Have you struggled with fad diets or restrictive eating habits, allergies or intolerances, or just a desire to feel balanced? Lee Holmes of Supercharged Foods and the Heal Your Gut movement believes healthy gut flora is key to your personal wellbeing and overall health.
Her food philosophy is based around whole foods, moderation, and delicious recipes, which means you don't need to miss out on dessert. This refreshing and healthy Supercharged recipe is a wonderful way to treat yourself in spring as well as establishing and maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
Put half the almond milk and the gelatine in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk briskly until the gelatine is dissolved.
Remove from the heat and add the remaining almond milk along with the HYG powder, vanilla and stevia, and whisk to combine.


If you are switching jobs: "I'm leaving the company" is really a phrase that will require lots of courage. When pronounced at the wrong time or in the wrong manner, it can employ a negative impact on your career. You can find a working job give with another corporation where the pay out is higher, but you remain not sure if that work place will be better then the current one. After all, it is not all about the amount of money. Imagine if you later on change your brain? After all, this is not a straightforward decision. Of course your boss can forgive you and hire you back, but it isn't guaranteed.

Posted by Mineral County Independent News | Nov 22, 2018 | Obituaries | 0 |
LaMar W. LeFevre, born March 8, 1926 to Leslie and Flora (Johnson) LeFevre died Nov. 7, 2018, peacefully in his sleep.
LaMar was born in Tropic, Utah. As a young boy he spent his summers out at Deer Range, the family ranch, tending sheep and later cattle. He met his future wife at a school dance in Henryville. Ethel Clarke and LaMar were married on Dec. 6, 1944, while stationed at Vallejo, Calif. They solemnized their marriage in the LDS Logan Temple. They, with their first son, Lynn, attended school at Utah State University. After getting his degree, they moved to Heneryville to take a teaching position and principal position. While in Heneryville, second son Leslie Vee was born. In 1953 the family moved to Hawthorne, he again take a principal's position with the Mineral County School District, kindergarten through 8th. Their daughter Susan and son Clark were born.

In Oct. 1967 the family relocated to Las Vegas, where LaMar was the state superintendent, in charge of all schools in Southern Nevada. In 1985 LaMar and Ethel moved back to Tropic, Utah and turned their first home into a bed and breakfast, known for their unique pancakes. LaMar and Ethel greeted guests from all over the world. They closed the B&B around 2013 and moved back to Las Vegas, due to health problems. In 2018 they moved into an assisted living facility, in St. George, Utah, until their passing.
Ethel passed in July. LaMar also was preceded in death by his parents: Leslie and Flora; brothers: Ellis, John Lyle, and Russel and sister Leslie Von. He is survived by brothers: Dale, and Reed; sister: Velma and children: Lynn (Karen), Leslie (Dela), Susan (Jon Moody) and Clark (Stacy).
My dad loved to tell stories some true. But in parting any conversation he would always part saying "Happy Trails". Happy Trails, LaMar.

Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Goodbye to Language is a triumphant masterpiece from Jean-Luc Godard. The film follows a couple whose relationship breaks down along with the images, which in its second half takes a dog's-eye view of the world. It is a meditation on history and illusion that displays effects more spectacular than any Hollywood blockbuster, figures merging and weaving across the screen along with the film's ideas about romantic love and being-in-the-world.
It has the feeling of a final statement, but knowing Godard's penchant for re-invention, hopefully it is yet another beginning to an extraordinary career.

Immunotherapy for warts
Wart treatment options have grown to include immunotherapy, in addition to destructive modalities. But there is no magic bullet, and more research is needed to find better, more effective treatments.
Little Rock, Ark. - Gold standard destructive methods for treating warts are giving way to modern approaches that focus on recruiting the body's immune system to fight the lesions.
"Destructive treatments address the wart from the outside in," says Sandy Johnson, M.D., F.A.A.D., assistant clinical professor, department of dermatology, University of Arkansas, Little Rock, Ark.
"With immunotherapy," she tells Dermatology Times, "the body recognizes the virus as abnormal, so the body can then fight off ... the virus, regardless of where it is."
Dr. Johnson, coauthor of "Warts Diagnosis and Management: An Evidence-based Approach" (Martin Dunitz 2003), says she recommends that patients who want to treat their warts at home suffocate the virus with either clear nail polish or duct tape. This is as an option to, or in addition to, using salicylic acid.
The Fort Smith, Ark., dermatologist says liquid nitrogen treatments, like salicylic acid, destroy the skin that contains the virus.
Enter immunotherapy
The problem with destructive therapies, according to Dr. Johnson, is that even though dermatologists can destroy the skin surrounding the wart, the reality is that the virus continues to grow and spread until the person's immune system recognizes it as abnormal.
"That is why after freezing some warts, patients will get a scar in the middle and a doughnut shaped wart around the treated area. That occurs because the virus is still pretty active on the skin," she says. "But if the body is able to recognize the virus as abnormal, the body would be able to get rid of the virus without - potentially - any scarring."
Warts not immune to immunotherapy
Dr. Johnson has a patented immunotherapy treatment for warts: candida skin test antigen.
She injects 0.03 ml directly into one wart on the body. She says that, while dermatologists have to treat all the warts on a patient's body with liquid nitrogen to rid the patient of warts, she needs to only treat one wart with immunotherapy.
The injection results in the body's fighting the warts from the inside out. Not only do most of the warts then disappear, but they tend to recur less with the candida skin test antigen than with traditional destructive therapies, she says.
Dr. Johnson has shown in studies that immunotherapy's success rate is even higher on difficult-to-treat warts. And, overall, immunotherapy eliminates the risk of scarring.
Among her findings in studies reported in the literature:
In patients who were treated with immunotherapy in one wart, 78 percent of those patients also cleared their distant warts. Seventy-four percent treated with immunotherapy cleared their warts as opposed to 55 percent with liquid nitrogen (Arch Dermatol. 2001;137:451-455).
Phillips RC et al reported in 2000 in the Archives of Dermatology that 86 percent of people were satisfied with immunotherapy treatment results and would repeat it for their warts.
"We have not had side effects from using immunotherapy," Dr. Johnson says. "With liquid nitrogen, we expect it to form a blister, which is an expected effect."
Combined approach
Dr. Johnson, who says coding for wart treatments has changed from 17000, 17003 and 17004 in 2006 to 17110 and 17111 in 2007, combines destructive and immunotherapy treatments for many patients with warts.
Reimbursement for treating warts has diminished, she says, and she does not typically get reimbursed for the immunotherapy procedure, so she bills for the destructive therapy and often does the immunotherapy for free.

Normal alcohol consumption does not have a significant effect on the effectivity of most common medicinal products. However, simultaneous use of medicinal products and alcohol should be avoided if possible. Mainly, the potential combined effects are mild. However, in some cases, these combined effects can be either highly unpleasant, detrimental or even deadly. Possible detrimental effects can occur especially if the treatment of the underlying illness is not balanced well. Combined use of alcohol and medicine with the aim of achieving intoxication is called mixed use and it can be either intentional or unintentional.
Even if there is no direct combined effect, alcohol consumption may increase the risk of detrimental effect and slow down the improvement of the patient's overall health condition. Absorption of the medical substance may also be hindered. Continuous consumption of alcohol, or its consumption in large doses, is not suitable with any medication. In such cases, the medication's effect may be rendered useless, toxic metabolites may be produced in quantities that are harmful to the body, the liver may become overloaded or the effect of the medicinal substances may become surprisingly strong. The effect of alcohol may also become excessive.
Combined effects of alcohol and medicines are more probable in women and the elderly. Some medicinal substances may also include alcohol, which should especially be taken into account if one is using the medicinal products defined in Table 1. It should be noted that medicine can still remain in the body even if there are no more noticeable effects. One-time dose of alcohol may increase the effectiveness of the medicinal substance, whereas continuous use may decrease it (or vice versa). Therefore, it can be difficult to estimate the potential combined effects and their severity.
Table 1. Medicines that cannot be used with alcohol.
* After the use of disulfiram, alcohol consumption should be avoided up to two weeks.
** After the use of metronidazole, alcohol consumption should be avoided for at least 48 hours.
*** After the use of tinidazole, alcohol consumption should be avoided for at least 72 hours.
All central nervous system depressants, especially sleeping medication, may cause even deadly hazards if taken with alcohol. Alcohol should also not be used with muscle relaxants or sedatives. With antibiotics, moderate alcohol consumption is usually fine, but there are exceptions to this, such as metronidazole (e.g. Trikozol, Flagyl) and tinidazole (Fasigyn) (Table 1). Alcohol can be used with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. However, if used frequently, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug may cause detrimental effects to the stomach, which alcohol may make worse. Paracetamol (e.g. Panadol), which is often used as pain medication, should not be used with alcohol, as the risk of fatal liver damage increases significantly. Alcohol must not be used with strong opioids used for treating pain. Alcohol has combined effects with certain mood and psychiatric medication, but, generally, moderate alcohol consumption is allowed. On the other hand, alcohol can, in part, have a detrimental effect on mood, thus weakening the effect of the medication. If one of the medication's detrimental effects is tiredness or drowsiness – even if it is not a so-called central nervous system depressant – alcohol should not be used at the same time. Such compounds include, for example, certain antihistamines used to treat allergies.
Table 2. Medicines that should not be used with alcohol (cause a special risk).
Table 3. Medication that may have combined effects with alcohol.
In conclusion, alcohol must not be consumed at all together with certain medication. However, there are only a few medications such as this (Table 1). However, there are many medications with which drinking is not recommended due to the possible detrimental effects (Table 2). In some cases, these detrimental effects can even be lethal – you should be particularly careful with medication impacting the central nervous system and with paracetamol. The risk is higher the more medications are in use. There can be significant differences between medicines belonging to a certain medicinal substance group with regard to their suitability to be used together with alcohol.
This article is only referential as detailed list of the combined effects of alcohol and different medications is impossible to compile. You can find out more about the potential combined effects of your medication and alcohol from, for example, your doctor, the pharmacy, the medication's packaging description or the online service laakeinfo.fi. The abovementioned sources can also tell you how risky the combined use is to you specifically.

Nature operates on the principles of zero waste. Trees make flowers and fruit for germinate and grow. Excess of flowers and fruits are consumed by other species. They fall on ground, decompose, feed various organisms and microorganisms and enrich the soil. all other species, except plant, exhale carbon dioxide, which plants takes in and use for their own growth and releases oxygen for our survival. Nitrogen from the waste is transformed into protein by microorganisms, animals and plants. The Earth's major nutrients - carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen - are cycled and recycled. This cyclic flow of materials, from cradle - to - cradle, has nourished our planet for millions of years. This material flow can be termed as Biological cycle. Then came industries, which altered the natural equilibrium of materials on the planet. we took substance from the Earth's crust and concentrated, altered and synthesized them into vast quantities of materials that cannot safely be returned to soil and its original biological cycle. This material flow is termed as Industrial cycle.
The rapidly growing world energy use has already raised concerns over supply difficulties, exhaustion of energy resources and heavy environmental impacts (ozone layer depletion, global warming, climate change, etc.). The global contribution from buildings towards energy consumption , both residential and commercial, has steadily increased reaching figures between 20% to 40% in developed countries, and has exceeded the other major sectors: industrial and transportation.
The Green concept is to consume appropriate energies and resources of any forms that effect the environment and its various components, and to make use of resources efficiently and sufficiently for present and future growth of an entire system.
Appropriate – Quantity can be minimum or maximum in present state, in order to conserve for the future.
Effect – it can be defined as useful or harmful in different condition and situation.
Environment and its components – it is necessary to consider every form of element, whether living or non-living.
Efficiently and sufficiently – whether to get maximum output at one go and continue giving more input for efficiency or understand the minimum requirement for the present needs and reserve for future and remain sufficient.


First, I must praise Chris Drumm and his chapbooks for helping to keep Lafferty's work in print in the '80s and '90s. I recently found online, at cover price even, both Slippery and Other Stories and The Man Who Made Models and Other Stories.
Reading "The Effigy Histories" in The Man Who Made Models and Other Stories the other day, I was struck first by the idea that Lafferty was poking a bit of good-natured fun at himself.
"They are not conventional histories at all. They are art-forms, or they are life-forms, that resemble histories somewhat in their shapes and movements and effects. But they are not accurate in any of their particulars."
"Was it true that Karl Effigy talked nonsense when he elucidated and clarified his dazzling and pleasant Histories? Yes, in the manner of having words correspond to things and ideas, he did talk nonsense. But, in a larger way, his talking and writing were composed of the rarest sensibilities, even if not of precise sense. His expressions had the inner coherence of great paintings, of grand and framed natural scenes, or of resounding and sustained pieces of music. And his discourse was all a series of great pieces of music. Only the instruments were invented to protect the guilty. His flowing Histories themselves were nonsense, to the limited view; but to the Big View, they were galas in which sense was only one of the many condiments to be sniffed and enjoyed."
Is he here reacting to the people who said his own writing didn't make sense, and to the others among the audience who praised his style over the substance of his stories? I once read an online review (which I can no longer find) of Lafferty's The Fall of Rome which claimed that the book read like a fun novel, but it was criminal to call it history. I disagree with that review, but could this have been Lafferty's reaction to such reviews?
"Yes, in the manner of having words correspond to things and ideas, he did talk nonsense."
Yup, sums it up succinctly.

Genovesa -continued: Birds Everywhere
Dawny G
There are birds everywhere.� Each one has adapted to its environment.� The Galapagos dove (below) has a sharp beak that makes it easy to pick seeds from the ground.� The dove tends to stay on the ground, where it finds nourishment.� I don't remember seeing any in flight.
�And now...my first booby!� Totally unimpressed by us humans,� this Nazca booby is stretching his wings (note that wing span) as he gets ready for take off.
Nazca boobies are the largest of the boobies on the Galapagos.� They were once called 'masked boobies' because of the dark color mask around their eyes.� There are masked boobies, but the 'real' Nazca booby has a orangy-reddish beak.� They nest on the ground and breed annually producing two eggs that hatch a few days apart.�
I learned about bird 'siblicide' on this trip.� Many boobies have two hatchlings, but� only one of the chicks survives--and it's not an accident.� The stronger chick eventually throws the smaller, weaker sibling out of the nest.�
Why did this behavior evolve?� Maybe laying two eggs assures that if a predator gets to the first egg, there will still be offspring.� But if both hatchlings survive, the older booby gets rid of the younger and the parents do not interfere.
Neither do we.� Going a little out of sequence.... later in the trip, on Espanola Island, we see two blue-footed booby chicks with their mother.� The well-fed, larger chick is safely nestled under mom. � Ousted from shelter and slowly starving is the small chick in the foreground.
The short hard life of the second booby chickAll of us wish we could do something.� But Roberto reminds us that we do not interfere with the natural way of life on the islands.� So I have this photo and a sad and painful memory that nature is sometimes cruel.��
Back to Genovesa.� Families of birds everywhere I turn, and they are not in the least bit interested--or intimidated --by me.
I introduce myself to an unintimidated booby...
....and its friendFeeding time��
Redfooted booby and chick�������������
There is much more to see here and we'll return the next Galapagos post.� But next, a brief diversion to Porchfests.�
Porchfests.... for the tourist at� home.

It's actually something you can do... and we did. My folks just gifted James and me with a brand new chiminea and I couldn't think of any better way to christen it than with roasting chestnuts.
I'll share with you the cheat way to roast chestnuts, just because I know it's more convenient and some of you will opt for that... but for those of you willing to brave the cold and get in touch with your inner Christmas caroler, get ready to sing The Christmas Song at the top of your lungs and feel 100% fulfilled. You will now KNOW the meaning and the greatness of that tune.
If you'd like, you can just roast the chestnuts, peel them open and serve them all on their own. Apparently people like to do that... however I tasted the meat of the chestnut more than once and it's not my favorite. The flavor is really beautiful and nutty but the meat itself is a little... mealy. Like a bad apple, as Kobes described it. Hence, turning them into cookies. But decide for yourself.
Step 1: VERY CAREFULLY, with a sharp knife, cut an "x" into the flat surface side of the chestnuts. Some of them may not have very flat backs, so just choose a side and be cautious. The cut does not have to be deep, but don't just scrape the surface either.
Step 4: Finely chop your chestnuts and toss with brown sugar, lots of cinnamon and a sprinkle of sea salt. For measurements sake, I roasted 15 chestnuts and used roughly 2 heaping dessert spoons of brown sugar.
Step 5: Heat a little salted butter in a skillet or pan and on a medium-low heat, pan toss those chestnuts until they're nicely coated in a sugary pool of goodness. Let them simmer for about 10, 15 minutes. Remove them to cool onto parchment paper.
Step 6: In a food processor or Vitamix, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, 6 Tablespoons salted butter, the candied chestnuts, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg & 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pulse until a fine crumbly mixture forms.
Step 7: Squeeze that crumbly mixture into balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet. You should have somewhere between 15 and 18 cookies.
Step 8: Bake for 15-18 minutes. Get out a bowl and fill it with enough powdered sugar to play with.
Step 9: Remove cookies from the oven, let cool for about 3 minutes, then dump and roll each one into the powdered sugar until well coated. You're done!
Serve these treats at your next holiday party and prepare to have the compliments of creativity and flavor brilliance coming your way!
Friends- I am SO sorry.
Ever since we returned from our month long trip to Australia and our Thanksgiving holiday in Charlotte, my blog is having some serious storage space issues.
I'm currently working on these issues and trying to find the best, long-term solution so please please please, be patient... but don't wait too long to come back around!
The next post is about ROASTING CHESTNUTS! Just in time for the holidays! :) I've made a really great roasted chestnut cookie recipe that I cannot wait to share with you so, pray for favor as I fix this silly issue!
LOTS of love and cannot wait to catch up.

Oxford Talks
The Discourse of Legal Witnessing and Collective Memory: lessons from the archives of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
International tribunals are often perceived by the transitional justice legal scholarship as an opportunity for individuals to ensure their memories are entered into an historical record. The 'legacy debate' surrounding the contribution that tribunal archives should have to transitional periods are commonly understood as providing a historical legal record of the 'facts' of the atrocities committed. However, such historical records of the legal 'facts' often orientate around a linear constructed narrative of mass human rights violations which can condense the complexities of past violations into an overly simplified account of the past and present. This presentation provides a novel conceptual enquiry into witnessing and collective memory by challenging the perception that transitional justice archives are passive repositories of history. Instead, suggesting the ICTR archives as a useful site to explore the discursive conditions of witnessing. In doing so, the presentation summarises the thesis' original conceptual framework which engages with Giorgio Agamben's concept of 'Witness' and Paul Ricoeur's concept of 'Memory'. The discussion then details the thesis' approach to method engaging with Michel Foucault's thought on 'Discourse' and 'Subjectivity' and outlines the data to be analysed. The presentation explores the potential for understanding legal archives as discursive spaces in which the subject of the witness is constructed, and legitimate meaning and knowledge of past human rights violations are constituted. In doing so, the paper foregrounds the need to understand international legal institutions as important sites of memory construction. The latter part of the presentation discusses some of the challenges of conducting archival research of an international criminal tribunal.

We are excited to announce we just launched the sharding system for the Screeps world! The second plane called shard1 already works with faster tick rate and waits for its first settlers! If you wanted to start playing but disliked long 5-second ticks, now is the time!
TL;DR World shards are isolated from each other and run your code separately. Your creeps can travel between them using special portals. The original world becomes shard0. Portals will be closed during 60 days grace period, but you are free to (re)spawn on either shard0 or shard1.
Game performance in all aspects is an important area of our work. It was not left unnoticed by us that game simulation performance (tick rate) noticeably decreased lately due to the increase of the number of objects and growing complexity of players' scripts. We understand it can lead to negative sentiment on the subscription-based model, and we won't tolerate this situation.
But the Screeps game world has grown to such an extent that the most powerful machine available from our hoster currently runs our database at 100% of its capacity. We can't merely add runtime servers anymore since the database can't manage such amount of I/O requests. We experimented with different setups of database sharding and replication, but all of them incur unacceptable overhead. We also tried different database management system (we use MongoDB currently), but it didn't work out as well. It looks like the most effective way to horizontally scale our world without performance penalty is to review the very architecture of our servers cluster.
Currently, our cluster can be represented in a classic "star" layout with the database in the center and runtime servers on edges. The game world is consistent and synchronized as a whole. We have moved from this architecture to a new layout of "multiple loosely coupled stars." Our consistent game world will be divided into "shards" each with its own database of game objects, own game map, and own set of connected runtime servers. Creeps will be able to move between shards through special portals, but different shards will see time flowing independently without synchronization (i.e. Game.time in different shards will not match and tick rates will differ).
Your code is executed in each shard separately. A special API allows you to determine which shard runs your code at the current moment. You will be able to set your CPU limit for each shard on a special page, and their total sum should match your account limit.
The new system will lead us to an easily scalable horizontal system allowing for expanding the game world virtually without limitations and without increasing.
By now, we've generated and opened a new shard1. It already has central sectors open for settlement. We'll open new sectors around them as the need arises. The portals leading from shard0 to shard1 have already been created and put to place, but walled for 60 days.
No inter-shard interactions will be available during this period. You can settle in shard1 only by complete resettling there. You can think of shard1 as a giant Respawn Area and an opportunity to make a fresh start in the whole new world.
During this period, we'll develop and provide for testing special tools for managing CPU and GCL resources of your account and their distribution between shards.
When 60 days are over, the portals will open, and outside invaders will appear to compete with native shard1 inhabitants for new territory!
Your script is executed on each shard individually and independently.
Your GCL and CPU limit should be allocated to each shard using the special section in the Overview UI or via API (still in development; currently you have full GCL and CPU in each shard).
Console contents is broadcasted from every shard with the corresponding note in the console UI.
Memory is isolated; you have separate 2 MB of Memory and 10 MB of Memory Segments in each shard.
There is a special memory segment that can be used for passing messages between shards.
Markets are separate. However, credits balance and history are shared between shards.
150 ticks for creeps with CLAIM parts.
This rule eliminates the abuse of inter-shard portals for quick travel in the same shard.
Added new global object Game.shard.
Added new type of StructurePortal.destination object format with shard property.
Constants WORLD_WIDTH and WORLD_HEIGHT are now considered deprecated and should not be used.
Removed obsolete and undocumented Room.mode property. If you used this property to check for simulation mode, please use Game.shard.name == 'sim' instead.
These changes are supported in private server v2.8.0.

Q: How can I cycle through Editor: Word Wrap settings in VS Code with a shortcut? Is there a way to cycle through VS Code's four word-wrap (editor.wordWrap) settings?
The four settings are:

*

*off

*on (lines will wrap at viewport width)

*wordWrapColumn (lines will wrap at editor.wordWrapColumn)

*bounded (lines will wrap at minimum of viewport width and editor.wordWrapColumn)

All I can do right now is toggle wrapping on and off (I've bound this to a shortcut). Note, by 'on' I mean it toggles between off and whichever of the three 'on' states is set.
Depending on what I am doing, I'd like to cycle through the settings instead of toggle on and off.
I've not been able to find a plugin that does this specifically. Is there perhaps a generic way to cycle or select specific settings?

"Are gamblers the most superstitious people in the world?
Gambling and superstition seem to go hand in hand! What other industry bases the design of their building on their players and their superstitious minds!
Colors, placement of slots and tables, and even doors...moved and changed just to accomodate the customers!
I am probably the worst when it comes to superstition! I thought I was bad in highschool when pitching on the baseball team. I would always do the same weird stuff with my glove and baseball before I threw tha ball! Well welcome to the world of gambling!
When I gamble...I am very superstitious! Not the bets I make or decisions I make but some things I do. I do of course have a lucky gambling shirt! It just happens to be the shirt I was wearing on my 21st birthday and amazingly enough...my lucky night! I always walk into a casino through the door all the way to the right! I never touch the ropes by the pit! I embarrasingly enough always use the same bathroom, toilet, and sink at my local casino! I refuse to wash my hands during a winning streak...I just won't use the restroom while I am winning. And of course when I am losing...off to the bathroom I go...to wash the bad luck off my hands. I always buy 3 $5 dollar chips and don't spend them. I just cash them out when I leave! That one started a long time ago so I would have money to tip the valet guys!!! Well, I won that night and ever since then it has become a rule! And I always use the same cashier at whichever casino I am at. If they are not there...I keep my chips until they are! I could go on forever!
I thought I had seen it all until one day I was blown away! One of my regular high limit players and I were talking outside the pit when a dealer on a blackjack table next to us happened to sneeze 7 times consecutively. Much to my surprise my friend and regular player offered a man $1000 cash to have his seat at the sneezing dealers table. He told me it was a sign and had to play immediately or he would never gamble again! Unfortunately I think he misread the sign considering he lost the first 10 hands in a row and lost over $3000 at that table!
I see all kinds of mysterious gambling decisions brought on by superstition. I was dealing Paigow one night and a player got up and left because the first hand I dealt him was a pair of 9's with an ace/king up top. I asked him why he was leaving and he said 9 was his unlucky number! He won the hand...I turned over a 10 high paigow and he still left. I thought he was crazy!
I think everyone has a superstitious side. Have you ever seen pennies around blackjack tables? There is an old wise tale having to do with heads and tails. People throw them at the side of the table and depending on the outcome...they may play or move on!
One time I saw a lady rubbing her husbands balled head on the screen of the slot machine she was playing. Believe it or not...I witnessed her balled husband bring her luck! She hit that slot for like ten grand later that night! They took a picture of them together with him rubbing his head on the slot and put it on the wall in the lobby!
I was dealing baccarat one night and a man at my table had fingernails like 2 inches long on his left hand. After an hour or so I asked him if he wanted me to buy him some nail clippers on my break...just joking around with him. He told me that one night he messed up and only cut the nails on his right hand. Went to the casino and won all night long. He decided not to cut his nails until he lost at the casinos in fear of changing his luck. He was on a major winning streak and he ended up almost $1000 ahead at my table for the night starting with $100 dollars! Not bad!
I dealt to this guy at the bac table one time and he had these little voodoo dolls he used to set on the table. He claimed they scared off the bad luck! One night one of his friends hid them when he went to get a drink. He was almost in tears when his friends swore they didn't know where his little dolls were. He had won like 6 hands in a row until the dolls disappeared! They gave them back after he lost the next 3 hands!
The only thing I can't figure out is who is more superstitious...table game players or slot players!!!
I hope your superstitious habits bring you as much luck as mine bring me! "
Effective February 1, 2002 the best on-line casino Sands of the Caribbean is enhancing its monthly bonus from $50 to $75 after a deposit of $200 or more.
This bonus is not only for initial sign-in, but goes for each month.
Now you can also use PayPal for your deposits and withdrawals, which is even faster and more efficient.
It is good to be acquainted with multiple systems, as sometimes one or another system may fail, and you need to switch to a different strategy based on the table conditions or based on finding a favorable situation for a particular strategy.
In my recent research I have also found that certain combination of systems prove to be even more successful than using them individually.
For instance the Reward system has an excellent type of progression, with which you need to win only one more than one third of all your bets in even bets. Its betting selection, though, has some limitations. Flat Bet Mini Play - Baccarat system, on the other hand, has an excellent betting selection, one of the best, that takes advantage of the most frequently occurring patterns. Using the Reward system's progression with the betting selection of Flat Bet Mini Play has yielded outstanding results.
If you have both systems, you should give it a try. If you don't have those systems already, I will give you a $100 discount when you purchase both using the secure order form. The same special deal counts for if you have only one of the systems. You get $100 off on the purchase of the second one. Upon your order, I will include the explanation on how to combine both strategies.
Similarly, another fantastic combination I have discovered is the usage of the progression documented in Sparkling Dozens system, which is based on betting on two dozens at the same time with the unique betting selection of the Relaxed Roulette system, which is also based on two dozens bet.
Again, if you already have both systems, you need to use the progression of System 3 of Sparkling Dozens instead of Relaxed Roulette's progression, but applying Relaxed Roulette's betting selection.
If you don't already have both or either of the two systems, the same discount applies. Upon the purchase of both systems, you get $100 off and if you already have either one of the systems, you get $100 discount on the purchase of the second one. I will also include some additional tips on the best way to use both systems at the same time.
