smith initially refused, and the police officer again ordered him to permit the use of the telephone because the call was "official" business and was necessitated by a malfunction in the ambulance's radio.
Plaintiffs, took issue with Smith's refusal to allow any of the black students or Carrington use of the phone, and thereafter commenced the present civil rights action in the District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Lawson's and Smith filed a motion to dismiss, to which they attached as an exhibit a letter from the Cuyahoga Falls Chief of Police to a Lawson's executive concerning the incident. The letter affirmatively stated that Smith permitted the use of the phone only upon the order of the Cuyahoga Falls police officer. The plaintiffs filed a response and a supplemental response to the motion to which they attached several affidavits. Judge Lambros, treating the motion as one for summary judgment because matters outside of the pleadings had been presented to the court, granted summary judgment in favor of Lawson's and Smith. The plaintiffs thereupon initiated this timely appeal.
Plaintiffs argued that the district court erroneously considered the letter from the Chief of Police to Lawson's when it granted summary judgment. See Martz v. Union Labor Life Ins. Co., 757 F.2d 135, 138 (7th Cir.1985) ("when a party seeks to offer evidence through other exhibits, they must be identified by affidavit or otherwise made admissible in evidence.") (citing 6 Moore's Federal Practice p 56.11[1-8] (2d ed. 1983)). However,
[t]here was no objection below to the use by the court of the ... documents and, even if they were not presented in compliance with Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(e), they would support a summary judgment in the absence of objection to their use.
Townsend v. Columbia Operations, 667 F.2d 844, 849 (9th Cir.1982) (citation omitted). Plaintiffs were aware that the motion to dismiss was to be treated as one for summary judgment, see Dayco Corp. v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., 523 F.2d 389, 393 (6th Cir.1975) (party who filed counter-affidavits in response to a motion to dismiss is imputed with the knowledge that the motion will be treated as one for summary judgment), and yet failed to object to the district court's consideration of the letter. Judge Lambros did not err in considering the letter in granting summary judgment in defendant's favor.
Plaintiffs next asserted that the district court improperly granted summary judgment in favor of Lawson's and Smith on their Sec. 1981 claim. To recover under Sec. 1981, a plaintiff must prove intentional or purposeful discrimination. General Bldg. Contractors Ass'n v. Pennsylvania, 458 U.S. 375, 390, 102 S.Ct. 3141, 3150, 73 L.Ed.2d 835 (1982). Under Sec. 1981, a plaintiff must prove that the defendant treated him differently than whites and that "this disparate treatment was the result of discriminatory purpose." Smith v. Pan Am World Airways, 706 F.2d 771, 773 (6th Cir.1983) (per curiam). Summary judgment for the defendants is proper in civil rights cases where the plaintiffs have presented no evidence of purposeful discrimination. Id. Plaintiffs offered no such evidence, and dismissal of their Sec. 1981 claim was proper.
Plaintiffs also argued that the district court erroneously granted summary judgment on their Title II claims based upon 42 U.S.C. Secs. 2000a, 2000a-1, and 2000a-2. For a facility such as Lawson's to come under the prohibitions of Title II, it must be "principally engaged in selling food for consumption on the premises." 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000a(b)(2). In Newman v. Piggie Park Enter., 377 F.2d 433 (4th Cir.1967) (en banc), modified on other grounds, 390 U.S. 400, 88 S.Ct. 964, 19 L.Ed.2d 1263 (1968) the Fourth Circuit considered the meaning of the word "public accomodation" in terms of food service establishments:
The sense of this plan of coverage is apparent. Retail stores, food markets, and the like were excluded from the Act for the policy reason that there was little, if any, discrimination in the operation of them. Negroes have long been welcomed as customers in such stores. See 110 Cong.Rec. 6533 (1954) (remarks of Senator Humphrey).
Id. at 435-36. The Lawson's "convenience store" was not a "facility principally engaged in selling food for consumption on the premises," but rather, a place where food products were sold principally for off-premises consumption. Lawson's was a place "where food service was incidental to some other business...." Newman, 377 F.2d at 436 (emphasis added). Judge Lambros, therefore, properly ruled against plaintiffs on their Title II claims.
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district court is hereby affirmed.

LANCASTER – Baseball can be a grind at times, but when you are winning, there is no better feeling, and it makes coming to field that much more enjoyable.
A year after winning their first district championship in 25 years and their first ever Ohio Capital Conference-Ohio Division title, the Lancaster baseball team has carried that momentum into this season.
On Wednesday, the Golden Gales improved to 10-0 overall and 3-0 in the OCC-Ohio Division with a 7-5 victory over host Pickerington Central.
Lancaster did all the things it takes to win by scoring four runs in the top of the first inning to set the tone, had clutch, two-out hitting, manufactured runs, had solid defense, a pitcher (senior Garrett Davis) who was able to buckle down and get out of a couple jams, and a game-ending diving catch by senior right-fielder AJ Cook in the bottom of the seventh inning.
"It feels great and the fact that we are 10-0 and our team is just playing really good together, there's nothing better than that," said Cook, who was mobbed by his teammates after he made his diving catch that ended the game. "I have the best teammates in the world and there is no better feeling than them coming up and congratulating and supporting me in everything I do.
That has been a huge key for the Gales. They certainly are experienced and talented, but the way they play for each other, is on a different level.
"I think last year set us up to be successful this year just because we got to the point where wanted to get to and now we want to go farther," senior shortstop Tyler Monk said. "All the hard work that we've all put in is finally paying off now. We work harder than any team we play, I can guarantee you that.
The Gales jumped on the Tigers early by plating four runs in the first inning. Monk had an infield hit that scored Evan Sines, who led off the game with a single. Jake Richards, who had walked earlier in the inning, scored on a wild pitch. Cook was hit by a pitch, and Lucas Gauerke had a huge two-single that plated Monk and Cook.
The Tigers scored a run in the bottom of the first and it might have been more, but the Gales turned a 4-6-3 double play. Lancaster pushed their lead to 5-1 in the second when Casey Finck singled, stole second, stole third and scored when the throw went into the outfield.
Central cut the deficit to 5-3 in the third inning and it stayed that way until the Gales scored a run in the sixth when Sines singled and later scored on a sacrifice fly from Monk. In the seventh inning, Max Hamilton reached on a fielder's choice, stole second and came home on a single by Sines.
The Tigers scored twice in the seventh inning and had runners at first and third with two outs. Brendan Hutton relieved Davis after he walked the first two batters he faced. Hutton was able to get a ground out and strike out before Cook made his catch to end the game.
Sines led the Gales with three hits and scored two runs, while Monk Gauerke and Hamilton had two hits each. Davis picked improved to 5-0 on the season and Hutton picked up the save.
Lancaster was certainly tested by the Tigers and the Gales faced some adversity, but they were able to hang in there and make the plays they had to make.
"It speaks to the belief they have in one another, the belief they have in their abilities and it speaks to the veteran presence they have," Lancaster coach Corey Conn said. "In building off the last few years, just the camaraderie and chemistry they have is phenomenal.

i would like to know if there are any professional poker players on this site that can say and prove that they are making a living off poker. Im really curious after seeing movies like my favorate matt damon and edward norton movie rounders when john malkavich played the russian poker player.
No but I will be or die trying lol good luck all.
NO WAY IN THE WORLD WOULD I PLAY POKER AS A PRO, EVEN IF I COULD!!!!
By what criteria can you determine a professional player or an amateur?
I was in the past. I had luck by winning some money in micro tourneys, then I went to nl20 on 888 and had quiet good winrate like ~15bb/100. That was good times but it had to change because I had to spend a lot of money on some serious life situation. It has ended and I had few tries to back to the game for real but the games now are much harder.
Not a professional but an addicted guy that spend lots of money.
I think a professional would be someone whose only income is from Poker.
I wouldnt call myself a professional poker player because of a simple fact that i dont devote myself to poker only and do not play any big tournaments just now. But i can beat every poker player in the world. Not to say im overall better player than them, but i know i can beat a final table in major poker tournament. Thats the main thing you need in life. Confidence. Do you think Negreanu lacks confidence? Or Cristiano Ronaldo? Or Lebron James? Do you really think they succeded because of luck? No, they all succeded because of their confidence.
I play poker for only 5 months. Every day I try to improve my skills. But now I am only playing freerolls.
5 months? all ahead. play more experience getting money, bankroll go to tournaments, and someday we will hear about you more than once.
The likes of Negreanu, Ronaldo and LeBron James are the best because of natural talent and obsessive levels of hard work, as well as confidence!
in my opinion a player is not professional until he plays in the wsop .. if you play at home, you are NOT professional .. even if you play cash in a casino in your country you should not consider yourself a pro .. a pro compete in the world tournament more important. Can you compete in other tournaments but win these tournaments? Who plays them? Do you beat professionals? dont? then you are not pro ..
Nope, just a random guy trying to build a bankroll off freerolls/ low entry tourney's for now.
I can play poker and sometimes win tournaments or cash games, but I'm not a professional player, but I would very much like to become a professional poker player!
In college I was but not currently.
I thin of myself as a hobby player, as long it dont coast me too much money i am in the pokergame.
Poker is my favorite game. My hobby. When I play poker, I am always curious. I think I would like to be a professional but unfortunately I am not a professional.
To be a professional you need to work hard every day. Unfortunately, I do not have so much time to play and study.
in poker every day. and I read a lot. I think that my work will be successful in the future.
the truth is not enough trust and discipline.
these are important components for future specialists.
so I'm so far from professional level.
No not a pro yet, but it is my goal at some point in my life. I have a regular job right now but saving everything penny I can to build the bankroll I need to become a pro. I study every chance I get and play tournaments I feel I have the edge in.
Yeah. Without any I will say. Holy things in poker. Poker is business. And not everyone is allowed to invest a little and spin up to the heights. And then discipline and cold-blooded behavior are very important. Even tilt is necessary in poker to learn from early childhood (starting in poker) to respect and try to be with him a little even to be friends. this is a component of poker. This is psychology. We are all living people and we are not stranger to any behavior when we are psychologically broken from failures. I only refer to poker. In life, we must always be first and foremost people. So in poker. And not the fault of tilt. the blame for all the falls and ups, ours and only our mistakes. Well, just bad beats and crossings. Nobody called us here. We chose poker ourselves, and we ourselves determine who we are and what we want from it. We are the smiths of our victories and defeats. It's easier for me. I had a difficult psychological service. and I became a mater and an old man. It's easier for me to bear the fall. It's just a philosophy of play and life. The main principle of those who want to be and live poker, never give up, we are people, and we will always find ways to overcome obstacles. It's not just a game. I would even if there was a God of poker, banned the word GAME. It is a battle of wits, a mind of psychology. This is a whole world of confrontation. In poker millions are played, but only a few big stars are lit in it. But this is not an excuse to give up. These opportunities are given to all. And a series of falls is not a reason not to believe in yourself. one day, tired of a string of defeats, you will feel the strength at which you say - yes to eat. How can. I'll bring this tournament.
And you brought it. You're not a poker god and never will be. But you gave yourself faith and strength in yourself. And this means a lot to a person. I could not walk after the injury because of a spinal injury, but I was ashamed to go to the duck in the hospital for everyone. I found strength and went to the toilet myself. And now I'm a little sick, but I'm quite full.
So here. Tell yourself what you can when you want. Everyone does himself. ignite your let and not the big stars grind your available limits, live it and just enjoy it. I think that this is one of the main poker. Great game. For ordinary people it is not understandable. The game is supposedly the cheaters of liars and deceivers. even I, defending 20 years of laws, will now defend the honor of this game, these battles. It's not just a game. It's a whole world. and each of us has the opportunity to live sometimes in this other dimension, where we ourselves smiths of our own happiness and in our original world can themselves bring the ground for a better existence.
I plan to become one of the good players .. I do not swing while on poker Olympus. but I want to light my little star.
I wish all this to you ..
With respect to the Russian-language hour and club Card Chhat, Nikolay.
I got carried away a little and moved away from the topic of bankroll. This is our weapon. Someone himself creates it, someone will introduce and untwist. Improve and go to the heights.
Bankroll is a sacred cause. I have more than once convinced myself of this when I twice violently broke it. Now I rock in it.
Mathematics is sacred. But the main thing is in us. Poker started to change me. I have now changed my life schedule for the better. I began to teach myself to discipline and began to deny myself unnecessary things that prevent me. I'm a PLAYER NOW. And I do not want to go back. I have everything to go forward. And I wish that this motivation was for all who want at least a step closer to the poker Olympus. We can do this.
when I feel the strength and experience, not to be then just a long tongue and unfounded, I'll write a book about the psychology of poker. And this book will be designed primarily to help those newcomers who want to seriously associate their lives with poker. the book will be for real future players and not for the ludomans.
someone will definitely be a professional.
sorry for the quality of the translation.
I`m advanced amateur. I never will be profesional poker player, because I have a tendency to tilt but I love this game and never stop playing. I used blocke higher limits nad Stop-lose . Thanks to this, I do not lose my roll through the tilt.
I am a long-time online poker pro (over 10 years) but I consider myself more semi-pro these days in order to travel more and build my side business.
i am not proffesional player, i am amateur..
I'm not a professional poker player and I'm not trying to become one. I just like to play poker, learn and enjoy the game.
There are people on the forum who live in poker, and I know other people in my city who are also professionals. Just to make it clear, these people just play poker and nothing else, their income is just poker. It's possible to live in poker, you just have to believe and run behind it, a brazilian player named Jóao Simão, a 10-year professional poker player, yes that's 10 years, no profits, just investing time, and study, until that he got, he now earns millions online, and live also makes good money.
I used to go around to bar poker when I was younger and play "for a living." Seriously, I made decent money during that time. Nowadays, I would love to become a pro but I'm not there yet.
I want to be a professional. But this requires a lot of time to pay poker! And this does not always work with my rhythm of life.
If there are "Poker Pro Online Losers" , reckon I am one.
I'm just an Amateur who loses a few dollars a year. Of course I'd like to be the one who makes a living by poker. But... not right now.
Sure. I consider myself a part time live professional poker player since I still have a job during the day that's extremely flexible and helps make extra money. I also don't like telling family or friends that I play poker 6-10 hrs a day so the job is considered a scapegoat. So far for the month of July, I've made over $10k playing poker while using my bankroll to tip/eat/drink.
I used to play lots of low stakes limit holdem and low stakes limit omaha hi lo. For years I was a losing player until I switched my game to PLO. The best decision I ever made was to switch to higher stakes to decrease variance and most importantly be able to beat the rake.
Я не профессиональный игрок, но я стараюсь добиться максимального успеха на каждом турнире, в котором я участвую.
If you want to chat with pros, these threads might help you.
I played for a living from 2003-09 and at the end of that time I was utterly burnt out on it. It felt like I was on an assembly line, mechanical play with no joy. The first few years were wonderful, and my father lived with me the last several years of his life so being able to make good money sitting in my living room with him was a godsend. I went back to grad school and am now a university professor. I just started back playing poker a few months ago while recovering from knee surgery and am enjoying it as a hobby but have no desire to go back to grinding a living from the tables. I think it was a lot easier to play online for a living back then; you could just play ABC poker and people would hand you money. There was one site I was paid to play at ,( 2 BBs per hour per table, Limit poker $3/6 and $5/10 ), and had a $2000 deposit bonus for a $500 deposit : I could make $50-60 an hour just playing break-even poker.
I'm a recreational trying to be profitable in poker.

OAKLAND — Khris Davis hasn't batted sixth in the A's order since the 2016 season. But that's where he's hitting Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners as manager Bob Melvin hopes a different spot in the lineup can spark the A's slumping designated hitter.
With the A's looking for their fifth straight win, Melvin has Davis hitting sixth in the order Wednesday, right behind Ramón Laureano, in the second of a two-game series against the Mariners at the Coliseum.
Mark Canha will hit fourth Wednesday, where Davis has had the majority of his at-bats over the last two-plus seasons.
But Davis is batting just .194 (12-for-62) with one double, five RBI and no home runs over his last 18 games. It's the longest he's gone without a home run since earlier this year, when his homerless drought reached 20 games (April 14 to May 12). Davis was placed on the injured list in mid-May with a hip/oblique contusion.
Entering Wednesday, Davis is hitting .232 with 16 home runs and 45 RBI, well off his pace last season when he had a career-high 48 homers with 123 RBI.

"Just a change of scenery for Khris," Melvin said Wednesday morning. "Sometimes you struggle a little bit and a change of scenery can help. That's all it is. He'll be back in the four spot at some time, I have no doubt. But just trying to give him a different look."
Piscotty's progress
Right fielder Stephen Piscotty, recovering from a knee sprain, felt some discomfort Wednesday morning when he did some turning and cutting while running, according to Melvin.
Melvin said Piscotty will remain in Oakland "for a few days" while the A's open a road trip in Minnesota. He'll meet the A's in Houston from July 22-24 to be evaluated again. If he runs the bases at that point and the team clears him to play, he'll start his rehab assignment at that point.

Literally. An overwhelming number of social media posts about our beloved friend, Trophy Cupcakes, received an average of 36 "likes" per post. Not only does this mathematically prove that cupcakes rock, it also shows the importance of leveraging on people's all-time favorite brands to generate more likes and comments. These posts were accompanied by pictures of the most scrumptious looking baked goods we've ever seen!
If there is something that can touch the hearts of true Seattelites, it's the Seattle Seahawks. Despite their defeat this past January, Seahawks fans are still amazingly loyal, and passionate about the Emerald City's pride for the "12th Man". During the playoffs week, Pacific Place showed support for the Seahawks and acted as a cheerleader from their social media platform, Facebook.
Posts about popular events such as Fashion's Night Out, Seafair, Fourth of July, and Bumbershoot generated a tremendous amount of engagement. Event-specific posts are great because they're easy to respond to, and are not narrowed down to just Pacific Place.
You probably did not see this one coming. Yes, text, just plain text with no links or visuals! Numerous social media experts have emphasized the importance of including links, pictures, videos, making the post as engaging as possible, and avoid leaving posts with none of the above. While it is true that posts with visually creative content are far more interesting, Facebook's "Unfriendly New Algorithm" states otherwise. The new algorithms have shown that, since fall 2012, posts with pictures, videos, or links reached far less people than they did before, while plain content-less posts reached 20% more fans.
Pacific Place still managed to keep their simple status updates fun and interesting by sharing a fashionable quote from a favorite designer, or updating quick news for their engaged audience.
As shown by this case, maybe keeping it simple is the way to go.

New Twitter, Flickr mobile photo filters may be too little, too late
Trying to ape Instagram seems like a desperate move.
Chris Foresman - Dec 12, 2012 10:25 pm UTC
The latest versions of Flickr and Twitter offer Instagram-like filters.
Both Twitter and Flickr have recently updated their iOS apps, adding the ability to apply one-touch, retro-style filters to mobile photos uploaded to their respective services. The features seem like me-too additions after the spectacular rise of Instagram as a top social network. Instagram's success even prompted Facebook to swallow up the service—which generated no revenue and gave away its app and services for free—for a cool $1 billion.
Instagram is at once loved and hated for its signature filters like "Earlybird," which makes the most banal smartphone snaps look like old family photos, or "Nashville," which makes photos look like they were cut from a hip fashion magazine. Users love its ease-of-use, solid collection of one-touch filtered looks, and its ability to easily cross-post photos to other top social networks and blogs, while critics say its lo-fi filters are trite.
If you already use Instagram, the new filter features will likely feel redundant. If you don't care for Instagram-like filters to begin with, you might be wondering why Twitter or Flickr are bothering with such features at all. It all seems like "too little, too late," especially if Twitter and Flickr are hoping to compete with Instagram.
Let's take a brief look at both app updates and their new filtering capabilities.
Filter's the word
Twitter 5.2
Twitter has grafted on some very basic editing features to its native ability to capture an image and post it to a user's Twitter feed. There's a one-touch "magic wand" button that seems like little more than a simple "auto levels" control. If you have a decent image with reasonable white balance, its effects are negligible. If you have a crappy exposure, there's a chance this button might make it a little better. There's also a simple crop tool which allows you to freely crop or constrain the cropping to Instagram's now-ubiquitous square format.
Enlarge / Twitter has a selection of eight photo filters of dubious quality.
Then you have a choice of eight different filters you can apply. You can swipe left or right to view the filters at full size, or tap the filter button to show all eight options (along with the unfiltered image) at once. The contact sheet selection is actually a nice usability improvement over Instagram, which forces you to choose one at a time.
However, the filters are largely uninspired. The "Cinematic" and "Gritty" options are the only two that seem worth the effort at all. To be fair, these look mostly unlike anything Instagram currently offers.
All these capabilities are powered by Aviary, which offers a photo editing Web app of the same name as well as a mobile SDK that adds its editing capabilities to mobile apps. Despite the breadth of editing options the Aviary SDK includes, Twitter has limited editing to the bare minimum. On the one hand, this emulates Instragram's simplicity. On the other, though, most of what it offers seems of little value.
Flickr 2.0
Flickr has added its own take on photo filters. You can slap on one of 15 different built-in filters that are confusingly named after animals (including, of course, narwhal). The selection of filters looks much better than what Twitter offers, as it includes a wider variety. Some filters include kitschy borders that, unlike Instagram, can't be turned off.
To its credit, Flickr offers many more editing options than Twitter does. Tap the "pencil" icon and you can edit to your heart's content using all the features the Aviary SDK covers: white balance, contrast, cropping, and more. This should appeal more to Flickr's core audience, which leans more toward photo enthusiasts than casual snappers.
Enlarge / Flickr adds some 15 filters, but also includes a full suite of photo editing controls.
Once you've edited an image, you can share it to Twitter, Facebook (though some bug prevented me from activating Facebook sharing on my iPhone), Tumblr, and e-mail, even as the image uploads to Flickr.
Critically, the updated Flickr app offers a much better browsing interface than previous, half-hearted versions of its iOS app. The presentation is in some ways similar to Instagram's "timeline" scrolling view, and it allows you to mark images as favorites or to leave comments. You can view the overall Flickr stream, photos from your friends, your own photos, and more. This alone captures much more of the Instagram experience than Twitter ever could, which is more about the social aspects of the service than its filters.
Enlarge / The updated Flickr iOS app offers a vastly improved browsing experience, making social interaction much easier.
Also as important, the app doesn't limit your photos to its own service like Twitter does. This is similar to posting photos with Instagram—you can post images to Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Flickr, Tumblr, and e-mail as well as Instagram. Most photo editing apps (on iOS and other platforms) have a similar ability to share images to multiple services; Flickr embraces this, while Twitter does not.
Too little, too late
However, throwing in some photo filters doesn't really make Twitter or Flickr go-to apps for editing and sharing mobile photos. As noted above, Twitter's efforts feel largely half-baked, and I don't think it will pull many users away from Instagram. I also don't believe the new features are going to convince users that have abandoned Twitter's native app for (largely better) competing apps—such as Tweetbot, Twitterrific, Echofon, and HootSuite—to switch back anytime soon.
Flickr's browsing and upload improvements should definitely appeal to long-time users of the service. Its more Instagram-like browsing may attract some new users, but it seems like Flickr largely ceded the casual market to Facebook and Instagram long ago. (And I say this as a $25 per year paid member since 2004.) Given the more photo enthusiast demographic that Flickr still appeals to, the filters are probably less welcome than they would be with Twitter users.
Critically, plenty of other iOS apps offer a wide variety of editing and filtering options, all of which can post photos to Twitter, Flickr, or both. I'd whole-heartedly recommend many of those options over what Twitter and Flickr are offering here. Instead of trying to superficially copy Instagram's style, perhaps Twitter and Flickr both need to evaluate what their respective strengths are (or, as Om Malik put it, ask "what do you stand for?"). Focus on those aspects, iterate and improve the core experience, and skip bolting on me-too features.

I am kind of happy to hear of the Flickr app though, it sounds like beyond the filters (which seems to be the focus of this article rather than noting that zombie flickr finally put out what might be a useful app for their service), Flickr is offering a nice tool. Let's imagine you're one of those rare folks that's not really on Facebook all the time but you do want to upload pictures to some public location now and then, what are your options? Twitter has no galleries, image sharing sites like imgur are nifty, but the albums are kind of so-so and the apps offer no editing. Flickr seems like the obvious go-to service if you want to post outside of the social networking diaspora.
I agree in general, and I tried to make clear that Flickr doesn't just have some new Instagram-like filters. I think Flickr would be better served if it got rid of the filters altogether and focused on the core uploading experience, with the Aviary-based editing as a nice optional step. Instead, filters are front-and-center if you are taking new images to upload.
The experience isn't perfect for the demographic of users that I think Flickr will attract, but I do agree it's worlds better than the old 1.x app, which was pretty terrible.

If you're following the schedule, you should read these chapters today: Leviticus 18, Psalm 22, Ecclesiastes 1, 1 Timothy 3. Click on any of those references to see all the passages in one long page on BibleGateway. If you can't do all the readings today, read 1 Timothy 3.
If you were starting an organization and looking for leaders to help it succeed, what kind of person would you look for? You might look for wealthy people who could donate financially to the organization and help manage the money the organization receives. You might look for people who have been successful elsewhere—starting a successful business, becoming a college president, holding a prestigious political office. You might look for someone famous who can draw attention to your organization. These are all reasonable things to look for, humanly speaking, but not one of them is reflected in the list of qualities God tells us to look for in church leaders. Here in 1 Timothy 3, Paul writes out for Timothy a description of the kind of man (or woman, in the case of deacons, see verse 11) that the church in Ephesus should be choosing. He has no interest in finding those who are successful in business or politics; he says nothing about finding someone famous. He also, by the way, doesn't tell them to look for someone who can speak piously or impress people with their spiritual-sounding words or unique theological insights. Instead, he commends as leaders those who live a life consistent with a heart that has been changed by the grace of God in salvation. This kind of leader is "above reproach" meaning that nobody can bring forth evidence that would call into question his moral character. That phrase "above reproach" in verse 2a, and the similar phrase "worthy of respect" in verses 8a & 11a are blanket statements that summarize a person's character. The phrases that follow "above reproach" such as "faithful to his wife, temperate," etc. give more specifics about all the areas Timothy should consider when he judges whether a potential elder or deacon is truly "above reproach." All the things on this list are outward evidences of godly character within; the only task-oriented qualification is for the overseer (which is an other word for the office of pastor or elder) who must be "able to teach" (v. 2).
Our world cares about people who can perform in the marketplace. If a man can sell, his employer doesn't care if he is "faithful to his wife" (v.2) or if "his children obey him" (v. 4). Verse 3 details several sins that must not be true of elders in God's church; these sins—drunkenness, violence, quarrelsome, lover of money—have led leaders of secular organizations into sins and crimes that embarrassed and tarnished the entire organization. That's bad enough when you're trying to sell a product; when, like the church, you represent God and claim to have a life-changing message of grace that transforms and liberates sinners from these kinds of sins, an elder or deacon who is known for such things undermines the message of Christ.
In addition to giving us guidance about what kind of leaders to choose for our church, these paragraphs give us some character qualities to evaluate in our own lives. Not every Christian will become an elder or deacon, but all of us should desire and strive for a genuine walk with God that leads us to holiness. As we become holy by the power of God's grace, these qualities will emerge like fruit in our lives. If you find yourself convicted because you're lacking one of the godly characteristics elders/deacons should have or if you see in your life one of the sinful qualities that should not be true of godly leaders, ask God for grace and help to grow in that area because you want to be like Jesus.


NM Engineering Adjustable Sway Bar Endlinks for R50, R52, R53, R55, R56, R57, R58, R59, R60 MINI Cooper (base and S models) are available for either front OR rear (front available in standard OR the shorter 'SPEC-B' 1.5" shorter) applications. See drop down menu for options.
Everything starts with the material – after all, it is the foundation of the part. NM Engineering did not skimp here as these links are precision CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum in California. Because this is a high-stress part, 7075 was chosen because it has the same tensile strength as steel, yet is much lighter. Just to compare, 7075-T6 has almost twice the tensile strength compared to 6061-T6.
Another benefit afforded by 7075-T6 is it allowed NM Engineering to machine or turn-down the centers of the links to save weight and stay clear of elements such as brake lines and brake pad sensor wires. To give you an idea how thin the link is, the centers of the NM links are thinner than a standard AA battery.
By the way, a quick note on the materials used…whether it is 6061-T6 or 7075-T6, all grade materials purchased are certified. Uncertified scrap or overrun materials from metal/alloy vendors is NEVER used.
NM Engineering's Rear Adjustable Sway Bar Links will not yield like their OE counterparts making sure that all suspension movements are transmitted to the sway bar for maximum performance. This part is a must, especially on lowered vehicles or cars equipped with aftermarket sway bars.
