Nine at Mary Brickell luxury condominium under construction & slated for May 2014 completion
The first collaborative effort by industry powerhouses Starwood Capital Group and LYND; Sales led by Fortune International beginning Aug. 2013
Nine at Mary Brickell Village, a new luxury condominium located in the heart of Mary Brickell Village at 999 Southwest 1st Ave., will include 390 elegantly appointed residential units and rise 34 stories to overlook the neighborhood's culinary, nightlife and retail scene. Slated for completion in May 2014, Nine at Mary Brickell Village will be brought to life by industry powerhouses Starwood Capital Group and LYND, with sales led by Fortune International. Equity financing for the project is being provided by New York-based BlackRock, on behalf of an institutional investor.
"After a year of planning, we are excited to bring this project to market," says Michael Lynd, Jr., CEO & Chief Investment Officer of San Antonio-based real estate firm LYND, most recently credited for the highly successful EnV development in Chicago. "Our team is as strong as any in the country and we are excited for the opportunity to deliver a long-anticipated, first-class residential experience to the heart of Brickell. Mary Brickell Village is one of the most unique environments in the country, with its mixture of cultural, dining, shopping, nightlife, and fitness activities, as well as its proximity to mass transit. Our research indicates that these urban locations appeal to a wide variety of households with families, empty nesters, and young professionals choosing to live in this type of 24-hour atmosphere. This is the next generation of living."
"This is the perfect opportunity to create a premier luxury condominium that embodies the vibrant soul of Miami," says Ken O'Neill, Senior Vice President of Starwood Capital Group. "We are very excited to be partnered with this talented group of developers and investors with the common goal of creating an iconic residence for the thriving neighborhood of Mary Brickell Village."
Standing as the only residential tower in Mary Brickell Village, Nine will feature units starting from $300,000. There are 30 available floor plans for units, which will be sold in one-, two-, or three-bedroom formats, and ranging in size from 744 to more than 2,098 square feet (69 to 194 square meters). Residences will boast beautifully appointed kitchens with stainless steel appliances, 9- to 11 foot ceilings, quartz countertops and backsplashes, designer fixtures and hardware, oversized mirrors, spacious walk-in closets, and large soaking tubs.
Nine will deliver a unique residential lifestyle experience and, in today's competitive market, this development reflects a higher level never before seen in the lively Mary Brickell Village," says Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune Internationalwhich will launch sales in August 2013. "We expect the project to be extremely attractive to downtown professionals seeking a high-rise setting in the heart of Brickell and surrounded by authentic Miami attractions."
Nine at Mary Brickell Village will offer a variety of social amenities, including: an expansive one-acre, lushly landscaped recreation deck with pavilions and intimate cabanas; media lounge; pool deck with heated resort-style swimming pool; fitness center equipped with a wide range of Precor equipment including cardio machines with integrated touchscreen televisions; and state-of-the-art videoconferencing room. The pet-friendly project will also include a dog run on the eleventh floor of the building. A secret zen garden with tranquil landscaped walking paths, intimate seating areas and dining tables will also be featured on the building's eleventh floor in a one-acre private park dedicated to lounging, socializing and enjoying quiet moments alone. On-site security will be present, as well as concierge services that will include the arrangement of limo and town car transportation, housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, personal fitness trainers, poolside massage, and pet care. Covered parking and valet services will also be available.
Owners of Nine at Mary Brickell Village condominiums will enjoy use of the private Grand Bay Club of Key Biscayne, adding private beach club amenities to their already luxurious urban oasis. The Grand Bay Club offers a tropical retreat and access to exclusive oceanfront cabanas with service stations, a poolside tiki bar, a variety of swimming pools, and superb indoor and outdoor dining overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Nine at Mary Brickell Village will be adjacent to the upcoming Brickell CityCentre, a mixed-use complex co-developed by the owners of Bal Harbour Shops, which is expected to include nine acres of upper-tier and premium luxury shopping, restaurants and hotels. Residents of Nine will be offered a mix of nightlife and restaurant options. Nearby destinations include the Four Seasons Hotel, Viceroy, Cipriani, and Katsuya, located in the upcoming SLS Hotel. Elevators will whisk residents down to the epicenter of Mary Brickell Village's shops and restaurants such as Perricone's Marketplace, Rosa Mexicano and The Oceanaire Seafood Room, which complement other high-profile restaurants in a neighborhood that is currently experiencing phenomenal growth. Residences will be in walking distance to the Metrorail and Metromover Brickell station, and will have access to Publix Super Market and the L.A. Fitness health club, both located at the base of the building.

Terra Group Breaks Ground On Grove at Grand Bay, Coconut Grove's Newest Luxury Real Estate Residences
Grove at Grand Bay will serve as an area landmark, setting the bar for future development in Coconut Grove," says Pedro Martin , Terra Group's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Founder who, together with son and Co-Founder David Martin , is developing the project. "Since Grove at Grand Bay launched, we have sold more than $250 million worth of inventory, a figure that shows buyers' eagerness to become a part of this exciting new wave of design."
Pedro Martin and David Martin , founders and owners of leading Miami real estate development company Terra Group, have announced groundbreaking for Grove at Grand Bay, the new luxury residence project located in the epicenter of historic Coconut Grove at 2675 South Bayshore Dr. The twin spiraling towers will rise above the lush flora and fauna for which The Grove is known, offering pristine waterfront views of Sailboat Bay and the marina. Removed from the busy pace of South Beach and Downtown Miami, yet still minutes away by car, this microcosm will be within walking distance of the village's charming restaurants, boutiques and entertainment venues. Sales for the South Tower have officially launched; 100 percent of the units in the North Tower have sold in less than one year.
David Martin adds, "Among South Florida's most in-demand communities, Coconut Grove has a unique history renowned for embracing the arts and nature. Some of history's most creative minds have made Coconut Grove their home over the decades, including Robert Frost , Alexander Graham Bell , Tennessee Williams, David Crosby and Howard Hughes ."
"Our vision was to create an eco-conscious residential project so sculptural and visually spectacular that it would become a statement for a new Coconut Grove. There was no architect in the world better suited to realize this than Bjarke Ingels," continues Martin, who is committed to bringing world-class architecture and design to Miami.
Bjarke Ingels, founder of BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) is an award-winning architect acclaimed for designing buildings "as programmatically and technically innovative as they are resource-conscious." Bjarke's singular vision for the LEED-certified Grove at Grand Bay has resulted in the creation of a modern masterpiece: Two glass-and-steel-encased towers rising in the sky 20 stories high, elegantly twisted at a 38-degree angle and housing 98 expansive residences. "There are some architects who only care about their sculpture," said David Martin , president of Terra Group. Bjarke on the other hand, really approaches things in a really genuine, humble manner and is really conscientious and respectful."
"Grove at Grand Bay is inspired by 'engineering without engines,' or using contemporary technology to create buildings that look different because they perform differently," says Ingels. "By creating balconies at an unprecedented 12 feet tall and 12 feet deep, we combine generous views and outdoor space with natural shade, maximizing daylight and optimizing shade. The sliders are also hurricane-proof, something all South Floridians can appreciate."
Individual condominium units are spacious and designed to integrate interior living space with Coconut Grove's natural splendor, featuring floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that open to terraces offering panoramic views of Sailboat Bay and the marina, as well as the Miami skyline and coastline. Priced from $3 million, these residences in the sky are tailored to a modern lifestyle that values both family life and entertaining at home, with living, dining, kitchen and family rooms configured in a continuous rectangular space.
Central to the project's architecture is the 're-Groving' of the site, led by award-winning landscape architect Raymond Jungles, whose vision will be translated into a flow of lush vegetation through shared lobby spaces, walkways and terraces to reinforce the idea of continuity.
Grove at Grand Bay's amenities include a multi-lingual butler, on-site chef, curator-maintained art gallery, a gym and spa with separate facilities for men and women, a pet spa, and four pools — a 25-meter lap pool, 25-meter swimming and lounging pool, and two rooftop pools with covered cabanas.

The crocodile tears on the Labour Right about racism should fool no one
The current chapter with Ruth Smeeth and Marc Wadsworth has only underlined how the right wing of the Labour Party have nothing to offer but theatrics. They are far more resistant to the left wing of their own party than they will ever be to the Conservatives. The ridiculous 'march-of-solidarity' a number of Red Tory MPs carried out with Smeeth on Friday, as she headed out to hear the findings of the National Constitutional Committee's investigation, was just another example of their over-orchestration.
That little parade the Blairite MPs did was quite useful as in the end now we know who to deselect.
Cheers guys! pic.twitter.com/lbVnTIOqcm

No one should be fooled for a moment by any of this. These people are no more worried about racism than they are about an invasion of Earth by the armies of Ming The Merciless. Their expressions of disgust are only triggered selectively after all. The current clamour about the appalling mistreatment of the Windrush Generation by the Tories is the clearest and most scandalous example of institutional racism in this country in generations. An unspoken but clear expression that victims did not 'count' as truly British, and were therefore perfectly acceptable fodder for a policy designed to get net immigration down by any means. And yet all of these Labour MPs shedding crocodile tears for Ruth Smeeth – and indeed Smeeth herself – seem incredibly reluctant to call it racist. They rightly attack the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, for incompetence. Her lack of awareness of so many goings-on at the Home Office are reminiscent of Jim Hacker trying to find out information from Sir Humphrey Appleby, and Yes, Minister was supposed to be a parody. But the racial dimension is unmistakable, and yet few of the people losing bladder-control over Smeeth's spat with Wadsworth (over something that could only be interpreted as racist by the most ridiculous mental gymnastics), will mention that dimension over the Windrush Scandal.
Luciana Berger, who is also Jewish, is one Labour MP I particularly want to single out for condemnation. I used to respect her for her work on mental health. I was marching next to her at an anti-Tory protest in Birmingham about eighteen months ago. But she no longer has my respect, and if the chance ever came up, I would refuse to march with her ever again.
Berger triggered last month's ridiculous clamour about a mural that does not even exist anymore, just as Labour's Local Election campaign was getting underway. It was so blatant what she was doing, it astounds me how few people have picked up on it. She put up a tweet with a screenshot of Jeremy Corbyn questioning on social media way back in 2012 the removal of the Brick Lane Mural, and claimed that she had demanded an explanation from the Leader's office earlier that day. Not long after, she put up another tweet complaining that the response of the 'spokesperson' from the Leader's office was not good enough. She did not state what the response was, or what was wrong with it. What is clear is that she had not offered much time for a response.
Why did Berger feel the need to announce this on social media? Why did she not make a full attempt to discuss it with Corbyn in private first? Why did she not at least give Corbyn time to look into it and refresh his memory? Why did she feel that this was important at all, given six years had passed since the mural had been painted over? Why did she feel it was important, given that, despite the clamour, the mural was not anti-Semitic in its content? Why did she have to announce it then, and not three years earlier when the matter had previously been raised in the media? Why did she have to choose a moment that was sure to de-rail a Local Election campaign?
The answer to all of these questions is the same, and it is obvious. She and her right-wing colleagues are trying to get rid of Corbyn any way they can, and they find the nearest they have to an effective weapon against him is supposed 'anti-Semitism' among his supporters. And as the Angry Yorkshireman points out, the Blairites and their allies had little choice but to side with the left during the General Election a year ago, because their own seats in the House of Commons were at stake. But they are perfectly happy to sacrifice local councillors and the hard work of grass-roots activists up and down the UK, in order to create a Local Elections disaster, for which Corbyn can then take the blame.
Berger was in yesterday's march, even though she must have been as aware as anyone that Smeeth had repeatedly lied about what had happened during her spat with Wadsworth. Smeeth put up the following statement on social media not long after the contretemps; –
Smeeth's lies and exaggerations are considerable. Wadsworth most certainly did not say anything anti-Semitic, for reasons I outlined yesterday. He did not speak of a 'media conspiracy', nor did he espouse any other 'vile conspiracy theories about Jewish people'. Smeeth's statement then twisted events, on very doubtful grounds, into an attack on Corbyn. It is noticeable that Smeeth felt compelled to take the statement down from her Twitter feed in February this year, perhaps hoping that her false claims could not be summoned back to haunt her.
In a later interview with the Evening Standard, she claimed,
"Wadsworth… said, 'Ruth Smeeth is working hand- in-hand with the Right-wing media to attack Jeremy'. So I shouted, 'How dare you?' The audience started shouting at me — at the launch of an inquiry into how we treat Jews in the Labour Party!
However, it is quite clear from video of the incident that no one was shouting at Smeeth. From the soundtrack, some people seemed to be hushing her because they were trying to hear what Wadsworth was saying, but that is quite different from what Smeeth claims.
Smeeth further claims that, in the aftermath of the spat, she received over twenty-five thousand abusive messages, including twenty-thousand in about twelve hours. That she sat there while receiving all this hostility, earnestly counting the messages, seems implausible in itself, but as Jonathan Cook points out, an analysis of the facts raises severe doubts about her claim anyway. The Community Security Trust, a Jewish lobby group in the UK that, a little like the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, has a habit of seeing anti-Semitic attitudes lurking around every corner, carried out a study of anti-Semitic activity on Twitter across a year-long period that, as luck would have it, included the spell in which Smeeth claims to have been 'under siege'. Their research found that there were only fifteen thousand anti-Semitic tweets.
"She received fifteen thousand anti-Semitic tweets?!?" I hear you cry. "All right, it's less than she said, but that's still horrible!!!"
Well, yes, it would be, except for two details; the fifteen thousand figure is not the total number Smeeth received. It is in fact for the total number of anti-Semitic tweets the CST were able to detect for the entire year. And they were from all of the UK, including all anti-Semitic tweets that had not been directed at Smeeth.
In fairness to Smeeth, she might have meant abuse of a more general type, and some of it may have been away from Twitter, but given she has spent several years using this incident to talk up the phenomenon of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, it seems likely that she was being deliberately misleading. Either way, the twenty-five thousand figure sounds fantastically inflated, if not plucked out of thin air. So she was lying. Again.
I find it difficult to believe that Berger was unaware of all of this, and yet she, and other colleagues, still found Smeeth's plight of "anti-Semitic bullying" so great that they had to express complete solidarity with her, while paying comparatively little mind to the far more severe plight of the Windrush generation.
To sum up the Labour Right position; –
An MP on the receiving end of a snide remark about co-operating with the Telegraph is a victim of racism. A generation of innocent people threatened with deportation from the country they helped to rebuild after the war, because they have a background of oppressed colonial slavery, are not victims of racism, but of incompetence.
The real give-away though, is that these two-faced Blairite frauds are not even consistent in their anti-racist stance among their fellow MPs. No other MP in the UK has suffered as much, or as vile, abuse of both the racist and misogynistic varieties, as Shadow Home Secretary, Diane Abbott. She gets abuse, especially on Twitter, every day. Including recently, calls for her beheading.
You might laugh at the reference to lightsabres, but don't ignore the bit when 'Greg' says "whatever you can put your hands on."
Half the Labour Party were ridiculously quick to express sympathy and support for Berger when she tried to claim she was 'hurt' by the business with the mural. (Oh really? Grow a skin, Luciana!) And the same suspects were quick to join the march with Smeeth on Friday.
But when Abbott gets bombarded with, frankly, primitive abuse over social media or in public, these same MPs' Twitter feeds are so quiet you can hear pixels on their profile pictures clearing their throats.
The above threat was sent to Abbott on the 15th of April.
Check Luciana Berger's Twitter feed on that date and the days afterwards… nothing!
What about Harriet Harman, Mother of the House, and always a staunch champion of female MPs against misogynistic abuse…. no, nothing!
How about John Mann, who has been extremely loud in his opposition to supposed anti-Semitism? Does he oppose anti-black racist threats too….? No, nothing!
What about Ruth Smeeth? She demands so much solidarity and support when she claims to be a victim of racial abuse, so surely she would have spoken out against the threat Diane Abbott received…? No, nothing!
How about John Woodcock, who made a point of supporting Smeeth very publicly, while joining the insinuations that Jews who do not support Israel are 'the wrong kind'? Did he back Diane Abbott against threats….? No, nothing!
And on. And on. As I say, Abbott gets abuse on a totally different scale from anyone else in Parliament every single day, and her colleagues on the right wing of the party always just ignore it. The reason, almost certainly, is that she is a Corbyn supporter in the Shadow Cabinet, and therefore, despite her admittedly modest talents, she is regarded as an 'enemy' who has to be removed. Expressing any support for her might evoke sympathy for her, and the Red Tories are worried that that would make it harder to get rid of her.
The strategy is comprehensible, but also makes a complete joke of the manufactured outrage against supposed 'anti-Semitism'. The only racism they get fired up about is the type that is exaggerated and against individuals who are far less vulnerable than victims who are isolated (Abbott) and powerless (the Windrush Generation).
Being Jewish, I would welcome a sincere attempt to combat anti-Semitism. But that anti-Semitism has to be real to begin with, and the attempt to fight it should never happen at the cost of fighting more egregious racism that does more substantial harm. What real anti-Semitism there is in the Labour Party at present is intermittent and fleeting, and no matter how distressing it can be, it causes little real harm. Whereas the institutional racism highlighted by the Windrush Scandal has done enormous harm, and simply has to be dealt with first, on the basis of what it really is – not just Tory incompetence, but Tory racism and incompetence. Labour right wingers need to march with anti-racist groups and attend anti-racism demonstrations in support of all minorities, not just the ones in support of colleagues who are quite clearly telling lies anyway.
Otherwise, they are just using accusations of racism as a weapon, and as I have pointed out many times before, that makes them racists themselves.

ΑΛΗΘΩΣ
Two Weeks To Flatten The World
By Michael Bryant | OffGuardian | March 25, 2022
All this is a digression. The real power, the power we have to fight for night and day, is not power over things, but over men. How does one man assert his power over another? … By making him suffer. Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating?
George Orwell, "1984"
"We become slaves the moment we hand the keys to the definition of reality entirely over to someone else, whether it is a business, an economic theory, a political party, the White House, Newsworld, or CNN."
B.W. Powe
COVID-19 has magically disappeared.
After more than two years of non-stop bombardment with Covid "news", there has been none at all in mainstream headlines for over a week. The media giveth and the media taketh away.
Through the immaculate erasure of the 'Covid Crisis,' those responsible for these harms are attempting to make us forget what they did to us, our families, and the permanent damage they caused to society.
Think back to what life was like two years ago and imagine if someone told you that a "health emergency" would require a crackdown on all social and economic life.
Remarkably, the public health orders moved quickly from "flattening the curve" and "slowing the spread" to containment, suppression, contact tracing, social isolation, quarantine, face coverings, de facto house arrest aka "lockdowns" (a prison/slave camp term), and mandated experimental injections.
In order to "keep us safe" government policies mushroomed from innocuous instructions into draconian decrees.
The limitation of the right to engage in basic economic transactions; the limitation of the right to freedom of movement; limitations on the right to practice religion; the suspension of the right to an education; the denial of the right to a livelihood; the removal of the right to receive or refuse medical attention; suspension of public meetings; suspension of juries; suppression of the right to freedom of expression; denial of the right to assembly; and much else became the new operating principles of "The Covid World."
The institution of a bio-security police state was birthed according to health authorities and others the power to quarantine someone considered "infected" or simply to have been in contact with a purported "case."
To make this appear necessary and acceptable, an intensive full-spectrum psychological assault on our sensibilities was implemented. Covid-19 was hyped as the 'New Black Death'.
We were told by 'important-looking people' that millions will die, the entire planet is in danger, a global response is required and everyone must get in line with the program whilst "heroes" and "experts" take charge of this new global war to keep us safe.
Illogical catchphrases designed to hypnotize the public into a malleable mental state were repeated over and over in every media outlet, across virtually every social institution, and plastered throughout all walks of the public sphere.
"Flatten the Curve", "The New Normal", "Social Distancing" and "Follow the Science" became the nation's Covid shibboleths. Media bullhorns relentlessly blasted the doublespeak into the public psyche. Oxymorons and euphemisms dominated the contours of any and all "Covid-related" discourse.
Such linguistic manipulations were readily absorbed and seamlessly adopted by much of the public and became the Doublethink phraseology of the Covid Era.
Mantras of the Covid Era were followed by a fleet of psychologically disorienting and arbitrary 'regulations', 'advice', and 'guidelines' which were quickly put in place, selectively enforced and subsequently changed.
No one was spared.
Children came under sustained psychological attacks, branded 'super spreaders', and were told to keep away from the grandparents lest they "kill granny."
Operating in a fog of psychological trauma, everyone moved through a world devoid of smiles and laughter where faces were hidden by masks and smothered in cloth.
This barrage of brutalizing manipulations was designed to condition us to accept the tyrannical impositions of "The New Normal." The emotional toll, because of COVID fear-mongering and media hysteria, caused the citizenry to become mentally tamed like institutionalized prisoners who would come begging for "a way out."
The preordained and only "allowed" exit from this viral nightmare demanded that society embrace the magical "cure" of the "miracle" inoculation. A medical miracle promised to be so effective that it would be required year after year after year.
When not embraced it would be enforced.
One of the striking characteristics of the media blitzkrieg surrounding the Covid "pandemic" – or, to be more precise, the reporting of the "pandemic" – is how it so easily resembled the "War on Terror" or indeed, any war, when considered purely in terms of its effect.
Mask wearing became a patriotic duty. "Security theater" became a feature of everyday life. The vast carnage of Covid policies was sloughed off as "collateral damage."
Lost in the sound and fury of this media bombardment were evidence, observation, and measurement– 3 of the key pillars of science.
These were replaced by make-believe forecasts, computer-generated estimates, or other not to be questioned 'scientific metrics' that hospitals would be over-run, mortuaries would spill into the streets and crematoriums would run out of fuel disposing of all the bodies.
Even as direct observation and real scientific data showed none of this to be true, the public health apparatus and media juggernaut ensured the public would not be exposed to such heresy.
A digital curtain of mass McCarthyite-like censorship descended upon this "Brave New World" of fact-free hysteria.
No amount of evidence could slow the propaganda machine which remained in high gear spitting out a non-stop stream of sanctimonious slogans and exaggerated death tallies.
The intended effect was widespread panic, resulting in a collective psychosis that negated all thought.
"We don't have time!"
"We must act now!"
"Listen to the "experts!"
"Follow the science!"
"We don't have the "luxury" of critical thinking!"
And most importantly:
"All who question the "official" narrative must be condemned."
Put simply, Covid-19 was not an epidemiological event, it was a psychological operation.
Two years later, as bureaucrats and politicians wind down the Covid restrictions in order to quell growing unrest, we can be assured they will insist on retaining the "right" to re-impose them at will.
As long as "new variants lurk right around the corner", public health bureaucrats and pandemic profiteers can invent the next "health emergency" to impose more shutdowns for any "viral event" that conveniently suits their political and financial aims.
While the Covid propaganda has vanished it is imperative we keep the mountain of lies under scrutiny and continue unveiling the massive corruption that defines the "Covid Era." This is the only path towards justice and is necessary to defend against future episodes of "pandemic" hysteria.
Ultimately there can be no comprehensive debate and complete understanding of the devastating consequences of the 'Covid Crisis' policies without a historical and up-to-date analysis of the Medical Industry's role in pushing socioeconomic and political agendas which benefit the ruling elites.
It is vital to understand that the public health industry is now directly tied to global markets and operates based on the demands of those financial conglomerates. Manufactured pandemics are now mammoth investment opportunities that increase the wealth of billionaires and further consolidate their power.
It is also necessary to recognize that the primary purpose of the medical industry is no longer the "art of healing", rather as a financial instrument benefiting investors.
'We the people' must also recognize that the Medical Industry has now been fully weaponized as a punitive system designed to process, dehumanize and control every single person in the system. Before our very eyes, we have seen up close how mere biological existence is criminalized by that system.
The magic act of Covid vanishing from media view and public perception is not due to any medical miracle or the natural trajectory of a virus losing its potency. It was performed by those who manufactured this reality and committed countless crimes, coordinated in an attempt to slip out the back door, avoid further public inquiry and escape any legal consequences.
Though the story of the virus is nearly over, the sorcery that created it has not been exorcised.
The urgent message that we must take from these past two years is that we are under sustained psychological warfare and have been for quite some time.
We won't have truly won until it is universally established that Medical Freedom is not a negotiable commodity controlled by state bureaucrats, political opportunists, or the medical cartel.
Nothing has been won until the ideology that the state controls our bodily autonomy has been thoroughly repudiated.
This story is not finished until the individuals and institutions that deceived the public and censored and persecuted dissenting voices over the past two years are publicly held accountable.
This fight is not over.

If anything has been learned from this "Covid Fiasco" it is this. Our Mainstream Media cannot be trusted to tell us the truth. In fact, we must never trust our MSM again, 90 times out of 100, it won't matter, but, in matters of Health, War, etc, Our Media are the REAL PROBLEM because they are beholding to the Government, and are more than happy to lie, like Pigs in Sh t, to "Fool the People"……
I am continually astonished at the number of people, here in Australia, who buy Murdoch papers or watch FOX TV, every day. It defies belief.
Do not trust what your Government tells you.

Ukrainegate 13,000 Times Worse Than You Think
By Joe Giambrone | Dissident Voice | November 22, 2019
Did you know that Donald Trump had the State Department, USAID, NED, and the CIA fund and train Neo-Nazi, fascist militias to overthrow the government of Ukraine? These riot mobs, primarily Svoboda and Right Sector, stormed the capital, firebombed and shot the police, and destroyed democracy inside Ukraine. When the legitimately elected president was forced out by the rioters, the population which had supported him in the east seceded from the country, tearing the entire nation into pieces and sparking a civil war. The Ukraine civil war has cost the lives of over 13,000 Ukrainians. There is so much blood on Donald Trump's hands.
Oh, wait a minute! That was Barack Obama. Change that paragraph, please.
Since 2014, it's been glaringly obvious to astute (and honest) observers that the Administration of Barack Obama and Joe Biden supported the most vicious street mobs in Europe, people who considered themselves proud fascists. Western media routinely censored this part of the story. … continue

Timely Treasure
Social Democratic Party
December 19, 2016 Karen
Pavel Vlasov image in the novel Gorky "Mother" Pavel Vlasov – the first image of the worker – a communist in the literature. In a revolutionary – a romantic Gorky celebrates the people, "who can not feel sorry for yourself," who commit heroic feats. Later Gorky met with Peter Zalomov Sormovo workers, the prototype of the hero of the novel "Mother" by Pavel Vlasov. Pavel Vlasov – a real embodiment of heroism and achievement Bitter sung in the romantic revolutionary products. Vlasov – the first image of the revolutionary workers of the third stage of revolutionary – the liberation movement in Russia. Pavel Vlasov has distinctive features from the revolutionaries of the preceding period: 1) the Vlasov – comes from the people, working-class and is closely associated with it, and 2) Vlasov knows the path of liberation from oppression of the working class, has the theory of scientific communism, and 3) Vlasov – representative of the party created by Lenin.
Vlasov image in the novel is given to the development. In the beginning he went the usual path of youth. Later, he approaches the revolutionary intellectuals, unlike their parents, who shunned them. He read forbidden literature, actively participates in meetings. Lenin speaks of the workers: "Among the workers stand out are the real heroes who, despite an ugly situation, are in themselves so much character and strength and will to learn and develop from a Social Democrats, working-class intelligentsia.
"circle Pavel Vlasov goes to practice. The first open statement of Paul – "the story of the marsh penny", which has tempered people. The scene of collision with Paul Police filled with deep meaning, shows his conviction, courage, talent as an organizer. Speech at the trial of Paul speaks of his high culture, loyalty, political conviction. At the end of his speech he said: "We Won – workers ". At trial, Paul does not look like the accused, but as a prosecutor. Ideological – political role of Pavel Vlasov is that Gorky reveals the organizing and leadership roles in the revolutionary struggle. Under the influence Pavel Rybin exempt from error, taking the path of revolutionary struggle Nilovna. Over a doomed capitalist world are the words Vlasov: "We won – the workers!". Speech of Paul to court – it is the speaker, delivered of pathos, it is full of political slogans. Comparing it to the Vlasov court in which he outlines a program of the Social Democratic Party, said about the inevitability of socialist revolution, with performance op about "marsh penny", you may notice that this speech – this illiterate guy who did not support the people. It is the first step in the development of revolutionary borby.Vtoroy stage occurs during the May Day demonstration. Here we are more expressive and Paul vivid than in the history of the "marsh penny." He is supported by most of the workers.

Guitar Lessons Tulsa | We Teach Piano Too
by ron | Oct 1, 2019 | Uncategorized
Guitar Lessons Tulsa | Pianos
Now today in this podcast, I want to talk about the importance of having multiple pianos. So here at Curtis music Academy, like I've said before, we are just absolutely swamped with students. In fact, sometimes we don't even have a place to put them in. We overbook ourselves on accident because we do have so many students and we are so flexible with their time schedules that most of the time most of our students want to come after school or after work. That means that a lot of our students are at, they're coming at three 30 to four 45 area or after work from five 30 to six 30 we even teach lessons all the way up until nine o'clock at night but are definitely that.
Our biggest, most popular time of the day is in the late afternoon, early evening because that's when everyone is available for the most part.Unless your kids are homeschooled or something, unless one of the parents just home with the kids. There is really no, no time during the day to make lessons happen or come to the studio has to do so. So most of our students are in the evening. And that's why it's so important that we have lots of pianos in classrooms in order for them to play. So I'm Curtis music Academy. The majority of our students are actually piano students. That's why we have way more piano instructors than we do guitar instructors.
So for example, I think we've got three guitar instructors right now and we have four or five peanut instructors. So it's really important that we keep our peanut instructors really happy and have plenty of students because we do have so many piano students that it's important that we keep track of their hours as well and make sure they're getting all the students that they need, but not too many to where the fact that they're overwhelmed.But why do mean by having so many pianos? Is that at Curtis music Academy? Right now in our studio house, and we typically have those two studios as you know.
But we also got a new piano and it's in the back of the sooty house, just past the kitchen right next to the door that goes outside. So that is our third piano at Curtis music Academy. And it's important because sometimes we do have to use that third piano balls on. Technically in a practice room. It is far enough at the back of the house that we're able to teach lessons there if we absolutely have to. It's definitely not our first choice but we are able to do it if we need to do so. So we do have those three pianos plus we have a keyboard in the office room. So many of you know I typically spend most of my time in the back office room at Curtis music Academy and I do all the logistics work and all the administrative work.
Right now I'm just doing a bunch of podcasts back here but it's kinda tucked away in the back and by myself. So this is typically the office cause there is a desk in here, your computer and printer and all the storage stuff. This is where I do most of my work and where Ron does a lot of his work when he's not teaching guitar lessons. But there is actually another keyboard back here. That way if we need to teach four lessons at one time, we definitely can. So this keyboard is actually probably our third option besides the two studio rooms is probably the third one that we'd go to because then it is in its own private room, although we often have someone working back here and usually me. But we also have the Fort piano in the back of the house. Like I talked about.
It's really important because we have four pianos, which means we can teach four people at one time. And lastly, our last resort option is that Ronnie Kelly's house. So we use the teach lesson down at Ronnie Kelly's house. That's where we taught all of our guitar lessons Tulsa. I credit music Academy until we just got too big and there was no space to teach them anymore. So we couldn't have two guitar lessons Tulsa going on at one time. We could only have one lesson going on at one time because there was only one person there, one does lesson room.
So it was really important that we've got a bigger space so we could move and expand and get more students at Curtis music Academy, but also just make it more convenient for our students who have multiple students. Like let's say they've got sip siblings. It's important for the parents to be able to come and send their kids and they can do it though us and at the same time, which is why it's really important to have two or three or four meeting rooms at the studio house, but we do have a studio space still available at Ronnie Kelly's house, so that one room we converted back into a studio room once we moved into the studio house, so we can't teach guitar lessons Tulsa out of that one as well.
So it's quite not, not quite as convenient. It is definitely an option if we happened to overbook ourselves, which sometimes happens just because we want to be really flexible and if this is the only time that a student is available, we would definitely make it work for them because our priorities definitely the goals and the needs of the student and not really us or our instructors. We want to make sure that we are as flexible as can be and give them the perfect time for their guitar lessons Tulsa so that they, feel like they are being treated fairly and have the time that works for them because we'd much rather cramped students or have a student at the other house as opposed to not to have, not keeping a student just because we didn't have space for them. So, but it's why we are looking for a new, bigger studio space.
One with even more rooms, more practice rooms, so we can have multiple guitar lessons Tulsa going on at one time without having to send them to the other studio location. But it is, really important that we have so many pianos. Especially because guitar, you can kind of play it anywhere. It's a little bit more flexible and where you can play. If you have a guitar, you can take it to the backyard, you can take it to any of an empty room. It doesn't have to have a piano in it. But one of the things is really important for us is that we have so many piano students and pianos are really hard to come by and they're also big and take up a lot of space.
You have to have a piano teaching piano student, so it has to be in a room that can support a piano and hold one. And it's not like you can just move it from place to place. So we do have several pianos at Curtis music Academy just to make sure that we have enough room for every single one of our students who wants to come and take guitar lessons Tulsa with us because we have so many of them and we want to make sure that we're able to accommodate them all at Curtis music Academy.

With 100 Million People Watching Vine Videos Every Month, Jason Mante Says Monetization Still Isn't The Focus
Matthew Lynley @mattlynley / 8 years
Twitter now owns Vine, which has a large, vibrant user base. And still, there are no plans to make money off of it just yet, Vine's head of user experience Jason Mante said on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt NY.
"Would we like to make money sometime? Sure, of course," Mante said. "With Vine we're focused on making sure we make an amazing product. We're just two years old — we're still pretty new. We want to improve the experience and make it amazing."
Mante said 100 million people watch Vine videos on mobile and on the web every month — a number Twitter threw out late last year. Twitter acquired Vine in 2012 when it didn't have a product yet.
Still, Mante said the goal was not to usurp TV, nor was Instagram a competitor. Vine intentionally set constraints on the app in order to "get rid of the things that get in the way of helping you tell a good story," Mante said. Vine has tools for cutting and splicing the video, while Instagram's video-capture tool has an extensive suite of tools for adding filters.
[gallery ids="1154221,1154220,1154218,1154213,1154208,1154207,1154204"]
Vine has also said it has more than 1 billion loops that are played every day — a metric Vine created that felt "natural" for the platform, Mante said. "There are some people who create content that viewers watch once or twice, or they're obsessed with it and they watch it over and over again."
Vine has built a vibrant network of creators that not only make videos for Vine, but also make money off those videos. Thanks to platforms like Niche, Vine stars are able to connect with brands and create sponsored content. Twitter acquired Niche earlier this year.
"We kind of think of ourselves as more of an entertainment network somewhere in between those two worlds," he said.

Inauguration of neo-fascism faces widespread revolt
The lightning move by Republicans in Congress to prepare to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or Obamacare—before Donald Trump even took office, with only the vaguest idea of what is to replace it, and with full knowledge that a large majority of Americans oppose the repeal of its most important provisions—gave a sign of how far the new single-party government intends to roll the clock back, with dizzying speed.

When you are despised for who you are, as those murdered by Elliot Rodger were—and women are not the only ones on a list that includes any differently sexed person, immigrants and all minorities but especially Blacks, people with disabilities, and that's only in the U.S.—then a revolution has to be more than an economic change, it even has to be more than "from each according to his or her ability, to each according to his or her need." Revolution has to be so deep and total that all human relationships are transformed. To do so, it must be total from the start…

Although many individuals administered anaesthetic agents in the decade 1835-1845, they were not widely publicised and did not impact on general medical practice. On 16 October 1846, at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the first public demonstration of ether anaesthesia took place.
The anaesthetist was William Morton and the surgeon was John Warren; the operation was the removal of a lump under the jaw of Gilbert Abbott. Present in the room was another surgeon, Jacob Bigelow, who wrote a letter to a friend in London which described the process. This letter was carried on the mailboat SS Arcadia, which docked in Liverpool in mid-December 1846.
On 19 December 1846 in both Dumfries and London, ether anaesthetics were given. Few details are available about the Dumfries anaesthetic, but it is believed that the patient had been run over by a cart and required an amputation of his leg; it is also believed that the patient died. In London, at 52 Gower Street, the home of an American botanist Francis Boott, a dentist named James Robinson removed a tooth of a Miss Lonsdale under ether anaesthesia. Two days later at University College Hospital, Robert Liston amputated the leg of a chauffeur, Frederick Churchill, while a medical student called William Squires gave an ether anaesthetic.
It is difficult to understand today how major this advance was. Before this, surgery was a terrifying last resort in a final attempt to save life. Few operations were possible. Surface surgery, amputation, fungating cancers and 'cutting for stone' (the removal of bladder stones) were really the only areas in which the surgeon could practice. The inside of the abdomen, chest and skull were essentially 'no go' areas. Speed was the only determinant of a successful surgeon. Most patients were held or strapped down - some would mercifully faint from their agony - many died either on the table or immediately post-surgery. The suffering was intense.
Liston, an eminent surgeon, was once operating for a bladder stone. The panic stricken patient finally broke loose from the brawny assistants, ran out of the room, down the hall and locked himself in the lavatory. Liston, hot on his heels and a determined man, broke down the door and carried the screaming patient back to complete the operative procedure (Rapier HR. Man against Pain London 1947;49).
A grimmer tale is told in the New York Herald, 21 July 1841, of an amputation:
'The case was an interesting one of a white swelling, for which the thigh was to be amputated. The patient was a youth of about fifteen, pale, thin but calm and firm. One Professor felt for the femoral artery, had the leg held up for a few moments to ensure the saving of blood, the compress part of the tourniquet was placed upon the artery and the leg held up by an assistant. The white swelling was fearful, frightful. A little wine was given to the lad; he was pale but resolute; his Father supported his head and left hand. A second Professor took the long, glittering knife, felt for the bone, thrust in the knife carefully but rapidly. The boy screamed terribly; the tears went down the Father's cheeks. The first cut from the inside was completed, and the bloody blade of the knife issued from the quivering wound, the blood flowed by the pint, the sight was sickening; the screams terrific; the operator calm'.
The introduction of anaesthesia changed all of this. Surgery could slow down - become more accurate and could move into 'forbidden areas' of abdomen, chest and brain. The evolution of surgical practice has been dependent on anaesthesia and the concomitant introduction of antisepsis through Lister's carbolic spray.
Once ether was used then further inhalational agents were introduced. Chloroform was introduced by the Professor of Obstetrics in Edinburgh, James Simpson, in November 1847. This was a more potent agent but it had more severe side effects. It could precipitate sudden death, particularly in very anxious patients (the first of these incidents happened in early 1848) and it also had the potential to cause late-onset and very severe liver damage. However, it worked well and was easier to use than ether and so, despite its drawbacks, became very popular. Over the next 40 years a large number of 'smelly agents' was introduced, each with perceived advantages, but few withstood the test of time. The next major advance was the introduction of local anaesthesia - cocaine - in 1877. Then came local infiltration, nerve blocks and then spinal and epidural anaesthesia, which in the 1900s allowed surgery in a relaxed abdomen without the huge 'depth' of anaesthesia required by ether and chloroform. Newer, less toxic, local anaesthetic agents were introduced in the early 1900s.
The next important innovation was the control of the airways with the use of tubes placed into the trachea. This permitted control of breathing and techniques introduced in the 1910s were perfected in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Then came the introduction of intravenous induction agents. These were barbiturates which enabled the patient to go off to sleep quickly, smoothly and pleasantly and therefore avoided any unpleasant inhalational agents. Then in the 1940s and early 1950s, there came the introduction of muscle relaxants, firstly with curare (the South American Indian poison!) and then over subsequent decades a whole series of other agents. Curare in the form of tubocurarine was first used in clinical anaesthesia in Montreal in 1943 by Dr Harold Griffith and first used in the UK in 1946 by Professor Gray in Liverpool. In the mid-1950s came halothane, a revolutionary inhalational agent, which was much easier to use. All of these groups of drugs have since been refined so there are now much more potent and less toxic intravenous agents, inhalational agents, local anaesthetics and muscle relaxants. Anaesthetists are now highly trained physicians who provide a whole range of care for patients - not just in the operating theatre. They are usually consulted in the preoperative period to optimise the patients' condition and they usually run High Dependency and Intensive Care Units. They are involved in obstetric analgesia and anaesthesia, emergency medicine in Accident and Emergency Departments, resuscitation, major accident care, acute and chronic pain management and patient transfers between hospitals.
Anaesthesia is now very safe, with mortality of less than 1 in 250,000 directly related to anaesthesia in most high income countries. Nevertheless, with today's sophisticated monitoring systems and a greater understanding of bodily functions, the anaesthetic profession will continue to strive for improvement over the next 150 years.

IT was a cracking Saturday for Mr Fixit with his Super Single, Top Treble and English both teams to score Treble all landing.
The man himself, currently on a short holiday in Berlin, will have enjoyed toasting his success with a nice cold Leffe or two. And when he's in this kind of form, maybe he should take every weekend off!
Greg Browning followed up his full-house Friday by delivering yet another winning Nap while Desmond Two 2s landed a 5-2 double and Scott Allot chipped in with a 6-1 European btts treble.
So it was a good day all round – and as usual plenty of site regulars contributed all manner of winners – so here's hoping for more of the same today.
With Mr Fixit away I'm filling in with some Sunday tips. It's a packed day of action and in the Premier League Arsenal head to Stoke looking to return to the top of the table.
Stoke are missing main man Xherdan Shaqiri but I'm struggling to call this one and the fact the Gunners haven't won on their last four visits to the Potteries is enough to convince me to swerve it. Same goes for the big Scottish Championship fixture of the day – Falkirk v Hibs, where any result wouldn't surprise me.
The other EPL game see Liverpool host Man United and both should score here after being involved in thrilling 3-3 draws in midweek. Liverpool's defending has been a comedy of errors recently but they have been decent in attack and can breach a United side who have often been dull as dishwater but still possess plenty of firepower.
I also like btts when Fiorentina – the only Serie A side to have netted in every game this season – travel to AC Milan. And I'm completing the treble with Lokeren v Standard Liege in Belgium. Lokeren have had seven successive games go btts and five of Liege's last six visits to Lokeren have seen both score.
For a single I can't see past goals in the battle of third v second in the Dutch top flight. Both Feyenoord and PSV are scoring for fun this season and six of their last seven meetings have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals.
Juventus should rack up a 10th straight Serie A win when they visit Udinese and Atletico Madrid look good to stay top of La Liga with victory at Las Palmas.
Real Madrid, in new boss Zinedine Zindane's second game in charge, can hammer home their superiority by winning both halves – a feat they've achieved in their last three home games – against a Gijon outfit who've lost seven of their last eight league outings.
Posted both of these earlier on yesterday evening.
Just a small interest tonight in Mexico and I'm taking this without team news. Last summer one of the strangest transfers for me was French international Andre-Pierre Gignac singing the Mexican side Tigres. It probably wasn't an easy move but he settled in well and ended up being their top scorer with 11 goals in the Apertura. He is too good to be playing in this league and with a loss for the Tigres in their opening Clasura game last weekend they'll be looking to get some points on the board at home where they score the majority of their goals.
Can't quite understand the price of BTTS at Anfield tomorrow after both sides have just played out 3-3 draws. Five of the last seven at Anfield have seen both score with four of Uniteds last five away from home seeing BTTS. Few of my mates have gone over to watch it but they're all home fans and there was no chance I was sitting with them haha. Penalty to be awarded @ 4/1 @ Betfair could be worth a schilling. Over 2.5 Goals a good price @ 129/100 @ Marathon Bet.
Not watching mate. NFL is on. Shame though!
Wellington Phonenix win&under 2.5 goals 5/1 6am Aussie league.
Newcastle Jets haven't managed to score in five, & Wellington have at least notched a cple of goals here & there in their last 5 & also they have a decent record away to Newcastle, so for small stakes its worth a go imo.
The "Hunch" Got "Punched" ?!
Atletico obviously come here favourites and should get the job done, but Las Palmas are in great goal scoring form netting 13 from their last 5 games! 6/4 looks too big of a price to say no to.
Haha I heard the cheers go on 365 and thought surely not, but saw him celebrating.
Haha love the Mexican commentators. They go wild.
Think he was still saying goallllllll when they kick off after the goal lol .. On to 2mo..lucky I didn't press that "cashout" button again like your double yday..haha..cheers mate..
Mate ..hit the post hit the bar miss a one on one…lol I thought he would never score!!?.cheers again mate..
Keep up the good work pal, I'll be looking for your future tips.
Oozmiesters Alloa v Morton was well on course to finish under 2.5 match goals, until the snow kicked in.
Abandoned after an hour despite the desperite efforts from the Alloa troops sent on to clear the lines, only to be met by the "circus tune" from the Morton boys.
They were actually still clearing the lines as the game was being played ?
Rooney (Aberdeen) 4/1 1st goal /. Rooney (Man Utd) 7/1 1st goal ". Penalty takers " it's a funny old game ' worth an interest ?
Hie guys, I'm back with my favourite banker CD Alaves home to Gimnastic (Spain Segunda Liga).
They hv been grinding out results mostly winning by an odd goal and for interest sake today I'll bet Under 1,5 FT.
Good luck to those who follow!
Carpi are stronger at home and Sampdoria's form has improved in recent games hopefully both can find the onion bag. Brags are a better team than Nacional however with BTTS coming in in the last 4 H2H's at those odds will take a punt. Nacional managed to net at home to Benfica. I watched Rio Avenue draw with Porto and they are not bad at all. Belenenses have conceded in every away game this season and I hope Rio Avenue can nick a couple.
Well done Mr F on ya tips. Good luck on yours Scott and good luck to all today.
I don't post tips normally just fancy one today.
Last five have been over 1.5 juve goals.
1 gl away on BTTS, 4fold and 2/3 yday on btts/win treble. NAP and NB up easily though. Will shove a BTTS treble on again today when get up and about but one bet that's too big for me is Ronney anytime scorer v Liverpool.
Horror day yesterday. 13 bets in total, 2 winners and 9!!! Being let down by 1 goal or 1 selection. Off to clear some snow from the street and do some research for today, post some tips later. Cant be as unlucky as yesterday surely??
… .it looks worthy it for me to be here. I'm watching the space.
Jordon good shout on mexico tip your having a good few days mate??
Cheers CC been a good run.
Looks solid Micky, Good luck mate ?
MATCH ON! This would not have been possible without the phenomenal support of our fans who worked tirelessly to clear the pitch. THANK YOU!
Well done to the Falkirk fans.
Hope they get a result to boot.
Not bad choices mate, I'm already on them with Feynoord trebles & fourfold ?
1 YC at HT. at least 7 YC in last 5 h2h at valencia.
poor valencia trail by a goal at halftime so it might be a bit nervy.
Hmmmm no Ozil today in hearing?
Stoke are REALLY tempting at 3.9 if that's the case. They are always up for a game against us.
Valleccano/Valencia BTTS just in. Now waiting for Ross County Aberdeen for my double.
won last min after a dissallowed goal around 84mins.
Gary Nev didn't look too happy with Rayo's second!!
RW Oberhausen travel to take on Marl Huls in their third friendly match of the winter break.
The game is being played at a neutral venue to Huls pitch being frozen over.
Oberhausen have won 13-2 and 3-0 in their previous two friendlies, beating FC Twente 3-0 lat week.
The 13-2 came against a 5th tier German side, where they played two seperate XIs in each half.
The interesting stat for today's game is Marl Huls latest friendly saw them losing 6-2 to Velbert, a team from Oberhausen's league, and a team that Oberhausen beat 4-1 when they last met.
Oberhausen don't have another friendly match lined-up for this week so are likely to go strong here today and should be easily bagging 3+ goals.
Bet365 are the only one offering this at present and go 1/3 for the Oberhausen win.
BET HERE IS O3,3.5 goal line for me.
Heard good things about your tips. Will you be on here regular now?
I must have missed this game today. What was the score?
Cheers mate, was on this, but unfortunately dbld it up with Liverpool game btts .. ?
But thanks anyway, I always look out 4 ur tips ?
IBV v Stjarnan…Over 2.5 goals in-play…6/4.
Great write-ups Scot – cheers and wd on winners from yourself and the others…some crackers from the site team yesterday.
Small bets on 3-2 scoreline both ways…40/1 and 33/1.
think you're caught in a time warp through there craig, EK ye mean surely…………..
apologies craig a was thinking of EK v hutchy vale……………..
I don't mind going to the bookies tomorrow to top-up. Come on Liverpool!! And make it an excellent Sunday.
Think every time I've bet on Ajax, PSV or feyenord this season they have let me down.
that's it for me today, GL all with a bet on………….
Afternoon all. My usual double to start off today.
Ha Ha Yeah mate will need to remind you on the night before the matches.
@stubhoy yeah gimmie a little a reminder next time mate when something like that looks good..had a solo go on a treble midweek premier league had the man city game, Tottenham game and I stupidly added Chelsea too..and Chelsea gets a corner 10mins 15secs..bloody ell..
Real Madrid over 5.5 goals 10/11 running riot!!???
Well, I thought Madrid Over 3.5 Team Goals was a bit short ?
My Besiktas goals I posted last night @ EVS are now best @ 3/4.
Jordan,took your Besiktas 2.5 goals along with Madrid 3.5 goals….Just waiting now for a winning Turkish team….Cheers mate.
geezo oh 4-0 17 mins lol……….
Madrid could get 10 here!
? so EVS isn't 50/50 but 5/6 is???? End the conversation here mate you're not getting a congrats from me for an assumption on a BTTS market. I wasn't the only one to post it too. Like I said, you wouldn't have said anything if both teams scored.
Luke, if you don't use oddschecker don't make assumptions mate because BTTS went off @ EVS at ONE bookie with odds one everywhere else. It's irrelevant. You sound like Harpreet mate. End it there.
You know the saying. Hindsight is 20/20.
Alrite mate. I'm not the one getting hyped up ha ha. U asked yday if anyone thought evens was to good for btts. I replied bout rite coz should be low scoring. And ur getting hump coz i said i was rite. Ur team won so enjoy. Harpreet lol. I wasn't one of the ones that would get in silly arguments with him. Btw 50/50 is 5/6…5/6. Bookies can't give both as evens. And I've always admitted when I'm wrong on here. No shame in it mate!! Hope I am wrong which I always say when lot of the boys on ere r on it. Gotta lot respect for u on ere Jordan so don't take me wrong way. Advice was asked and I gave u mine. I wasn't gloating. I honestly would rather money was won on ere. But like said ur team won so stil.
Odds massively dropped since the Ozil team news was announced.
Next Sunday Madrid are away to Betis – who they have beaten 5-0 in their last 2 games. Eibar put 4 past Betis this month at Betis.
Not to be dude. The Rooney 1St goal single pays for the day though.
no probs bud. ive propper romped it this week well happy.
Well done to Luke who made the amazing assumption of both teams not to score and pointed it out to us 70+ minutes into the game at 0-0 after Liverpool had ran us riot for most of the game. Is that what you wanted? ?
Nothing would put me off thinking my own team can score and concede in a big derby. Come on now. No more hindsight please.
Also, I wasn't the only one to post goals or BTTS (in the main thread tips) so you shouldn't have tagged me in your hindsight post, when if both teams had scored in the first half, you wouldn't have said anything. End of story.
Luke, you causing trouble again.
Unlucky Jordan with the btts.
At least you stick your neck out and put your tips out before the game starts bud.
LIVERPOOL V UTD…loads of goals predicted by myself. Called it completely wrong and unremarkably, bets lost.
Well done any Rooney backers.
Hoping to recoup some on the Real game…went 2+ goals in both halves at 2/1 so another couple would go down a treat.
Can't believe after that first half, RM look like they won't win the 2nd half.
Loads of punters screwed today after RM and Juve stopped scoring after going 4 and 5 nil up.
another small profit today, WD all with winners……….
Herrera is back and starting who didn't feature in their loss last week. Herrera, Britos, Sosa and Martinez are all capable of goals and they are much better at home. Over 2.5 Goals seems likely but I am yet to see Tolucas line up.
Oh mate he went off the shizzzleeeeee haha..one more mate..cover was only 5/4 again for under no point let it runnnn ..haha ?
Just had a look at Besiktas' twitter for the line up and their pitch is covered in snow. In Turkey? Didn't think that was possible. Full strength line up though so hoping Mersin catch a cold.
Rio Avenue > 1.5 TGS LOST … Belenenses did concede as they have in every away game this season … unfortunately just the once … gawd knows what the odd on them scoring twice were!!
had a look at tomorrows games – Fenerbache and Olympiaocs 2+ TGS has a chance. Eibar should score and also fancy Setabul to score at Boavista …..
Waiting on St. Etienne v Lyon BTTS NO draw later for a 6 fold.
Is there any guaranteed cover that I can use.
Selections were permed any 4,5, and 6.
Thank you Kelly. Cracking tipster.
Game off in Turkey by the looks of things with 5 minutes played.
Well folks, the Super League match between Beşiktaş and Mersin İY is cancelled due to heavy snow!
thanks Jordan …. didn't look great … a sliding tackle finalised the refs mind!!
1.6/1 b365 which has better cash outs.
you think this will happen even with the red card?
Not sure on what will happen with the Besiktas bet, haven't spoken to 888.
Nice one @jordan was on as always. If it helps 365 have voided the besiktas bet so imagine 888 will do the same?
Not sure mate, think they are US based. I'll get onto them later tonight after the NFL.
Cheers guys. Looking at the next game that kicks off at 11 but will wait for team news. Could be another one for home or match goals.
Didn't exactly follow you tip … took BTTS and Overs 6/5 after looking at the H2Hs and you comments about > 2.5 MGS … would never have spotted the game so thanks!!
If you'd have asked me a few years back about games in Costa Rica, I'd have thought you were off your rocker.
Funny how things (and betting patterns) change and aside from Bolivia, I'd say Costa Rica was the most succesful of the SA leagues to bet on last season.
5th plays 4th on last season's standings and Cartagines start strong favourites whilst carrying the hoodoo over Limon in recent outings. H2H's have been crackers between the two with the last 5 being; 3-1…2-2…7-2…1-0 and 4-2.
Goals should be on the menu again and despite the home sides favouritism, I fancy Limon will sneak one too.
Good luck if you have a go.
Hull, can't recall how long you've been here but Shaun Tanner used to love the Costa Rican games but I never got into it. I know Saprissa, Alajuelense and Herediano are the big boys though and that is it a good league for goals.
Going into this blind but btts in that game is 21/20 on coral. Looks good.
Both teams to score in the first half is 4/1.
Going to have a small bet in first half btts.
@theluckfilipino Boooom Easy as pie haha Yeah will remind you next week for sure mate.
Barcelona Over 5.5 MATCH Goals…..9/2…….Why not !!!!!!!!!!!
@nazalus looking very good mate .u got great odds on it..can defo see another 3 coming in.have a little dab on it too but got it on 6/4 at 3-0..
Would be rude not to lol .
Messi Hatrick…….17/2……..Another rude not to.
Well done @stubhoy must have got u sweating lol..9 mins 35secs..brilliant double..?
hull if yer on, bookies showing Bolivia starts tonite but flashscore not showing any games can you shed any light? as far as I can see season doesn't start again till 23rd tar…………..
Doesn't start til next week mate but noticed 365 had them up midweek for this weekend…weird?
aye hull looked again 23rd an 24th rite enuff wh 365 and pp all have games listed for tonite strange……….
Mine was crapper than yours ??
Evening Jordan – yep, remember S T's posts just but think he stopped posting around the time I started.
Saprissa in action later on and might have a look at their game if have time. Cracking stuff over in Mexico pal. Also see your having a stormer Hampy ?
Looking good barring 4 goals in the Lyon game in the second half!
@nazalas thanks for the over 5.5 Barca goals tip mate .."would b rude not to" haha ..lovely jovely..?
Not fussed mate it'll either be voided or ran on to when the game is rescheduled.
Hills voided it Jordan,so i got paid a single.
Well that went horribly wrong.
Sorry for anyone following – 2 1st half red cards obviously didn't help matters but even so Cartagines should have nailed it.
2 red cards and just the 1 goal in the 1st half over in Costa Rica.
Over 1.5 1st half goals 13/8…lost.
Cartagines should beast 9 man Limon in the second half and some good prices. Over 3.5 now 3/1 and 4.5 10/1.
Can't find any streams for this so no funny commentary to enjoy if goals fly in..have to wait for the cheers on the bet 365 app instead lol..little Dab on over 3.5 hull.. 9/4 now..
Bizarre stuff. I'm not even giving up on btts. Just put a quid on limon to score next at 18/1. Hopefully something totally ridiculous happens. That said two more goals will mire than do.
Porto Over 1.5 tg inplay 6/4…..2nd half just started.
porto on the naughty list turned a day with profit into a slight loss, that's gambling but………….
A bit iffy about this one but can't decide between the team goals or match goals as Puebla have lost their best scorer from last year. Monterrey weren't great on the road last season but they can score with some good players up top in Mori, Pabon and Cardona who all start. Maybe safer to take Over 2.5 Match Goals but I'll risk it.
No NBA yet, maybe later.
Cool mate..will keep a eye out gonna watch the rest of this Mexican game now .?
Not watching it mate. Mori I see. Ex River Plate player. Good striker and still fairly young.
They got some good players there mate..even that Sanchez dude he use to be in river plate..it's looking good mate.they been attacking and attacking constantly ..hopefully more joy in the 2nd half..gonna pop a San Miguel now before the match restarts haha ?
Brings up the 'safer' Over 2.5 Match Goals too.
@jordan take a bow sir take a motherf***king bow lol…ur Mexican tipping has been on point this weekend!!!what a tip!!!thank you mate!!! Sanchez the ex river plate msn!!haha!⚽⚽ Goallllllll!!!
We still doing that Buy a beer option on the site?haha…???
Haha I'll give you my sort code and account number mate ? Just kidding.
??? Swear I seen someone do that on here before and they got told off lol….if admin allows it go ahead Hahaha ??
I've never seen that but I have seen somebody asking if they can 'borrow' some money ?
I'd never ask for money off of a free site mate. Plus I don't class myself as a tipster like some who have been on this site and gone on to pastures new and are now the best tipsters in the world ???
