Lake Erie Sunset, 16 x 12, Original Watercolor
In the summer of 2019 I rented an Air B and B in Conneaut, OH for my family and I. It was at the end of a dead end street, and the view was of Lake Erie. The back patio was were you could find me each morning and any evening we weren't out and about. I love the sounds of the waves and watched the birds patrol for their meals.
The sunset colors were painted wet into wet. Once they were dry, I could add the neighbor's trees. I loved the pattern of the trunks and leaves.
This is an original watercolor painting. Professional watercolor pigments were used on Arches 140 lb paper.
No reproductions are permitted.
I am happy to produce commissions that will allow you to choose colors, size, etc.

When most people think of a surgeon, they do not imagine a man putting together a unique cigar box guitar. However, that is exactly who Kirk Withrow is.
A patient with a sinus infection introduced him to the instrument during his residency at the University of Alabama Birmingham about 11 years ago and gave him his cigar box guitar. He’s been hooked ever since.
In the past decade, he has created dozens of cigar box guitars, most of them 3-string, acoustic and electric, though the latter takes more time, he says. He has recorded albums and occasionally plays shows and festivals, though he claims he’s not that great and reckons the appeal lies in watching some guy a play homemade instrument.
Cigar box guitars and fiddles, along with other homemade instruments, such as jugs and washboards, figured heavily in the rise of American jug bands and blues in the early 20th century, since most performers could not afford manufactured instruments. The Great Depression continued the trend when manufactured instruments were beyond the means of most, but cigar boxes, broom handles and a few wires from the screen door were available to mostly everyone.
The modern revival is a likely tangent of the DIY culture, especially among fans of Delta blues and Appalachian music, which evoke a tinny sound that comes through on acoustic cigar box guitars. Online communities such as Cigar Box Nation host discussions among enthusiasts, whose passion extends to other homemade instruments such as ukeleles, diddley bows, mandolins, even violins.

Lynnderella Mondays: I ♥ Shoppink, You Make Me Blush, Always My Alice, A Certain Shade Of Shade, Always RED and Copper Lazuli Swatches & Review
Hi guys! Who caught the season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead last night? I won’t post any spoilers here but OH. MY. GOSH. So awful. Talk in the comments if you want to discuss. If you haven’t seen it, don’t look at the comments! But onto the polish! Today I have some new Lynnderellas to share with you! Take a look!
I ♥ Shoppink has a semi-sheer pearly white base with holographic microglitter and strong pink sheen. Like the underside of a shell. Lovely. 2 coats.
You Make Me Blush is a muted neon pink with a strong pearly gold shimmer and holographic microglitter. Gorgeous and Springy! 2 coats.
Always My Alice has a bright orange-pink jelly base with pink shimmer and golden flakies. A great way to end the Summer season with this bright beauty. 2 coats.
A Certain Shade Of Shade has an inky navy creme base with tons of blue and pink shimmer. It’s a definite one-coater but I did 2. Really nice formula.
Always RED has warm red holographic microglitter with sparse blue shimmer in a clear base. Love this sweet warm red. It’ll be so perfect when Valentine’s Day rolls around. 2 coats.
Copper Lazuli has a sheer royal blue base with lots of blue shimmer that give it metallic feel and loads of copper microglitter bits. It looks like it’ll be more purple in the bottle but I found it coming off much more blue toned on the nail. So pretty! I did 2 coats.
Lynnderella has introduced a brand new website! Check it out here! They will continue to sell their polishes on eBay but this is another avenue to buy the pretty polishes! Some of the limited edition polishes will even be available at a price point on the new site! Very cool!

3 of the MPs were on his own 140mph serve. The little graphical generated figure genuinely choked them all away when I had all but given up.
First time I've ever won/lost a set from MP down/up. Nearly did it against Berlocq a few tournaments previous (he moonballs like crazy, completely ruined my usual game, had to moonball back and every flat power shot was a gamble). Third set, 4-5 down, serving to stay in it, I saved 4 MPs and had 3 game points before finally getting broken.
2-6, 4-5, 0-40 down. Saved 4MPs in the tie-break. Came back to win. Had 6MPs on his serve, he had several game points. Crazy game. 7MPs saved. Wow.


Notes: I bake by weights. Flour can vary depending on the humidity. For liquid, even heavy cream, I use 1ml equals 1 gram. On the dough I keep adding flour till it is not sticking to the sides of the bowl, it is still a well hydrated dough and will look sticky on the bottom
FOR THE DOUGH:
· ½ cup/118 milliliters whole milk
· 1 package (1/4 ounce/7 grams) active dry yeast
· ⅓ cup/67 grams granulated sugar, plus a pinch
· 4 ¼ cups/531 grams all-purpose flour, more as needed
· 1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional)
· ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
· 4 large eggs lightly beaten
· 10 tablespoons/140 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing bowls and pans (note I may try melting the butter which is something I do for my pretzels).
FOR THE FUDGE FILLING:
· ½ cup/100 grams granulated sugar
· ¾ cup/177 milliliters heavy cream or half-and-half
· Pinch kosher salt
· 6 ounces/170 grams extra bittersweet chocolate, preferably between 66 and 74 percent cocoa, coarsely chopped.
o Last time I made this I used 4 oz of Ghirardelli Bittersweet 60% cocoa and 2 oz Theo Pure 85% Dark Chocolate (based on hitting two supermarkets ☹) It worked well
· 8 tablespoons/112 grams/1 stick unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature
· 2 teaspoons/10 milliliters vanilla extract
FOR THE CHOCOLATE STREUSEL:
· ½ cup/60 grams all-purpose flour
· 3 tablespoons/45 grams granulated sugar
· 1 ½ tablespoons/11 grams cocoa powder
· ½ teaspoon kosher salt
· 4 ½ tablespoons/64 grams unsalted butter, melted
· ⅓ cup/60 grams semisweet chocolate chips
FOR THE SYRUP:
· ⅔ cup/135 grams granulated sugar
· ⅔ cup/158 milliliters water.
Prepare the dough:
· In a small saucepan or a bowl in the microwave, warm the milk until it’s lukewarm but not hot (about 110 degrees). Add yeast and a pinch of sugar and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, until slightly foamy.
· In an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, or in a food processor, mix together flour, 1/3 cup sugar, the salt, the vanilla, the lemon zest (if using) and the nutmeg. (If you don't have a mixer or processor, use a large bowl and a wooden spoon.) Beat or process in the yeast mixture and eggs until the dough comes together in a soft mass, about 2 minutes. If the dough sticks to the side of the bowl and doesn’t come together, add a tablespoon more flour at a time until it does, beating very well in between additions.
o Note for Kitchen-Aid, no higher than 2 for speed. I destroyed mine on the first time I made this. I did not destroy the replacement the second time I made it.
· Add half the butter and beat or pulse until the dough is smooth and elastic, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed. Beat in the rest of the butter and continue to beat or pulse until the dough is smooth and stretchy, another 5 to 7 minutes. Again, if the dough sticks to the sides of the bowl, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
· Butter a clean bowl, form the dough into a ball and roll it around in the bowl so all sides are buttered. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place (inside of a turned-off oven with the oven light on is good) until it puffs and rises, about 1 to 2 hours. It may not double in bulk but it should rise.
· Press the dough down with your hands, re-cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight (or, in a pinch, for at least 4 hours, but the flavor won't be as developed).
o Last time I did the 4 hours as I was only given 24 hours warning. It was fine.
Prepare the filling:
· In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cream and salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Scrape mixture into a bowl. Stir in chocolate, butter and vanilla until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. Filling can be made up to a week ahead and stored, covered, in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before using (I wonder if cold will make it thicker for the rolling).
Prepare the streusel:
· In a bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Stir in melted butter until it is evenly distributed and forms large, moist crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips. Streusel can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and stored, covered, in the fridge.
Prepare the syrup (done while baking the loafs):
· In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 2/3 cup/158 milliliters water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
Rest of Prep
· Butter two 9-inch loaf pans, then line with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches of paper hanging over on the sides to use as handles later. (I am not sure why the pans need grease as the paper lines the whole pan)
· Remove dough from refrigerator and divide in half. On a floured surface, roll one piece into a 9-by-17-inch rectangle. Spread with half the filling. Because the filling is very soft, I have found spread to the short edges but on the long edges, on the edge the roll will start, leave a quarter inch to the boarder and leave 1 inch on the other long boarder. The filling will not stay completely in place and when you finish rolling, it is pushed to or past the outside edge. I may start to experiment with making the filling more viscous so that it will not move on the roll. Starting with a long side, roll into a tight coil. Transfer the coil onto a dish towel or piece of plastic wrap and stick it in the freezer (fridge will work if no room in freezer) for 10 minutes. Repeat with the other piece of dough.
· Slice one of the dough coils in half lengthwise to expose the filling. Twist the halves together as if you were braiding them, then fold the braid in half so it’s about 9 inches long. Place into a prepared pan, letting it curl around itself if it’s a little too long for the pan. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until puffy (it won’t quite double). Alternatively, you can cover the pans with plastic wrap and let them rise in the refrigerator overnight; bring them back to room temperature for an hour before baking.
· When you're ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Use your fingers to clump streusel together and scatter all over the tops of the cakes. Transfer to oven and bake until a tester goes into the cakes without any rubbery resistance and comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. The cakes will also sound hollow if you unmold them and tap on the bottom. An instant-read thermometer will read between 185 and 210 degrees.
· As soon as the cakes come out of the oven, use a skewer or paring knife to pierce them all over going all the way to the bottom of the cakes, and then pour the syrup on top of the cakes, making sure to use half the syrup for each cake.
· Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.


Stephanie The Corporate Computer Babe Makes (Or Tries To) Mario Cupcakes [PICS]
There's probably a reason I'm called Stephanie the Corporate Computer Babe and not Stephanie the Corporate Cupcake Baker. I got the urge to be all domestic this weekend and get my bake (and nerd) on by making Super Mario cupcakes. Seemed easy enough. I think it's safe to say that THIS woman's place isn't in the kitchen, but behind a computer or in a video game chair. Check out me trying my hand at being a domestic goddess below:
Just for a frame of reference, this is kinda how I wanted my cupcakes to look. Being a huge fan of all things Mario (Except Mario Bros. 2 because that junk should have never been allowed to happen) I thought it would be fun to make. I didn't expect mine to come out as good as these, but I was hoping they'd look better than something decorated by a blind elephant.
Okay, so technically step one was preheating the oven and breaking some eggs and then fishing out all the pieces of shell that fell from said eggs into the batter, but what do you think this is, an effing recipe site? Everyone poses for goofy photos pretending to eat batter when making cupcakes, right?
Somehow it looks nothing like the picture. Decorating is some serious business, you guys. I think Martha Stewart is a witch!
If Lance Armstrong can ride a bike with only one nut, I can make a cupcake that looks like a grownup decorated it, dammit!
Take that, 'Cupcake Wars!'
... because it's something she'll probably never do again. Now, someone order me a pizza!

Extended Set - Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set.
Facsimile Autograph - a simulated autograph printed on a card designed to show what the player’s actual signature looks like. These are NOT the player’s "real" autograph.
Factory Set - a complete set in a special box and wrapped with a protective covering produced by the manufacturer, usually with a unique seal and sold directly to dealers or card shop owners and not available through the usual retail outlets.
Grade - the physical condition assigned to a card, either by a price guide, or through the assessment made by sellers.
Graded Card - a card which has been assessed for condition by an independent source and given a ranking, with 10 being the best. The card is then placed in a hermetically-sealed plastic holder with the grade designation and player name, card company, card number, and serial number printed on the encasement.
1991 Topps Desert ShieldThe 792 card 1991 Topps Desert Shield Baseball card set was issued by Topps for the soldiers serving in the Gulf War. The Desert Shield set is a variation of Topps regular 1991 baseball card with each card having a special gold-foiled 'Desert Shield' stamp added to the front. Many of the cards, scooped up by military personnel stateside, never made it overseas. The equivalent of approx 6,500 sets of cards were made. Cards are still sought after and fairly scarce with complete sets nearly impossible to find. Be aware of counterfeits. Fakes can easily be determined by comparing the gold foil logo with a real Desert Shield card.
The Chipper Jones rookie is the key card in the set along with the usual super stars like Nolan Ryan, Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripken ...
1991 Cardboard Dreams Baseball Cards
Auction's most costly vintage baseball cards
The auction history of vintage baseball cards is long and colorful.
The 1909-1911 T-206 Honus Wagner tobacco card has been auctioned
reaching as high as 2.8 million in one auction.
Often called the "Holy Grail of Sports Cards", to me it's
super-high auction value can mostly be attributed to good PR and
"auction fever". It is not even close to being the rarest baseball
card and Honus Wagner was not the most popular or important player.
Yes, the T-206 set is beautiful and special in it's own right but because
of it's huge size and many scarcities, it is not one many collector's
ever try to complete, which should keep auction competition way down
compared to say the 1933 Goudey or 1952 Topps baseball card issues.
There is a back story about Wagner banning his card because of his anti-tobacco stance but there are other stories about a more financial consideration.
I am sure you have all heard of the grading company PSA. You may also already have heard that this card was the FIRST card graded by PSA. But did you know that a dealer (B... .a...o) admitted in court to tampering with the card, perhaps by trimming it down to size, before PSA graded it so highly before it was placed in the auction ?
1962 Topps Football BucksThe 1962 Topps Football Bucks resembled U.S. currency and measured 1 1/4" x 4 1/4". But ... instead of Abe Lincoln staring at you, it could be Fran Tarkenton !!!
Drawings of the player's home parks along with brief write-ups appeared on the front. The backs included team and league logos. Printing was done with black and green ink on off-white (very thin) paper stock. Bucks are typically found with a fold crease in the middle as they were inserted in packs in that manner.
The 1962 Topps Bucks were inserts in wax packs of the 1962 Topps regular issue football cards. Player selection was super and the featured ROOKIES of Fran Tarkenton and Mike Ditka !!! Also numerous other Hall-of-Famers including JIM BROWN, BART STARR, Y.A. Tittle, Johnny Unitas, Lou Groza and other greats !!!

To really enjoy the game of basketball, you need to have some basic knowledge of how the game is played. Don’t know the score? Don’t worry. Basketball is not the easiest game to learn but you can do it. Continue reading to find ways to up your game skills.
Make sure you dribble properly by keeping your head held up, facing forward. Anyone who watching the ball while they dribble surely needs to spend more time in the gym practicing. Make the basketball an extension of your body, taking it wherever you are. Dribble on your way to school. Paying attention to the ball means you’re not paying attention to the rest of the game.
If you wish to do better with basketball, you have to focus on what you’re good at. Your talent might not make you a star; however, learning your strengths will help you become a better team player. Find you best position and then refine it until you are unbeatable.
Free throws have a huge mental element to them. You can train your body to complete the motions of making a free throw, but if you are mentally prepared to fail, you will. Relax yourself and concentrate on your shot.
Practice the skill of pass catching. Don’t just work on waist-level, perfect passes, though, work on receiving tougher passes as well. During the course of a game, you can expect there to be many errant passes. You can do the rest of your team a favor by practicing how you can best complete imperfect passes.
Never practice only against the zone. Usually, a big part of the game is probably going to be in zone; however, the opposing team can suddenly switch to man-to-man to catch you off guard. You might lose your control of the court if the other team use this technique, unless you are ready for this possibility.
Make sure, no matter what else happens, you can see where the ball is. This helps keep you aware of the action, and it takes away the surprise factor. Also, keep your eyes on areas that open up on the court for an easy basket.
To get better at shooting free throws, make sure to keep a consistent pre-shot routine. This can include the number of times you dribble, how you position your feet, or anything else. As long as it’s quick, using a consistent routine can help your body retain the memory to make those shots after your “ritual.”
If an opponent is staying with you, try passing the ball between your legs. You can practice this technique by stepping forward or backward and bouncing the ball with force between your legs. If you can master this move, it will give you quite the advantage when you are on the court.
Your routines must be consistent for free throws. If you aren’t consistent, you won’t make the basket. The best way to perfect your free throw shooting technique is through repetition by practicing the same routine over and over again. You will probably miss your shot if the routine you use is not perfect.
Being a good defensive player means disrupting the game of your opponent. Force them into an uncomfortable zone. Always move aggressively as they try to maneuver around you. Keep them from deciding what moves to make. The more aggressively smart team is usually the one who wins. Instead, disrupt their rhythm by making the first move.
Be certain you are able to see well. While it will allow you to catch passes and read the score, there is more to it than that. Peripheral vision is important during game play. This will help you see the whole game better and anticipate openings and defense players.
Take charge when the opportunity presents itself. By taking a charge, your team will get the ball. This can throw off the opposing team and mess up their rhythm.
Alternating your pace is critical to keeping the defense guessing. Try to block the net by planting your foot hard. The guard will assume you are reducing speed and will do the same. When they do this, push yourself forward and take the chance to run by them.
That was a lot easier than you thought it would be, wasn’t it! With all that you’ve now read about basketball, you really can see that it’s an amazing sport. Use these tips to master the game and have more fun.

A recent Loetz addition is one of my newest favorites, a Loetz ‘Vulkan’ vase, in quite a good size, measuring 6-1/2” (16.5cm) in diameter by 5” (12.7cm) tall. This vase came to me from The Netherlands, and has a beautiful soft iridescence. The Vulkan décor is described on Loetz.com as having a ‘greenish ground with spreading brown-violet inner casing’ and dates to 1902. It was made exclusively for E. Bakalowits Söhne, a retailer located in Vienna, Austria. I believe I have found the paper pattern for this vase, PN 85/4006. The bottom of the vase appears to be clear to me rather than greenish, but I am sure this varies from vase to vase depending on the glass thickness.


Handmade French Christmas Postcard Ornaments
Creating French Christmas postcard ornaments form leftover fabric scraps.
These little ornaments were made by printing a french Christmas postcard image directly onto fabric with my printer. I ironed a piece of freezer paper onto my piece of fabric and then cut it to an 8.5"x11" size and placed it in the paper tray of my printer. Make sure the fabric side is facing the correct way so that it prints onto the fabric and not the freezer paper.
Once the images were printed onto the fabric, I trimmed them to postcard size. I also cut pieces of red ticking and tan ticking fabric the same size, to use as backing for the ornaments.
I also cut batting a little smaller than the fabric pieces to use as filler inside of the ornaments.
Before sewing the ornaments together, I added a piece of twine as a hanger.
Lastly, the ornaments were sewn together around the edge. You could also use an iron on adhesive between the fabrics if you do not sew.
Here are close ups of the fronts

Late-night trips to the bathroom take on a whole new dimension when you're carrying a can of bear spray. Gripping this favorite new accessory in my right hand and sporting my newly acquired headlamp, I crooned "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" as I walked to alert any large mammals that might be lingering nearby. Two of them heard me – journalists, not bears – and they gratefully scooted out of their tents to join the chilly march to the facilities.
Back in my toasty cocoon, I slept soundly and woke to the sound of tent zippers opening and birds chirping. And Claudia – she is the culinary goddess Subaru brought along to ensure our bellies were filled with enough divine campout cuisine to survive the elements. (Think warm Gorgonzola and pears for starters.)
Our itinerary for the day included a walkaround tour of the new Subaru Outback and a scenic drive up to the nearby Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. While I looked forward to putting the legendary Subaru All-Wheel Drive capability to the test, my very real fear of heights began to gnaw at my newfound "mountain mama" bravado.
Our caravan of Subaru vehicles followed a loose stone and dirt road that wound around the mountain through stunning Douglas firs and blue sagebrush. Almost as if on cue, a majestic family of mule deer appeared on an outcrop. As the incline grew steeper and the road more narrow, my sweaty palms gripped the wheel, and I fought off a potentially embarrassing panic attack.
Lucky for me, the Subaru remained steadfast and true, gripping the rocky terrain like glue and giving my confidence the boost it so desperately needed. The ease with which the Subaru handled that rough trek up the mountain dashed away all fear, and, right there in that driver's seat, a backcountry adventurer was born. I drove a little faster, engaged tighter turns, and threw in some hard stops to test the anti-lock brakes. You name it, and I tried it. The Outback never let me down.
Up top at 10,450 feet, the views of the magnificent Grand Teton mountain range were a testament to the power and complexity of nature.
The trip down with my delightful co-driver, Subaru Corporate Communications Manager Heather Ward, was just as impressive as the ride up.
To wind down after an exciting day, we gathered to watch the sun set over Jackson Lake. Quiet conversation set the mood for one of the best night's sleep I've ever known.


Everyone can take quality photos with their phone these days. No, you don't need a DSLR or fancy lens or expensive equipment, you just need two hands and a smart phone.
One of the most fun parts of sharing the photos though, is the editing process: tweaking the photo to make it look a little bit better than before, adding filters and acquiring a certain style that speaks to you.
Over the years, I have tried various editing apps and techniques and slowly ~ through a process of trial and error ~ discovered the ones that I like best. I've spent some time reflecting on the things I've learned and wanted to share a few tips on how to polish your photos and find your own unique style.
1. Download VSCOcam and Snapseed.
Really? Yea. Snapseed is like a mini Photoshop at your fingertips. In Snapseed, you can tweak the colors, play with dodging and burning, and use both spot repair and selective brightness. I usually open my photo in Snapseed first, tune the image as needed and then save it to my gallery. Then, I open it up in VSCO to add my filter and share from there.
Tip: In Snapseed, don't save the photo as a copy. It will just take up space on your phone. Instead, select the *save* option and your phone will modify the original for you.
2. Adjust the photo before adding a filter.
The contrast, saturation, exposure and ambiance should all be adjusted and saved before you apply the filter. This makes sure that the filter's tones aren't getting in the way and affecting the colors that your eyes are seeing. If you're not familiar with editing and tweaking photos, a simple auto-adjust will help.
Tip: Try upping the contrast and lowering the saturation for a more natural effect.
Play around with an image for awhile ~ adjust each differently, save them to your gallery and open up the different edits in VSCO to play some more. Apply different filters, adjust the warmth, contrast, brightness. Editing should be like a mini experiment while training your eye to see what looks and feels best. You're the artist here and there are no rules ~ just play!
Ehhh actually, I lied. There is one rule I always try and abide by: don't overdo it. Never apply more than one filter and don't go overboard on the contrast and clarity tools. That's a quick way to make something look too over-processed. The more natural the better.
Tip: I don't even like to apply the entire filter in VSCO. Try toning it down to +8 rather than the full +12.
4. Stay consistent.
Once you've experimented and discovered a style you like, stick with one or two filters (preferably of the same family). For example, I always use the F2 (mellow) filter in VSCO. However, when I first started editing and sharing my photos, I'd use three or four filters... and my Instagram feed looked like a jumbled mess. Stay consistent and your feed will look clean and mindful.
Tip: But on the real, don't be too hard on yourself. You're learning. Your style and eye will change over time (as it should). And honestly, even the most famous photographers / Instagrammers still have no idea what they're doing.
Mostly, have fun with it. It's so good to sit and play with your photos and it feels great when you have a beautiful finished project that you're proud of. Keep exploring and experimenting!


I have done only a little bit of the tiger the past two weeks as school has been busy. I am almost done the corner and then want to just move across the bottom to get the face framed. Below are the before and after pictures.
I also finished a very small project called Stitch for Syria on behalf of concern. You can join the campaign here and the pattern will get sent to you. You just have to sew up the small pattern and then mail it to a UK location. It is a pretty design and only took a few hours to do up.


In 1997, Theme Hospital, which came with a simple but compelling concept, such as hospital operation, was a game that most of the actors scratched and at least remembered. Not only for the PC, but for the Playstation 1, this legendary simulation game has been at least attracted by its humorous and deep gameplay. Mark Webbley and Gary Carr, who work in the old Bullfrog and Lionhead studios, will join the Sega and keep the Theme Hospital legend alive with their new game Two Point Hospital.
Doctor, we’re losing the patient! Shake it off ?!
As in other simulation games, you run a hospital yourself. But at Theme Hospital things are a little different. In general, you were not always expected to perform at a higher level than you, and it seemed to be a part of the game of esprit, which was also popular with Theme Hospital. Yesterday, Sega’s official image on the Facebook and Twitter pages was a light bulb and “Two-morrow”. Most players were expecting a new Jet Set Radio game, but it was a rather different game. Nevertheless it is a good feeling to know that a legendary game will soon be presented to us again and again.
Producer Two Point and Sega have also released a trailer for Two Point Hospital, you can watch the trailer from below. Two Point Hospital will be available to players in 2018.


An overcast morning greeted 14 skippers with Keith Holmes and Roger Bacon as Race and Assistant Race Officers.
After Keith had given the briefing, the results of the Summer Sizzle were announced. Mick Chamberlain won the 1st prize of £100, with Geoff Burrell 2nd £50, Graham Keightley 3rd £25 and Dave Geldard 4th £10. Well done to all and a big thank you for your support for the Club. The money raised has been a big help over the last months.
Keith got us off on time with a good beat down the lake and run back to a gate near the clubhouse, and other than a slight tweak on the start line position the course remained unchanged for the 15 races completed. The wind was pretty much as forecast North Easterly and about 12/15 mph. Even though we had a good breeze for the A+ rig, it was extremely fluky, and caught all out with the constant shifts and holes.
The level of racing throughout the fleet is improving week on week, and it was good to see our visitor Simon Fairman, and new member Peter Hellen.
The 15 races proved too much for some and by the last race the fleet was reduced to only 8 skippers. The return to a 1pm finish is something which will have to be looked at and voted on.
report By Jen ,
Mick says , the racing is very close looking at the results pete won two of the races but Jen won 5 so consistancy won the day, We must remember that in a series of 14 or so races you don not have to win them all !!!!! Nice to see Simon from Rofwac I am sure he enjoyed his day and good to see Geoff Burrell starting to knock on the door, I do agree we perhaps need to chat about the times for the racing and try and sort so people do not depart early. Great turnout dont miss the next round on the 25th July .

In such a fast-paced world, classic beauty seems gone too soon but the memories live on. At Old Modern Handicrafts, we work hard to bring those memories back to life. Old Modern Handicrafts (OMH) uses the old way of building ship models while integrating modern technology.

The old and modern technology work seamlessly together to create a product that will become the center of attention for any home or office. Besides scale models, OMH also makes wooden canoes and kayaks that looks beautiful and also performs well on water. These boats are strip built from Canadian western red cedar and encapsulated in fiber glass.

After all the sweets and decadent meals of the holiday season it’s time to tone it down and eat a little more health conscience. But it doesn’t mean meals have to be boring or tasteless. By marinating foods you can create many different tastes while still maintaining healthy habits. I’ve always loved the way citrus enhances marinades. This is a great time of year to get grapefruit so I picked up a few extra for my marinade. I intended to juice two grapefruit but they were so juicy I found I only needed one. I had enough for the shrimp and a little extra that I saved aside to make a salad dressing. With a salad and some herb wedge potatoes on the side and I had a healthy tasty meal.
I tweeked a recipe from Cooking-Spree.com for a grapefruit marinade for grilled scallops, which worked perfectly for the shrimp. I gathered together some olive oil, green onion, cilantro, vermouth, grapefruit, jalapeno and some honey.
I juiced a grapefruit and decided there was plenty juice to make my marinade. To that I added the zest, 1 medium jalapeno, 2 tablespoons of cilantro, 2 tablespoons of green onion, 3 tablespoons of Vermouth, 2 tablespoons of honey and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. I took a taste and decided it needed a pinch of salt.
Whisk it all together and it’s ready for the shrimp. I did set aside about 1/2 cup to make a salad dressing.
Place about a pound of peeled and deveined shrimp into the marinade and spoon it over every piece. Place in the fridge for at least an hour, more if you have the time.
If you are using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
Skewer your shrimp and grill over medium high heat 2 – 3 minutes on each side. When the shrimp begin to turn pink youknow they are ready to turn
And in no time they are ready!
For the salad dressing I added a little more olive oil, a drizzle of Agave syrup, and salt and pepper to taste. It makes a really good vinaigrette.
Grapefruit Marinated Shrimp (adapted from Cooking-Spree.com)
1 pound Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 – 2 Grapefruit, zested and juiced
1 medium Jalapeno, minced
2 tablespoons Green Onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons Vermouth
2 tablespoons Honey
3 tablespoons Olive Oil (I used Tasteful Olive’s Blood Orange flavored olive oil)
Salt to taste Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a bowl large enough to accommodate the shrimp. Place the shrimp in the marinade and spoon some of the marinade over top. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour. If using wood skewers, soak in water 20 minutes prior to grilling.
Place 4 – 5 shrimp on a skewer and grill over medium high heat for about 2 – 3 minutes on each side. When the shrimp begin to turn pink they are done.
** Note the marinade makes a nice salad dressing. To make it, set aside 1/2 cup of the marinade, add a little extra olive oil, a drizzle of Agave syrup and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk together.

As the cold days of winter turn into long hours of warmer weather in spring, the flowers bloom and the seeds in our minds are planted with gardening ideas for the coming season.
While we’re busy figuring out what vegetables to grow and where we’re going to put the compost bin and rain barrels, think of an out-of-the-box idea that could save you time, money, and energy. You might even find a solution to a dilemma you didn’t know you had, or you might just find the inspiration to try something fun and unique.
Related: Why is permaculture gardening so popular?
Put pots in flower beds
This is one of those simple ideas that is often overlooked. Instead of delegating your best pots exclusively to the deck or patio, place them throughout the garden. This lets you add colorful flowers, grasses, and other plants to the landscape and swap them around as you wish. This is especially useful if you are a tenant and want to move your plants with you.
Keep a detailed gardening logs
Keeping track of all your seed packets, garden diagrams, and planting schedules is essential. Use a method of organization that works for you. For example, you can put everything in a digital file on the computer, use a binder, or just gather papers and put them in your favorite gardening book. However, this works best for you, be sure to keep track of what you planted, where you planted it, when it should be pruned or harvested, and if it should be moved to a more advantageous location. before next season.
Proudly display plant markers
To benefit the environment, minimize the number of plant markers you buy. Instead, get creative with what you already have on hand. Cut large plastic yogurt containers into strips, use wooden stakes, or invest in metal markers that can be cleaned and reused over and over again.
Try Rocks and Filters in Planters
One of the biggest issues with plant success is balancing the right amount of water the plant receives and retains. Help your plants with good drainage in holes with some gravel at the bottom. You can also place stones inside the planters. Instead of aiding drainage, you can use coffee filters inside planters for water retention. Also place a mesh screen at the bottom to prevent soil from falling through the hole at the bottom of the planter.
Use boots, tubs and baskets
There is more to a garden landscape than ceramic or concrete planters. In fact, just about anything that can hold soil can be recycled into a planter. Try a purse, basket, bucket, kettle, or even an old boot. The interior of a broken washing machine, bathtub or proven toilet can also add a little something to the landscaping.
Bring photos to the garden center
It’s often hard to describe what you’re looking for, so when you go to the garden center, bring photos of your space. A visual reference can help guide your purchasing choices.
If you haven’t heard of intercropping, you may be missing out on valuable garden space. Intercropping simply means planting vegetables next to each other. It is ideal in small spaces to increase your harvest. The key is to plant companion plants that don’t compete for the same resources. For example, place carrots (which grow underground) right next to lettuce or peas.
If you fancy edging for the manicured lawn down the street, create your own technique with a flat spade and a 2×4 or similar wooden plank. Simply lay the wood down and hold it in place with your foot while you use the spade to create a straight edge.
Gardening with beer
Slugs love beer as much as many gardeners. However, they do not recover from drinking the fermented drink. Place the hot, half-drunk, or cheap beer you were going to throw away in a mug or an old can. Secure the tank by sinking it slightly into the ground, then pour the beer inside. You want to have a little head start so that when the slugs come up for a drink, they can’t come back up.
Use less soil
Soil-filled planters, especially large ones, become very heavy and difficult to move. Instead of filling the planter with expensive soil from top to bottom, fill the bottom half with putty. If you have old packing peanuts or plastic foam around the house, this is a great way to reuse them. Plant-based materials also work, although they break down over time.
Trust the ice cream
When you leave town for the weekend, freeze several containers filled with water. These can be orange juice containers, water bottles or glass bottles. Whatever container you choose, make sure there is a way to poke small holes in the lid or the side. Place the containers in your planters or next to the plants in the ground. As they thaw, they slowly release water into the plants, so you don’t have to ask your neighbor to do the watering.
Regrow your food
There are many foods that you can put off after your grocery run. These foods do not require seed starting. For example, cut your romaine lettuce close to the base and place it in a bowl of water. Soon you will see new leaves forming. The same goes for green onions, celery, ginger, herbs and more.

The Big Red Carp Fishing Blog
We’ve used ALL that we know about ROBIN RED to create three NEW ingredients, and they’re all based on what we fondly call “ROBIN RED TECHNOLOGY” but what does that mean?
Bill Cottam would only ever use Haith's genuine Robin Red in his baits and has done so for a number of years as he explains in this article...
Carp are frustrating beasts. Just when you think you have got the fish all worked out they go and break the rules and start playing hard to get. It’s strange but true; carp can be easier to catch in certain areas and almost impossible to catch in others. Some of the most challenging areas are the spots where they go to chill out and rest up for the day.
We have looked at the various ‘Reds’ previously in this series of articles and I have concentrated mainly on Super Red. However, there are three other variations on the theme and in this article I will be concentrating on Honey Red. All the ‘Reds’ are based on our famous all-species attractor Robin Red and in the case of Honey Red the bulk ingredients are the sweet and spicy PTX and the highly attractive Red Factor.
We have seen all manner of trends come and (sometimes) go in the bait business and the latest fad – or is it much more than that? – is boiled bait based on nut products. There has been a lot of talk in the press and on the forums about these baits so I thought I would have a little play around with a few ideas myself. I decided to start with tiger nuts, arguably the most effective and certainly the most popular of all the nut baits.
The period from October through to Christmas is generally accepted as being the best time of the year to go carp fishing. The days grow shorter and the water temperature drops and carp recognise these seasonal time clocks as nature’s way of telling them that winter is coming; time to fatten up for the bleak times ahead. That said, don’t make the mistake of thinking that the carp are suddenly going to drop their guard and throw caution to the wind. As fish that has been suspicious of bait all summer is not going to loose that suspicion just like that!


Hello, I am someone who found this community in July of 2015, and I have made several blender minecraft animations. It might also be interesting to know that I have organized documentation of my experiences on WOA, and I am looking forward to being involved with this server as well.
I was on the old WoA server before both of the resets, and I gradually began having less and less time to be involved. I built two houses in the first world available in WoA, and I built another two in the second world. I only lived in one base during the latest period of WoA before it shut down, and I was very inactive during this period.
My previous animations including people in this community:

Introduction to yoga
Yoga has become an essential part of several lives these days. Although, considered a form of exercise, it possesses the ability to affect not only the physical but also the psychological and emotional health of an individual.
Some people see yoga as some kind of religious rituals, which they will have to change their entire lifestyle if they must observe it, and as such they avoid participating in yoga.
Although, in the past yoga was mostly practised by hippies, but in recent times, yoga has become a widely accepted practice. Different kinds of people now engage yoga for its ability to satiate both the mental and physical states.
Meditation has also been analysed in the same way. We have several modes of meditation. All meditation is not necessarily tied to attaining “spiritual enlightenment” or the use of drugs and singing.
Yoga is simply a method of strengthening and toning the body
Meditation can as well serve as an important tool useful for the control of several physical and mental sicknesses. It reduces anxiety and depression and help to control panic attacks, reduce anxiety and lots more. The effects of meditation on the mental state cannot be overemphasised, and doctors recommend it as a great way of not taking medications.
We hope that through this piece, you are enlightened and even learn to engage in yoga and meditation without help. You probably would be amazed by the physical and mental benefits that you gain from this.
Be aware that in this piece, we shall be discussing the history of yoga and meditation and religious activities, but that doesn’t mean you should change your religion or belief any of the religious thoughts of both methods.
The inclusive details about the spiritual part is primarily for the purpose of information and nothing more. Although, in no way is yoga a religion, but for the people who engage in it, it can have spiritual impact.
Your religion matters not, so, whether you are Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Protestant, or even a Scientologist! you may decide to practice or not, you don’t need a religion to enjoy the benefits of yoga.
Yoga (as described in this piece) is a simple way of toning and rejuvenating the body while experiencing the psychological and emotional effects it can offer.
In this piece, meditation is simply described as a method of boosting mental clarity, easing stress and dealing with any form of mental and emotional challenges.This does not imply any religious promotion agenda, however, if you decide to use it in a certain way, I can improve your religious experience.
Just so you know a few things about the origins of yoga and meditation, we will take a look into the rich history of both practices. You would acknowledge its value and importance as an extraordinary factor for physical and mental health only when you understand fully its origins and true purpose.
We are going to discuss the important equipment needed for the practice of yoga and meditation, that begins with mats balls, blocks and bags. You’ll find out here the importance of each of these equipment, their use and which you really need to buy or not.
Also, you will learn what yoga and meditation are all about, what they can offer you and what their constraints are. None of them appeal to everyone, as everyone have different tastes and opinion and they do not heal every sickness.
While some practitioners think that yoga and meditation are capable of curing all illness, disease and ailments in the world, sadly there are no proofs to support this.
To anyone hoping for a miracle cure for diabetes or cancer, then, this is not what you’re looking for. But if you are looking for an easy way to reduce depression, panic attacks, stress, back pain, mental fog, or some other less complicated physical and mental issues, yoga and meditation might help.

It’s time for some fun in the sun with the Pals! Glad you could join us for the Pals Summer Sunshine Blog Hop! You’ve probably hopped over from Kimberly Deacon at Delightful Stampin, I’m stop number 14 on the Pals Hop and I’m glad you hopped in! I’ll help you “hop along” from blog to blog where you’ll find great ideas for summer themed Stampin’ Up! projects from the Stampin’ Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up below and you’ll be back on track!!
As many of you may know, I design the blog hop badges every month for the Pals blog hops. I spent quite a while pondering what would make a great design for this Summer themed hop, and eventually, that led me to purchasing both the Storytime DSP (127193) and Storytime Ensemble Digital Kit (127195) MDS downloads. Boy, what a great decision! The colors are so bright and fresh, and the amount of elements that come in the Digital Kit is totally unbelievable! Among other things, the Digital Kit comes with: 74-piece stamp brush set, 20 Designer Series Papers and a whopping 126 embellishments!! The embellishments include all the cute characters found in both the stamp sets and on the DSP. So, on to my creation!
Many of you know that I’m prior military, and my husband is still active duty. Well, we recently got orders and will be moving from Texas to Nebraska this summer. So, that means it’s time to design something super cute to send to all our friends and family for change of address cards – this time around, well, MDS of course!
I was so inspired by the blog badges, that I decided to base our new address postcard on it! Adding the white border around the DSP background and the punch frame and letters really adds to the crispness of the design. I think this is about as CAS as I can get! Of course, I couldn’t resist adding a few kitties to represent our four fur-kids, Tag, Sarah, Iggy and Dimitry!
Now hop along for more inspiring ideas from Mikki Sarkisyan at Mikki’s Creative Corner, stop number 15 on the Pals Summer Sunshine Blog Hop! Thanks for “hopping” by!

I have been super busy working on an Ork force, but have found some time to slot in a couple of Flumph’s for a friend. Not the marshmallow sweet kind, but the Dungeons and Dragon’s monster kind.
They were a fun break from the green skins, which are now thankfully, nearly finished. I love their bright colour and cute feel and that was something I wanted to capture in the paint scheme I had for them. I feel I was able to do this!
Apparently, the creature’s tendrils change colour with mood, so I wanted to do them both differently. What fun miniatures they are!

I had no idea these were even a thing! I have to check out more D&D resources, these look brilliant.

Thank you. I didn’t know either until my friend asked me to paint them for her. They’re well neat little minis.
Those are great. I really like them- the ‘mood’ tentacles are very nicely done.


Red Rocks Canyon Loop Trail in Colorado Springs is a great in-town hike bursting with color and views of Pikes Peak, Red Rocks Canyon, and Colorado Springs and the quarry.
Though there is snow in the high country already during October and November, there are a lot of hikes close to Denver and Colorado Springs that don’t take you too far into the mountains. Fall and early spring hikes are just a short distance from the city.
Fall is a great time to get in some lowland hikes before the winter really sets in. There are still golden leaves on the trees too!

Jolly ol’ Gabe Newell and his friends and peers at Valve have decided to extend the Holiday Sale event currently running on the Steam marketplace.
Originally set to expire on January 5th, Valve announced by way of Steam that the sale will now run until Monday. Here’s the exact verbage:
Gamers will have a final opportunity to get their favorite games on Steam. A select number of the most sought-after titles from the Steam Holiday Sale will reprise their biggest discounts for two additional days. The Encore Weekend begins at 10am PST on January 5th (Saturday) and run until 10am PST on January 7th (Monday).
With that bit about “a select number of the most sought-after titles,” one would have to assume that gamers can look forward to the games that graced the top of the sales charts since the start of this discount period.
Personally, I love the Steam Sales. There’s been a lot of chatter online about how dropping the price of games by 75% can actually devalue them in the long run, but speaking strictly as a gamer who likes to save some scratch, these discounts are awesome.
Have you picked anything up in this recent sale?

Hey everyone, just posted this over at minorleagueball.com. I looked at past drafting tendencies of the A's, and used it to predict what type of player they would pick with their five picks in the first three rounds. I then matched this up to my personal draft board. I would love some good discussion on this. So come on over!
Came across an interesting read after watching my favorite NL team (the Braves) beat the Cubs behind Tim Hudson. Though he's been in Atlanta longer than he ever was in Oakland, most A's fans I talk to still speak highly of him. I enjoyed his time here, always fun to see a "bulldog" type pitcher succeed
Hey AN, just wanted to ask you guys a quick question. If I'm able to see the A's in Houston this summer, is it cool if I post some pictures and a game thread? (I would just be going to one game between July 22-24, is the series I believe.)


Rocket Languages Member Reviews
Read all about how Rocket Languages online language learning courses have helped our members on their quest to learn a language!
Rocket French — Boston
When I first started learning at Rocket Languages, I was so surprised. Not only did Rocket Languages offer so many topics on so many levels, but this website makes it fun and simple to learn french. It offers tips that are understandable and thus my french comprehension has risen to a level far beyond my expectations. For these reasons I would recommend this website any french learner, whether beginner or advanced.
I travel to Québec from the U.S. almost weekly for my job. This course is very helpful in my quest to speak fluent French. Thank you for this well structured interactive course! I am learning at my own pace, fitting it nicely to my schedule. Thank you! Patty
Rocket Hindi — Tamilnadu
Amazing. I learnt some useful words with less time and effort. Good work. keep it up. i thought learning hindi would be tough job. But when i used rocketlanguage, i came to conclusion that what i thought was wrong. Because this site has hepled me in such a way that it made my job very easy.
Love the Rocket Language course, I have tried many language courses and this one by far is the best. Very interactive, well structured and is good value for money. Another advantage is the access to the free trial. Definitely worth a try!
Rocket French — Hong Kong
Rocket French is absolutely the best online language learning programme that I have ever tried in my life. Comparing with Rosetta Stone or Pimsleur's French products, I think this is more comprehensive, interactive and interesting as the hosts of Rocket French introduce you to French language and culture with detailed explanations. As for the games provided, I enjoy playing them a lot and they certainly help me develop my four skills (Reading, writing, listening and speaking) in French language!
I will recommend Rocket French to all of my friends. Also, I do look forward to seeing the enrichment of teaching materials here :)
Rocket Languages uses a variety of approaches, including listening, speaking, reading and writing - and above all, REPETITION, which really helps me learn. I also like the combination of "learn by hearing" and specific grammar instruction. The only thing that would make it better is if it had videos.
Couldn't imagine it is that easy to learn new language, Rocket languages really knows how to make difficult languages to become easy to learn, I am sure if I spend more time I will know how to speak Spanish very good, thank you so much.
Rocket French — Coppell, TX
I've only been using Rocket French for an hour but already I've so much! I feel as if I could talk to a fluent French speaker and understand them and communicate right back. The program gives you so many options as to how to learn, and doing all of them (since they are included!) is the best way possible!
Rocket Italian — surrey
Before starting with Rocket, I had done another software-based course, which was a good foundation from the point of view of grammar, etc. I had got as far as I could with that and Rocket has proved to be the best way for me to continue and expand my knowledge of Italian. I especially like having the facility of recording my own voice to compare with the proper pronunciation; also having the app on my phone is very useful, especially when I am on the train. I have recommended it to other people, and would continue to do so.
Having decided to learn Portuguese to impress and become more involved with my Brazilian friends, I chose Rocket languages. It's great! It's Brazilian Portuguese, so exactly what I wanted, and it is so easy to use either on my laptop at home or tablet during lunch at work.
I've tried a little with my friends and they've commented on my good pronunciation - all thanks to Rocket Languages. The way the language is introduced is intuitive and it sticks.

In Minnesota, people-powered water sports have traditionally started and ended with canoeing and kayaking. (Aside from some gnarly waves on Superior, we’ve got 9,999 relatively placid lakes.) If Emily Hendricks and Emily Carey have anything to say about it, however, a newcomer with surfing in its DNA is about to take over. Make way for SUP.
“I love to be on top of the water,” Hendricks says. “It’s being able to see down into the world that you never really get to look at when you’re canoeing or kayaking or on a boat. You can paddle intensely, you can float and have a beer. I like to do it all!”
Hendricks works in IT and caught the stand-up paddleboard bug almost a decade ago during a trip to Hawaii. After a few years of lobbying her college buddy Carey to join the movement, the pair started an Instagram account called Paddle Flat (@paddleflat). They hope it will serve as a resource for the freshwater SUP scene in the Upper Midwest.
“The freedom of not having walls, the ability to sprawl out on your board, your arms can be hanging in the water—you kind of meld into nature at that point,” Hendricks continues.
Carey, a videographer and photographer from St. Paul, was drawn to the sport’s unique physical challenges and undeniable aesthetic appeal. Keeping balance on these long boards is easier than you might think, but it also requires the paddler to engage a symphony of underutilized core muscles. Toss in some techniques from yoga, which both Emilys enthusiastically practice on land and sea, and you have a recipe for a truly unique workout.
“Take everything you know about yoga and throw it out the window, because [SUP yoga] flips you literally upside down,” Carey jokes. “The simplest pose that you can do on land—it’s completely different on a board. You’re not only trying to balance normally; you’re also having to deal with waves that are constantly shifting you.”
The simplicity of SUP makes it a perfect blank canvas for such creative pursuits, and also lowers the bar for access. Once you get over your fear of falling in the water—and the Emilys promise that you will—the sport is refreshingly austere. It requires little in the way of additional equipment beyond a board, paddle, and life preserver. Paddle Flat suggests a dry bag, to keep your phone and other gadgets safe, and that’s about it.
Once you’re on the board itself, Carey and Hendricks recommend balancing on your knees before climbing to your feet. Then, rock side to side to get used to the board’s balance point. Paddle technique borrows some basic skills from canoeing, but SUP demands straight arms and stacked hands for you to glide forward in style.
“I think it’s incredibly peaceful,” Carey says. “The first thing that I want to do when I get on a lake is paddle out and just sit and experience what’s happening. It’s a very zen moment, and it’s very calming. I find a lot of joy from those quieter, slower, peaceful paddles. It’s early morning, there’s fog on the lake, and there’s nothing out there but you and a paddleboard. That for me is a perfect day.”
Rent or Buy a SUP
Wheel Fun is a national chain with four lakeside locations in the Twin Cities (Bde Maka Ska, Harriet, Nokomis and Phalen). Rent full-size paddleboards for $21 an hour, $51 for a half day, or $71 for a full day.
Parked on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, Wai Nani offers several of the major SUP brands, plus rentals, lessons, guided tours, SUP Yoga classes, and much more.
Expect a wide selection of SUPs, like Grey Duck SUP (one of MN’s in-state SUP makers), rentals and demo rides for newer paddlers, and even SUP-related classes and events.


If you’re new to poker, you might be wondering where to start. Poker has a number of advantages over other online games. Online poker venues have lower overheads, and adding another table does not take up valuable space. Players can start playing for low stakes, and online poker rooms often offer poker freeroll tournaments to attract beginners and less well-off clients. While you don’t want to start playing at a low stakes game without experience, it’s possible to learn how to play poker for money in a professional environment.
In Indonesia, the hadiah idn poker dunia is currently in the process of legalization. It will begin to be regulated in 2020 and 2021. The price will likely be a few thousand seratus rupiah, but a new entrant in the poker scene can take the lead by taking on the role of agen. If you’ve never played poker before, however, you can learn more about the job description and the rules of poker by getting involved with a club or a group.
In Indonesia, the game of poker is popular all over the world. The rules of poker are relatively simple. In most cases, you play against other people, not the poker room owner. In Indonesia, you can bet on up to four-handed games and get an edge. You can find the most comfortable game to play for cash based on skill and luck. However, there are many games that can be played online that do not require the player to be a master of the game.
The IDN Poker customer support team is available 24/7 to address any questions or concerns you might have. This includes handling payment system issues. If you have an issue with the payment system, you can contact the IDN Poker customer support team via email, telephone, or through a consumer support form. Besides, IDN Poker has several payment methods that are convenient for customers. And since it is a secure network, players can rest assured that their information will be secure.
IDNPoker is a Cambodian-based site that was first launched in 2010. While it has failed to gain much traction in the west, IDNPoker has made tremendous progress in the Asian market, climbing to the second spot in the PokerScout ranking in 2016. Its focus on the Asian market has helped it gain recognition in the region. There are hundreds of tables available around the clock, with peak hours in the evenings in Europe. You can play for any stake level with IDNPoker, but you will need to use a different browser to multi-table.
Many Internet discussion forums have emerged with allegations that certain online poker sites may have non-random card dealing. These players are likely to be house-employed and use so-called “bots” or multiple players to boost their winnings. While such methods might not affect the outcome of the game, they may discourage new players by preventing them from increasing their bets. Such actions could also be detected by sophisticated tracking software, which is not generally available in the public domain.
