Players of the United States celebrate during the awarding ceremony of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup at Stade de Lyon in Lyon
Team USA have lifted the Women's World Cup for a record fourth time with a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands in Sunday's final in Lyon.
The reigning champions and world number one, who had never placed lower than third at a Women's World Cup, triumphed after two second-half goals.
Golden Ball winner Megan Rapinoe opened the scoring from the spot in the 61st minute after the video assistant referee intervened to award USA a penalty.
Eight minutes later Rose Lavelle added a second to seal the victory in front of almost 58,000 fans.
"It's surreal," Rapinoe said. "I don't know how to feel. It's ridiculous."
US boss Jill Ellis became the first-ever coach to win back-to-back Women's World Cup titles, while 12 members from that squad in 2015 were part of this team.
"They put their heart and soul into this journey, and I can't thank them enough," Ellis said.
Meanwhile, Sweden defeated England 2-1 on Saturday to claim third place.

Hand-built acoustic guitar is made from the baseboards of Jimi Hendrix' childhood home.
Jul. 20, 2017 5:00 p.m.
After a broom and a dumpster-dived ukulele with just one string, Jimi Hendrix' first guitar was a $5 acoustic he got second-hand.
Hendrix quickly switched to electric — his first band, The Velvetones, was drowning him out — and it was on electric that he ascended to rock guitar god-dom.
But in Sandspit of all places, there is now an acoustic guitar built from the baseboards, nails, paint, and wiring of the Seattle home where 15-year-old Hendrix first learned to play.
Handmade by Reuben Forsland, a Métis luthier in Comox, its soundboard is made from the fir baseboards of Hendrix' bedroom.
Inside the silver fret markers are wires and nails from the home. For the rosette, the decorative trim around the soundhole, Forsland inlaid bits of paint from the Hendrix home floor, encased in 150 pieces of ebony.
"That's what this guy does, all the time," says Kevin Hennig, owner of SymphonTree Music, a specialized guitar shop based in Sandspit.
Hennig said he first heard of Forsland about 10 years ago, when the carpenter and furniture maker started making his first off-the-wall "story" guitars — including one made from shipworm-eaten salvage wood.
A few years ago, Forsland custom-made a guitar for Slash of Guns N' Roses featuring Honduran mahogany from "The Tree" — a single tree with highly patterned wood long-prized by guitar makers, and tuner buttons made from petrified whale vertebrae.
His latest is made from a 3,300 year-old Sitka spruce that grew on Prince of Wales island, north of Haida Gwaii.
Besides the detailing, Hennig said the trick with the Hendrix home guitar was making a great-sounding sounding guitar with a fir top.
"Most people have only ever heard a spruce guitar, maybe a cedar now and then," he said.
Another luthier is now in Hennig's shop, building a guitar that features wood from Haida Gwaii — something Hennig hopes to see more of in the future.
Speaking about Jimi Hendrix, remembered by Rolling Stone as the greatest rock guitarist of all time for the carefree way he drew new sounds from the electric guitar (and its feedback), Hennig said it's amazing what Hendrix did in just seven years of recording.
Just before he died, Hendrix taped some rough demos for Black Gold, an album he imagined as a series of playful 'pieces' well outside rock 'n roll. Mostly unreleased, tapes are some of the only recordings of Hendrix playing an acoustic, and fans are still hoping to hear them.


The T-Engine has Flash Memory (ROM) that allows developers to store their finalized codes on the T-Engine itself. Storing the executable in the flash memory of the T-Engine allows the developers to use the PC Card slot and the USB host for devices other than program storage. This also allows the developer to automatically start up the user's application on boot up. In this article, we discuss two different techniques to store the program into the flash memory of the T-Engine development kit.
For the sake of this article, we assume that you are using the SH7727 T-Engine from Personal Media Corporation. We have tried the following steps only on the SH7727 T-Engine. If you try it out on another T-Engine, please let us know so that we can include the information on this page. Also, if the procedure does not work for you and you make some changes, do let us know so that we can make the information available to other users.
For the sake of this article, we assume that you are using the T-Engine from Personal Media Corporation. We have tried the following steps only on the SH7727 T-Engine. If you try it out on another T-Engine, please let us know so that we can include the information on this page. Also, if the procedure does not work for you and you make some changes, do let us know so that we can make the information available to other users.
The physical ROM size in the SH7727 T-Engine is 8MB and it includes the T-Monitor, configuration data, ROM user programs, etc. The organization of the data in the memory is as shown below.
The T-Monitor is stored at the boot address (0×8000 0000) and is allocated 64KB of space. The next 64KB are reserved for configuration information – ROMInfo occupies 128 bytes and the remaining area is reserved for System and Device Configuration (SYSCONF and DEVCONF). The remaining area (8064KB) is the "User Area" and can be used by the developer, and may be organized either as memory or as a ROMDisk.
Serial/Console -> ROM: The first method uses the T-Monitor to completely overwrite the 8MB of space with the contents of an S-Record file (i.e., an image file with the address structure as shown above) transferred over the serial port. This method should be used when there is a need to reset the contents of the flash memory to a known state. This method is used when the T-Monitor also needs to be replaced, for example when PMC releases a new version of the software and you want to replace all the data in the ROM disk with the new version.
PC Card -> ROM: The second method only overwrites the User Area of the flash memory. As shown in the picture above, this includes everything except the T-Monitor and the configuration area. Since this area is 8064KB in size, everything that needs to be put into the flash memory must be smaller than 8064KB. This includes the data files, user application, T-Kernel, etc. In this case, the data to be copied to flash memory comes from a bootable PC Card that has a 7MB partition. All the contents to be stored in the flash memory must first be downloaded to the card and then transferred to the flash memory using the procedure discussed here.
When the system is started, the T-Monitor is the first program to execute out of the ROM Disk (internal flash memory). It initializes the system and starts the T-Kernel. Depending on the configuration, it can boot the kernel from flash memory, or from a Compact Flash Card. Upon starting up, the T-Monitor reads PBOOT from the ROM Disk (rda) and can continue to boot from Compact Flash if a bootable Compact Flash Card is plugged into the PC Card slot. If a bootable CF Card is plugged into the PC Card slot, the system will always continue to boot from the PC Card (irrespective of other settings).
If not, the T-Monitor will also read the following files from the ROM: SBOOT, KERNEL.SYS, SYSCONF, DEVCONF, STARTUP.CMD, and chgsys. At this point, the T-Kernel has been loaded and contains the drivers that provide the support to read from the USB port. Now, it will continue to read the remaining files from the USB storage if a bootable disk is plugged in to the USB port. This is because the T-Monitor itself does not support the USB mass storage – this support is provided by the "upper OS".
For more details about the booting and startup procedure of the T-Engine, refer to the latest manuals from PMC. Our main reference was Section 2.4 for from the T-Engine/SH7727 Development Kit Manual 1.A0.06 (January 2005).
Find the image file that you want to write to the flash memory. Such a file should be part of the T-Engine Development Kit that you obtained from PMC (or downloaded from their support website). Ensure that you select the correct image file – in the case of some T-Engine kits, there are two or more files depending on the LCD installed on the board. In that case, selecting the wrong file may make the T-Engine useless, and you will need to find another way to restore the earlier image (such as using a debug board).
Usually, the file will be called romimage.mot and is on the development kit CD. Use a terminal software to connect to the T-Engine and perform the following steps.
1. Start the T-Monitor either by resetting the T-Engine by pushing the reset switch (SW–2) with pressing NMI switch (SW–3), or by using the '#' command at the "/SYS>" prompt.
3. The following prompt appears.
4. When prompted as above, send the appropriate romimage.mot file from the terminal software to the console as normal text.
Update Monitor Area, Restart System after Writing.
5. After the file is transferred, it is written on the flash memory automatically, and the system will restart automatically.
This procedure requires a compact flash card to be plugged into the PC Card slot. Start up the T-Engine and follow the steps below.
1. Create a boot disk on the PC-Card. As mentioned earlier, the largest size of the boot partition must be less than 8064KB. This involves the usual steps of partitioning and formatting the disk. Also, you need to make the partition bootable. All the steps are shown below.
2. Once the above steps have been completed, you should be able to boot the T-Engine using the PC Card. Add, remove or replace any of the files from this partition if you want. You may now download your application onto the PC Card and modify the startup.cli file to allow your application to automatically execute when the system is started. Try booting it from the PC card once to ensure the application boots up correctly before proceeding to the next step.
3. Remove the PC Card and reboot the system so that it starts from the ROM (rda), and enter the T-Monitor.
4. Input WriteRda (WRDA) command with the name of the source partition on the PC-Card from which the flash will be over-written. In our case, we are using pca0 since that is the partition which we created in the first step. Any other valid partition (less than 8MB, bootable and with all the files on it) can be used.
5. The contents of the boot disk on PC-Card are read and written to ROM disk on flash memory. After the ROM disk is updated, reboot the system.
Notice that the name of the ROMDisk has been updated to WORK. This means that you cannot now attach a PC-CARD or any other partition with the name "WORK" on this system as the ROM Disk partition (rda) is now named "WORK". You will need to update the partition on the CF card by formatting it again. Alternatively, if you prefer the ROM Disk to be called something else, you should use that as the name of the CF Card partition when you create the partition from which the ROMDisk will be updated.
This procedure uses the T-Monitor for carrying out the work. Since the T-Monitor does not include drivers for the USB host, this procedure can only be carried out from the PC Card and not from a USB storage device.
The format command in the T-Engine asks for the size of the partition, but it asks for the number of Mega Bytes. This means that you cannot create it to be 8064KB (as we want it to be). You can only create it as 7MB or 8MB – since the size must be smaller than 8064KB, we need to create it as 7MB.

Sexual Assault And Forgiveness NPR's Scott Simon asks Atlantic contributor Caitlin Flanagan about this week's Supreme Court testimony and about the possibility of atonement and forgiveness for sexual assault perpetrators.
Sexual Assault And Forgiveness
Sexual Assault And Forgiveness 4:37
NPR's Scott Simon asks Atlantic contributor Caitlin Flanagan about this week's Supreme Court testimony and about the possibility of atonement and forgiveness for sexual assault perpetrators.
SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
The vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, or not, has been delayed for a week to allow for an FBI investigation into several allegations against him of sexual assault and misconduct. Caitlin Flanagan of The Atlantic watched the testimony this week of Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh. She's written about being the victim of a sexual assault in high school and said before Thursday's hearings that she tended to believe Dr. Ford based on her own experience.
Caitlin Flanagan joins us now from NPR West. Thanks so much for being with us.
CAITLIN FLANAGAN: Thanks for having me.
SIMON: We were left with the impression you thought you'd have - that you believed her story to the - and did not believe him.
FLANAGAN: You know, this is just speaking for myself as just one American. I absolutely believe what she's saying. It's one of those stories that sounds very true and very believable.
SIMON: And yet, you've said on Twitter you're not certain that what you consider to be - you used the word, lies, and inconsistencies is enough to keep him off the Supreme Court.
FLANAGAN: Well, what I think is that she's completely believable, but we don't have any evidence. So now we have to take a pause. And I was so very happy when I heard that there will be this FBI investigation because she's come forward in such a strong way, and it's time for the FBI to start talking to some people.
SIMON: I know it's a what if, but what if the FBI comes back after a week and says, you know, we can't make a determination one way or another, but we can tell you that's not what boofing means, that's not what Devil's Triangle means, and the judge lied about this?
FLANAGAN: You know, it's - you get into these legal issues, and we don't know. He certainly - maybe we've looked at him more closely than other candidates, or maybe he is more of a rascal than other candidates have been if - even if he didn't commit this assault.
But it's so interesting. I was talking to my husband this morning, and he's very stirred up about this and upset that he might get confirmed. And I said, well, honey, if you took out every man in a position of authority in the country who did something like this, we wouldn't have many left.
SIMON: Do you really think that's true? I mean, have most men in this country committed sexual assault?
FLANAGAN: I don't think most men in this country have committed sexual assault of the kind that we're looking at now. But I would say there's an awful lot of men who grew up when the norms were different. And the things we have not reconciled for 50 years is we have not reconciled the sexual revolution with feminism. And they don't sit easily together, and we're not sure where to go forward. And this is another one of these events that's falling into an area that means a lot to an awful lot of women.
SIMON: You were the victim of sexual assault in high school, and your attacker apologized to you - once, yearbook inscription, another time two years later in a chance encounter. And you accepted it, and this made a difference. Recognizing that Brett Kavanaugh said he did nothing, should there be something - some avenue opened in this country, legally or culturally, that would let people apologize for something that they now know is wrong and cruel and gives them shame?
FLANAGAN: Oh, I think about this all the time. You know, I think apologies and forgiveness - they're probably the only things that can ever really heal after a crime like this has happened. But there is a tremendous risk that a man takes for apologizing right now.
You know, this is what Trump has taught us, in a way - is you don't admit it, you don't admit it, you don't admit it, and you go from strength to strength. And, you know, a man might apologize to a woman in a beautiful email, and she might very rightly use this as evidence of what he did to her and take that to somebody that would care about it - maybe at his work, maybe somewhere else.
I think there is tremendous risks to these apologies. So I don't know what to say about that. I know from a spiritual and moral standpoint, it's 100 percent the right thing to do. I don't know if we've really been very honest with ourselves sometimes in thinking about what risk a man poses to himself by doing that.
SIMON: Caitlin Flanagan, contributing writer to The Atlantic. Thanks so much for being with us.
FLANAGAN: Thanks for having me.

McCarthy: Moore Should Aim to Emulate Kightly and Mings
Saturday, 14th Jan 2017 18:53
Town boss Mick McCarthy has told new signing Kieffer Moore to go out and try to emulate the success of previous non-league recruits Michael Kightly and Tyrone Mings, the 24-year-old striker having signed an 18-month deal from Forest Green Rovers earlier today. Art lunchtime, TWTD revealed that Moore was at Portman Road and was close to completing his move.
McCarthy signed Kightly from Grays Athletic in 2006 when Wolves manager with the winger going on to play in the Premier League with the Molineux club, Stoke and Burnley.
Mings joined the Blues for £10,000 - the fee Town are believed to have paid for Moore - from Chippenham in 2012 before moving on to Premier League AFC Bournemouth in the summer of 2015 for £8 million.
McCarthy says Moore is far from his only signing at Town that fans won't have known much about when he joined.
"Tom Lawrence, you didn't either, to be fair, and I seem to remember Ryan Fraser, you didn't either," he said.
"I just said to Kieffer, just be careful, don't be going on social media because we've had million pound bids in for players and it's not happened and now we've got one in from Forest Green.
"Don't be looking at [social media] and getting, 'If that's the signing of Ipswich…' because two of my very best signings have been Michael Kightly and Tyrone Mings, who cost diddly squat and because they've got that hunger in them, they want to do well, they want to progress up the ladder, they've done brilliantly.
"Take heart from them, not from multi-million pound ones or bigger signings. I'm happy having a hungry one, me."
Absolutely over the moon to have joined @Official_ITFC Excited by this massive opportunity and I can't wait to get going!!! ⚽ #itfc pic.twitter.com/w6nM94bE5b— Kieffer Moore (@KRFMoore) January 14, 2017
McCarthy says he first spotted Moore playing alongside Lawrence for Yeovil in the Championship in 2013/14.
"He hit the post in the 90th minute that night [at Huish Park when Town won 1-0] when Tom Lawrence played well and caught my eye.
"He caught my eye then, he's since gone out to play for Viking [in Norway] and then he's come back and he's at Forest Green.
"That doesn't bother me. I look at the big centre forward for Lincoln last week [Matt Rhead], how much trouble did he cause? Bloody hell fire. Would we have liked him in our team? On a lot of weeks this season, yes I would.
"There are players about that can be a real asset for us, and I think Kieffer will be one of them."
What sort of player is Moore? "I think he's 6ft 6in tall, but he's mobile, he's quick enough, he's got a decent touch.
"What I like about him is that he just doesn't use his height, his weight and his strength, he actually goes and attacks the ball and that's something that we don't have.
"And we're failing to get that anywhere else in terms of making bids for others, and so I'm delighted, I've got a relatively young, hungry one coming in."
He says there are other players currently being targeted: "We've got bids in, but I did say it would be a tough window because people don't want to sell anybody and that's the case.
"We'll keep trying but if they're too expensive, if you can't afford the house you're looking at, the favourite house, it's unlucky, you can't buy it."
He added: "We've had three or four one million pound-plus bids in for players, but they've all been kiboshed.
"We're still working on them and trying to do them, but if they're too expensive I can't do owt about it.
"And what you really have to do if you spend that money is get somebody in who is better than what we've got, who will make an impression.
"Hopefully that's what we'll do and if we can't I don't see any point in going anywhere else and getting somebody that's going to be here for three years and not make an impression."
Rotherham striker Danny Ward is believed to be one of the players the Blues have targeted, but with plenty of Championship clubs - now including QPR and Norwich City, we understand - also interested.
Millers boss Paul Warne confirmed this evening that the South Yorskshiremen have turned down two bids for Ward, who missed today's 2-1 victory over Norwich with a back injury.
The Blues are also reported to have had a £1.5 million offer for Preston's Jordan Hugill rebuffed with both McCarthy and Lilywhites boss Simon Grayson having confirmed Town's interest if not that a firm bid was made.

A young(ish) player for the future is a good thing. Perhaps get a few minutes in dead rubbers at the end of this season. Good long term planning.
However, in the meantime we need reinforcements. It's no point the club keep spouting they have million pound plus bids for players, because deals don't seem to get done. It's all wearing slightly thin. Get deals done.
tractorboyjim added 19:04 - Jan 14
I'll take half a dozen of signings like this IN ADDITION to a couple who can come in and lead from the front from the get go. Much prefer this approach than the "oh god another 30+ has been" -as we had u see Jewell
Mark added 19:04 - Jan 14
Well, if he takes a look at the social media that is this site we welcome signings from non-league and often argue this is the way to go rather than getting players not making it at other Championship clubs.
As for the £1M bids, if we want an established Championship striker that is probably too little in today's market, after all we sold a 33-year-old for £3M ourselves. £1M might just tempt Grimsby to part with Omar Bogle though?
TractorCam added 19:06 - Jan 14
Spot on words, how can people be ruling him out without seeing him play? We can only make him feel welcome and give him our support
osborne added 19:07 - Jan 14
Welcome Kieffer. Hope you liked what you saw and heard today. Good luck here.
getawig added 19:08 - Jan 14
See Dino can't resisit another dig at the fans. Both Fraser and Lawrence were highly rated by their clubs and known to some fans in the wider football world.
muccletonjoe added 19:09 - Jan 14
I think there will be someone else coming through the door next week
Pip50 added 19:18 - Jan 14
Come on the next Vardy.
If you don't buy a ticket in the raffle lol.
TimmyH added 19:19 - Jan 14
...and bring in the owner a good net profit.
Warkys_Tash added 19:23 - Jan 14
Getaway, really? 90% of fans knew nothing about Lawrence or Fraser if they are honest. Give McCarthy credit where its due & a kicking where is due but not for the sake of being negative.
Today the fans were positive at PR & what a difference that made.
runningout added 19:27 - Jan 14
would hope and imagine he'll be his own man, and want to do a lot better than Kightly and Mings
Warkys tache I think you do a little dis service to fans as Fraser was
being touted as a top prospect before he arrived here. But even if you are right and few fans knew about them surely to is MM 's job to know about such players and not take a swipe at the fans?
bbg added 19:45 - Jan 14
Scored five goals in the championship for a struggling Yeovil side and was signed by a top Norwegian team. Lots of players go abroad and don't settle. If nothing else might be a useful option late in games when balls are being put into both boxes, but apparently he can play a bit on the deck as well.
This could well be another masterstroke by MM. Don't forget Daryl Murphy was not a prolific goal scorer until he was almost in his 30's, and his signing was not welcomed by many either.
Brownie added 19:49 - Jan 14
Can't comment on this lad as haven't seen him play but welcome Keifer & sound advice from MM!
We need a few signings & we need some that are ready to go straight into the team - they cost money Mr Evans. Young & hungry is a good start though.
I don't see MM's comments as having dig at the fans just some of them. I want a change of manager but do think that some on this site & others would slate the manager whatever the result. Time for a change yes but a bit of balance from some wouldn't be a bad idea.
Bbg - hard to judge him at Vikings - played centreback majority of his games there. Former fitness instructor who really knows how to keep himself in shape, fitness obsessed which is a great thing and seems hungry.
ArnieM added 21:01 - Jan 14
...yes the fans were good today, but that was because the players, team, tactics, we're set up to attack the opposition. THAT why it felt positive at the ground today. It really ain't rocket science.
BlueMachines added 21:30 - Jan 14
I remember Fraser playing against us the previous season and being impressed. Certainly not unknown.
Also it's MM's job to watch players. So I would expect him to know about some players. Shame he doesn't know the best ones at his own club.
smellmycheese added 22:06 - Jan 14
Agree. Fraser tormented our right back ( Chambers ) the season before tearing down the left with feeedom to attack at will and with little to no defensive duties. As Mick has often done with signings for Ipswich he saw Fraser have a fantastic game against us and then kept tabs on him. Not exactly earth shattering scouting from you Mick: sorry.
Welcome Kieffer.
dirtydingusmagee added 05:22 - Jan 15
GOOD LUCK Kieff.
martin587 added 08:58 - Jan 15
An article in the Sunday paper today reads"Ipswich owner fears MM will leave at the end of the season so has funded a January spending spree".Should he not have done this last summer when DM was sold.
I just wonder how much funding he will make available,and who he will let go.Very interesting but I won't hold my breath.
itsonlyme added 09:06 - Jan 15
Have we not been saying for a long time that we need to go down the divisions to bring in the hungry talented players that want to play for us. This is a great start. Welcome Keiffer and I don't mind if we bring in a few more of your ilk to our club. I have been vociferous against MM, but I say well done to him and well done to the lads for yesterday's performance.
Martin587, sorry mate ,Costa will not be coming here, don't expect too much .
dirtyindisgusmagee,
Are you suggesting a cup of coffee old chap.!!
He wouldn't want to emulate Mings after yesterdays shocking performance against Hull, looks like Howe wants to play him in the centre (perhaps to slow for a RB) - he was culpable for 2 of Hull' goals and the other delected off him into the goal, shame really as he has been out for some time.
barrystedmunds added 12:10 - Jan 15
Having watched Mings, albeit on MOTD highlights, he had a rude awakening to premiership football yesterday. All three Hull goals,if you were being hard on the lad, you could say he was in some way at fault! 8 million?


The brief for this project was to create a concept for the new terminal at Abu Dhabi airport. MDI designed the terminal specifically with the travellers' needs in mind. The visually striking design has made maximum use of natural daylight allowing the space to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere. Not only have we used natural light to its maximum but we have also provided striking vertical gardens within the terminal. As a priority of the brief, passenger movement is a fundamental aspect of the design development process. The curvaceous, fluid forms provide an iconic welcoming to Abu Dhabi.

I love vintage mirrors! Let's face it, I love almost all vintage things! I am a collector, sometimes even on the verge of being a hoarder.
My little boy threw a toy at the tv and broke it. My first thought, "now I won't be able to turn on Mickey Mouse to entertain him while I am cooking or cleaning in the kitchen" Then a more positive thought…"now I won't have to hear Mickey Mouse while I am cooking and cleaning in the kitchen!" After a few days without a tv upstairs, I really started to love it! I have never been huge into watching tv. I took the tv off the wall and started to set my mirrors and some vintage books on the buffet.
For a couple weeks I just looked at all the mirrors and books while trying to decide if I really want to hang them, or put another tv on the wall. One evening my husband said that he was starting to like the layered look of all the mirrors, I knew it was meant to be….he never has an opinion on anything I am doing around our house. He helped me figure out how to hang some of the mirrors in front of the others.
We simply measured how far out the mirrors came from the wall, and then made a wood block to match that thickness. We screwed the wood block to the wall, (if the screws don't go into a stud, I highly recommend using some anchors to support the weight of the mirror). Then we put a screw at the top of the block to hang the mirror from.
Loving the way it turned out, but I am sure that I will still be tweaking it until it's perfect to me!
What do you think? Too many mirrors? Too much going on? Or do you like it?
Wonderful idea! So clever how you put it together and the results are stunning! Thx for sharing!
This looks great! I would never have thought of doing this.
I did a mirror gallery wall up my stair case, and I never pass up vintage and antique mirrors when I am out junkin'. You have a beautiful collection!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment!! I will definitely link up to Thursday Favorite things, on Thursday on your blog!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! I can't believe my post was so highly viewed! I'm thrilled!!!
Oh my goodness, this is fabulous! Love it! Thanks for sharing at our Spring Tea party!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! I have had my mirrors for a few years and have been pinning mirror gallery walls for years, but I was always too worried that it wouldn't turn out…so glad that I finally put them up! If you like the mirror gallery wall, You should definitely do it! I would love to see pictures of it when you do!
I absolutely love your mirrored gallery wall. Thank you for the tutorial on how to hang them. Thank you for sharing at the Tea and Roses Linky party. Have a safe and happy Memorial Day!
I love the mirrors and old books.
I love how you layered all the differently textured mirrors, and awesome that you showed people how to do it! I'm a vintage mirror hoarder, and this is a great way to not have to pick a favorite! I'm featuring this on my favorites from the Spring Tea link party-thanks for joining in! Pinned, too!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for leaving such a sweet comment!!!
I hope you will also come over and link up your creative ideas at Thursday Favorite Things on Thursday! Have a great week!
What a fun way to display your mirrors.
Great idea! We aren't fans of TV and in fact only have one small TV in our kitchen sitting room. It rarely is turned on!
Your mirrors are all lovely. Great collection! I have a friend who started buying mirrors, all with gold frames. She hung them in her stairwell. It's exquisite!

The Super Spies and The High School Bomber Excerpt!
This is the second part to the excerpt posts (scroll down to see part one) and today it's from book two in the Super Spies series by Lisa Orchard, The Super Spies and The High School Bomber! Again, this post will include the synopsis of the book, the excerpt and then more about the author. So let's get to it!
This book opens in a small town in Michigan where Sarah and her sister Lacey are now living with their Aunt and Uncle. Teetering from the fact her parents have disappeared, Sarah starts the school year with her new friend Jackie Jenkins. When Sarah learns the school has been bombed, she's filled with dread. Uncle Walt is a teacher, and he was in the school when the bomb exploded. Taking matters into her own hands, Sarah decides to search for him. The rest of the Super Spies are right behind her. When a fireman chases them away from the school, Sarah becomes suspicious. His fire retardant coat doesn't fit and his hat's too big. She decides to investigate. Suddenly, the FBI arrives on the scene. Now Sarah realizes this bombing could have even bigger implications. Searching for the bombers, Sarah is introduced to the world of terrorism. She fears that the bombing and her parents' disappearance are connected and terrorists are involved. Trying to keep her family together, Sarah and the Super Spies take it upon themselves to find the motive behind the bombing and the bombers themselves. Working with the FBI, the Super Spies race to catch the bombers before they set off another bomb. Will they succeed? Find out by reading the next book in the Super Spies series. "The Super Spies and the High School Bomber."
A whoosh of roiling hot air lifted Sarah Cole and flung her against the kitchen wall like a fumbled football. At the same time, the windows burst into millions of pieces, showering everything with tiny shards of glass. Sarah crumpled to the floor, still clutching the phone. She lay there stunned, unable to inhale or exhale.
"Sarah! Sarah!" her younger sister, Lacey, screamed from the bathroom, where she'd been drying her hair.
The ringing in her ears was so intense, Sarah could barely hear her. Groaning, she opened her eyes and saw only red through her right one. Dread rippled through her body.
"Sarah! Sarah!" Lacey cried again.
Sarah dropped the phone, and put her hand up to her eye. She fingered the area gently before pulling her hand away. Blood. "Lacey," she croaked, unable to manage more than that.
"Sarah! Where are you?"
"The kitchen," Sarah said, finally able to breathe. She blinked her eyes twice and her vision cleared. Relief flooded her body and she wilted against the floor.
"Holy Moley!" Lacey shrieked.
Sarah jumped at the sound of her voice. She didn't realize Lacey had come up the stairs and into the kitchen. The ringing in her ears was almost gone.
"You're bleeding!"
"No kidding," Sarah said, covering her right eye with her hand and glaring at Lacey with her uncovered one. She brushed her shoulder length blonde hair away from her face and gasped at the blood running down her arm.
"We've got to get you to the hospital!" Lacey screamed in a voice edged with hysteria.
"Stop freaking out!" Sarah gave Lacey the old one-eyed glare again.
"Sarah, there's blood everywhere," her sister whimpered as she wrung her hands. She gazed around her. "What happened? Did our furnace blow up or something?"
"I don't think so." Sarah shook her head, dust particles and slivers of glass cascaded to the floor. She furrowed her brow and absentmindedly brushed off her clothes. "I think something exploded outside. Help me up."
Lacey held out her hand to Sarah and pulled her into a sitting position.
Blinking, Sarah gazed around the kitchen. On most days it was a sunny room with pineapple wallpaper and pine cabinets. It was the most popular room in the house—everyone congregated there during the holidays. Sarah blinked again. Dust floated through the air and glass littered the yellow linoleum floor. She groaned and turned her attention to her arm. As she examined the blood running down it, another wave of panic flooded through her body. Sarah's legs wobbled when she stood and she stumbled as she reached for a kitchen towel that lay on the counter. She used the soft cloth to blot her eye. When she pulled the towel away, she was shocked to see the amount of blood that had soaked into it. Sarah gulped, trying to swallow her fear as beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
With unsteady feet, Sarah stumbled into the hall where a mirror hung.
She was afraid to look. Taking some deep breaths, she stared into the cracked mirror and noticed a cut in her eyebrow. The amount of blood that seeped from the cut was enormous compared to its small size.
Lacey walked past Sarah on her way to the den. The crunch of glass under her sister's feet caught Sarah's attention, and she sighed. Thank goodness we had our shoes on. A wave of relief washed over her body and she exhaled another deep sigh. The girls had been getting ready for school when the windows exploded and covered everything with glass.
"Sarah, come here! You've got to see this!" Lacey yelled.
Sarah whirled around and spotted her sister walking from the den—her eyes were round and full of shock.
"I think all the windows have been smashed. Come and look."
Holding the towel against her cut, Sarah followed her into the den. "Holy crap!"
She gazed into the room. Shards of glass covered the furniture and the floor. The sun streamed through the window, shining on the jagged bits embedded in the carpet. It appeared as if tiny diamonds were buried within the fibers.
"What in the world happened?"
Sarah shook her head. "I have no idea."
The shrill ring of the phone made Sarah jump. She dashed back to the kitchen and found the phone where she had dropped it earlier.
"Sarah?"
"Jackie?"
"Yeah, it's me." Jackie's voice eased some of the tension in Sarah's body. Jackie Jenkins was her best friend. They had met when Sarah and her sister moved in with their aunt and uncle three months earlier.
Sarah glanced down at her legs and for the first time saw tiny nicks where she had been hit by flying glass. She bent down and examined the cuts further. They were not deep, and were already clotting.
"All of our windows exploded! Do you know what's going on?" Sarah asked.
"There was an explosion at the high school."
Lisa Orchard grew up loving books. She was hooked on mysteries by the fifth grade and even wrote a few of her own. She knew she wanted to be a writer even then. "The Super Spies and the High School Bomber" is the second book in the "Super Spies" series. Her first book was published in March of 2012 and it has received rave reviews. After graduating from Central Michigan University with a Marketing Degree she spent many years in the insurance industry, pining to express her creative side. The decision to stay home with her children gave her the opportunity to follow her dream and become a writer. She currently resides in Rockford Michigan with her husband, Steve, and two wonderful boys. Currently, she's working on the third novel that stars the same quirky teens. When she's not writing she enjoys spending time with her family, running, hiking, and reading.

This book sounds really interesting! Exploding schools is not a common plotline, and it certainly sounds interesting ;) The writing is really good. I was hooked - I didn't want to the excerpt to end!
Thanks for sharing, Rachel :)

3rd Ave. to Perform Winter Concert Dec. 7
Thursday, December 5, 2019 - 08:09 Updated 2 years ago
Marshall University's contemporary a cappella singing group, 3rd Avenue, will perform its winter concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, in Smith Recital Hall.
"Our show features many of us individually as performers and creators, but will also showcase our strengths as an ensemble," said 3rd Avenue member Cassidy Craddock, a junior psychology major. "We have been able to add a lot of literature to our set this semester, which allows us to give a concert full of variety. Most importantly, we really enjoy singing together. I think the love and respect we have for each other becomes very evident every time we perform."
She said the group will sing a lot of fun contemporary tunes and "a few very serious pieces of music that are symbolically heavy. There is definitely something for everyone, although a goal we have is to perform each song in a way everyone can feel and enjoy," Craddock said.
The singers will perform under the direction of Marshall faculty member Dr. Briana Nannen.
"We have a wide variety of music this semester and are looking forward to premiering our signature tune, '3rd Avenue,' written by group members Kristin Johnson and Jason Morgan," Nannen said.

Car Pal founder Lindsay Graham began her consumer advocacy career in 1997 when she was hired as a sales consultant for a local Saturn dealer in Chapel Hill, NC. After flying up the ranks to #1 for sales in the nation her first year, she was asked to speak publicly about her talents at a regional Saturn meeting for management. Lindsay's great secret became known quickly, and she soon received the nickname "LG" (for Low Gross) from her management team. She was more concerned about her customers receiving the absolute best service combined with her coaching on how to save money on their vehicle purchases than she was about the dealership's bottom line. Nevertheless, the dealership retained Lindsay because of her sales rankings, along with an abundant repeat and referral business.
Lindsay spent the next twelve years selling all makes and models of automobiles. From 2008 – 2010, she made her sales from home as an internet manager for Toyota, assisted by two exceptional on-site sales associates. With the changing economy and dealers needing to tighten their belts, Lindsay found a conflict of interest. It was no longer possible for her to maintain the profit margins acceptable to management while achieving the level of savings she knew was possible for her clients. Lindsay also wanted to use her "how to buy a vehicle and make use all of the available shortcuts" acumen all over the country, rather than at one single retail facility. LG decided it was time to assist car buyers independently, and so she founded Car Pal.
Your best deal on a vehicle begins before you ever contact a dealership!
Whether you're a happy Car Pal client or a first-time visitor enjoying what you're reading on our site, you understand why working with experienced industry professionals is the best decision when it comes to negotiating the deal for your next vehicle.
Like most other car buyers, you've most likely found that negotiating a truly favorable deal on a new or used vehicle is almost never easy, even when you're working with a reputable dealer. There are details upon details to remember, along with plenty of opportunities for the dealer to upsell you on pricey options and services. The most highly-rated car dealers are still focused on profit, which makes it extremely difficult for even the most knowledgeable buyers to manage their own negotiation process.
This is why Car Pal exists. With our inside industry knowledge, we've helped hundreds of well-informed clients like you save time, energy, and money since 2011. We understand your needs, and we work with you from the time you decide which vehicle you want until you've signed and sealed your deal, and your vehicle has been delivered to you. Whether you choose to lease or purchase; and whether you seek a new or used vehicle, we've got you covered. Our flat-fee pricing means that we'll work as long as it takes to complete your deal, period.
Many of our clients have used our services more than once, and have helped us generate new business through word of mouth. Typically, our clients have limited spare time and excellent credit, and strive to spend money wisely. Most are professionals in their fields. Of course we gladly work with any willing client! Interestingly, we've found that physicians, surgeons, and other high-level health care practitioners have most frequently benefited from our expertise.
If you're already a happy Car Pal client, thank you! If you've just discovered our site and are seeking your next vehicle, we'd love to help you have an exceptional experience in making your best possible deal.


It was day two of our three-day Global Property Summit last week, and one of the attendees was smiling from ear to ear as he told me how overwhelmed he felt. By that evening he had only seen 15 of the 23 investment opportunities available to conference goers, but he was already buzzing with excitement.
If you weren't in Panama City with us last week, you missed the chance to meet some of the most diverse and interesting experts and developers discussing impressive property investments from around the world.
But, as a savvy Overseas Property Alert reader, you haven't missed out because I'm going to share some of the details with you here, including a special, limited-time deal to own the entire collection of conference presentations, allowing you to go over all the Summit offers at your own pace.
This special opportunity also grants you access to a few of the "conference exclusive" offerings.
This was my first Global Property Summit, and I entered the room with high expectations. I took copious notes and still couldn't catch all the details. However, because I was there with the speakers, I could approach them to clarify facts and dig deeper.
This year's Summit covered the whole gamut of overseas property investment possibilities from residential and agriculture to corporate investments and hard-money loans.
We needed three, jam-packed days to discover 2018's best property opportunities, including details about existing homes, pre-construction, vacant land, and more.
Starting with beach property and impressive return on income, consider Brazilian townhouses starting at US$99,000, which are expected to net 19% rental yields. Beachfront lots are also available for capital appreciation in this South American country.
In an up-and-coming, path-of-progress Mexican location, we have the inside scoop on pre-construction homes starting under US$100,000.
If city life is more your speed, consider pre-construction Panamanian apartments with special pricing for early birds and developer financing available.
The Dominican Republic is offering condos eligible for short-term rentals with bank financing if you purchase while it's still pre-construction.
A five-star coastal community may be calling your name and offering turnkey construction for interested buyers on the Pacific coast of Panama.
With a low capital contribution, pre-construction condos in Istanbul, Turkey, may be the perfect investment opportunity for your diversification plan.
How about a ready-made housing market, with a waiting list of more than 200 pre-qualified buyers? You can invest US$90,000 for two years and enjoy a 23% return.
Sunny Belize offers beachfront homes to use whenever you want and rent out the rest of the time. Learn how you can use lender's money to invest in an exciting new hotel.
If Europe is more your style, Portugal is creating its first independent living beachfront property in the Algarve region. With the growing need for senior-friendly housing, this project is on the cutting edge.
If you are considering rental real estate, fixed-return options, or even co-investing with a developer in Colombia, we can connect you with the right company to discuss your choices in Bogotá and Cartagena.
If short-term rentals are your goal, look no further than the growing tourism markets of Colombia and Puerto Rico. These turnkey deals may be exactly what you envision.
Many of us are concerned about the environment, our personal carbon footprint, or we want to be self-sufficient. There's an off-grid community of tiny houses starting at just US$76,000 you have to see for yourself.
With the relatively weak British pound we found rental options in the U.K., with guaranteed returns of 8% to 12%.
If you've always wanted to be a part of a resort setting, but only have US$30,000 to spend, we found another turnkey, hard-money-lending offer in Nicaragua.
Argentina is the place to turn your focus for a rebounding economy and a government that favors growth and business endeavors. From office spaces to residential condos and even agricultural possibilities (vineyard anyone?) this market is on a three-year upswing.
With the primary goal of improving the environment, giving back to the planet, and providing a cleaner energy source, this timber project in Colombia deserves your attention. Now in its third phase, this program features a 15% annualized return over its seven-year plan. Another bonus is the residency component included in this investment.
A hardwood offering specializing in luxurious teak production is located in two countries. The Panama parcel offers a 6-year turnaround on your investment, while Nicaragua projects a 23-year term. With a low minimum investment of US$16,700, this productive land program also offers a residency option.
For an even shorter return on your investment, this fruit orchard opportunity allows you to choose among different fruit options with different investment cycles. More than half of the attendees at this year's Global Property Summit have already invested in this thriving company, which continues to bring new technology and opportunities to the table.
Across the sea, this aquaponics project provides both lettuce and fish to the growing market. With a low capital investment, you can realize cash flow from your own personal aquaponics system within the first year. This is a truly unique, turnkey agriculture production system worth your attention.
Gourmet food culture is exploding and along with it, the need for truffles. With an investment in this French truffle plantation, you can enjoy returns as high as 24% internal rate of return.
Global Property Summit attendees were also treated to an opportunity for full investment diversification by investing in a multinational company with holdings in four different countries and plans to expand to even more.
I'm not sharing all of the juicy tidbits, of course, but I hope I've intrigued you and made you seriously consider how international property investments can fit into your portfolio and lifestyle.
Because there was just too much information to absorb before the next investment was revealed, Global Property Summit attendees each receive a summary of the various opportunities presented at the event.

Finding Ada: How Children Learn Human Values through Programming Book Review
Finding Ada, an organization that celebrates Ada Lovelace Day (ALD), is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). They aim to increase the profile of women in STEM and create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM.
We are honored that they explored our co-founder and chief scientist, Dr. Marina Bers' new book, Beyond Coding: How Children Learn Human Values through Programming. Their review includes:
"Today, schools are introducing STEM education and robotics to children in ever-lower grades. In Beyond Coding, Marina Umaschi Bers lays out a pedagogical roadmap for teaching code that encompasses the cultivation of character along with technical knowledge and skills. Presenting code as a universal language, she shows how children discover new ways of thinking, relating, and behaving through creative coding activities. Today's children will undoubtedly have the technical knowledge to change the world. But cultivating strength of character, socioeconomic maturity, and a moral compass alongside that knowledge, says Bers, is crucial.
Bers, a leading proponent of teaching computational thinking and coding as early as preschool and kindergarten, presents examples of children and teachers using the ScratchJr. and KIBO robotics platforms to make explicit some of the positive values implicit in the process of learning computer science. If we are to do right by our children, our approach to coding must incorporate the elements of a moral education: the use of narrative to explore identity and values, the development of logical thinking to think critically and solve technical and ethical problems, and experiences in the community to enable personal relationships. Through learning the language of programming, says Bers, it is possible for diverse cultural and religious groups to find points of connection, put assumptions and stereotypes behind them, and work together toward a common goal."

By Roman Makena In Dance
Gärtnerplatztheater Marco Goecke
Zampanò, a coarse showman, is touring the entire country with his penniless assistant, Gelsomina. The dependent young woman, who always appears at Zampanò's side as a clown, is badly treated by him and kept as a slave. But when Gelsomina meets the sensitive tightrope artist Matto one day, she learns for the first time in her life what real human affection is. When the two of them finally begin to draw closer together, there is a momentous argument between Zampanò, Gelsomina and Matto.
It was this tension-filled triangular relationship that formed the dramatic core of Federico Fellini's Oscar-winning film classic "La Strada" from the year 1954. From 1952 to 1979, the celebrated Italian director worked closely with the composer Nino Rota. In 1966, Rota adapted his film music into a ballet suite for orchestra. This version, which is being presented by the Gärtnerplatztheater for the first time in Germany, forms the basis for choreographer Marco Goecke's thrilling full-length ballet.
Based on the film by Federico Fellini
Text by Federico Fellini and Tullio Pinelli
Music by Nino Rota

IMPDC and VPAA recalibrate CPSU Faculty through Webinar on Making Module
In coping with the challenges that COVID-19 pandemic has posed to the education sector of the country, CPSU conducted a webinar on writing module, which was facilitated by the Instructional Media Production and Development Center (IMPDC) director, Dr. Josephine Asuncion Emoy, in collaboration with the Vice-President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Fernando D. Abello, last July 16, 2020 through Zoom App. This activity aimed to equip its faculty members in the preparation of their modules for flexible learning mode.
Attended by instructors of the University throughout its ten campuses, the said webinar particularly focused on capacitating participants in terms of the institutional format in preparing their modules, including the essential parts to be included and the content presentation. After which, the process in evaluating the faculty-prepared modules was explained by looking into the guidelines and criteria in validating their content. The Instructional Media Evaluation Committee or IMEC who are entrusted to do the rigorous task of evaluating the said learning resources were also given emphasis.
The lecturer and speaker of the said event was Dr. Josephine Asuncion R. Emoy, Director of the Instructional Media Production and Development Center (IMPDC) of the University who discussed topics on The Method of Writing Modules and The Process of Evaluating Faculty-Designed Modules. This endeavor was part of the IMPDC office's goals of (a) formulating policies and guidelines in the development and production of Instructional Materials (IMs), and (b) infusing instructors with necessary knowledge, skills and competence in preparing their IMs, by (c) conducting system-wide/in-house seminars, workshops and trainings to assist and further equip them in the preparation of pedagogically-sound and inquiry-based instructional materials.
"This webinar is a necessary step as we assist our faculty members in preparing for the new normal. Since CHED has advised SUCs to avoid face-to-face learning for the safety of both the students and their instructors, the modular learning approach as a distance /flexible learning mode will be mostly utilized by the University," Dr. Abello explained during his welcome remarks.
An open forum was set at the end of the activity for participants to express their other concerns, queries, clarifications and suggestions related to the topic.


In the week before Christmas, the recently reopened village hall at Linton hosted a Victorian Christmas evening organised by the Linton History Group as its last meeting before Christmas. The village hall was originally opened in 1871 and so, to mark the reopening, the History Group celebrated Christmas as it would have been celebrated in the village in 1871, making it truly an evening to remember.
Gone were the Father Christmases, tinsel, plastic decorations and glass baubles, which were replaced by holly, ivy, rosemary and myrtle. The tree was simply decorated with hand-made wooden decorations, sugar candy sticks and home-made angels. As electric light was only invented in 1878, candles were the main source of lighting throughout the hall – although, not wanting to risk burning down the recently refurbished building, a decision was made to use LED candles instead.
The entrance ticket was exchanged for old pennies at the 'Bank of Linton' and these were used throughout the evening, prices being commensurate with what they would have been in 1871.
A Curiosity Table featured a selection of local Victorian items with information about the people in the village (taken from the 1871 census) who may have used them. These included such items as housemaid's equipment, tools and a giant carthorse shoe with the names of the three local blacksmiths, one of whom ended his days in the Easingwold Union workhouse. In addition, there were two Christening gowns displayed next to a list of the names of children from the village who would have been under 2 years old in 1871 and information about the teachers and governesses living in the village.
Picture postcards were first used as souvenirs around 1870, so some old picture postcards of Linton were available for people to buy and take away as a memento of the evening.
As 1871 was the first year of the official Bank Holiday, more opportunities became available for families to spend time together. Later in the decade, board games and Music Hall, operettas and more mass-produced toys became available. With this in mind, a variety of card and board games dating from the period were played during the evening, before a selection of poetry and readings from the time, and the singing of carols. Refreshments were available in the form of roasted chestnuts, mulled wine, fruit punch, mince pies and Victorian gingerbread biscuits. There was also a selection of Victorian sweets and walnuts on each table. A raffle was held with suitably Victorian prizes such as a pineapple, coal tar soap, bananas and Harrogate toffee – formulated to take away the taste of the Spa water. Tickets had been 1/2d each and sold by a 'soldier home for Christmas'.
During the evening, a presentation was made to the village hall committee by the History Group of a copy of the original bill for the village hall and a framed copy of the earliest photograph of the inside of the hall as yet available.
Many of those attending (from ages 1 to 80+) entered into the spirit of the evening and dressed accordingly.
Linton History Group would like to thank all those who attended, helped and worked to make the evening so memorable. The History group has a varied programme of events listed on the Linton on Ouse village website. Their next event 7.15pm 17th January in Linton on Ouse village Hall is about the 'Village and the RAF base during WW2'.
The recently reopened Village Hall – the History Group would like to thank all those who worked so hard to make this happen. A real piece of History – in the middle of the Village!

The Role Of Altitude, Azimuth And Zenith Distance In Astro Navigation.
Point Z represents the zenith of the observer's position.
Point X represents the position of the celestial body and this point, if projected onto the Earth's surface, would correspond to the Geographical position of the body.
P and P1 are the north and south poles respectively.
The Zenith Distance. The zenith distance is the angular distance ZX that is subtended by the angle XOZ and is measured along the vertical circle that passes through the celestial body.
Relationship Between Zenith Distance And The Nautical Mile. An angle of 1 minute at the earth's centre will subtend an arc of length 1 n.m on the earth's surface. Therefore if the angle XOZ is 30o (the arc ZX) will be equal to 30 x 60 = 1800 arc minutes at the earth's surface and so the zenith distance will be equal to 1800 nautical miles.
The Altitude. Altitude is the angle AOX, that is the angle from the celestial horizon to the celestial body and is measured along the same vertical circle as the zenith distance.
Azimuth. The angle PZX is the azimuth of the celestial body and is the angular distance between the observer's celestial meridian and the direction of the position of the body.
The Role Of Altitude, Azimuth And Zenith Distance In Astro Navigation. It can be seen that by measuring the altitude of a celestial body, we are able to easily calculate the zenith distance which will give us the distance in nautical miles from the observer's position to the geographical position of the body. The azimuth will give us the direction of the GP from the observer's position. This explains why measuring the altitude and azimuth are the first steps in determining our position in astro navigation.
(A thorough treatment of this topic can be found in the book Astro Navigation Demystified).


The best starting hand in seven card stud is, of course, three-of-a-kind, also known as rolled up trips. You won't get this hand very often. It will occur on average only once in every 425 times that you are dealt in. following is some advice on how to play these extremely good starting hands.
First, even though you have a very strong hand to begin with, it is not necessarily a "slowplaying" hand. To always slowplay strong hands, no matter what the situation, is a mistake in almost all forms of poker, including seven card stud. Slowplaying rolled up trips is usually correct only in tight games. If there are loose, aggressive players behind you (and this type of opponent is fairly common at seven card stud), they often will play and sometimes give a lot of action, even if you raise. In this situation, playing three-of-a-kind show is definitely a mistake.
In reality, it usually doesn't matter very much how you play these hands if you are the first one in. If you have rolled up trips and several people have called, you definitely want to raise. However, if you are the first one in and hold three-of-a-kind, whether small or large, either calling or raising may be okay. The type of game, either loose or tight, or aggressive or passive, should be deciding factor.
Some players will never raise with three-of-a-kind if they are up front. As just pointed out, this is not correct. One reason to raise in early position with this is not correct. One reason to raise in early position with this hand is that getting more money in the pot can "tie-on" other players. And no matter what your position, you should be more inclined to raise with rolled up trips if your trips are small. Remember, even though small rolled up trips are very strong, they often are beaten.
You usually should play small rolled up trips fast. Be sure to reraise if already raised, and frequently raise if there are many big cards behind you. Both of these raises will encourage a big pot. If it does turn out that you are looking at a big pair, your opponent will be anxious to get in an extra bet. Also, someone may reraise your small upcard with a big three-flushes.
One reason to reraise a probable big pair with a rolled up hand is to make him think you have a bigger pair in the hole. The player holding the big pair almost always will play, and if he makes a hidden two pair, you will often get three bets out of him on either fifth or sixth street. If he pairs his board (not his door card), you usually will get two bets that round. The exception, of course, is if the original raiser shows an ace. Since you cannot have a higher pair in the hole, you may want to wait to raise so as not to arouse suspicion.
One thing you should consider when deciding whether to raise or reraise with three-of-a-kind is whether the raise may give your hand away. If it might, then be more inclined to call. An example of this would be if a queen raised and then an ace reraised. If you come over the top, you essentially are announcing your hand. By just calling, your opponents may think your most likely hand is a three-flush or a big pair in the hole, perhaps a pair of kings.
But there is an exception. If the table already has seen you make it three bets with something like a three-flush, then your opponents will not be as likely to think you are rolled up. If this is the case, a raise may still be the best play, especially since the pot has already gotten large enough that you might just as soon knock some players out.
If you did not raise coming in with rolled up trips, you usually should wait until fifth or even sixth street to start playing fast. However, keep in mind how the boards develop, and how timid your opposition is. Some timid opponents easily get scared out of betting on sixth poker street. This is especially true if you show something like a three-flush or perhaps even catch an ace. Against this type of player, waiting until sixth to raise can be a mistake.


Becoming responsible for one's own sense of happiness because accepting life on life's terms means no one's going to do it for you, and that what other people think of you is NONE of your business. Being a reflective learner means that one thinks critically about what they learn. Funding residence improvement operate from financial savings or investments is far outstanding to funding it by means of financial debt. A "Gratitude Journal" is another awesome way to keep track of the things you are grateful for in your life. Valentine's day is so filled with pseudo-romantic fluff that its true meaning easily gets lost: Gratitude and appreciation for that special someone in your life. Quotes and writings about gratitude have been plentiful for centuries. People who have health conditions, are pregnant, nursing, or have allergies, should consult a physician before beginning any health program. This is the same reason for which different organizations and companies work on distinct types of posters to convey some particular sayings and messages to people.
