Blom had taken some big hits to his stack but just doubled up through Greenstien and then won another sizeable pot to be back among the leaders will Ivey also still in the mix at the top.
BLOM DOUBLES THRU GREENSTEIN
We got to the table with a small sea of red chips in the middle between Barry Greenstein and Viktor Blom on the board of {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Greenstein had checked to Blom, who sat in the tank. Eventually, Blom slid out a bet of 67,000. Greenstein moved all in and had Blom covered. Blom didn't seem to thrilled to make the call, but did so anyway. He then asked Greenstein if he had a set and Greenstein shook his head no.
Blom: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Greenstein: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
The river was the {7-Spades} to pair the board and complete the double up for Blom. He was all in on the turn for 188,500 total and now is back over 470,000. Greenstein was left with about 162,000.

Ah, vegetarian haggis made no sense to me whatsoever, I thought they'd left a typo on the menu or something.

We stumbled across this morning to get a breakfast and got a full Scottish Breakfast for £2 75% off! Was flying through the yoke before I realised what I was eating, what I thought was a very peppery black pudding was in fact Haggis. It was pretty ok to be honest with you, but after reading about it there, I think I will be steering clear of it for quite a while!
Also, for any vegetarians among you, would you be happy enough to eat it? The pub thinks its a veggie friendly food...

I'm going to give the haggis another run at some stage, but will just need to not think about what it actually is!

When I was modding soccer, if one of us got to actively debating in a thread, we would pass all the moderation of said thread onto one of the other mods. If you're involved in a discussion that is in anyway contentious, you just cannot go and lock it down the road. Even if none of the motivation to lock it was about stifling a discussion that you were losing (and let's face it, people are human), the perception of your objectivity will be tarnished to such an extent that you should avoid it from a moderating perspective.

Have teaching on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and the rest of the time is research. The hours can be kept that flexible into the future. All programme director hours can be done in that time as well, and most of it is by email anyway. My plan at the moment is to fly back to Dublin to meet the gf every second week for Thursday through Monday.
But now I'm thinking ... I'll just move back to Dublin full stop and then fly back here for the three days of teaching per week which only happen about 26 weeks of the year. It's £55 for the return flight including transport and then £60 for the three nights in a crappy hotel over here. So not that much on a monthly basis....
Really can't see the flaws in the plan, and here is such a kip. The gf and myself have lived together for a small bit, so no huge surprises in that department.
Please point out some potential flaws as an advance warning!

Tastes amazing as a combination if you don't think too deeply about the haggis part!

Even comparing a punch from Rampage with a kick from Crocop or Machida would be interesting

Jure Robic RIP
Jure Robič (born Jesenice 10 April 1965, died Plavški Rovt 24 September 2010 was a Slovenian cyclist and a soldier in the Slovenian Army.
Robič won the Race Across America 5 times (a record in the men's solo category): in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2010. He was in second place at the final time station in 2009 when he dropped out to protest time penalties he had received. Robič swore never to enter RAAM again, but changed his mind and came back in 2010.
On 19 September 2004, Robič broke the world 24-hour road record by cycling 834.77 km (518.70 miles). In 2005 he won Le Tour Direct, a 4023 km (2500 mile) race on a course derived from classic Tour de France routes.
Robič was renowned for pushing himself to extreme mental breakdown during endurance races. He has been laboratory tested, and his abilities to produce power and transport oxygen were found to be parallel to those of other top ultra-endurance athletes worldwide.
During the 2004 Race Across America, he was reported to have had only eight hours of sleep during his eight-day, 2958.5-mile (4761.2 km) ride across the United States.
He died on 24 September 2010 in a traffic accident when he was hit by a car on a forest road in Plavški Rovt near Jesenice.
