grats to that, but I have something similar yet no migraines (atleast the doctors won't call it that). I can wake up with headache and these can continue for couple days. Thank Allah that they are 95% of the time not severe, but sometimes it's f terrible and it makes me go grumpy.
I've had MRI / CAT scan whatever and a f camera up my nose to my god where it went but pretty deep and they didn't find anything.

Also all the moroccans that I f hate are the scum that aren't even allowed in Marocco so.

Beyond that, thick steak cook it at a high temp to get a decent crust and make sure it is evenly cooked throughout. Salt, pepper, and montreal steak seasoning.
Fraser island and whitsundays in queenland is a must if u have the time.

No love for Allah goofyballer? The islam is the most friendly loving kind hearted religion out there.

and about the marocco thing you wouldn't understand if you didn't visit Holland / Belgium. Shipit2kg can confirm that it's scum.

What's really annoying is listening to these two idiotic women talk about the interviews they got. They're going to a joke of a school (essentially a community college) getting a joke of a degree and scored 4 points lower than my MCAT but they're getting in.

So ****ing lame.
remember, there's always israel... haha! its silly, but i'll be a doctor next year.

She's working with some crazy kids right now (like two soon to be sociopaths who have done stuff like attempted rape and severe beating of family members at age 12) and is applying for her last practicum site. Her thesis, music with deaf kids, is going along well.

Waiting a year to get in wouldn't be too terrible. It would mean that we wouldn't be in school at the same time. It's just frustrating right now. I still have an outside shot at this point, but I haven't even gotten an interview yet.
This is similar to my law school app process; I'd be in at Columbia if I had gone to a state school or somewhere with dumb people and gotten a 3.7 or whatever. I've gotten in a number of places just they don't have the basic job guarantee that somewhere like Columbia does. Oh well.

I have to add that while I don't know about his other motives, in Holland the moroccan male population is probably 70-80% bad news. They get most contact of all with the police (more than the in general more poor black population), and are in general often annoying in public by harassing women. As such, there is very little love in the country for them.

The young women, however, tend to do quite well in integration and school, and also ok in jobs.

I know enough good Morrocans. I've dated one and worked as a student at the airport (Personal assistant of vips, kids and disabled people) with a lot of morrocans. Problem is that the good ones can't get away of the terror that the bad morrocans bring. Most of these were brought here 60 years ago and were already the dumb ****s from Morocco. Most of them say that they are ashamed of what kind of scum is brought here and how they act. Problem is that this group is large and they hurdle and (like Randiek) says terrorize women and cause problems. So yeah most of them are scum unfortunately. Shakram el sachbi

Cooking on low heat keeps the molecules seizing rapidly and squeezing the moisture out of the cells. This is the idea behind soud-vide.

The tighter the molecules wraps the less it can re-adsorb the juices upon resting.

The steak method is close to my CIA project of the perfect roast chicken. Cook the chicken on low heat (250F) until almost done then blast it on high heat to crisp the skin.

So Slow is best for the inside of the meat
High is best for the outside (caramelization effect)

So with the steak (and my chicken) technique, you get the best of both worlds.

Basically, I dropped about $11k in 50 hours or so (past two weekends of 5/10). When you are buying for $1500 and reloading pretty quickly and/or topping off at $2k if a whale is sitting deeper, it really isn't that big of a loss. Just frustrating because 1) I was breakeven for a bit before that and 2) you really just have to grind through it live. Also irritating because the games were ****ing incredible this weekend and when you are running poorly, one mistake makes a huge difference in your session.

I had to b/f sets 3 times on the river this weekend (was right each time, just frustrating) and lost a 4k pot earlier today when I check shoved 77 on 997A and got called by K9 and then lost.

Since you probably want a real hand analysis--the most irritating hand from this weekend that I also butchered (IMO the only really bad play I made in like 25 hours of play this weekend): whale limps, tag who respects my game and is fairly tight isos 60, I flat KK on the button so whale will come along, like 2300 stacks. The tag isn't gonna call too wide OOP vs. me if I 3 bet and the whale folded before to some 3 bets so I think this is a pretty standard call that I'd be happy to make every time. Whale is terribad postflop too, so I definitely want to do whatever I can to keep him in (I saw him call two big bets in fairly large pot with 52 on T876 only to bink a 9 on the river for a chop...lol). Anyway, flop is 442, whale checks, tag bets 100, another pretty standard spot where I call so the whale can come along. Whale c/r to 325 and tag calls. I know I'm ahead of the tag here 100% of the time and yeah there are going to be times when the whale has a random 4, but I can't see folding here so I call. Turn is a J, whale checks, and the tag bets 550. This is literally only JJ. There is nothing else he can possibly play this way. I'm somewhat irritated (had to dump KK twice earlier in smaller spots) and make a spite call somehow justifying to myself that he can have QQ here and value bet it vs. the fish. Of course I don't think about how he wouldn't bet that because he is at least competent to know MY range crushes that. So anyway I ****ed that up big time by calling. Funny (and irritating part) is the whale c/r all in, tag snaps, I fold and obv whale has a 4 and the tag has JJ and the river is a K. Whale, in typical whale fashion, says he was afraid of 22 so he checked the turn. So yeah I would have won a 7kish pot if he had just called.

Basically, everything is standard just more painful live because grinding through run bad can take a long ass time. Also it tilts me (I know I should be over this by now, but **** off) when horrible live tagfish rip off 5k sessions like it's nothing every other weekend. Reminds me of when Joe Forte called a 5 bet all in from terp with 53 200 bb deep and hit trips vs. a big pair (I've probably thought about that hand 3 or 4 times since I started playing again and Justin hasn't in years, sorry!). I will never forget that hand as it is the perfect example of how no matter how good you are, some moron who thinks they are good can win more than you for a long period of time because they run hot and can do no wrong. That's the way the game works though.

that was too long, so I'll try and make up for it:

nice spoiler and sucks with that K on the river, because you made the correct fold
