"I grew up in an Indian neighborhood in Canada. I loved the food. When I moved here to Berlin I missed it. So I went to study in India. It took a lot of time to adapt the recipes."
A real tandoori oven
"It’s a very complicated oven actually. The inside and the outside are made in India, but the electrical and exhaust components are made here in Germany. Then it’s all assembled in India.
Not a lot of people have this oven. It’s not easy to get, and it’s not easy to move around. It weighs more than 350kg. I bring it every week to Markthalle IX.
I learned to make the dough in India, but here the flour is different, and the temperature is different, so I have to modify it to work here."

Shooting hoops is essential to acquire matches in NBA 2K Coins. If you want to land guaranteed shots, then it is most effective for players to practice creating the perfect shot launch, otherwise known as green releases.
Green release shots come in NBA 2K18, allowing you to score ensured hoops. Basically, you need to know and practice the ideal shot release timing for each sort of habit jumpshot. Simply flick the right rod or press the shot button and then release it at the peak of your shooter meter. Do it right and you’ll land a green discharge.
Sounds simple? Well, there are plenty of signature jumpshots from the sport, which makes it hard to get a good release time constantly when playing the whole team. Additionally, green sparks in NBA 2K18 are no longer solely based on discharge time, so you will also need to prepare the perfect shot.
Instead of being placed under your player’s legs, then the shooter meter at NBA 2K18 can be found together with your participant’s body. This brand new shot meter position can help you view both the shooter meter and the posture of your character while he’s making the shot. This was done since you may also trust the position of your character for the shot timing.
Besides the shot meter, your control will also vibrate throughout every shot to signify the perfect release timing. This is quite helpful when attempting to obtain a good release time during layups, considering that this movement doesn’t exhibit a shot meter.
Green release shots are simply the be-all-end-all of hardcore players that want to ensure they make every shot count. You could even score even in the event that you don’t make a green release. The top center portion of the screen indicates that your shooter release performance. The self-explanatory shot release results comprise perfect, great, somewhat early, somewhat late, very ancient, and quite late.
Last, it’s worth noting that NBA 2K18 MT‘s double green discharge shot won’t return this season. In retrospect, NBA 2K17 allowed players to increase their shot percentage by flicking the right stick in-line with the center-most arrow at the shot meter.

Locate your pot filled with water and let’s get brewing!Fall Brew Infusion
- Apple slices
- Cinnamon sticks

Flu Fighter Infusion
Cutting down on sugary food is better for your health as well. These are things such as candy bars, pastries, chocolate, cookies, cakes, and jelly donuts. Not only do they not fill you up, they cause you to want to eat more due to the sugar rush. Go for healthy snacks instead like fruits, salads, pure juices, and unprocessed foods.

This is one of my favorite teas to make. If you have a garden and grow your own herbs simply use whichever ones you have at hand. Bring them to a boil in a large pot and let them steep for at least an hour. This tea is more on the bitter side, however, jam packed with healing properties from the steeped herbs of your choosing.
Fruit Peel Infusion
Use the peel from fruits to create a delicious citrus infusion. Make sure the peels are cleaned before, bring water to a boil, steep, and strain before serving.

The Festival des Arts Saint-Sauveur was launched as the Festival des Arts Hiawatha by Montréal businessman Lou Gordon in summer 1992 and took its current name in in 1997. The mandate of this festival is to support the creation of and promote the arts of dance and music by presenting performances featuring top-calibre local and international artists. The festival targets a wide audience and thus constitutes an important cultural institution that attempts to make dance and music accessible to all.
In summer 1992, the Festival des Arts Hiawatha got off to a big start in its first season, offering three weeks of dance and music performances that included the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and such top names in the dance world as Anik Bissonnette, Louis Robitaille and Margie Gillis. The festival’s first three seasons were such a success with audiences that as it hosted its summer 1996 season, it began to broaden its horizons. In summer 1997, as its cultural impact far exceeded the limits of its new location, the Festival des arts de Saint-Sauveur began its new adventure under its new name. Inside a new 450-seat festival tent, its artists, artisans, dancers, and musicians welcomed an audience of over 15,000 that season. Flush with this success, the following year, the festival took place in an air-conditioned, 700-seat tent. Ever since, the festival has continued to receive high praise. It has become a top quality, can’t-miss cultural event, by virtue both of the renowned dancers and musicians who grace its stage and the way that it makes the performing arts accessible to the general public.
The festival expresses this spirit of public outreach through the free shows that it presents on its big outdoor stage, as well as through its youth and children’s programming and the pre-performance talks that let audiences learn more about the dance companies that they will be seeing and the works that will be performed. Another initiative much appreciated by audiences is that after each performance, they can meet and talk with the choreographer and the dancers and musicians.
Since its earliest beginnings, the Festival des Arts de Saint-Sauveur has hosted numerous star dancers and renowned dance companies, such as the Danse Théâtre de Montréal, the St. Petersburg Ballet, the Royal Swedish Ballet, the José Greco Flamenco Dance Company, the Hungarian National Ballet, and the Kirov Ballet. Audiences at the Kirov’s performances were enraptured by its star ballerina, the divine Diana Vishneva.
In 2001, the festival hosted the Canadian premiere of the Complexions Contemporary Ballet from New York City, a troupe of 22 star dancers from the greatest American dance companies. In 2003, it was the National Theatre Ballet of Prague’s turn to wow festival audiences. In 2005, famed Canadian dancer Annick Bissonnette became the festival’s artistic director. That was also the Year of China, and to celebrate it, the festival presented the North American premiere of China’s Guangzhou Ballet Troupe. In 2006, Anik Bissonnette’s ballet Kylian le grand was presented at the festival to great success and critical acclaim. (It subsequently toured Québec and the rest of Canada.) In 2007, the energetic Rubberbandance Group took the festival stage. And in 2011, to celebrate the festival’s 20th anniversary, the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, and 3e étage (a troupe of dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet) gave performances that left the festival’s loyal audiences in awe.
Over the years, a wide range of singers, instrumental soloists, and vocal and instrumental ensembles have graced the stages of the Festival des Arts de Saint-Sauveur, in all kinds of concerts and other performances. The festival has hosted The Canadian Brass, the Orchestre métropolitain, the Ensemble Amati, the Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir, students from the Canadian Vocal Arts Institute, and many others from many different countries. Other notable Canadian musical ensembles that have appeared at the festival include Les Violons du Roy and I Musici. In 2008, the festival presented the concert version of the musical comedy Le Petit Roi. Opera singer Gino Quilico and jazz pianist Oliver Jones have also performed at the festival, as has the Chicago Children's Choir.
In 1997, to encourage and recognize musical creativity, the festival launched its International Musical Composition and Choreography Competition. The winners of that first year’s competition received their awards at a ceremony the following year.
The Festival des Arts de Saint-Sauveur has won the Grand Prix du Tourisme des Laurentides (Festivals and Events Category) twice, in 2006 and 2007. It has also received the 2009 Prix Ambassadeur culturel des Laurentides, in recognition of the quality of its programming and its support for creative artists.


"Live to fight another day"
This is the advice which social media say the U.S. Government is today giving to the Zelensky regime in Kiev. It follows by a day or two the public release by German intelligence operatives of their own assessment of the latest course of the war, saying that the stubborn resistance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to advancing Russian ground units in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), just as the defense of Soledar (lost to the Russians a week ago) was and is a death trap set by the Russians for the Ukrainians. As the U.S. overlords understand today, continued losses of Ukrainian forces in these hopeless PR stunts are compromising any chances of their making a spring counteroffensive when the advanced military gear now being shipped to them arrives and is put into the field.
What conclusion can we reach from “withdraw from Artyomovsk”? Very simply that the notion of 1:1 death and ingured rates that the Anglosaxon news disseminators have been shouting for weeks to slant the news towards some “stalemate” between the opposing sides is pure nonsense. It would be safer to follow the figures put out by the Russian military, which indicate a 10:1 imbalance in casualties on the Ukrainian side.
Meanwhile, the big news in the past 24 hours was the meeting of the Ukraine Contact Group in the German army base at Ramstein. This was most notable for the failure of the defense ministers of the 50 participating countries to reach any agreement over delivery of tanks to the Ukrainians. Tanks are allegedly needed to support Ukraine’s spring counter offensive, with the objective not merely to push back the Russians to the line of demarcation in Donbas prior to the start of the Special Military Operation, but even to recapture the Crimea.
The central issue at Ramstein was German Chancellor Scholz’s refusal to send in German Leopard heavy tanks or to allow the many NATO countries where Leopards are held in the inventory to send any of their tanks to Kiev. Scholz is said to insist the Americans first ship their own Abrams tanks to Kiev before Germany will lift a finger. And why is he being so stubborn in resisting all the jackal states in NATO on this very issue? Western reports say he is fearful of leading the pack on delivery of tanks and incurring special Russian wrath.
Let us decode this message: the German chancellor is not some indecisive imbecile, as our newspapers hint. No, he is a cunning fox who is unwilling to allow Washington to send him and Europe to hell in what could easily become a Russia-NATO hot war if the Russian red lines forbidding heavy armaments deliveries are crossed.
So all the Ukrainians will get by way of new weapon systems as per the decisions announced yesterday in Ramstein are token deliveries of armored personnel carriers and armored machine gun and cannon vehicles that one might just call light tanks. That and a lot more howitzers of every variety coming from several different NATO countries.
But in terms of the big picture, what difference would tanks make? The vision of big tank warfare across the Ukrainian steppes that underlies the Washington war scenario is fallacious. As I have pointed out repeatedly, despite the lies and PR blasts from Washington and London, the war is being fought according to the Russian scheme, not the U.S. scheme.
We have heard how poorly the Russians coordinate air and ground. We have heard how they just cannot put together any good shock and awe. But this is beside the point. The Russians are waging an artillery war for good reasons: they have the world’s largest manufacturing industry of cannon, multi-rocket field launchers and munitions and they are waging a war of attrition on the ground which can only favor their armies.
If the slaughter of Ukrainians continues at its present rate, if the United States and its allies cannot ramp up munitions production, if the destruction of the Ukrainian energy infrastructure continues, if the logistics for conveying Western military supplies to the front are further impaired, then the Russians will find themselves against a disarmed Ukrainian army some time in the early spring, and they may get the capitulation they seek without shock and awe heroics.
I think this is a good plan. No more throwing Ukraine troops at Russia just to get killed and hopefully there will be a sane response to end this war and no more lives are wasted. Biden’s handlers who are actually running the Biden administration thought that Russia would fight like America did in the Iraq war with lots of shock and awe and senseless destruction of infrastructure and innocent civilian lives. Russia has said from the get go that people in Ukraine are not their enemy and more like their brothers.
And as for why this is taking Russia so long is two fold. One reason is because Ukraine had 8 years to build up defenses and second is because Russia values its soldier’s lives.
Here is some video of the defenses Russia is facing.

Also if you missed it here is Big Serge on what is happening in the Donbas. Lots of people are posting his essay including b from MoA which gives it high praise.
One thing to keep in mind is what will happen if it looks like Russia is going to meet their objectives. Already there is talk of helping Ukraine retake Crimea. Will that mean that NATO will send its own troops to help Ukraine? Right now there are 100,000 American troops in Europe and lots of military equipment is being sent there including more nuclear weapons. NATO recently held a nuclear war game close to Russia. Maybe the Biden classified documents scandal will see him stepping down and someone more sane will become president.
Everything you said since WW2 became a joke when you invaded Yugoslavia you dope! Then you added on with the invasion of Iraq and your shock and awe! If Putin needs to be charged for war crimes then so does Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden and probably every US president that supported the Monroe doctrine.
Theseare getting really desperate. pic.twitter.com/8SXVC9pM1n

Every congress member who supports this war should have to send their family to Ukraine if Biden puts boots on the ground!
The US empire is telling Moscow "I'm the craziest motherfucker around, I'll keep ramping up the brinkmanship looking you right in the eye and daring you to use nukes," while telling the rest of the world "I am the voice of sanity that you should all look to for leadership."

The Importance of Having a Gaming Room at Home
Having a dedicated space for relaxation and recreation has become increasingly essential in recent times. For many, the gaming room has emerged as a sanctuary—a place to unwind, connect with friends, and immerse oneself in a virtual realm.
This article explores the significance of having a gaming room at home, delving into the psychological, social, and practical benefits that such a space can offer.
A Personal Retreat
In the midst of the daily chaos, a gaming room serves as a personal retreat—a space tailored to individual preferences and designed for optimum comfort. It’s more than just a physical location; it’s a mental escape.
The ambiance, lighting, and sound systems can be customized, creating an immersive environment that transports gamers to alternate realities, allowing them to temporarily detach from the stresses of everyday life.
Transforming a mere room into a personal haven promotes overall well-being and mental rejuvenation.
An Entertainment Hub for the Entire Family
A gaming room isn’t limited to a specific gaming demographic—it caters to a diverse range of interests. From family-friendly adventures like Super Mario Odyssey and Minecraft to adrenaline-pumping races in Mario Kart that can involve players of all ages, the gaming room transforms into a shared space for joy and laughter.
For those seeking more strategic challenges, strategy games like Civilization VI offer a compelling experience that engages the entire family in epic battles for supremacy.
Moreover, the gaming room extends its allure beyond video games. Families can gather for a thrilling evening of board games or card games, fostering face-to-face interaction. For those feeling a bit more adventurous, trying your luck at online real money casinos can add an extra layer of excitement and friendly competition, making the gaming room a versatile entertainment hub for various interests.
Social Connection in a Digital Era
Contrary to the perception of gaming as a solitary activity, the gaming room can be a hub for social interaction. Online multiplayer games enable connections with friends or even strangers worldwide.
The gaming room becomes a virtual meeting place, fostering camaraderie and teamwork. It’s a modern social space where relationships are forged through shared adventures, creating bonds that extend beyond the digital realm. In an era dominated by screens, the gaming room stands as a testament to the evolving nature of social connection, bringing people together irrespective of physical distance.
Stress Relief and Improved Mental Well-being
Gaming has been proven to be an effective stress reliever. The immersive nature of video games can divert the mind from daily worries, offering a therapeutic escape.
The gaming room, equipped with ergonomic furniture and state-of-the-art gaming peripherals, enhances the overall experience: it becomes a space where individuals can recharge mentally, contributing to improved mental well-being.
Beyond the allure of digital landscapes, the tangible benefits extend to one’s day-to-day life, promoting a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
Boosting Creativity and Problem-Solving Skills
Video games often involve intricate storylines, puzzles, and challenges that require critical thinking. A well-designed gaming room can serve as a creative haven, stimulating the mind and enhancing problem-solving skills.
Engaging with diverse game genres exposes individuals to different scenarios, fostering adaptability and creativity. This cognitive stimulation is not only enjoyable but also contributes to personal growth and skill development. In a world where innovation is key, the gaming room becomes a training ground for the mind, honing skills that are applicable in various aspects of life.

I'm glad that an actor as good as Andre Braugher makes money acting in studio movies. It's too bad he doesn't get quality roles lately though. Rise of the Silver Surfer, The Andromeda Strain, Passengers... The Mist was closest to passable, I guess.
- Find Me Guilty - Lumet. Thumbs up. Uncharacteristically good role for Mr. Diesel.
- Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - Lumet. Thumbs up. Not as good though. Some of the efforts to be twisty seemed to be overdoing it.
- If I See Randy Again, Do You Want Me To Hit Him With The Axe? - Not great, but worth watching to add such a fine title to my list.
- Daughter - Not very scary, not very short scary short film. I suspect the creator of employing fake symbolism to appeal to professors, and since it got his career rolling, I guess it worked.
- Dear Zachary - a doc from the prestigious MSNBC films. Topped a number of 2008 best lists, went in (as I was told to, and as I generally prefer,) knowing nothing about the content of the movie. I think this is the correct approach, as the sucker-punching, jaw dropping reveal was very effective. Thumbs up.
- JCVD - Another one I recommend that you view in the same manner I did. In this case, that's bookended by 20 trailers from other JCVD movies and followed by one of his goofiest 90s flicks. Turns out the guy can do some acting, and the audience cheered at all the right parts. I'd like to see it again some time in fact. Thumbs up!
- Hulk Vs. - ...Thor was a lot better than ...Wolverine, which seemed to be animated to the quality standards of fan art. (Which they rub in by showing classic comic panels of each character at the end.) The Thor segment tells a story worthy of a saturday morning cartoon. The Wolverine segment pushes caricatures of some of the most deadly x-men characters around the screen, all carefully not harming one another. Omega Red has never seemed less scary. Thumbs down!
- The Beach - Not at all what I was expecting, which was something more Cast Away-ish. Very kinda okay, like lots of Boyle movies. Does Leonardo DiCaprio ever play a different character? He seems to turn up as the same guy an awful lot.
- Oktapodi - One of this year's Oscar nominees for animated short. Pretty good, but I'll tell you, not entirely realistic.
- Passengers - This movie finds a bush and then beats all around it for many hours. I wish I'd looked at the clock to make a note, but scanning back through the movie I'd say the 'Answer' (it's that sort of movie) occurred to me around 20 minutes in. And then, after another week or so of running time, they actually spent a full 10 minutes (no exaggeration) doing that 30-second flashback you usually get in these kind of movies that shows you all the clues we saw earlier, now in the light of the Answer's big reveal. I suspect that if you've got that much explaining to do, you might not have actually told a story with your interminable pile of scenes that came before. I like Anne Hathaway, but I kind of felt sorry for her each time her attempts to do acting smashed into the brick wall of a male lead again and again. (Here's hoping he doesn't drag down Watchmen too.) Despite a 4-second cameo by W. B. Davis, aka C.G.B. Spender, aka the Cigarette-Smoking-Man, thumbs down.
- Medal of Honor: Airborne - on the 360. In much the same way that coin-operated arcade games don't seem so long when you don't have to keep dropping quarters to continue playing, the single player 'campaign' mode of this game is around 5-6 hours of FPS gaming stretched double or triple through the saddling mechanism of the 360 controller. It's not a bad game, and you see all the battles one might expect whenever one fights World War II. This is a leftover from my suspiciously-good deal on a 360 console and games.
- 24 - For the first 6 hours of the new season, I'm enjoying the show. I liked how this year's conceit started out as Jack in the real world. The real world people are baffled by Jack's decisions, and the threats of the 24 supervillains. Jack's super powers don't seem to work on anyone except those villains, although he does seem to be able to infect real world people he meets, bringing them into the fold. For example, the FBI agent who finds his methods deplorable...until she gets a taste of them in action, and half an hour later, her previous moral compass has been thrown to the magnetic wolves. I think we did blatantly see a series of events from one perspective and then another though, and that the producers were telling us that 'real time' may not be as important anymore when the scientist kidnapped in the first 5 minutes of the season had managed to assemble the insanely powerful and useful technological macguffin in less than ten minutes.
On the topic of Improving My LA Experience, I may have found a solution to the unemployment thing, which seems to plaguing ever more folks around me every day; I'm pondering new living arrangements; I've dropped an improv group that wasn't working out so well for me; and I'm still working on Better Radio. This is taking longer than expected, as usual, between recasting, failed recording attempts, slow post production, and a difficulty in corralling a staff into one place and time. But every day, some new piece of the ten-episode puzzle falls into place. Today's piece of that puzzle? A fresh segment submission from that glittering jewel in the Italian crown, Z-Rob!

It was in the late 1980s, an era not typically thought of as a revolutionary one for women, that Anne Spilker's fate became clear.
In response to demand, courses in women's studies were springing up in universities across the country, and Malaspina College - now Vancouver Island University - was also getting in on the action.
It was during those first women's studies courses that Spilker realized that this was the area in which she wanted to do her life's work.
This year marks 35 years of service for the Haven Society, which has worked to improve the situation for women, youth and children who have experienced violence.
The society also has its roots at the university, starting as a project by four Malaspina students.
During research for a paper, they noticed a distinct lack of local services for women who were the victims of domestic violence, said Spilker, who served as the organization's executive director for the last six years.
At its inception in 1978, the organization simply consisted of a pager system and a series of 'safe houses' - basically people's homes - where women were sheltered.
At the same time Haven was getting on its feet, Spilker was completing her master's degree in social work at the University of Victoria.
Once her education was finished, she joined Haven to complete her practicum - and never left.
"It was very exciting, it was a very different workplace than what I was used to," said Spilker.
"For the people who work here, it's more than just a job. .. they live it in their lives, and there's something exciting about that."
Exposed to the gritty reality of violence that many women face, Spilker felt inspired by her new experiences to form an activist group outside of her work hours called POW - "Pissed Off Women," she said with a laugh.
They wrote letters and organized demonstrations, and embarked on actions that Spilker cryptically referred to as using their "feminist midnight renovation crew."
It wasn't a far cry from her childhood in Amsterdam, which was often characterized by an acute sense of concern for the plight of those more vulnerable than herself.
"I remember very clearly being on my bike and the tram was coming down the road and there was this pigeon on the tracks," she said with a smile.
She could see the pigeon was injured, so in a panic she jumped off her bike and ran in front of the tram to rescue it.
"I don't know how old I was, but I must have been quite young, because I can remember bringing the pigeon home and my mother being absolutely flabbergasted."
From there she grew into an intelligent and feisty teenager, and at the age of 13 lobbied her Christian high school to allow the female students to wear pants.
Their efforts, which involved going on strike from classes, ended in a standoff outside the school where Spilker and her friends did a sit-in - in pants.
"There was just a bunch of us who decided it was wrong, and my Dad agreed with me," she said.
The group ended up making history - at their school, anyway.
"I don't know how long we were out there for, but I just know we won."
By 16 she had taken to the streets with her friends in T-shirts and bell-bottoms, as they marched in pro-choice rallies, bodies painted with empowering slogans like 'I'm The Boss'.
It is from the vigour of such grassroots beginnings that organizations like the Haven Society have grown, said Spilker.
"It's a struggle we have, to keep those grassroots politics while at the same time having credibility with government and funders," she said.
Now on the cusp of her retirement, and nearing Haven's 36th year, Spilker said it is her hope that Haven's future work can expand to include more work on violence prevention.
Haven Society's 35th anniversary party is on Oct. 18 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Port Theatre. The event includes a performance, 'Not Another 35 Years' and is open to the public.

It was one of those findings that would change medicine, Dr. Christopher Lewandowski thought.
For years, doctors had tried — and failed — to find a treatment that would preserve the brains of stroke patients. The task was starting to seem hopeless: Once a clot blocked a blood vessel supplying the brain, its cells quickly began to die. Patients and their families could only pray that the damage would not be too severe.
But then a large federal clinical trial proved that a so-called clot-buster drug, tissue plasminogen activator, or TPA, could prevent brain injury after a stroke by opening up the blocked vessel. Lewandowski, an emergency medicine physician at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit and the trial's principal investigator, was ecstatic.
"We felt the data was so strong, we didn't have to explain it" in the published report, he said.
He was wrong. That groundbreaking clinical trial concluded 22 years ago, yet Lewandowski and others are still trying to explain the data to a powerful contingent of doubters.
The skeptics teach medical students that TPA is dangerous, causing brain hemorrhages, and that the studies that found a benefit were deeply flawed. Better to just let a stroke run its course, they say.
It's a perspective with real-world consequences. Close to 700,000 patients have strokes caused by blood clots each year and could be helped by TPA. Yet up to 30 percent of stroke victims who arrive at hospitals in time and are perfect candidates for it do not receive it.
The result: paralysis and muscle weakness; impaired cognition, speech or vision; emotional and behavioral dysfunction; and other permanent neurological injuries.
Stroke treatment guidelines issued by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association strongly endorse TPA for patients after they've been properly evaluated. But treatment must start within three hours (in some cases, 4?1/2 hours) of the stroke's onset — the sooner, the better.
A number of medical societies also endorse the treatment as highly effective in reducing disability. The drug can cause or exacerbate cerebral hemorrhage, or bleeding in the brain — a real risk. But in most stroke patients it prevents brain injury, and in any event, rates of cerebral hemorrhage have declined as doctors have gained experience over the years.
Without treatment, "many patients end up permanently disabled," said Dr. Gregg C. Fonarow, a cardiologist at the University of California at Los Angeles. "The stroke neurologists who are involved in chronic care see the devastating consequences.
"For some reason, the emergency medicine doctors are not factoring this in," he added.
While the vocal disbelievers are a minority, it is increasingly easy for them to spread their message on social media, said Dr. Edward C. Jauch, a professor of neurosciences at the Medical University of South Carolina.
"The way information and opinion is now communicated to the younger generation of physicians is much more through Web and social media and less through peer review journals, journal clubs or live debates," Jauch said.
Dr. Charles R. Wira III, a professor of emergency medicine at Yale, said that when he talked to residents about TPA, they often start citing blogs and podcasts "as the divine word for why TPA is harmful," he said. "They have not read the articles or practice guidelines."
Skepticism has spread around the world, Jauch said, and he has come to expect naysayers wherever he goes. In Saudi Arabia, where he was lecturing at a conference, a Saudi doctor said over dinner that he simply did not believe in TPA.
A leader of the skeptical contingent, Dr. Jerome Hoffman, an emergency medicine specialist and emeritus professor at UCLA, believes that while the initial trial and a second one were positive, both were flawed. And 11 other studies did not show a benefit, Hoffman says. But supporters note that those studies were meant to investigate whether TPA might help patients with more severe strokes or those outside the recommended window of time.
The failure of those efforts, they say, does not mean TPA cannot help patients like those in the original clinical trials.
A charismatic, riveting speaker, Hoffman has given educational courses across the country and sold informational tapes expounding his theory. And his influence has spread.
For neurologists, the worst scenario by far is the patient who is never even asked if he or she wants the clot-buster. At Yale, Wira said, patients sometimes are transferred from community hospitals where they have not received TPA. Usually, it's far too late to try.
Wira and other staffers do not tell the family about the missed opportunity. "We try not to raise issues that may lead to litigation," he said.
But sometimes family members cannot help knowing what went on. It happened to Lewandowski.
About a decade ago, Lewandowski was at work when he got a call that his father had had a stroke and that his right side was paralyzed. But his father had gotten to the hospital within 45 minutes, well inside the window to receive TPA.
Lewandowski told his mother to make the family's wishes very clear. They wanted the emergency room doctor to give the clot-buster to his dad. The doctor refused.
"He told my mom that he doesn't believe in the drug and he is not giving it. He doesn't care who I am," Lewandowski said.
"I got in my car and drove 400 miles to the hospital," he recalled. But by the time he got there, it was too late. The treatment window had closed.
His father had a facial droop and slurred speech. His right arm and right leg flopped about uselessly. His stroke scale was 7, moderately disabling, but he survived for a few more years.
"It was very difficult for me personally," Lewandowski recalled. "I had spent so much of my professional life working on this treatment. It actually worked."

The Delta Group, UK, has won the 3D POS category award in the recent Inca Digital Excellence Awards (IDEAs) for its fantasy walk-through display.
When NBC Universal wanted an innovative walk-through entrance for larger cinemas showing the Snow White film they turned to The Delta Group, UK.
‘The brief was to design and produce a large, dazzling, walk-through display which would introduce the characters to the audience and create the right atmosphere from the moment they walked into the cinema. The whole experience was enhanced with sounds and visual displays, including live action movie footage,’ said Adrian York, Snr Structural Designer, Structural Design, The Delta Group.
The main challenge was the large size of the pieces to be printed and the structural 3-D design of the final display. The print registration was also critical in order to produce an accurate print of the original artwork, as was the quality of finish. Delta printed eight displays in total, each made up of around sixty different elements, onto corrugated board, FBB and clear PVC on its Inca Columbia Turbo 4-colour inkjet flatbed printer.

PUYALLUP, Wash. (CBS/KVAL) An 18-year-old man who prosecutors in Washington state say raped and killed a 16-year-old developmentally-disabled girl entered a plea of not guilty on Tuesday.
Pierce County prosecutor Mark Lindquist says Tyler Savage strangled and raped Kimberly "Kimmie" Daily on Aug. 17 and then dumped her body in a thicket of bushes.
Kimmie, who functioned at the level of a 9-year-old due to a disability, disappeared Aug. 17 after leaving her home to ride her bike to a friend's house.
Lindquist said Savage, who was an acquaintance of Kimmie, lured the girl to an isolated area near her home and strangled her to death when she tried to leave.
Savage admitted to police of having sexual contact with Kimmie, Lindquist said.
Officials say Savage took sheriff's detectives to the body on Monday during questioning, and told investigators that that he dumped Kimmie's naked body in a thicket of blackberry bushes about 12 blocks from her house and threw her bicycle on top of her.
Savage told investigators that after the killing, he went to a neighbor's house to play video games.
Savage has been charged with aggravated first-degree murder. If convicted he could face the death penalty.

Francis Kano, a.k.a. Darkest Prince, first began thinking about Satan as a child. He was just 10 — years before discovering black metal and hardcore — and being raised as a devout Catholic in the countryside of Northern Ireland when his fascination with darkness emerged. "It's my only lifelong passion," the musician says now. "I grew up being obsessed with the occult."
That obsession is on full display in the frenzied, deeply musical attack and occult-laden aesthetic of his band, Devil Master, a Philadelphia-based group of corpse-painted ghouls who share at least some of Kano's beliefs. "I'm not up there killing goats," says the lead guitarist of their theatrical stage performances. "It doesn't work like that. It's a real thing to live by — a mindset as opposed to actions."
Their sound is equal parts black metal, horror fanaticism and genuine affection for Japanese hardcore from the 1980s, which has its own connection to the bleak and brutal in the hands of immortal Nippon punk acts G.I.S.M., Zouo, Mobs and Ghoul. It erupts with unholy excitement on Devil Master's debut album, Satan Spits on Children of Light, taking in a firestorm of eccentric sounds and styles, from creep-show punk to grinding surf riffs.
"Black metal does a really good job of conveying this occult atmosphere and a certain horror aesthetic that is appealing to anyone with a dark side, but these Japanese bands in the Eighties were wearing capes and face paint, singing about demons but playing metallic hardcore punk," says Kano. "Black metal doesn't own that. There are people who think that a stupid music genre owns the whole occult, which makes no sense at all. A musical trend will disappear eventually."
The six-person Devil Master became a band in late 2015, as each member adopted an ominous new name and persona: a singer called Disembody, Hades Apparition on rhythm guitar, Spirit Mirror on bass, Del on drums and newest member Dodder on keyboards. Onstage, those characters come to life further, first with just the face paint, but then with more elaborate, web-covered shows. As Darkest Prince, Kano says with a laugh, "I'm always trying to look like a psychedelic vampire."
"You can enter into this character, break free from being a human," Kano adds. "It's the same as watching a horror movie. When you have this theatrical element, it can get people into the same mental realm. It also helps that we're not some serious fake satanist black-metal band. People are able to have more fun with it. They don't have to stand there with arms crossed."
A year after forming, they released a debut demo cassette, recorded in spooky lo-fi in their practice basement in West Philly. Another cassette EP, Inhabit the Corpse, followed in 2017. Both tapes were reissued together last year as the album Manifestations. The band's boundary-smashing collision of musical ideas owes something to a Philadelphia scene that mingles heavy genres easily, as punk rock and metal coexist without incident on the same stages, the same nights.
"It sounds like it's possibly going to fall apart but it doesn't," says Kano, adding that chaos and rough edges are enriching to the music. "There's that impression of incompetence which I think adds to the sound."
Kano's connection to the city began when he was a small child, as his parents moved from Derry, Northern Ireland, and back again. He returned for a couple of years of high school, then relocated back to Philadelphia as a young adult to pursue music. He returns frequently to his Ulster homeland to visit family and tend to the satanic altar he still keeps in the woods behind their house.
Devil Master signed to Philadelphia-based Relapse Records, a label with roots in the city's beloved but now defunct Relapse brick-and-mortar store, where much of the band first learned about underground metal and hardcore. (The store thrives online now.) "We grew up with them. They're fans of the underground. They've never removed themselves from the punk and metal scenes," says guitarist Hades Apparition.
For the new album, produced by local Arthur Rizk (Code Orange, Power Trip), the band aimed to evolve without losing their identity. Satan Spits on Children of Light is 37 minutes of headlong force that lands with a sense of excitement and abandon that doesn't require listeners to share the band's diabolical interests.
"He's an amazing dude that can tap into what you want and run with it," says Kano of the producer. "He listens to all the same black metal we do and a lot of punk. His knowledge is just so vast that he can tap into anything."
The album begins and ends with the sound of an ominous piano melody. "We were trying to make a psychedelic Hammer horror-film vibe," explains Kano.
The song "Skeleton Hand" is high-tension horror-show punk, while "Desperate Shadow" layers wicked surf riffs amid the metal. "Her Thirsty Whip" is sleazy metal, while "Dance of Fullmoon Specter" explores an old Japanese myth. The album also includes a re-recording of "Devil Is Your Master," which was the first song tracked for the demo tape, an exercise that illustrates how far the band has come.
"We just embrace the chaos of the songwriting, and really allow it to become its own thing," says Hades. "We didn't want a slick recording. That doesn't work for us as a band. We still absolutely love the primitive nature of the demos. That's something we don't ever intend to remove ourselves too far from."
While Kano is not interested in having the band closely associated with the dogmatic "clowns" of some black metal, the second wave of the style that arose in Nineties Norway was a core influence on the group. Mayhem's snarling riff from "Deathcrush" was the first bit of guitar that Kano taught himself when he was 14. That same year, he skipped church one day to buy the book Lords of Chaos, and was drawn into its grim stories of extreme metal, murder, suicide and church arson. Kano had special fascination for Mayhem's doomed Swede, the singer Dead (a.k.a. Per Yngve Ohlin).
"His lyrics and art and everything about him — he was this fantasy figure. He's the Darby Crash of black metal," Kano says, connecting that extreme-metal scene to Seventies West Coast punk. "Now that I'm older and I realize how young those people were, I look at it in a different sense because I'm personally more mature. It's more, 'Wow, those people really went down that path that I could easily have went down.'"
Another source of inspiration was filmmaker David Lynch, who was a student at Philadelphia's Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts when he con- ceived of the film that would become 1977's dreamlike Eraserhead. "David Lynch was a huge influence on us," says Hades. "Growing up seeing really dark and surreal films like that really changes your perspective."
Likewise, on the cover of Satan Spits is a scene of psychedelic satanism by artist Erica Frevel, who piles on images of the Beast with fire, brimstone, sex, violence and general madness in frightening shades of purple, blue and orange. Like Kano, Frevel is a true believer.
"My friend Erica is the most intense satanist I've ever met," Kano explains. "She worships the void and what people would consider evil manifestations that come from the void. ... Most of her art is ritualistically done. This is one of the most lighthearted things she's ever done."
For Devil Master, unfurling their songs onstage is a ritual to be shared. "The most natural thing for me personally to put my energy into is music," says Kano. "We're all easygoing people who appreciate catchy stuff and having fun playing — and wanting people to have fun seeing us."

Director national insurance & AEP
I have a nasty suspicion I already know the answer to this question but hopefully someone might be able to point me in an alternative direction.
A colleague and I are co-directors of a start-up and have been since inception in Nov-10. The Company has only been in a position to pay salaries to our one employee and the two directors since Jul-11 i.e. from month 4 of this tax year. Prior to this, we were all working for free.
From July 11 to date, we have all been paid regular monthly salaries and basing the PAYE and NI contributions on the outputs from the HMRC Basic PAYE Tools software. Within the software, we have set the two directors to pay NIC's as if they were employees (we had originally believed this to be the most prudent approach). Having now prepared the last payroll run for this tax year (31 Mar 12), I see that the directors are now required to pay additional national insurance contributions as we are being assessed for national insurance based upon annual earnings (under the AEP) rather than month by month earnings as a normal employee would be. i.e. we are effectively expected to pay NI for the 3 months at the beginning of this tax year when we couldn't take salaries.
Is this assessment correct as it means the directors will be paying NI for the 3 months when they were unpaid and working for free whereas our employee only pays NI for the months that they were being paid salary? Is this a fault of the software not allowing for unpaid months or should I have set the software to show that we were only became directors from Jul-11 (i.e. when we starting getting paid) and therefore the NI would pro-rate and we would be treated no differently to an employee?
I know this is rather involved but I hope somebody can help as I'm waiting for a call back from HMRC but given how busy their call centre is, I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks in advance!

A lot has been written this week about holiday gifts for runners. Good ideas can be found on Runner’s World, and in posts by co-bloggers Mary Katherine Ibbetson, and Mike LaChapelle. And, at the risk of appearing like Homer in the episode “Life on the Fast Lane” where he gives Marge, (a non-bowler), a bowling ball inscribed with his name on it for her birthday, I’d like to recommend a gift that everyone in your household might find useful: the Body Back Buddy Trigger Point Massager.
What clinched it for me was this reviewer’s comment on the Amazon site: “WOW! I was able to fully reach the various trigger points in the glutes, piriformis and along the back areas from the lower back to the upper back areas and the shoulders and neck areas with ease.”
So my mother will be the lucky recipient of this gift. I hope she likes it. I know I will!
In other news this week, New York Timers reporter and runner Gina Kolata compares bike injuries versus running injuries. Also, the debate about barefoot running continues. As usual for the weekly running news recap, I’ve included a headline from each article and a passage to pique interest.
Fell off my bike, and vowed never to back on: “I crashed on my bike on Oct. 3 and broke my collarbone, an experience so horrific that my first impulse was to say I would never ride on the road again…..Yet almost no one swears off running after an injury, even though — and I speak from experience — a running injury can keep you away from your sport at least as long….”
Should runners surrender their soles?: “Studies have found that the average barefoot runner’s stride is about seven centimeters shorter than normal. Over the course of a marathon, that translates to about 7,000 additional footfalls above the 40,000 steps a typical racer will take to cover the 26.2-mile distance. ”
Ryan Hall will run Boston Marathon: “The fastest American ever at the Boston Marathon, Ryan Hall, has decided to restart his marathon career at that historic race next April, organizers announced today.”
Raise high the roof beam: “As Dr. Rosa and I got to talking about running one thing stood out in his system that was quite different from most training methodologies that I had experienced in the United States. His philosophy was that an athlete should hurt a little bit every day – even on recovery days.”
Going up: “You’re wondering what it takes to climb efficiently up hills, or even mountains, in races or on your weekly trail runs, we’ve gathered some advice from two of the best.”
An older article but worth posting – Should you run when you’re sick?: “Runners don’t like to skip workouts–even when they’re ill. Here’s how to decide when you should take a sick day from training.”
Motivation from behind: “We runners take pride in enduring the hard knocks of training and the pain of full-throttle competition. This photo essay celebrates the true grit of competitive running through sage words emblazoned on T-shirts.”
Army steps up efforts get new troops fit: “In fact the Army is tossing out the old training manuals, and taking a new approach to basic training. Gone are the long endurance runs, which officials say can lead to injuries in new recruits who aren’t accustomed to the mileage.”
Lessons from ultra endurance runners: “It’s hard to say what the average weekend warrior can take from a study of ultra-athletes who ran thousands of miles in a European foot race — aside from inspiration and a sense of awe. But for those who are interested, researchers found that extreme racing leads to significant bodily changes in a short period and that pain while exercising isn’t necessarily a reason to stop.”

Corner Bakery Café introduced its unique fast-casual dining experience to residents of the Northeast with the opening of a new cafe in the Promenade Shops at Cliftonin Clifton, New Jersey, on Nov. 15. This cafe is the first of 35 planned locations to open within eight years in the region by franchisee The Briad Group, a leading hospitality company based in Livingston, New Jersey.
"New Jerseyis a new state for the brand, and we are eager about the opportunity to continue our expansion in this region of the United States," says John LaBarge, vice president of franchise business at Corner Bakery Cafe. "The Briad Group has been a leader in the hospitality industry for almost 24 years. Their experience and established reputation in the area makes them an ideal partner for introducing the Corner Bakery Cafe concept to our neighbors in New Jersey."
"When we approached our franchise endeavors in the past, we've selected brands that fall within the quick-service, casual-dining and lodging categories," says Brad Honigfeld, founder and CEO of The Briad Group. "Our 35 planned Corner Bakery Cafe locations will expand our portfolio to include the quickly growing fast casual category, which fits well between our Wendy's and T.G.I. Friday's franchises and allows us to reach a new group of consumers in the state."
Since launching the Corner Bakery Cafe franchise program in 2006, CBCRestaurant Corp. has signed development agreements representing over 175 committed franchise locations including The Briad Group. By doing so, CBCRestaurant Corp. has more than doubling the current Corner Bakery Cafe system for the next four years. This swift growth can be attributed to Corner Bakery Cafe's strong unit level economics, as well as the proven success of the brand since its foundation in 1991.
The Briad Group opened its first Corner Bakery Cafe location in Clifton, New Jersey, on Monday, Nov. 15. The remaining 34 cafes will open during the next eight years in Long Island, New York, and northern New Jersey. The Briad Group was founded in 1987 when it opened a Steve's Ice Cream/Carnegie Deli in Princeton, New Jersey. Today, The Briad Group owns and operates restaurant and hotel franchises including 43 Wendy's, 70 T.G.I. Friday's, and several Marriott and Hilton brand properties in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and Pennsylvania. In the coming years, The Briad Group plans to open 15 to 20 more hotels within the Marriott and Hilton brand family. The many combined years of experience of Founder and CEO Brad Honigfeld, President and COORick Barbrick, and Senior Vice President and CFO Dave Cahill have made The Briad Group one of the fastest-growing franchise operators in both the restaurant and hotel industry.
Known for its innovative menu featuring a wide variety of made-to-order egg scramblers and oatmeals for breakfast, flavorful sandwiches, savory panini, homemade soups, signature salads, and pastas for lunch and dinner, freshly baked sweets for dessert, and an extensive catering menu, Corner Bakery Cafe has been delighting guests nationwide with fresh, handcrafted selections in a welcoming and cozy atmosphere for almost 20 years. Guests can also stay connected with free Wi-Fi.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of gambling websites on the internet. As a fan of online gambling, you need to weed through all of these sites to find the best ones to play at. The catch is that it won’t be the same for each player. A gambling site that is perfect for a fan of online sports betting, compared to a player who plays high stakes holdem might not be the best match for a player who plays mid-stakes omaha. Fans of slots, blackjack, and other casino games also have their own unique sets of preferences. They have different needs, so the “best” gambling site isn’t the same for anyone one single person. Factors like location, spoken language, also play a role.
That’s where we come in — www.gamblingwebsites.com. What we’re here to do is show you the different considerations you need to make when choosing a site and then provide you with top lists of the best gambling sites based on those considerations. That way you can quickly identify the best site for you to play at. We help you get to what’s most important — gambling on your favorite game(s) online, betting on your favorite sports, and testing your skills at the poker tables.
Real Money Games
You can gamble on many different games online. Online poker, slots and blackjack are just a few of the most common gambling games. You can even challenge someone to a board game for real money. If there is a game that can be played online, chances are you can find a way to play it for real money.
With that said, the games you want to play are one of the biggest considerations to make when choosing a gambling site. After all, if a site doesn’t have the game(s) you like to play, there’s no sense in you signing up to play there.
There are other considerations too, which go hand-in-hand with the games available. Here is a short list of other important “game” related considerations to make:
- Does the site have variations of your preferred game available?
- Are the games you like to play offered at your preferred stakes?
- Is there enough traffic to the games you want to play? A lack of traffic means a lack of games running.
- Is the software compatible with your computer? If not, is there an alternative such as a flash or no download?
These are only a few of the many things you should take into consideration when choosing a site based on games. Remember, not all of these will be applicable to the games you play or the form of gambling you wish to participate in.
Online Sports Betting
Similar factors are considered when choosing the best sports gambling websites. Reputation, ease of banking, overall user experience matter at online sports betting sites just as much as at online casinos, many all in one gambling sites offer all types of betting and wagering, not just one or the other.
It can be understated how careful you should be when choosing a sportsbook, hopefully our guide will help a few players research important considerations before depositing at a less than reputable bookmaker.
Bonuses and Promotional Offers
Bonuses are also important to consider because it’s free money. Who doesn’t like that? The reason why it needs to be considered is because not only will the size of the bonus vary from room to room, but the clearing requirements will too. Be sure to read the T&Cs for the bonus before signing up so you know what it takes. Here are a few things to look for:
- How many points does it take to clear or release every $1 (or whatever increment they use) of your bonus? How much do you have to spend in rake to earn each point?
- Using the above information — can you finish the bonus in the allotted time? Some bonuses expire in 30 days while others expire in 6 months. Some never expire at all.
- Check to see the increments in which the bonus is paid to you. Many sites do it in $1 or $5 increments while other sites do it as percentages of your overall bonus. What you want to be careful of are the sites that release the bonus in one chunk after the requirements are met. If you’re not careful, you’ll spend a lot of time playing and still may not earn anything for your effort.
- If your gambling at a casino site or site that offers casino games, do they exclude certain games from contributing towards the completion of your bonus? It’s common for many sites to say that tables games like blackjack do not count or count for much less compared to their other games.
So with these points in mind, you’ll need to figure out if the bonus is a good fit for you. Look at the games you play and evaluate whether you can earn enough points in the time to complete your bonus. If not, it might be better for you to play elsewhere, regardless of the size of the bonus.
Remember — it’s not a good idea to go with a site just because of the size of the deposit bonus. That’s like buying a car just because you like its color. But once you step inside the car (the casino) or look under it’s hood (see the games and software), you’re immediately unpleased. Always be sure the other aspects (games, VIP, traffic, etc) make you happy too before preceding.
Loyalty Rewards and VIP Promotions
VIP programs or other forms of player incentives are another factor to consider, especially if you’re someone who plays a lot. These incentives will impact your bottom line. You can make more money overall if you’re playing a game that can be profited from such as poker. Your money also lasts longer giving you more chances to hit a jackpot, not to mention prolong your entertainment. VIP incentives also offset some of the money you spent in order to play.
You’ll definitely want to do your homework. All rooms do their VIP or player incentive programs differently. You might find that one room treats all players the same regardless of how much they spend. At other casinos, you’ll find that the VIP program is top heavy. In other words, the more money you spend, the more incentives or bonuses you’re given. The less you spend, the few incentives you’re given.
Be sure to weigh the actual incentives too. Casino “A” might give you points to spend in their gift store where you can buy electronics or luxury items. Casino “B” might allow you to exchange points for cash. Casino “C” might offer all the above. So, you need to determine what you’d want and find the gambling sites that offer it.
Accepted Deposit Methods
Deposit methods are a huge consideration. They’re kind of like games. Meaning, if a gambling site doesn’t have the deposit method you need, you won’t be able to play there. The same holds true for withdrawals. It doesn’t make sense to deposit money on a site that won’t allow you to pull the money back off.
But you don’t want to only look at availability — you need to look at convenience too. Who cares if you can make a deposit if it takes 2 weeks for it to be credited to your account? Or if there is a withdrawal option that works but it takes 2 months for you to receive a check in the mail — and then it bounces. Do thorough research. Read forums, poker news sites and anything else that might shed some light on the quality and speed of processing at a given gambling site.
Legality / Availability = Confusing
If a site isn’t available to you to play at, than it wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense for you to spend time reviewing it — right?
Our country specific top lists will show you which gambling sites are better for individual countries. In many cases, these sites may not be “better,” but they might be the only sites offering any kind of gambling service to that country.
Lastly we plan to cover the future, online gaming sites are developing so fast it’s nearly impossible to keep up. Will Zynga rule the world? Will Google buy Zynga? What will the impact of devices like the Ipad? Stay tuned, we plan to cover the real money social gaming experience as it develops.
A quick note about problem gambling:
Problem gambling has far reaching affects on people and lives that can be devastating to the people we care about. If you, or someone you know, has a problem with gambling, please seek help immediately.


Jon Rahm heads to Memphis as the newly minted world No. 1 player for the first time in his career following his victory two weeks ago at the Memorial Tournament.
Rahm will be up against a stacked field at this week’s WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, with 45 of the top 50 players in the world set to compete in the final event before the first major of the year in the PGA Championship next week.
The field wasn’t nearly as strong for last week’s 3M Open, which saw Michael Thompson deliver with his second PGA Tour win as a huge +10000 underdog.
Thompson also earned a berth into this tournament with that victory.
The PGA Tour has been heading to this venue every year since 1989.
However, this is just the second iteration of this venue hosting an elite World Golf Championships event.
Despite sporting such a deep field in Memphis, there is one glaring omission – Tiger Woods.
Here is our first look at the field for the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.
Betting Odds To Win The WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational – Top 15
Jon Rahm +1000
Rory McIlroy +1100
Bryson DeChambeau +1200
Justin Thomas +1200
Patrick Cantlay +1600
Webb Simpson +2000
Xander Schauffele +2000
Collin Morikawa +2500
Viktor Hovland +2500
Dustin Johnson +2800
Brooks Koepka +2800
Hideki Matsuyama +2800
Tyrrell Hatton +2800
Daniel Berger +2800
Tommy Fleetwood +3000
Bryson DeChambeau still needs to be respected
Bryson DeChambeau set social media ablaze two weeks ago at the Memorial Tournament when he made a disastrous quintuple-bogey 10 on the par 5 15th, leading to a shocking missed cut.
However, reading too much into that calamity would be a mistake.
The ‘Mad Scientist’ has been mashing drives since bulking up and had seven-straight top eight finishes prior to that misstep.
That run includes his victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit.
DeChambeau’s Last Eight Events
Memorial Tournament - CUT
Rocket Mortgage Classic - WIN
Travelers Championship - Tied 6th
RBC Heritage - Tied 8th
Charles Schwab Challenge - Tied 3rd
Arnold Palmer Invitational - 4th
WGC-Mexico Championship - 2nd
Genesis Invitational - Tied 5th
DeChambeau is also playing for a measure of revenge at his last WGC event where he held a late lead but let it slip away, allowing Patrick Reed to steal the title from him in Mexico.
The fact that you’re getting him as the third golfer off the board presents some value and he definitely needs to be on your radar.
Defending champion Brooks Koepka reeling
It’s a dangerous game to count out the four-time major winner Brooks Koepka.
The defending champion at this tournament, Koepka has been struggling mightily with his game, which is in part because of a nagging knee injury that won’t seem to go away.
His last three events in particular have not been pretty, with two missed cuts and a T-62nd.
While Koepka has demonstrated the ability to turn things around on short notice over the years, these persistent injuries aren’t a good sign.
Koepka's Five Events Since PGA Tour Return
3M Open - CUT
Memorial Tournament - Tied 62nd
Workday Charity Open - CUT
RBC Heritage - 7th
Charles Schwab Challenge - Tied 32nd
That seventh place result at the RBC Heritage is Koepka’s only top-10 finish in his last twelve starts worldwide.
At +2800 odds, there is definitely some intriguing value on Koepka.
That said, it’s still difficult to go all-in on Koepka under the circumstances right now.
Past Five Winners at TPC Southwind
2019: Brooks Koepka -16
2018: Dustin Johnson -19
2017: Daniel Berger -10
2016: Daniel Berger -13
2015: Fabian Gomez -13
*2019 was the first year this tournament was held as a WGC event.
Fore Your Information
Horse for this course
Daniel Berger loves TPC Southwind, having taken home back-to-back titles in 2016 and 2017.
While he missed the cut in 2018 and then wasn’t qualified for this tournament last year, it’s impossible to overlook what he has done in the past here.
Berger is coming off a surprising missed cut at the Memorial last week, but he was on a heater prior to that.
He had racked up five straight top-10 finishes, including his victory at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Much like with DeChambeau, I’d be inclined to chalk that MC at Muirfield Village up as a blip on the radar.
At +2800 odds, I’d be much more inclined to place a wager on Berger than to bet on Koepka at the same odds.
Tyrrell Hatton +2800
In just four starts this year, Tyrrell Hatton’s worst result was a tie for sixth at the WGC-Mexico Championship.
The four-time European Tour champion then notched his first victory stateside at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Hatton has contended in both of his two starts since the hiatus, finishing T-3rd at the RBC Heritage and T-4th at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
He’s put together five career top-10 finishes at World Golf Championships events, so it isn’t a stretch to think this could be his time to snag his first career victory at a WGC event.
Also listed at +2800 odds, Hatton should be a contender again this week.
Tony Finau +3300
Tony Finau continues to do absolutely everything but win his second PGA Tour event.
Since capturing the 2016 Puerto Rico Open, he’s racked up an astonishing 30 top-10 finishes without a victory on the PGA Tour.
That’s the most top-10 finishes of any player on the tour that hasn’t won a single event over that span – Tommy Fleetwood is second with 16.
Crushing playoff losses at the 2018 WGC-HSBC Champions and 2020 Waste Management Phoenix Open haven’t helped his cause.
At the Memorial, Finau went from the outright lead to posting a 10-over through his final 25 holes to let any chance at a victory slip away.
Then he finished T-3rd at the 3M Open.
The law of averages suggests that he has to eventually pick off one of these events because he’s putting himself in contention so often.
Instead of going all-in on Finau to win outright this week, it might make more sense to explore alternate markets.
Finau is listed at +650 to finish in the top-five this week, which seems like a very reasonable outcome.

View Full Version : 30-06 Varmint ammo??
January 31, 2001, 02:27 PM
Remington advertises a 55gr. Accelerator in 30-06. I was thinking of trying it for coyotes, bobcat, etc. Has anyone tryed it or know where to get it?
January 31, 2001, 10:24 PM
If it's current advertising, then it's not out of production like I had thought it was. :)
I was given a couple of boxes of Accelerators, some years back. My rifle usually shoots inside one MOA. With the Accelerators, I was lucky to stay inside 3 MOA. You might be luckier than I was. At any rate, I wouldn't use them on anything over 100 yards off.
I always had good accuracy with 110-grain bullets as varmint loads, although it's been a number of years since I used my '06 on varmints.
January 31, 2001, 11:43 PM
Not an option for furbearers. If you wanna eradicate some pests, they'll be fine. But if you're shopping for skins, find something a little less "damaging." I saw a picture of my uncles first, and last coyote taken with some 30-06 accelorators he had. It was literally ripped in half in front of the backlegs. The backbone was all that held this thing together.
January 31, 2001, 11:45 PM
I used the accelerators on coyotes and fox in South Dakota and Montana back in the late 80's. I probably still have 2-3 boxes somewhere. Seems they didn't group as tight as I would have liked, but they weren't spraying all over the place either. Most shots were under 200 yards, probably majority in the 75-100 yard range after coming in to calls. Didn't damage the pelts that much as I recall.
February 1, 2001, 10:34 AM
No saboted centerfire round that I've seen seems to group well, whether it's Accelerators or handloaded sabot. Get a 22/250 or just stick to the 125 grain SP loadings in the /06.
February 2, 2001, 09:49 AM
Hey nedfig, Art's and Poodleshooter's posts reminded me of a plinking Load I used at one time.
I was using a 110gr RNSP bullet in a 300Sav just to get some trigger-time with that rifle and I seem to remember I was getting around 2" groups at 100yds with IMR-4064.
A buddy got curious about what I was shooting and asked to try some out. After shooting a few, he decided to load some for his 30-06. He used the same bulk 110gr RNSPs in his 30-06 with IMR-4064. I'd not bet money on it, but I think he was getting 1.5" groups at 100yds with it after a bit of playing with the load.
I do remember we were paying $4/100 for those bulk 110gr bullets back then at the Gun Shows, so I would guess that was 10-12 years ago. He still loads them as far as I know.
I don't know anyone personally who has shot the Accelerators, so I can't help you there.
Good hunting and clean 1-shot kills, Hot Core
February 2, 2001, 11:50 AM
Yeah, loading that Plinker bullet to around 2,000 ft/sec to 2,500 ft/sec will definitely put a bunch of hurt on small critters. Reasonably accurate, and zilch for recoil.
February 2, 2001, 09:56 PM
Using a 150 gr milspec fmj on furbearers is more than enough juice to get the job done and has better ballistics than those 110 gr bullets. You still have to place your shots carefully. Most animals up to the size of a coyote don't have enough mass to expand a standard soft point bullet, Then again, a 165 gr sierra boat tail will vaporize a badger.
February 4, 2001, 10:12 AM
I think the twist in most '06 barrels is not conducive to anything less than 125 gr. IIRC. I have shot 110 grainers at coyotes with success, but it took a lot of effort to zero it in and I had perfect weather - no wind, stable rest. The head shot was magnifique! Until I really have to time to work up a handload I'll stick to the 150 ballistic tips because I can get sub-MOA out to 200 yrds and head shots are the best way not to ruin to much fur.
I really would rather have a .22-250 for varmints than my beloved '06. At least I'd have longer, flatter range for some of those pesky critters.
February 4, 2001, 11:26 AM
Aw, c'mon, ER--ya call ol' Wiley in close enough, you can head-shoot him with a .22 rimfire! :D But I've never had trouble with group-size with the 110-grain bullets; I guess it's "the twist thing".
Dr. Rob, I've come to believe the Sierra 150- and 165-grain boat-tails must have rather thin jackets. You may have read my comments about no exit on a mule deer's neck with the 150. I once shot a doe with the 165-grain (60 yards, +/-) and you could stick your fist into the exit wound.
February 6, 2001, 09:01 PM
I shot a coyote while deer hunting with the trusty 165 gr Game-King, sheesh what a mess that made of Ole Wiley, Beep-Beeped him for good.
February 7, 2001, 05:45 PM
I don't believe HandloaderJon has seen my ".338 Win Mag VS. Coyote" Picture. You think yours made a mess. I almost died when I saw what the 250gr did!! :eek:
It seems there was some unseen controversy last time I posted it though....are we men, or are we mice??:D
February 7, 2001, 08:10 PM
Let us see it, we be men, ugh ugh ugh.
February 7, 2001, 09:27 PM
February 8, 2001, 11:44 AM
Hooo-ah!! He didn't run far;)
February 8, 2001, 07:41 PM
Heck, that looks like you shot him twice! Neck and heart both! Tough coyote? Ya oughta get sumpn with enough punch to take him out with one shot. You know, .243 or suchlike.
February 9, 2001, 04:34 AM
February 9, 2001, 08:20 PM
Some of you might recall this story from other posts: The absolutely most destructive load I've ever seen was my uncle's load of an 80-grain .32-20 bullet, swaged down to 30-caliber and laoded into an '06 ahead of a lot of 3031. I'd guesstimate a muzzle velocity close to 3,800 or so.
On coyote-sized stuff, or on down to jackrabbits and suchlike, it's sorta like using a hand grenade. It makes bodily parts go all whichaways. Do not, repeat, do not, shoot overhead into a buzzard. :) I did. :( but I was 16 at the time; fortunately I was not only agile, but speedy--and that day, I had incentive.
February 12, 2001, 11:06 PM
Try some of the Speer 125 gr TNT hollow points. They are very accurate and quite explosive when they land. You can buy them in bulk too. I load them with 53.0 gr of IMR 4064.

Members of the Fox Chase Homeowners Association expected to hear about a relatively minor zoning case in the neighborhood, but instead got a lesson on a major flaw in the city’s new zoning code.
Members of the Holmesburg Civic Association last week overwhelmingly voted to oppose a proposed methadone clinic at 7520 State Road.
A methadone clinic is not a permitted use of a property that is zoned C-2, the Zoning Board of Adjustment wrote in its findings of fact and conclusions of law, which was prepared as it nears a court challenge in connection with the proposed facility at 7900-04 Frankford Ave.
Residents said the building on E. Madison Street was “a bomb waiting to explode.”
Mayfair Civic Association last week rejected one zoning proposal and gave preliminary approval to two others.
In a word: No.

Gay pride parade
Last summer, Collins considered joining an old Stanford college roommate, U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, at Boston’s gay pride parade. The NBA veteran eventually decided he shouldn’t. But he will in 2013.
It’s a day for pride in Manhattan. The 43rd LGBT Pride March — also known as the Heritage of Pride March and the Gay Pride Parade — began at noon at 5th Avenue and 36th Street.
How do you show your Pride? Send us your Gay Pride celebration photos and we’ll feature them in a gallery!
WCBS Newsradio 880 is counting down the top 11 Tri-State area news stories of 2011 and number 9 marked a major change for the civil rights of those in the Empire State.
Everything from the outrageous to the tragic happened in June. Take a listen.
Gay and lesbian couples can legally begin pre-applying for a $35 marriage license starting July 5. On July 25, New York State will begin issuing those licenses.
The applause was deafening for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who signed the bill into law. “I believe New York has sent a message to this nation loud and clear. It is time for marriage equality all across this country,” he said. Across the Hudson, however, Governor Chris Christie maintains his opposition to gay marriage.
The 42nd annual Gay Pride Parade will kick off at noon in Midtown. This year, an estimated half a million participants will be celebrating New York’s historic decision to legalize same-sex marriage.
The right of same-sex couples to wed became reality in New York state late Friday night after Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the controversial Marriage Equality Act into law.
The building that housed the club was owned by one of Paladino’s many companies, Huron Group LLC.
Saying “I have made mistakes,” Republican gubernatorial hopeful Carl Paladino apologized Tuesday for statements he’s made over the past few days about homosexuals.

Today is World Photography Day! In honor of this day, I decided to share five things you may not know about me as a photographer along with this delicious recipe for Raspberry and Pear Mini Tarts that has been FEATURED ON EYESWOON.
1) I didn’t learn to cook until I met my husband, Mike.
My mom used to say I left for college knowing how to boil water. When I was in college I would stock up on ramen noodles and Kraft mac and cheese, so she wasn’t exactly wrong. When I met Mike in my late 20’s, he cooked for me on our second date. He made asparagus risotto and to this day, he still makes it for me. I remember watching him cook in my tiny apartment kitchen and was amazed at how much he enjoyed doing it and how easy he made it look. My love for good food has always been there, but Mike got me to see that cooking was not only something I could do, but something I wanted to do.
2) I started taking pictures with my cell phone and lighting from a window in my apartment.
I didn’t go to school for photography. While I was learning to cook, I started seeing food differently and was drawn to how beautiful the ingredients were. I would be in the middle of chopping up scallions and would “see something” in how they were laying on the cutting board. I’d move everything into the living room where there was a large window and I would take several pictures with my iPhone, because it was the only “camera” I had. It sounds so simple, but I was starting to fall in love with the process of cooking and how beautiful it could be. Then, my family surprised me with my very first DSLR and I started to teach myself how to use it. Today, I love to shoot with my Nikon D750.
3) I always wear an apron during my shoots.
I love aprons. I wear them during my shoots because I’m constantly handling the food and I need to wipe my hands off a lot. I also like to switch between lenses on the fly, so I use the large pockets to keep them protected and near me. My Mom just sent me a new apron recently. The note said, “To my Saveur Photography Finalist. Love, Your Proud Mother.” I’ve been wearing it everyday.
4) I have a love/hate relationship with my tripod.
Do any other photographers feel this way? I like being able to move around during my shoots to find interesting angles and compositions. However, sometimes depending on the light and my settings, my tripod is the best thing in the world to help me get the shot I want. See? I love it and yet, I find myself avoiding it.
5) My three go-to resources for inspiration.
1) The first is my Anthropologie catalog that comes in the mail. I love the composition on each page, the colors and the mood. I am not a fashion photographer, but for some reason those catalogs feel like a guide for me as I continue to develop my own style. The shoots always seem to be somewhere exotic and beautiful too and I can’t help but feel inspired to explore (not to mention go shopping).
2) The second is simply walking around the grocery store or the farmers market. Sometimes, I just want to go look at everything with no intention and no plan. It usually inspires my next shoot or at the very least, something tasty to make for dinner.
3) And last, but definitely not least, people. I’m an introvert at heart, so this one was not as obvious to me in the beginning. Now, I realize how important it is to have a support system when I’m in a creative rut and even when things are going really well. Whether it’s Mike, my family, my friends or communicating with my readers through the blog and my social media friends, they’re all consistent with support, energy and love. Speaking of which, voting is still open for the Saveur Food Blog Awards, so be sure to vote as many times as you want! I’m still pinching myself that I’m a finalist for Best Photography. Thank you for your votes and support… it means so much to me!
RASPBERRY AND PEAR TARTS
For the Filling
- 3 medium pears, peeled and thinly sliced
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
For the Topping
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ⅓ cup chopped macadamia nuts
- Optional: I bought 2 boxes of pre-made pie crust at the market (1 box has two crusts), but you can make your own if you’d like.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Press the pre-made crusts into the bottom and up the sides of a 6 mini tart pans.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pears, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon zest and lightly stir to combine.
- Gently fold in the raspberries.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared crusts and spread evenly.
- Place the mini tart pans on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Placing the tarts on the baking sheet helps catch any dripping juices so you don’t have to clean your oven afterwards.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, sugar, lemon zest and macadamia nuts.
- Remove mini tarts from oven and sprinkle over the top of the filling.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is browned and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
