Trophy Slots manages to hit the jackpot without relying on gimmicks
In the increasingly crowded field of Facebook slots games, companies have been turning to all kinds of gimmicks to have their games stand out from the crowd. Trophy Slots shows that there's another way to grab the attention of players, hitting the jackpot by combining straightforward slots play with fun bonuses and social features.
Trophy Slots eschews the trend of using a well known IP to draw in players. Instead, it achieves a sense of familiarity by taking some well known non-licensed slots from both online and land-based casinos and gathering them together in one Facebook game. The mix of themes is apparent right off the bat, as you start with Irish Eyes and Bobby 7s and are able to unlock others like Hot Roller and Genie Wild before too long.
The game does a little better job of explaining itself than some of its competitors, though there's not much to the gameplay that will throw any but the most novice players for a loop. The slots feature 25-line, multiple credit play, with each game showing off its own unique bonus rounds. There's nothing especially fancy about them, and they don't activate as often as you might like. The payback percentages on the slots feel a little on the tight side too, and it's easy to burn through all of your fake money quickly – something aided by the game's tendency to nudge you toward wagering more credits per line.
Fortunately, Trophy Slots makes up for it by including dozens of achievements (called Trophies, naturally) that can help you restore your bankroll quickly. Some are rewards for milestone like your 10,000th spin or 250th three in a row, while others are social goals like inviting friends (they don't even need to accept) or sending gifts to other players. There's also a timer that awards free credits every 45 minutes, which is quite generous by current standards.
Leveling up is accomplished through an experience point system that should also feel very familiar to social slots players, awarding one XP for every credit wagered. Along with the usual bonus credits and newly unlocked games, the level system is also used to change up the gameplay with unique twists. For example, a certain level might award XP at five times the usual rate, while another triples all the coins earned from the bonus games. It's a small but welcome feature that makes advancing through the game seem like something enticing.
Probably because the company behind it is based in the online gambling haven of Gibraltar, Trophy Slots feels like it makes no bones about being ready for real money gaming in a heartbeat, even totaling your virtual money in dollars instead of chips or another stand-in like most of its competitors do. This could be a plus or minus depending on your feelings about the seemingly inevitable marriage of gambling and social games, but it's worth noting. In the meantime, you can pony up some of your dough for the game's fake dollars any time you completely run dry.
It seems strange to say it since we're talking about virtual slots, but Trophy Slots succeeds on substance over style, figuring out just the right way to keep you playing with its small tweaks to time-honored slots play and social features that don't feel like like they were tacked on at the end. It's an intriguing design choice at a time when more bells and whistles seems to be the norm, and it will be interesting to see if it pays off.

Defeat Fear By Knowing Your Blessedness
in the ever-growing darkness of this world, which causes us fear, let us reflect upon the light and hope in this song from Jamie Smith with Ryan Smith.
Several years ago when I am away on retreat at L'Arche just outside of Toronto in Richmond Hill, I have the blessing of reading books in the Henri Nouwen library. I remember reading the thoughts of Father Henri Nouwen on what would be the greatest threat in the 21 st century. He writes that it will be terrorism. Think of that word for a moment. Terrorists use this word a lot to put your spirit in a state of constant fear. They use horrible videos portraying beheadings that I am strongly advising you not to watch to make you live your life in fear and an underlying despair about the state of our world. Don't allow them to use their viciousness and cruelty to rob you of your joy.
If Father Nouwen was alive today, he would be encouraging all of us to not let the terrorists have the victory over us. He would be reminding us that we are the blessed children of God. He would call us to feel that identity in our hearts and pursue the life purpose God put upon our hearts with much prayer, reflection and dedication to it.
Everyone has a reason for being here, a purpose unique to that person. The most powerful thing you can do to defeat terrorism is to follow your vocation or calling, however you want to refer to it, with an unswerving commitment.
Terrorists want you living your life with this constant fear and feeling that one day they will get you when you least expect it. Why bother working on achieving goals if you will be killed any way? This was the thinking that occurred in my high school after we saw the film The Day After. The movie had pro-nuclear people upset that the film was alarmist propaganda, Anti-nuclear activists said the film wasn't graphic enough. President Reagan said it was instrumental in changing his opinion about the arm's race.1
Quoting from Wikipedia:
"The film postulates a fictional war between NATO forces and the Warsaw Pact that rapidly escalates into a full-scale nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. However, the action itself focuses on the residents of Lawrence, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, as well as several family farms situated next to nuclear missile silos." 2
After watching the film many of my classmates became depressed. The movie only served to fuel the feeling that it was futile to study for a future because there may be none. Yet, here we are over thirty years later and there still is a world, albeit it one living with the constant threat of terrorism.
Fear can cause us to not complete our life goals. There is often this fear of failure, which in many instances is rooted in abuse. I was afraid to fail anything because that would result in my schizophrenic father beating me physically and then emotionally with his words. He would say, "Your brother is smarter than you'll ever be. Do you work at being stupid? You will always be a failure."
In my case this fear of failure spurred me on to prove my father wrong. I work as a counsellor full-time in correctional ministry, take a full-time course load at then Ontario Bible College in Toronto(now Tyndale University) and am involved in many outreach ministries. I fail to understand that my drivenness although called to serve in ministry which I enjoy, has a root of proving to my father that I am not the failure he says I am.
I experience several years of burnout and times of long periods of illness because I push myself beyond what I should have. Yet, I still do not feel that I am a blessed child of God. When we fail to see how much God loves us we don't feel loved, nor do we see the true beautiful person God created. We only hear the ugliness of what those who abuse us tell us we are. An abused person who is engaged in this unhealthy competition with their siblings as I was with my brother begins to believe the false self their abuser wants them to believe.
It is only as I have been on the journey to forgiving my father for my abuse, that I began to see that forgiving others is part of being the blessed children of God. We don't want to contain the blessing of feeling loved to ourselves. We feel the calling in our hearts to share it. In making that long and difficult journey to forgiving my father this is when healing memories come back to me such as my father showing around an article entitled Searching for a Bit in a Megabyte, which is published in The War Cry, a Salvation Army magazine.
I am serving as a missionary in South Korea in the eastern seaboard city of Kangung He shows the article to everyone he meets. Dad gets it published in the Canadian Mental Health Association magazine. He writes to me in a letter saying, "Kevin, I am so proud of you! I wanted you to know I am telling everyone how proud I am of you. I say to them, "My son, Kevin, wrote this article!" Kevin, please forgive me for all the harm I have caused you." My father reminded me of the truth of who I really am, not the lies that he would speak into my mind and soul when he was in a manic rage.
Just before my father's death from pneumonia about a month before Christmas 2005 the Lord gives me the opportunity to say my final good-bye to him. I hold his hand as he is fighting for his breath. I tell him with tears flowing how much I love him. I sing songs to him about God's love for him.
I remember his wonderful sense of humour. One time I see him in the nursing home he says when I have a beard, "Son, your razor must be broken." The Lord that day gave me the gift of seeing my father as my Lord created him to be, not the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde character I am terrified of. Dad is in Heaven where he is singing eternal praises as a blessed child of God. I love you, Dad.
I have been thinking and praying about the actions of ISIL (ISIS) and all terrorists. What they are trying to do to you is give you a false self filled with fear for the future, like my father in his sickness would try to do. You defeat terrorists and the fear they want you to live in by feeling your blessedness as a child of God not merely with your mind, but moreover your heart.
You defeat the destruction fear seeks to cause you in your spirit by owning in your heart that you are a blessed child of God and living it.
Father Henri Nouwen wrote:
"We want to live as people chosen, blessed, and broken, and thus become food for the world."
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, Bread for the Journey: A Daybook of Wisdom and Faith
Father, help us defeat fear and terrorism by knowing, feeling and then acting as the blessed, broken children of God we are. Amen.
Look up into the darkness around you and see the light of our Father's glory as you rejoice in being His blessed child.

36:1 And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Jehovah hath commanded.
36:2 And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Jehovah had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
36:3 and they received of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, wherewith to make it. And they brought yet unto him freewill-offerings every morning.
36:4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought.
36:5 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make.
36:6 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
36:7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
36:8 And all the wise-hearted men among them that wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman, `Bezalel' made them.
36:9 The length of each curtain was eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains had one measure.
36:10 And he coupled five curtains one to another: and `the other' five curtains he coupled one to another.
36:11 And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.
36:12 Fifty loops made he in the one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling: the loops were opposite one to another.
36:13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was one.
36:14 And he made curtains of goats' `hair' for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
36:15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain: the eleven curtains had one measure.
36:16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
36:17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which was `outmost in' the second coupling.
36:18 And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
36:19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above.
36:20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle, of acacia wood, standing up.
36:21 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.
36:22 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
36:23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward.
36:24 And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
36:25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,
36:26 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
36:27 And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
36:28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part.
36:29 And they were double beneath; and in like manner they were entire unto the top thereof unto one ring: thus he did to both of them in the two corners.
36:30 And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets.
36:31 And he made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
36:32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.
36:33 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.
36:34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
36:35 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman, made he it.
36:36 And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; And he cast for them four sockets of silver.
36:37 And he made a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer;
36:38 and the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of brass.

About Me
My namesake... http://youtu.be/GgXzWhexJh0 ... If I were asked to recommend only one political / history book it would be this one... http://www.amazon.com/Treason-America-Anton-Chaitkin/dp/0943235006 ... Treason in America: from Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman, by Anton Chaitkin. I do NOT endorse all of the views by Chaitkin external to this book, nor all of his actions, nor all of his associations, but I DO highly recommend this book. It is one every US citizen and everyone interested in its history should read. It it well written, meticulously sourced, and it is eye-opening -- even for those who consider themselves already knowledgeable. If you have not read it before, you need to read it, it is need-to-know information, and what it has to say is not going to be found in many places, if anywhere, else. That is my tip for whoever is passing by.

They say if you really love what you do, you don't work a day in your life. That certainly holds true for me. As General Manager of Chef Robert Irvine's new digital magazine, I have the creative freedom to make the kind of magazine that I've always wanted to read. Previously, as Deputy Editor of Muscle & Fitness Magazine, I had the opportunity to go places, meet people, and write the kind of stories I only used to dream about. I have this website so I can share some of my favorite stories that I've written throughout my career, which spans Robert Irvine's new magazine, Muscle & Fitness, Men's Fitness, Men's Health, the Bennington Banner daily newspaper in Vermont, and the now-defunct (but once exceptional) Blitz magazine. I'm also a freelance gaming journalist, and I post those stories here as well.
I also want to share a look behind the scenes, and while I do most of this through social media—you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram: @mctuthill—this site allows me the forum to write about the experience of some of these assignments, and share some behind-the-scenes videos.
There are a lot of other places you could be out on the interwebs. Thanks for taking some time to stop by.

There were a few readers among the sleepyheads on the train this morning. I have to say, I'm impressed with my fellow readers this morning for the caliber of the books they were reading. Here's what I spotted:Black Boy by Richard Wright (I read this book in high school. Still one of my favorites.)Sabbath's Theatre by Philip Roth (One of the books that made The Prizewinners list I put together last month.)The Magic Mountain by Thomas MannThe Way of the Flesh by Samuel Butler (V.S. Pritchett called it "one of the time-bombs of literature.")Granta 91: Wish You Were Here (I love Granta. This issue includes Ismail Kadare, Margaret Atwood, Thomas Keneally and James Lasdun.)Cicero: The Life and Times of Rome's Greatest Politician by Anthony Everitt (For all the classicists out there.)Three Junes by Julia GlassAnd a couple of bestsellers:Freakonomics by Steven D.

I spent a week recuperating at my grandparents' house, devouring my mom's old Bobbsey Twins books. When I ran out of those, I started in on Nancy Drew, and a bookworm—or rather, bookwyrm—was born.
These day, I read mainly genre fiction—fantasy and science fiction, mystery, and romance—with a smattering of historical fiction and literary fiction thrown in for variety. I've never been a book snob and happily read books for all ages, so you'll find reviews of middle grade (MG) and young adult (YA) books alongside the adult book reviews.
I also enjoy reading well-written nonfiction once in a while, but most of my nonfiction reading is for my job as a freelance indexer: I create the indexes you find in the back of a book. (Yes, I have to read the book to write the index – usually in depth, and more than once.) I try to keep my professional life separate from my blogging, so you will rarely find me reviewing books I've indexed. It's too bad in a way; some of them are really interesting!
In my other life, I'm a happily married wife and the mother of a college graduate, a singer and choir director, an indexer, a knitter, and a spinner—the order changes from day to day. I don't have time to watch a lot of TV, but my husband (known on the blog as "Mr. Bookwyrm") and I do watch movies and a few series together; recently we've been watching Star Trek: Discovery and Eureka. And I love British mystery series like "Campion," "Foyle's War," and Agatha Christie.
I graduated college (I'm not telling how many years ago!) with a degree in theater and a deep love of history and English literature. I worked for several years as a bookseller and manager for a well-known chain bookstore, now (alas) defunct, then taught English and drama to students in grades 3-12 at a small private school. After the school closed, I turned to indexing. The flexibility of working from home gave me the freedom to homeschool our child through their middle and high school years—it was challenging, but immensely rewarding (and a lot of fun!) Now that Mr. Bookwyrm and I are empty-nesters, somehow I'm just as busy as I was before!
My online nickname, Lark, comes from my love of music (and pays homage to Mercedes Lackey's Bardic Voices series, in which the Free Bards all use bird names.)

text: I am Alice wanted some artwork for her new EP "The Moth & the Meteor" She sent me some slightly amateur (sorry Alice!) photographs. By that I mean that although the poses were nice, the quality of the photographs were grainy and lacked definition. Due to the lack of budget and time, we couldn't sort out a proper shoot. Not one to see that as an excuse not to do, I used the photographs anyway and played on the fact that they were grainy and flat by creating a sort of painted effect in the style of a favourite photographer of mine Sarah Moon. I hand painted her name and the title of the EP and laid over the top of the retouched artwork. Alice was thrilled with the outcome. It is available to buy here.

Tavares wants to spend career with Islanders, says don't count on him signing in Toronto
Newly minted Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky has said he wants to make sure John Tavares doesn't hit the free agent market, GM Garth Snow has said he'll be talking contract extension with Tavares as soon as possible and now Tavares himself has said that he's not intending to be anywhere but New York.
In an interview with Sportsnet 590, Tavares, 25, was asked in tongue-in-cheek fashion about playing in Toronto when his current contract with the Islanders expired, to which Tavares responded that he would "not count on that." Tavares said that being a Toronto native lends itself to the connections being made between he and the Maple Leafs, but added he wants to "go out there and be the best player, best person that I can be for the Islanders day in and day out."
"I think I've always showed my commitment, my appreciation and my desire to play on Long Island," Tavares told Sportsnet 590's Andrew Walker. "I would love for that to continue for the long haul. I think you look at some of the greatest players in the game have been able to spend their entire career somewhere and I hope I'm in that same position."
It's hard to fathom the Islanders wouldn't make Tavares wish of remaining an Islander come true. In just seven seasons in the league, Tavares has already been a two-time Hart Trophy finalist and is a consistent 30-goal, 80-point threat. He's the face of the franchise as the team's captain and scored arguably the biggest goal of the current era when he netted the overtime-winner that sent the Islanders to the second round of the post-season this past campaign.
The season ended when the Islanders were beaten soundly in five games by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round, and Tavares told Walker this off-season has arguably had the biggest turnover since he arrived in the league. The team said goodbye to Kyle Okposo, Frans Nielsen, Matt Martin and Brian Strait this off-season, but Tavares said he understands that it's part of the business side of things.
"We didn't accomplish what we would have liked to and we wish we could have had more success," Tavares told Walker. "But we've been through a lot together, overcame a lot, been through a lot of the down times and it gets to a point in everyone's career, decisions are made and things change."
The one thing that doesn't appear likely to change anytime soon, though, is Tavares' presence in New York. When his deal is up, he'll no doubt have the option of signing a long-term, big-money deal to remain an Islander. With his contract up at the culmination of the 2017-18 season, Tavares could be in line for a deal worth as much as $10 million per season, especially given the recent contracts handed to the likes of Jamie Benn, Anze Koptiar and Steven Stamkos. It won't just be about the money, though.
"They drafted me there, gave me a great opportunity to play this game that I love and fulfill my dream," Tavares told Walker. "Obviously they've put a lot of high expectations into me, and I don't take that lightly, and I've always enjoyed being there from Day One. I would love to see it through and obviously lift the Stanley Cup there."

Orange Lutheran Proves to Be Too Much for Vista, 37-3
Vista Murrieta tight end Jamie Nunley heads upfield after a pass reception Friday night. The Broncos lost to Orange Lutheran. Having won...
|Vista Murrieta tight end Jamie Nunley heads upfield after a pass reception Friday night. The Broncos lost to Orange Lutheran.
Having won 25 consecutive league games and making it to the CIF finals five years running, Vista Murrieta High School football players and their fans aren't used to something like this.
But it's not every day you face an opponent the quality of Orange Lutheran while you're still in a bit of a rebuilding mode.
The visiting Lancers (4-1), ranked 184th in the nation and 28th in the state, led from late in the first quarter on and played a dominating second half in a 37-3 rout of Vista Murrieta Friday night at Vista.
"They really played a different level of football than we were ready for," said Vista Murrieta coach Coley Candaele. "We couldn't match it. That's why they're better than us."
Vista was able to move the ball close enough for two more field goal attempts in the first half but missed both and trailed 14-3 at halftime. By the end of three quarters, it was 27-3.
Fullback Patrick Reardon ran for 150 yards and three touchdowns for Orange Lutheran.
"They really changed their level of play in the third quarter," Candaele said. "We had chances in the first half but we couldn't stay with them. We could've capitalized on some chances in the first half but we didn't.
"We can play with them for 12 minutes, but when they went in at halftime and adjusted some things, it was a different story."
Orange Lutheran wasted no time increasing its lead to 21-3 at the start of the third quarter. The Lancers moved methodically down the field with a drive capped by Reardon's 11-yard touchdown run. Moments later, following a Vista punt, the Lancers scored on their first play on a 40-yard pass from Northington to Hudson Hankins.
Vista quarterback Westin Long completed 11 of 24 passes for 159 yards in his first game back from injury. Tito Feliciano was Vista's leading rusher with just 36 yards.
"We're behind where we need to be," Candaele said. "We're going to have to play catchup for the next couple weeks."
The Broncos play host to St. Augustine in their Homecoming game next Friday before opening Southwestern League play against Great Oak on Oct. 10.
|Westin Long returned at quarterback Friday night and passed for 159 yards.

Cossroad Means Kafou in Music
Elsewhere we explain that we are at a crossroads where the natural and the synthetic meet. In Haitian mythology, kafou is an inter-dimensional doorway through which spiritual entities come and go; kafou means crossroads. Consistent with our fundraising theme, the musical cooperative Jazz Pyebwa recorded and donated to us the recording of the song Kafou.
The song Kafou was recorded by the band Jazz des Jeunes (big band instrumentation) in the 60s at a time when Haitian music was at a crossroads. Jazz des Jeunes ranted that Haitian music was being undermined by sloppy musicianship in this song ,"Kafou," with another song may be titled "voizin." The band tried its best to address that the rich musical tradition in Haiti was at risk. The story of the song Kafou is recounted in Gage Averill's volume "A day for the Hunter, a Day for the Prey."
Jazz Pyebwa also recorded and donated to us a song called "Dezire" that was recorded in the early 70s by the group Bossa Combo one of the mini jazzes of of the mini jazz era in Haiti. This song was among very few tunes that used traditional rhythm after Jazz des Jeunes' rant. We guess that Bossa Combo showed their musicianship while proving Jazz des Jeunes' point. Only a handful of Haitian tunes may be said to have been recorded by Haitian pop bands that use traditional rhythm. The band Trio Select evolved gracefully with front man Coupe Cloue in the early 70s; they played a rhythm that can be heard in recordings of the 1930s.
The Jazz Pyebwa recordings of said songs are not available commercially and we offer them as downloads only.
Jazz Pyebwa is a cooperative of musicians conducting research in the rich Haitian musical tradition. Jazz Pyebwa's mainly focus is on the historical factors that stagnated the evolution of Haitian traditional music as main stream Haitian music. Jazz Pyebwa's research goes back to the early 1800s via the Haitians who settled in New Orleans whom descendants are known today as Creoles. Jazz Pyebwa applies the same techniques that were applied over the years by Creole musicians and their descendants from which came funk, zydeko, rock n' roll, and Jazz. Creole music has been on world stage since 1841 beginning with a fusion of Haitian music and classical; the composition is entitled "Bananiers" and it was based on "Grenadyé a Laso" which is the song of the Haitian revolutionary army that defeated France to free Haiti.
Jazz Pyebwa's first release entitled "Legba Suite" is also made available to help us raise funds. This release is a fusion of Haitian traditional songs accentuated with funk elements.

Secret of Sindhi's Business Sense
By Arun Babani
It is a natural human trait to think big to travel far in fantasy and reach for the stars. History is replete with instances where ordinary human beings have risen to built empires, amass wealth and power beyond imagination. Sindhis have a special relationship to riches, a lure of zeroes so deep, that their heart goes boom on hearing a lucrative proposal, their minds start racing at the mention of a good deal. Theirs is a strong deep rooted faith in the value of wealth. Something basic at the roots of a Sindhi culture is the belief that a good life begins at the wallet. There seems to be an indelible imprint on a Sindhi psyche, a sort of genetic programming to work hard and succeed. As the saying goes, "Paise Bina Prasad, Haroo Na De Hath Mein", (you don't even get godly blessings without funds). A Sindhi believes in work hard, play hard policy. That's the reason a Sindhi beggar is a social rarity, and Sindhi wealth a phenomenal fact to reckon with. What exactly is the secret of a Sindhi's success, the factors that make him get what he wants, in short what is the magic behind his millions?
Sheer hard work is one mantra that a Sindhi chants day 'n' night. So its, "Paiso Kamayum Mahhat Saan" as against folk song that says, "Paiso Ladhum Pata Taan". A typical Sindhi day starts early and goes on till late into the night, day after day, week in week out, month to month, for years and years together. A Sindhi family preserves and literally slogs for its money. It is a common sight to encounter a Sindhi man or woman, travelling in hardships in rain or shine, just enough time for food and sleep. A 'Dhun' or 'Junoon' is how one can describe this hard struggle to reach somewhere, to achieve the goal and have the best of both the worlds.
Sindhis are well known to possess a business acumen, a set of principles around the business of earning money. One such piece of economic wisdom that seems to have worked wonders for Sindhis is the fact of "low margins with a high rolling". Another strictly adhered rule is to have clean and honest exchanges without resorting to unethical shortcuts. By and large Sindhi businessmen maintain a friendly public relation enterprise; some one said, a Sindhi businessman scolds with a smile. This ever friendly style of doing business comes in good stead when the business is low, or competition is high; a Sindhi enterprise is preferred by most communities simply because of its largeheartedness coupled with a humble approach to business associates.
A Sindhi's adaptability to strange environment is by now a proverbial fact. A Sindhi has travelled the length and breadth of the entire globe and commendably has been successful in all environments basically because he possesses the mysterious talent for integrating and adapting himself to any and every cultural situation. From China to Canada, from Gujarat to Gandhidham, east, west, north, south a Sindhi takes on the colours of any culture and makes them his own, effortlessly, beautifully. This important psychic trait of adaptability has made a Sindhi a versatile and global citizen, at ease with language and dealings of most major societies all over the world.
An underlying ambition of a Sindhi makes him go and explore the moolah wherever it happens to be available. Traditionally, a Sindhwarki made far flung journeys to distant and difficult corners of the earth, with only a small boat and blessings of Daryashah Uderolal. His age old greeting, "Jhulelal, Beda Paar", springs from a Sindhi's journeys across seven continents. This ambition naturally makes him a willing taker of risks, a sort of dare devil who believes in the motto of 'no risk, no gain'. In addition to the ambitious adventurer, a Sindhi businessman is also blessed with a far sightedness which comes in good stead in pioneering far flung projects that seem to bear little prospects in the initial stages. But a true Sindhi player can mysteriously smell future gains much more accurately than any of the other business community. This blessing, or talent or genius to see fruits where others see a sapling, needs to be appreciated and valued. As Dr. Moti Prakash put it, "Khak Mein Son Banaina Wara Sindhi" (it is the Sindhis who can create gold from dust).
Today, commendably, Sindhis are truly a world community, with a Sindhi present in over 200 countries all over the globe. This fact alone makes the Sindhi community available to a modern, progressive and free thinking life style. With contacts in high places of business and government, even an ordinary Sindhi back home stands a good chance to be picked up for a right opportunity and offered an international life style. Since Sindhis have a very clear cut community fellow feeling, a Sindhi would always go out of his way to lend a helping hand to another Sindhi, thereby sailing together, hand in hand. From marrying a Mangol in Malaysia to attending a Church in London to playing Garba in Gujarat and dancing in Durga Puja in Bengal, a Sindhi has been there, done that.
And of course, a true Sindhi businessman knows no limits for expansion and growth. A Sindhi never says die, the sky is too close for him, and so a Sindhi empire, once created goes on and on to create similar, bigger and better kingdoms.
Thus, the secret of a successful Sindhi business venture is not so mysterious, or it is not as if a Sindhi is more or less fortunate with lady luck hovering around him all the time; its all these above facts that make a Sindhi business tycoon admired, respected and welcome wherever he happens to be. That is the mystery and magic of Sindhi money.
A Sindhi proverb says, "Jo Vanje Jaave, So Phir Na Aave, Je Aave, Ta Puta Pota Khave".

Regan Martin stopped believing in Christmas miracles six years ago when she lost everything—her house, her job, and her impeccable reputation in the wine industry—after she fell in love with a man she had no idea was married. Then Regan gets a chance for a fresh start in the Napa Valley. With her dream job, dream home, and her daughter enrolled in a wonderful new school, she starts wondering if holiday wishes really do come true.
But she soon tumbles back down to earth when she learns that her new boss is none other than Gabe DeLuca, the scorned wife's brother. Gabe wants nothing more than home-wrecking Regan Martin out of his life, his sister's world, and his family's business. Mostly, he wants the lush beauty out of his head. Yet his attempts to run her out of town have him thinking twice, especially when he sees that Regan may hold the key to tracking down his sister's stolen start-up capital. Even worse for Gabe, Regan might just be his Christmas wish and hold the key to his heart.

The Vikings' carousel of quarterbacks continues on Sunday night when Christian Ponder makes his first start since Sept. 22. Ponder is looking to get his first win since Dec. 30, 2012 when Minnesota beat Green Bay 37-34 at Mall of America Field. The only way this game is within a touchdown is if Adrian Peterson gets involved. The Vikings have the best pure runner in the game and the last time he had more than 13 rushes was Sept. 29 in London. Aaron Rodgers will slice through the Vikings porous secondary with quick outs, hitches and slants as a way to attack Minnesota's menacing starting defensive line that has 5.5 sacks.
Packers 34 Vikings 24
John Rehor (@jrehor)
If the Packers defense suddenly reverts to being the 2011 version, this game will be close. With the way they have been playing, this isn't likely. As a result, this game will barely be a contest. Adrian Peterson may be the best running back in the league, and he will get his share of yards, but it will not matter. Aside from AP, the Vikings offense is a disaster. On offense, Aaron Rodgers and company should have a field day against the Vikings 27th ranked defense. Giving up nearly 300 yards a game through the air, the Vikings will struggle mightily to slow down the green and gold. And for good measure, Eddie Lacy should approach the century mark again as Minnesota gives up over 100 rushing yards a game. The Packers will bid farewell to the Metrodome with one final victory against their rivals to the West.
Packers 34 Vikings 13
Ross Uglem (@RossUglem)
The Packers very much need this win, and the Vikings and their fans have quit on Leslie Frazier. I foresee the Packers and Aaron Rodgers offering an execution-like performance on Sunday. In 2010, the Vikings, with unrealistically high hopes for their season (a lot like this year) were floundering under head coach Brad Childress. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers came in to the Metrodome and delivered a 31-3 drubbing of the Vikings, and Childress was relieved of his duties as head coach. I hate games like this against the Vikings. Unless the Packers win by 3 possessions, it's essentially a loss in the court of public opinion. If the Packers win a close game, they did "what they were supposed to do" and beat "bad team." If they lose, it's colossally embarrassing, especially considering I live in Minnesota. Fortunately, as currently constructed, the Packers and their newly found rush defense are a terrible matchup for the Vikings, and Green Bay will roll.
Packers 38 Vikings 13
Jacob Westendorf (@JacobWestendorf)
The Packers are in prime position to take hold of this division. With Detroit still inconsistent, Jay Cutler injured, and the Vikings an absolute mess these next two games could give the Packers a large cushion as they start to get healthy. The Packers will get Casey Hayward, and potentially Nick Perry back for this game which should bolster a defense that is already playing well. With James Jones, and now Jermichael Finley down the offense will have to be efficient and get a big time performance from Jarrett Boykin or Myles White once again. The Vikings are going to play this game like it is their Super Bowl, but at the end of the day with each team both in disarray for different reasons, the Packers have Aaron Rodgers and the Vikings have Christian Ponder. Expect the Packers to win a close one in the final game at Mall of America Field.
Packers 27 Vikings 21

Weather Matters: Winds to whip up more risk of rip currents, forecasters say
Gusty winds are on the way to wrap up the week, keeping the risk of rip currents at area beaches, forecasters at the National Weather Service in Miami said.
By Friday night, winds could gust out of the east as high as 24 mph before beginning to ease up on Saturday and Sunday.
One benefit: Drier air should setttle into the East Coast with only a 20 percent chance of a shower through Monday. Highs are expected to be in the mid 80s with lows in the upper 70s.
RECORD WATCH: The cold air mass that rolled down the Florida peninsula on Sunday set a few temperature records around the state. Daytona Beach set a low temperature record on Monday with 56 degrees, beating the old record of 57 set in 2010. The Vero Beach low of 60 on Monday tied a mark there last set in 1980.
It was 63 in Fort Myers Monday morning, which tied a record set in 1992. And in Lakeland, the low of 54 Monday tied a previous mark set in 1979.
Sunday's low at Palm Beach International Airport, 64, was 1 degree off the record for the date of 63 set way back in 1897.

MORNING MOON SHOW: This morning's lunar eclipse was an astronomical treat for those who woke up early enough to see moon move into the Earth's shadow over the western sky. But it was hit and miss in this neck of the woods, since clouds obscured at least part of the event.
ABC News http://abcnews.go.com/live?stream=1 streamed shots of the total eclipse live from Los Angeles, where there were clear skies during the pre-dawn hours and the images were impressive.
If you missed this one, not to worry — another will be along next spring, on April 4. The final event in the series of four eclipses will occur on Sept. 28, 2015.

TROPICS TALK: There's finally a yellow "X" on the National Hurricane Center map after an area of low pressure developed in the southern Caribbean. But forecasters believe it's no threat to the Atlantic, since it's moving west toward Central America. They've given it a near-zero percent chance of tropical development over the next two to five days.
Although some forecast models continue to suggest development in the Atlantic over the next week or so, all of the attention continues to be focused on the eastern Pacific, which has been unusually active this season.

MYSTERIES OF THE SEA: Deep ocean waters haven't warmed since 2005 despite a continued increase in greenhouse gases, a new study by NASA finds. Since global warming has slowed in recent years, researchers have speculated that the heat generated by greenhouse gases have gone some place undetectable — the ocean seemed like a likely place.
And in fact, ocean surface temperatures have continued to rise, but not enough to account for the leveling off of overall Earth warming. So, they decided to measure temperatures deep in the ocean — below 1.24 miles, speculating that these depths have been storing the heat. But that hasn't turned out to be the case.
"The deep parts of the ocean are harder to measure," said William Llovel of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif. "The combination of satellite and direct temperature data gives us a glimpse of how much sea level rise is due to deep warming. The answer is — not much."
The results won't change scientific opinion on climate change. "The sea level is still rising," study coauthor Josh Willis said. "We're just trying to understand the nitty-gritty details."
The study was published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Silly question, but have you tried using the Elliquiy 'clear cookies script'? (Link goes to a description where you can choose to clear or not.)
Have/do other animated gifs show up correctly in either your siggy or the wiki? In other words, is the problem with this specific gif file or all gif files?
In that case I would look at the IMG code of the signature - sometimes some browsers don't like if one of them is in capitals IMG and the other one in lower case img.Also, have you tried to put it in the signature without the height attribute? And if you post the gif in a post, does it show then? Do you have an AD blocking software installed (such as AD block plus), is it possible that you blocked the image by mistake?
I'm glad you got it back. I've been following the thread and use Firefox on my HP laptop and it's been there all the time. Frustration builds with these odd little quirks and spontaneous changes when the site coding seems to go wonkity.

Wounds and Injuries
An injury is damage to your body. It is a general term that refers to harm caused by accidents, falls, hits, weapons, and more. In the U.S., millions of people injure themselves every year. These injuries range from minor to life-threatening. Injuries can happen at work or play, indoors or outdoors, driving a car, or walking across the street.
Wounds are injuries that break the skin or other body tissues. They include cuts, scrapes, scratches, and punctured skin. They often happen because of an accident, but surgery, sutures, and stitches also cause wounds. Minor wounds usually aren't serious, but it is important to clean them. Serious and infected wounds may require first aid followed by a visit to your doctor. You should also seek attention if the wound is deep, you cannot close it yourself, you cannot stop the bleeding or get the dirt out, or it does not heal.
Other common types of injuries include:
- Animal bites
- Bruises
- Burns
- Dislocations
- Electrical injuries
- Fractures (broken bones)
- Sprains and strains

ICD-9 Footnotes
General Equivalence Map Definitions
The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
- Approximate Flag - The approximate flag is on, indicating that the relationship between the code in the source system and the code in the target system is an approximate equivalent.
- No Map Flag - The no map flag indicates that a code in the source system is not linked to any code in the target system.
- Combination Flag - The combination flag indicates that more than one code in the target system is required to satisfy the full equivalent meaning of a code in the source system.
Index of Diseases and Injuries Definitions
- And - The word "and" should be interpreted to mean either "and" or "or" when it appears in a title.
- Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
- Code first - Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.
- Type 1 Excludes Notes - A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- Type 2 Excludes Notes - A type 2 Excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
- Includes Notes - This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- Inclusion terms - List of terms is included under some codes. These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified" code in the Tabular List.
- NOS "Not otherwise specified" - This abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified.
- See - The "see" instruction following a main term in the Alphabetic Index indicates that another term should be referenced. It is necessary to go to the main term referenced with the "see" note to locate the correct code.
- See Also - A "see also" instruction following a main term in the Alphabetic Index instructs that there is another main term that may also be referenced that may provide additional Alphabetic Index entries that may be useful. It is not necessary to follow the "see also" note when the original main term provides the necessary code.
- 7th Characters - Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
- With - The word "with" should be interpreted to mean "associated with" or "due to" when it appears in a code title, the Alphabetic Index, or an instructional note in the Tabular List. The word "with" in the Alphabetic Index is sequenced immediately following the main term, not in alphabetical order.

Radiata Pine S4S Trim Boards
Radiata Pine S4S Trim Product Specifications:
• Grade: Claymark C Select Finish Grade
• Texture: Sanded on Four Sides (S4S).
• Drying Type: Kiln-Dried
• Recommended Fastener: Stainless Steel Finish Nail
• Typical Weight: 1.5 lbs per board foot.
• Dimensions: Our trim boards are cut to Standard Dimensions, which means that the board's finished dimensions will be slightly smaller than its nominal dimensions. For example, a finished 1x4 S4S trim board will net ¾" x 3 ½".
• Shipping Options: Flat-bed tractor trailer, Roll Back, LTL Carrier. Shipping method is determined based on location and order size to minimize cost.
Coverage Calculations:
You can calculate the coverage for the amount of trim needed for your project by using our Tips page: How Do I Determine How Much Lumber I Need? Please call us if you would like a free takeoff for your project as well.
Our Kiln Dried Radiata Pine S4S Trim is ready for installation once received on your jobsite. However, wood will shrink and swell with any changes in moisture content and weather. To minimize dimensional change after installation, install Radiata Pine at a moisture content that matches with local climate as closely as possible. If climate in a particular region causes wood to maintain 8% to 13% moisture content annually, then the most ideal trim would be installed at a moisture content within that range, and the material would be stored, stickered and protected for a week to ten days prior to application.
With any unfinished interior wood, applying a quality finish to all surfaces (including the ends) is recommended. An interior finish protects the wood from moisture absorption and UV degradation, and helps prevent any finger stains caused by touching the unfinished wood. On occasion, the trim boards may have a mill glaze that is produced when the material is manufactured through the planer. When mill glaze occurs, it is recommended to remove it by sanding prior to staining or clear coating the wood. Sanding is not recommended as a first option unless every piece is sanded. We offer a wide selection of Water Based Interior Finishes that we can recommend based on the final sheen level and look that is desired. Most interior finishes do not have to be re-coated or reapplied depending on the UV exposure to your home. You can find all of the interior stains and finish products that we carry at our Interior Stains page
Storage Prior To Application:
Until installed, all radiata pine needs protection from direct sunlight, water saturation, snow, ice, dirt, and other elements. Ideally, the trim boards should be stored in an enclosed building such as a garage prior to use. It is best to store the trim boards flat and off the ground with a vapor barrier so that moisture is not absorbed through the bottom boards of the stack. If stored outside, the siding should be protected with a waterproof covering elevated in the center so that water does not pool on the cover. We also recommend that you do not completely seal the bundle, as good air circulation is required to prevent any blue stain or molding.
