I'm assuming it's for the VP ticket? That's probably a main reason why Kasich is still around.

In addition to my FAFSA loans and and barely above minimum wage student bookstore job; poker was a good source of extra income during college. Hell I even wrote off my collection of poker book and videos on my taxes. Profits definitely skyrocketed when I no longer had to drive to the Indian casino (Cache Creek) and could grind quad (eventually nine) tables at a quicker pace. Increased quantity of hands per hour allowed me to play at lower stakes with decreased variance, thus more stabilized income. Still had bad runs here and there, but definitely a strong net positive. Considered taking it more seriously after college, but then I got a "real" job. Online poker was re-legalized in NJ yesterday. Still waiting on California, then Leferd's back, baby!

Basics of Card Counting with Six Decks. For any 10's to Aces, count -1 For any card 2 to 6, count +1 7 to 9 are neutral. -It's easier if you count in pairs or quads. Keep your bets small until your count is in the double digits. Or ...use the "Wonging" strategy: However, some casinos will have continuous shuffling machines and automated safeguards/countermeasures --in addition to observant camera monitors and pit bosses to foil card counters.

I know I made it as a degenerate gambler when I first received my VIP pass card -including getting comped at the Bellagio buffet. Many blessings from the Great Eyes in the Skies and His prophets, the Pitbosses on the floor!

Why do people watch/love "Let's play..." videos?
Leferd replied to Heijoushin's topic in Computer and Console
we would rather french kiss a light socket than watch some yutz play a video game. ... have somebody who looked like stephanie seymour circa the 1990 sports illustrated swimsuit issue host the "let's play" and we might be momentarily curious... 'cause Gromnir IS a guy. however, once ms. seymour's lookalike actual started playing the game in question, am certain we couldn't maintain interest for long. HA! Good Fun!

Should we expect to see additional balance balance and gameplay tweaks/overhauls in future patches, or just bug fixes?

1992 Rodney King riots in L.A. Spring to mind. Koreatown. -
I think that speaks more about the paranoia of the these people than about the Republican Party.

I enjoyed the first season of B5, but it was the weakest. Still it was a good setup and gives the lay of the "land" so to speak.

I can't disagree with you more. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Now I don't necessarily have a problem with federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies obtaining a search warrant with a federal judge based on a specifically outlined probably cause; but the idea of mass surveillance of the general citizenry or introducing a backdoor to break encryption with the understanding that it'll only be used this one time and that no one else will ever have access, or can steal, or hack into the software, pretty please you can trust us; is a bit naive. I'll be honest this is exactly the response I thought you were going to post, its very reasonable and its similar to the concerns I have seen posted by other people who like us I would consider are liberals and support the whole Obama legacy..so this is one example where we disagree on this type of government initiative. And I think its because of where we live So it seems your objection to the likes of Prism is not based on real examples of abuse of the system but rather on the concept of the potential of abuse? In other words can you give me some examples of how people have been illegally detained due to Prism? And I'm not trying to catch you out but this does seem to be the general criticism of Federal ideas like this whole Apple request..." no we are not going to help the Federal government out by providing a backdoor because of the possible problems we may face in the future" ...you see its just a general fear mongering tactic that immediately galvanizes support from many Americans who don't like the idea that the government can now read your emails ...if you are connected to terrorism'. So of course there may be some instances of perhaps misconduct but I don't think its naive at all to suggest that the likes of the NSA can manage a system like Prism without us assuming there will be egregious abuses, you need to have more faith in the abilities and integrity of people who work there In the rest of the world governments make changes to laws like the Apple event because of real terrorist attacks...so you guys in the USA have the luxury to object to certain laws based on a possible outcome Bruce, I actually don't have a fundamental mistrust of the NSA, CIA, FBI, or any other three letter acronym agency. I like the USA and I like the federal government. But yes, misuse and abuse of law enforcement and intelligence databases is a not so uncommon an occurrence as you assume it is. Sure, most of it is minor and there are very few serious abuses, but they do, and will continue to happen, no matter how innocuous. That's why there are internal Offices of the Inspector General, Internal Affairs, etc., to monitor and investigate abuses. Most of these violations are handled internally and appropriate action is taken against the offending party. Nevertheless, it's precisely because of this potential for more serious abuse, and the likelihood for information and technology to be leaked or hacked that gives pause and worry. Also, I take the Fourth Amendment very seriously and as such, it is not the role of the government to be Big Brother, because...TERRORISM. This is the rule of law and the belief of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is part of the inexorable spirit of what is an essential American characteristic. I may disagree with some of our more libertarian voices here on many issues concerning the role of Government, the FBI, the Second Amendment, and the Post Office, but there are also cases where I will disagree with Uncle Sam. What Gromnir wrote is very relevant. Generally speaking they do a great job, and for the most part --don't deserve the blind cynicism and vitriol some of us direct their way. However, the U.S. Government is not infallible. They make mistakes. Repeatedly. Security over liberty is one of them. Fear of terrorism should never give cause to the infringement of our fundamental rights to liberty and privacy. It's un-American.

LeBron can still play good D when he wants to, but not nearly consistentl enough to be on my All Defense Team. And especially not when the guys he's picking up are shooting better than 51% on him.
-
I watch plenty of games. And what I see is Lebron completely coasting on defense to the point that one of the reasons Blatt was fired was because of teammate resentment that he didn't call out LBJ for not playing D.
-
Ok. Draymond Green and Kawhi Leonard roughly play the same position as LeBron and they regularly defends the best players -whether bigs, wings, or guards. By reputation, they are the two best defenders in the league. Draymond's Defensive FG% is 42.9% Kawhi is at 43.1% Some others with stellar defensive reputations: Bogut 42.2% Duncan 46.1% Ibaka 42.4% Context matters and however you look at it, Lebron is getting burned defensively.
