Spotting tells is one of the hardest, but most useful, skills in Texas hold ‘em, and all of poker, even online poker. Usually if you are playing in a online casino or card room there are a number of things you can do to spot a tell. I find that, most times, if a player is staring you down intently as you decide whether to call his bet, raise or fold, it means he wants you to fold and is staring to show a sign of strength. He likely is bluffing. Another one is if someone goes back and checks his hole cards two or three times. It means he was on a draw of some sort and is likely trying to see if he hit his straight or flush. However, none of these apply to the world of online poker. Physical tells are impossible to read on online because, well, you can’t see the person you are playing against. The only way to really spot a tell is by bet size, and this takes a lot of observation. If someone often makes a bet less than the size of the pot, are they doing so to draw people into the hand or because they’re bluffing and don’t want to lose too many chips to a reraise? This is something you’ll have to monitor to find out. Different players will best different ways in certain situations. But really, the main thing I would advise is to just play a little tighter online when you first sit at a table, until you can figure out people’s betting habits. Than you can win a lot of money.

Many public universities play the “Low Expectation Game” (see article “College ‘Low Expectations Game’ Cost Students, Parents & Taxpayers Thousands of Dollars”). As a student or a parent, you can avoid this game using the following tips:

Tip #1 - Register for 15 hours.

To graduate in 4 years, not 5 not 6, requires a minimum of 15 hours per semester. If you are having problems securing 15 hours, ask the following question: Since I am earning a 4-year degree, how can I do that only taking 12 hours per semester? If the university’s designated person continues to refuse your request for 15 hours, ask for his or her supervisor. By being proactive at this time, will save you thousands of dollars.

Tip #2 - Secure Your BINGO sheet.

When registering, secure a copy of all the required courses that you will need for your field of study. In some colleges or universities, this is called a BINGO sheet. If you are unsure, look through the college course catalog and see what courses are required for your different interests. Register for those shared required courses.

Tip #3 - Keep all Course Schedules and Offerings.

Universities publish the schedule of the courses for the next semester. Do not discard these publications. With many courses being only offered during the spring or fall, this is the only tool that you have to learn when a specific course is offered or who teaches a course. Keeping these schedules becomes even more critical when you are planning your junior and senior years.

Tip #4 - Plan Your Courses Now.

With the BINGO sheet in hand, begin to plan the courses that you will take during the next 3.5 years. This plan will change due to course changes, degree changes, etc. However, this 4-year plan provides you with the “BIG” picture and then allows you to begin to take small bites.

Tip #5 - Plan Your Weekly Schedule.

Plan your weekly schedule including study time, research time, etc. For each 3-hour course, expect to spend 2 to 4 hours per week. Some courses such as English Literature may require substantial reading. If you are a slower reader allow for more reading time. If you are only going to school for 15 hours per week, there is plenty of time to study before, in between and after your classes. Many baby boomer graduates worked full time jobs while taking 15 to 18 hours.

Tip #6 - Focus on Your Graduation Goal Date.

Every additional semester that you spend in college is costing you a minimum of $20,000 - $5,000 tuition and $15,000 in loss earnings. All of your actions should be directed to achieving your graduate goal date.

Tip #7 - Make Wise Choices.

You, and only you, are responsible for the choices that you make. For parents, set the expectation that you expect your daughter or son to graduate in 4 years. Students accept that expectation and run with it. If you are having trouble with time management, goal planning and achievement, studying skills, course content, decision making or problem solving, make a wise choice and find some solutions.

Remember, by graduating in 4 years, you have an edge over those students who chose to play the “Low Expectation Game” and you can start the life that you dreamed only 4 years earlier.

I have compiled a list of the most import things every World of Warcraft player should know and follow. I have broken it down and listed what I think is the top five.

1.) Read your Quest Journal

Now we hate to snipe here, people, but the “L” key on your keyboard opens up your Quest Journal. This handy little item contains literally all the information you need to solve whatever quest your given. Check it early and check it often because if you’re cluttering up the “General” chat channel asking “Where’s the Wailing Caverns?” 47 times not only will you learn all sorts of new Azerothian insults, but when you eventually find the place, it’s not going to win you any friends when you start looking for a group to explore with. Your Quest Journal has directions so precise they make MapQuest look vague. So to avoid this situation just read your Quest Journal.

2.) The City Guards are your friends - use them well.

This is kind of an adjunct to the whole “Read your Quest Journal” thing, but the other thing that clogs up the general chat channels is people asking for directions in the hub cities. Fortunately Blizzard has come up with a simple solution - just ask a city guard! They’ll give you directions to everything in the city and even provide you with a little flag in your mini-map! You know, the employment situation in Azeroth must be pretty bad when you consider that most of these guards are level 75 or so and can easily wipe out virtually every monster in the game and they’re taking the time out of their busy schedule to help you. The least you can do use their services. I don’t even think they get paid!

3.) Every trade skill has a complement.

Players can only learn two “professional” trade skills (Fishing, Cooking, First Aid and a few others). Be aware that with the exception of Enchanting and Tailoring, every trade skill has a “gathering” skill and a “crafting” skill. Blacksmithing, for example, requires raw materials that can only be retrieved by Mining. Be sure you select the appropriate skill; otherwise you will end up buying raw materials at auction or trying to trade your raw materials for finished goods.

4.) The Num Lock key is your auto run.

This should be obvious, but you’d be surprised how many players forget to use their auto run. Auto run is your best friend. During long runs you can be checking your quest log, your inventory, or chatting with friends. Use it!

5.) Control your Pets!

This, of course, only applies to pet classes (Warlocks and Hunters), but if we had a gold piece for every Warlock and Hunter who left his pet on “Aggressive” we would all have a lot of gold pieces. Your pets are tools. They’re used for very specific purposes. Putting them on Aggressive lets them attack indiscriminately and can draw a lot more monster attention than your group is ready to deal with. All too often a pet on the loose means death for the group and a long, boring corpse run.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking at Rutgers University in front of around 150 high school students, which was a lot better than speaking behind them. The subject was humor columns, so it goes without saying that walruses came up multiple times. I mean, so many times that I completely lost track. Like, at least seven times. As is evident from my enthusiasm, I felt proud to include walruses because they are left out of so many aspects of society: sleep-overs, camping trips, and even games of Monopoly, which is a shame because I think they’d be pretty good at it…

But then it happened. When the speech ended, I was approached by a girl who told me that her friend did not know what a walrus was. My immediate thought was that maybe she was kidding. She had to be, right? I mean, these are walruses we’re talking about here, not some unpopular animal like a dog or a cat. But she was not kidding at all, so I needed to resort to explaining characteristics of a walrus:

They’re like seals but with fangs, I first told her.

And they have whiskers, I added, and they are really heavy and live in the water.

But she still was not familiar with it, despite my very vivid details. In retrospect, maybe I should have mentioned that a walrus is a lot like Toys ‘R Us but with an incorrectly spelled wall replacing the toys. However, I don’t know if that would have worked either. Alas, she walked away telling me that she would look it up on Google. While I am glad she will finally get her answer as to the definition of a walrus, and will hopefully even get to see a walrus wearing a dress, it makes me think that none of us — and I do mean none of us — have done our job of correctly promoting walruses…

So with that, I plan to change everything. And I don’t mean that I will convert all of my dollars into quarters; I mean that I will do whatever I can to inform people of the past, present and future of walruses. I will tell them of their many purposes: opening cans, playing whisker violins and even serving as very large paper weights for when a rock simply won’t cut it. A year from now, or maybe even tomorrow, I want to be able to stand at a random street corner — preferably one where there is no crime taking place — and yell out “walrus!” and someone will yell back to me that a walrus would be a great letter opener or that a walrus could be a state senator if not for its inability to speak, or sign documents, or use ATM machines, among other minor technicalities…

And when all is said and done, if one walrus comes up to me to shake my hand and thank me, then I will know my time has been well spent…

But I digress.

Patience may be a virtue, but laughter is the only way to survive goat milking. You can strive for the perfect fencing. You must aim for good nutrition. But, don’t kid yourself. When it comes to milking, you do not get the last word.

When I decided to add milk goats to my backyard farm I envisioned pitchers of milk cooling in the fridge while cheddar rounds age in my cellar. Spirit, my first nanny, had other ideas. There is an old saying I just made up: “Don’t expect instant gratification from your very first dairy goat lactation.” Like dating, expecting nothing is the first step toward not being let down. Perseverance is the next step toward surviving goats with your sanity moderately intact.

Spirit proved mutinous in milking. Even with twins at her side, she had ample milk to share. Generosity was simply not her forte. However, like falling off a bike or getting thrown from your horse, when you find a goat leg lodged in your right ear, you must climb right back on. To help other potential farmers deal with inevitable frustration, I have provided the following journal. It documents my first full month of milking Spirit. From this draw hope. There is light at the end of the nipple.

Day 1: Leashed goat runs around tie post kicking and bucking. Never got near the teat.

Day 2: Build “EZ One Hour Goat Milking Stand” from online instructions. Define five hours in hell.

Day 3: Adjust Goat Milking Stand so goat’s big fat head will fit through the stocks into the feed box.

Day 4: Adjust Goat Milking Stand so goat’s skinny little head will not retreat from feed box out through the stocks.

Day 5: Collect 3.5 tsp. milk from flailing goat on milking stand.

Day 6: Ditto.

Day 7: Tether goat’s leg. Goat kicks loose in .3 seconds.

Day 8: Tether goat’s leg better. Goat kicks loose dumping over 3.5 tsp. of milk.

Day 9: Try new tethering technique. Collect entire ounce of milk. Goat’s effort to kick loose succeeds only after she sheds 3.5 tsp. of hair into the shot glass of milk.

Day 10: Go to store. Buy milk.

Day 11 - 14: Discouraged. Just squirt some milk straight onto the milking stand so that the apparently dwindling right teat stays active.

Day 15: Goat now standing still while I collect three ounces of milk. Then the cantankerous witch sticks her foot in it.

Day 16 - 18: Ditto, ditto and ditto.

Day 19: Right teat has all but vanished.

Day 20: Right teat empty.

Day 21: Spirit’s legal team serves me with papers declaring her functional left teat off limits and for her babies only.

Day 22 - 23: Practice milking technique while coaxing droplets from withered right teat.

Day 24: Have mastered milking with right hand while my left hand holds the receptacle up, dodging the maniacal wenches attempts put her foot in the milk. Net bounty from flat tit approx 1.4 oz. Note: Goat still shedding.

Day 25-26: Milk rations slightly increasing. Goat and cottonwood trees now both shedding into the milk receptacle.

Day 27: Babies distract me by biting my shirt while I am milking. Spirit’s foot returns to the milk receptacle.

Day 28: Babies adamant about eating my clothes while I milk. I steal milk from their precious left teat.

Day 29: Babies try to distract me by eating my hair. I try to ignore them. Goat flinches. My foot avoider reflex overcompensates, hurling the milk directly inside my protective LASIK goggles. Startled by my French, both babies run off in opposite directions with my hair still in their mouths.

Day 30: And the beat goes on.

Day 31: Average daily yield now totals around 10 oz. Source: two milkings per day from 1.2 tits.

Remember, when the day comes, and it will, where you just walk up to your nanny and quickly squirt a little milk straight into your morning coffee then wander off sobbing, bear in mind with a little patience, all this can be yours. Oh boy!

Saltwater fishing requires a slightly different array of bait to make the catch. There is a vast variety of bait out there, and different fish species will bite different things, so it is important to cater to the one you want to catch. Prawns and shrimp work well to catch flounder, snapper, cod or redfish; live baitfish like the yellow tail and mullet will help you reel in tuna, cods and mackerel. Overall, the best bait to use in saltwater fishing is shrimp, since almost all species will be tempted to take a bite. In addition, you may want to try smaller baitfish, since all larger saltwater fish prey on smaller species for food. Always match the size of your bait to the size of your hook so you don’t overdo it and let the fish get away with a piece of the food without catching onto your hook. Putting small bait on a large hook looks unnatural so that is also a factor to consider in your choice of bait. Your best bet to get the fish to bite is to use bait that is part of the fish’s daily diet, but if you are unsure or don’t have a particular species in mind the bait mentioned above is a good choice. As with freshwater fishing, ask for advice from an experienced angler, as you can then get advice specific to the water you will be fishing in. For fishing forums, blogs, saltwater fishing pictures and articles visit FishingRecreation.com.

Most bait stores sell all varieties of baits to help you catch what you are looking for. Initially, it may be preferable to experiment with various types of live bait and artificial ones to determine what the fish in that area prefer. Once you have the bait that will get you the best results, remember to keep your hooks sharp and hide as much of them as possible under your bait. Refer to local fishing laws to know if it is allowed to free unused bait into the lake when freshwater fishing, and when fishing in saltwater change your bait every twenty to thirty minutes to keep the smell fresh and attract more fish.

On the assumption you do not comprehend betting saloon risks and chances, then you’ll find more about that here.

In the name of clarity, a gaming establishment is a structure that focuses on friendly gambling. Visitors will take a wager handling coin operated machines or a slew of other pastimes of luck. Betting saloon games normally have logically derived percentages included that ensure the betting organization preserves an against the gaming aficionados.

Frequently gambling house games may cause you to get overly obsessed very rapidly. Let’s examine the quintessential one armed bandit, a cash operated instrument with three, sometimes more gears which gyrate once a knob on the side is pushed. This machine routinely remits referring to a row of pictograms shown on the front of the gadget. Regretfully, betting establishment pastimes strive to create a fantasy of supremacy, thereby hoodwinking the gambling devotee — the addressee is presented with judgments, but these won’t truly nix the gamer’s longterm negative odds. This is caused by the the betting room not refunding the entire wager as expected. This tactic is often noticeable in well-known casino games such as five-card stud, dice games, roulette or blackjack. Five card stud is certainly a highly popular casino pastime. The customers, holding partially covered cards, are betting in a principal pot that is ultimately given to the last punter enjoying the highest combination of cards. (Of course, the bluffer may well prevail)

Analogous to seven-card stud, blackjack is likewise an incredibly popular casino game. Plenty of its appeal is due to the mix of chance and proficiency & decision making, and a procedure named card counting. It is a pretty complex technique through which gamblers may significantly bend the winning odds of the card game in their favor by both wagering and systematic opetations in accordance with the cards dealt.

“Craps” is a well known gambling hall wagering game making use of the throw of dice. Bettors are betting on the result of 1 roll, or on a string of rolls on 2 dice. Dissimilar to blackjack, there isn’t any credible sustainable winner system punters could cash in on to beat the odds.

Roulette is another eminently popular casino based game of chance; a croupier turns a roulette wheel enclosing a set of exactly 37 (European roulette) or, respectively exactly 38 (American roulette) differently numbered slots in which a tossed ball will come to a stop, which will be the winner and the other connected sequences. Supposing that a participant happens to bet on a number which is successful so they are really enjoying a lucky hand, the promised benefit will be thirty five to one, the initial stake proper is paid out. Indeed in total it’s increased by thirty six.

So be emphatically wary as the majority of of betting establishment games of chance are especially dependency forming. There’s far too many lives that are reported to have been wrecked by inordinate gambling & although it undeniably can be enjoyable, endeavor to govern your play.

Local author J. Peter Yakel has released a hilarious fiction tale with roots to a number of localities and landmarks about New York’s Capitaland area. Notable places mentioned in the comedy adventure include the towns of Berne, Knox, Westerlo, Cambridge, Cobleskill and Greenville, as well as Albany and Schoharie counties. In addition, the well-worn paths of Delaware Turnpike and Route 85, the fine hunting grounds of Partridge Run, and the prominent ’stone wall’ of Westerlo weave their way into the pages of the book as well. Says the author, “People write about what they know. My capital district roots are deep and they stretch back more than 150 years, so choosing to include parts of our local geography in the story was a natural extension of how I conceived the development of The Legend of Juggin Joe.”

The author describes his story as an over-the-top adventure with a special twist. Not only is it tied to Capitaland, but his unconventional writing style gives the book its unique flair. “The entire story is written in my own brand of ‘country-speak’. I’ve never seen or read a book written anything like it, which is part of the reason why I chose to create it. The great thing about the dialogue is that it makes the adventure so much fun to read, and it actually draws readers into the story.”

Yakel concedes that, for some readers, the Juggin Joe story may only be a lightweight outlet for laughter. He’s fine with that - after all, it is a humor book…But the self-published author adds, “There’s a lot bubbling just below the surface of Westerlo’s topsoil. Scratch the surface of this country knee-slapper, and you’ll quickly see what I mean.”

The book tells the story of how a mischievous boy, born and bred in the close-knit town of Westerlo, acquires the musical gift of jug blowing, and quickly rockets to international celebrity as “Juggin Joe”. Unfortunately, his iconic rise to music stardom is stymied by the shared sorrow he and his forbidden love interest, Florentine, endure. Her daddy, (who is also the town Parson), disapproves of the fledgling courtship and disallows it. Saddled with heartache bigger’n the Heldebergs, Joe walks away from his brilliant music career, and joins the Federal Army. Shipped overseas, the young man loses the relative safety of home and family for which he cares so much. Almost as quickly, Fate steps in and brings the music star-turned-soldier face-to-face with the most powerful man on the planet. With his superiors caught in a seemingly hopeless entertainment bind, Joe offers his juggin talents. In short order, he’s back in the spotlight, whoopin’ it up for the Commander-in-Chief. Afterward, a discussion between the straight talking country boy and his President has the effect of altering the global balance of power!

International reviews of the book have been strong and positive, says Yakel. He adds, “I am particularly pleased with the review of Viviane Crystal (www.crystalreviews.com), who said, ‘…this writer who has created a unique style of “country speak” dialogue and storytelling that is quaint and entertaining without the need for the raging dysfunctional status besetting so much of contemporary fiction.’ Her read of the book was spot-on. I hope more people enjoy the humor of Juggin Joe, especially my friends and neighbors around Capitaland.”

The Legend of Juggin Joe (ISBN 1-4116-2588-9) is available for purchase on the world-wide-web, by logging onto: http://www.lulu.com/yakel or by visiting the following Capitaland NY stores: Borders of Colonie, Borders of Clifton Park; The Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza; or I Love Books, Inc. of Delmar.

J. Peter Yakel is a freelance writer and author of three books. His articles have appeared in publications such as Communications Technology, The Pipeline, and Army Reserve Magazine. Joe’s works have also been highlighted on USAWOA Online, USAR Online, and other Internet websites.
