Pokerstars VIP store shipment =(by T8Suited, October 21
I recently sent a message to pokerstars VIP store to inquire about the status of some iPod that I ordered 4 weeks ago. To my dismay I receive no email response from them for 3 or 4 days.
Has anyone experienced similar silence from the VIPstore lately? Normally they are very receptive and quick to response.
All the regulars here at LP know that I support Obama and worked my ass off to get him elected. Overall I think he's done a "good" job - not great, not fantastic, not amazing, just good. So objectively there's a lot of room for improvement, but comparatively he's doing pretty well. By that I mean "good" is good enough considering that the other option is "insane and horrible".
One of the areas where he's doing worse than a Republican is Marijuana. He campaigned saying he would direct the federal government to leave Medical Marijuana states alone and not use their resources to go after anyone under the Medical Marijuana umbrella. At first the Justice Department declared they were going to follow that directive, but the reality is much different. Here in CO there have been more raids on Medical Marijuana by the DEA under the Obama Administration than there were under the Bush Administration. Some of you won't believe that I'm saying this, but on the issue of Marijuana Obama is WORSE THAN BUSH. Obama promised better treatment and gave more verbal support to MMJ than bush did, but that rhetoric isn't being applied in reality.
It seems to me like he's getting so beat up on all the other issues that he's abandoned ship on Marijuana. That's somewhat understandable, and I do agree that education, clean energy and health care are more important than legal MMJ. But the crazy thing is that an issue like Health Care is much more controversial than MMJ, and when looking at the facts MMJ is a much clearer and easier issue than health care is. I'd hoped that Obama would be capable of sitting down, looking over the facts and coming to a rational and logical conclusion, but on the issue of pot, where the information is there to be understood, he hasn't made the connection. And the fact that he could have so much trouble figuring this easy issue out worries me about his ability to deal with the more complicated ones.
I'm ready for our politicians to get up and pronounce their support for Marijuana. The fear is illogical and when our leaders continue to act like there's a reason to fear weed it perpetuates the cycle. Our current leaders are all a bunch of cowards. I'm an independent voter who has been siding with the democrats lately cause they're not as crazy as the republicans, but god they do overall suck. I'm sick of this 2 party system filled with liars and cowards. I hate having to vote for the lesser of two evils, to choose between warm shit and cold shit. I'm sick of it.
Anyway here's what I originally meant to post but then I started ranting. Oh, and do note that this article, which is very critical of Obama and calls him out for lying, is from the Huffington Post, a place that people often consider to be Obama lover central:
Election 2008: What a wonderful time to be a medical marijuana patient in Colorado! Voters had just elected Barack Obama as the President of the United States of America. "Hope" was in the air. Thousands of Colorado medical marijuana patients and caregivers were certain that the Federal government would cease trampling on their State constitutional rights after Inauguration Day.
Candidate Barack Obama had explicitly stated, "I would not have the Justice Department prosecuting and raiding medical marijuana; it is not a good use of our resources." Watch:
Later in the campaign, Obama promised, "I will not be using Department of Justice resources to try to circumvent state laws on the [medical marijuana] issue," since America has violent crimes and terrorism to deal with. Watch:
Instead, mere hours after the new President was inaugurated, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") unleashed a campaign of terror on medical marijuana patients in California. Optimists in the marijuana movement attributed this to nasty Bush holdovers and career bureaucrats throwing one last temper tantrum.
In the wake of these raids, new U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, laughingly reassured us that Candidate Obama's statements are "American policy" now that Obama has become President:
On October 19, 2009, our hope was further bolstered with the issuance of formal written guidance (PDF) from the U.S. Justice Department related to medical marijuana.
The issuance of that guidance seemingly removed one of the last significant impediments to upstanding business entrepreneurs serving Colorado's suffering medical marijuana patients. A new industry started to form, creating jobs, paying taxes, and leasing vacant commercial space. The cobwebs began to clear from Colorado's dormant economy.
Then, on February 2, 2010, amid gasps from nearly the entire marijuana reform movement, medical marijuana patients, and other open-minded science-based thinkers, Obama formally nominated former Bush DEA Administrator Michelle Leonhart, to head the Obama DEA.
Leonhart has a notorious career as a jack-booted administrator of the least successful government program in modern history, i.e. the Drug War, and has a fawning affection for the highest-paid DEA snitch of all time, Andrew Chambers, a criminal who has been found to have committed perjury by at least two federal appeals courts. Any hope that Obama would chart a new course on drug policy was dashed by this horrible nomination.
Only ten days after the Leonhart nomination, the belligerent Obama DEA dropped the equivalent of a nuclear bomb on Colorado's medical marijuana patients with an armed militarized raid on small-time home-based medical marijuana farmer Chris Bartkowicz. The day of this raid, the DEA Agent in Charge, Jeff Sweetin, declared open federal warfare on Colorado's entire nascent medical marijuana community.
"Technically, every dispensary in the state is in blatant violation of federal law," Sweetin told the Denver Post. "The time is coming when we go into a dispensary, we find out what their profit is, we seize the building and we arrest everybody. They're violating federal law; they're at risk of arrest and imprisonment."
Sweetin's apocalyptic declaration of war and threat to "arrest everybody" terrified Colorado's sick and suffering medical marijuana patients. The day after the raid, I filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility against the DEA agents involved in the raid. My complaint was quickly and decisively backed by U.S. Congressman Jared Polis.
To this date, months later, neither Congressman Polis nor myself have received any response to our pleas to the Obama administration to uphold its "American policy."
Although Sweetin eventually backed away from his full frontal declaration of war, and Obama sent him to Quantico, Virginia, Sweetin's words pale in comparison to what Obama's Justice Department had in store next.
On February 16, 2010, the U.S. Attorney for Colorado filed a criminal prosecution against Bartkowicz in federal court. Obama appointed John Walsh as U.S. Attorney, and Obama's hand-picked federal prosecutor further upped the ante, successfully requesting that the Court place a gag order on the Bartkowicz defense from even mentioning his intent to comply with Colorado state law at the jury trial.
The Obama Administration's court filings reveal that Bartkowicz faces a grotesquely disproportionate 20 years to life in prison only because he went on television to discuss what he believed were legal actions in growing medical marijuana.
Progress is being made against Marijuana Prohibition. Soon, this modern-day Prohibition will be as extinct as a saber tooth tiger. In the meantime, however, that cornered tiger still has sharp claws and long teeth that can destroy human life and freedom. Obama has done the opposite of what we thought, and what he promised. Instead of caging that tiger, he has unleashed it.
Colorado's medical marijuana community should fear the Obama Justice Department. An objective analysis reveals that, as far as Colorado medical marijuana is concerned, eight years of George W. Bush were better than one and a half years of Obama. Bush Justice did not prosecute a single Colorado medical marijuana grower or patient over eight years. Obama has conducted numerous medical marijuana raids and property forfeitures, and seeks to steal Chris Bartkowicz's youth from him. With Obama's term not even half over, there seems little "hope" for "change."

So dissapoint that stripper only gave sad ending massage
I decide to craiglist to get hj
found this:http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/biz/2014448405.html
so I go, it's in some poor neighborhood in Philly
I'm afraid of it being a sting but then I think this neighborhood is too poor for police.
I'm afraid of gangs but I don't see any around and it's like 2pm so I go in house when she gives me call
she is like 6'2 6'3, 195lbs all muscle
something clearly seems wrong with her, her legs has like marks on them I can't tell what is wring with her legs. But she has really fine muscle tone but ugly dog face, like big foot's woman.
So there's other people in the house, I'm pretty concerned
I enter her room and it's just a mattress with sheets and she puts a towel on top the bed. And that's where I'm supposed to get massage. So I'm not going anywhere I came for a hj, Ima get a damn hj. Shit if I care if it's a crak house and on a mattress. The music is the radio. She give me back massage for like 4 minute then has me turn over and puts condom on and start givingnme bj. I tell her to play with my balls please. She like grabs them and it hurts but I'm not saying anything then she starts to crush one and I say ow. She starts to go lighter but it's like her hands are in some kind of clutch and she's knuckling my balls, but whatever she's trying her best. I start cumming and it's like she wants feel cum come into her mouth. Then i asked for a hug and she gave me a good hug and I think she is sweet person, like a human who is just trying to feel good.
I wonder if she was addicted to crack. I don't know if I'll go back, place still scares me
and she might have aids and it's not even a massage table. Maybe I shud just move to Vegas, those Asian women are much better. They know all sorts of techniques and shit

Just gonna post this while it lasts. Started with 100$ May 14th don't know how many hands I've played because I had to delete my database, but not full time.
I was almost at 1k but the downswing was my switch to 25 nl 4 buy ins 100$ is hard to get used to ... around hand 16073 I took desperate measures and won 2 buy ins at 50nl followed by some cautious 10nl play and then back to 25nl my redline has never looked like this before so I hope I'm doing something different. Spent 18.000 ftps on headphones for my mom because she keeps taking mine but now it says it could take 6 to 8 weeks to arrive? full tilt store
Im a long time lurker, poker/starcraft player. I just got the New SC2 and Im kicking ass :D I also am playing a lot of poker now so I figured this would be a good place to start up a blog and get some help form you guys on hands and stuff! I think blogging can help me out a bit because I dont really get to talk about poker with anyone because none of my friends are serious about poker or even know how to play for the matter.
Im a 25nl FR player atm. Trying to move up from busto stakes to the 100nl bum stakes before the summer. Ive got a pretty lacking schedule at school right now so I have a lot more time to put into my poker. Right now Im just going to school and Im in my last year so its just about time to get back into the real world and get a serious job. But for now I just wanna stack as much loot as possible!
I think I have become a bit too comfy at 25nl because Ive been playing it for a while now. I can grind out enough money for beers and food and a few bills with ease so Ive just gotten into the same old routine. Its hard for my roll to grow because Im always taking off small amounts every week. Next semester I have a super light schedule so Im probably going to get a part time job. Never really felt the need to get one while Im at school but I will just have so much free time on my hands that I might as well just keep building the resume.
Like I said earlier I just got SC2! I used to play this game a ton when I was 13-16 years old. I was never really that great at the game but always loved the challenge. I mean Im definitely not a SC noob. Right now Im 1st in my Bronze league division. I have no idea how the ladder system works tho so thats probably not much of an accomplishment but I thought it was cool lol. I tried out all the races durning those first 50 novice games that you get to play at the start and Ive gone back to my old roots, Terran. Been watching a lot of replays lately looking for some build orders and strategies. I feel like Ive got some pretty good basic strategies for each match up. I havent really seen a lot of good cheesey strategies in the replays tho so if you know any good Terran replays where they cheese for the win link it in the comments! :D Also, I know TL.net is a good place for replays but what are some other great sites for SC2 replays?
Anyways, I got a lot I want to talk about but Im going to save it for another day. Getting pretty late and I wanna get a few SC games in before I crash.
