OK... Now I'm crackin up. Funny you should mention the field. I've been up at Burning Man (company supports the event) in the middle of the desert nine miles north of Galveth, Nevada. I felt "at home" and was literally giving desert survival instructions the other night. The more I taught, the more that gathered around to listen. They are a "gifting" culture and considered my instruction a gift. It felt good. Taught them the shadow-tip method for finding North. Then asked my favorite "think" question, "Now, it's a moonless night, how do we use the shadow tip method at night, which led into the stars, which led into... Now as for the potty thing and the Senator... I can't help but wonder.., If you're a cop and you're trolling for those trolling for sex in airport bathrooms - isn't your career pretty much in the crapper?

I’m in a stall at an airport in Reno. I just noticed there’s no paper. What’s the rule for asking the guy in the stall next to me? Hand up or Hand down? If he refuses, can I kick his foot with mine? I’m so confused and my butt's going to sleep… Have a good holiday all. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Captain Brian Edward Wheeler: The soul of Brian Edward Wheeler, 37, a three-tour Army combat veteran of Somalia, East Africa and the liberation of Iraq; departed this earth on Saturday, October 22, 2005 as the result of a tragic accident south of Locust Grove in Mayes County. The son of retired Brigadier General Ed Wheeler, former Mobilization and Task Force Commander for the Oklahoma Army National Guard during the Persian Gulf War and the First Deputy State Area Commander; Brian was a 1986 Honors Graduate of Tulsa's Memorial High School. Although he received appointments to all four military academies, he chose to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. During his cadet career he distinguished himself by publishing a biography of Brigadier General Ranald Slidell Mackenzie and becoming the first Information Systems Officer for the U.S. Corps of Cadets, during which he designed and implemented the first cadet computer network. In 1990 he graduated with Honors and was commissioned a 2LT of Infantry. Initially assigned to the 1st Battalion, 11th U.S. Infantry at Fort Benning, GA, he also graduated from Airborne and Air Assault Schools. However, before he could attend Ranger School, the Army discovered his skills in the field of computer operations and he was transferred to the Signal Corps and sent to the Signal Officers Basic Course. As a 1st lieutenant, he was then assigned as the Signal Officer for the 43rd Engineer Combat Battalion (H) and almost immediately deployed in support of Operation Restore Hope in Somalia, East Africa, attached to the U.S. 10th Mountain Division. During this tour he was responsible for maintaining signal communications for the 43rd Engineers with satellite links across southern Somalia while being based at Baidoa on the Ethiopian border. Following completion of this mission during which he was decorated for performing "exceptionally well in a hostile fire environment", his battalion returned to the United States. Twelve days later, the 43rd Engineers were sent back to Somalia in support of Operation Continue Hope to build Victory Base outside of Mogadishu, following the Battle of Mogadishu. During that tour, the 43rd Engineers were under constant mortar fire from Somalian warlord gunmen in the capital city. Upon completion of that mission, his battalion returned home to be deactivated and he was sent to the Signal Officers Advance Course at Fort Gordon, GA, during which he was decorated by the Chief of the Signal Corps for his performance in Operation Continue Hope. He was then sent to the Army's Command and Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, KS and upon graduation he was assigned as a Signal Company Commander in the 11th Signal Brigade stationed at Fort Huachuca, AZ. After successfully commanding the unit, he was reassigned to the 11th Brigade staff, however, he had developed other dreams that he wanted to pursue. In 1997 he resigned from the Army and entered law school at the University of Oklahoma. In 2000 he graduated with Honors and distinguished himself as an Associate Editor of Oklahoma Law Review. During this period, an article he wrote and was published in the Oklahoma Law Review, concerning Oklahoma state bond indebtedness, was so insightful that it was later cited as an authoritative source by the Oklahoma State Supreme Court. Following graduation, he entered Georgetown Law School in Washington, DC, to pursue an LLM in International Law. However, during his first semester, he was offered the opportunity to serve as a Federal Law Clerk for the Honorable H. Dale Cook, Senior U.S. District Judge in Oklahoma, assigned to the Northern Judicial District. He left Georgetown and joined Judge Cook's staff for the next two years. Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, he joined the U.S. Army Reserve as officer in the Army's Judge Advocate General Corps, where he was assigned to Team 3, 2nd Judge Advocate Detachment. . Shortly following the end of his two-year tour with Judge Cook's office, he was called into active duty. Initially assigned to the U.S. Army Reserve Personnel Command headquarters in St. Louis; he was later order to report to Brigadier General Robert L. Davis, Chief of Engineers, G-7, Iraq Provisional Command, based in Kuwait City. As a result, once the Iraq War began, he became one of the first JAGs into Baghdad as the Engineers occupied the former presidential palace on the Tigris River. After a lengthy tour of duty that took him all over Iraq, he was returned to the United State and assigned to the Trans-Atlantic Command Headquarters in Winchester, VA. Following his duties there, he returned to Tulsa to initiate a private practice in the field of law. He was a member of the U.S. Military Academy Alumnae Association; a life member of the American Legion, Post 1, Tulsa; Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 577, Tulsa; and the Military Order of World Wars. He was also a member of the Federalist Society, Tulsa and Oklahoma Bar Associations; a member of the Oklahoma and Washington, DC In addition, Brian was a member of the USPA and working on his "A" License.

Most would say yes. I've had more success with driving 90 degrees to them. F1 or 2 during the day - kewl. The ones that really pucker me arse are the rain-wrapped F5's at night.

Sorry, as you gets a little older, you have difficulty seeing things up close... Could I impose on you to take a pic from about 3 feet away, 'Bout as far as the chiggers on me butt pic would be fine. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

You are correct and that's usually the case... make them start wondering from the git-go. I was two Aces and a flush draw. Truth is; I was trying hoping he would lead the action did not put him on Pocket A's until he confirmed his bet on the turn. I made at least four mistakes in that one hand. The biggest one in not pausing to llok at something other than the shiney diamond on the end and not that the board had paired. Had I paused, As the first two said, he was way ahead form the beginning, I hadn't seen much action, dove in and shit the bed.

So let me see if I got this right... You can travel to the US to skydive, but can't drive an hour to a rigger? Mine's 45 minutes away. If you're having problems with finding a rigger every 120 days, then you'll have those same problems with a 180 day pack cycle. Is your argument about safety and inspection of the H/C and a reserve AIR or being inconvenienced? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Well, there's plenty of books on the strategies of position, betting (pre-flop, Flop, turn, river - when to bet the pot, when to bet double or triple the pot), how many are left after the pre-flop or flop bet, how many are behind me, button raises, how to play the blinds, etc. There's two types of play - one is below the rail (the cards), the other is above the rail (your opponents and your position). It's just like learning to skydive - First you learn some basic survival skills, then you start building on that knowledge and then suddenly everything starts coming together... where you'll combine below the rail and above the rail into a total dive flow. But, the foundation to beginning is to know what's a good starting hand. Here's a good site to start memorizing the pre-flop starting hands and probabilities of winning... http://www.holdemsecrets.com/startinghands.htm In the top right corner are some additonal links to review. At first, you're going to be playing below the rail (cards only). Be prepared to muck A LOT. When you muck, observe the other players play. Look at where they're sitting in relation to the button, how many people are behind them, what they bet, how they bet, non-verbal communication can be a tell or they could be feigning a less than lackluster hand to suck someone in... Just as with Chess, it takes a lot of time, a lot of games and a lot of learning the strategies to get good. And, be prepared to lose. The worst thing you can do is play with scared money. Have floors and ceilings - If I get down to this, I'm done. If I get up to this, I'm done. If you're going to play in the free on-line games, please understand that most people are just throwing money at the pot and you're not going to get the same people or dynamic as you would in a casino with real money. At the 2/5 or 5/10 or 10/20 tables, there is a completely different and more professional dynamic than the 1/2 (where the tendency is to chase the river). It's definately a love/hate relationship. I hated the dumbass mistake I made the other day and should have walked away. I went last night and made 150% (ceiling) of my $1,000 buy-in... took me ten hours. Patience. If the gambler dude comes out - bitch slap him. Play what you have not what you "think" or "hope" is going to come. The probability goes way down after the flop on the "hope to comes." Sometimes they do and you'll have thrown away the winning hand... anyone who says they haven't thrown away a winner hasn't been playing long. Good luck. EDIT: And don't ever show your cards unless you HAVE to. I see a lot of people so proud of their hands that they roll them too much and give free information. Even if I won with quads or boat, if there were no callers, they go into the muck pile. Make 'em pay to see it. If someone asks me if I'll show if they muck, I tell them I show if they pay for the priviledge. And don't get all chatty with the other players (they're still trying to get free informaton - could you beat two pair, were my KK's any good, could you beat eights on the flop, would you have called a hundred dollars on the flop?)... you're not there to make friends, you're there to win and take their money.
